Chapter 66: The Locking Ring Imprisons the Heart and the Body
Jiang Chaoyang took a deep breath and looked at the calm Liu Tingli. "Why does it have to be me? I'm just an ordinary Alpha. Is it worth all this trouble?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Jiang Chaoyang raised his eyebrows: "What don't I understand?"
Just as he finished speaking, an absurd thought popped into his mind, making him feel instantly nauseous: "Don't tell me you want to be friends with me."
Liu Tingli's eyelashes didn't move, and he said calmly: "We lack company."
Jiang Chaoyang: “……?”
"Is this a valid reason?"
Jiang Chaoyang was speechless. His eyes passed from Liu Tingli's expressionless face to the group of S-class Alphas behind him, each with their own problems. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether they were serious or joking.
"Does it have to be me?" Jiang Chaoyang asked.
Liu Tingli nodded.
Jiang Chaoyang scratched his head and began to think about what to do.
"Don't agree to them." Wu Zaisheng said firmly, "It sounds good to say they're accompanying you, but who knows what they'll do after they trick you back? What if they lock you up?"
Yi Yuan said, "And there's no guarantee they'll fulfill their promise. The initiative still lies with them."
"If you are so worried, why don't you come with him? We can't do it in front of you, right?" Xie Song shrugged.
The entire space fell into a subtle silence.
Jiang Chaoyang thought for a moment, then looked up at Liu Tingli again: "Give them the inhibitors, and I promise to go to your place."
Without waiting for anyone to react, he continued, "The premise is that my personal freedom cannot be restricted. I can go when I want to, and leave when I want to. Do you understand me?"
Liu Tingli almost didn't hesitate, "Okay."
Zhan Xingli couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why are you doing this?"
Jiang Chaoyang ruffled his blond hair, dodged his question, and said jokingly, "I've made such a huge sacrifice, so you have to treat me well and compensate me for my whole life, okay?"
After he finished speaking, the expected rebuttal did not come. Instead, the air became stagnant and the atmosphere became weird.
Countless eyes fell on Jiang Chaoyang, heavy and heavy.
Jiang Chaoyang thought he had said something wrong and was about to correct himself when the phone in his pocket rang.
When he saw that the caller was Ren Shuzhen, he immediately stood up, said to them, "I'll take a call," and then walked to a corner.
The moment he turned and left, the atmosphere, which had been slightly relaxed, became subtly tense again.
Sang Chiyou, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. He lifted his head from the back of his hand and scanned the people present with his crimson eyes. "I have a question I'm curious about."
He spoke slowly:
"Can an alpha get pregnant?"
Jiang Chaoyang, who was answering the phone, felt inexplicably uneasy. He turned around and saw that all eyes were suddenly on him.
Jiang Chaoyang: "??? Why are you looking at me?"
No one spoke. Jiang Chaoyang muttered something like "he was sick" and then turned around to concentrate on talking to Ren Shuzhen on the phone.
In the eerie silence, Yu Siran answered for Sang Chiyou: "It's not possible in theory, and the practical application is still unknown."
Sang Chiyou didn't seem surprised and continued to ask, "Does the alpha have a reproductive cavity?"
“It has degenerated.”
【Delete, delete, delete】
【Delete, delete, delete】
Jiang Chaoyang completely missed this shocking conversation. He looked around and said, "Anything else? If not, then we can all go home and have a quick shower and sleep."
Han Shuquan raised his chin and pointed at his ankle: "I'm curious, how did you open the chain?"
Jiang Chaoyang remained calm and said in a relaxed tone, "This one isn't very strong. It will break if you pull it hard."
"It breaks when you pull it?" Jun Shilin replied with a smile, but there was a deep meaning in his eyes, "Then I'll give you a better one next time."
Jiang Chaoyang glared at him.
"Just kidding." Jun Shilin glanced at his legs and asked casually, "The chain is broken, but the ring on your foot hasn't been untied yet, right?"
Ling Ni walked over in a few steps and said, "Let me take a look."
Jiang Chaoyang was dragged to sit on the sofa without explanation. Under the scorching gazes of many people, he could only helplessly lift up his trouser legs: "I told you, there's nothing to see."
Gabriel, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "It's hard to see this way."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Chaoyang's calf was suddenly grabbed, and he lost his balance instantly. His vision turned and he fell backwards onto the sofa.
The ankle was lifted up, exposed without any cover and exposed to the eyes of everyone around.
The delicate silver lock ring fit tightly against his joints, shining in the dim light, forming a sharp contrast with the soft skin around it.
For no reason, I felt a sense of vulnerability, imprisoned and under scrutiny.
Jiang Chaoyang propped up his upper body with his elbows, looking at the figures surrounding him, puzzled and speechless: "What kind of fetish is this? Isn't it just a broken heart?"
He pulled his legs back and tried to stand up, but the other hand grabbed his ankle faster, and Jiang Chaoyang's body, which had just stood up, was dragged back in an instant.
Several eyes fell on the ankle even more unscrupulously, their gazes had already gone beyond the scope of examining the object, and more like appreciating a piece of art that was deliberately possessed.
Jiang Chaoyang collapsed completely into the sofa, staring at the ceiling, speechless and asking the heavens.
At this moment, a hand reached out, and its fingertips gently brushed the edge of the lock ring. Yi Yuan examined it carefully. "There's a keyhole."
Jiang Chaoyang seemed to remember something and tried to pull his leg back, but Yi Yuan held it tightly, so he failed. He turned his head and looked at Liu Tingli, "Where's the key? Did you bring it?"
Liu Tingli calmly shifted his gaze from his tightly clasped ankle and said, "I didn't bring it."
Jiang Chaoyang: "..."
A brief silence hung in the air.
Yin Wangzhi glanced at the other free ankle calmly: "It's rather monotonous to lock only one. If you want to lock it, lock both feet."
Yan Ji glanced at him and said, "If we had known that he would know you, we should have locked him up long ago."
Wu Zaisheng shook his head: "I think it would look better if I put it on my neck, it would be more noticeable."
Han Shuquan looked at the person sunk into the sofa, and saw that Jiang Chaoyang had closed his eyes at some point, his breathing became steady and long, his hair was disheveled on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously relaxed.
Han Shuquan laughed angrily, "How can you fall asleep in this situation?"
Lou Yuxi also looked over and sighed: "This is too defenseless."
Those gazes that lingered on Jiang Chaoyang were no longer concealed, and became more direct and intense because of his defenseless sleep.
Her sight seemed to become material, greedily tracing his sleeping eyebrows and eyes, passing over the bridge of his nose, lingering on his open lips, and finally falling on his slightly heaving body.
Jiang Chaoyang slept soundly, as if he was surrounded not by a group of dangerous predators, but by loyal and harmless protectors.
