Chapter 79 The item should be returned to its original owner

The aroma of braised fish filled the small dormitory. The salty and fresh taste of soy sauce wrapped around the tender fragrance of the fish made Yu Li want to try it immediately, but he held back.

Qi Sheng picked up a piece of fat and tender fish belly meat, avoiding the obvious large bones, and carefully put it into Yu Li's bowl. There was a barely noticeable tremor in his fingertips.

Qi Sheng said, "It's freshly made, try it."

He tried his best to sound calm, but when his eyes fell on Yu Li looking at the fish in the bowl with his eyes downcast, his heart beat uncontrollably faster.

Yu Li has very long eyelashes, which blink when they hang down, which is very cute.

The tip of his nose was slightly red, probably because of the heat from the food, and his whole body felt soft.

"Hmm." Yu Li poked the fish with chopsticks and looked up at Qi Sheng with a hint of grievance in his eyes, "There are thorns, it pricks my mouth."

These words were like a feather, gently scratching Qi Sheng's heart.

He was suddenly stunned, his eyes fixed on Yu Li's slightly pouting lips.

The lips were very light in color. He had just drunk warm water, so they were still slightly moist. They looked soft and delicious...

Qi Sheng's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.

Qi Sheng quickly collected his thoughts and began to admonish himself, "Stop having such a fast heartbeat. Don't let your mind wander. I have more important things to do..."

I want to take back the Saar Federation, fulfill my brother's wish, and drive out those people from the Free Alliance. He is innocent and should not get involved in my affairs.

He clenched his chopsticks so tightly that his fingertips trembled slightly, and he breathed lightly, fearing that he would reveal his inner thoughts.

But Yu Li didn't seem to notice his nervousness. She just poked the fish in the bowl again and said in a softer voice, "Can you feed me like you used to?"

"good."

Qi Sheng blurted out almost as Yu Li finished speaking.

The "revenge" and "ideal" that I had just been repeating in my mind were instantly thrown out of the window.

He suddenly had only one thought left: to pick out all the fish bones and feed them to Yu Li.

This seemed to have become a conditioned reflex of his body.

He picked up another piece of fish, put it in his bowl, lowered his head, and used chopsticks to peel the fish meat apart bit by bit, carefully looking for the small thorns hidden in the texture.

The dim light in the room fell on his face, outlining his serious profile. Even his slightly furrowed brows held an indescribable tenderness.

Yu Li sat opposite him, holding his chin and looking at him without blinking.

Qi Sheng's movements in picking out fish bones were still as skillful as ever, his fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, and even the way he held the chopsticks was very beautiful, exactly the same as when he helped him pick out fish bones before.

"It's done," Qi Sheng finished picking out the last small bone, raised his head, and handed the fish meat to Yu Li's mouth, "Eat slowly."

Yu Li opened his mouth obediently, and his teeth lightly touched the tip of Qi Sheng's chopsticks. When he felt the tender fragrance of the fish spreading on his tongue, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Is it delicious?" Qi Sheng asked, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Well, not bad." Yu Li nodded.

"Then eat more." Qi Sheng was about to pick another piece of fish for him, but Yu Li silently took a bite of vegetables.

He stared at the strawberry ice cream in front of him, and suddenly felt that everything was not as difficult as he thought.

Yu Li changed the subject and said, "Qi Sheng, I am the king of Xisana. You know, I have never lived in such a simple room."

He deliberately spoke calmly and looked up to observe Qi Sheng's reaction.

Qi Sheng's action of picking out the fishbone really stopped, and the gentleness on his face instantly faded, replaced by a trace of guilt.

He looked at the simple single bed in the dormitory, then at the room full of training equipment. Yu Li's clothes were simple but made of high-quality materials. His Adam's apple moved. "My conditions here are limited. I'm sorry to have wronged you. I'll take you back tomorrow... back to Xisana, or back to my brother's villa... either is fine."

Qi Sheng found at this time that he seemed to have no reason to keep him.

"Yeah." Yu Li responded and picked up the chopsticks, but did not pick up the fish. He just gently stirred the rice in the bowl.

His tone was as if he was discussing business. "I just figured it out. If you really have someone you like, we can dissolve our marriage."

"We don't really need to care about this relationship. As long as we don't return to the Saar Federation, this relationship will automatically cease to exist. This is good for both you and me."

"Have you made up your mind! Break up with me?" Qi Sheng raised his head suddenly, his voice rising a few degrees.

He had clearly kept telling himself that it was too dangerous for Yu Li to stay by his side, and that separation was the best option for both of them.

But when he heard Yu Li say the word "separate" in person, his heart still felt like it was being gripped by a deadly weapon, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

Yu Li looked up at him. The previous grievance and expectation were gone from his eyes. Only a hint of alienation remained. Like a truly high and mighty king, he said, "Well, I've made up my mind."

He said: "Since you have forgotten me, there is no need for me to remember you. We do not belong to the same country, and our identities and positions are completely different. If we re-evaluate this relationship, we may not even be friends."

Qi Sheng became even more panicked when he saw his attitude suddenly turn cold.

He wanted to retort, wanted to say: I haven't forgotten you, I just, just have something I have to do.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it. What if Yu Li really stopped associating with him after hearing it, what should he do?

"I'll borrow your bed tonight, and you can sleep on the floor."

Yu Li put down his chopsticks and stood up, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Qi Sheng stood up and followed him subconsciously, as if he was afraid that he would leave suddenly.

Yu Li walked to the bed and suddenly stopped.

Qi Sheng stopped half a meter away from him.

The two men were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Yu Li suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand towards Qi Sheng.

Before Qi Sheng could react, he saw Yu Li's slender nails suddenly grow longer, emitting a faint cold light.

The next second, Yu Li's hand grabbed his neck!

The slightly cool temperature on his fingertips made Qi Sheng's body tense instantly.

But Yu Li didn't use any force, just let his nails gently touch his skin, slowly sliding down, from the artery in his neck, to his collarbone, and then into the collar of his vest...

Her fingertips brushed against his warm chest, rubbing circles inside.

“…” Qi Sheng’s whole body stiffened, and an electric current spread through Yu Li’s fingertips to his entire body, making his body instantly hot.

He could clearly feel the touch of Yu Li's fingertips, which was delicate and a little cool, making him unable to control his desire to touch her more closely.

His consciousness urged him to push Yu Li away, but he found that his body had already betrayed his reason, and he could only let the other's fingertips wander on his chest.

The rationality in my mind gradually collapsed, leaving only the instinctive throbbing.

He even wanted to grab Yu Li's hand to let the slightly cool touch stay a little longer.

Just when Qi Sheng was about to lose control, Yu Li's fingertips suddenly hooked the amber pendant on his neck, and with a light pull, the red rope tied to the pendant broke instantly.

"Since you don't remember who I am, there's no need to take my things with you." Yu Li's voice was as cold as ice. He held the pendant in his hand and said, "It's time to return it to its original owner."

"Little carp, give it back to me!" Qi Sheng suddenly came back to his senses and reached out to grab the pendant.

When this name came out of his mouth, he was stunned for a moment!

He didn't know why he called Yu Li "Little Carp", but the name seemed to be engraved in his bones and came out naturally.

When Yu Li heard this name, his body shook violently.

His hand holding the pendant trembled slightly, his eyes instantly turned red, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Qi Sheng," his voice was choked with sobs, and he could no longer maintain his previous composure, "Do you really not remember me? Or are you just looking for a decent excuse to leave?"

Tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the back of Qi Sheng's hand. They were slightly cool, but they burned Qi Sheng's heart.

He looked at Yu Li's red eyes and the amber pendant tightly grasped in his hand. Suddenly, more blurry images flashed through his mind...

"I... I don't." Qi Sheng opened his mouth, "I seem to... remember some fragments, but they are very vague..."

"You only remember a few fragments?" Yu Li laughed, and her tears fell even harder. "Qi Sheng, do you know how hard I tried to find you... I thought I would be fine once I found you, but you forgot me."

Did you really forget, or are you just pretending to forget?

I only remember some fragments, but I clearly remember that I like braised fish, strawberry ice cream, and you.

"I need time, I..." Qi Sheng's head suddenly hurt so much that he forced himself to explain, "But I know you are very important to me."

"Then, are you still willing to be with me?" Yu Li spoke slowly, as if expressing his last wish.

…

Antia, Institute of Science.

The researcher reported to Bai Chuan: "The blood sample sent by the hospital has passed the laboratory test. You guessed it correctly. This sample does have regenerative capabilities."

Bai Chuan excitedly picked up the communication headset: "Everyone, gather in the conference room."

An emergency meeting was quickly held and Bai Chuan opened an online connection.

The person who answered the meeting was Zhai Mo.

"It actually worked?" Zhai Mo's voice echoed in the narrow conference room. "So what are you going to do next?"

"Getting the donor's gland as soon as possible allows us to proceed with the surgery immediately," the researcher said. "Although we may have to wait a while, the sooner the surgery is done, the faster the patient can recover and adapt to the new gland."

Zhai Mo: "If they are not the same species, will there be a rejection reaction? What if the operation fails..."

At this moment, the cold white light of the fluorescent lights in the conference room shone on Bai Chuan'an's tense face.

He tapped the table with his fingertips. "This operation can only succeed, not fail."
