After Cheng Ye agreed, 666 finally got the chance to teach them a lesson. If it had a face, it would definitely show a ferocious smile and stab their nerve centers without hesitation.
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and watched them suddenly hold their heads and scream. The burly men rolled on the ground and cried out in pain. It was very funny.
666 was very pleased with his masterpiece and even laughed out loud: "I told you to bully Big Leaf, but if the tiger doesn't show its might, you really think I, 666, am Hello Kitty!"
Cheng Ye wanted to laugh at its childish behavior, but it was short-lived. When the last person screamed in pain again and again, he immediately got up, and under the cover of 666, he quickly ran out of the room and went downstairs through the fire escape.
Just when Lei Xiu was leading a group of people to rush in, they saw a familiar figure rushing out of the club in a panic, looking back all the time, as if someone was chasing him from behind.
Lei Xiu hurried forward, grabbed Cheng Ye's arm and hugged him.
Cheng Ye was terribly frightened and still a little dazed. He subconsciously waved his hand to hit out, but his wrist was tightly grasped. Only then did he see Lei Xiu's face clearly. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little panicked. He stared at Lei Xiu in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly burst into tears. He grabbed Lei Xiu's clothes and sobbed, "Lei, Lei Xiu, I thought, I would never see you again!"
Lei Xiu wiped the tears from his face distressedly, and said with self-blame and guilt, "What nonsense are you talking about? I promised you that I would not let anything happen to you. No matter what happens, I will rescue you as soon as possible."
Hearing this and thinking of the thrilling experience just now, Cheng Ye looked upstairs in fear, covering his mouth and trying his best to control his emotions: "They, they are all level eight warriors, very, very powerful, I... I'm so scared..."
Lei Xiu patted his back and soothed him, "It's okay, it's okay now, Ye Zi, Ye Zi." Lei Xiu held his shoulders and pinched his chin to make him look straight at him. "Tell me, how did you get down here? Where are they?"
The guard team immediately went into alert. As long as Lei Xiu gave the order, he would lead his men to rush forward and would definitely tear the person who hurt Cheng Shao into pieces.
Cheng Ye gritted his teeth and said under Lei Xiu's encouraging gaze, "I... They thought I had no resistance, so they were defenseless against me. I used some potions and knocked them down. I'm still on the top floor, but... I can't quite remember which room I came out of."
The captain of the guards was shocked. He had seen the strength of those assassins. They were very powerful. Ordinary potions should have no effect on them. But - Young Master Cheng did escape alone.
It must be the potion he developed. No wonder Master Lei always said that Master Cheng was very talented in potions.
Seeing that Cheng Ye had escaped death, Lei Xiu no longer dared to let him recall what had just happened. He winked and asked the captain of the guard to handle it. He then bent down and picked up the man directly.
Cheng Ye was stunned. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that everyone's gaze was vaguely on them. All his fear turned into shyness. He hurriedly pushed her away: "You, what are you doing? Put me down first."
Lei Xiu hugged him and turned to walk towards the star car: "You are my fiancé, you have been so frightened, why can't I comfort you?"
A few words not only eased Cheng Ye's fear, but also made him laugh out loud. Seeing the familiar smile on his face again, Lei Xiu's heart finally settled down, and he subconsciously held the person in his arms tightly.
Not only was Cheng Ye afraid, he was even more afraid. Lei Xiu couldn't even imagine what he would do if anything happened to Ye Zi.
Lei Xiu stroked Cheng Ye's hair with his rough fingers and said softly, "Go to sleep, sleep for a while, and I'll take you home."
Hearing his kind words, Cheng Ye slowly felt the pajamas on top of her, closed her eyes and really fell asleep, without noticing the determination that flashed in Lei Xiu's eyes but was quickly suppressed.
The only people who dared to attack Cheng Ye at this time were none other than those few. No matter who they were, Lei Xiu would not let them off easily.
If you dare to challenge your bottom line, you must be prepared to bear it.
Lei Xiu thought that perhaps his plan should be brought forward.
After returning home, Lei Xiu didn't let Cheng Ye get off the bed. He carried him all the way to the bedroom. When he was about to put him on the bed, Cheng Ye gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and said embarrassedly, "I'm dirty. Let's take a shower first."
Lei Xiu lowered his head and looked at the gray marks on his face that had been rubbed from somewhere, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Cheng Ye subconsciously rubbed the corners of his mouth and chin with the back of his hand, thinking that he disliked his dirtiness, and hurriedly explained: "They drugged me, so I might have gotten some dirt on me. Don't look at me, I'll go wash it right now."
Lei Xiu's eyes were red. He felt that he was very scared and could not withstand such a shock anymore. He even had a shadow in his heart. Whenever Cheng Ye left his side, he would feel uneasy.
"Let me help you wash." Lei Xiu carried him to the bathroom. Just when Cheng Ye was stunned, he was already placed on the sink.
Lei Xiu was very tall. He was sitting on the high washbasin, and was shorter than Lei Xiu, so he had to look up to see him.
Cheng Ye was held in Lei Xiu's arms. Although the bathroom was not small, the enclosed space was filled with the strong smell of Lei Xiu's hormones, which made Cheng Ye's head hurt. He stepped back in panic, his back against the cold mirror, and was pulled back by Lei Xiu's arm. He called out "Lei Xiu" softly.
Lei Xiu said nothing, but just carefully unbuttoned his shirt.
Cheng Ye was dressed very casually today, and his shirt was very loose. During the struggle just now, the first and second buttons had fallen off somewhere. The loose shirt hung on his shoulders, revealing large areas of fair skin.
The place that Lei Xiu accidentally touched was like a fire being ignited, and it was incredibly hot.
Cheng Ye tried to dodge backwards, but the place was too small and he couldn't get away at all.
Lei Xiu, however, seemed to have completely forgotten about other things. He looked at the blue bruises on his body, his eyes dim and unclear. He gently stroked them with his fingers, "You must be scared. I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well. I'm really sorry."
Cheng Ye tilted her head and leaned forward in his arms, rubbing her face against his cold suit. She said in a light tone, "What's there to be sorry about? Who would have thought that I would run into such bad luck just because I came out to buy something? Besides, I have the ability to protect myself, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to support myself back on the Stone Mine Star. Besides, I'm safe and sound in front of you now. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Although what Cheng Ye said was indeed the truth, Lei Xiu still felt scared and thought that he had done something wrong.
666 also muttered in his heart that it was Lei Xiu's fault, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
Fortunately, there was no danger. Lei Xiu hugged Cheng Ye tightly and was unwilling to let go. Cheng Ye's shirt had been pulled down most of the way, and his bare skin was pressed against Lei Xiu. The atmosphere was a little weird, and more ambiguous. He moved uncomfortably, but Lei Xiu held him tighter. In the end, Cheng Ye could not help but said: "Lei Xiu, can you please go out first? I want to take a shower first."
She was dragged around by several big men and had unknown drugs applied to her. The smell on her body must be unpleasant, and I don't know what he meant.
Lei Xiu rubbed his chin against the top of his head: "I want to help you wash, is that okay?"
His first reaction was to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, Cheng Ye looked up and saw Lei Xiu's gloomy face. He felt that it would be cruel to let Lei Xiu go out now. Suppressing the unknown emotions churning in his heart, Cheng Ye nodded silently.
Originally, this should have been a very exciting and happy thing. The two of them had never been so frank with each other in such a long time. Even when they kissed, Ye Zi would push them away. But now, Ye Zi actually agreed to take a bath together...
But Lei Xiu couldn't be happy at all.
The scene just now flashed through his mind over and over again like a replay. He really couldn't imagine if Cheng Ye didn't have the potion on him, if he hadn't arrived in time, whether he could have successfully escaped. Even if he did escape, would he be caught again...
Lei Xiu was almost dying from all this torture.
Absentmindedly but very seriously, he helped Cheng Ye wipe the last drop of water off her body, wrapped her completely in the quilt, and hugged Cheng Ye, who was like a silkworm cocoon. Lei Xiu was unwilling to let go, and used his whole body to feel Cheng Ye's presence. The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Cheng Ye was not disturbed much by this incident. He was just frightened by Lei Xiu's reaction. In addition, he was tense during the day, so he relaxed and fell asleep quickly.
Lei Xiu lay on the bed, staring at Cheng Ye's sleeping face without blinking. He was not sleepy at all, and his mind was working at high speed.
This matter was definitely not as simple as a terrorist attack. Later, he received a communication from the captain of the guard, saying that all the survivors captured were assassins and had committed suicide.
Lei Xiu didn't think he could find out the mastermind from them. He just felt that they died too easily. Even if he cut those who hurt Cheng Ye into pieces or tore them apart, it would not be enough to relieve the hatred in Lei Xiu's heart. He even wanted to whip those people's corpses!
Lei Xiu narrowed his eyes to hide the ruthlessness that unconsciously appeared on his face, and when he looked at Cheng Ye again, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
It wasn't until the next day that Lei Xiu was able to calmly bring up the matter again.
But he was still angry. Lei Xiu organized his words and said, "It's me who has implicated you. My company has been very successful recently, launching many varieties of pharmaceuticals. It was only a matter of time before I became suspicious of you. I was too eager for quick success."
Cheng Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "I was the one who gave it to you. In this respect, we are mutually beneficial. If I were alone, I would still choose to sell potions to make a living. Without you, I would only die sooner. In this way, I am still alive because of you. I should be grateful to you, right?"
Lei Xiu frowned, thinking that this was not the case, but if Cheng Ye wanted to make excuses for himself, he could not refute it, because this was Cheng Ye's sincere intention.
Lei Xiu touched his pounding heart and continued to assure, "Don't worry, I will work hard to improve my combat effectiveness and strive to match your potion talent."
Cheng Ye was sitting on the bed, and Lei Xiu was sitting on a single sofa, with his arms spread out on the armrests, his legs crossed and his head slightly tilted back, his face full of fatigue. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well for several days, especially last night. He must have not slept all night.
Cheng Ye walked forward, his butt touching the corner of the sofa armrest, leaned over and kissed him on the chin, and was suddenly pulled by Lei Xiu, and his whole body fell into Lei Xiu's arms. After adjusting their posture, Cheng Ye whispered: "Although I come from a small place, I am also a reasonable person. I thought about this when I decided to be with you. Lei Xiu, I really like you, so don't say the three words "sorry" anymore. There is no need for such polite words between us, right?"
"Yeah." Lei Xiu nodded sullenly.
Cheng Ye scratched his hedgehog-like hair, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. How about the potion formula I gave you last time? Have you prepared it? Is it working?"
"It's okay. It's not as pure as your formula, but it can be mass-produced." Lei Xiu was in no mood to talk about business matters, but a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly suggested, "Ye Zi, would you mind if I revealed your identity as a pharmacist in our company?"
Cheng Ye tilted his head, blinking his innocent big eyes. His thick eyelashes scratched Lei Xiu's heart like a brush. He tickled Lei Xiu's chest with his fingertips and chuckled, "What's there to mind?"
"This is equivalent to exposing you to the public eye. All dangers will be concentrated on you. You have to know that the potions we launched a while ago were enough to make the entire planet..."
"I believe you. You will protect me, right, Lei Xiu?" Cheng Ye grinned at him with gratitude. "I know you are worried about me, but I am willing to be the bait. This has always been my dream. Why would I mind?"
Lei Xiu was deeply moved. He felt that meeting Cheng Ye and receiving her love was a blessing he had earned in his past and present lives. "Ye Zi, why are you so kind? What have I done to deserve you to be so..."
666 rolled his eyes and added in his mind, just because you look a lot like that unlucky Yang Sheng, you got everything that the other person didn’t get.
You don’t need to be virtuous or capable to get it.
In addition to the recipes, Cheng Ye also provides Lei Xiu with a lot of ready-made medicines every month, all of which are of medium to high quality.
None of them are for sale. They are used by Lei Xiu to recruit his own people. This is really good for Lei Xiu, much better than Yang Sheng.
666 Sometimes he wondered if Cheng Ye had taken all his guilt towards Yang Sheng out on Lei Xiu. He had wanted to remind him, but when he thought that this would make Daye happier and less depressed, he decided to just let him do it.
Lei Xiu was busy looking for the mastermind behind the kidnapping, and he also had to find time to handle the company's affairs. He was busier every day than before, and he never left the house, only showing up at night.
Cheng Ye had nothing to do, so he went to school, but he didn't attend classes. Instead, he studied new reagents with the tutor Lei Xiu found.
Yaden is an eighth-level pharmacist, but he has long stopped making money by preparing medicines for others. With the support of the planet, he has been wholeheartedly researching new medicines. He can be said to be a madman who has devoted himself to the pharmaceutical industry.
Before, Yaden had only heard of Cheng Ye's name and thought he was tied to Lei Xiu. But after they met for the first time, Cheng Ye took out a piece of potion data and said it was his latest idea, Yaden's impression of him changed completely.
He admired Cheng Ye's talent very much and praised him to his face more than once for his profound attainments at such a young age. It is true that there are talented people in every generation. They are all old and should have left the stage of history long ago.
Cheng Ye was so frightened that he trembled, thinking that the old man was reminding him in disguise that he was too arrogant.
After spending some time together, I realized that this is Yaden's habit. No matter how great his own achievements are, he always maintains a humble heart. As long as others have real abilities, he does not value their background, experience, or age. He only regards the other party as a confidant, or even a teacher.
Cheng Ye also liked him very much. Yaden had profound theoretical knowledge, and the two of them complemented each other very well. They often chatted or worked on experiments day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and were criticized by Lei Xiu several times.
If Yaden wasn't so old, Lei Xiu might have been so jealous that he wouldn't have given Cheng Ye and Yaden the chance to interact.
Before, Lei Xiu didn't want Cheng Ye to stand out too much, so their relationship had always been kept secret. But now, Cheng Ye can finally go to find Yaden openly, and even do experiments with Yaden in the planet laboratory. Just thinking about it makes him very excited.
666 teased him, "Do you like making potions?"
Cheng Ye shrugged: "It's always good to have one more skill! Look at the skills I trained in the apocalypse. I've used them several times in this world, haven't I?"
"With your mediocre skills, you still dare to say that?" 666 didn't discourage him, but instead gave him some encouragement: "That's right. If you have the opportunity to practice □□, even in the ordinary world, being a Chinese medicine practitioner would be great."
******
"He hasn't come back for several nights. What is Lei Xiu busy with?" Cheng Ye has been concentrating on the project he is working on with Yaden these two days and didn't notice anything. However, 666 was the first to notice that Lei Xiu was unusual.
In the past, I wanted to stick to Cheng Ye, but in the past two days, I haven’t even seen his shadow. No one would believe me if I said nothing was wrong.
Cheng Ye was exhausted after a long day. He took a hot bath and lay down on the bed, curled up like a cat. "I don't know. He must be very busy. Didn't I just give him a formula that can repair the soldiers' hidden injuries a few days ago? He might be planning to produce it in large quantities or use it on a small scale. What? Do you miss him?"
"...What do I want him to do!" 666 rolled his eyes. It was worried about Daye. He finally fell in love with someone, and he must not let him be sad again. After all, Lei Xiu had a criminal record.
Besides, Bai Jingqi is a real killer. He's shameless. Who can stand up to such a shameless bitch?!
Thinking about this, 666 secretly opened Cheng Ye's communication and said to Cheng Ye while editing the message: "Ask Lei Xiu, just think of it as caring about him."
Thinking of Lei Xiu's look like a big dog begging for petting, Cheng Ye chuckled and nodded: "Okay." But he was too lazy to move, so he let 666 do it.
Who knew that before the 666 message was edited, Cheng Ye was the first to receive a message related to Lei Xiu, but it was not sent by Lei Xiu, but by an unknown user.
666 squinted his eyes and clicked on it, which turned out to be a high-definition photo of Lei Xiu and Bai Jingqi having a candlelight dinner.
There was even a picture of Lei Xiu smiling gently at Bai Jingqi with his head tilted to the side. The next few pictures were all intimate pictures of the two of them. 666's voice was shaking with anger, and he shouted out loudly out of control: "He, he cheated, Ye Zi, why is Lei Xiu like this!"
666 was almost mad with anger, and he paid no attention to Cheng Ye. His expression gradually darkened, and there was even murderous intent in his eyes.
He sat up suddenly and patiently flipped through the photos from beginning to end. He noticed a photo that 666 had not seen. It was a photo of Lei Xiu and Bai Jingqi walking out of the restaurant. Bai Jingqi stumbled when he raised his foot and was supported by Lei Xiu. Cheng Ye clearly saw Bai Jingqi's hand on his slightly bulging belly, and the photo also clearly captured the panic on his face with subtle signs of fakery.
Cheng Ye's heart sank gradually. He didn't want to think like a nagging woman, but what flooded into his mind in an instant were far more than just those guesses, even... more.
666 noticed that Cheng Ye's breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and his cursing was getting quieter and quieter. Finally, he called out tentatively, "Ye Zi? Ye Zi?"
Cheng Ye didn't answer. A fierce look was on his face, a rare sight for 666. He was a little scared and quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Ye Zi. The fact that these photos are in your hands means someone arranged them. Don't be fooled."
Cheng Ye pursed her lips and asked, "But the photo is real, there's not a trace of photoshop."
666 was speechless.
It was indeed true. Even if Bai Jingqi hired someone to take the photos secretly, even if Bai Jingqi wanted to sow discord, the fact was that Lei Xiu was indeed with him. Not only did he have dinner with him, but he also talked to him and laughed with him. There was even a photo of them cuddling each other at the hotel door.
Looking at Bai Jingqi curled up in Lei Xiu's arms like a little bird, even if it was a borrowed position, the two of them were very close.
Normal relationships also require a safe distance, not to mention that Bai Jingqi was Lei Xiu's ex-boyfriend, the person he loved so deeply. Didn't Lei Xiu think about Cheng Ye's feelings when he met him? Wasn't he afraid that Cheng Ye would misunderstand and create a rift?
It’s not that Lei Xiu couldn’t think of these things, he just... thought of them like in the original material, but deep down he felt that Cheng Ye’s feelings could not outweigh his lingering feelings for Bai Jingqi.
After a long silence, Cheng Ye chuckled, and the struggle in his eyes disappeared. He suddenly raised his hand and threw the communicator directly at the opposite wall. The communicator was of very good quality and was not broken. It just fell to the ground with a heavy groan, as if it was in pain.
Cheng Ye didn't even look at him, he just covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes.
666 was extremely anxious, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to follow the traces in the photo overnight to find out the other party's identity. It turned out to be Bai Jingqi's doing, and she also found the place where the two had "date".
There are only pictures, no sound.
In the picture, Lei Xiu kept his head down the whole time, and when he looked up occasionally, only a gentle expression could be seen on his face, without any trace of the coldness he had shown towards Bai Jingqi before. So 666 didn't dare to show it to Cheng Ye at all, and didn't even dare to mention the names of Lei Xiu and Bai Jingqi in front of Cheng Ye.
But Bai Jingqi seemed determined to force Cheng Ye to show up. He sent these half-truth photos to Cheng Ye for two or three nights in a row, and was almost sending a photo of the two of them in bed.
666 wanted to block him, but Cheng Ye would open it every night to read, and even review the lessons from the previous two days. He worked harder and more seriously than when he was preparing for the Royal Academy entrance exam. He was simply obsessed, so 666 didn't dare to take any action on his own.
It even suspected that Daye was mentally twisted, but it didn't dare to say it out loud.
I could only look at Daye's face trying to be calm and strong every night, feeling uneasy.
Sometimes, even trying to play some of his favorite cartoons couldn't attract Daye's attention. 666 was like an ant on the hot pan, and his database was about to burn out.
I’m just short of contacting Lei Xiu directly.
But he also felt that he must do it in the name of Daye. If it was really Lei Xiu's fault, wouldn't they have lost their momentum first? So he had to learn from Daye and endure it secretly.
