Chapter 2328: S-Rank Guide Forced Love 13

You Zan had lived over twenty years, never imagining he would be suppressed by a guide to this extent.

His tongue tip was lightly bitten, his knees pinned, his whole body locked tightly in Jin Chen's embrace, breath scorching, his whole body burning, as if thrown into a high fever dream from which he could not awaken.

"Still want to fight, huh?"

Jin Chen's voice was low and deep, carrying a languid satisfaction, he irresistibly gripped the back of his neck, his fingertip rubbing that sensitive spot of skin.

You Zan naturally wanted to resist, but his bodily reaction could not be concealed.

Something's off.

A sentinel's physique far exceeds that of ordinary people; even with an unhealed serious injury, he shouldn't go limp all over from a simple restraint move.

Unless……

You Zan's pupils suddenly contracted, he jerked his head up to look at Jin Chen, his voice hoarse to the point of being inhuman.

"You……are guiding me?"

Guide Combination Heat.

A high-rank guide can, through mental suggestion and physiological stimulation, put a sentinel's body into a state of extreme craving for guide essence, stronger and more uncontrollable than post-battle dependence.

You Zan knew his own rank, so Jin Chen could only be……

"You are an S-rank guide."

Even in the Central Area Tower, S-rank guides are few enough to count on one's fingers.

And to be able to so precisely control a sentinel's physiological responses is even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Jin Chen sensed You Zan had no intention to continue fighting, so he sat back onto the sofa, lazily rubbing along You Zan's back and spine, an absolute sense of control.

"So, don't resist me. I will heal your mental landscape."

As he spoke, soothing mental threads slowly invaded You Zan's mental domain.

You Zan's mind was in a complete tangle.

Reason told him he should push Jin Chen away, stay vigilant, but his body instinctively craved the powerful guide's mental power.

It could soothe the pain in his mental landscape, repair his body riddled with wounds, and even……let him briefly forget those nightmare-like past.

In the mental landscape, the black jungle cat was pressed down by the white wolf; the silver-white giant wolf lowered its head, rubbed its nose against its tangled fur, then stuck out its tongue, leisurely grooming it.

The jungle cat initially flared up and growled low, but gradually its struggles diminished, until it simply gave up resistance, lying limp beneath the white wolf's paws, allowing it to lick.

So comfortable.

You Zan's breathing gradually eased, his body unconsciously leaning toward Jin Chen, like a beast seeking shelter.

Jin Chen's lips curled, "We, the big sentinel, agreed, right?"

You Zan's eyes were wary and confused: "... You fucking don't use that dog‑coaxing tone!"

Jin Chen chuckled, not only not restraining himself but intensifying, rubbing his hair, "You really do look like a wildcat that's been petted into contentment."

You Zan: "……"

He suddenly stood up, wanting to curse, but his injury wasn't healed, his leg went weak and he almost knelt.

Jin Chen, quick-eyed and quick-handed, supported his waist, then pulled him into his embrace, low voice: "Don't be stubborn."

You Zan's ears burned crimson, he gritted his teeth.

"Let go!"

Jin Chen: "If you keep moving, I'll continue guiding."

You Zan's whole body tensed, he stopped moving completely.

Damn, this guide is too dangerous.

Gotta run!

Run after the mental landscape is restored!

……Better to beat him up first, then run!

——

The incident of You Zan and Lu Wen and a few others fighting was still spreading in the tower.

This time it had no effect on You Zan.

Because Jin Chen "played the good guy first and reported", he regarded Lu Wen trio's provocation as an attack on the legislator, while You Zan was merely protecting him.

Indeed many saw Jin Chen rush to the rehabilitation area in a hurry, then leave somewhat embarrassed, but due to Lu Wen's vigilance, hardly anyone noticed they were confronting You Zan.

What made Lu Wen feel uncanny was that the evidence he kept provoking You Zan to obtain from surveillance and recordings had all vanished!

Not only did the original recording suddenly disappear from the disk, but even the copy stored in the optical brain left no trace.

All that remained from that day were just their injuries.

Lu Wen held a grudge in his heart, and completely feuded with Jin Chen, this high‑rank guide of unknown rank, feeling both remorse and panic, yet the desire to kill You Zan had not diminished in the slightest.

And You Zan himself……

While busy with rehabilitation and treatment, Jin Chen would not allow him to be clouded by hatred, so he hadn't thought of the "trash" that angered him for a long time.

The vitality struggled out of the lower‑level mire, tenacious like weeds, You Zan's recovery speed exceeded the medical model's predictions.

That day, You Zan moved his no longer stiff shoulders and neck, walking up to Jin Chen, who was processing light‑screen documents.

He stared at Jin Chen's fingers, his tone hard‑edged, with a hint of probing.

"I need to go down for a trip."

Jin Chen didn't look up, his fingertip sliding on the light screen, "Where to?"

"The lower levels, to find Old Boulang……the old doctor of the Lower Level Medical Area." You Zan paused, then added, "That old guy……had left me something before."

He didn't say what exactly it was.

Especially that modified short assault rifle, which had become almost indispensable in his battles, and the close‑quarters short dagger that had drunk countless aberrant blood.

It is all he has left, proof of his status as an Advanced Sentinel.

Jin Chen's fingers paused for a moment, then he finally lifted his eyes to look at him, as if he had expected it all along.

"Fine, change your clothes and go, be careful."

You Zan's prepared explanation lodged in his throat.

He frowned, a vague emotion welling up.

He of course relaxed, after all Jin Chen's omnipresent desire to control was truly aggravating.

But… just like that? Not asking about Lao Bulang's exact identity, nor what to take.

Regarding his affairs, isn't this guy the type who even inquires about his daily sleep and meals?

This sudden freedom instead left You Zan feeling empty inside, like stepping onto cotton with no foothold.

You Zan pressed his lips tight, said nothing more, turned and changed into the clothes Jin Chen had prepared.

The fabric was soft and high-end, the cut sharp, yet wearing it felt like an undisciplined beast dressed in a skin not his own.

You Zan walked to the entryway, his hand resting on the cold button, but did not press it right away.

In the living room, Jin Chen sat in the large leather sofa, his back to him, intently watching the encrypted light screen projected onto his wrist, which displayed a cipher sent by Bai Ye.

You Zan just stood there in the doorway, like a fierce door god.

A few strands of his unruly short hair stood up, his gaze somewhat stubborn, fixed firmly on the back of Jin Chen's head.

Yet he had to restrain his aura—an Advanced Sentinel's ability—that even someone as perceptive as Jin Chen could hardly detect.

Time passed second by second.

Until Jin Chen finished processing that document, the light screen dimmed, and upon seeing You Zan he almost got startled.

Jin Chen glanced at his watch, then at You Zan, and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going out?"

You Zan's heart flared with anger, mixed with a suffocating feeling of being ignored.

His voice edged with sharpness: "……You put surveillance on me again?"

That must be it! Otherwise how could this guy be so at ease?

This thought flashed through You Zan's mind, carrying a conviction he himself had never deeply examined.

Hearing that, Jin Chen realized something, his body relaxing as he leaned back into the sofa.

"Alright."

He allowed his wife to retrieve her weapon, and in passing did a few petty tricks against the protagonist.

"If you have secrets, I can choose not to watch the surveillance."

You Zan: "……?!"

A sour irritation surged up to his head, blocking his chest with a heavy feeling.

You Zan swore, yanked open the heavy door, and strode out without looking back.

Jin Chen: "……"

What a thorny bunch.
