Chen Ling remembered that she had a heart-to-heart talk with Xiang Mao before and successfully delayed the time. Afterwards, she secretly injected the strange liquid on the grounds of convenience. According to her expectations, Chen Ling should transform into a giant beast, delaying Xiang Mao for a lot of time again. However, all memories were interrupted after the injection of the liquid.
"Jiang Ze, didn't you say that even if you don't get beaten to death after turning into a giant beast, you will die of physical weakness in five hours?" Chen Ling looked at Jiang Ze.
"Because you didn't turn into a giant beast at all." Jiang Ze smiled.
"Ah? Why is this?"
"Because the liquid I gave you is different from the others. I told you to give you the light yellow one. You were very obedient and you did it."
"So the light yellow one is not the giant beast turning into liquid."
"That's right."
"I thought the light yellow liquid was the strongest liquid, but it turns out it's not a transformation liquid at all." Chen Ling said in surprise.
"Originally, they were all the same liquid, but I changed my mind temporarily and replaced your share with poison. But that is my special poison, which can make people enter a state of suspended animation."
Jiang Ze's research on medicines was not inferior to those of the so-called pharmacy scholars. When he was still in Xichuan, people often wanted to assassinate Jiang Ze. Although pretending to be dead may not necessarily succeed, there is a certain possibility of people escaping death, so Jiang Ze specially developed this kind of drug that can make people fake death.
"So, I faked my death? How many days have I been dead?" Chen Ling asked curiously.
"It's like seven or eight days. I was a little worried that I couldn't get your body back in a short time, so I deliberately delayed your death. But I was lucky, everything went smoothly, and I quickly got you back. I want my body back."
"Why? Didn't you say that was an order to die? Why did you lie to me?"
"What's the point? As long as you know you're not dead, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
"Tell me quickly." Chen Ling suddenly raised his voice.
"You must know."
"Say it." Chen Ling shouted directly.
"Well, I have nothing to hide. To tell you the truth, I thought you were a chess piece that could be abandoned, but I hesitated in the end because I didn't want to let you go. But, I also want to know what you are. Will you die for me, so..."
"So you're testing me, right? You've slept with me for so many days, and you haven't felt my sincerity, have you?" Chen Lingdean frowned, his eyes a little moist.
"I didn't mean that."
"You just think that feelings are just whims, and you think we are just playing."
"I...I used to think so, but not anymore. I believe in your sincerity, and I can't bear to see you die."
"Then you know, Xiang Mao and I talked heart-to-heart for several hours. Do you know what I said?"
"I am not sure."
"I said that I love Jiang Ze very much, but I also hate Jiang Ze very much. I also said that after that day, I was free. But unexpectedly, I was not free." A few tears rolled down from the corners of Chen Ling's eyes.
"Relief? Why do you have such thoughts?" Jiang Ze was a little surprised.
"Because I know very well how much weight I have in your heart. I am just a plaything for you to vent on, and a pawn that can die for you at any time."
"Don't think so. I told you that I have changed my mind about you."
"Jiang Ze, do you know that I'm not that great? When I led the troops east, my heart was cold. Do you think I am willing to die? No one would be willing to die voluntarily, but I had to go, This is your order. Do you know my inner struggle? I hate myself, my incompetence and humbleness, my inability to resist you. I even wonder in my heart, after I die, will you drop a drop for me? Tears, if I can, I will die without regrets. Originally, I was humble and insignificant, but I am still alive now. How do you want me to face you in the future? "
"Don't think too much, okay? I admit that I treated you badly before, but I regret it. I will treat you seriously in the future, I really will treat you seriously." Jiang Ze quickly coaxed.
"How serious are you? Will you only recognize me? Will you give up caring about me?"
"Isn't this... a bit much?" Jiang Ze hesitated.
"My mentality has changed. I don't want to be so humble anymore, nor do I want to share a man with other people, but I know that you will not change, because I know you too well, and you will not change. To be honest, You should have let me die there."
"Why do you have such thoughts? I thought that if you were alive, I would be better to you, and we would all be happy. Why do you have such strange thoughts?" Jiang Ze felt that Chen Ling was a little confused.
"I don't know, I don't know why, or those six hours are the most authentic and relaxed self. Besides love, I feel more hatred for you."
"Then what do you want?" Jiang Ze became a little angry.
"Set me free. Since I met you, I am no longer relaxed and happy. I don't want to live for you anymore. I want to try to live for myself."
"For yourself? So you think you were happier before? Do you think you are happier being an amorous woman again?" Jiang Ze's temper suddenly burst out.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I a promiscuous woman? So you've always viewed me like this?"
"You are inherently sentimental, and no man can stay with you for a long time. To put it bluntly, you just want to return to your love-minded nature now. You want to break up with me, right?" Jiang Ze said excitedly.
"You don't understand. You still don't understand me from beginning to end." Chen Ling was shaking with anger.
"If you want to break up, just say so and don't make a bunch of excuses, okay?"
"Go away, go away! I don't want to see you." Chen Lingliang shouted with tears in his eyes.
"What you said? Don't regret it?" Jiang Ze shouted.
"I told you to leave."
"Just leave! It's inexplicable and unreasonable."
In this way, Jiang Ze left the villa, leaving Chen Ling alone on the bed, crying silently.
Jiang Ze was good at guessing people's hearts, but he couldn't understand a woman's thoughts. He couldn't figure out why Chen Ling seemed to have gone crazy when something that should have made everyone happy.
In order to seek answers, Jiang Ze contacted Gu Nian and had a good chat with her.
After hearing the general situation, Gu Nian was a little confused. However, she still made a rough guess and said: "Chen Ling is actually more proud than anyone else. From childhood to adulthood, people who pursue her have been lining up from the streets to the end. Moreover, Chen Ling is indeed very good-looking and belongs to the kind of transcendent The type that looks better. Even Xiang Mao probably has thoughts about Chen Ling. Maybe the six hours of conversation between Chen Ling and Xiang Mao opened his heart."
"You mean Chen Ling has fallen in love with Xiang Mao?" Jiang Ze was shocked.
"I really don't dare to judge this, but the relationship between Xiang Mao and Chen Ling is not ordinary, and Xiang Mao actually threatened to kill you to avenge Chen Ling. I also heard that Xiang Mao was behind Chen Ling's promotion. "
"Okay, let me think about it again." Jiang Ze hung up the phone. He didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
For some reason, Jiang Ze didn't dare to think about it. He couldn't accept that Chen Ling fell in love with Xiang Mao.
However, many things are like this. The more you dare not think about it, the more you will worry about it. Jiang Ze increasingly felt that Xiang Mao and Chen Ling had an unusual relationship. Otherwise, why would Xiang Mao spend six hours talking to Chen Ling. It is really unreasonable that they are obviously a hostile force and they still spend five or six hours even though they are in a hurry.
After that, Jiang Ze seemed to be possessed by a demon and began to frantically inquire about the former officials of Nuer City. He wanted to inquire about anything related to Xiang Mao and Chen Ling, even if it was gossip.
After asking around for a few days, I found out that Xiang Mao had really helped Chen Ling a lot, and he had always helped silently. There were some things that Chen Ling probably didn't know about either.
Jiang Ze was troubled, even angry. This was an indescribable discomfort. In order to solve problems, he often came to Gu Nian to vent his anger.
Once, Gu Nian suddenly broke out and cursed at Jiang Ze: "What are you doing? I told you I don't know how to do this. If you want it, go find Chen Ling."
Gu Nian's words directly touched Jiang Ze's thunder. He suddenly choked Gu Nian and said viciously: "Don't mention Chen Ling to me."
Gu Nian was choked so hard that she couldn't speak. She kept slapping Jiang Ze's hand and struggling.
Seeing that Gu Nian's face was red from holding back, Jiang Ze immediately let go of Gu Nian, then hugged her and kept saying sorry.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it..."
Gu Nian looked at Jiang Ze and kept shaking his head: "Didn't you notice? You are a little abnormal."
"I'm not normal, how could I not be normal?" Jiang Ze said with his eyes widened.
"You...you have fallen in love with Chen Ling."
"What? It's impossible. No one I love can fall in love with her. It's you I love. It's you." Jiang Ze hugged Gu Nian with all his strength and hugged her tightly.
"Take it easy, calm down." Gu Nian was almost choked to death.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jiang Ze immediately relaxed his strength.
"Can you let me go? I'll get you a glass of water and calm down." Gu Nian said with tears.
"Okay." Jiang Ze slowly let go of Gu Nian, but his expression was still a little dazed.
Gu Nian quickly stood up and poured a glass of water for Jiang Ze.
Jiang Ze drank a glass of ice water and slowly calmed down.
After the two were silent for several minutes, Jiang Ze spoke again: "I have calmed down."
"In the past few days, apart from handling military and political affairs during the day, you tend to have random thoughts when you are free at night. Haven't you noticed?"
"I... of course I know, I have tried to control it, but I don't know why." Jiang Ze frowned.
"Do you know what this is? It's called worrying about gain and loss. When you have it, or when someone else gives it to you, you don't know how to cherish it at all. When you feel like you are going to lose it, you find that you can't bear it."
"Chen Ling is really good at it. At first, she was hot but cold. When I started to pay attention to her, she actually did this to me." Jiang Ze seemed to not know how to reflect on himself. In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Jiang Ze. .
Back then, Yi Tianpeng gave Jiang Ze a lot of knowledge from top scholars, but he did not give Jiang Ze a wealth of emotional knowledge. In other words, Jiang Ze is very unfamiliar with love, and he needs to experience it step by step before he understands what love is and what pornography is.
Jiang Ze raised his head, looked at the lamp on the ceiling, and sighed: "Once upon a time, I just regarded her as a plaything, but now, I actually...I am obsessed with her...Is this my retribution?"
