This Damned Thirst for Survival
chapter-211-30041322

Wen Renlian walked out of the room and put a smile on his face, rubbing his brow and going to Ge Zhu with a sad face.

Ge Zhu is waiting for him nervously.

Wen Renlian and he looked at each other for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Why do I always feel sorry for Jiang Luo 呢...... Ge Wuchen This method always feels ...... "

It never quite feels right.

But remembering Ge Wuchen's confident expression, Wen Renlian didn't say the rest.

In the last few days of the 15-day deadline, Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian were at a loss as to what to do, and even tried to bite the bullet and tell Jiang Luo the whole truth.

But on the one hand, they were afraid that Jiang Luo would resent Chi You and become estranged from him, which would affect the couple's relationship - even though Chi You had threatened them, but knowing that Jiang Luo also liked Chi You, Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu Even though Chi You had threatened them, knowing that Jiang Luo also liked Chi You, Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu had no intention of telling Jiang Luo what Chi You had threatened them.

On the other hand, they were also afraid that Chi You might really go crazy.

In the midst of this indecision to tell or not to tell, Ge Wuchen suddenly offered them a way out, and Ge Wuchen didn't even need Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu to do anything but show Jiang Luo a photo and say a few words.

Ge Wuchen persuaded Wen Renlian through tactful conversation, talking him into a daze and leading him into a ditch where Wen Renlian felt as confused as if a grey gauze had been placed over his head. But after walking out of Jiang Luo's room, Wen Renlian suddenly came to his senses and felt something was wrong.

He and Ge Zhu looked at each other and together the two men floated a solution.

Is Ge Wuchen really reliable?

But Ge Wuchen said that he was the one who helped Chi You and Jiang Luo settle down as lovers, so I guess that's reliable ......

But Wen Renlian always had the feeling that he and Ge Zhu had been set up by Ge Wuchen.

This feeling made him feel a little uneasy and vaguely regretful of what he had just done. He looked at Ge Zhu, who was even more fidgety, and knew that Ge Zhu was also unsure.

Although Ge Zhu and Ge Wuchen had cleared up some misunderstandings, Ge Zhu still remembered Ge Wuchen's cunning and treachery. He licked his dry lips, and after looking at Wen Renlian face to face for a while, he hesitated, "Why don't ...... we tell the truth to Jiang Luo."

Wen Renlian also felt that something was wrong, his mind buzzing with the thought of Jiang Luo's uncertain appearance with the photograph, and a sudden jolt in his heart, a growing sense of foreboding.

If Jiang Luo found out ...... Wen Renlian steeply clenched his fist, thinking that retreating is also a move, and that if they tell the truth, it might make Jiang Luo take the initiative to talk to Chi You.

He nodded cautiously, "Okay, talk to him. But we can't tell Jiang Luo what Chi You threatened us with, otherwise the two of them would be really bad together, do you have any good ideas?"

Ge Zhu shook his head.

They both sighed and began to discuss how to hide Chi You's threats from them and redact the truth from Jiang Luo.

As they racked their brains for a way to make up the story, the two men could not help but feel a deep sense of resentment towards Chi You.

This can be a real ...... mess that they end up having to clean up after the person they are threatening.

*

Jiang Luo is in a very bad mood.

To be honest, the Chi You in the photo is at most giving a look and a smile, but nothing else, but Jiang Luo still looks furious.

If Jiang Luo had seen this photo before Chi You jumped into the Longquan for him, he would have just laughed and beaten Chi You up before he broke up with Chi You. But after Chi You risked his life to save him from the Longquan, Jiang Luo had already taken Chi You into his heart, and he couldn't break up with him for nothing because of a photo and Chi You's bullshit life saver.

Jiang Luo took a deep breath, got up from the bed and walked to the window to blow the cold air.

Reason began to question the fact that Chi You could not believe that he would like someone else, especially because he had been saved. According to the character of the evil spirits, even if they were saved, they would only be a farmer and a snake, and the "farmer" would only be bitten to death by the evil spirits who would not reveal their weakness.

But emotionally, he was still very, very angry, allowing reason to be clouded by rage enough.

Jiang Luo looked at the distant mountain scenery, with its rolling hills and misty clouds, and he spent half a day looking at it but nothing came into his eyes.

He felt himself at this moment, full of jealousy and jealousy in addition to anger.

Jiang Luo is a man who does not care for love, or rather, he is jealous and fearful of it, among other negative emotions. His youthful experiences made him sick of being too close, and he was stingy in surrendering trust.

In the world outside and inside the book, Jiang Luo doesn't show his true self even to his friends like Lu Youyi Wen Renlian, but all his bad sides are shown to Chi You, who falls in love with such a bad and true man.

The evil spirit melts Jiang Luo with 100% love, prying open Jiang Luo's self-imposed shell and making Jiang Luo reveal his heart to him.

Once Jiang Luo has taken him into his heart, he will never let Chi You go again.

If Chi You really likes someone else.

Jiang Luo's eyes were cold as he slowly calmed down, all the emotions in his heart gradually settling into a terrible paranoia.

I am so sorry.

He will kill Chi You and then the one he likes.

He will let Chi You die by his hand, and he will not let Chi You have the chance to betray him.

Jiang Luo rolled out of bed and went to Ge Zhu with an expressionless face.

Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian were together, and when they saw him coming, they stood up stiffly, both with a look of apprehension and uncertainty.

Jiang Luo said directly, "Give me Ge Wuchen's contact information."

Ge Zhu dutifully gave it to him.

Jiang Luo took it and left, completely oblivious to the looks on their faces as they tried to say something. He did not go back to his room, but went straight down the hill. On the way down, Jiang Luo dialed Ge Wuchen's phone.

Ge Wuchen, as if he had been waiting for him, immediately picked up, "Master Jiang?"

Jiang Luo's face didn't waver, "Give Chi You the phone."

His voice was so condensed that Ge Wuchen dared not fail to comply, and after a few moments he handed the phone to Chi You.

Jiang Luo didn't need Chi You to open his mouth, he said directly, "Where are you."

Chi You said, "Number nine restaurant."

Jiang Luo hung up the phone straight away.

He went on the map and looked up the location of the Nine Restaurant and well, it was right next to a hospital.

Jiang Luo laughed coldly twice, a sour taste in his stomach making him uncomfortable. Once seated in the car, in the calm cramped cabin, he forced himself to calm down and to notice one thing that was wrong after another.

He had no contact details for Ge Wuchen, but why would Ge Wuchen say "Master Jiang" when he answered his phone?

And Ge Wuchen looked like he was waiting for a phone call from Jiang Luo on purpose.

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes, quickly detecting more odd points from this slight inconsistency. Would Chi You take someone out to a restaurant? Would Chi You like that type of person?

The entire table is filled with Chi You's, but there is no Liao Si in it.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Is he ...... being ripped off?

After realising that he might have been tricked, Jiang Luo pushed the image of Chi You and his rescuer "smiling at each other" out of his mind, closed his eyes and began to put the whole thing together.

Last night he went out and met Ge Zhu and Ge Wuchen on the phone, which was a coincidence.

One coincidence can be explained, how else can this be explained when so many are put together?

And the performance of Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian ......

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I think about it, who is Wen Renlian hearing all this gossip from?

Ge Wuchen? Does Ge Wuchen really dare to tell anyone about Chi You?

Little by little, Jiang Luo draws out the threads and becomes more and more certain that he has been jointly tricked in a game. Most likely Chi You was trying to trick him into being jealous, so that he would come to him senselessly over a photo and a few words, as he did now.

Having come to this conclusion, Jiang Luo was inexplicably in a better mood. Noticing the change in himself, he blushes.

Jiang Luo's lips curled up at the corners instead, as his anger increased.

It looks a bit oozy.

Having seen through the scam, he did not turn back, but urged the driver to speed up.

His face became more calm, even a little more in control of the situation.

Shit.

Douchebag.

Jiang Luo wanted to give Chi You a good talking to and then questioned Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu as to why they were helping Chi You to cheat him.

Jiang Luo is almost laughing when his friend helps his boyfriend against himself.

But now is not the time to get excited, and Jiang Luo plans to find out exactly what Chi You is up to and who all plays a part in it.

And then one by one to vent their anger.

Within minutes of thinking this, however, Wen Renlian called him on the phone.

Jiang Luo looked at the phone with uncertainty, and only after a moment did he pick it up. He hid the fire in his heart, " Wen Ren ?"

" Jiang Luo ," Ge Zhu's voice rang out on the other side of the room, and Ge Zhu mumbled, "We want to say sorry to you ......"

Jiang Luo's taut lips loosened slightly, but he still asked coldly, "Why do you say you're sorry?"

"Because we lied to you," Wen Renlian said sheepishly, "Chi You didn't save your life, it was Ge Wuchen's idea, and Chi You didn't seem to know he took the picture... ..."

There is no denying that Jiang Luo's heart softened abruptly when he heard these words.

Not because this saviour is really a fake, but because of Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu's peace of mind.

Jiang Luo is not angry with his friends, who have been friends for a long time. He leans back comfortably in his chair and asks in a low voice, "You lied to me?"

Ge Zhu and Wen Renlian on the other end of the line were in a state of shock.

They dared not delay any longer and were busy telling the embellished story. Specifically hiding Chi You's threat, "He said he wanted to hear your confession and asked us to help him along to get you to make your feelings known to him, and if we succeeded, he would find out the date of Teng Bi's death and tell us."

Jiang Luo, after being stunned, cried out in disbelief and wondered, "Is that all?"

Chi You went to all that trouble just to hear his confession?

"Yes, that's it," Wen Renlian said bitterly, "we tried you out and knew you liked him too. So we took it upon ourselves to work with him. I'm sorry, Jiang Luo, that we kept it from you."

When he finished, he sighed lightly and quickly.

It's been so hard to hide from my friends, and these fifteen days are now the easiest Wen Renlian has ever felt.

As Jiang Luo listened to this sigh, he felt as if the anger in his heart had also been sighed out.

Jiang Luo's heart was indeed cold after he guessed that he had been deceived by Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu. However, Jiang Luo's heart softened after they apologised and explained everything in good faith.

But he disliked this way of deceiving him.

Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu offered to apologise and Jiang Luo planned to talk to them later, saying that he would forgive them, but not now. Jiang Luo didn't believe them when they said that Chi You didn't know either.

As for Ge Wuchen ......

Jiang Luo laughed coldly twice, and instead of directly saying that he would forgive Wen Renlian and the two men, he said with a cold swish of air, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and let them be apprehensive and anxious; it amounted to a punishment.

An hour and a half later, Jiang Luo arrived at Hotel Nine.

Ge Wuchen was standing in the lobby of the restaurant with a room card in his hand. When he saw Jiang Luo, there was a twinkle in his eyes and he wanted to say something but then stopped, "Master Jiang ......"

Jiang Luo, however, curled his mouth into a smile and leisurely took the room card from Ge Wuchen's hand, deliberately putting on a happy face, " Ge Wuchen, what a great day today."

Ge Wuchen's face faltered slightly as Jiang Luo's move clearly took him by surprise.

Jiang Luo smiled and kissed the room card, his whole body relaxed, "I heard that Chi You is in love with someone else? And that person is his saviour? Pfft, hahahahaha, this is a great thing, I can finally break up with Chi You. Ge Wuchen, it's your fault too, I'll treat you to dinner when I break up with Chi You."

He patted Ge Wuchen on the shoulder with heartfelt thanks and made his way to the lift with a smile on his face.

Ge Wuchen stiffened into stone, and it was only after the lift doors slowly closed that a look of horror snapped into his eyes.

This is not at all what he had in mind!

Jiang Luo's expression turns smirking as soon as the lift door closes.

Ge Wuchen's reaction reaffirms Jiang Luo's suspicions. But now that Jiang Luo has the situation under control, Jiang Luo wants to go along with the plan and see how Chi You will behave.

He was still a little suspicious, wondering if Chi You really didn't know? Was it really just a ludicrous attempt to force him to confess his love in this way?

Then this is too easy.

Jiang Luo made his way to the door of the room and pushed it open to see Chi You sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window waiting for him.

Jiang Luo closes the door and his emotions come up all at once as he looks grimly at his back.

Chi You turned around to see his eyes on the verge of eating him, and instead the evil spirit laughed out loud, "There you are."

He looked so pleased with himself that Jiang Luo's fists hardened and he wanted to smash them into his annoying face. Jiang Luo sneered, his expression covered in ice, "Who is he."

Chi You took a step towards him and, to Jiang Luo's surprise, he admitted dryly, "One of my puppets, a body for Liao Si."

Jiang Luo froze, his expression turning strange.

I'm surprised he just admitted it.

Jiang Luo's heart felt better as he looked at Chi You with a smirk, "What do you mean, are you playing a trick on me or lying to me? Or are you really in love with some life-saver and are afraid to tell me?"

Chi You raised his hand to touch Jiang Luo's cheek, but it was clutched by Jiang Luo's fierce, cold eyes, but Chi You's heart felt wonderful, and he said with a low smile, "That was all a lie."

Without Jiang Luo even having to ask, he went on to be frank: "Because I want to hear your confession."

Grass.

Did you really pull this fucking stunt just for his confession?

Jiang Luo's expression is clouded, as if he does not believe the evil spirit.

The evil spirit whispered, "I heard a conversation you once had with Wen Renlian in which you told him that you would break up with me if I gave up destroying the occult world."

He said, "You make me feel very insecure."

It could have been said by anyone, but not by Chi You. Jiang Luo got goosebumps as soon as he said it, barely managing to keep the condensed look on his face, "Really?"

Jiang Luo did not hold back this time and slammed his fist into the evil spirit's abdomen.

This punch was delivered with all his strength, and the evil spirit stumbled back two steps, slightly denting his abdomen. Chi You gave a seemingly genuine "hiss" and looked up at Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo moved his wrist, " Chi You, you're really something, you dare to use this method to fool me. Oh, I haven't let my anger out yet, if you don't want to really break up with me, then let me take it out properly. I fucking thought you didn't know about this and weren't involved in this, so you did?"

He looked around and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window to lower the bed curtains and take away the ties that held them in place.

Jiang Luo pushes Chi You onto the bed and binds his hands to the head of the bed, all the while his face is expressionless.

"I did not know," said the evil spirit, whose abdomen was slowly recovering, "until Ge Wuchen told me today, that I knew what he had done."

Jiang Luo snorted, "You think I'd believe that?"

Jiang Luo and Chi You's lover's relationship is not the same as a normal lover's relationship.

Perhaps one of them is crazy and the other is evil, so they cheat, tease each other and give each other trouble for fun. They can understand each other just as well, trust each other, and love each other deeply. This is their unique way of being together and their love for each other.

Jiang Luo got screwed this time and he could have conceded defeat, but he didn't like the way it went down.

One photograph made him realise how possessive he was of the evil spirit, but Jiang Luo doesn't want there to be a next time.

Men need to be tempered, and evil spirits even more so.

Jiang Luo, having tied him up, straddled Chi You in bed and sat handsomely on top of him, his fists clenched and raining down on Chi You.

His anger, jealousy and envy poured out in one heavy fist.

"Say," Jiang Luo pulled out Chi You's belt and lifted his shirt to reveal his abdomen, looking down at the evil spirit, his red lips coldly pursed, "who gave you the idea."

He gave Chi You a chance to tell the truth.

" Ge Wuchen, and your two friends that I threatened, Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu ," the evil spirit said in full, as he said seemingly, "they really did their best and went to a lot of trouble, especially your two friends, and I owe it all to them."

Fairly honest.

Jiang Luo thought this in his heart, but followed his words and deliberately lowered his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth straightened, " Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu ......"

He clenched his hand violently, with the look of a friend who had hurt his heart so much that it was cold.

The evil spirit's smile deepened and he asked, somewhat expectantly, "Are you sure you don't want to say anything to me?"

"Say what?" Jiang Luo opened his eyes, the ends of his eyes teasing up in mockery, "That you are mine and if you dare touch anyone, anyone who dares touch you, I will kill you all together?"

The evil spirit laughed lowly as he said pleasantly, "That's good too."

Jiang Luo tried to sneer, but as soon as his lips opened, he closed them again. Because Jiang Luo could see clearly that Chi You was genuinely happy, even a little comfortable.

He was in a good mood because of Jiang Luo's snide remark.

Jiang Luo realises in this moment that Chi You really cares about his 'confession'.

Jiang Luo was silent for a moment, "I thought the half month I spent hiding out in the deep woods with you was enough to show my attitude."

The evil spirit looked at him in silence.

He said, "That's not enough."

The evil spirit paused, "Especially if you plan to break up with me, that's not enough."

Jiang Luo was suddenly burning with rage again, and in this moment he couldn't tell if he was acting or exploding with real emotion, Jiang Luo slammed another punch onto the bed grazing Chi You's cheek, "So you let Ge Wuchen and my friends come together to deceive me?!"

He was breathing harder and harder, "If I didn't like you, would I have kissed you that once before you left? If I didn't like you, would I have slept with you three fucking times? You're fucking blind or stupid! Wouldn't you have asked me if you wanted to hear something like that?"

By the end of his sentence, he was roaring.

Jiang Luo's eyes burned red and his anger was directed straight at Chi You. Chi You jerked free, sat up from the bed and hugged him.

Satiated, delighted, all the emotions exploded into fireworks, causing the evil spirit's arms to tighten around Jiang Luo as he pressed him gently to the bed.

The bed was cluttered by the constant struggle and the bed creaked and rattled. Jiang Luo's hair is brushed against his head and he hears the evil spirit repeating itself over and over in his ears.

"I'm happy, Jiang Luo ," he whispered, "I'm happy."

Jiang Luo opened his mouth to gasp slightly and Chi You took the knot of his throat, kissing him deeply again to Jiang Luo's muffled grunts.

The kiss was so deep that the evil spirit's desire to love and possess was revealed in all its glory, and Jiang Luo, after a moment of breathless indifference, did not respond.

The evil spirits were as sincere as they were against him, their fingers dancing over Jiang Luo's body, trying to light Jiang Luo's fire.

The air became hotter and hotter as the ambiguous sounds echoed slowly around the room. After the kiss was over, Jiang Luo's lips tingled a little, and as he watched the dark fire grind out of the evil spirit's face, Jiang Luo raised his hand to touch his lips.

His eyes were fogged over and he looked a little lost in thought.

The evil spirit laughed twice and whispered in Jiang Luo's ear, "Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu have deceived you."

Jiang Luo's eyes darkened in tandem.

The evil spirit continued unhurriedly, as if compelling, "You see, friends who are trusted by you so much will also betray you for others. They will deceive you and will value many things more than you ...... Why do you still trust people like that?"

The evil spirit's words hit Jiang Luo squarely in the wound, and as Jiang Luo "loses his mind", he continues to speak of Wen Renlian and Ge Zhu's betrayal of Jiang Luo.

"None of your friends are worthy of your trust, Jiang Luo, all of them, no matter who they are, they will betray you ......"

The evil ghost lifted Jiang Luo's chin and looked deeply into Jiang Luo's eyes. The dark eyes of the evil ghost revealed a more important purpose that had been hidden for fifteen days, a dark and treacherous display of the evil ghost's dictatorial-like possessiveness. Renlian's trust in them.

Jiang Luo's trust and regard for his friends is particularly profound, and his friends can even influence Jiang Luo's decision to stay with Chi You, whether in private calls or in protective intimacy, so how could this not make the evil spirits jealous?

The evil spirit then threatens his friends and suggests that Ge Wuchen is misleading them, and by doing so, tries to sow discord between Jiang Luo and his friends.

The evil spirit wanted to cut off any overly deep emotions between humans and Jiang Luo, his voice low as if hypnotic, "The only person you can really trust in this world is me."

"Only I can make you trust and only I can protect you. Understand? Jiang Luo ."

Jiang Luo snapped out of it with a jolt of pleasure.

Ohhhhh ......

He seems to have caught the real purpose of Chi You.
