Chapter 86: Don’t Call Me Little Zhile
With that, Mide released Ye Zhile and tore the tape off his mouth. Ye Zhile slumped to the floor, gasping for air as two trails of tears fell. Mide grabbed him by the collar, patted his face, and laughed. “I’ll see you in the next life.”
He threw Ye Zhile to the floor and disappeared from sight. Soon after, the battleship was engulfed in flames.
Ye Zhile’s eyes widened. Mide was actually an Enigma.
Rhea Star launched an attack on the Empire, and for a time, the battle was intense. Countless shells traversed the interstellar space.
“All legions, take note! Avoid the Rhea Star battleship!” After Ji Shuohan quickly issued the orders, he disappeared from the Empire’s battleship in the blink of an eye. The commander was shocked. “My Lord!”
“Lele!” Seeing the tail of that battleship starting to explode, Ye Zhijin’s heart was in his throat. He immediately ordered, “Xiao Chen! Take the other mechas and stop Rhea Star from approaching!”
“Got it!”
The surrounding noise felt as if it were isolated in a distant sky. Ye Zhile couldn’t hear very clearly. Someone picked him up.
“Zhile!”
Ye Zhile opened his eyes to see Ji Shuohan’s anxious face. The surroundings were filled with the sound of explosions, scorched by the heat. He was held in Ji Shuohan’s arms. At the moment they were about to disappear, there was a massive “bang”! A shockwave squeezed Ye Zhile’s internal organs, and he let out a muffled groan.
“Zhile! Zhile!”
Back on the Empire’s battleship, Ye Zhile lay in Ji Shuohan’s arms, constantly coughing up blood. The scene was startling. Ji Shuohan was so panicked that his hands wouldn’t stop shaking. “Zhile…”
“Xiao Yuanqing! Xiao Yuanqing!” Ji Shuohan shouted! The commander ran over and said, “Doctor Xiao didn’t come this time.”
“Where is the military doctor?! Go get the military doctor!” Ji Shuohan’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared at the commander!
“Yes!”
“Ugh…” Ye Zhile felt a sharp pain in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Ji Shuohan cupped his face, tears falling uncontrollably. “Zhile, hold on. The doctor is coming. Don’t be afraid…”
Ye Zhile opened his eyes, his lips trembling. Every breath he took brought a sharp pain. He said weakly, “In the next life… you’re not allowed to… appear at my… birthday party… You’re not allowed to… call me… Little Zhile…”
Ji Shuohan froze. A memory of an eight-year-old birthday boy suddenly surfaced in his mind—the boy who would shyly hide in his father’s arms upon seeing him. Ji Shuohan let the tears cover his face. Guilt made his heart ache as if it were being corroded. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Zhile. Give me another chance, okay? I beg you…”
“Take… good care… of Dudu.” After saying that, Ye Zhile’s hand fell limply, and his breath ceased.
“Zhile…” Ji Shuohan’s voice trembled. There was a large patch of blood on Ye Zhile’s chest. He released his pheromones, and in an instant, the cabin became like an ice cave. When the military doctor rushed over, he couldn’t help but shiver.
“My Lord.”
Ji Shuohan looked up, his eyes entirely bloodshot. “Give me the syringe.”
Seeing the Supreme Leader in such a wretched state, the military doctor couldn’t help but be shocked. He immediately took a syringe from the medical kit and handed it to Ji Shuohan.
Ji Shuohan extracted his own pheromone fluid and injected it into Ye Zhile’s gland.
He had no other way. He only hoped this method could keep Ye Zhile with him for a little while longer.
“Lele!” Ye Zhijin rushed in. Seeing the blood on Ye Zhile’s chest, his heart panicked and his hands shook. He took Ye Zhile from Ji Shuohan’s arms and touched his face. “Lele… don’t scare Big Brother.”
“It’ll be okay… Big Brother will take you to the hospital.” Ye Zhijin was at a loss. Finally, he picked Ye Zhile up. Ye Zhichen, who had just arrived, was completely stunned by the scene. He followed beside his eldest brother. “Big Brother, Lele, he…”
“He’s fine.”
Outside the operating room, a gloom loomed, and the atmosphere was so oppressive it was hard to breathe. It was heavy enough to make one choke.
Wen Yumiao looked haggard. He approached Ji Shuohan. “I used to respect you as the Empire’s Leader, but you’re not worthy at all. Every single thing you’ve done has broken Lele’s heart!”
“Yumiao.” Ye Junting held Wen Yumiao. Wen Yumiao was emotional and pushed Ye Junting away. “You were the one who made them get married! You said this person was trustworthy! And now?!”
Wen Yumiao looked at Ji Shuohan and questioned him, “Where is the promise you gave?! You said you’d take care of him for a lifetime! In the end, every time he ends up in the hospital, it’s because of you! Every time his life is in danger, it’s because of you! Is this the promise you gave?!”
Ji Shuohan’s throat burned as if he were swallowing charcoal, and his heart felt as if it were being torn apart. His voice was hoarse and choked with emotion. “I’m sorry…”
“What use is an apology?!” Wen Yumiao wept with every word. “Even if he was just a transaction between you two! Protecting and respecting him was your duty! You should have fulfilled your responsibility! Not to mention you are his husband!”
“Yumiao…” Ye Junting held Wen Yumiao, stroking his partner’s back to comfort him. “I’m sorry, Yumiao. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been so idealistic.”
Wen Yumiao sobbed uncontrollably.
Ye Zhichen stepped forward to hug Wen Yumiao. “Papa…”
At that moment, the door to the operating room opened, and everyone immediately surrounded it. Xiao Yuanqing took off his mask, not daring to look at the pairs of expectant eyes outside. “I’m sorry…”
“Go in and see him one last time…”
“Yuanqing.” Ye Zhijin grabbed his hand, tears streaming down his face. “Save him… He’s still so young…”
Xiao Yuanqing couldn’t help but feel his eyes sting as well. “Lele’s internal organs were injured by the explosion. We have no way…”
Hearing this, Wen Yumiao’s brain buzzed. He staggered forward a step, and Ye Junting quickly supported him.
At this point, Ji Shuohan stepped forward. He said to Xiao Yuanqing, “He still has vital signs, right?”
“Yes.”
Ji Shuohan immediately said, “An Enigma’s pheromone extract has healing properties. I injected some into him earlier. Have the doctors extract my pheromones and give them to him. Try again…”
“Alright!” Xiao Yuanqing immediately agreed. “Come with me!”
Ji Shuohan lay on a hospital bed in a gown. A thick needle was inserted into his gland, and three full tubes of pheromone extract were drawn.
“Draw more, just in case,” Ji Shuohan said. Extracting pheromone fluid is harmful to anyone’s body, and Enigmas are no exception. It’s just that they are more capable of enduring the discomfort than other Alphas or Omegas.
“It’s already enough. If we draw more, your body won’t be able to take it,” Xiao Yuanqing said.
“It’s fine. I’ll just rest for a bit. Hurry,” Ji Shuohan urged, completely unconcerned.
Finally, six tubes of pheromone fluid were drawn, and Xiao Yuanqing rushed back to the operating room without a moment’s pause.
Ji Shuohan got up and staggered a step. The doctor beside him quickly supported him.
Ji Shuohan waved his hand. “I’m fine.”
After an unknown amount of time, the operating light went out. Amid everyone’s apprehension, Xiao Yuanqing walked out once again and said, “Don’t worry. His vital signs have stabilized.”
