The Strongest Sentinel (11): He won’t live long, so he shouldn’t think too much about it.
Before Gu Juntian could think too much, Zhou Qinghao had already turned the tables and started kissing him back, and he was particularly forceful.
Was it impressive that the advanced sentinel was strong?
Gu Juntian pushed Zhou Qinghao away and said, “I’m hungry, go make dinner.”
He tortured his mind every day, and the energy consumption was quite significant!
“There is meat in the fridge,” Zhou Qinghao said.
Gu Juntian entered the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. Sure enough, he saw it was filled with meat and some edible mutated plants.
Sentinels couldn’t eat food with too many seasonings, and these ingredients were all top-notch, so Gu Juntian just cooked them in the simplest way.
While he was cooking, Zhou Qinghao stood at the kitchen door, staring at him without blinking.
Seriously, even if he liked him so much, he doidn’t have to keep staring at him like that…
Gu Juntian felt very pleased inside: “Qinghao, my mom said she has already started working. The work environment is really good, and the meals are delicious.”
Mother Gu received the news and immediately went to work because the work meal was not a nutritious meal but rather beast meat. She was very happy for a long time.
Nutritional meals come in all sorts of flavors, but they could get monotonous over time. Moreover, for ordinary people in the outer city, being able to eat mutated beast meat was itself a delightful thing.
“Mm.” Zhou Qinghao replied.
“Qinghao, do you have any preferences for mutated beast meat? Do you prefer it fried, grilled, or boiled?”
“Either is fine.”
“Indeed, everything is delicious… This fried meat is already ready, do you want to give it a try?” Gu Juntian picked up a piece of fried meat and brought it to Zhou Qinghao’s mouth.
Zhou Qinghao opened his mouth and ate the piece of meat, then continued to stare at Gu Juntian.
Today, Gu Juntian didn’t have that guide’s scent on him. He didn’t know if he washed it off or if he didn’t go looking for the guide today.
No matter what, this was a delightful thing.
Zhou Qinghao controlled himself, making sure not to think about that guide, and focused only on the life in front of him.
The person he liked was making dinner for him in the kitchen. Next, they would eat together, and then lie down together…
This was the life he dreamed of living since he was young.
So, don’t overthink it, just cherish the present.
Gu Juntian quickly finished preparing the meal, and then they sat down to eat together face to face.
To him, food was just something to keep him alive; most of the time, he found eating to be tasteless.
But now, with Gu Juntian sitting in front of him, he suddenly found the food on his plate to be very delicious.
Zhou Qinghao slowly ate the food in front of him, listening to Gu Juntian while eating.
Gu Juntian told Zhou Qinghao some things about his school, and then said, “After we finish eating, you can’t carry me into the bedroom again. I still have homework to do! How about this, we can sleep together at nine. By the way, don’t hold me too tightly at night. If it weren’t for my tough skin and thick flesh, I would definitely get a stiff neck…”
Zhou Qinghao didn’t speak, but he listened.
Gu Juntian finished his meal, saw Zhou Qinghao not making a move, and smiled.
His boyfriend was still very obedient, not bad!
However, it was almost seven o’clock now, and he needed to quickly finish the homework assigned by the teacher.
Taking out the tablet used for studying, Gu Juntian wrote vigorously on it.
His brain was much more useful than the original owner’s. These assignments were very simple for him, and he could complete them very easily.
It was just that when he was doing his homework, Zhou Qinghao kept staring at him, making him feel restless.
Gu Juntian, who finished his homework early, closed the tablet and looked at Zhou Qinghao: “Let’s go, time to sleep!”
Swollen mouth, swollen mouth, let’s kiss!
Zhou Qinghao’s gaze made his heart flutter; right now, he particularly wanted to be intimate with Zhou Qinghao.
This evening, it was still both sweet and torturous.
Fortunately, Gu Juntian was very tired, so he fell asleep not long after tossing and turning.
In the next ten days, Gu Juntian’s life did not change at all.
He went to school during the day and slept with Zhou Qinghao at night, leading a fulfilling and happy life.
One weekend, he went to visit Mother Gu, and because Mother Gu kept insisting that he find a guide, he hurriedly left and returned to the old house where he lived with Mother Gu, where he tormented his spiritual sea.
Every time he tormented his spiritual sea, his mental power became very violent.
If Zhou Qinghao saw him, Zhou Qinghao would worry. He wanted to become a guide as soon as possible, so he could hide from Zhou Qinghao during the day and sleep well with Zhou Qinghao at night.
Fortunately, after ten days, the mental power in his spiritual sea had become increasingly stable. Basically, in another ten days or so, his mental power would be no different from that of a guide!
The best part was that because the original owner of this body was a sentinel, he still possessed the sentinel’s five senses and physical strength.
Even if he became a guide, he could still go kill mutated beasts, it was simply perfect.
Gu Juntian was in a good mood, so he casually grabbed a chunk of mental power and tossed it into the spiritual sea as a celebration.
At that moment, he received a message from Liang Xia, asking to meet tomorrow.
Tomorrow would be Saturday, and he had no other plans. He could definitely go meet Liang Xia, or rather, the people behind Liang Xia.
Gu Juntian agreed.
During this period, he talked a lot with “Liang Xia.”
The other party had been testing him, and he had acted exactly as they hoped.
In the eyes of the person across the street holding Liang Xia’s account, he was a poor low-level sentinel who had been forced by Zhou Qinghao and had no choice but to submit to Zhou Qinghao.
Recently, Zhou Qinghao had been very active, and this person couldn’t sit still, so he wanted to use him to deal with Zhou Qinghao.
And he could also see what the other party wanted to do.
At the same time, Base One, on the rooftop of the soldiers’ residential block.
There was an office for Zhou Qinghao here; he often came here to handle some affairs.
Today, he just came over.
The matters he needed to handle were quickly taken care of by him. Zhou Qinghao sat in his chair, rubbing his temples to relieve his headache.
And his mental power still uncontrollably perceived everything around him.
His perception ability was too strong; even though the walls of the houses in this neighborhood were specially made, he could still collect a massive amount of information and hear what everyone was saying.
This made him somewhat annoyed.
He wanted to be with Gu Juntian. When he focused on Gu Juntian, he didn’t pay attention to these trivial matters.
Just as he thought of Gu Juntian, Zhou Qinghao discovered Gu Juntian’s mother.
This middle-aged woman was talking to Tang Chen’s guide: “Do you know any guides? You could introduce one to my son. Although my son is just a low-level sentinel, the commander-in-chief values him highly. Our family also has some savings…”
Tang Chen’s guide had once seen Gu Juntian entering and leaving Zhou Qinghao’s residence, and upon hearing this, he felt extremely embarrassed.
Mother Gu was still talking: “Our Juntian is so good, he will definitely treat his guide well, pampering his guide in the palm of his hand…”
Zhou Qinghao’s head hurt even more, and his mental power became uncontrollable.
After he died, Gu Juntian would definitely go look for the guide, right?
So, would he treat his guide better than he treated himself?
During this period, Zhou Qinghao and Gu Juntian got along like an ordinary couple.
He was immersed in this kind of life, not thinking about the underlying issues, but now he had started to think about them.
He shouldn’t be thinking about it; he only had a few months left to live. Thinking too much at this time was just asking for trouble.
Closing his eyes, Zhou Qinghao tried to focus on something else, but he could still hear Gu Juntian’s mother’s words.
It was at this moment that Tang Chen arrived at his door.
Zhou Qinghao asked, “Is there something?”
Tang Chen’s face showed a look of conflict.
Zhou Qinghao could sense Tang Chen’s hesitation and said, “If there’s something, just say it.”
Tang Chen said, “Teacher, the matter I want to discuss is related to Gu Juntian.”
These days, Tang Chen had been observing Zhou Qinghao’s good condition.
He knew that Zhou Qinghao really liked Gu Juntian. Because of this affection, Zhou Qinghao even made a will, leaving all his assets to Gu Juntian.
They would move to a different base in the future, but the credit points were universal across all bases.
Moreover, the mutated beasts were not only valuable for their meat; other parts of their bodies were also highly valuable. For example, the shells of some mutated beasts were incredibly hard and very valuable.
Zhou Qinghao had many valuable collectibles, and he had placed them all in that new base, leaving them to Gu Juntian.
His teacher’s actions towards Gu Juntian were indeed not very good, but this feeling was very sincere. On the contrary, Gu Juntian might not like his teacher…
Zhou Qinghao knew that what Tang Chen wanted to say was definitely something he didn’t want to hear.
But Tang Chen had already approached him, so he couldn’t refuse to listen: “Go ahead.”
Tang Chen said it right then.
When Zhou Qinghao first met Gu Juntian, he once asked Tang Chen to investigate Gu Juntian.
At that time, Tang Chen just did a quick check, confirmed that Gu Juntian had no issues, and then reported the situation to Zhou Qinghao.
Not long ago, seeing Gu Juntian coming in and out of Zhou Qinghao’s house, Tang Chen checked Gu Juntian again.
And upon investigation, he discovered that Gu Juntian had betrayed Zhou Qinghao.
Previously, Tang Chen felt very sympathetic towards Gu Juntian, but after investigating Gu Juntian, he no longer felt any sympathy for him.
According to his investigation, it was Gu Juntian who took the initiative to contact Zhou Qinghao.
It made sense, given his teacher’s character, he wouldn’t force others.
Since Gu Juntian took the initiative, Gu Juntian should spend quality time with his teacher and accompany him through the last few months of his life.
As a result, Gu Juntian was spending time with his teacher while also dating a guide!
Zhou Qinghao had been in control of the army for nearly ten years, and in the underground city, he held considerable power.
As one of the two heirs he appointed, Tang Chen had a vast number of people at his disposal.
Tang Chen had thoroughly investigated Gu Juntian and Liang Xia’s relationship.
Gu Juntian bought a lot of gifts for Liang Xia, even took Liang Xia out for a big meal, and he even stole things from Zhou Qinghao’s house to give to Liang Xia!
Tang Chen recounted everything Gu Juntian had done.
Some of these things, Zhou Qinghao already knew.
But there were also some things he didn’t know before.
Looking at these, the mental power in Zhou Qinghao’s spiritual sea began to surge violently.
But he made an effort to suppress it and did not show it.
“I already knew all of this,” Zhou Qinghao said.
Tang Chen was momentarily stunned, but then he realized that very few things could escape his teacher’s notice.
“Teacher, there’s one more thing… In my investigation, I found that the guide named Liang Xia is likely someone from the faction of the governor. He is very likely to have intentionally approached Gu Juntian,” Tang Chen added.
Zhou Qinghao squinted his eyes slightly.
This matter, he really didn’t know about it before.
Gu Juntian had known that guide for a long time; at that time, he and Gu Juntian were actually not close.
Those people, they started so early?
If that was the case, then Gu Juntian meeting that guide was actually because of him.
Zhou Qinghao asked, “You didn’t tell Tiange about this investigation report, did you?”
Tang Chen said, “No. After the investigation report came to me, I came to find you, Teacher.”
“Then just pretend you haven’t seen this investigation report” Zhou Qinghao said.
Tang Chen was taken aback for a moment, but still agreed.
Zhou Qinghao asked Tang Chen to pretend he hadn’t seen this investigation report, and he would do the same.
He just pretended he didn’t know about it at all.
However, he originally wanted to support Gu Juntian and that guide, but if the guide’s background was problematic, Gu Juntian couldn’t be with that guide!
Realizing this, Zhou Qinghao was quite pleased.
However, although he was “happy,” his mind remained restless.
That night, after lying down while embracing Gu Juntian, Zhou Qinghao saw Gu Juntian quickly fall asleep and unconsciously tightened his grip on Gu Juntian’s wrist.
Gu Juntian felt a bit of pain in his hand, woke up helplessly, and then pulled Zhou Qinghao’s head into his arms: “Stop messing around, go to sleep!”
Gu Juntian quickly fell asleep again.
Zhou Qinghao just couldn’t fall asleep no matter what, staying awake until dawn.
During this period, Gu Juntian treated him very well, making him feel like they were actually in love.
But reality gave him a harsh slap in the face.
Gu Juntian’s kindness towards him is far inferior to his kindness towards that guide.
The money he gave to Gu Juntian, Gu Juntian spent it generously on that guide. But when it came to him? Gu Juntian only brought him meat twice, and one of those times was when he was eating with that guide and just happened to pack some for him.
Gu Juntian acted as if he really liked him, and when facing him, he didn’t seem to resist or fear him like before.
He thought they were really in love, but they weren’t.
Forget it, he wouldn’t live much longer, no need to think too much about it.
If he had time, he might as well think about something else, like how to tell Gu Juntian that the guide’s identity was problematic.
He still needed to arrange for someone to protect Gu Juntian.
He didn’t want Gu Juntian to get hurt.
Zhou Qinghao didn’t show any signs of anything. The next morning, he was as usual and sent Gu Juntian out the door.
He spent a whole day adjusting his mindset and finally calmed down a bit, but that night, when Gu Juntian arrived at his place, there was a familiar scent on him.
The smell that always appeared on those traitors.
