Chapter 123 The one who is not loved is the mistress

Fu Ren finally figured out what Shen Zhi and Yu Zheng were going to do.

"Pull out his nails for research?" Fu Ren's eyes fell on Yu Zheng's long dark blue nails.

Shen Zhi lowered his eyes and stared at Fu Rengu's jade-white hands that were kneading his fingertips lightly, and nodded slightly.

“Cut…cut…” Yu Zheng argued from the side.

Pulling and cutting are not the same thing.

This is what Yu Zheng and Shen Zhi were arguing about just now.

Shen Zhi wanted Yu Zheng's nails and wanted more, but Yu Zheng only agreed to give Shen Zhi a part.

After all, any more would cut into his flesh.

Yu Zheng has no sense of pain after becoming a zombie, but he still has consciousness as a human being. He will feel heartbroken when he sees his bare, bloody nails in the future.

Fu Ren ignored Yu Zheng and rubbed Shen Zhi's wrist, "What should we do? There is no experimental equipment here. If we pull it out now, it will not be fresh when we return to Tonglan."

Not fresh? Do you think it's cooking?

Yu Zheng clenched his hands and said, "It's good to keep the nails for a few more days anyway."

Shen Zhi felt a little itchy from Fu Ren's touch and curled up uncomfortably. His delicate fingertips stroked across Fu Ren's palm, causing a slight tremor.

A smile flashed in Fu Ren's eyes, and he pinched Shen Zhi's slender white fingertips into a rouge-red color before letting go.

"I can eat it." The warm touch covering his hand disappeared, and the pores on the back of his hand were instantly soaked in coolness. Shen Zhi stared at his fingertips that were pinched red by Fu Ren with his long eyelashes drooping, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Zhi's words were incoherent and no one present reacted immediately, the air fell into silence.

Shen Zhi's ears were filled with the quiet sound of the wind, so silent that it made people feel uneasy.

Shen Zhi was used to this. Every time he said something inappropriate, the atmosphere around him became extremely awkward.

He knew that he was different from others since he was a child. Others couldn't understand what he said, and he couldn't understand what others said either. He seemed like an alien.

Shen Zhi pursed his lips. He could have kept silent and just chosen to acquiesce as he did before. People would come up with many things to rationalize things and make Shen Zhi seem less different.

But Fu Ren was beside him.

Shen Zhi is a person who doesn't care no matter how outrageous his words are. He is used to a silent life for more than 20 years. He is also used to Fu Ren bringing his words back on track when he is dating him.

Shen Zhi regretted it the moment he said it, because he and Fu Ren had already broken up.

He felt awkward for blurting out those words in front of Fu Ren.

Shen Zhi bit his lip subconsciously, but was twisted open by warm fingertips. The fragrant fingers stopped Shen Zhi's teeth from biting his lip and pried open the gap. Shen Zhi's soft, bright red tongue tip and empty mouth could be vaguely seen.

"What are you eating?" Fu Ren frowned slightly and carefully checked Shen Zhi's mouth. He was relieved when he didn't see anything foreign that made him unacceptable. "Is that thing edible to humans?"

Shen Zhi felt uncomfortable with Fu Ren's excessive strength. He tilted his head to break free from Fu Ren's control, and pushed his tongue against Fu Ren's fingertips.

The soft touch was transmitted along the nerves of Fu Ren's fingertips, causing his calm heart to start beating and his eyes to darken.

"It's no use pretending to be good." Fu Ren's hand went around Shen Zhi and pinched his thin white neck hard, "Don't eat anything you want."

Shen Zhi pursed his lips and said nothing. He felt a stinging pain in the back of his neck and frowned, looking a little aggrieved.

Fu Ren couldn't see Shen Zhi's expression hidden by his long hair, but he knew from Shen Zhi's angry actions that he was unhappy again.

Fu Ren stood up and walked to Shen Zhi, bent down, and gently lifted Shen Zhi from the sofa and held him in his arms, and said in a soft tone: "When we get to Tonglan, I will pull out all his nails for you to do research, okay?"

Shen Zhi was startled by the sudden height. His slender white fingers fell on Fu Ren's strong arms and he struggled to come down.

"Pull out his toenails and send them to you," Fu Ren added after thinking for a moment.

I don’t know if Fu Ren’s words really worked, but Fu Ren clearly felt the force pushing on his shoulders ease, and Shen Zhi’s struggling movements gradually stopped.

Fu Ren patted Shen Zhi's thin back and said, "Be good and don't eat anything else."

The burning warmth flowed from Fu Ren's palm to Shen Zhi's back, making Shen Zhi shiver. Then he calmed down and leaned on Fu Ren's shoulder, humming softly.

Fu Ren's narrow, foxy eyes were filled with a smile. He stroked the back of Shen Zhi's head and held him tighter in his arms.

"Good boy," Fu Ren's voice was light, but anyone could hear his happiness.

Shen Zhi was taken away by Fu Ren just like that.

Zhao Mu came back to his senses from his daze and wanted to pat Yu Zheng on the shoulder to comfort him, but then he remembered that Yu Zheng was a zombie and stiffly withdrew his hand, saying dryly, "Boss... he wouldn't be that cruel."

Zhao Mu felt that his boss would not do such a heartless thing just to please Shen Zhi. Although Yu Zheng is a zombie now, he still has human consciousness.

Pulling out people's nails makes them look like murderous perverts.

Yu Zheng raised his head and said quietly, "Really...?"

Zhao Mu stared at Yu Zheng's lifeless grey eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth, and decided to tell the truth: "Not necessarily."

His eldest brother is not really a good person.

He was capable of setting fire to the beacon fire to tease the princes.

Yu Zheng: …

"Zhao Mu, come up and drain the water!" Fu Ren's voice came from upstairs.

Zhao Mu responded without hesitation and hurried upstairs, not forgetting to comfort Yu Zheng, "Don't be afraid, I will gather supplies in the next few days and buy you some painkillers. When you close your eyes, the boss will remove the tumor for you."

"Our boss is very agile," Zhao Mu smiled honestly.

Yu Zheng shrank his hands and said after a while: "I...thank...thank...you."

Zhao Mu said you're welcome and went upstairs. Fu Ren forced him to fill a bathtub with water before letting him leave.

"Go take a shower," Fu Ren waved to Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi went into the bathroom as he was told. Fu Ren took out another carrot and began to carve it carefully with a knife.

Fu Ren couldn't help but recall what happened between him and Shen Zhi. He knew that Shen Zhi was different from others.

But Fu Ren didn't think that Shen Zhi was different from others, but he had to admit that Shen Zhi did have many small flaws, such as being quiet and stubborn.

It doesn't matter.

But Fu Ren would not allow Shen Zhi to hurt himself. Was eating nails a sign of pica? Fu Ren was not sure.

The Blue Coast Research Laboratory is full of top talents, so it is inevitable that there is a lot of pressure. Shen Zhi can easily be led to strange and abnormal ways of releasing pressure.

The radish was gradually carved out in Fu Ren's hands. As the bathroom door creaked open, Fu Ren stopped.

Shen Zhi, who was covered in moisture, changed into the clothes that Fu Ren had prepared for him, a beige long coat and trousers. The dripping water flowed down Shen Zhi's overly long hair and soaked his collar, creating a transparent scene.

The pale and soft skin is exposed.

Fu Ren picked up the towel on the sofa and hooked his arm towards Shen Zhi, "Come, let me smell it to see if it's clean."

Shen Zhi walked over and was pulled aside by Fu Ren. Immediately, his wet hair was covered with a big towel and rubbed hard several times.

Fu Ren watched with amusement as Shen Zhi frantically pulled the towel off his head, his wet hair becoming tangled, revealing Shen Zhi's true appearance.

Shen Zhi was very fair, the kind of fair skin that comes from not seeing the sun. His face was young, but he was too thin. There was not much extra flesh on his face, like a small piece of glutinous rice cake, which made people feel distressed.

Fu Ren handed the carved radish to Shen Zhi, like a snack for a disobedient child, "Eat it first, I'll cut your hair."

Shen Zhi took the carrot that looked like a nail with hesitation and tilted his head in confusion, "What is this?"

Fu Ren raised his eyebrows, "Don't you want to eat your fingernails? Yes, fingernails can't be eaten, but nails carved from radish can be eaten."

Fu Ren doesn't understand why Shen Zhi wants to eat weird things. Those things should not be eaten. Fu Ren needs to correct Shen Zhi's bad habits.

"Tell me what you want to eat first," Fu Ren raised his knife and cut Shen Zhi's overly long hair fell off, and his clear eyebrows and eyes gradually became clear.

Shen Zhi was chewing on the radish that Fu Ren had carved for him, not knowing how to answer Fu Ren.

Fu Ren put down the knife, pulled open Shen Zhi's collar, and blew away the loose hair on Shen Zhi's neck.

The moist breath blew on the side of his neck, making Shen Zhi itch so much that he kept shrinking back.

Fu Ren wiped the water droplets on Shen Zhi's neck with a towel and blew towards Shen Zhi's eyelashes, causing them to tremble continuously.

"Oh, I forgot that you have a current boyfriend who is able to abandon your ex-boyfriend with whom you had deep feelings." Fu Ren grinned and said in a sinister tone, "How can I care about you?"

Shen Zhi could tell that Fu Ren was unhappy. He didn't know what to say and could only continue chewing radishes silently.

Fu Ren became even angrier.

Fu Ren narrowed her eyes. Do you like your current boyfriend so much?

"Where is he?" Fu Ren asked abruptly. He stared at Shen Zhi who was chewing radishes and sneered, "You like him so much, why doesn't he come to find you and leave you alone there?"

Shen Zhi still didn't say anything. In a test of patience, Fu Ren always gave in first.

Fu Ren picked up Shen Zhi and placed him on his lap. He moved his beautiful face closer to Shen Zhi and breathed lightly on Shen Zhi's eyelids.

Shen Zhi looked at Fu Ren in a daze.

Fu Ren gently pinched Shen Zhi's cheeks, which didn't have much flesh, and coaxed him, "Break up with him, ok?"

Shen Zhi pursed his lips and shook his head after a long time.

This is rejection.

Fu Ren was furious, and his narrow eyes were filled with hostility because of Shen Zhi's rejection and Shen Zhi's favoritism.

"Unwilling?" Fu Ren asked again, and his hand holding Shen Zhi's waist became tighter and tighter, as if he was going to strangle him to death if Shen Zhi disagreed.

Shen Zhi continued to shake his head and spoke hesitantly: "I... I don't know where he is."

The irrelevant answer made Fu Ren relax his strength.

A barely perceptible smile appeared in Fu Ren's eyes, and her beautiful face became radiant and eye-catching at this moment.

"Then just ignore him," Fu Ren leaned lazily on the sofa, like a sated cat.

Fu Ren stretched out his long arm, brought Shen Zhi to his chest, lowered his head to smell the clean smell of Shen Zhi's neck after taking a bath, "Let your husband smell it carefully to see if the stinky baby is clean."

Shen Zhi felt a little sleepy, and ignored Fu Ren's actions and yawned slightly.

Fu Ren was not annoyed. He kissed Shen Zhi's eyelids, which were about to close, and lowered his voice: "Go to sleep."

Shen Zhi closed his eyes obediently.

Fu Ren patted Shen Zhi's back gently and said to him in an almost inaudible voice: "From now on, my dear, you will be all mine. You must be obedient."

Fu Ren stroked Shen Zhi's frowning brows and smoothed them out. He still felt a little uneasy while holding Shen Zhi's sleeping face.

"If you can't find him, your husband will help you find him." Fu Ren raised his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Even if it's a corpse, you have to break up with him in front of me."
