The Big Shot in the Wheelchair 4

Qin Luo saw him come out, smiled slightly at him, and walked beside him to lead the way: "Mr. Su, this way please."

However, as Su Jinzhi looked at his smile, he felt something was weird. Remembering No. 1's reminder to maintain his character persona, Su Jinzhi quickly squeezed his throat and pretended to say timidly, "Mr. Qin, Qin Luo, you can just call me Jinzhi..."

Qin Luo smiled again and said, "You are someone by Mr. Qin's side. Your name can only be called by Mr. Qin." After saying that, he turned his head, seemingly not wanting to continue talking to Su Jinzhi.

Su Jinzhi didn't ask for a snub by leaning in either.

He asked No. 1, "Why do I feel like this Qin Luo doesn't seem to like me?"

No. 1 said, "Maybe it's because your appearance in this world isn't very likable."

Su Jinzhi was very unhappy. "Didn't we agree that my persona is an innocent little white flower? You guys found this body for me, so you have to take full responsibility."

No. 1 said, "Appearance stems from the mind, this is something we AIs cannot control."

Su Jinzhi: "..."

He followed Qin Luo and soon arrived at the dining hall downstairs from the suite. Qin Yezhou was already waiting for him at the table.

Seeing the young man's figure appear at the door, the gray-eyed man's originally cold and stern face melted like winter ice meeting spring. He smiled and waved at him: "Jinzhi, come here."

Qin Yezhou was now Su Jinzhi's lifeline, how could he not listen to what he said? Even though the man's action was like calling a puppy, Su Jinzhi still quickly walked over and sat down beside him, lowering his head and whispering, "Mr. Qin..."

"Is your body feeling better?" Qin Yezhou raised his hand and stroked his hair, then grasped his slightly cold fingers resting on his knee. "You have a heart condition? If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have exhausted you like that last night."

Exhausted?

Su Jinzhi's temple twitched, pondering whether Qin Yezhou had used the wrong word. However, he still put on a panicked and helpless expression on his face: "Mr. Qin... I didn't mean to hide it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Yezhou smiled: "Do you like me?"

Su Jinzhi mumbled, "I like you..."

The smile on Qin Yezhou's face deepened. He looked at Su Jinzhi, as if staring at a little rabbit that had fallen into a trap, and chuckled in a low voice, "Then that's enough."

"Eat first, I'll take you out to play later." Qin Yezhou pressed the call bell on the table, asking the chef to start serving the dishes.

Su Jinzhi was taken aback: "But, I still have to go to work later..."

"You don't need to go." Qin Yezhou turned his head and kissed him on the corner of his lips. "I bought the Atlantis, so now I am your boss."

My god, rich people are really something else.

Su Jinzhi sighed in his heart while being kissed by Qin Yezhou.

However, just as Qin Yezhou finished speaking, a clatter came from not far away.

Su Jinzhi quickly pushed Qin Yezhou away and sat up straight. Looking toward the source of the sound, he spotted an old acquaintance—Kong Shifei, whose face was deathly pale, was frantically picking up the cutlery that had fallen to the ground.

Qin Luo immediately raised his hand and whispered to another waiter, asking him to bring over two new sets of cutlery.

Subsequently, Qin Yezhou wrapped his arm around Su Jinzhi's waist and spoke by his ear, "Why do you keep looking at her, Jinzhi? Is she an acquaintance?"

"Mm..." Su Jinzhi replied, contemplating whether he should greet her. "She is my friend."

Kong Shifei, who had just finished picking up the knife and fork, paused her movements upon hearing these words. She raised her head and smiled weakly at Su Jinzhi, then glanced timidly at Qin Yezhou. She spoke in a delicate voice that was coquettish and shy, soft and alluring: "Mr. Qin... I didn't mean to—"

However, before she could finish her sentence, she saw Qin Yezhou completely ignore her. He scooped a spoonful of the hot porridge that had just been served, blew on it carefully to cool it down, and brought it to Su Jinzhi's mouth: "Jinzhi, open your mouth."

Kong Shifei watched as Qin Yezhou fed Su Jinzhi like he was taking care of a fully disabled invalid, and the rest of her words choked in her throat. Just then, other waiters came to urge her to leave, so Kong Shifei could only retreat resentfully.

But Kong Shifei wasn't actually the only one who felt choked; Su Jinzhi felt choked too.

Qin Yezhou's love came too suddenly. He was almost like a madman who had become bewitched and obsessed by his beauty overnight, treating him so well that it was bloodcurdling. With Qin Yezhou's abilities, as early as when something went wrong with the wine last night, he should have already had people investigate the cause and process of the incident, as well as his background. His and the Vice Captain's schemes and tricks were probably already fully exposed in front of Qin Yezhou. Yet, Qin Yezhou acted as if he knew nothing, following a written script to act out a play of deep-sea-like affection with him.

And Qin Yezhou still hadn't asked him a single question about it. This was the source of Su Jinzhi's panic.

But the most important thing was...

The 0/100 progress bar above Qin Yezhou's head.

However, on second thought, considering his reputation on the ship and his suspicious identity, Su Jinzhi should thank the heavens that the progress bar wasn't in the negatives. But if things continued like this, how long would he have to wait until the progress bar above Qin Yezhou's head moved even a little?

Because his mind was weighed down with worries, even though the food in front of him was very delicious, Su Jinzhi found it hard to swallow. Fortunately, while eating, Qin Yezhou received a phone call. He then apologized to him, the general meaning being that he couldn't take him out to play later. He currently had a major matter that urgently needed dealing with, and he would come back to make it up to his little baby at night.

Su Jinzhi hurriedly nodded repeatedly. He also urgently needed some peace and quiet right now to rethink a way to awaken Qin Yezhou's love for life. Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before he was killed by No. 1.

Qin Yezhou didn't return after leaving. Happy to be relaxed, Su Jinzhi ate more than half of the food on the table by himself. Feeling a bit stuffed, he took a casual stroll on the cruise ship to digest. Anyway, Qin Yezhou hadn't restricted his movements. As a result, wandering around, he eventually wandered back to his original crew dormitory.

He lived in a single room. The employee benefits on the cruise ship were quite good; although the dormitory was small, the interior decoration was even much better than a standard room in a typical interstellar hotel. Since he was already here, Su Jinzhi prepared to go back to his room to pack his things. But just as he grasped the doorknob, Kong Shifei, who had been ambushing nearby for who knows how long, jumped out and called to stop him: "Jinzhi!"

Su Jinzhi turned his head and, following his character persona, gave Kong Shifei a shallow smile. "Shifei." As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Jinzhi himself shuddered.

Kong Shifei trotted over to Su Jinzhi, rested her hands on her knees to even out her breathing, and asked him probingly: "Jinzhi... you and Mr. Qin?"

Su Jinzhi lowered his head, the tips of his ears dyed a faint crimson, his acting skills coming online in a second: "Mr. Qin and I are together now..."

"Is that so... Congratulations." Although Kong Shifei was still smiling on the surface, inwardly she was gnashing her teeth in hatred.

Last night, there had been no news from Qin Yezhou's side, and she had already been anxious to death. When she was asked to deliver the cutlery to Mr. Qin in the morning, she was happy for a moment, thinking that Su Jinzhi had fallen for the trap and been taken away by someone else. As a result, she saw that scene just now...

"How did you and Mr. Qin... get together? Weren't you with the Vice Captain?" At this point, Kong Shifei covered her mouth in panic, looking horrified as if she had accidentally blurted out a huge secret.

Su Jinzhi returned her a shy smile: "There's nothing between me and the Vice Captain. Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin drank too much wine last night, and it was an accident with me."

Drank too much wine.

These few words made Kong Shifei feel even more stifled: Could it be that the spiked bottle last night was drunk by Qin Yezhou? But how did Su Jinzhi get past the bodyguards?

Kong Shifei asked him: "It was an accident? But I saw Mr. Qin treating you so well..."

This person wasn't his Salvation Target anyway, so Su Jinzhi couldn't be bothered to deal with her falsely and politely, and decided to add fuel to the fire to gross her out: "Mr. Qin felt bad that it was my first time, so he wants to take responsibility for me."

Hehe.

Su Jinzhi felt disgusted just hearing those words himself; he didn't believe Kong Shifei could keep asking after that.

Sure enough, Kong Shifei's face turned green when she heard his words. She stiffly twitched the corners of her lips and mumbled, "Oh... Then I wish you happiness."

Su Jinzhi gave her another pure, clean, and flawless smile, his eyes sparkling brightly. Like a newlywed receiving a good friend's blessing, he thanked her: "Thank you."

Kong Shifei walked away, looking utterly despondent.

Su Jinzhi shrugged and opened the door to enter his dormitory. As soon as he walked in, the landline phone on the bedside table rang. Su Jinzhi picked it up; it was the Vice Captain.

The Vice Captain continuously praised him on the phone, saying he really kept his word, capturing Mr. Qin's heart so quickly, and even bringing him such a huge benefit.

Su Jinzhi found it strange as soon as he heard this. He hadn't even had time to whisper pillow talk to Qin Yezhou yet, so what benefit did the Vice Captain receive?

It turned out the Vice Captain told him that he was no longer the Vice Captain of the Atlantis. Qin Yezhou had given him a cruise ship slightly smaller than the Atlantis for him to be the captain of.

After the Vice Captain finished saying these words, Su Jinzhi broke out in a cold sweat all over his back.

"Jinzhi, I won't be able to protect you in the future, but you have Mr. Qin, so grasp this opportunity well."

Su Jinzhi gave two dry laughs and hung up the phone.

Then, he pulled up Qin Yezhou's total salvation progress panel to look at it again, terrified that it would drop below 0. But upon looking, he found that it had gone from 0/100 to 1/100.

Seeing this inexplicably increased point of affection value, Su Jinzhi's head was full of question marks.

In the evening, Qin Yezhou had Qin Luo look for Su Jinzhi and bring him to the open-air hot spring on the top floor.

When Su Jinzhi saw Qin Yezhou, he was still carrying the suitcase of shabby luggage he had just packed from his dormitory, while Qin Yezhou was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks with a towel draped over his shoulders, soaking in the hot spring pool—he couldn't swim.

But Qin Yezhou's body was not as thin and weak as an average disabled person; Su Jinzhi had felt that the day he carried him. Now that he had taken off his clothes, it was even easier to see this man's extremely lean, strong, and solid physique.

Compared to him, the frail and pale Su Jinzhi looked more like the disabled person, and a hemiplegic one at that.

Seeing Su Jinzhi arrive, Qin Yezhou immediately waved at him.

The man propped his head up and sat by the edge of the hot spring pool. His magnetic, deep voice carried a strong sense of laughter, and his profound gray eyes looked at him faintly, like a deep pool, bottomless, capable of easily dragging him underwater to drown: "Jinzhi, come—"

Upon hearing his voice, Su Jinzhi absentmindedly hugged his pile of shabby luggage and went over: "Mr. Qin."

"Do you know how to swim?" Qin Yezhou pointed to the large freshwater swimming pool next to them.

Swimming in a pool on a cruise ship at sea—Su Jinzhi really couldn't understand this rich person's pastime. However, he didn't know how to swim either, so he could only answer, "No."

Qin Yezhou reached his hand out of the hot spring and touched Su Jinzhi's exposed ankle: "Then go change your clothes and come soak together."

Su Jinzhi looked around, looking for a place to put his things and change his clothes, when he heard Qin Yezhou say, "Just leave your luggage here, the changing room is over there."

Since Qin Yezhou said so, Su Jinzhi nonchalantly put his luggage right next to the hot spring.

Entering the changing room, Su Jinzhi immediately slapped himself—Serves you right for being a voice-con! Serves you right for being a face-con!

But he still changed his clothes quickly. When he came out of the changing room, he saw Qin Yezhou holding a sketchbook taken out of his suitcase, looking at it with absolute concentration. Next to it was a thoroughly washed pair of underwear he had placed at the bottom of the suitcase.

—How did he even pull this kind of thing out??

"Mr. Qin!" Su Jinzhi walked quickly to the side of the hot spring pool, grabbed the underwear, and hurriedly stuffed it back into the suitcase.

Qin Yezhou looked up at him, his gaze drifting over the young man's buttocks. Watching the young man's actions, he smiled, handed him a towel, and pulled his wrist, saying, "Stop packing, come down."

Su Jinzhi couldn't resist him, so he could only take the towel handed over by the man and slide into the hot spring pool.

"Did you draw this?" Qin Yezhou moved the sketchbook in front of him, pointing at a drawing full of sunflowers, and asked him.
