This Damned Thirst for Survival

When they arrived, they took Zhuo Zhongqiu's car, and when they left Jiang Luo let them drop him off in front of a delicatessen and got out to say goodbye to the two men.

Zhuo Zhongqiu and Wen Renlian do not live in this area, Wen Renlian raised his hand to look at his watch, "It's already eight o'clock, and you're still not home? Aren't you afraid that your family will be angry?"

Jiang Luo said, "I'll buy something to eat, you guys can go first."

Zhuo Zhongqiu and the two of them simply waved and left.

Jiang Luo stands on the side of the road, stretches and walks slowly to the deli to queue up.

It's eight o'clock in the evening, and it's a crowded time. There are seven or eight people in front of Jiang Luo, each sweating profusely. Jiang Luo takes off his suit jacket, loosens his tie and feels the cool night air blowing through him.

After a few minutes, the queue finally reached him. The owner asked, "What do you want?"

Jiang Luo looked down, "One catty of dried pork in honey sauce, one pig's trotters, and two catties of pork head."

The proprietor weighed the meat neatly, "Do you want it sliced and seasoned?"

"Yes," Jiang Luo said, "with more spice."

The chilli oil is so good, so spicy, that a single bite of the cooked food will whet your appetite and make your mouth water. Jiang Luo has been enjoying it ever since he moved here.

Someone behind him said, "No need to put spice on him."

Jiang Luo turned his head and saw the evil spirit standing behind him, saying in a commanding tone, "You have to exercise tonight, you shouldn't eat spicy food."

The shopkeeper muttered in a strange whisper, "What kind of exercise doesn't allow you to eat spicy food?"

Jiang Luo rolled his eyes, "Boss, don't mind him, I'm the one paying for it, so of course I'm the one who's in charge."

The owner, on hearing his words, immediately and simply added a large spoonful of chilli oil. After adding the various seasonings, the cooked food was quickly mixed and handed to Jiang Luo in three bags.

Jiang Luo paid and took it, tossing his suit jacket to Chi You as he walked away, unable to resist using his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat covered in chilli oil and put it in his mouth.

"Hiss ...... so good," he inhaled coldly, his lips red with the chilli oil, "this tastes amazing."

Chi You looked at him with a thin sweat breaking out on his forehead and frowned unsuspectingly, asking slowly, "Is it that good?"

Jiang Luo nodded repeatedly, exhaling hot air, "It's so spicy."

Chi You laughed lightly and said, "Why not just spice it up?"

They walked shoulder to shoulder through the streets, brightly lit by the night, with all sorts of murmurs, the smell of snacks and a wide range of shops real and noisy. People come and go in the street, men, women and children alike. Two tall, handsome men walk among them, less conspicuous in the daytime under the cover of the darkness and all the bustle, with a quietness that is uniquely "life".

A couple walked past the two of them and upon hearing Chi You's words, the girl couldn't help but glance back at them.

The boy asked in a rush, "What's wrong?"

"I just thought they were a couple," the girl whispered, "I didn't think that guy would say something like that, at that glance, they definitely can't be a couple, how can a couple say something like that. If you dare to say hot words to me, I'll just break up with you."

The boy said, "Ah," and scratched his head in annoyance, "What should I say when you eat something spicy?"

The girl said, "Go and buy me a cup of iced milk tea first, then gently comfort me. Don't follow this guy's example, or you'll never find another partner."

Chi You's leisurely footsteps suddenly stiffened for a moment.

Jiang Luo gave a "pfft" as he gloated and looked at Chi You, "Mr. Chi, they're so right, you're still looking for a date with your strength, you're more suited to a life of loneliness. "

Chi You said, "You are my other companion."

Jiang Luo suddenly walked up the steps and bent close, those eyes holding the light and moonlight in a mischievous way, and said with a smile, "So shouldn't you thank God that you met me?"

Chi You's heart felt like a torch had been abruptly lit and the corners of his mouth curled up as he turned the tables, "Let me taste how spicy your purchase is."

Jiang Luo: "Chit."

He picks up the bag and finds the piece of meat with the most chilli oil piled on it and brings it to Chi You's mouth, and the evil spirit opens his thin, elegant lips, savoring the taste without slowing down. But after a few seconds, his chewing became slower and slower, and the careless smile that curled up at the corners of his mouth froze into an expressionless grimace.

Jiang Luo blinks innocently and asks, "How does it taste? Was it particularly spicy and addictive? Was it good did you like the sting or not?"

The evil spirit's lips pulled straight as he fiercely clutched Jiang Luo's hand and walked over to a cold drink shop, buying two glasses of iced fruit tea.

Jiang Luo stifled a laugh as he watched Chi You finish most of the iced water in one gulp without any expression on his face and turned around to stifle a laugh.

Not long ago, to facilitate Jiang Luo's work, they bought a 300 sq ft house in the city not far from the research bureau. It is a small two-storey villa with two gardens at the front and back, but without a swimming pool.

Jiang Luo personally made a set of design drawings for the villa and dug a pool specifically for the front yard. They paid a lot of money, renovated it quickly and have now been living in the villa for a few days.

The villa was not far from the deli place and by the time they walked home slowly, it was only half an hour later.

Jiang Luo put the unfinished food on the coffee table and went to change into something comfortable. When he returned to the living room, he pulled two cold beers out of the fridge and tossed one to Chi You, "Still want some?"

The evil ghost leaned back on the sofa and caught it with precision, pulling the pull tab with pale fingers and smiling falsely, "No need."

Jiang Luo laughed twice and deliberately moved over to cover Chi You's eyes, holding the meat of the dried pork to his lips, "If you're a man, you can't be afraid of spicy food."

Chi You clutches his wrist and pulls it down, and is about to speak when Jiang Luo violently shoves the meat into his mouth.

The evil demon's face changed abruptly and he was about to spit out what was in his mouth when the next second he realised that what he had eaten did not have that nasty spicy taste. He laughed twice and removed Jiang Luo's hand.

Jiang Luo's brightly smiling face then came up to the bottom of his eyes, and he said, proddingly, "Well, isn't this even better?"

The knot in the evil demon's throat rolled, and after swallowing the item, he smiled unexpectedly, "It is very tasty."

Jiang Luo recoiled in suspicion as he took two cautious steps back away from the couch, "If it's good, it's good, why are you smiling?"

At these words, the evil spirit raised his hand with a big smile and touched up the three food bags. Black Qi surged and surrounded the bags, and when the black Qi dispersed, the three food portions had disappeared.

Jiang Luo choked and then pounced on Chi You with his hands around his neck, shouting viciously, "Ahhhhhh, my dinner!"

The weight of Jiang Luo's grown man did not seem to weigh him down, he carried Jiang Luo to the bathroom as easily as if he were carrying a feather, his arm muscles tense, his right hand stroking Jiang Luo's spine, "I heard you went to see Feng Li tonight. "

Jiang Luo glared at him menacingly and gritted his teeth, "That's Laozi's job."

The evil spirit's expression became thoughtful, "So, you and Feng Li have a partnership too."

This was not a good topic.

Jiang Luo was serious for a second, he let go of Chi You's neck, jumped off Chi You, took two quick steps forward and went into the bathroom, turned around and was about to close the door, "Mr. Chi, Feng Li and I are in a serious and mutually beneficial relationship."

"Compared to me," he looked at the handsome villain, his tone suddenly becoming a little sinister, "that relationship between you and Feng Li is more unseemly, isn't it, huh ......"

In the original, these two were a couple.

Although Jiang Luo knows that the pair are in a controlling and controlled relationship, it doesn't bother him.

When he spoke to Feng Li today, Jiang Luo realised that Feng Li knew nothing about the day of the Great War after Feng Li asked him how the Fates died. There was only one explanation for Feng Li's ignorance, and that was that the Feng Li who killed Ji Yaozi at the Jokhang Temple was not Feng Li, but a Feng Li under the control of Chi You.

But Chi You had never told him about this.

Jiang Luo was still foolish enough to tell Chi You that the fated man did not end up dying at Chi You's hands as predicted, and Chi You laughed and didn't explain.

Heh.

With these words, which were inexplicable to the evil spirits, Jiang Luo slammed the bathroom door shut.

He and Feng Li?

Chi You's brow furrowed.

What was the relationship between him and Feng Li?

The author has something to say.

Chi You: I don't know

I'll try to be early tomorrow.
