Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Looking Back
"The president is back!!!"
This bombshell news caused a stir in the Paradise Guild.
The alarm had been lifted long ago. Unlike the restless and anxiously awaited members of the Paradise Guild, the Anle District had returned to its former life.
There were only a number of psychic troops stationed there to carry out "post-disaster" cleanup work, for example, sweeping away the remaining human limbs and organs in the area that might cause panic among residents.
There is something in the wind, it goes without saying.
But since the previously reported disaster was a tornado, no one thought about it elsewhere.
Tornadoes are extremely destructive and can even blow houses off the ground. It is common for them to kill several people.
Moreover, it was precisely because of the bloody negative example of not heeding the guild's alarm that the surviving residents were doubly grateful for having survived the disaster.
It’s always better to be obedient.
The guild's credibility in the comfort zone of the survivor shelter has reached a new level.
Unfortunately, human joys and sorrows are not shared.
The price of being obedient is already before her.
Her cat is gone.
-
Lu Suye stepped into the door of the guild hall.
Everyone gathered around excitedly, some even wanting to help the president who had almost returned from hell. However, the thing he was holding tightly in his hand also attracted everyone's attention.
For a moment, everyone held their breath.
Is it "brave"?
It was a large black bag, filled with heavy objects.
I don’t know what it is.
...a living cat?
But it doesn't look like a living thing at all.
The Municipal Guild Hall is as quiet as a library.
Sudden.
“Smells so good!”
This is the smell of cooked meat!
A guild member who was so hungry that he was stunned blurted out with green eyes.
This extremely inappropriate exclamation instantly attracted the horrified gazes of the people around him.
Shut up, idiot, and don't kill them all!
But, in fact, we can’t blame the hungry guy for blurting out the idea. After a busy day, everyone was exhausted and had no time to eat.
Moreover, he was not the only one who smelled this scent.
It smells really good.
"Is this roast chicken or roast duck..."
He rummaged through the big bag like a possessed man, and out of the bag fell lumps of black stuff that looked as if it had been burnt by a fire.
However, judging from its remaining appearance, "hungry goods" guess was quite accurate.
Lu Suye brought back some of the "sacrifices" he found.
Not returning empty-handed.
"Wow..." Jiang Qian covered her mouth and wanted to cry again.
"Let me rest for a while,"
Seeing Jiang Xi crying, Lu Suye's blood rushed to his head, "I'll go find—"
This time, he didn't stay handsome for three seconds.
Boom——
He suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.
Just take care of yourself first.
-
"President Lu, do you want to die in the line of duty?"
A miracle doctor is a miracle doctor. A group of people with special abilities were in a panic, but they couldn't wake up Lu Suye. Then the director of Kule Hospital came and gave Lu Suye a random injection, and Lu Suye woke up.
Of course, the first words he heard after waking up were the sarcasm from his own brother.
"It doesn't matter if I die," Lu Suxing leisurely wiped the silver needle as long as his arm, "I will help you take good care of your sister-in-law."
Silence, dead silence.
“…”
The guild members who were nervously surrounding Lu Suye and whining just now now all wished they could turn into invisible people immediately.
Who are they and where are they? They shouldn't be in the house, they should be on the roof!
When Lu Suye sat up from the hospital bed, he realized that there were so many people surrounding him.
Naturally, they also watched him faint from exhaustion...
So weak.jpg
As the leader of a meeting, I really feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm fine." Lu Suye's face was cold.
Jiang Xi sat on the chair next to him, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
Although she didn't say anything, Lu Suye could tell that she actually cared about him...
As long as he doesn't only have eyes for her cat, then his efforts are worth it!
as well as--
"I don't need your care," the lame man threw away his crutches as his leg was healed.
Lu Suye looked at Lu Suxing. He was obviously still upset about the kid's teasing. In his mind, no one could make fun of Jiang Xi, not even his brother.
"I can take care of my woman myself, no one else needs to worry about her."
stingy person.
"oh."
Lu Suxing didn't take it seriously at all. Since he was already here, he said, "Take off your clothes. I'll examine you."
He had to take a good look. How many wounds would his brother have on his body after running into the poisonous cloud of Bai Lan like a madman?
If he were bitten by a zombie, he wouldn't—
It was shocking. The red marks of all sizes on the chest and back were almost connected into a web.
What kind of inhuman abuse has this person suffered?
Everyone stared at Lu Suye's naked upper body in amazement...
Are there such sharp branches in the wind? And the president's clothes don't seem to be torn, what happened?
Wait, that's not right.
This is a scratch!
To be more precise, it was the marks left by a woman's fingernails.
The nails cannot scratch too deep and will not leave scars, but only a thin layer of blood scab will be attached to the surface.
However, new and old injuries are piled up layer by layer, densely packed, and it is very lively.
Jiang Xi: “…”
People present: "0_0"
Almost everyone was in an awkward situation that could not be worse.
Only Lu Suxing...
The doctor's compassion made the already awkward atmosphere even more awkward.
"Where are the pants?"
His brother only took off his shirt.
I told you it was an inspection, so of course you had to take off all your clothes.
Jiang Xi's face turned red and white. She couldn't stay any longer, so she left without any regrets.
Lu Suye watched her back as she disappeared at the door.
I felt a sense of loss.
Those who shouldn't have left have left...
Those who should leave... are all the guild members who "care" about him!
What are you waiting to see?
"Get out!"
-
Lu Suye will definitely not be able to leave the hospital today.
So Jiang Xi went back by herself.
At the hospital gate, she was stopped by the Brotherhood Gang because they were afraid that something might happen to her if she was alone.
After all, even though the boss tried so hard, he couldn't save the cat.
Everyone saw Lu Suye's remedial measures, and Jiang Qian was not the kind of person who was unreasonable.
She said she was fine, and then went home alone.
She always thought she was strong enough, but the moment she opened the door, before her shoes even stepped on the red mat in the entrance hall, her tears fell.
It wasn't just the floor mat that Jiang Yongzhuang always lay on, but also the cat litter box next to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, the balls of wool scattered on the ground, and even the emerald green leaves in the small garden that were clearly marked by a row of small teeth...all of them would pull at her heart, causing it to twitch violently.
Even though she could tolerate all this, she broke down again when she saw a few cat hairs stuck on her pajamas that she had not yet washed while taking a shower.
It will sleep in your arms.
The scent of Jiang Yongzhuang is everywhere in this house.
When leaving during the day, there is one person and one cat, and when returning at night, there is only one person.
And she will always be alone.
But what can she do?
From the beginning to the end, the only person she should blame, besides that bastard who "lied the cat", is herself.
It was she who personally put the cat into the airline box, and it was also she who indirectly caused this disaster.
Jiang Xi hugged the quilt and sobbed silently.
She recalled the scene when she first met Jiang Yongzhuang, it was a morning after a rainstorm.
At that time, she had just had a big fight with her family and ran away from home, and had just settled down.
Suddenly, a sharp and loud cat meow was heard downstairs of the newly rented apartment.
Attracted by the sound, Jiang Qian bent down and found that the scream was coming from under a car.
I went to a nearby pet store and bought some cans, but when I came back, the cat stopped crying.
Jiang Xi originally thought that the kitten had run away, but it turned out that her leg felt itchy and the kitten was shaking its head around the can.
It was so small that she could hold it in one hand. It was obvious that it had just been born.
A mother cat generally will not abandon her underage children unless she no longer has the ability to protect them.
Such a fragile and young life, without the ability to hunt, stayed alone in an apartment complex with stray dogs. Jiang Ting didn't know how it would survive.
So, without any experience in raising cats, she resolutely brought this poor little stray cat home.
After returning home, I took a closer look and found that it was as thin as a layer of skin covering bones, but when drinking goat milk, it put in all its strength, drinking quickly and fiercely until its belly bulged into a ball.
The tenacious survival instinct and the desire to live have never appeared so concretely in front of Jiang Xi.
So she gave it a human name, Yongzhuang, hoping that it would be brave and strong in the future.
As they spent time together day and night, they gradually became familiar with each other. In the following days, this kitten, which was reborn because of Jiang Xi's momentary pity, also showed amazing intelligence. In other words, it was quite human-like.
Humans all like well-behaved kittens that understand human nature. Jiang Xi found herself becoming more and more dependent on it.
Because she had a quarrel with her family and didn't want them to find her, she wanted to rely on her own efforts, wait until she became a hit, and slap the faces of her family members who opposed her dream of acting and did not understand her career, and make them convinced of her!
Since this is the case, family members cannot be contacted, and old friends naturally will not be contacted either, so as to prevent them from "leaking information".
The days of dormancy are always dark and lonely, but when she thinks of the dazzling light of success, Jiang Ying feels that everything is worth it.
Fortunately, she is not completely alone, she has a kitten.
In the more than one year since she picked up Jiang Yongzhuang, she has long regarded him as her own family. He is an indispensable part of her life and her most important friend.
Although, this friend's breed is a cat.
Later, she took it abroad to attend a very important announcement.
After the car passed the cross-sea bridge shrouded in thick fog, the wheel of fate slowly turned.
It took her a long time to accept this reality.
In this world, she is an ordinary person without any special abilities, and is powerless, making her the weakest among ordinary people.
She must rely on the strong to survive.
But to her kitten, she is not a weakling.
She is its master and the god who can protect it.
She was so powerful that she could easily create food and water. Moreover, her embrace was so soft and warm that it reminded it of the few happy memories of sleeping soundly on its mother's belly.
The weak are not born willing to be weak and become dodders that have to rely on others to survive.
When she has enough ability, Jiang Ying also wants to become someone else's support.
She is her kitten's support, and her kitten only has her.
She thought she could protect her kitten in this cruel apocalypse.
Just like those men who were crazy about her body and tried their best to protect her.
Lu Suye's actions were witnessed by everyone in the guild.
She should be touched before she beat him into being a jerk who only had lust for her but no love for her.
Therefore, even though Lu Suye was seriously injured and stayed in the hospital for three days, Jiang Qian only thought that he did this just to make her behave.
Always be well behaved.
When he needed her—
A strong and powerful arm passed through her waist, and a big, hot hand was placed on her lower abdomen.
The man recovered quickly.
Jiang Qian whispered, "I'm so sad...I miss Zhuangzhuang."
There's no need to practice holding back tears and sobs.
If a man still only cares about himself at this time, he is really no different from an animal.
Another night of rejection.
Lu Suye said nothing.
Silently, a pillow disappeared from the bed.
He couldn't just lie in the same bed with Jiang Xi, so he had to sleep on the sofa.
The cat’s things in the villa have been almost cleaned up.
It's like there's never been a cat living here.
She was afraid that she would be sad if she saw it.
However, Jiang Qian still kept the clothes with Jiang Yongzhuang's head painted on them as a souvenir.
She could never forget the day when Jiang Yongzhuang jumped onto her clothes, staring at the patterns with his eyes wide open for a long time.
"Meow?" After a long time, it tilted its head and looked at its owner in surprise.
(Is that me?!)
One of my clothing designs from the "Cat Friends" series occupies a large proportion in the president's wife's wardrobe for all four seasons. When Chen Shanshan learned that the kitten that happily jumped and parkoured on the tables and cabinets every time she came was gone, the batch of cute cat autumn outerwear and inner home clothes that were customized for Jiang Xi in advance had already been completed.
She really didn't dare to take it out.
But Jiang Xi had sharp eyes and saw the items at the bottom.
"Give it to me." It's all done.
Chen Shanshan handed the clothes to Jiang Xi nervously.
The corners of Jiang Xi's mouth slightly raised,
"I like it very much. Thank you."
I sat on the sofa and looked at the clothes for a long time.
Jiang Xi suddenly understood something.
It turned out that she had been wrong all along.
She thought she had enough power to become a god who protected her kitten in this world.
In fact, her power of protection still needs to be obtained through relying on others...
She does not produce the power of protection, she is just the carrier of the "power of protection".
Dangerous and fragile.
But clearly, there was once an opportunity for change right in front of her, but she did not cherish it.
Everything has a price.
-
"Wow?"
The man in front of her was extremely surprised by her arrival.
"I'm surprised you came to see me again."
"I thought we wouldn't have another chance to meet alone?"
But his expression was completely different.
He was so calm, as if saying, I know.
You will come sooner or later.
