MTL - Guide To the HE of the Former Female Supporting Role-Chapter 26
When Cheng You came back from the shower, Jing Zhao hadn't come out of the bathroom yet, so he sat on the sofa in the room and waited. His short, soft hair slightly covered his brows and eyes, but it couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes.
As soon as the bathroom door opened, hot air came out. Jing Zhao was only wrapped in a bath towel, and went out while wiping his hair.
The base's heating facilities are still under construction, and the room is no warmer than outside. Cheng You glanced at her, and hurriedly put his coat on the sofa for her.
Jing Zhao looked down at the clothes he found for her, and raised his eyebrows: "Your? Don't you have any women's clothes?"
Cheng You took the towel in her hand and continued to wipe her head, "Well, I don't have any at home, I'll get it for you at the base warehouse later."
Cheng You frowned while thinking, he was also careless and forgot to prepare clothes for Zhaozhao, it seems that next time he went out he had to go for a walk in the mall.
In fact, I don't blame Cheng You, even if the end of the world is coming, he is still a young master who has no worries about food and clothing as before. He never has to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is only natural that he will forget.
Knowing that the warehouse is where the base stores supplies, Jing Zhao shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just wear yours."
Zhaozhao likes to wear his clothes, Cheng You is happier than anyone else, and there is a fixed number of material distribution in the warehouse, consumer goods such as clothing are what they send, and there is no chance to choose them.
Although Cheng You is Cheng Ming's younger brother, those at the base will look at his face, but Cheng You is not the kind of person who loves to use privileges.
And he doesn't even bother, the base belongs to the base, and he will prepare everything Zhao Zhao needs for her.
In addition to clothes, there are also various women's products, oh, and mother and baby products, all of which have to be prepared in advance...
Jing Zhao didn't know that Cheng You had already thought about the child, and felt that the hair was almost wiped, so he asked him to get the hair dryer, which she hadn't found in the bathroom just now.
Cheng You got up, took the hair dryer and came back to blow Jing Zhao's hair, looking serious as if he was doing something important.
Jing Zhao glanced at the wound on the back of his hand that was a little white because of the water, so he held his hand and told him not to blow it.
Cheng You stopped and looked at her suspiciously. Jing Zhao glanced around the room and asked, "Is there a medicine box?"
"Medical kit?" Cheng You was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking that Jing Zhao was injured somewhere, and thinking of the tooth marks on her shoulder, he hurriedly got up, "Yes, I'll get it."
The medicine box was placed in the cabinet in the living room. Cheng You took it up, knelt down in front of Jing Zhao, and wanted to put medicine on her shoulder, but Jing Zhao stretched out his hand and held it down.
Jing Zhao took the disinfectant and the cotton swab in his hand, then took his hand and put it on his lap, dipped the cotton swab in the liquid medicine, and handled it lightly, while not forgetting to scold him: "Such a big man, Mr. Thinking of taking care of others, why didn’t I think of taking care of myself.”
It turned out that she was worried about his wound.
Cheng You lowered his eyes and looked intently at the person who treated the wound for him, and a warm current filled his chest.
Thinking of the past, he fought with his deadly enemy and went home with a wounded face.
After returning home, the eldest brother would scold him without asking why, and Aunt Qin would tell him not to fight, and then cook him a table of supplementary dishes, but no one would ask him if his wound hurt like her, and no one would gently replace him. He treats wounds.
Cheng You never told anyone that he felt most relaxed around her.
In fact, it would be a strange thing to say that someone like Cheng You would fall in love with Jing Zhao. He is neither considerate nor venomous. He only has work and research in his heart, and he doesn't take his relationship very seriously. The men around him are like crucian carp in a river.
As for Cheng You, his family is rich and handsome, and there are dozens of sweet and lovely little sisters around him, but he doesn't like any of them, and he is madly infatuated with her.
He even argued with his elder brother who had always been a little respected for this.
He just likes her, and no one else can do it except her.
After Jing Zhao treated Cheng You's wound, when he looked up, he saw someone staring at her with red eyes, and his hands paused slightly. She wondered, "It hurts?" She was obviously very light?
Cheng You regained consciousness, shook his head, looked down at the carefully bandaged wound on the back of his hand, smiled and showed his big white teeth, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
As long as it doesn't hurt, Jing Zhao put the things back into the medicine cabinet, turned around and pressed his fingers against the edge of the bath towel on his chest, and looked at the person sitting opposite her with a calm face, "I want to change clothes."
Cheng You glanced at the place where her finger was pressing, his eyes darkened for a moment, he leaned over, and said shamelessly, "Zhao Zhao, I can also change it for you."
"Are you sure?" Jing Zhao raised one corner of his lips, pinched the folded corner of the bath towel with his fingers and pulled gently, and the bath towel suddenly slid down and piled up on the sofa.
Cheng You's eyes suddenly stopped moving.
A strange sound gradually sounded in the room, as if drinking a drink, and it lasted for a while.
Jing Zhao felt a little pain, and complained that someone didn't know the severity, and grabbed his hair with his fingers and pulled lightly, "Why, aren't you afraid I'll catch a cold now?"
Cheng You came back to his senses in an instant, raised his head in annoyance, and wrapped his clothes around him in a hurry.
Seeing his movements, Jing Zhao laughed wildly, leaning on him, noticing something strange under her legs, she stretched out her smooth arms to wrap around his neck, kneading his red earlobes with her fingertips, her voice couldn't stop He kept smiling, "You said you, why are you so... so nonchalant!"
Cheng You looked at her angrily, hugged her tightly, fixed his eyes on the bewitching red lips, and kissed her with his head bent.
After messing around for a while, Jing Zhao finally got dressed, a white thin sweater, matched with a black fleece jacket, and a pair of black slacks that Cheng You didn't wear.
The clothes and trousers are a bit too big for Jing Zhao, but it’s okay, she is not short, she is 173, these clothes look loose on her, and her black long straight hair is tied up, very good-looking.
Seeing that she was dressed, Cheng You walked over and hugged her, with a slightly resentful tone, "Zhao Zhao looks more handsome than me in my clothes."
Jing Zhao raised his eyebrows, unable to understand his complicated mood, he just pushed him away and was about to go downstairs, Cheng You hurriedly chased after him.
Aunt Qin has also prepared meals, simple three dishes and one soup, with both meat and vegetables, but the meat is some bacon. Although a breeding farm is already being built in the base, breeding takes time after all.
Aunt Qin originally only wanted to stir-fry two vegetarian dishes. Now that meat is so precious, of course she had to save some, but when she thought that Cheng You would also eat it, she could only give up this idea temporarily.
The bird's nest with red dates that Jing Zhao drank first had been cold for a while, and it was not hot to handle, but the taste was not very good.
Jing Zhao lowered his eyes, already knowing it in his heart, took a sip and put down the spoon.
Cheng You thought she didn't like it, and was about to ask her what's wrong, when Jing Zhao suddenly coughed violently.
Cheng You immediately rubbed her back nervously, Jing Zhao coughed for a while before stopping, his eyes were a little moist.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly cough so badly?"
Jing Zhao didn't speak, just put down the bowl of bird's nest with red dates and pushed it away.
Seeing her move, Cheng You immediately had a guess in his heart. He picked up the bird's nest with a sullen face and smelled it, and then tasted it. The smell was very bland, and there was even a faint musty smell. .
Aunt Qin, who was still serving the dishes, saw Cheng You taste the bird's nest, her heart skipped a beat, and she rushed over to take the bird's nest away, but Cheng You avoided it.
Cheng You put the bird's nest with red dates on the table, and didn't go to see Aunt Qin, but said in a serious voice, "Aunt Qin, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, if there is, I will tell my elder brother, you Just move out!"
Aunt Qin never expected Cheng You to say such words to herself. She thought she was an old man who had taken care of the Cheng family for many years. Even if the second young master found out, he would at most blame her. She never expected him to say such harsh words to her.
move out? Where to move? Going to a small place of more than 20 square meters with her big family, you have to go out to take a shower and go to the toilet, and you usually only have enough food, which is completely different from the days when there are meat and fruits.
Just thinking about it, Aunt Qin felt panic in her heart, and immediately bowed her head submissively to apologize to Cheng You, saying that she was just confused for a while.
Cheng You turned his head to look at her and said, "I'm not apologizing to me."
Aunt Qin could only quickly apologize to Jing Zhao again, "I'm sorry, Miss Jing, it's all my fault, it's all my narrow-mindedness, please forgive me?"
Jing Zhao glanced at her, and said with a smile on his face, "It's okay, Aunt Qin, I know that you took care of Ah You and grew up, just like his half mother. I am several years older than Ah You, you are not satisfied with my I can understand that too, and I don't blame you."
After listening to Jing Zhao's words, Aunt Qin felt even more guilty. She had worked in Cheng's family for more than 20 years. It's inevitable that he will regard himself as the master of the Cheng family.
Sure enough, after hearing what Jing Zhao said, Cheng You's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he looked at Aunt Qin appreciatively for a long time, until a layer of cold sweat formed on her back, then he looked away and said, "Since Zhao Zhao doesn't blame you , then go down, don't let me know there is a next time."
Aunt Qin didn't dare to say another word, she put down the dishes and left.
As soon as Aunt Qin left, Cheng You immediately held Jing Zhao's hand and said, "Zhao Zhao, I never minded that you were older than me, so don't think too much about it."
"Well, I know." Jing Zhaohui held his hand and curled his lips.
Cheng You's mood suddenly improved, and he said that Jing Zhao should not care about Aunt Qin, and she would never dare to do this kind of thing again in the future.
As for what a half-mother said, Cheng You just scoffed. Although Aunt Qin is an old man who has been with the Cheng family for many years, she is only a servant after all.
Over the years, she has been in the Cheng family, and relying on her seniority, she has often bossed around other servants, and even moved the good things in the Cheng family's mansion to her own home. The reason why she was ignored was just because of these things Years of affection, and what she took were things that didn't matter to them, so he and his elder brother kept turning a blind eye.
But Zhaozhao is different, he is not willing to bully himself, so why should he allow an outsider to bully him.
Cheng You thought about it, and when he saw that Jing Zhao had brought him a dish with chopsticks, he immediately put aside some annoying thoughts, and happily dined with him.
After the meal, Jing Zhao said that he remembered something that might be useful in finding Dr. Lu Ning, so Cheng You immediately took Jing Zhao to see his brother.
In the Military Core Management Office, the people sent by Cheng Ming soon got results. They investigated some bases that had been frequently moved recently, but they found no clues related to Dr. Lu Ning.
When Cheng You and the others came over, Cheng Ming was frowning and thinking about a paper map on the office wall, and drew a circle in City A with a pen.
Although Jing Zhao knew who the person who kidnapped Dr. Lu Ning was, she couldn't say it directly, and could only induce Cheng Ming to think that way in a roundabout way.
"When I was doing experiments under the teacher, I heard the teacher said that some foreigners wanted to do business with Dr. Lu Ning for a batch of new drugs, but the price they offered was too low, and Dr. Lu Ning refused to agree. They traded with them, but those people didn’t seem to give up, so I wonder if Dr. Lu Ning’s disappearance has something to do with them.”
After Jing Zhao finished speaking, he looked at the map in front of Cheng Ming, "City A is the origin of the virus. The first zombie biting incident happened in Huamao Shopping Mall. The time from infection to onset will not exceed one hour. I suspect that the virus was kidnapped at that time. Dr. Lu Ning's people are likely to be near the mall."
"Indeed." Cheng Ming nodded, "I have also considered the possibility that Dr. Lu Ning is still in City A, but it has been a month since the end of the world, and the situation in City A is extremely complicated, and the people I sent are not around the mall. See anyone alive."
There is no trace of any stranger's activities, only densely packed zombies.
They tied people underground, built lairs under the shopping mall, and because they had learned about the virus in advance, they were well prepared, and naturally they didn't have to venture out to collect supplies.
Jing Zhao was thinking about how to talk about it, and he heard Cheng You say, "If there is no space above, then what about below? China Central Place is so big, it is impossible that there is no space underground."
Hearing what he said, Cheng Ming fixed his eyes and immediately went to the desk to make contact.
Jing Zhao secretly glanced at Cheng You with admiration, and then he added: "If Dr. Lu Ning is really kidnapped by those foreigners, then you must be careful, they may have heavy weapons in their hands, and they may threaten Dr. I did some biochemical research, so be careful in everything."
Casualties in operations are normal, but it would be great if they could be reduced or avoided directly. Cheng Ming, who was giving orders, took a look at Jing Zhao, and then followed up to remind his subordinates of the things they need to pay attention to.
Cheng Ming chose to rescue Dr. Lu Ning not just because of Jing Zhao. He valued Dr. Lu Ning's research more. If Dr. Lu Ning could belong to the Southwest Base, then they would be the first base to master the anti-zombie virus medicine.
Jing Zhao also guessed what Cheng Ming was thinking, so in the matter of Dr. Lu Ning, she and Cheng Ming had a relationship, and they owed each other nothing.
The time points to six in the afternoon, and it will be dark soon.
Almost half of the time had passed since Jing Zhao was bitten, and they were not at ease going back, so the two simply waited for news in Cheng Ming's office.
Not long after, the communicator rang, and Cheng Ming raised his head after picking it up, and said to the two sitting on the sofa, "I found it."
The kidnapper's lair was indeed under the Huamao Mall, and the scale was not small. When Cheng Ming's troops went down, they were really surprised.
In addition, the person who kidnapped Dr. Lu Ning was really the foreigner Jing Zhao mentioned. His English name was Jason, and he was a habitual smuggler.
A month ago, I found Dr. Lu Ning's secret laboratory because of the new drug business. I wanted to **** the medicine, but I didn't expect to overturn the virus by mistake. Jason didn't get caught, but his subordinates who got caught, and immediately mutated into A man-eating monster.
So the first alienated zombie didn't happen in China Central Place, but in Dr. Lu Ning's secret laboratory.
Jason is also well-informed, and he didn't panic when he encountered this incident. He directly dealt with the subordinate. Seeing new business opportunities from the virus, he immediately kidnapped Dr. Lu Ning without hesitation.
Originally, they planned to wait for Dr. Lu Ning to develop a medicine to restrain the zombie virus, and then they would come out and sell it to the outside world, but they did not expect that the subsequent development would not be smooth.
The virus spread too fast on the one hand. The speed of drug development could not keep up with the speed of zombie evolution. Dr. Lu Ning alone could not do it.
So Jason started to think about other biochemical doctors, but this time their stronghold was found and breached in advance, and the subsequent plans naturally could not continue.
Dr. Lu Ning was successfully rescued and returned to the base.
Jing Zhao and the others went to the airport to greet him. In addition to Dr. Lu Ning, there was also his wife, but the only son of the couple had lost contact with him because he was working in other places before the end of the world.
In just one month, Dr. Lu Ning seemed to be much older than before, his temples were gray, and he even walked a little bumpy.
Seeing this, Jing Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Doctor, are you okay?"
Dr. Lu Ning looked up at Jing Zhao, stretched out his hand to help his eyes, and said hesitantly, "You are that student of Lao Li, Jing...?"
"My name is Jing Zhao, doctor." Jing Zhao replied with a smile.
She and Dr. Lu Ning haven't really met each other, but they have seen her in the video a few times when they were doing experiments with the teacher before, so it's hard for the old man to recognize her.
"Oh, Jing Zhao, is your teacher also at this base?" Dr. Lu Ning subconsciously asked his best friend for many years.
Jing Zhao was silent for a moment, "Teacher, he..."
Seeing her expression, Dr. Lu Ning could guess what happened, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "Oh, if I had known today, I should have destroyed the virus samples in the first place, and it wouldn't be what it is now. .”
Jing Zhao: "Teacher, it's not your fault, but those greedy people."
Dr. Lu Ning didn't speak after hearing this, but shook his head with a serious expression. If he hadn't thought about researching a medicine that could resist the zombie virus, he wouldn't have survived until now, and he should have gone down to make atonement to the people.
Standing beside Jing Zhao, Cheng You didn't want to disturb the two of them talking about the old days, but because he was worried about Jing Zhao's health, he said, "Dr. Lu Ning, actually there is one more thing I need your help to save you this time."
Cheng You briefly explained that Jing Zhao was injected with an inhibitor after being bitten by a zombie. Dr. Lu Ning was surprised when he heard this, and quickly asked someone to bring over the box he was carrying.
There were three virus blockers in the box, and Dr. Lu Ning directly took out one and injected it into Jing Zhao's arm, and said to Cheng You, "Take her back and have a good rest. She has been bitten for a while, and her reaction may be slower." Strong, take care of it at night."
Hearing that there might be a big reaction, Cheng You threw Dr. Lu Ning to his brother. He picked up Jing Zhao and walked back. Jing Zhao asked him to put him down, but he didn't listen.
At night, Jing Zhao really reacted. Originally, Cheng You slept with her naked in his arms, but was woken up by the heat in the middle of the night.
Immediately, she turned over from the bed and sat up, turned on the light, and saw Jing Zhao covered in sweat, beautifully frowned, with a pained look on her face.
Cheng You was taken aback, and wanted to call Dr. Lu Ning no matter what time it was.
Jing Zhao opened his eyes from the pain, and tried his best to hold him back and not let him go.
"You... right here, don't leave."
"But…"
Cheng You wanted to say something, but was pulled down by Jing Zhao.
Afraid of crushing her, Cheng You hurriedly supported her with his hands, his eyes fixed on her face, and he said in a worried voice, "Zhao Zhao, is your body hurting? Can I go to the doctor?"
Jing Zhao touched his neck and pulled him down, Cheng You immediately lowered his head and moved closer, Jing Zhao raised his head and whispered something in his ear.
Cheng You was stunned for a moment, with a dazed expression, and then said expectantly and hesitantly: "Then, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Jing Zhao half-closed his eyes and hummed.
Cheng You immediately lifted the quilt from the two of them, and got in by himself.
After a long time, Jing Zhao's curled up toes gradually loosened, his whole body was covered with sticky sweat, the corners of his eyes were bright and slightly flushed, his side face sank into the soft pillow, and he gasped for breath.
Cheng You came out from under the quilt, buried his head in her shoulder, and said in a voice half aggrieved and half coquettish, "Zhao Zhao, I feel bad."
Jing Zhao tried his best to open his eyes and let him hold him.
A good night's sleep.
Jing Zhao was the first to wake up. I don't know why, but last night he was so uncomfortable that he was going to die, but the moment he opened his eyes, he felt very energetic.
Never been better.
There is no discomfort in the body, except that the place where the needle was inserted yesterday still hurts a little.
Touching his arm, Jing Zhao stared at his fingertips for a while, then looked down at someone who was still sleeping. In order to take care of her last night, Cheng You stayed up almost all night, so he still hasn't woken up at this time.
Jing Zhao leaned down and kissed the corner of his lips, and was soon noticed by someone, before he opened his eyes, he raised his head and kissed her back.
Jing Zhao avoided him with a smile, straightened up, and wrapped someone's quilt together.
Cheng You got up helplessly, looked carefully at Jing Zhao's face, and found that it was very rosy and healthy, and he was relieved a little while asking, "Zhao Zhao, is there anything else you feel uncomfortable about?"
Jing Zhao shook his head, then looked at his hands, and said thoughtfully, "Cheng You, I seem to have... a supernatural ability."?
