Arc 4: Chapter 8, 9 tw: mentions of self-harm
Although Lu Ye’s voice was very light, Lin Yuan still heard him. He blinked in confusion.
Huh? Why couldn’t he pursue his husband anymore?
Lu Ye whispered: “You should go. When I can’t hold on anymore, I’ll kill myself. I don’t want you to see me like that.”
Lu Ye thought it would be too cruel for Lin Yuan to see the person he liked die in front of himself. He didn't want Lin Yuan to be too sad.
Lin Yuan wanted to anxiously resolve this misunderstanding. He hurriedly bit Lu Ye’s clothes and dragged him in the direction of the apartment.
In the plot, Lu Ye was feverish and in pain for two days after being bitten. Lin Yuan wanted to bring Lu Ye into a safe environment and put him on the bed. It was definitely more comfortable to lie in bed than on the ground.
It was rare to see Lu Ye so obedient, and he even trotted to follow Lin Yuan .
They arrived in front of the apartment and Lin Yuan scratched the door and whined to Lu Ye: Husband, hurry up and open the door!
Lu Ye quietly lowered his eyes. On the way back, Lu Ye had thought a lot. He thought about Lin Yuan’s warm hugs during the night, Lin Yuan’s whole-hearted love, Lin Yuan’s indulgence, Lin Yuan’s protection, and all of the heavy feelings that Lu Ye could see in Lin Yuan’s icy blue eyes every time he looked at him.
Previously, Lu Ye planned to make Lin Yuan pursue him for longer before agreeing to be with him, so that he could deepen Lin Yuan’s feelings and better control the other. But now he regretted not promising Lin Yuan earlier.
This world was already devastated and death was chasing on humanity’s heels. It was so difficult to live, how could they waste time? Every second shouldn’t be wasted.

【Di! Congrats host, the villain’s blackening value has dropped to 30%.】
Lu Ye suddenly sat down and hugged Lin Yuan. He held him very tightly, and his hot breath fell near Lin Yuan’s ear: “... Sui Sui…”
Lu Ye thought he probably wouldn’t have a chance to call Lin Yuan this in the future.
“Sui Sui…”
“Sui Sui…”
Lu Ye kissed Lin Yuan’s nose and said in an uncharacteristically gentle voice: “Sui Sui… accompany me, okay?”
Stay with him for another ten minutes, no, another half an hour. He could probably hold on for another half an hour, probably…
Lin Yuan felt a warm, soft touch skimming his nose like a dragonfly, gentle and short.
He twisted in Lu Ye’s arms and patted the door with his paws and howled: Go in. Go in and I’ll accompany you!
Lu Ye understood and shook his head. He whispered seriously: “Sui Sui, I won’t go. I don’t want to dirty the inside. After you turn back to human, you can live here...”
He paused and swallowed a mouthful of blood, and said hoarsely: “Don’t let your future home get… dirtied by zombies.”
Lin Yuan was originally worried that Lu Ye would later be in pain because of his fever, but hearing his words, he got angry and fiercely howled.
He huffed and scratched out words with his claws. This time, they were pure Chinese characters.
If you say more, I will get angry!
Lu Ye hurriedly coaxed him and hugged Lin Yuan again: “Sui Sui, sorry. I won’t say anymore, don’t be angry, ok?...”
He wanted to treasure their last moments together.
Lin Yuan refused to let him hug and patted the door harder: Open the door! Hurry and open the door!
Lu Ye hesitated: “Sui Sui, I……”
Lin Yuan howled even stronger: What are you going to say now?!
Lin Yuan’s look of baring his teeth made him look like a natural, fierce beast, but Lu Ye didn’t feel any fear at all.
Lu Ye approached Lin Yuan and stretched out his hand. His slender fingers stroked Lin Yuan’s back.
Lin Yuan was still angry and didn’t want to touch him, but Lu Ye hugged him too domineeringly like he wanted to merge their bodies and souls together.
“Lin Yuan, can you listen to me? Do you want to kill me after I turn into a zombie instead? Can you do it?”
Lu Ye kissed Lin Yuan’s fur: “Be good, Sui Sui. Listen to me. I’ll just hug for a bit. Just for a bit.”
What else could Lin Yuan do? He could only stay still and let Lu Ye hug him.
Lu Ye felt the wolf stop struggling and the gloominess in his eyes dissipated a little. He stroked Lin Yuan’s back slowly, unlike someone who was facing death.
“Sui Sui is so warm, it’s very comfortable to hug.”
Lin Yuan snorted. There was no use praising him.
Lu Ye smiled and closed his eyes gently and focused on Lin Yuan in his arms.
Warm, strong, and lively.
A person as bright and clean as Lin Yuan liked himself, while his own heart was full of calculations and manipulation. He was not worthy of Lin Yuan’s love, but at the same time, he was greedy for it.
Lu Yu even had the despicable idea of trapping Lin Yuan next to him for the rest of his life.
It was good if he could be tied to his side.
When he was alive, Lin Yuan would only like him.
When he was dead, Lin Yuan could still only like him.
The young man’s eyes gradually darkened, they thickened like sticky tar shrouded in darkness, hoping to drown the white wolf in front of him.
He hoped that neither death nor time would be able to erase his love.
His dark and paranoid thoughts were like evil spirits crawling into his heart, but he managed to suppress the idea.
Lin Yuan was already very good. Even after he died, he would probably continue to like him for a while. That was enough.
Half an hour passed quickly, and when Lu Ye estimated his time was up, he touched and rubbed Lin Yuan for the last time. He even bit Lin Yuan’s ear gently and grinded gently with his teeth before reluctantly letting go of the other.
Lin Yuan had already softened his attitude and looked up at Lu Ye with wet blue eyes and howled: Husband~
Lu Ye smiled at him and opened the door for Lin Yuan: “Go in ba.”
Lin Yuan bumped Lu Ye with his head: You go in first.
Lu Ye helplessly walked in and put down his bag. He squatted down, hugged Lin Yuan, and kissed him again.
“Goodbye Sui Sui.”
Goodbye……
Lin Yuan’s eyes widened and he quickly reacted and closed the door with his body. He even managed to pull down the lock and lock the door.
Hmph, he’ll lock his husband inside so he can’t run away.
Lu Ye dazedly watched Lin Yuan do this and his dark eyes deepened. In their depths, a cluster of fire suddenly ignited, and he felt as if even the air around him was faintly scorching.
“Lin Yuan, are you crazy?” Lu Ye’s breathing was heavy and rapid, with indescribable happiness.
Lin Yuan thought Lu Ye still thought he would become a zombie and quickly licked the young man’s hand to comfort him.
It’ll be okay, husband. Everything will be okay.
Lu Ye had no way to vent the surging emotions in his heart, and the pain in his body made him sit down slowly. He looked at Lin Yuan with burning eyes and said hoarsely: “If only you had confessed to me earlier. You’re so well-behaved and cute, I would definitely…agree to be with you……”
What Lu Ye actually wanted to say is that he would definitely like him too. But he didn’t know if he liked Lin Yuan or not. He was not completely sure that the love he could give was good or worthy enough of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan scratched many characters with his claws.
It’s okay, it’s not too late now. We have a lot of time left to be together.
When Lu Ye saw his writing, his heart couldn’t help but give rise to hope and expectation. Hope that he and Lin Yuan had a future together.
Actually, before the apocalypse, Lu Ye’s entire life was arranged by the Lu family.
It was supposed to be an excellent life, one that most people in the world couldn’t have.
Lu Ye didn’t dislike that kind of life, but he never held expectations. He just did what he had to do. Whether it was to lead the Lu family, or get married to a rich lady, have children, or live out the rest of his life.
But now Lu Ye was excited for an unknown future.
There was an obscure smile on his face, and he said suddenly: “Sui Sui, do you have a cigarette in your storage ring? I’ve never smoked before, suddenly, I want to try it.” t/n smoking is detrimental to your body and addictive, don't smoke!
Lin Yuan searched through his storage ring and found quite a few boxes, they were all picked up at the supermarket.
Lu Ye took a cigarette and lit it up with a lighter.
He inhaled lightly and the slightly spicy smoke traveled into his lungs, and then he exhaled a faint gray wisp. He didn’t like it, nor did he hate it.
He didn’t have any interest in smoking anymore, and crushed the flame under his shoe.
Lu Ye would rather hug Lin Yuan, so he did. He said slowly: “Sui Sui, do you remember what you did to me in the supermarket?” t/n he licked him lol
Lin Yuan remembered and felt a little shy, and nodded: Remember.
Lu Ye’s long eyes narrowed slightly and he seemed a little seductive.
“Who knows how long it’ll take before I become a zombie. Maybe just a few hours. Sui Sui has liked me and protected me for many days, and I don’t know how I can repay you. While I still retain my consciousness, Sui Sui can do whatever you want to me, I’ll agree to it all.”
Lin Yuan was stunned.
His husband… means…that…
Lin Yuan’s eyes seemed to be hooked on Lu Ye’s body. Because of the fever, Lu Ye’s face was flushed and his hair was slightly damp in cold sweat. His lips were temptingly red and his chest was undulating with each breath. The collar of his shirt was loosely opened, revealing his prominent collarbone.
Lin Yuan’s heartbeat pounded and quickened and he felt the blood in his body heat up.
He stared at Lu Ye for a long time, but then shook his head awkwardly and wrote: No.
Lu Ye blinked and said weakly: “Lin Yuan, do you not want to touch me? Is it because I smell like zombies? Do you hate me because of this smell?”
Lin Yuan quickly shook his head and wrote on the ground: No, no, no! I don’t not want to touch you, and I don’t hate you. Really not!
Lu Ye didn’t seem to believe it. He lowered his head and whispered: “Sui Sui, I’m sorry. I know it’s hard for you to like me now. It’s all my fault, it’s all because of me……”
Lin Yuan howled anxiously and wrote messily: I really don’t not want to touch you! Really! Believe me!
Lu Ye said faintly: “En, I believe in Sui Sui. Sui Sui doesn’t not want to touch me, doesn’t hate me. Even if Sui Sui is lying to me, I still believe you.”
Lin Yuan was going to go crazy. He had no choice but to repeat the past, and with his soft and wet tongue, lick the young man’s face a few times. He slowly moved down and swept over the young man’s Adam’s apple, leaving a warm trace.
Lu Ye now liked this kind of closeness, and like Lin Yuan touching himself.
He quietly unbuttoned his shirt, and felt the wetness spread down, and no inch of his skin was spared. It lingered on his abs for quite a while.
Lin Yuan’s beastly possessiveness was satisfied at this time. He even happily rubbed his head against Lu Ye’s abdomen.
Lu Ye’s consciousness gradually blurred and his body heated up. Very quickly, the heat crossed the limit that he could endure.
The high fever was like putting a person over a fire, the pain spread across his entire body from the inside out, and even breathing was difficult.
Lin Yuan anxiously circled around Lu Ye and wanted to put Lu Ye onto the bed, but he had no way to lift Lu Ye onto the bed.
While he patted Lu Ye with his paws to comfort him, he turned his brain to think of a way. He remembered how he used his water power the first time, so why couldn’t he also use his transformation power to change back into human?
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and clearly felt another source of energy in his body. This energy was different from his water power in that it was scattered all over his body. Lin Yuan silently guided this scattered energy into one place.
Although the theory was simple, it actually took Lin Yuan five hours to finish.
All of a sudden, the arctic wolf disappeared and a young man appeared in its place.
He was slender and soft, with pale skin, dimples on his left cheek, long eyelashes, and round apricot eyes. His expression was still a little confused, and he looked very cute.
When Lin Yuan saw that he could see colors again, he knew that he had changed back into human and quickly went over and held Lu Ye in his arms.
Lu Ye was curled up and trembling from the pain. His teeth were unconsciously clenched, and his veins looked like they were about to burst.
Lin Yuan was surprised to find that he could effortlessly carry Lu Ye, it turned out that power users were so strong.
He carried Lu Ye onto the bed and softly laid the other down. His slender fingers wiped away the sweat on Lu Ye’s face and his eyes slightly reddened: “It…okay…….”
Maybe it was because he hadn’t spoken for a long time, or because of his power, speaking was a little difficult for Lin Yuan.
“......Lu…Ye…… it…will… be…okay……”
Lin Yuan accompanied Lu Ye silently, when suddenly 521 came out and poked him with his small wings: “Senior…”
“Wh… What……” Lin Yuan asked.
521 said shyly: “Senior, you’re not wearing clothes…”
Lin Yuan didn’t really care because it was just him and Lu Ye in the apartment. But he still walked over to the wardrobe and put on Lu Ye’s clothes.
Lin Yuan looked at the white strands of hair over his shoulder and asked: “521… I… suddenly…have…white…hair…”
521 gazed at Lin Yuan’s handsome face with white hair and blue eyes in awe: “Yes ah! Senior, your eyes are blue. It’s probably because of your power.”
Although it was a little strange to look at himself in the mirror, Lin Yuan didn’t really think much of it.
24 hours later, Lu Ye was still in the same state and his fever did not subside. In fact, he was in even more pain. He felt as if there was someone cutting into his brain, and his throat was extremely dry. Something in his mind was saying only the sticky, red liquid could quench his thirst.
Lin Yuan anxiously held Lu Ye in his arms and asked 521: “My…husband…why…hurts…so…much…”
521 said: “Senior, when awakening a spiritual power, the transformation of the brain will be ten times harder than other powers.”
Lu Ye had to get through this pain, and Lin Yuan had no way to help. He could only hold him tightly and pat him on the back to comfort him.
After 45 hours later, the pain gradually dissipated. Lu Ye lay motionlessly in Lin Yuan’s arms. His face was as pale as paper, and only his slightly fluctuating chest signaled his vitality.
Lu Ye’s vague consciousness slowly cleared and he opened his eyes in a daze. Everything in front of him was white.
He took a few deep breaths and waited for the rest of the pain to go away, and his eyes slowly focused. It turned out that what was in front of him was a head of white hair.
Lu Ye was stunned to see a handsome young man in his arms, with long eyelashes, plump lips, and curly white hair.
Lin Yuan looked up the moment he felt Lu Ye move, and their eyes made contact.
Lin Yuan reacted in a second and jumped onto Lu Ye.
“Husband~”
