Ji Zheng touched her hand and found it covered in blood. She cried out in a panic, "Chu Ling, Chu Ling..."
She shouted with all her might, but the sound was very faint. She wondered if Chu Ling heard her.
The intense pain brought Chu Ling back to his senses, and he heard it.
He heard the young lady call his name and saw the tears on her face.
The young lady was crying for him, and Chu Ling was extremely anxious. "Young lady, I'm fine, don't cry..."
Ji Zheng followed the sound and slowly approached, then saw the fruit knife in his hand.
"Knife, blood, so much blood..."
The knife was covered in blood, and she instantly understood that Chu Ling had stabbed her without hesitation in order to suppress his instincts.
The strong smell of blood filled the room, and Ji Zheng felt much better about the heat inside her body.
The taste of blood seemed to alleviate desire; Ji Zheng understood this, and so did Chu Ling.
However, the calm that had just passed did not last long, and waves of heat surged into my heart again.
Ji Zheng's head was throbbing.
It's so uncomfortable, so painful.
Chu Ling was also in a lot of pain.
He seemed to understand; only fresh blood could suppress what was inside his body.
"Young Miss, don't come near me!"
Ji Zheng looked up and sensed what he wanted to do.
She stammered, "No, you mustn't..."
"Don't hurt yourself," she said the rest of her words, and the smell of blood in the air grew stronger.
Chu Ling stabbed himself again, and sticky blood covered the entire ground.
He lost his parents at a young age, and his uncles and aunts seized his family's property and sent him to an orphanage.
The orphanage was a small society. Little Chu Ling was thin and short, and was always bullied. She often didn't know where her next meal would come from.
At seven years old, he was less than a meter tall, much shorter than other children his age.
At that time, the Ji family came to the orphanage, wanting to select some strong and tall children.
Xiao Chuling is short and small, so naturally she doesn't make the list.
After the headmistress mentioned this, all the children in the orphanage went to the front yard, hoping to be chosen by the Ji family.
Only Xiao Chuling hid in the corner, hugging a cold steamed bun, feeling very happy.
With those who bullied him gone, he could finally eat a whole steamed bun, which was the greatest happiness for Xiao Chuling.
Why don't you go to the front of the line?
A beautifully dressed, elegant young woman stood before him. Xiao Chuling shrank back in fear, his voice trembling.
"I'm not going... Don't take my cornbread."
The girl glanced at him and left.
After Xiao Chuling finished eating that cornbread, she was inexplicably chosen by the Ji family.
From then on, he no longer had to eat hard cornbread, and he had a warm bed and delicious meals every day.
He thanked the Ji family, and even more so the eldest daughter.
The young lady had been kidnapped before, and the Ji family wanted to choose a bodyguard for her.
Chu Ling studied desperately, defeated more than fifty people, and finally became the young lady's bodyguard, protecting her safety.
At this moment, Chu Ling felt extremely guilty.
He's so useless; he's let the young lady get into such a predicament.
Chu Ling desperately suppressed the desires within him and stabbed himself again.
Ji Zheng's vision was filled with blood, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She shouted with all her might, "Chu Ling, I order you to stop!"
Chu Ling didn't dare to look at her.
This was the first and perhaps the last time he disobeyed the young lady's orders.
He wouldn't allow anyone else to hurt the young lady, and he certainly wouldn't allow himself to hurt her.
Han Meiyue's scheme will never succeed. Even if it costs him his life, he will protect the young lady.
...
In the first-floor meeting room, Ji Heng suddenly felt extremely flustered. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks. What was going on?
A thought popped into his head: it seemed like he hadn't seen his older sister in a long time.
Ji Heng searched everywhere, "Where's my sister? Have you seen her?"
Most people shook their heads, but one waiter said, "I saw the young lady help the young lady of the Han family to the second floor."
"Thank you." Ji Heng quickly ran upstairs, but after taking only two steps, he bumped into a group of men and women holding wine glasses.
Han Meiyue was among them, beaming. "Miss Ji has prepared a surprise on the second floor. She asked me to invite everyone up to see it."
She winked playfully, "I definitely won't let you down~"
Ji Heng felt something was off; his older sister hadn't mentioned any surprise to him.
His older sister's personality is the complete opposite of his. He does whatever he wants, while his older sister is used to making plans, especially for such an important birthday banquet. She won't suddenly do anything surprising.
Ji Heng pushed his way through the crowd and questioned, "Han Meiyue, how come I didn't hear that my sister prepared a surprise?"
Han Meiyue remained completely calm.
Ji Zheng's silly younger brother is simple-minded and very easy to fool.
Han Meiyue took out the prepared chat history, "Young Master Ji, look, Ji Zheng personally instructed us to do this, I didn't overstep my bounds."
"Young Master Ji is busy with his studies, so you don't need to worry about these small matters. Leave them to me."
Ji Heng looked at it carefully and it was indeed his sister's profile picture, but for some reason he still felt something was off.
Han Meiyue chuckled and teased, "I'm Ji Zheng's best friend, doesn't Young Master Ji trust me?"
The crowd echoed his sentiments.
"Miss Han and Miss Ji were roommates in college. They were inseparable and had an extremely good relationship."
"Yes, yes, my child knows about this too."
"But I heard that they broke up a long time ago because of Young Master He..."
A hint of hatred flashed in Han Meiyue's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her expression. "Haha, everyone is joking. I went abroad before, so I had less contact with Ji Zheng, but our friendship remains unchanged."
