Chapter 4, Your Savior
Si Xu...
After murmuring the name, Jiang Ran began to change his clothes with stiff fingers.
The final boss in the original novel, the head of the Xiling base laboratory, the only survivor of the first batch of experimental subjects, and the ceiling of combat power in the novel.
The supreme commander of Xiling Base is Shen Lang of the Shen family, also Jiang Ranran's grandfather. Because of Si Xu's willful and reckless behavior, the Shen family and him have long been at odds. Later, because Jiang Ranran was taken advantage of by Si Xu, Shen Lang finally found an excuse to take action against Si Xu.
Luo Rui played a crucial role in the siege and suppression battle that defeated Si Xu. After killing Si Xu, Luo Rui also gained the recognition of the Shen family with this achievement and became Shen Lang's adopted daughter.
As for Jiang Ranran, after Si Xu's death, she didn't even wait for the Shen family to rescue her, and she committed suicide directly - she had endured for so long, and finally waited for the man who controlled her life to die, but she chose to commit suicide...
The more I think about it, the more strange the girl's behavior seems to me. Perhaps, the author wants to pave the way for Luo Rui, so he can only use Jiang Ranran as cannon fodder?
But no matter what the reason, this villain boss seems to be a little different from what she thought.
The inconvenience of her fingers making the whole process of changing clothes extremely difficult. The silence made her feel insecure, and Jiang Ran whispered a thank you: "Um, Si Xu, thank you."
No matter what the reason was for this person to help her, she remembered clearly that she should be grateful for the favor.
Hearing the girl's words, Si Xu turned around to look at her - her back, which had just taken off the wet clothes, did not have a trace of excess fat, her skin was fair, and her lines were soft... Si Xu calmly shifted his gaze and turned his back again.
"I fell into the water and my clothes got wet..." Because I had no team contribution points, I couldn't exchange for new clothes.
"I know." The young man's lips curled up slightly. "I was the one who pulled you out of the water." After a pause, the man added, "It was just a matter of convenience."
"Hmm?" He was the one who pulled her out of the water? Wait, the last white figure she saw before she lost consciousness was Si Xu, not Xie Chengzhi?!
Jiang Ran was completely stunned.
So...it's actually like this? So it's actually like this!
No one ever told Jiang Ranran who saved her, so until the end, Jiang Ranran thought that her savior was Xie Chengzhi. She even misunderstood that Xie Chengzhi still had feelings for her, and she only wanted to repay Xie Chengzhi for saving her life.
In fact, that person was not Xie Chengzhi at all, not at all.
Yes, Luo Rui only wanted to get rid of Jiang Ranran, this big burden. How could she let Xie Chengzhi know that Jiang Ranran fell into the water? Moreover, even if Xie Chengzhi knew, he might not help to rescue her.
It was Si Xu who saved Jiang Ranran - the beginning of their marriage was destined the moment he jumped into the water and grabbed her wrist.
"You... saved me?"
"It just happened." He emphasized it again and said, "I saw your team was in a hurry to escape, and no one cared about you."
"Yeah." Jiang Ran sniffed and whispered, "Thank you."
The man accepted her thanks as a matter of course: "Yes."
"that……"
Jiang Ran was about to speak when the door of the room was pushed open. At the same time, a large men's coat fell on her head, covering her body before she could put on her clothes.
"Lori said you weren't in the room, you bastard..." The man's shouting voice suddenly stopped.
Jiang Ran wrapped Si Xu's coat tightly and looked at the person who was speaking.
The man kept pushing the door, his eyes wide open as round as copper bells, his mouth moving as he murmured in disbelief: "Si Xu, you're really good, you got together with this pretty girl without making any noise..."
Hearing his friend's blunt words, Si Xu frowned and said coldly, "Get out."
"Huh?" The man came to his senses, apologized twice, and quickly left the room. "I'm leaving now. You guys go on, go on. Just pretend I wasn't here, hahaha."
The conversation was interrupted, and Si Xu picked up the cigarette on the table: "You change your clothes, I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."
Jiang Ran: "Oh."
…
Outside the door, Gu Yunqing had indeed not left. Seeing Si Xu coming out, he immediately came forward with an auntie's smile: "Is that the girl?"
Si Xu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, asked vaguely, "What?"
"The one you saved by meddling in other people's business?" Gu Yunqing clicked his tongue twice. "This is the first time you've meddled in the life and death of someone so unimportant. Si Xu, are you interested in that girl?"
Si Xu frowned: "You like it?"
"Hey, hey, I'm telling you, you're not young anymore, it's time to consider keeping a woman by your side." Gu Yunqing said, "I think that girl is young and pretty. If you like her, keep her for now."
“…” He did not deny Gu Yunqing’s proposal, but he did not agree to it either.
"Hey, let me tell you, women are the cutest creatures in the world—especially when they're acting coquettish. I guarantee it's more interesting than your work in the lab..."
"Really?" Si Xu raised an eyebrow, "...Well, it's not impossible."
"Are you really interested in that girl? I remember she seemed to be in Luo Rui's team. Wait, I'll go get her for you."
Gu Yunqing said this, patted his shoulder again and went downstairs.
After smoking a cigarette, Si Xu returned to the room. Jiang Ran had already changed his clothes and was standing by the bed holding his coat, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Have you changed?"
"Yeah." The little girl, who had changed into new clothes, smiled contentedly and handed the coat back to him. "Si Xu, thank you so much."
"Yeah, I understand."
It's not "You're welcome", it's "I understand".
It was the first time Jiang Ran heard someone respond to someone else's gratitude in this way. He found it interesting: "Oh, by the way, my name is Jiang Ran, Jiang as in rivers, lakes and seas, and Ran as in dyeing."
"Well, I'm Si Xu." Even though the girl had clearly called him by name, he still introduced himself seriously, "I'm your savior."
Jiang Ran looked up at him, not understanding why he emphasized this sentence.
"So, from now on, your life..." the man paused and said seriously, "belongs to me."
These words sounded like a lover's vow of eternal love, but Jiang Ran knew that they were not tinged with any sensuality, but were driven purely by instinctive possessiveness—Si Xu was a possessive pervert. This was how Jiang Ranran described him in the novel.
Of course, Si Xu also said this to Jiang Ranran, and Jiang Ranran, who thought she loved Xie Chengzhi deeply, turned against him on the spot...
"Oh." Jiang Ran nodded without any objection, and consciously accepted the man's division of sovereignty. "This is as it should be. You saved me in the first place, so my life will belong to you from now on."
If it weren't for Si Xu, she would have died in the cold lake.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but secretly look at Si Xu again.
When she read the novel, she had a bad impression of this villain boss because the author focused on describing how Si Xu was capricious and killed innocent people in Luo Rui's eyes... But now that she had real contact with him, she couldn't help but start to wonder if Luo Rui's eyesight was bad.
He seems to be a very gentle person.
The girl's answer satisfied him greatly. Si Xu smiled slightly, her figure reflected in his light brown eyes. "If you go against what I said today, I will kill you."
Jiang Ran: “…”
