Journey to the Rose

Correct.

Ruan Xi subconsciously wanted to answer like this.

Without getting the answer he wanted, Lu Zhenghe could only feel it from Ruan Xi's silence.

To be honest, he could understand Ruan Xi's guard against him, so he didn't rush to ask any more questions, but took out a small test tube from the belt around his waist and held it in his palm.

The fog inside the door still hasn't dissipated, and the entire room is quiet.

Lu Zhenghe walked out of the bathroom without a sound, and said in a low voice, "Ruan Xi, stretch out your hand."

"What to do?" Ruan Xi was still wary of him.

"I'll give you what you want," Lu Zhenghe replied, "I've prepared it in advance."

Ruan Xi fell silent.

What else can I do if I don't pick it up, a temporary mark?

The scalding mist turned into hot air, scrambling to climb up the back of Ruan Xi's neck.

In this uncontrollable situation, he felt a strange stickiness in that extremely sensitive place, as if someone was licking his head down behind him.He shivered uncontrollably, hot sweat trickling down his cheeks drop by drop.

Ruan Xi shook her head, trying to get rid of the sticky feeling inside.

"Ruan Xi."

Seeing that there was no movement, Lu Zhenghe shouted again in worry, "Or do you want to..."

A wet hand appeared near the crack of the door.

This hand is white and powerful, with moderate muscle lines, and there are almost no traces of being tortured by coolies.

Ruan Xi, who has been praised so highly in the rumors, is really not bragging. Just by looking at one hand, others can roughly imagine his general image.

There is no need to concentrate on smelling it, Lu Zhenghe has already smelled a hint of alcohol on the tip of his nose.

This taste is still a bit high for him.

Like after a sip of wine, the alcohol melted in the stomach, and there was a slight burning sensation in the internal organs, which was neither painful nor itchy, but warm and comfortable.

This is Ruan Xi.

This is the oga chosen by fate for him.

He can mark him at any time, force him, no one will have an opinion, and no one dares to have an opinion.He is strong, the next leader of the most powerful region on the continent.

Lu Zhenghe is patient.

He took a deep breath, resisting Alha's instinct to conquer unconditionally.The tip of the nose drilled into that smell again.

In addition to the taste, Ruan Xi's vigilance made Lu Zhenghe feel that the other party was hiding something from him.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Xi took the inhibitor from him without hesitation, and quickly closed the bathroom door.

"Thank you."

Ruan Xi's figure gradually blurred into a shape on the bathroom door, and the water in the shower was still rushing.

Lu Zhenghe tested him again, "Don't use it, I know you are oga."

Hearing Lu Zhenghe tell the secret he wanted to hide so bluntly, Ruan Xi couldn't help but pause, and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with you."

Because she didn't want to be seen clearly what she was doing, Ruan Xi chose to face the door with her back, leaving only a shadow with broad shoulders and narrow waist.

He knew that he was sloppy, so he didn't say anything else. Instead, he grabbed the collar of his jacket tightly, lifted the clothes high, and looked for the needle stuffed into the deepest part of his pocket as if he was craving for something.

Then, he pinched the needle and poured the inhibitor into the needle.

Due to panic, Ruan Xi's movements were trembling, and one-third of the inhibitor was spilled out, flowing down the bottle mouth to the wrist bit by bit.He didn't wipe it either, he sat up and tilted his head, pointed the needle at the side of his neck and stuck it in.

"Uh……"

Ruan Xi's unbearable sound due to pain echoed in the bathroom.

This voice is different from his usual voice, more like an intimate murmur between lovers, with a bit of forbearance.

Time slipped away again.

Lu Zhenghe didn't want to hear Ruan Xi's panting, but he had to let it go straight into his ears.

After the rational and impulsive villains in his head had finished fighting with each other, he took a breath, got up abruptly, and walked to the window to open the glass for ventilation.

Ruanxi is my oga——

In the mind, there are domineering and arrogant voices roaring continuously.

The sky was overcast, and the sound of the rain in beast city was surprisingly loud, like sea water upside down in the sky, overwhelming everything.Time is passing quietly.

pity……

Ruan Xi's voice was too catchy, and he hadn't figured out a suitable way to divert his attention.

Lu Zhenghe had sharp eyes and good eyesight, and suddenly fixed his gaze on the glass of the window of the tree house, because there seemed to be newly added paw prints there.

Being extremely vigilant, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

Without too much hesitation, Lu Zhenghe quickly put on his shirt at wartime speed, raised his gun, and hit the bathroom door with the butt of his gun, "Are you dressed? Time is running out, we need to go. "

"Lu Zhenghe, are there any orcs outside?" Ruan Xi's voice sounded abnormally weak.

"Yes." Thinking of the paw prints outside the window, Lu Zhenghe frowned.

"you……"

Before Ruan Xi finished speaking, Lu Zhenghe felt that something was wrong, he didn't care whether Ruan Xi was wearing clothes or not, and chose to slam the bathroom door open with his shoulder.

"Whoa-"

He burst into the door.

In front of him, Ruan Xi's legs were weak and he was leaning crookedly against the door.

A terrifying, long and narrow bloodstain was cut on the lower side of his face by the animal's claws, as if the surface had been scratched by some sharp object.

The incandescent light in the bathroom was still on, and a large hole had been broken through the exhaust window.

The water flow did not stop, and the fog did not dissipate.

Beside Ruan Xi's legs, lying on his back was a hairy male orc. He had fainted, a needle was inserted in his neck, and his thigh was scratched by broken glass.

Traces of muffled fighting and splashed blood are everywhere in the bathroom.

"Ruan Xi, come here." Lu Zhenghe called him.

Ruan Xi hadn't finished taking the inhibitor yet, and half of it remained in the needle tube, but her strength was already much weaker.

Hearing what Lu Zhenghe said, he seemed to gain some strength, took a deep breath, gathered his energy and dragged his legs that were numb under the pressure of the orcs, pulled out, and limped onto Lu Zhenghe.

"You stand out." Lu Zhenghe pushed him out of the bathroom and put his arms around him.

Ruan Xi only felt heat in his eyes, and it was Lu Zhenghe who covered them with his palms.

"boom!"

A muffled gunshot suddenly exploded in his ear.

After the gunshots were over, the first thing Lu Zhenghe did was to look back at Ruan Xi who was holding on to the door frame.

Ruan Xi got used to the pain of being scratched on her leg, and didn't want to hold her back, so she rolled up the cuffs of her clothes and folded them, and wiped off the blood in two or three strokes, without any intention of treating the wound.He didn't care about his face, just wiped it with his fingers, and frowned slightly.

"Treat it, or it will hurt." Lu Zhenghe bent over to see the injury on his leg.

"No, there's no need to bandage this little injury, pack up and get on the road, I'll fix it in the car."

"And what about your face?"

Ruan Xi "It's okay."

Lu Zhenghe "This is your face."

Ruan Xi still disagrees, "Scars are a man's medal."

Lu Zhenghe "..."

He thought, Ruan Xi always seemed to have a lot of truths that only he understood but others could not understand.

Throwing his own luggage and rucksack onto his shoulders in one go, Ruan Xi looked at Lu Zhenghe's helpless expression and said in surprise, "I said, do you think I'm the kind of person who has to take another shower before fainting?" ?”

Lu Zhenghe controlled the thought of nodding, and rationally analyzed "it didn't reach that point."

Ruan Xi "Really."

But you clearly want to nod your head, I can see it!

Seeing that he was still out of breath, Lu Zhenghe was worried that there would be some mistakes on the way down, "You just finished taking the inhibitor, and your body is weak, please sit down and rest for a while."

"It's okay," Ruan Xi coughed, covering her flushed face with her palm, "Let's go."

Just when she was about to say something, Ruan Xi had already walked past Lu Zhenghe carrying her luggage.

Time was running out, and the two walked out of the room while taking things.

Since someone came to attack just now, and Lu Zhenghe led Ruan Xi, who had no combat experience, he did not dare to take it lightly, and his spirit was also high. The two cooperated with each other and went downstairs in a back-to-back movement. .

When she reached the area with a wide view, Ruan Xi took a step slower, "Are you a little worried about me?"

Lu Zhenghe lowered his head to load the bullet, and said lightly, "Just a little."

Trying to ignore the sense of loss in her heart, Ruan Xi also promised Lu Zhenghe, "If I feel hurt, I will tell you."

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Lu Zhenghe roughly figured out Ruan Xi's temper after all the tossing.

With a long sigh, Lu Zhenghe didn't expect him to say anything, but he still asked, "Really?"

Ruan Xi blinked, "Yes."

He whispered to himself in his heart, actually not.

Why?

Before the reunion, he would not only tell Lu Zhenghe that he was in pain, but also make a fuss, pretend, and ask Lu Zhenghe for a comforting hug by pretending to be pitiful.But it's different now, now he doesn't need to let Lu Zhenghe know this.

He is him, Lu Zhenghe is Lu Zhenghe.

The time belonging to "us" has quietly passed.

·

After leaving the hotel, the beast city was still dark.

It had rained just now, and the humidity in the air was constantly rising. Under the moonlight, the forest turned into a bottomless black.

Opening the door of the off-road vehicle, Ruan Xi threw the luggage rucksack into the back seat.He hung the armrest of the car door and took a pair of tactical holsters that fit on his thighs.

Outside the car is a vast and unclear scene.

He remembered the "Wild Survival Handbook" he brought in his bag. There was a chapter describing the beast city, saying that everyone here is martial, simple-minded, and well-developed limbs. If you give some benefits, you can be bought easily. Lai Beast City has never developed into a decent city.

He remembered that when he was in high school, Lu Zhenghe used to scare him with Beast City, saying that when Ruan Xi grew up enough to be out of the sight of his parents, he would take Ruan Xi to explore Beast City.

A few years ago, the urban situation was not as tense as it is now. There are often high school students and college students who come to other cities in teams for adventure activities. Ruan Xi is eager to try, and Lu Zhenghe follows his train of thought.

Ruan Xi thought, and glanced at Lu Zhenghe, who was seriously arranging his equipment.

The other party had already prepared his gun and backpack, holding a jug of clear spring water in his hand, and pouring his head up his throat, his Adam's apple slipped between the lines of his neck.

Against the backdrop of such a dense forest, Ruan Xi suddenly saw something different about Lu Zhenghe after four years of absence.Maybe it's because of wandering and fighting outside all year round, Lu Zhenghe has more wildness, and occasionally reveals the simplicity and purity.

"Looking around, what are you looking at?" Feeling the gaze, Lu Zhenghe turned his head and wiped the water stains on the corners of his lips.

Ruan Xi suddenly laughed and didn't answer the question.

On the other thigh, Ruan Xi wore a quiver so that it was convenient to insert a knife into it.

In addition to the knife, a piece of blade protection cloth was kneaded inside. After the bumpy journey, when Ruan Xi took it out to look at it again, some putty had already been stained on the cloth.

"Why is it still dirty..."

He shook the ashes distressedly, took a closer look, and decided to find a place to wash at the next stop.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Ruan Xi checked all her equipment, but couldn't find the missing tube of inhibitor.

The dose injected into his body in the bathroom just now was not completely enough. He was worried that he would relapse at some point on the road, so he decided to remind Lu Zhenghe.

Ruan Xi unscrewed the kettle, raised her head and poured a mouthful, pretending to be calm and said, "Well... I didn't finish my inhibitor just now, so I don't know what will happen... If there is really something out of control live, you tie me up."

The Beast City is mostly jungle, and the climate is humid, Lu Zhenghe fired several times but failed to ignite.

He exhausted his patience and held back his anger to answer Ruan Xi, "I can't control what, are you afraid of getting angry with me?"

"No... not."

Ruan Xi's face became slightly hot, and she hurriedly looked out the window.

"What are you looking out for, are there any orcs?" Lu Zhenghe bit his cigarette butt, making gestures to raise his gun.

"No!" Ruan Xi concealed her panic by raising her voice.

Lu Zhenghe said, "Tie oga is not a gentleman's move."

Ruan Xi "You just kill me."

"Joke, I managed to get you out of your abze city, and now the 26th city is less than two cities away, you want me to kill you?" Lu Zhenghe smiled sincerely and innocently, and his extremely well-growed eyebrows lowered slightly The arc of pressure seemed to be planning some bad idea, "If you die in my hands, I won't go back."

As soon as the words fell, he knocked out the small Yanling knife that Ruan Xi had drawn out in an instant with a gun that was one-third the length of his arm, and said with a smile, "I just saved you, and you will repay your kindness?"

"..."

Ruan Xi was out of breath, biting her lip, wishing to unscrew Lu Zhenghe's head and open it to see what was inside.

"do not worry."

As Lu Zhenghe said, he put the gun away, and didn't care that Ruan Xi was still holding the knife in his hand, "Except for me, no one is qualified to take you along this journey, and I will not hand you over to anyone else."

Ruan Xi asked under the loud roar of the off-road vehicle, "Why?"

"Because..." Lu Zhenghe said with a smile, "Because we believe in fate."

Seeing him smile, Ruan Xi suddenly had a strange idea in his head

——Is it feasible to make him fall in love with me again?

Ruan Xi suddenly said, "Fate is important?"

After a while of silence, Lu Zhenghe replied, "That depends on what it is compared with."
