Chapter 182 Kill Bai Yueguang and Tie Up the Devil's Heart (17)

Li Ziyan fell into Jingze's arms, his forehead was abnormally hot and his cheeks were red. Jingze didn't care whether there was anyone watching around, he picked up Li Ziyan sideways and flapped his bony wings to carry him to the infirmary.

"What's wrong? Put him on the bed!" The doctor stood up and waved his hands. After seeing Li Ziyan's face, he looked at Jingze, "It's you guys. What's wrong? You're here again today?"

"He fainted."

"I know he fainted. I'm not blind." The doctor replied angrily, shaking his head as he examined Li Ziyan. "He burned his hand yesterday. It could easily become infected and inflamed, causing a fever. Why were you so careless?"

“…”

Jingze opened his mouth but didn't say anything, frowning, feeling a little guilty. Not only had he not noticed, but he hadn't been able to control his desires and fooled around with Li Ziyan last night.

"The wound is inflamed, but it's not serious. Just a simple treatment will do. He's caught a cold. I'll prescribe some medicine later. He should rest." When the doctor examined Li Ziyan, he naturally had to unbutton his clothes and listen to his chest. The scars still on Li Ziyan's body were particularly conspicuous. The doctor glanced at Jingze and said meaningfully, "I know that demons have greater needs, but you must also care for and cherish your partner, otherwise you will lose your other half's heart."

"I..." Jingze wanted to explain the relationship between them, but his mind was in a mess. He was irritated by Li Ziyan's hurt yet pretending to be strong look yesterday, and he couldn't speak at all.

Seeing him frown, the doctor thought he was blaming himself, so he didn't say much. After re-treating Li Ziyan's wound, he left the cubicle, leaving the space to the two people.

Jingze sat on a stool beside the bed, legs apart, arms folded, his eyes fixed on Li Ziyan. The person on the bed had his eyes closed, his face pale but with an abnormal flush, completely different from the blush he had when the two of them were intimate.

At that time, Li Ziyan exuded a sense of laziness and charm, making people want to hug him and kiss him, but Li Ziyan like this only made people want to hold him in their hands and coax him well, looking pitiful, like a kitten thrown into a pool.

Just like the kitten he picked up, its meowing makes people feel soft-hearted.

Jingze reached out his hand, placed it on Li Ziyan's forehead, and uncontrollably slid down to touch Li Ziyan's cheek. He didn't like Li Ziyan at first, and only wanted Li Ziyan to be a substitute, a cover. But the more they got along, the more he couldn't control his feelings, and he didn't know how everything would develop.

Li Ziyan's confession that night, which seemed true or false, made him confused, but he couldn't control his joy. Su Jianbai's unintentional provocation made him upset, and his perfect image was quietly cracking.

Jingze withdrew his hand, closed his eyes tightly, and exhaled. Everything was no longer under his control. Perhaps, from the moment he chose Li Ziyan as his substitute, things had changed.

"Hmm..." Jingze was still thinking when a muffled groan came from the bed. He looked over and saw Li Ziyan frowning, moving, and slowly opening his eyes.

"You're awake,"

"Why is Mr. Jing here?" Li Ziyan's voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were clear. He turned his head, avoiding Jingze's hand that wanted to help him, and sat up by himself.

“…I just happened to be passing by.”

"Oh, so it was Mr. Jing who sent me here?"

"Um."

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

Li Ziyan's words were distant and polite, his voice gentle and polite but not intimate. Jingze's hands stiffened for a moment, and he looked at Li Ziyan with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

He knew Li Ziyan wasn't like that. From the beginning, he knew Li Ziyan was soft but tough. The two of them never lost when they got along, and from time to time he would have some new feelings. But now, Li Ziyan had become just as he said, polite and courteous, with a personality that was 70% similar to Su Jianbai's.

Jingze gritted his teeth as he tightened his fists, speaking in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"What is Mr. Jing talking about?"

"Who are you imitating? Jianbai?"

Li Ziyan lowered his head and chuckled, "Yes, Mr. Jing doesn't like me like this?"

“…”

"Mr. Jing, I'm not a fool. I know why you came to me. I know you don't like my personality, but you're my financial sponsor, so naturally I have to meet your demands."

Li Ziyan left no room for negotiation. His voice was gentle, but his words pierced people's hearts. Yes, he was obviously here to be Su Jianbai's substitute, and the more like Su Jianbai the better, but Jingze couldn't be happy.

"Who told you? Who told you about Su Jianbai?"

"Mr. Jing, you have never thought of hiding it from me... otherwise..." Otherwise, you wouldn't have clarified it online, wouldn't have left him alone when meeting his parents, and wouldn't have allowed Su Jianbai to appear in front of him and embarrass him.

Li Ziyan raised his head and looked at Jingze. He didn't say the rest of the words, but Jingze felt a pain in his heart.

He reached out his hand, pinched Li Ziyan's chin, and pulled him in front of him, his eyes dark, "Don't mention him...you..."

"Okay, Mr. Jing," Li Ziyan tilted his head, smiled, blinked, and his eyes were a little red. "I'm a little tired, Mr. Jing, can you let me rest for a while?"

"..." Letting go of his hand, Jingze retreated to the door and watched the person lying on the bed. He said nothing and watched for a long time before leaving.

The door was closed with a "click" sound. Li Ziyan opened his eyes and a curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

Since Su Jianbai was unkind, he couldn't blame him for taking drastic measures.

Li Ziyan slowly closed his eyes, a smile on his lips, and clenched the corner of the quilt in his hands.

For three consecutive days, Li Ziyan did not contact Jingze as usual. Jingze looked at his phone all day long, lingering on the chat box with Li Ziyan, typing and deleting, but in the end he did not send a single word.

"Buzz—"

A message came from the mobile phone. Jingze's dark red eyes flashed. He picked up the phone, and after seeing the content, the smile on his face disappeared.

Wei Xiuzhu: Big boss, let's go out and play tonight.

Wei Xiuzhu: Let's go hunting for beauties. I heard a hottie came to the bar a while ago and there's a show today.

Wei Xiuzhu: Wenrui and the others are going too, let’s come together

Jingze looked at the message sent by Wei Xiuzhu, rubbed his eyebrows, and wanted to refuse, but he had been upset recently and was worried about having nowhere to vent, so he finally agreed.

"You're finally here, President Jing. I thought you were going to give up an entire forest and remain chaste just for Su Jianbai!" Wei Xiuzhu handed Jingze a glass of wine, crossed his legs, and the horns on his forehead flashed in the dim light. "Let me tell you, this one today is definitely much better than your Su Jianbai."

"Xiuzhu, haven't you been muttering about looking for little Zi Yan? Now you've fallen in love with someone else?" Wenrui and Gu Cheng looked at each other with teasing on their faces. Sure enough, they saw that Jingze's expression had changed a little.
