Chapter 232 Returning to China
"Xiao Zhi..."
Looking at the complete trust and determination in the girl's eyes, words could no longer express his current feelings.
It wasn't just a casual joke, nor was it a judgment made without careful consideration, but his Xiao Zhi was willing to firmly declare her position for him and choose to support him without hesitation.
Qiao Zhiyu's Adam's apple rolled, and thousands of words were stuck in his chest, which finally turned into an almost pious low call.
The next second, he stretched out his arms and hugged Yu Zhi tightly in his arms, almost wanting to rub her into his bones and blood.
"Thank you..." His chin rested on Yu Zhi's soft hair, and the tip of his nose was filled with the girl's clear and sweet breath. "Thank you, Xiao Zhi."
Yu Zhi put her arms around his waist and patted his back soothingly.
She tilted her head back slightly and placed a soft kiss on his taut jawline.
"You are mine," she said proudly, "you can't let others bully you."
Everyone around them kept silent, giving the two of them a brief moment of tenderness.
But after Qiao Zhiyu held him for a full half minute and showed no intention of letting go, Sheng Jiayi couldn't help but speak first.
"Well," he said sourly, "If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about."
Originally, Qiao Zhiyu had an innate advantage in status, and the public stance of a god-level healer could almost shatter the humanity of Qiao Zhiming's faction.
They were probably desperate and trying every possible means because they were worried that Qiao Zhiyu and Yu Zhi would become more emotionally involved, so they decided to give it a try.
Although his tone was a little sour, there was still an obvious smile and relaxation in Sheng Jiayi's eyes.
Since Yu Zhi was willing to go together, it was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Qiao Zhiyu and his trip back to China.
"I will ask my father for help too." Kuiji already followed Yu Zhi's lead, and he said hurriedly when he saw this.
"If you need help, feel free to ask." Xie Wenyu nodded at Qiao Zhiyu.
Although Chen Wang didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was willing to help.
If others think that they have a bad relationship, then they will suffer the consequences.
Although they are fighting with each other and trying to trip each other up internally, they are still united against the outside world.
It was hard for Qiao Zhiyu to say that he was not moved.
But no matter how touched I am, since I am already holding Xiao Zhi, I still have to hug her as much as I can.
He hummed softly, then buried his face in the crook of her neck and rubbed it, like a big cat that had found a safe haven.
Yu Zhi felt a little itchy from being rubbed by him, and couldn't help but laugh softly, inserting her fingers into his thick hair and rubbing it——
"So when do we leave?"
*
With the dual use of money and power, everyone boarded the starship bound for the empire's capital planet in the evening of the same day.
This was also to catch Qiao Zhiming and others off guard.
Except for Wei Yuan, who could not go because of his sensitive identity, the rest of the people including Kui Ji decided to go.
In addition, a number of military security personnel were arranged to go along, but they would not normally disturb Yu Zhi and others.
On the way, Kuiji had been trying to find an opportunity to be alone with Yu Zhi, but he was strictly guarded by the other people.
After all, they didn't dare to bet on Yu Zhi's self-control.
In this closed environment for two people, if Kuiji did something fancy, Yu Zhi might be coaxed into doing it.
But this time, I really blamed Yu Zhi and Kui Ji a little wrongly.
After all, this trip was to help Qiao Zhiyu. No matter how bad she was, she would not want anything to happen with Kuiji at this time.
Kuiji really just wanted to be alone with Yu Zhi and cultivate their relationship.
He hasn't even figured it out in some areas.
"Baby, do you want to come to my room and play Star Wars together?" Kuiji ran over with a holographic projector and asked Yu Zhi.
"Go play in your room?" Sheng Jiayi appeared out of nowhere and rolled his eyes. "Is Star Wars some kind of game that can't be played outside together?"
Kuiji watched as he smoothly took the holographic projector and invited everyone to play together.
First attempt, failed.
"Baby, do you want to play Wild Racer after dinner?" Kuiji continued.
“Hmm…”
Before Yu Zhi could answer, Xie Wenyu stood quietly beside her again.
"Sure, let's play together." He tilted his head and imitated Kuiki's tone, "Baby?"
Second attempt, failed.
"Bao..." Kuiji became more and more courageous as he faced more setbacks.
Chen Wang followed like a ghost, "Xiao Zhi, I want to be with you..."
Kuiji could only watch as Yu Zhi was dragged away by Chen Wang in front of him.
The third attempt still failed.
Kuiji scratched his head in confusion. "What's wrong with them? I never saw anything like this before in the military academy."
Dun Dun then wondered, "Did you offend them these past few days?"
Kuiji felt wronged: "No, I obviously listened to them."
This side tried hard but failed to get what he wanted, while Qiao Zhiyu lay down easily on the bed in Yu Zhi's room.
"Zhi Yu," Yu Zhi rested her head on his arm, "Have you thought about what to do after arriving at the Capital Planet?"
"Well," Qiao Zhiyu held her fingers with his other hand and gently stroked them, "We may spend a lot of time negotiating with some aristocratic families. Sheng Jiayi can take you to have some fun on the Capital Star."
He paused, afraid that the girl would think he was useless, and couldn't help but explain.
"Before... I actually had a bit of a rebellious mentality. I hated these intrigues and calculations of interests, and I didn't want to fight. That's why I fueled the ambitions of Qiao Zhiming and his group."
Yu Zhi listened quietly to him finish his words.
"But I want to fight now. I want to be able to..."
Protect you.
Although he didn't finish the sentence, it was enough for Yu Zhi to understand his unfinished meaning.
Of course, she couldn't say something stupid like "It doesn't matter, if you don't want to fight, then don't fight". Being in love and being content with life are things that only happen in fairy tales.
If the empire is really controlled by others, then a new war might break out, and the comfortable life she wants will be gone.
so--
"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."
Yu Zhi raised her head slightly, looked at him, and made the most touching promise.
Qiao Zhiyu's hands became a little hot. After holding her tightly in his arms, they naturally slid to her waist.
He couldn't wait to lower his head and capture those delicate pink lips, but his movements were gentler than ever before, as if he was afraid of breaking a fragile glass doll.
Breathing gradually became heavier.
"Switch to sleep mode."
While Yu Zhi was taking a breath, he found an opportunity to turn off the lights in the bedroom, leaving only a dim light strip leading to the bathroom.
In darkness, all senses are magnified to the extreme.
