Chapter 108: Gentle Human x Fierce Wolf Beast 20

Jin Xiao Villa.

After Jian Tong returned, he took painkillers, but the throbbing in his forehead remained as intense as before. Despite the unbearable pain, he tried his best to endure it without complaint.

“…” This headache is killing me!

Seeing this, Li Xiao held him in his arms, gently massaging his head and staying by his side with utmost care. “Darling, it was my negligence this time. I promise nothing like this will ever happen again.”

He looked down at Jian Tong’s expression, ensuring he wasn’t angry, then continued, “I beat Jin Sui up, and he’s in the hospital now. He won’t be out for at least six months.”

If Jin Sui had truly harmed Jian Tong, Li Xiao would have skinned him alive.

Jian Tong replied indifferently, “He deserved it. Kidnapping me was his mistake to begin with.”

“That He Jie… was he arranged by you?”

He Jie had come to treat Jian Tong, and Li Xiao had followed shortly after to rescue him. There was no way this was a coincidence.

Li Xiao nodded lightly. “Yes. We’ve known each other since college. I paid him to help me this time.”

He hesitated, then asked, “Your illness…”

“I already know about your past, but I can’t help you return home.”

Going back from the 26th century to the 21st century—it’s impossible for anyone, let alone him.

Jian Tong, of course, understood and didn’t press Li Xiao to do the impossible.

“It’s fine. I understand.”

He leaned against Li Xiao’s shoulder, showing a rare display of dependence that he hadn’t shown in front of Jin Sui.

“Enough talking… my head hurts so much…”

Li Xiao continued massaging Jian Tong’s head, using his limited massage skills to ease the young man’s pain, gradually relaxing his furrowed brow.

Jian Tong closed his eyes, placing his hand over his chest.

The pain in his heart had subsided, but the headache that had plagued him for days remained.

Li Xiao looked at his pale partner, his murderous intent barely concealed.

How… how did it come to this?

He tenderly kissed Jian Tong’s forehead, holding him even tighter. Li Xiao’s gaze shifted downward, and when he saw the red marks on Jian Tong’s ankles, his expression turned cold. He wished he could beat Jin Sui up all over again.

That damn tiger! Doesn’t know when to quit!

Jian Tong fell asleep peacefully in Li Xiao’s arms. When he woke up, he saw Li Xiao typing with a grim expression, his brows furrowed with worry.

Noticing Jian Tong was awake, Li Xiao quickly softened his expression and put away his communicator. “Darling, after you were taken, Xi Jing also went missing.”

“Cheng Jun and Ning Si were responsible for searching for him. They found him an hour ago.”

Jian Tong blinked but remained silent.

Xi Jing was still the protagonist of this world, protected by the halo of the main character. Even if he was kidnapped, he would only suffer some physical injuries.

Li Xiao frowned. “Xi Jing… he’s crippled.”

Jian Tong looked at him in confusion. “Crippled? Who kidnapped him?”

Li Xiao uttered a name, “Luo Yi. After the Luo family went bankrupt, he fled. A few days ago, he sneaked back and kidnapped Xi Jing.”

He tried to choose his words carefully, but what he said was still shocking.

“During the time Xi Jing was held captive, Luo Yi conducted illegal human experiments on him and removed several of his vital organs.”

He glanced at Jian Tong’s expression and added, “Although Ning Si and the others rescued him, Xi Jing will likely never be able to walk again.”

Jian Tong thought to himself, What is this? The protagonist and the main male lead fighting among themselves?

He pursed his lips and asked, “What about Luo Yi? How did Ning Si deal with him?”

Li Xiao helped Jian Tong sit up halfway. “Luo Yi has already been executed. The experimental data he obtained from Xi Jing was intercepted by Cheng Jun.”

“Cheng Jun will handle the aftermath. Xi Jing is under Ning Si’s care now. You just focus on recovering. Don’t worry about their affairs.”

Jian Tong pinched his fingertips, his long, straight fingers tinged with a faint pink. “Li Xiao, you…”

“Can you help me find the location of City C? I want to revisit my old hometown.”

Since he couldn’t return to the 21st century, he could only search for his original home in the 26th century, hoping to dispel the lingering resentment.

Li Xiao nodded solemnly. “I’ll look into it. You will definitely recover.”

His last words were spoken with such determination that Jian Tong couldn’t help but smile.

“I will get better.”
