I Would Never Fall for a D-Rank Guide

Guan Chao first saw that low-ranking Guide in an overcrowded guidance clinic. His cleanup squad had been badly wounded in a contamination zone, with nine injured and one dead, and they could only stop for a temporary break in the remote city of Z. The underdeveloped city had only one purification center.

And one utterly ordinary D-rank Guide.

High-ranking Sentinels couldn't bond with low-ranking Guides. To Guan Chao, low-ranking Sentinels and Guides were worker ants, no more noticeable than air.

His teammate Qian Yan was already halfway into a frenzy. Sentinel burnout rates were high, and without a sedative, he wouldn't last fifteen minutes, but that Guide saved him with astonishing skill.

Even so, Guan Chao merely paid extra on Qian Yan's behalf. The squad would only be in Z City for a month. There was no chance they would have anything to do with each other.

Still, when you're injured, a Guide's comfort helps you recover faster and finish the mission.

Guan Chao had never undergone guidance before. Why did this Guide's guidance hurt and feel so good at the same time?

Later, he learned she had a lover, a trash B-rank Sentinel inferior to him in physical ability, rank, and mental strength.

They were intimate. They ate together, shared drinks, embraced, and kissed.

Love is the least efficient way to exchange emotions.

It would have been more convincing if he hadn't waited two hours for her outside the clinic.

The date had arrived. It was time for him to return to the city.

For various reasons, the Guide came with them to the central city too.

Great. Now there were no more flies around to bother her.

Until he saw the two of them in the matching hall, holding a report and registering at the counter.

They were going to bond??!!

He hadn't agreed to it yet! Shen Qitian!
