Chapter 193: Apocalypse: Saving the Cold Beauty Doctor 11

"Eh..."

Xu An's face turned pale with a muffled groan; his trembling hand pulled out the ice spike, blood quickly flowing out, no matter how he pressed he couldn't stop it.

He bit his lip, feeling extremely wronged, and ran toward Jiang Junshen.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 90!】

Jin Chen set up a formation outside the supermarket to detect dark forces, then heard 0731 broadcast the Heartbeat Value and Blackening Value, and couldn't help but wonder.

What's going on? Not being by my side actually causes the values to change?

The formation was already set up; only a drop of blood was needed to activate it. Jin Chen pricked his finger, dropped a drop into the formation; silver light flickered, quickly spreading from the formation to all its points.

【Host! Little Pitiful One has arrived!】

0731 hurriedly reminded.

Jin Chen lightly waved his arm; the formation vanished. Turning around, he saw Yu Rongzhou walking toward him.

"How did you come here?"

He leaned his arm against the wall, tone relaxed.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Rongzhou walked over, eyes strange, "Aren't you hot?"

"A calm mind brings natural coolness." Jin Chen nodded.

"... Then continue."

Yu Rongzhou turned and left.

"Hey, wait a moment."

Jin Chen grabbed his arm, used a little strength, and pulled the person into his embrace; the distance between them instantly closed.

"Not right, Yu Xiaozhou, you came over on purpose just to ask this?"

His tone teasing, he slightly leaned forward, staring into Yu Rongzhou's eyes, eyebrows slightly raised, "Are you worried about me?"

"No!"

Yu Rongzhou's tone rare had fluctuation; he turned his face away, retorting, "Don't be so self‑sentimental."

"Not that, then why are your ears red?"

Jin Chen extended a finger to lightly pinch the reddish ear tip of the person in his arms, "Your ears are far more honest than that hypocritical mouth of yours."

"I don't have that, it's just the heat." Yu Rongzhou found this closeness hard to bear, feeling his heart race extremely fast, almost jumping out of his chest.

"Let go!"

Jin Chen's eyes held a smile, his gaze shifting; finally, just before Yu Rongzhou could not resist striking, he rose, took his hand and locked them together.

"I was outside watching the rain, always feeling something was off."

He took the initiative to explain, his other hand lightly tapping Yu Rongzhou's head with a finger, "You smell of blood—what were you doing in there?"

"I injured Xu An."

Yu Rongzhou slightly raised his eyebrows, seeming to think it trivial, and didn't elaborate further: "You've never asked about my identity; aren't you curious?"

"I'm curious, but I originally planned to wait for you to tell me yourself."

Jin Chen, while leading the person inside, said, "You're a researcher at Long Jiang Base; besides that, do you have any other identity?"

In the plot, there's also no further explanation of Yu Rongzhou's other identities, and Jin Chen truly doesn't know.

"No." Yu Rongzhou seemed to think of something, shaking his head to deny.

"It doesn't matter what your identity is; don't even think about escaping from my side."

Jin Chen shook the hand he was holding, tone smug, "After all, you'll never meet another handsome guy like me again."

"... Thick‑skinned."

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 25!】

When the two returned to the supermarket's first floor, Xu An's wound had already been treated by Wang Li Li; he clung to Jiang Junshen's side, acting coquettish, but seemed to get no response.

Gazing at the two walking in hand‑in‑hand, Xu An bit his lip tightly, a feeling of comparison surging up again in his heart.

Again like this… he seemed forever unable to match Yu Rongzhou.

In the base's research lab, the person valued by Uncle Jiang is Yu Rongzhou; the one with the best experimental results is Yu Rongzhou; he himself always falls just short.

Now even when it comes to dating, could Yu Rongzhou possibly be happier than him?

Just now, after telling Jiang Junshen about his serious injury, he only had Wang Li Li treat him, with no intention of questioning Yu Rongzhou at all.

"What right… what right!"

Xu An's back teeth ached from clenching; he lowered his head to hide the malice in his eyes.

Yu Rongzhou glanced at him, saw the wound healed, then glanced at Wang Li Li, and averted his gaze.

"It's so hot, Yu Xiaozhou."

Jin Chen walked over to the Red Blood Squad trio and stopped, saying, "Create an ice block to cool off."

"Are you an ice‑making machine?" Yu Rongzhou said expressionlessly.

"How could that be? You're my precious treasure!"

Jin Chen grinned, leaned slightly forward, tightened his grip, "Please, my precious, soften your heart a bit."

Zhao Rui's trio also looked at him with hidden anticipation.

"... Troublesome."

Yu Rongzhou's face flushed slightly; he withdrew his hand, clasped his palms together, conjuring four ice balls the size of skin balls, and tossed them into their embraces.

Zhao Rui hugged the ice block, his crimson cheeks pressed close, letting out a sigh, "Thanks, Brother Yu!"

Xu Yue also relaxed his breath, the furrow in his brows smoothing out, "Thanks, Boss Yu!"

Zhao Huan whispered quickly, "Thanks, Captain's Wife!"

Yu Rongzhou:!!!!

He Stared at Zhao Huan, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"No, no, a slip of the tongue, I meant to say thanks to the captain's benefactor!"

Zhao Huan winked at Jin Chen, quickly Change Address.

Zhao Rui opened his mouth wide, his gaze darting between Jin Chen and Yu Rongzhou, finally realized.

So that's their relationship!

Seeing Zhao Rui's expression, Xu Yue almost laughed himself hoarse.

Jin Chen laughed heartily, hugging Yu Rongzhou from behind, "Let me see whose ears are red again."

"I already said it's hot."

Yu Rongzhou wore a 'believe it or not' expression, his ear tips scorching.

Unbeknownst to him, because of Jin Chen, he also came to accept the other members of the Red Blood Squad; this lively squad atmosphere was something Yu Rongzhou had never felt before.

It seemed that because of Jin Chen's presence, his life gained some noise, and he suddenly felt that the world wasn't just gloom.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 85!】

0731 let out a cheer.

Jiang Junshen sat by the transport vehicle, looking at the message sent from his father, he glanced at Yu Rongzhou and Jin Chen, then quickly replied.

——"Okay, Father. I'll bring them back as soon as possible."

"Jiang Brother, what are you doing?"

Xu An walked over and sat beside Jiang Junshen, but dared not look at the communicator's content; he hadn't forgotten how, earlier, out of curiosity, he had looked and been scolded by Jiang Junshen.

"Nothing, just reporting progress to Father."

Jiang Junshen rubbed his brow, gazing at the person leaning against him, "After this batch of experimental potions arrives, are you sure you can enhance the effects of the C4 Potion?"

"Since the C4 Potion was developed, follow-up research has stalled; Father has repeatedly urged him, and he's very anxious."

"Yes, yes."

Xu An suppressed his inner panic, recalling the booklet he had found in Yu Rongzhou's room earlier: "I've already discovered the cause of the stagnation; I can continue to make changes."

"Then that's good."

Jiang Junshen finally smiled at him, pulled the person into his arms and gave a kiss, "Thank you for your hard work, but the base's research progress is still slow; we still need you to put in more effort."

"Not hard; working for Jiang Brother is something I willingly do."

Xu An lowered his head bashfully, showing a happy smile.
