Chapter 24
Jiang Xiangyang was actually quite nervous when he asked this question. After all, Shang Yi's words and actions revealed that he was eager to leave. At this time, as a companion, he chose to run around. If something unexpected happened, it might cause some unnecessary trouble to the other party.
But he didn't know how many days he would stay here. He couldn't stay in the house for days, let alone on this planet that was similar to the ancient Earth.
So my suggestion shouldn't be too much, right?
Jiang Xiangyang looked at Shang Yi with his eyes blinking. He didn't even realize that the anticipation in his eyes had turned into infinite desire, as if it could emit starlight.
Shang Yi didn't ask the reason, just glanced at Jiang Xiangyang, then stood up and walked out, his voice light: "Follow me." As soon as he turned around, the black giant beast had leaped a few steps forward and stuck to his hand.
Jiang Xiangyang didn't understand what was going on and quickly followed.
"Yangyang, what happened to you just now?" Little Ball asked worriedly, referring to the strange look Jiang Xiangyang had shown in front of Shang Yi. "Your breathing stopped for a full thirteen seconds."
Jiang Xiangyang subconsciously looked ahead and saw the man with his back to him, who did not stop walking and seemed unaware of the conversation behind him.
He quietly distanced himself and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you feel it just now?"
The little ball was even more surprised: "What did you feel?"
Jiang Xiangyang paused and said nothing more.
The little ball had a bad feeling and landed on Jiang Xiangyang's shoulder. When it raised its paw, it touched Jiang Xiangyang's neck, and its paw was covered with cold sweat.
The little ball suddenly looked at Shang Yi: "Yangyang's abnormality appeared after he stood up--" The electronic voice was sharp, but the rest of the words were blocked by Jiang Xiangyang's outstretched palm.
Covering the little ball's mouth, Jiang Xiangyang said, "I was just fascinated by it."
Little Ball: "Hmm?"
Jiang Xiangyang spoke without blushing or beating his heart: "When he stood up, he showed his profile. I didn't expect him to be more handsome than I thought."
Little Ball: “…?”
Jiang Xiangyang: "I was on a completely unfamiliar planet when I suddenly ran into someone I knew. This person was exactly the type of person I dreamed of, and seemed even more reliable than I had imagined."
Little Ball: “???”
Jiang Xiangyang concluded seriously, "So that was just a normal sign of heart pounding."
Little Ball: “……!!!”
Jiang Xiangyang, who was so engrossed in his foolishness, noticed that the small ball froze and stared straight ahead. Suddenly, he noticed that the figure in his peripheral vision also stopped, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Before he could look forward, the figure uttered the word "here we are" calmly. Before he finished speaking, the person had already walked into the next room.
The black giant beast was left frozen in place, staring at him with its eyes wide open, filled with disbelief and a bit of strange admiration.
Jiang Xiangyang: "He didn't hear it just now, right?"
The small ball landed on the stone hammer: "After analysis, the target's footsteps paused briefly before reaching the door, and the timing coincided with when Yangyang said the second sentence."
Jiang Xiangyang looked around, trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
When he entered the house, his cheeks were still hot, but Jiang Xiangyang thought that if he waited outside until he calmed down before coming in, it would only make his intentions more obvious. So he decided to just bite the bullet and go all in, hoping to die sooner and be reborn sooner.
Shang Yi's expression was calm. There was a platform in front of him, just enough for one person to lie down on it. "Come here."
Jiang Xiangyang walked over slowly, looked around the platform for things that looked like human experiment equipment, and finally stopped in front of the platform.
In front of him was a mechanical arm. Jiang Xiangyang swallowed his saliva and showed obvious fear of the sharp needle-like object on it.
Shang Yi moved the mechanical arm aside.
Jiang Xiangyang's body gradually relaxed.
Shang Yi raised his eyes, puzzled as to why someone who could hold his ground in the face of potent healing potions would be afraid of a tiny needle. However, this was not a question he would concern himself with. "This area has been occupied by humans, and the laws they follow are different from those of civilized society. I believe you have realized this by now."
Jiang Xiangyang nodded.
Shang Yi continued, "If you need it, I will implant a language chip and a shock sensor device in you. The former will allow you to understand most languages in the universe, and the latter will come with a tracking system. If you are in danger, I will be able to detect you and rush to you in time."
Jiang Xiangyang: "...How many languages are considered the majority in the universe?"
Shang Yi: "About 20,000 species, not counting evolutionary lineages."
Jiang Xiangyang's eyes widened instantly: "Fuck!"
Shang Yi: “Hmm?”
Jiang Xiangyang quickly covered his mouth and stared at Shang Yi's face. He couldn't calm down for a long time, his voice still trembling, and he asked a series of questions: "If the chip is implanted, I will be able to understand the language stored in it?"
"Um."
"Really every kind?"
"Um."
"No need to memorize the text?"
Shang Yi answered with great patience, although each time he just said a faint "hmm".
Jiang Xiangyang's heart was filled with sighs and a sense of awe. If this thing were mass-produced, how many students harmed by foreign languages could it save?
Suppressing the urge to inquire about the underlying principle, Jiang Xiangyang took a few deep breaths and turned his attention back to the second half of Shang Yi's sentence. He asked, "Does the latter have to be implanted?"
Shang Yi saw his expression and understood what he meant: "Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Xiangyang considered his words and tried to speak gently: "I don't really like being watched."
Shang Yi frowned, not as easy to talk to as before, but he didn't force her directly. He just said seriously, "Before I send you home, I will be responsible for your life."
Jiang Xiangyang: “…” He was actually teased in a strange way.
"Then there's no need to implant it?" Jiang Xiangyang suggested tentatively, "After all, if this kind of thing is embedded in the body, it always feels quite awkward..."
Shang Yi leaned slightly to the side, tapping the cut surface of the operating device with his knuckles, and took a step back: "How about a pager?"
Jiang Xiangyang: "Okay." He looked at the platform. "What should I do next? Lie down on it?"
Shang Yi: "No, lie down."
Jiang Xiangyang looked at the platform in confusion, then glanced at Shang Yi. Seeing that the other party had the same expression, he hesitated for a moment and slowly lay down on it.
Shang Yi had no reason to harm him, and since the other party was able to knock him down in minutes, there was no need to waste his energy to deceive him, so Jiang Xiangyang followed and lay on the platform according to Shang Yi's instructions.
Feeling the other person's gaze lingering on him, Jiang Xiangyang involuntarily tensed his body.
No matter what, it's still a bit weird to expose your back so openly to someone.
