In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 54 Night
Cheng Sinian stretched out his palm as he was told.
"It requires some bleeding, just bear with it."
Qiao Yu cut a knife on Cheng Sinian's palm, and then quickly placed the ring on the wound.
Bright red blood dripped down his palm onto the ground, staining the ring red.
But as expected, there was no response.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu cut his palm again, squeezed the blade with his fist, and dripped blood onto Cheng Sinian's wound.
This time, after just two seconds, the jade ring seemed to be gradually dissolving, becoming smaller and smaller, until it was finally absorbed by the slowly healing wound along with Cheng Sinian's blood.
After the wound disappeared, a small, distinctive mole appeared on the palm of Cheng Sinian's hand.
But unlike Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan, Cheng Sinian's mole is black.
Cheng Sinian felt dizzy when his wound was healing. He closed his eyes for a while and vaguely saw a green empty room.
"Oh, so this is what space looks like." Cheng Sinian had always heard Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu talk about space, and today he finally saw it for himself, and was a little curious. "Although it is definitely different from Qiao Yu's, it should be similar to Brother Zhan's, right?"
Qiao Yu used the jade fruit shell to heal the wound. As Jiang Zhan examined her hand, she replied, "It's almost the same, just the color and size inside are different."
The spaces of Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan were both bright emerald green, while the space of Cheng Sinian's ring was a little dark in color.
Seeing that Cheng Sinian had basically adapted, Qiao Yu took out some of his and Luo Zhenzhen's commonly used items from the space, and also took some furniture, daily necessities and fruit juice, and asked him to put them all in the space.
"I'll give you a small amount of food and hot water now. Take it in and try to see how fast time flows inside." If the speed of time flows inside is the same as outside, then he won't be able to have hot food and hot water in the future.
By the time they finished tidying up the space, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Although the RV was comfortable and familiar, they were all covered in blood, and even after changing clothes, they were still a bit dirty. If they returned to the RV to shower, they would need to consider the drainage of the gray water tank.
Qiao Yu remembered that when he was looking for the ring, he saw a house at the foot of the mountain with its doors and windows well preserved, so the four of them decided to go there and rest for a night.
On his way down the mountain, Cheng Sinian followed his memory and went through all the houses where he had found food. Although most of the fruits and vegetables had rotted, there was still some rice, flour, grain, oil, etc.
Qiao Yu had previously confiscated it because of its poor quality and its space was completely empty. This was now a perfect opportunity for Cheng Sinian to practice.
Although they may not like these things, there will be many people who want them when they take them to the base. They can be exchanged for a lot of things.
The house where the four of them stayed had only two rooms. Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu went straight into the east room.
Once the door was closed, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen were left to resolve the issue of the other room's ownership on their own.
“Hmm…”
As soon as he entered the house, before Qiao Yu had time to take a look at the room, Jiang Zhan pressed him against the door panel and blocked his mouth.
His kiss was eager and frantic, his powerful lips and tongue went straight in with sweeping force, hooking up the tip of Qiao Yu's tongue and sucking it hard.
Qiao Yu endured his angry kiss without resistance, raised her hands, and obediently embraced his neck, inserting her fingertips into his hair, gently soothing it.
Jiang Zhan's mood had been off since she was injured today. Even after her injury healed, this mood still did not improve.
Although Jiang Zhan had no expression on his face and did not make any unusual moves, Qiao Yu could sense it.
Qiao Yu's clothes were quickly stripped off.
Jiang Zhan held her in his arms, his kisses gradually moving down, lingering on her neck, biting and licking her continuously.
There was a dense tingling pain in his neck, and his body was being kneaded vigorously. But Qiao Yu did not avoid it, and his hands continued to gently caress Jiang Zhan.
She understood that Jiang Zhan was venting his anger and also punishing her.
His uneasiness, fear, impatience, anger... were endured until now before venting, and Jiang Zhan's condition was much better than before.
Suddenly, a feeling of weightlessness hit Qiao Yu. Her eyes blurred, and the next second, she was being held by Jiang Zhan and sitting in a water tank that had appeared out of nowhere.
The warm water covered their bodies, and soon caused waves of splashes.
"Ah Zhan... um... it's okay... it's okay..." Qiao Yu's voice was intermittent due to Jiang Zhan's buttocks, but she still hugged Jiang Zhan's neck, kissed Jiang Zhan's cheek again and again, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, um... I won't... won't make you... worry anymore..."
Jiang Zhan listened to her moans, which were half joyful and half painful, but he remained silent. He just stared at Qiao Yu's flushed cheeks with dark eyes and bit her lips again.
He can't control himself.
Today, he was the one who got her hurt.
Whenever he thought of Qiao Yu lying in his arms, covered in blood, he felt so painful that he felt like he was suffocating.
The helpless despair and fear still linger in his mind until now.
He could only hold her in his arms over and over again in this way, and then tell himself again and again: Look, Qiao Yu is fine, and she doesn't blame me. She is still willing to let me touch her, and she will kiss me gently...
She will always stay by my side and accompany me.
--
After Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu entered the house, only Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen were left in the outer hall, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"How about..." Cheng Sinian said with a sly smile, "Sleep together?"
“…”
Luo Zhenzhen lowered her head and huddled in the corner, her face so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
But thinking about how cold it is, sleeping on the floor is indeed a bit damp and cold, and it's already the end of the world, and this kind of situation will definitely happen more often in the future. I can't let him or myself sleep on the floor every time, right?
So Luo Zhenzhen comforted herself in her heart not to be pretentious, nodded, and stammered: "Then, let's do it together..." After a long time of mental preparation, she was still embarrassed to say the word "sleep".
Cheng Sinian was stunned. Is there such a good thing?
He knew that Luo Zhenzhen was shy and had already prepared to sleep on the floor. He was just teasing her just now and never thought that she would agree.
"Then... go take a shower first." Cheng Sinian took a deep breath. Luo Zhenzhen's agreement really made him feel better.
There was a small storage room in the west room. The two of them cleaned it up a little and used it as a temporary bathroom.
Cheng Sinian took a camping lantern and hung it on the roof. Then he took out the tub of warm water, a ladle, an empty tub, and some of their usual toiletries, towels, and clothing that Qiao Yu had just given him. He said softly to Luo Zhenzhen, "You go wash first. I'll make the bed."
"Yeah." Luo Zhenzhen's answer was so low that it was almost inaudible.
There is thick fog outside the window.
After Cheng Sinian made the bed, he sat by the bed, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
The sound of water splashing came from inside, beating against Cheng Sinian's heart again and again.
The girl he liked was taking a shower inside.
They would soon sleep together in this room, in this bed. Just the two of them...
When he thought of this, Cheng Sinian's blood surged and kept gathering in his lower body.
"Depend on!"
After reciting the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" twice in silence without any results, Cheng Sinian growled helplessly and resigned himself to his fate, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and going out to the yard.
The cool air penetrated into his heart and spleen, finally relieving some of the heat in Cheng Sinian's body.
There was no movement in the east room. It must be that Jiang Zhan had set up a mental barrier.
Cheng Sinian had never envied Jiang Zhan's psychic abilities as much as he did now.
If he also had psychic abilities and sealed his five senses, he wouldn't have to suffer like this!
You can’t eat it, you can’t look at it…
Cheng Sinian once again silently recited the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility".
But as he was reciting... he remembered Luo Zhenzhen's eyes that looked like crescent moons when she smiled.
The corners of Cheng Sinian's mouth curled up unconsciously.
When she smiled, her eyes sparkled, as if the sky was filled with stars... so beautiful.
Her skin is very white, delicate and smooth to the touch.
The waist is also very thin...
When Cheng Sinian thought of this, he suddenly frowned and shook his head.
As if he had suddenly changed his soul, he began to recite the "Classic of Purity and Tranquility" again.
Like a schizophrenic patient.
After repeating this several times, Cheng Sinian finally accepted his fate and stopped clinging to the Classic of Purity and Tranquility.
He stroked his forehead, thinking of Luo Zhenzhen in the room, his face showing both sweetness and helplessness. Finally, he sighed softly: "Tsk, it's so annoying."
