Chapter 549 Physical Examination
He Rui picked up a two-pound can of tomatoes with some rust on it and looked at it eagerly.
"Want to eat?" Ji Changqing looked inside the can for a moment and immediately frowned.
"I'm afraid this can has gone bad." He knocked on the can with his knuckles. "The temperature is too high and it's not stored properly." He could see suspicious flocs floating on the surface of the soup.
He Rui suddenly lost his temper and his shoulders slumped.
He suddenly realized an even more depressing fact - this was probably not a deliberate attempt to intimidate them by giving them spoiled food.
Given Brother Ji's status and popularity in the shelter, the food he is given should be better than what is available outside.
So... in this apocalyptic world where crops are difficult to grow in large quantities, food is so scarce... even shelters can only provide spoiled reserve food.
He Rui silently imagined a cruel scene: survivors forced to eat expired and spoiled food just to survive another day on this land, hoping to hold on until the disaster was over. His Adam's apple rolled, and he suddenly felt the can in his hand was too heavy to hold.
"But if we don't consume some...will people find out that something is wrong?" He Rui asked in a low voice with mixed feelings.
"Drink this first to fill you up." Ji Changqing brought out a bowl of steaming tomato soup from the field.
He Rui widened his eyes and almost dropped the can in his hand, "Where did you get this from?" He looked at the porcelain bowl in Ji Changqing's hand, and the hot tomato soup was emitting an enticing aroma.
"See if you want to drink it, it's freshly brewed."
He Rui was so touched that he put the can aside and burrowed into Ji Changqing's arms, "You are so nice~"
He buried his face in the crook of the man's neck and rubbed it, his voice muffled and coquettish, "It's too fast! It's like the Flash!"
The other party chuckled, and He Rui looked up to meet his brother's meaningful gaze. "Am I fast or not..." The man's slender fingers slowly stroked the back of his neck. "Rui Rui knows best, doesn't he?"
"Of course!" He Rui was completely unaware of the ambiguity and teasing in the words. He took the soup and was already on the verge of starving, so he picked up the bowl and started drinking it in big gulps.
The warm soup passes through the throat, and the unique sour taste of tomatoes explodes on the taste buds.
He Rui's facial features were swirling with sourness, "It's sour, but it still tastes good."
But after drinking it, it was as if my appetite was whetted and I became even hungrier.
Ji Changqing couldn't help laughing and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his face. "It doesn't taste good, but you drank it all? You didn't even leave some for me."
"I, I thought this bowl was for me... I'm sorry..." He Rui's face suddenly turned red to his ears, and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Before he finished speaking, Ji Changqing had already lifted his chin and kissed him deeply. The kiss was long and gentle, and when it ended, He Rui's breathing was a little disordered.
"It's really sour..." Ji Changqing chuckled and brushed the corner of his lips with her thumb, "Not as sweet as you."
He Rui blushed and pursed his lips, feeling that all the blood in his body was rushing to his face: "Don't tease me all the time..."
...
As a young man full of vigor and vitality, he really couldn't stand his boyfriend's constant teasing.
What troubled him even more was that he could clearly sense those unfamiliar mental powers pressing against the perimeter of his mental defenses. They seemed to be taking turns surrounding the house.
When Ji Changqing hinted again, He Rui's lingering state became even more uncomfortable.
He really wanted to respond desperately, but the mental power that followed him like a shadow and tried to spy on him made He Rui feel uneasy. It was impossible for him to do anything private in this state.
In the end, I could only take the initiative to kiss Brother Ji and temporarily use the kiss to soothe my restless lover.
...
The next morning, the familiar knock on the door sounded again.
The same pair came this time, but without the leader. The doctor pushed his glasses and looked at Ji Changqing with excitement. "Hello, I'm here to draw blood."
Wen Ran, who was standing aside, crossed his arms and fixed his eyes on He Rui: "I will protect your safety."
Ji Changqing sneered, the mockery in his eyes not concealed at all.
This woman didn't even bother to act and just said she was protecting He Rui.
He Rui frowned in confusion. "Me? I don't need protection." Without waiting for the girl to answer, he turned to the doctor and said, "Don't waste your energy. We tried it in other shelters last time, and the needle couldn't even penetrate my brother Ji's skin."
The doctor pushed his glasses awkwardly. "Uh... then I'd like to ask you two to come with me to the laboratory for a full physical examination so that Mr. Ji can recover his abilities."
He Rui felt his heartbeat pounding. He couldn't understand why these people couldn't understand rejection. Although they were deliberately refusing to cooperate, trying to test his limits, this constant harassment still made him irritated.
Ji Changqing noticed his mood, and the two exchanged glances. He Rui saw the other party nod imperceptibly and immediately understood.
"Okay." He Rui sighed in a compromising manner, "Then we'll go to the research institute with you."
He felt that the physical examination for two people mentioned by the other party was just a gift for him. After all, what kind of physical examination did he need?
Sure enough, after arriving there, He Rui was indeed forgotten. The people from the research institute surrounded Ji Changqing and began a tedious physical examination.
