Chapter 176: Torturing the Imperial General (37)

Immediately afterwards, Lu Qinian quickly and skillfully pulled out a tube of nutrient solution from the pocket on his arm.

He gently pinched the lid of the nutrient solution with his fingers and turned it carefully, fearing that any sound would disturb the weak Jiang Yan in his arms.

When the lid was fully opened, Lu Qinian gently pointed the nozzle at Jiang Yan's bloodless and slightly pale lips.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if what he held in his hands was not an ordinary nutrient, but the most precious and fragile treasure in the world.

Then, Lu Qinian slowly and steadily tilted the tube, allowing the crystal-clear liquid inside to flow slowly down the pipe.

The liquid flowed very slowly, like a clear stream, flickering tiny lights under the light, and like a refreshing spring, continuously nourishing a fertile land that had been dry for a long time and in urgent need of water.

At this moment, time seems to be particularly long, and every second seems so solemn.

However, Lu Qinian remained patient and waited quietly. His eyes never left Jiang Yan's haggard face, carefully observing every subtle change in him, not missing any sign that might indicate improvement.

Finally, after waiting for a while, Lu Qinian keenly noticed that the person in his arms' originally rapid and disordered breathing gradually became steady.

At the same time, Jiang Yan's originally soft and weak body seemed to slowly regain some strength, and he no longer looked as dying as before.

Seeing this, Lu Qinian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt relieved.

He first carefully supported Jiang Yan and let him lean on his broad and warm chest to rest for a while; then, he slowly moved his feet and took Jiang Yan towards the soft and comfortable sofa in the office.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Qinian's movements were so gentle, fearing that his carelessness would cause Jiang Yan more pain and discomfort.

After finally walking to the sofa, Lu Qinian bent down and placed Jiang Yan on the sofa very carefully, adjusting his posture to ensure that the other party could sit in the most relaxed and comfortable state.

Although Jiang Yan was still a little weak at this time, he still managed to support his body and raised his head slightly.

His eyes, as deep as the sea, looked straight at Lu Qinian, and their gazes met in an instant.

Jiang Yan's face was still as pale as snow, but his expression was as calm and composed as ever. He parted his lips and whispered, "General Lu, now you can finally trust me, right?"

Hearing these words, Lu Qinian's heart tightened, and an indescribable discomfort surged in his heart.

However, he quickly suppressed his inner emotions and tried to keep his face looking calm.

He just nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Yeah."

Just one simple word, yet it contains so many complex and unspeakable emotions.

It was obvious that deep down he didn't want the relationship between them to become so rigid and tense.

After all, there were so many memories, we had been through so many ups and downs together, those laughter and tears intertwined into an inseparable bond. However, reality always ruthlessly forces people to make some choices against their will.

Although he was filled with helplessness, there was really no other way.

A variety of complex factors, like an invisible net, bound him tightly, making him unable to move. Faced with such a predicament, he could only endure the pain silently and watch the distance between them grow wider and wider.
