Arc 4: Chapter 14
Lu Ye didn’t expect to encounter Meng Mingqian and those hypocritical people again. His expression cooled and his eyes darkened as if no light could penetrate: “Long time no see.”
He silently controlled his mental power to enter the brains of these people, giving them psychological hints to make them forget some details of the scene that day and most importantly, forget that Lin Yuan had a space.
Meng Mingqian’s eyes fell on Lu Ye's face, and he asked with disbelief evident in his tone: “Lu Ye, why are you here? Didn’t you... get taken away by that wolf?”
“Wolf?” Chu Minghe looked at Lin Yuan when he heard this. The fangs that Lin Yuan had that day did indeed look like wolf fangs. Could it be that the wolf that Meng Mingqian mentioned was related to Lin Yuan?
He pretended to be ignorant and asked Meng Mingqian: “What kind of wolf? Can you say?”
Meng Mingqian nodded: “It was a white wolf with blue eyes, very large, probably twice as big as ordinary wolves.”
White hair, blue eyes, these features were very obvious, Chu Minghe just smiled and didn’t comment.
Lu Ye sneered lightly. He stretched out one hand to embrace Lin Yuan’s waist, and his other hand fiddled with the youth’s bangs, and he said lazily: “Let me introduce my boyfriend Lin Yuan. He was the wolf that you saw, he's a power user.”
Meng Mingqian was stunned for a moment. He looked closer at this young man with silver hair and blue eyes: “He’s the wolf from that day? When did you get a boyfriend? How come I never heard you talk about it?”
Lu Ye's sneer deepened: “Whether I have a boyfriend or not is my own business. Why should I tell you?”
Lu Ye didn’t bother sugar coating his words anymore. His previously gentle aura was incomparably sharp and aggressive now. A few strands of his inky hair framed his snow-white skin, his bright lips were full, and his whole person seemed to exude brilliant colors, dazzling people's sight.
Meng Mingqian's face froze slightly, and he coughed awkwardly: “Anyway, it’s good that you're fine. You didn't explain that he was your boyfriend, causing everyone to get scared and think there really was a wild beast.”
Lin Yuan snorted unhappily when he heard this, and said fiercely: “What do you mean ah! How could my husband recognize me when I looked like that? He was also scared, why do you say it like my husband did it on purpose?”
Meng Mingqian was choked by Lin Yuan's words, and coughed twice: “That's not what I meant. You misunderstood me.”
Lin Yuan felt that he had not misunderstood, and tilted his head in confusion: “But that's exactly what you said just now."
Meng Mingqian wanted to clarify, but a boy behind him interrupted: “Even if Lu Ye didn't recognize you, since you're Lu Ye's boyfriend, why didn’t you just take Lu Ye away directly? He even used you to threaten us.”
Lin Yuan puffed up in anger and argued: “You wanted to drive my husband away without even giving him a bottle of water, what's wrong with him threatening you? You can do bad things, but don't allow others to retaliate?”
The boy had forgotten about that part. His expression turned pale and a little ugly: “Well in the end didn’t he take a lot? He took a third of the food and water. He got such a big advantage from us, how dare he pretend to be a victim here.”
Lin Yuan’s blood was burning: “Are you looking for a fight?!” He rolled up his sleeves and was prepared to hit someone.
Seeing this, Chu Minghe, who was watching the drama, hurriedly came over to be the peacemaker: “Okay, okay, it's all in the past. Let's take a step back. We have to go to Nan City together later. If we can't work together, it's easy to get into trouble. For everyone else’s sake, let's let it go. What do you both think?”
The boy actually regretted opening his mouth earlier. When he saw that Chu Minghe was offering a way out, he quickly followed and said: “I can take a step back, but who knows if Brother Lu and the other is willing.”
Lin Yuan’s fist shook dangerously, what was with his annoying tone.
Lu Ye rubbed Lin Yuan's waist and comforted him silently. He looked at Chu Minghe and smiled: “Since Mr. Chu has said so, this matter can be let go. But if someone makes trouble for no reason and doesn't give Mr. Chu face, don't blame me then.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a mocking voice came from the side: “Sounds nice and all, but what can you even do as an ordinary person? Being your boyfriend must be really tiring, not only has to protect you, take care of your food and drink, but also has to help you get revenge.”
The person who said this was He Xun, who had been standing by and watching coldly.
Lin Yuan had long disliked He Xun. He immediately glared at him: “Who needs your input, I'm willing. I'm willing to do whatever my husband asks me to do.”
He Xun looked at Lin Yuan meaningfully. The wound on his arm had already scabbed, but he still remembered how he was bitten by this little beauty. This little beauty looked like a soft rabbit, but was actually very fierce. This contradictory feeling of Lin Yuan was extremely attractive. In front of Lu Ye, he was as soft as a puddle of water, but in front of others, he seemed to be a completely different person.
He Xun was really curious about what this little beauty tasted like.
“I really envy Lu Ye, having a boyfriend that treats him well. I wish I could have a boyfriend like you." He Xun said, and his eyes fell on Lin Yuan's waist. The waist of this little beauty should be very small.
Lu Ye noticed his gaze and his face dropped twenty degrees instantly. He was about to move his powers when he heard Lin Yuan say with disgust: “For someone like me, my boyfriend must be someone like my husband. Who would be with you? You smell like so many different people. So stinky, I can’t stand you for even one second.”
This was not the first time that Lin Yuan disliked the smell of He Xun. He Xun’s face froze for a second and then he sneered and said: “According to you, you can't stand anyone with a nightlife. Your requirements are too high ba.”
Lin Yuan’s voice was full of confusion: “Other people only have the smell of one person, and you have the smell of many men and women. How can you compare to them?”
He Xun wanted to say something more, but Lin Yuan didn't want to listen anymore, and pulled Lu Ye to walk away.
Lin Yuan was worried that Lu Ye would feel uncomfortable traveling with Meng Mingqian's group, and secretly peeked at him several times, and then said softly: “Lu Ye, if you don't like Meng Mingqian and those people, we can go to Nan City by ourselves.”
Lu Ye indeed didn't like Meng Mingqian and his group, actually he didn't like Chu Minghe's group either, but traveling with more power users was safer. Moreover, in order to maintain the surface-level of peaceful relations, this group of people had to endure acting nice, which was quite refreshing to see.
“It's okay. It's safer to be with them.” Lu Ye reached out and stroked Lin Yuan's hair.
Suddenly, he pushed Lin Yuan against the wall, held the other’s waist, and kneaded it gently.
Lin Yuan's waist softened quickly. He could only wrap his arms around Lu Ye’s neck tightly, and murmured a little aggrievedly: “What...what are you doing? We are outside…”
Lu Ye chuckled, lowered his head, and kissed his ear. His soft tongue gently licked the plump and soft earlobe, and then deliberately sucked it hard.
Lin Yuan couldn't stand straight anymore. The numbing itchiness spread straight to the tip of his heart. He couldn't help trembling and the corners of his eyes turned red. His bright pupils were a little hazy due to tears.
After a while, Lu Ye's kiss fell on Lin Yuan's lips. He licked his lips lightly and said: “So what? Sui Sui is mine. Is there anything wrong with me kissing the person I like?”
When Lin Yuan heard his confession, his eyelashes shook slightly. He was a little embarrassed and his voice was soft: “... No, what you said... is right.”
Lu Ye naturally did not act politely when he heard Lin Yuan’s words. He kissed the soft person in his arms all over and made him even hotter and hotter, as if he was setting a wildfire.
Lin Yuan made soft cries, as if wanting more yet also being unable to bear it.
Lu Ye felt the youth's bodily response, and said in a very low voice: “I will help Sui Sui. Sui Sui, don't move.”
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and watched dumbly as the young man in front of him knelt down.
As night fell, everything around gradually couldn’t be seen. Lu Ye used his mental power to observe Lin Yuan’s reactions. His Sui Sui had flushed eyes that seemed to be shimmering with spring water. His obedient and soft appearance made people want to bully him even more.
After they were done, Lin Yuan walked back with weak legs and a red face. His eyes swept across Lu Ye's scarlet and swollen lips from time to time, and he wanted to shrink into a ball out of shyness.
Before going to bed, Lu Ye deliberately coughed: “Sui Sui, my throat is uncomfortable, what should I do?”
Lin Yuan suddenly bristled like a frightened little animal, and his hair was about to explode. He looked around with a guilty conscience, and made sure that no one was watching them, then he carefully touched Lu Ye's lips and stammered: “You...you bear it for a bit, next time...next time I will help you, okay?...”
Of course Lu Ye was willing to get such a profitable benefit. He held Lin Yuan's hand and kissed him: “Okay, since Sui Sui said so, then I’ll bear it for a while.”

Once their supplies were almost completely collected, they were ready to set off to Nan City the next day. They had four large trucks, each filled with people, and some power users even had to walk on the road behind because there was no space.
There were many empty vehicles lying on the road, so Min Chengze, who had a metal power, moved the vehicles aside to clear the road.
After traveling like this, it took them most of the day to leave the urban area of Ning City and get on the highway leading to outside the city.
At about five o'clock, they got off the highway and prepared to spend the night on the side of the road.
Chu Minghe ordered the ordinary people to divide the work. Some people cooked, others collected firewood, or cleaned the trucks and equipment.
After dinner, Chu Minghe called out to Lin Yuan, and the two of them used their water powers together to help people wash their bodies and clothes. At the end of the world, if one didn’t pay attention to hygiene, it was easy to catch illness and diseases.
It was late at night when they finally finished. Lin Yuan huddled in Lu Ye's arms and said sweetly: “Husband, I'll keep you warm.”
He Xun smiled and said, “I'm really envious. Being a power user is not as good as having a good wife. Lu Ye, don’t you agree?”
