The door of the intensive care unit opened and a group of people rushed in. An anaesthetic needle pierced into Ayer’s neck. Ayer’s body stopped moving and then slowly fell limp on Tang Tingzhi’s body. This lavender scaled blond-haired Dragon Blood Man slowly moved his tail a few times before passing out.
Crow wiped off his sweat, “Colonel, I already told you that it’s very dangerous. It’s fortunate that he doesn’t know how to attack and fight in the form of a Dragon Blood Man yet. Otherwise, Ayer Mauri would be extremely dangerous. Even when he was a human being, he was difficult to deal with.”
Tang Tingzhi sat up from the ground with a pale face. He slowly covered himself.
He lifted Ayer’s eyelids to look at his eyeballs. He then unconsciously inserted his fingers into Ayer’s thick but soft blond hair. After that, he slowly lifted the heavy head from his stomach, “Take him and put him on to the bed.”
Several people came over and lifted Ayer up. When Ayer was put on the bed, he had already transformed back to his human form. His symptoms were very common. The Dragon Blood Man who had just evolved successfully could not maintain this form for a long time and would be unconscious for a while once he turned back into his human form.
An assistant asked Tang Tingzhi, “Colonel, should we tie him up?” He was about to take out the metal ring on the experimental bed.
“No.” Tang Tingzhi waved his hand to stop, “No need.”
“Colonel, what if he loses control and attacks people again…-“
Tang Tingzhi interrupted him while looking at Ayer with calm eyes, “-I will be responsible for all his training in the future.”
The assistant opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at Tang Tingzhi.
Tang Tingzhi is now the main person in charge of the Dragon Blood people project. The relatively low-tech work of training newly evolved Dragon Blood people is normally done by his assistants. It is simply overkill for Tang Tingzhi to do this himself instead.
“Colonel, then your safety is…-“
“-It’s okay. If he’s going to hurt me, he won’t save me.” He took out the syringe and drew some of Ayer’s blood, “This is his first transformation after he evolved. But it’s a pity that I didn’t get to draw his blood in his Dragon Blood form. This is his blood in his human form. First take it for testing. Judging only from its colour, the purity of his dragon blood should not be less than 50%. That is already very high.”
His assistant said excitedly, “Yeah. It’s been a long time since I met a Dragon Blood Man with blood purity of more than 50%. I will prepare for the tests and the various physical training in the early stages. This is really a miracle.”
Another scientific researcher also nodded and said: “It is indeed a miracle. Although his physical ability has passed the test, he met all the conditions for the evolution of a Dragon Blood Man without screening. He evolved successfully in such a simple and dangerous situation. This man is really lucky and amazing.”
Crow put away his anaesthetic needle and smiled at Tang Tingzhi. He said, “Colonel, I think he is destined for you.”
Tang Tingzhi said blankly, “Destiny is something that has no scientific basis.”
Crow said helplessly: “Colonel, you can occasionally believe in things that have no scientific basis. You always use science and data to measure things. If you keep doing this, you will not be able to marry a wife.”
Tang Tingzhi frowned, “There is no logical relationship between these two arguments.”
The others looked at them in blank dismay. They were all curious whether a strange person like Tang Tingzhi had the ability to develop feelings for other human beings.
When Tang Tingzhi was observing Ayer’s blood under the microscope, a fair and fat assistant slowly moved over, “Senior Colonel, now that we’ve talked about this. Last time, the chief introduced three girls to you. Do you have time to meet with them?”
Tang Tingzhi didn’t even turn his head as he answered, “Well, when I’m free.”
The assistant felt like crying. He was forced to solve Tang Tingzhi’s personal problems every day but he was pushed off again and again. It was really painful for him to deal with someone like Tang Tingzhi.
Tang Tingzhi said: “It’s time for my midnight snack. It’s getting late. You all go to rest.”
“What about you, Colonel?”
“I’ll work for a while.”
The people in the room slowly dispersed. Tang Tingzhi bit a bun as he kept entering data for comparison and conducted in-depth research on Ayer’s blood.
After a few hours, his eyes were sore and his judgement was affected. So he knew that it was time for him to rest.
Usually, he is a person who would stick to his routine. He would go to bed at ten o’clock every day. Unless there is an experiment that interests him, he will stay up late, such as today.
The preliminary research results made him very excited. Ayer is indeed a Dragon Blood Man with very high blood purity. Although it will not be confirmed until the blood of him in his Dragon Blood Man form is collected, the preliminary judgement is close to 60%! Dragon Blood people with a dragon blood purity of 60% or above were less than five in China. This makes him happy.
He rubbed his eyes and packed up the materials. As he was about to leave, he turned around to look at Ayer who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. His bright blond hair was softly spread out on the snow-white pillow, his handsome face and perfect figure were like those of Gods in Western European mythology.
Golden hair and purple scales. He is so beautiful… He is so strong and beautiful… Tang Tingzhi thought of Ayer’s transformation just now and his heart beat rapidly.
He couldn’t help but get closer to Ayer. With his slender fair fingers, he twirled the soft blond hair a few times around his fingertips.
It is so soft, he thought. It is as soft as this man’s lips.
Thinking of his lips, he couldn’t help but to touch Ayer’s lips. He gently pressed his fingertips on them. It was really soft.
He tucked Ayer in, turned off the light and left.
The next morning, Tang Tingzhi was woken up very early. The reason why he knew it was early was because he knew he didn’t sleep enough. He fell asleep at four in the morning and he didn’t get to sleep for seven hours. He shook his aching head and opened the door.
Outside the door was his chubby little assistant, Xiao Yuan. His face was flustered, “Colonel Sir, please go quickly. That foreigner is awake. He was fussing for you to come over or he will leave the intensive care unit. I’m afraid that he will transform. It’s scary.” Xiao Yuan patted his chest, looking overly frightened.
Tang Tingzhi washed up as quickly as possible. He then put on his clothes and hurried over.
When he arrived at the intensive care unit, he saw that Ayer was kneeling on the bed, holding a scalpel in his hand. His face was full of vigilance. Seven to eight armed security guards pointed guns at him, looking ready to fight.
Ayer saw him and yelled, “Tell them all to get out!”
Tang Tingzhi spread his palms and tried to comfort him, “Ayer, calm down. Don’t get angry. You know what will happen when you get angry.”
Ayer strongly suppressed his anger. Although his memory of what happened yesterday was very vague, he knew that he had transformed. It was caused by anger. So he deliberately restrained himself today. He didn’t want to be injected with anaesthesia again.
“Then tell them go out and don’t point a fucking gun at me.” He couldn’t stand being pointed at by a gun the most. If it wasn’t because he knew of his current situation, he would definitely attack them. This was his instinct.
Tang Tingzhi waved his hand, “Put the gun down.”
The men obeyed and lowered their guns.
Only then did Ayer’s stiff body relax a little.
Tang Tingzhi walked over slowly and approached him. He then held out his hand and said softly: “It’s okay. Don’t be nervous. No one here will hurt you.We all just wanted to help you.” He quietly held Ayer’s hand that was holding the scalpel.
Ayer let go of the scalpel in his hand and let him take it away. He then sat back on the bed and said angrily, “I don’t want to stay here. I’m not a frog for you to dissect.”
“Do you want to go back to your room?”
Ayer glared at him, “Since you won’t let me leave this place, at least let me live a normal life here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not cooperating at all.” He also realised that in his current situation, leaving this place would be similar to him throwing a wild monstrous animal into a human society. So he didn’t even dare to say that he could control himself. He knew he couldn’t leave.
But he definitely didn’t want to be monitored in a lab every day. It felt awful.
“No problem. I have already prepared a room for you.”
Ayer raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, “Really? Is it next door to you?”
Tang Tingzhi was stunned, “Do you want to live next door to me?”
Ayer was just talking casually at first. But now he immediately asked: “Why can’t I be next door to you?”
Tang Tingzhi thought to himself for a while, “There is no reason why you can’t be next door to me.”
Yang Guan interrupted strangely: “Of course there is a reason, Senior Colonel. The safety of the Senior Colonel is the top priority of the base.”
Ayer glared at him, “It’s not your turn to interrupt us.”
Tang Tingzhi nodded, “Since you want to live next door to me, I will ask someone to arrange it. I will try my best to meet your request. But I hope you can cooperate with us as much as possible. This is also for your own good. The sooner you learn to control yourself, the sooner you can be free.”
Ayer was a little more satisfied. He then gave the other people a blank look, “Tell them to go out. I hate them. They dare to point a gun at me. Hmph.”
Tang Tingzhi waved his hand and the others retreated helplessly.
Ayer pulled Tang Tingzhi to the bed and made him sit down, “Yesterday, I was knocked out by you before I had time to ask about the situation of the ‘Peregrine Falcon’. Damn. What happened to the others?”
“You’ve been in a coma for too long so you really missed a lot…” Tang Tingzhi briefly explained the situation of the others towards him. Ayer was silent for a long time. His eyes were full of sadness and frustration.
Tang Tingzhi said softly: “Do you want to meet Shan Ming and Lily? They are both at the base now.”
Ayer lowered his head and rubbed his temple with his hands. He said wearily, “No. I don’t want to right now.”
He thought that none of them was in a good state. If they meet now, they can’t help each other. So it’s better not to see each other.
Tang Tingzhi pushed up his glasses and touched Ayer’s fingers, not knowing what to say.
Ayer suddenly grabbed his shoulder, “Tang, if it wasn’t for us accepting your mission, maybe my ‘Peregrine Falcon’ won’t end up like this. You owe me a lot.”
Tang Tingzhi lowered his eyes, “Part of it…is indeed because of me.”
Ayer squinted his eyes at him, “Then, you better pay off the debt slowly.”
“But, I have settled the payment for you every time.”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“What do you mean then?”
“You Chinese have an idiom called ‘promise with your body’ or something like that. You should understand what it means, right?”
Tang Tingzhi was stunned, “That only refers to women.”
Ayer snorted, “The rules can change.”
