Burning Heart[ABO]

For lunch, Ji Rao specially bought the cross-bridge rice noodle seafood pot, which was packed in an insulated bucket and was still steaming hot when opened.

After pouring things into a bowl, Ji Rao sat down by the bed and took apart the chopsticks. Ye Huaining's eyes fell on his red and swollen face: "...how did this happen?"

"It was raining a little outside, and I accidentally slipped and fell in the garden downstairs just now."

Ji Rao explained casually, and made a gesture of baring his teeth on purpose to tease Ye Huaining: "Fortunately, I didn't lose my appearance, I still have to rely on this face to eat."

Ye Huaining looked complicated: "Wrestling will fall like this?"

The last time this person ran to punch Ye Huai'an, he was beaten to the point where his face was bruised, which is pretty good compared to today's.Ye Huaining had already guessed who made the move, so he didn't ask. Seeing Ji Rao like this, he didn't feel happy, only those inexplicable and indescribable feelings that kept popping up.

Ji Rao refused to admit it: "It really fell. I was afraid that you would rush up because you were hungry, and you didn't notice that your foot sprained. I'll find a nurse to help deal with it later."

Ye Huaining didn't want to say any more, and picked up the bowl to eat in silence.

Ji Rao sat on the sofa beside him, and slowly ate his portion.

Ye Huaining still had a low-grade fever and still needed an infusion in the afternoon. He was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone. Xu Yinxing sent a WeChat message saying that he had returned to the set and asked him to have a good rest.

"My role is finished in half a month. When I go back, I will take Brother Ye out to play. What Brother Ye promised in the morning is counted?"

Ye Huaining replied casually: "Do the math, you take me to play?"

"Yeah, brother Ye, you are only in your twenties, you have to live a life that young people should live."

Ye Huaining was a little funny: "Alright then, I'll wait."

Xu Yinxing replied with a big smiley emoji.

Ji Rao played the Rubik's Cube on the sofa. He just bought it at the convenience store downstairs. He looked up and saw Ye Huaining smiling. He guessed who he was sending messages to. He was happy but not in a good mood. Sit over and talk to him: "Huai Ning, do you play Rubik's Cube?"

Ye Huaining took it and held it in his hand for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

Ji Rao looked at him with a smile, touched the teasing in this man's eyes, Ye Huaining felt a little unhappy, and threw the Rubik's Cube back into his arms.

Ji Rao didn't take it seriously, picked up the Rubik's Cube, flipped it over quickly, and restored the thing in the blink of an eye. He held the Rubik's Cube and shook it in front of Ye Huaining as if showing off. Ye Huaining pursed his lips and heard him say: "Play There is a formula for this, it is very easy, do you want me to teach you?"

Regardless of whether Ye Huaining would like to listen or not, Ji Rao showed him the operation while reciting formula formulas. Ye Huaining couldn't help but frowned, and when he restored the Rubik's Cube again, he finally said: "Recite the formulas like you do, and play this game. What else do you mean?"

Ji Rao smiled: "You're right, it's boring to follow the steps like this. People still have to have some spirit of exploration. If you try without giving up, there is always hope for success."

His words seemed to point to something, Ye Huaining didn't say a word, took the Rubik's Cube again, lowered his eyes and slowly turned it.

Ji Rao watched his movements and didn't bother him anymore.

It took 10 minutes for Ye Huaining to spell out the neat six faces.

Holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand and looking at it for a while, he turned it one more time, broke the six-sided balance, returned the thing to Ji Rao, and lowered his voice: "It's no fun to succeed, and it's useless to spend so much time chasing the momentary pleasure of success." significance."

Ji Rao didn't say anything, but changed the topic, and reminded him in a warm voice: "Go to sleep for a while, I'll call you when the potion is finished."

Ye Huaining lay down and turned his back.

There was a faint sigh behind him.

That night Ye Huaining slept very peacefully, he didn't wake up in the middle of the night to toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep, so he didn't see Ji Rao stayed up all night, quietly guarding beside him, holding his hand and waiting for dawn.

After dawn, Ye Huaining's body temperature completely returned to normal, this time the estrus period has passed, and he can be discharged from the hospital with the doctor's permission.

The assistant came to pick up Ye Huaining and brought him clean clothes. Ye Huaining took off the clothes he had worn from Ji Rao's house and returned them to him.

Ji Rao took it, hesitated to speak a few times, but didn't say anything in the end.

After getting in the car, the assistant rolled down the window and asked Ji Rao who was still standing outside: "Where are you going? Shall we see you off?"

"I'm going back to the set, and I'm going in two directions with Mr. Ye's house. Xiao Zhang will come to pick me up in a while. Don't trouble you. You should send Mr. Ye back to rest quickly."

After Ji Rao finished speaking, his eyes fell on the back seat of the car. Ye Huaining raised his eyes. Ji Rao bent down, smiled at him, and waved his hand: "Huai Ning, go back and have a good rest. See you next time."

Ye Huaining looked at him, without saying a word, the car drove out, and he saw the man standing in the same place from the rearview mirror.

After a while, he closed his eyes lightly.

three days later.

Ji Rao walked into the coffee shop he had agreed with, sat down and waited for a while, when someone came in and took off his hat and mask, it was Xu Youxin.

Sitting down opposite Ji Rao, Xu Youxin ordered a cup of sugar-free coffee.

Ji Rao looked at him calmly. It had been a long time since he had lost a lot of weight, and his face was obviously sick. The other party took the initiative to speak first: "Mr. Ye was seriously injured by Mr. Ye and was sent to the hospital, and he is still in the intensive care unit now. Li, you specially asked me out, because you already know something and want to confirm with me?"

Ji Rao's expression was slightly cold, Xu Youxin didn't take it seriously, took off his gloves, then slowly rolled up a part of his sleeve, stretched out his hand in front of Ji Rao and shook it slightly.

Ji Rao's face changed at that moment, he clenched his fist tightly, suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and tried his best not to stand up on the spot and grab the person in front of him.

He smelled the familiar Omega pheromone smell, but it was not as strong and pure as Ye Huaining's before, and it interacted with the pheromone after he was no longer marked.

Xu Youxin took a sip of his coffee and said lightly, "I know you must really want to beat me up right now, but it's useless for you to hate me. It wasn't me who dug out the lobular glands, I was also a victim, my own taste Although it doesn't smell good, it's my own and I don't want anyone else's."

"Boss Ye forcibly tied me to the operating table, took my glands and transplanted them to me, but the effect was not as he expected. This gland can only exert a maximum of [-]% of its effects on me, and I have to eat it for the rest of my life." The anti-rejection medicine has made my health worse, even so, he still refuses to let me go, saying that he wants me to take good care of this gland, if he is not still in the hospital today, I would not be able to come out to see you at all."

"The previous time you asked me if I knew what happened between Mr. Ye and Mr. Xiaoye. I didn't tell you. Think of me as selfish. I don't want to be exposed."

Ji Rao said coldly: "You once said that you envy such top pheromones."

"I envy President Xiaoye, but I don't want him, not at all."

Xu Youxin's eyes showed sarcasm: "It's just that I was a ghost in the past, hoping for something that shouldn't be expected. Finally, I recognized the reality and reaped the consequences. Now it's useless to regret it."

Ji Rao understood what he meant, and he stared into Xu Youxin's eyes: "So you hate him now?"

Xu Youxin was slightly stunned, and then smiled wryly: "What's the use of hating, he will be rewarded for his evil."

"He's not dead yet. When he comes out of the ICU, he can continue to harm others alive and kicking. What kind of evil will be rewarded?"

Ji Rao gritted his teeth a little bit, Xu Youxin said in a daze: "So what else do you want to do? What else can you do? He picked Mr. Xiaoye's glands, and Mr. Xiaoye has nothing to do with him. I'm afraid he might even go to the police. There is no evidence, right? What can you do?"

It's not that Ye Huaining has never reported to the police, he asked his assistant to report to the police on the first day after he came back from the ghost gate, but it was useless, he had no evidence at all, the police checked routinely, and finally nothing happened.

Ji Rao asked why he came here: "Where did he change your glands? Specifically which hospital or other places, I don't believe you don't know at all."

Xu Youxin folded his fingers on the table, remained silent for a while, and said dumbly: "I do know, he once showed off to me that he has a large underground medical institution, which specializes in gland sales and transplantation, and he is behind the scenes. Major shareholder, but I don't know the specifics."

Ji Rao had a rough idea: "He seems to trust you?"

Xu Youxin laughed at himself: "I was completely marked by him. I am a dodder flower who depends on him to live. He will indeed tell me many things."

Ji Rao didn't take it seriously: "I see you are like this, and it seems that you don't want to live like this forever."

Xu Youxin raised his eyes: "There's no need to make detours anymore, just tell me the intention of asking me out."

Ji Rao said bluntly: "Since you are his bedside person, it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to collect some information about that underground institution?"

Xu Youxin frowned when he heard this: "You want to make a fuss about his business? He must have established a network behind his daring to do it. Even if he can get relevant information from that underground medical institution, how useful is it? Maybe it won't hurt. He avoided the itch."

"Not necessarily, there is something called public opinion."

The trafficking and transplantation of living human glands is illegal. If there are involuntary ones, those involved will be severely sentenced according to national laws. This may be their only hope.

Xu Youxin still shook his head: "How much public opinion can be aroused by some innocuous information."

Ji Rao's eyes fell back into his coffee cup, he stared at the ripples stirred by the small spoon, and said slowly: "So you have to let the public see more things, you just need to collect things that can prove that Ye Huai'an is Find out the information about the shareholders behind the organization, find a way to help me get the contact information of that organization, and I will do the rest."

Xu Youxin asked subconsciously: "What do you want to do?"

"You don't have to know that."

Xu Youxin hesitated: "Aren't you worried that I'll turn around and tell him what we said today?"

Ji Rao lightly said: "If you really plan to do this, I can't stop it. This road won't work, so just take another road. The worst thing is that I will hack him to death with a knife. If there is really no way out Let’s go, that’s the way to go.”

Xu Youxin was stunned when he heard the words, and sighed in a low voice: "So I really envy President Xiaoye, that someone can be so desperate for him."

Ji Rao didn't answer.

It's meaningless to say this, and he doesn't want to say it.

"...I'll give it a try, but I can't help you too much. I can only do what I can. I have to protect myself first. It's up to you to figure out how to completely bring down Mr. Ye."

Ji Rao said: "This is enough."

After a moment of silence, Xu Youxin said again: "When Mr. Ye can no longer control me, I will return the gland to Mr. Ye, if he doesn't think I've dirty it."

Ji Rao clenched his fist hard.

Not sitting in the coffee shop for too long, the two left one after the other.

Ji Rao drove back. When he was waiting for the traffic lights, he looked up at the building ahead. Sheng Xing's headquarters was there. He silently counted to the [-]th floor where the lights were on, but he couldn't tell which one belonged to Ye Huaining. Are you inside, and what are you doing...

Ji Rao was slightly dazed until the horn of the rear car sounded, and the signal light had already turned green.

I had to regain my composure and step on the gas pedal.
