Chapter 42 I Want to Keep You as a Pet
The ward was very quiet.
It's been almost half an hour.
But no one spoke.
Jiang Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall.
The minute hand is almost at the agreed position.
He stood up and said softly, "I'm leaving."
Jiang Li faced out the window.
She didn't even bat an eyelash after hearing this.
Jiang Zhi strode towards the door.
There was a pause as his fingers touched the door handle.
He glanced back.
Jiang Li still maintained the same posture without any change.
Mingzhu was still at the hospital entrance, waiting for Jiang Zhi to get in the car.
The car slowly drove away from the hospital.
The scenery outside the window began to recede.
Mingzhu closed the magazine in her hand and suddenly said, "If it's so uncomfortable every time we meet, why do you still insist on seeing him?"
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment and then replied in a low voice: "He is my brother."
They are also his only relatives in this world now.
His voice is not very pleasant.
It seemed as if every word was squeezed out from deep in my chest.
There is always a sense of roughness in the low and hoarse voice.
Wrapped in years of fatigue.
Mingzhu tilted her head and looked at him.
Jiang Zhi's hair hung softly over his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes drooped slightly.
Even if it is cold and expressionless.
It also always gave her a sense of brokenness.
I felt a little soft-hearted for some reason.
It really looks like a homeless stray dog.
Obviously, he was already covered in bruises.
But he still stubbornly carried the food in his mouth to feed his weaker companions.
Even if in the end I was pushed away with disgust.
I just left quietly and curled up in a corner alone.
I didn't even dare to whimper too loudly.
"come over."
Mingzhu gestured to him like that again.
His finger gently tapped the empty seat next to him.
The tone was not an order, but it still did not allow him to refuse.
Jiang Zhi was pulled out of his own world by Mingzhu again.
He looked at Mingzhu in a daze and blinked slowly.
Apparently, his limited social experience made it difficult for him to understand her sudden request.
But the bodyguard not far away had already set his sights on him.
If he didn't sit over there, someone would come and help him soon.
There is a lot of space in the car.
But Jiang Zhi still needed to bend down slightly to sit next to Mingzhu.
Just as he sat down, that beautiful hand reached out to him again.
Jiang Zhi held his breath, anticipation rising in his heart uncontrollably.
His eyelids twitched barely perceptibly.
Jiang Zhi is still at an age where he is not able to protect himself.
The most terrifying thing is the hand raised like this.
Those palms always carry ruthless force.
Then the burning sensation fell on my face.
But now.
Jiang Zhi's body was still a little stiff, but he had already honestly remembered this warmth.
The hand just touched his face gently and slowly.
There is a slight cool touch on the fingertips.
Finally, it stopped at his earlobe and pinched it like teasing a puppy.
The expression on Jiang Zhi's face remained blank.
It seemed as if he was unaware of these touches.
But Mingzhu saw it clearly.
His originally pale earlobes turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the end, it was almost red and about to bleed.
A soft laugh escaped Mingzhu's throat.
But he was considerate enough not to expose him.
Jiang Zhi sat there stiffly.
His hands rested on his knees helplessly, not daring to move.
The car slowly drove into the Ming family manor.
Finally stopped in front of the main building.
Jiang Zhi looked through the car window at this place he had only heard of in rumors.
Every blade of grass and every tree here is a constant reminder to him.
This is a completely different world from his.
He doesn't deserve to be here.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come in."
Mingzhu had already walked up the stairs and looked back at Jiang Zhi.
But someone actually invited him so naturally.
Invite him into your world without any hesitation.
Jiang Zhi couldn't resist such temptation.
Mingzhu lay down on the soft sofa.
Not long after, a bodyguard came in carrying a large bag of medicine.
"Miss, this is Mr. Jiang's medicine."
"Let's put it there first." Mingzhu turned on the TV.
The living room suddenly became lively.
The servants brought fruit plates and snacks.
It is placed within Mingzhu's reach.
"Sit down, why are you standing there like an idiot?" Mingzhu glanced at Jiang Zhi who was still standing there, "Do you still want me to treat you?"
She could understand Jiang Zhi's discomfort.
This was probably the first time he had visited someone else's home in many years.
Jiang Zhi looked down at his clothes.
He looked at the sofa set that looked very expensive.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he shook his head.
Mingzhu narrowed her eyes and looked at him unkindly, drawling out her tone: "If you continue to be so stupid and don't listen to me... I will have someone pin you down on the sofa."
Jiang Zhi didn't sense any danger from this sentence.
Then he sat down obediently.
It's just that the posture is ridiculously stiff.
Half of his butt was hanging over the edge of the sofa, and his back was straight.
Mingzhu couldn't help laughing and pushed the fruit plate in front of him. "Relax, I won't eat you."
Mingzhu pointed to the medicine bag on the coffee table.
"That's your medicine. Remember to take it on time every day."
Jiang Zhi's pair of shiny black eyes stared at her steadily.
"Your room is on the second floor. The servant will take you there later." Mingzhu added again.
"Why?"
Jiang Zhi's voice was full of confusion, he didn't understand.
Why do you help him so much?
Why have you been giving him warmth without reservation?
Mingzhu held her chin up and smiled openly and beautifully: "I want to support you."
There was a rare seriousness in Jiang Zhi's eyes, and he was reluctant to look away from her smile.
"Why do you want to support me?"
He asked so sincerely.
Even to the point of being somewhat pious.
Mingzhu obviously didn't notice and answered as if it was a matter of course.
"I want to keep you as a pet."
Jiang Zhi's eyes were dark and unclear, mixed with a bit of complexity.
He didn't think it was humiliating for a person to be kept as a pet.
In Jiang Zhi's distorted cognition.
This can even be considered a kind of luck.
Jiang Zhi grew up without a father or a mother from that time on.
After the compensation is used up.
In addition to supporting himself.
It is also necessary to provide Jiang Li's monthly medical expenses, which are not cheap.
Most of the time, Jiang Zhi didn't even have the most basic dignity.
No one taught him what was right and what was wrong.
Even in school.
Jiang Zhi has a very good result.
He also failed to develop a normal sense of right and wrong.
On those hungry and cold nights.
He was shivering alone in the damp and cold quilt.
Jiang Zhi even envied the kittens and puppies that were picked up from the roadside and taken home.
This was the first time he felt warmth in all these years.
It actually came in this form.
After he had been through so much embarrassment.
Finally someone reached out to him.
Jiang Zhi could feel his heart, which had been beating slowly in his chest, involuntarily speeding up.
