My Amazing Boyfriend

Chapter 10: Don’t Save a Monster, Even If You Are Bored

And so, that was how Tian Jingzhi wasted her precious day off. She struggled for a whole night, not only feeding the monster blood, but also dragging him back from the building. The wound on her palm opened and after she came back, she started to have a runny nose. When she woke up the next morning, she had a stuffy nose and was dizzy. Her open wound had become inflamed. Tian Jingzhi had a fever and was unable to go out to work. 

Tian Jingzhi is livid and she was on a short fuse. If she wasn’t short on money, she even had the thought of setting her house on fire. 

“I had nothing better to do and went to save some monster. Should have just let him die, he’s already lived for over five hundred years. My brian must have shut off!”

Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone was knocking on the door.

Tian Jingzhi was still in a bad mood when she opened the door. Seeing Xue Lingqiao, she coldly said, “I don’t need your ‘thank you’, I already regret saving you.” 

Xue Lingqiao walked into her room and sat down, “Let's talk.” 

“Talk about what? I'm not interested in everything about you. It's your own business to be deceived. I just hope you leave as soon as possible. I'm already very unlucky, don't cause me any more trouble.” Thinking about yesterday’s event, Tian Jingzhi sneered, “And you said you would protect me? Who is protecting who now? You men are always like this: making casual promises and then forgetting them in a blink of an eye. Yeah, of course, it's not a crime, so it’s ok.”

Xue Lingqiao silently listened toTian Jingzhi's firecracker-like rant and thought it was very good. Yes, he must have frozen his brain yesterday, otherwise, why would he feel that her now was very good? 

“Where were you when I was cut by a knife? How were you going to protect me? Now, I'm hurt, dizzy and unable to work…”

Xue Lingqiao grabbed her waist with one hand. Tian Jingzhi was startled and opened her mouth wide in surprise. With the other hand, Xue Lingqiao pinched her chin and kissed her. 

His dark eyes were right in front of her. They were sparkling like a meteor shower, the intimacy made it hard for breathing, and Tian Jingzhi forgot how to react. 

Badump. Badump.

Xue Lingqiao let go of her and sat back with a calm expression. And she was still immersed in the state of being kissed, dazed and frozen in place. 

“Xue Lingqiao, how dare you... do... do that!” 

She was so angry that she couldn't speak. Tian Jingzhi raised her hand and wanted to slap him, but Xue Lingqiao quickly grabbed her wrist. He took her injured hand and removed the gauze from it. Tian Jingzhi struggled hard to resist. She said in a panic, “Let go of me! What are you doing?! I’ll report you for sexual harassment!”

When the gauze fell off, Tian Jingzhi saw her palm with a wound. Her cut had disappeared without a trace, and she was once again unable to make any sense, “What happened?”

Xue Lingqiao lightly said, “I will protect you.”

“I'm just asking what happened.” Tian Jingzhi reached out and touched her lips and found blood on her finger, “What did you make me swallow?” 

“It takes time for a human’s wound to heal. Otherwise it'll arouse suspicion. You know what happened yesterday, I was too weak to feed you blood.” Xue Lingqiao paused and finally said, “I’m very sorry.”

Xue Lingqiao had forgotten how long ago he had to apologize to someone. He had never owed anyone except his parents. 

“Stop!” Tian Jingzhi closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to adjust her mood. Then, she put on a gentle, calm smile, “Let's sort out some things for you right now. Firstly, you are the fastest moving animal on earth. Secondly, other than birds, flies, mosquitoes, bats, and airplanes, you are the only one who can fly…” Tian Jingzhi paused, “No, that doesn’t count as flying.”

“I explained it before. It's not really flying, I just fill the lungs with hydrogen in the air. Filling every cell in the body to be able to achieve the purpose of a higher jump and to be able to remain in the air for a short period of time... I usually can jump higher, you are just too heavy.” 

“I see! So you are like a hydrogen balloon sold on the street. In addition, Miss Tian’s body fat is perfectly controlled! I am not heavy at all!” 

Xue Lingqiao smiled, but did not refute her.

“Okay, whatever! ... Third of all, your blood is a super medicine that can cure any disease and wound. So after my car accident, not only did I not die, but also all my previous illnesses also disappeared?” Tian Jingzhi was excited by the magical experience. She looked at him with a smile, “How come you didn’t tell me of such a great thing?” 

“Whenever I try to tell you, you would cover your ears and say 'I don't want to know anything about you' and run away.” 

Tian Jingzhi realized he was speaking the truth, but she still had to teach him a lesson. 

“Then you should also pull my hand and try harder to tell me. Like those idol dramas, where the man says ‘listen to me’ and the woman replies ‘I won’t listen’. Then they start looping like a broken record. The dialogue is repeated over and over, until all misunderstandings have been resolved…” 

Xue Lingqiao was curious, “Idol dramas? How can it be like idol dramas?

Tian Jingzhi thought about it seriously, “Purely based on appearance, we can be considered an idol drama. However, in terms of what happened, this is more like a thriller movie.” 

Xue Lingqiao looked confused, but he nodded anyway. 

Just then the doorbell rang. Tian Jingzhi looked at Xue Lingqiao subconsciously. When their eyes met, Tian Jingzhi asked him if it was Feng Dongdong and he shook his head, “No, there are three people at the door, and three others are watching from the car parked in front of the door.” 

To be so flamboyant, it must be Zhang Xuanxuan. She brought her bodyguards and probably also her family. 

They must have seen the entertainment news and found out about her injury. Too bad her injury has already healed! Tian Jingzhi was stunned for two seconds, then quickly rewrapped her palm with the gauze. And then, she realized Xue Lingqiao was still living here as a tenant, “Quick, Monster Xue, hurry up and hide!”

Xue Lingqiao was confused, “Why do I need to hide?” 

Tian Jingzhi was in full panic, “Hurry up! Stop talking nonsense or I will take back your right of residence!”
