Jiang Zheyu felt he had discovered something.
The original owner sought a substitute on the StarNet because she couldn't get it in reality.
Jiang Zheyu: ...
"Dr. Li, please take a look at my arm." Jiang Zheyu sat down on the examination stool next to her. She was too lazy to think too much. If she didn't get treatment soon, would her arm be ruined?
Li Xingbai put down his pen and then turned to look at Jiang Zheyu.
He initially thought the female was deliberately trying to cause him trouble because she was sick out of nowhere. He happened to be on the night shift today, and he assumed she had timed her visit perfectly.
Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw that snow-white arm covered in a large patch of blood.
He paused slightly. In the past, no matter how small the injury, the girl would have started crying and making a scene. But now, with such a serious abrasion, the girl was just pale, looking at him absentmindedly.
In fact, Jiang Zheyu was not in a trance, but rather felt utterly hopeless because of his ugly face. He became numb and had a sense of hopelessness.
Seeing Jiang Zheyu's condition, Li Xingbai immediately sensed that the situation was quite serious. He loosely grasped Jiang Zheyu's injured wrist, looked at the abrasions on her arm for a while, and then his clear silver eyes turned to Jiang Zheyu. His voice was cold: "Miss Jiang, if you don't want to leave scars from these abrasions on your arm, you'll have to go into the treatment ward."
Jiang Zheyu nodded blankly: "Thank you, Dr. Li. I don't want to have any scars."
Not only is the cost of a single treatment in the treatment chamber very high, but its maintenance costs are even higher, amounting to tens of millions of Star Coins per year.
Ordinary male orcs do not usually receive treatment in the treatment chamber, but because Jiang Zheyu is female, she was able to go in for treatment to avoid scarring her arm.
Besides, once she enters the treatment chamber and the laser treatment is applied, her abrasions will heal, and she doesn't want to endure the painful recovery process.
Jiang Zheyu never shortchanges himself.
An hour later, Jiang Zheyu came out of the treatment chamber.
She stared in surprise at her fair, smooth, and flawless arms. Although she already knew about this effect, she was still somewhat surprised to see it with her own eyes.
“Miss Jiang, your injury has healed. After returning home, you should eat light food and avoid nutritional supplements for now. I will personally come to check on you in three days.” Dr. Li stood beside her, holding a medical record book documenting Jiang Zheyu’s condition. His slender fingers gripped a pen and kept writing without ever looking up. “I have already contacted your only beast husband, Mr. Su, who is waiting outside. If you have nothing else to do, Miss Jiang, please go out. Don’t keep Mr. Su waiting.”
Dr. Li, with an air of impartiality and fairness, uttered a long speech without taking a breath.
Jiang Zheyu slowly got up from the bed in the nutrient tank. She put on her shoes and said to Dr. Li as she walked out, "Dr. Li, I'll be going now."
Li Xingbai simply nodded: "Yes, Miss Jiang, take care."
Jiang Zheyu then turned and left.
Li Xingbai watched Jiang Zheyu's departing figure and realized that the girl really didn't come back.
He was puzzled by Jiang Zheyu's attitude today. Surprisingly, Jiang Zheyu didn't bother him anymore. Regardless of what the other party was thinking, he felt much relieved that he wasn't bothered today.
Li Xingbai continued to attend to his own affairs.
Inside the hovering spaceship, Jiang Zheyu and Su Yan sat facing each other, neither of them speaking.
Jiang Zheyu didn't intend to speak. She planned to remain a fake couple with Su Yan until he got together with the female lead, and then she would let him leave.
Su Yan looked at Jiang Zheyu's face covered in makeup, and saw that Jiang Zheyu's beautiful tea-colored eyes were quietly half-closed.
He didn't seem to have really seen her before.
Even though her face was covered in makeup, it couldn't hide the extraordinary beauty beneath.
He had seen her without makeup.
The first time, it was because of an ID photo on a matching profile.
The ID photo showed the girl with no makeup, staring blankly at the camera.
Su Yan looked at a photo and shamefully felt a surge of attraction. She was so beautiful, and he wanted to have her.
Therefore, a C-level female cannot be matched with an S+++ level male orc.
However, Su Yan forced the two people to be matched.
Unfortunately, the result was quite different from his expectations.
He also found out today that she went to a nightclub with that wicked woman again. He had thought they could change their relationship...
Unexpectedly, it seems she's going to revert to her old ways.
Jiang Zheyu was nervous, quite nervous.
Because she felt the man's gaze was constantly on her.
Why is he staring at her? Su Yan has seen her bizarre makeup before, so why is he staring at her now?
"My lady, your injuries have healed. Is there anything else bothering you?" Su Yan asked in a deep voice.
The man was quite tall, and even sitting opposite Jiang Zheyu, he still occupied most of the space.
Jiang Zheyu felt that the space had become smaller, as if he was enveloped by the other person's aura.
Hearing Su Yan's question.
She slowly raised her head and said, "Much better."
"What happened today?" Su Yan, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, stood with his legs open and his hands clasped in front of him, looking composed and willing to listen. "Would the mistress mind telling me?"
Jiang Zheyu: ...
What's wrong with Su Yan today? Didn't he dislike the original owner of this body a lot?
Why is he talking so much today? And when has he ever cared about the original owner of this body?
Normally, shouldn't he have taken her home without saying a word?
They don't even bother to ask how I am, let alone show concern.
The original owner and he were like strangers living together.
Aside from the whip relationship, there doesn't seem to be any other connection.
"It's nothing." Jiang Zheyu subconsciously didn't want to have too much contact with Su Yan, who might be the female lead's future man.
After saying that, she lowered her head again.
Su Yan once again realized Jiang Zheyu's estrangement from him.
“My lady, if you harbor resentment towards me for losing control of my beast form last time, you can punish me as before.” Su Yan placed one hand on the cushion next to Jiang Zheyu’s leg, leaning slightly closer to her, his red eyes looking at her calmly and coldly, “Instead of ignoring me like this, I would misunderstand that my lady no longer wants me.”
Jiang Zheyu's lips moved slightly, feeling utterly bewildered.
Isn't her indifference to him exactly what he wanted?
Why is she acting like she's neglecting him?
Could he be a masochist?
“I was genuinely terrified when you went out of control in your beast form last time,” Jiang Zheyu explained, “So, I’ve decided I won’t hit you anymore. From now on, we’ll…”
Let's treat each other like strangers. Once we each find someone we like, let's part ways amicably.
However, Jiang Zheyu was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Like the couples from ancient Earth in novels, how do you get along?" Su Yan continued slowly.
