Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Mingchao took out a packet of tissues and threw it next to Huo Daofu.

"You handle it yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to go inside, out of sight, out of mind.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the person on the ground, and a very faint, subtle smile appeared on the corner of their mouth.

Anger surged to the top of his head.

"Laugh? You still have the nerve to laugh?!"

Shen Mingchao's chest heaved violently, and he kicked the other person's shin as a way of venting his anger.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

"How old are you? Why are you still playing this childish game of risking your own life and gambling on whether others will soften their stance?"

"I shouldn't have bothered with you! I should have just let you become useless!"

It's so annoying.

All I can say is that Hodolf is indeed ruthless.

She simply couldn't bring herself to let him risk his life.

Hodorf picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth haphazardly. Even though he had spat out most of the pills, a few still dissolved in his mouth, leaving a bitter taste on his tongue.

Now that things had come to this, he had no dignity left to speak of, so he simply gave up and collapsed to the ground in despair.

The incandescent light from the ceiling hurt his eyes.

His vision blurred into a ball of light, and he could barely make out Shen Mingchao's face.

He worked tirelessly to develop this medicine, and the exhaustion from the past few days finally caught up with him. Coupled with the mental and physical exhaustion from testing the medicine on himself, he had reached his limit.

Faced with Shen Mingchao's anger, Huo Daofu retorted in a fit of despair, "Without you, I'm useless anyway, so be it."

Yes.

This is something that Hordorf only recently discovered.

Before he could even figure out his own feelings, his body made its choice first.

He only has feelings for Shen Mingchao.

In other words, he thought he had gained something, but in reality, this benefit was more like an invisible chastity lock.

His threshold was raised, and he was also locked out.

He couldn't distinguish between love and lust; he only knew that he was probably inseparable from Shen Mingchao, even just to see him, otherwise life would be too dull.

Therefore, even anger could make him feel relaxed and happy, and the distress of the past few days would dissipate at this moment.

The faint scent of her shower gel wafted through the air, stirring up emotions within him that he could no longer suppress.

Hodor looked up at her, his voice as soft as a sigh, yet unusually earnest:

"I'm so happy, Mingchao, truly, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for still being willing to talk to me."

There's a saying, isn't there?

You can't hit someone who's smiling.

Shen Mingchao felt instantly stifled.

She finally understood. Hordorff was a shrewd man. He used a feigned retreat to advance, silencing all her anger. She couldn't vent it, nor could she remain silent.

But this person just wouldn't have been so greedy.

He cautiously twisted his body and slowly approached her, staring at her with an indescribable look in his eyes.

It was hazy and moist, with a sticky, clinging feel to it.

She had never seen such a look in Hordorf's eyes.

Just as the person was about to touch her feet, Shen Mingchao suddenly took a step back.

"Hey! Are you a cat? Why do you like to stick close to people?"

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

San San, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was woken up by the noise at some point.

Meowing softly, it nimbly stepped out of the house, rubbing its fluffy head against her legs, clinging to her affectionately.

Hodor lay on the ground, watching Shen Mingchao gently embrace the calico cat, his tenderness a stark contrast to his attitude towards him.

A strange pang of sadness welled up inside me.

He's actually very petty.

The reason he can get along with so many people in a seemingly polite and peaceful manner is not because he is magnanimous or indifferent, but because he has no choice. He can't compete with them or take them away, so he can only endure it.

But now he realizes that he is so petty that he can't even tolerate a cat.

This frustration has been building up for a long time.

Now that things have come to this point and there's no point in hiding anything anymore.

Hodor looked at the cat in her arms, his voice low and tinged with a desperate, almost obsessive, determination:

"If being a cat makes you not reject me, I can be a cat in front of you."

……ah?

Shen Mingchao stood there, stunned, wondering if he had misheard.

What outrageous statement did she hear again?

At this moment, she seriously suspected that Hordorff had damaged his brain from drug trials, otherwise why would he keep talking nonsense, and even be jealous of a cat?

Just as she was frowning, thinking about how to get rid of this lunatic, a nonchalant male voice suddenly came from the end of the corridor.

"Oh, I guess I've come at an inopportune time."

Shen Mingchao looked over and raised an eyebrow.

Hey~ here's a solution.

At the end of the corridor, a tall figure slowly approached.

The man was dressed in a sharp black leather jacket, with an upright posture and a leisurely pace, carrying an exquisite gift bag in his hand.

Hei Xiazi's methods are different from Xie Yuchen's.

He's a centenarian after all, so he knows how to behave. He doesn't deliberately create any awkward coincidences, but he always pretends to be a deliveryman and delivers things every now and then.

The good thing is that most of the time, the bear simply puts the item down and leaves.

Therefore, they rarely meet.

The black bear came at just the right time this time.

The situation was too complicated to explain in a few words. Shen Mingchao waved to Hei Xiazi and then pointed to Huo Daofu on the ground: "Get rid of him, and I'll take your things."

The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.

Upon hearing this, Black Bear immediately perked up, his mouth almost twisted into a grin, thinking: This is truly a godsend!

But Hordorf on the ground wasn't so happy; his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

You can be scolded, beaten, or disliked by Shen Mingchao.

It's absolutely unacceptable to help your love rival.

Thinking of this, Hordorf quickly got up, no longer crazy or dejected, his eyes regaining their sinister look.

He had only one thought in his mind: if he was in hell, no one else would have an easy time either.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out another bottle of medicine, handing it to Shen Mingchao in a low voice, with a sinister, provocative tone:

"Ming Dynasty, no need for such trouble. I can leave on my own. But some people's things are not clean, so don't accept them easily. I still have a bottle of medicine here. Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try it."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted over almost imperceptibly, then he said sarcastically, "Anyway, I have the courage to drink a whole bottle. As for the others... well, I don't know."

Black Bear noticed the gaze and raised an eyebrow. He had sharp ears and could hear what Hodolf was saying, or rather, the guy was deliberately saying it to him.

He just didn't quite understand.

medicine?

What medicine?

Should we put eye drops on them?
