Arc 4: Chapter 6
Lu Ye hesitated to accept the ring.
After all, rings held a special meaning and if he agreed to Lin Yuan’s pursuit so easily, this underclassman of his might not cherish him after. Even if Lin Yuan had behaved well so far, as the old saying goes, things that are too easily obtained are not cherished.
He opened his mouth to refuse when he suddenly observed that the ring was designed for women. He looked at his underclassmans’s innocent eyes and felt that the ring might not have the meaning he thought. Lin Yuan probably just wanted to give him something he thought was pretty.
Lu Ye took the ring and estimated that this size would probably only fit his pinky finger. He slipped it on his right pinky and it fit just right.
Lin Yuan saw that Lu Ye wore the ring he gave him and his heart emitted pink bubbles. He howled happily: Husband, it looks so good on you~
Lu Ye guessed Lin Yuan’s meaning and gently rubbed the wolf’s head: “I look good right?”
Lin Yuan nodded: En, super good looking~
Lu Ye chuckled and he said meaningfully: “But Lin Yuan, this is a woman’s ring.”
Lin Yuan had no idea, he just saw the rose and remembered that he hadn’t given his husband a rose in a long time, so he chose that one.
Now that he realized it was a woman’s ring, Lin Yuan bumped Lu Ye’s hand and howled: Husband, don’t wear this one, I’ll find you a better one!
However, Lu Ye deliberately pinched the nose of the wolf in front of him and leaned closer to Lin Yuan. His handsome, stern face was magnified in Lin Yuan’s field of vision, and his face was so dazzling that it made people dizzy.
“But this is the first gift you gave me, I need to keep it forever.”
Lin Yuan ogled at the handsome face in front of him and and his heartbeat pounded extremely fast and his face flushed. He didn't notice that Lu Ye was teasing him on purpose, he only felt that his husband was too good-looking and he wanted to lick him. He wanted to lick all over his husband's body and cover him with his scent.
But he restrained himself because his husband said no before.
They left the jewelry store and continued walking. Lu Ye also began to try and kill zombies with his own weapon.
Lu Ye had long known that these zombies were no longer human, and so he did not feel any guilt when he killed them. These past few days, he had been observing these creatures and had a general understanding that zombies relied on their sense of smell and hearing to find prey. Moreover, the zombies usually moved slowly, and when they were about three meters away from their prey, they would start to accelerate.
After half a day, Lu Ye had killed a couple of zombies, while Lin Yuan had gotten rid of over a hundred. This was the difference between power users and ordinary people.
Now it was 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and Lin Yuan and Lu Ye returned to the apartment. They had a small dinner and Lu Ye took a simple shower and helped Lin Yuan clean his fur.
When they went to sleep, Lin Yuan naturally moved towards Lu Ye and drilled into his arms. He brushed against Lu Ye’s neck and howled softly: Husband~ I’ll warm you up.
Lu Ye hesitated at first, but when he thought of the warmth of his sleep last night, compared with the bone-chilling cold of the previous days, it was really tempting.
Finally, Lu Ye convinced himself that he was just keeping warm.
He reached out and tightly hugged Lin Yuan, as if he was hugging a flame that burned just for him, and not only was the chill of his body warmed, but the gloominess in his heart also evaporated a little from the heat.
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 40%.】

In the next few days, Lu Ye and Lin Yuan wandered around the neighborhood killing zombies, collecting crystal cores, and gathering supplies.
Today, Lu Ye had the idea of going to the shopping plaza near the school.
In the plot, the place where Lu Ye got bitten by a zombie was the shopping plaza.
Lin Yuan’s eyes immediately filled with worry and he quickly asked the system: 521! 521! If my husband is bitten by a zombie, he will definitely awaken his power and become a power user right? He won’t turn into a zombie right?
During this period 521 sat on Lin Yuan’s head every day, swaying with the wind, feeling sorry for itself, and lazily answered: “Of course ya, your husband is the biggest villain, he won’t turn into a zombie.”
Lin Yuan was still worried.
He didn’t want Lu Ye to get hurt, and didn’t want him to encounter any danger. He would definitely protect his husband. Not getting powers was no big deal, he could take care of his husband for a lifetime.
On the road from the apartment to the shopping plaza, Lin Yuan led Lu Ye to avoid all of the zombie crowds.
When they arrived near the plaza, Lu Ye glanced at all of the zombies wandering in front of the shops, and then at the closed security doors, and rubbed Lin Yuan's head gently and said: “Let’s enter from the underground parking lot.”
Lin Yuan bumped Lu Ye’s hand in response: Ok.
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly when the soft fur hit him, and his slightly hot fingertips curled up unconsciously, as if they were uncomfortable touching the wolf’s fur. Lu Ye retracted his hand and silently clenched his fingertips. His eyes fell on Lin Yuan's almost snow-white fur and darkened slightly.
This admirer of his liked to touch him at every opportunity, really clingy ah.
But…it was probably just because they haven't known each other for a long time. In the future, Lin Yuan might not be so affectionate with him.
When they got to the entrance of the underground parking lot, the inside was pitch black and there were strange bursts of chilliness even though the temperature outside was boiling.
Lu Ye gripped his weapon and was ready to go inside, when Lin Yun used his body to block the way in front of him and didn’t let him go.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Ye squatted down and looked into Lin Yuan’s clear eyes. They were like the sea’s surface illuminated by the sun, sparkling with light, and more magnificent than gemstones.
Lin Yuan bared his teeth and pretended to be fierce.
Their understanding of each other had gotten better after interacting these past days. Lu Ye asked: “There are zombies inside?”
Lin Yuan nodded and sneezed: Stinky to death.
“It’s been hard for you.” Lu Ye said softly.
Lin Yuan was happy that Lu Ye was caring about him and shook his head: Not hard~
He pointed to the expanse of darkness and howled: I’ll go in first and kill all the zombies. Then you go in.
Lu Ye understood what Lin Yuan meant and wanted to agree, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
His eyes narrowed, and what had always been indifferent and cold seemed to have stirred into disorder like a storm. He tried hard to suppress the current in his heart, and told himself over and over again that this was Lin Yuan's volition, that Lin Yuan was willing to protect himself, and that LIn Yuan was willing to go into the dangerous area for him. Lin Yuan had dual super powers; he had the ability to protect himself. But the temperature that he felt during the night seemed to still stick to his body, leaving traces of warmth everywhere.
Just a week ago, he was ridiculed and expelled by his so-called friends. In the midst of calculating eyes and gloating, Lin Yuan was the only one who protected him. And after all of these days, only Lin Yuan would take care of himself as if he was precious.
Lin Yuan……
……
Lu Ye finally suppressed his feelings, but he was willing to give Lin Yuan some sweetness to compensate.
He took initiative to hug the wolf in front of him for the first time, and even stroked the other’s back, and whispered: “You have to be careful not to get hurt. Lin Yuan, if you get hurt, there will be no one to protect me.”
The young man's voice was a little hoarse and seductive, entangling in the prey in front of him: “Lin Yuan, you have to protect me.”
【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has decreased to 38%.】
Lu Ye’s warm breath brushed against Lin Yuan’s ears, and it created a subtle itching.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but tremble a bit, and rubbed against Lu Ye howling: En. Husband, I’ll protect you~
He broke out of Lu Ye's arms and ran energetically into the parking lot.
The darkness inside was dangerous to humans, but for wolves with night vision like himself, it was no different from being outside. Lin Yuan's sensitive hearing and sense of smell were also great assists that let him kill several zombies in a few seconds.
But to ensure Lu Ye’s safety, Lin Yuan circled the parking lot many times to make sure there was no danger, before going out to bring Lu Ye into the parking lot.
Following the principle of not wasting resources, Lin Yuan asked Lu Ye to help dig out the crystal nuclei from the zombies' heads. He used some to restore his superpowers, and then took Lu Ye to a safe entrance and entered the mall.
The first floor of this mall was for jewelry, the second floor was the supermarket, and the third and fourth floors sold clothes. Their target was naturally the supermarket.
Lu Ye tugged on the lock of the supermarket door and found that the door was unlocked, but the way inside was blocked with many things set up by survivors who were in the supermarket.
Lu Ye asked Lin Yuan to use the storage ring to remove the obstacles and then put the things back behind them after they walked through.
After spending some time, they finally entered the supermarket. The moment they were about three meters away from the cashier desk, Lin Yuan had already smelled a scent and bumped Lu Ye's hand with his head and nodded towards the desk.
Lu Ye immediately understood that if it was a zombie, Lin Yuan would have launched an attack. There should be a person behind the desk.
“Is someone there?” Lu Ye asked out loud.
The person behind the desk heard the voice and stood up immediately. When she saw Lu Ye's face, she was so excited that she ran over and threw herself into Lu Ye's arms.
Lin Yuan’s fur immediately exploded.
AHHH! Lu Ye was his husband! HIS husband!
