Chapter 1321: Hot-blooded College Guy, Online Zombie Slaying 43

Half a month later, the research institute's core team invited Su Shan to begin the experiment.

That day, the companions all got up early, personally sending Su Shan to the research institute, and Liu Zhi was especially on high alert.

Even though they had learned of an improved drug based on Jiang Chen's research, and his sworn brother Jin Ge guaranteed that nothing would happen to Su Shan,

but the tension of his lover about to undergo a dangerous experiment still clung to Liu Zhi like a shadow.

He appeared even more nervous than Su Shan, who had calmly accepted it.

Liu Zhi naturally had a paralyzed face; his usual expressionless deadpan was already frightening enough, but today he was even more tense, almost causing the research institute guard to draw his gun when he got out of the car.

On the contrary, Su Shan was comforting him.

"I'm no longer afraid."

Before the staff took Su Shan to change into the experimental suit, he still held Liu Zhi's hand to soothe him, and as they gazed at each other it felt as if they had returned to several years ago.

Su Shan then looked toward the companions.

"Although there had been unpleasant experiments before… these days of getting along have let me know that humanity is not numb and hopeless; thank you for your companionship."

Ru Meng: "We'll wait for you at the farm."

Chu Shu Ge and his buddy put their arms around Su Shan's shoulders, "Don't worry! You were originally a member of our superhero team!"

"Superheroes don't die easily!"

Infected by their enthusiasm, as Su Shan was about to leave, he quickly took a few steps and kissed Liu Zhi's cheek.

"Wait for me to come back."

"This time, I can finally say this to you in person."

"I promise I won't suddenly disappear again."

Liu Zhi said nothing, watching the staff escort Su Shan's gradually receding back from the research institute hall, his shoulder patted by Jin Chen.

"They say the experiment will take about half a month; why don't you stay and keep him company?"

Liu Zhi immediately lifted his head, "Can I?"

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, "In theory, no."

"But rules are made by people."

After saying that, Jin Chen went alone with Jiang Chen to the dean's office.

Jiang Chen felt Jin Chen's way of coordinating wouldn't be simple, so he first got a preventive shot.

"Later you should speak politely, don't…"

Boom!

The office door was kicked open.

Jiang Chen: "……"

Well, the preventive shot wasn't finished.

He pinched Jin Chen's fingers, composed his helpless expression, and faced outsiders with only indifference.

"Is there something you two need?"

Red Doctor could only pretend not to see the kicked-in tempered glass, smiling awkwardly as he inquired.

"This youngster is formidable, and we can't afford to provoke him."

"After all, he kills zombies as if it were a game!"

Jin Chen still remembered his wife's admonition: to be polite.

He gripped Jiang Chen's hand, determined to see politeness through to the end.

"I want to leave someone in the lab to accompany Su Shan; please try not to refuse."

Jiang Chen's lips twitched as he suppressed laughter.

"It seems a certain college‑age friend still hasn't learned what true politeness is."

Red Doctor: "……Ah?"

He stared in astonishment, "According to the rules, no outsiders may be in the lab, for fear of leaking……"

He hadn't even finished saying "leak" when Red Doctor heard Jin Chen stepping on the shattered tempered glass, making a creaking sound.

Each step challenged Red Doctor's nerves.

"Rules…… can still be broken!"

Red Doctor immediately changed his tone, "But in principle we can also allow a family member to stay."

Jin Chen: "Pleasant cooperation."

Red Doctor wore a full‑face bitter smile, his gaze toward Jiang Chen carrying a plea for help.

Jiang Chen returned the smile, naturally helping kin over principle, "Pleasant cooperation."

Red Doctor: "……"

"Who exactly is being pleased!"

However, after just ten or so minutes, Liu Zhi was also ushered in by the staff, allowed to observe the experiment extra, and to reside inside the research institute.

The companions' understanding of their brother Jin Ge's strength was shattered again; only Jiang Chen, while listening to them praise Jin Chen, couldn't hide a smile at the corners of his mouth.

Jin Chen naturally noticed.

On the way back, Jin Chen held Jiang Chen as they sat in the rearmost seat of the RV, humming as danger approached.

"Today I've laughed for a long time."

"I've heard it all."

He held Jiang Chen, rubbing their temples together, slightly furrowing his brows, making onlookers think he had suffered some great grievance.

Jiang Chen wrapped his arms around Jin Chen's shoulders, leaning obediently into his embrace, his voice tinged with teasing.

"That isn't mocking."

When it comes to patting himself on the back, Jin Chen has always been very good at it.

It's because your boyfriend is too handsome, smiling affectionately.

After saying that, Jin Chen still nodded in agreement on his own.

Jiang Chen burst out laughing, rudely ruffling Jin Chen's hair, "Not humble at all."

"Humility? School never taught it."

Jin Chen utterly unashamed, nuzzling Jiang Chen's neck with kisses and rubs, "Dear, the apocalypse is about to end."

Being rubbed until extremely itchy, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to press against Jin Chen's broad chest, adjusted his posture, then lay back down.

He heard Jin Chen's words and suddenly zoned out.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jin Chen kissed his lips again, reached out and pinched his face.

"Thinking...... about future plans."

Jiang Chen sighed inwardly, he had never confided his worries to anyone, always keeping a cool composure in front of outsiders.

This avoided much trouble, but also always led him into a rut.

"Tell me about it."

Jin Chen, however, relentlessly insisted, "I'm not an outsider."

He paused slightly, then suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

"I'm an insider."

"The word 'inner' was spoken with extra emphasis."

Jiang Chen felt in his heart that Jin Chen had another layer of meaning.

Jin Chen, who had successfully been glared at by his wife, grinned, "I didn't say anything at all."

Jiang Chen, annoyed, poked Jin Chen's nose tip, and consequently relaxed a lot.

He spoke of the point he was torn about.

If there were no psychological barrier, of course he'd want to continue being a doctor; even if he'd once felt disheartened, his initial passion for medicine had not been worn away.

But the problem also lies in the psychological barrier; the symptom of trembling hands gradually disappears, but the psychological rejection and fear are not so easily repaired.

"So…… another plan is to accept Red Doctor's invitation and enter the research institute."

"But this ultimately isn't what he wants."

Jiang Chen sighed again, nestled in Jin Chen's embrace, lightly rubbing his cheek, "You say, how should I choose?"

Jin Chen listened quietly, then soothed by placing a light kiss by Jiang Chen's ear, and the earlier teasing was gone.

"Go do everything you like."

Jiang Chen curled his fingers, "But......"

"The psychological barrier will get better."

Jin Chen naturally knew what he was worried about, also ruffled Jiang Chen's hair, the soft strands becoming a little messy from the rubbing, appearing even softer.

He held Jiang Chen's face, gazing into his eyes, and softly assured, "Once the apocalypse ends, the psychological barrier will get better."

This is really too decisive; Jiang Chen, being a doctor, theoretically thinks this is just comfort.

But at this moment, even if it's just comfort, Jiang Chen only wants to believe it, feeling fulfilled in his heart by his lover's soothing teasing.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 5, total 96!】

Jiang Chen lowered his brows and eyes, gently tugging at Jin Chen's collar, his beautiful eyes clearly expressing a meaning.

Jin Chen understood, his fingers gently slipped into the hair gaps, covering them with a deep kiss.
