Arc 4: Chapter 24
Lin Yuan cared. He cared a lot. But since his husband said so, he would listen.
He was very well-behaved, and would not get angry.

Lin Yuan shook Lu Ye’s hand coquettishly and said softly: “Husband, the air around here stinks a lot. Let’s go over there, okay?”
Lu Ye looked down at his baby and the youth’s face was wrinkled with unhappiness, as if he could squeeze out grievances with a pinch from his pouted lips and puffed out cheeks. His angry appearance really made his heart swell.
Lu Ye squeezed Lin Yuan’s warm hand and smiled. He didn’t spare an extra glance to Meng Mingqian, and just coaxed his baby: “Okay, I’ll listen to you, let’s go over there.”
Lin Yuan nodded and quickly pulled his husband away. He even whispered in Lu Ye’s ear, childishly complaining: “Husband, don’t talk to Meng Mingqian and those people in the future, okay?”
But Lu Ye liked his childish behavior, his eyes lighting up.
If there weren’t so many people around, he would’ve placed Lin Yuan on his lap, felt him up wantonly, sucking, kissing, and licking until the other cried out loudly and then coaxed him afterwards.
Lu Ye’s nails dug in his palm and he forced down his restlessness. He said a little hoarsely: “Okay, I’ll do whatever Sui Sui tells me to do, since I belong to Sui Sui.”
Lin Yuan had always been weak to being coaxed and praised, and now because of Lu Ye’s sweet words, his heart was fluttering with butterflies. He suddenly secretly looked left and right, and then quickly raised Lu Ye’s hand and pressed a kiss while no one was paying attention.
“I’m also yours!” His eyes were bright and clear, expressing his love and trust. “Lu Ye, I’ll always be yours…”
“Forever…”
Lu Ye didn’t expect this sudden lovely answer and his breathing became a little disordered. The corners of his narrow eyes slightly curved and his dark eyes deepened until they swallowed Lin Yuan’s entire figure.
Everyone around them suddenly became an eyesore and he became unspeakably annoyed.
But he really wanted to be closer to Lin Yuan right now. His mind turned quickly, and then his mental strength started extending little by little, surrounding Lin Yuan carefully and caressing the youth’s eyes, cheeks, and finally his red and plump lips.
At the same time, his mental power entered Lin Yuan’s mind.
After being manipulated by Lu Ye’s mental power a few times, Lin Yuan was now more used to the feeling. His tender lips opened and his breathing became heavier. And his eyes began to tear up with mist, making his blue eyes shine like gemstones.
Lin Yuan felt his whole body go soft, and looked beggingly at Lu Ye for help and whispered: “Husband, hug…”
His voice was unbearably sticky and sweet.
Lu Ye stiffened and everything felt a little tight. He had no choice but to withdraw his mental power, otherwise, soon, he would be the one suffering.
Lin Yuan leaned against Lu Ye’s chest, still panting with wet eyes, and waited for the lingering feeling to dissipate. The novel experience made it a little difficult to extricate himself.
Finally, everyone was gathered in the hall, and Song Ting began to designate tasks.
The main goal was to kill the zombies in Nan City’s urban area. Before the apocalypse, Nan City had a population of 9.5 million, with 8.4 million residing in the urban areas.
The current survivor base only covered about one-third of the original urban area, and the rest of the land was overrun with zombies.
The base had organized similar cleanup missions before, and this was the fourth occurrence. This time, there were a total of 300 power users, who were split into 15 groups of 20, and were responsible for clearing the area of different locations around the city.
Song Ting grouped people who were familiar with each other, so unfortunately, Lin Yuan and Lu Ye were put into the same group as the other power users from Ning City.
Lin Yuan’s face immediately darkened and he let out a loud huff in anger.
Lu Ye comfortingly rubbed Lin Yuan’s hair and said gently: “It’s fine, we’ll ignore them and just concentrate on the mission.”
Lin Yuan, still frowning, said sternly: “Husband, don’t even say a single sentence to them!”
Lu Ye thought that his appearance was super cute, and he agreed softly: “En, won’t even say a sentence.”
Lin Yuan changed his mind: “No! Don’t even say a single word!”
Lu Ye chuckled lightly and dropped a swift kiss on the youth’s forehead: “Okay, not a word.”
Only then did Lin Yuan feel satisfied. He blinked his round eyes and his voice was sweet like marshmallows: “Husband, you listen so well~”
Lu Ye felt his heart being scratched and his eyes locked with Lin Yuan’s gaze, not hiding his possessiveness: “Then… how will Sui Sui reward me?”
Lin Yuan thought hard and gradually blushed. His eyes looked around erratically as his ears turned bright red.
Lu Ye could guess that Lin Yuan had thought of something and said a little expectantly: “Sui Sui, tell me.”
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and leaned closer to Lu Ye’s ear and whispered: “Let out my tail… and ears…”
Lu Ye’s eyes deepened instantly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. He whispered hoarsly: “Okay, then Sui Sui can’t go back on his word, I’ve remembered it.”
Lin Yuan looked down at the ground shyly and nodded: “...won’t go back...”

Leaving the hall, power users got on their vehicles one after another and drove to their respective assigned areas.
When Lin Yuan and Lu Ye arrived at the location, Lin Yuan didn’t say a word and dragged Lu Ye away from the rest of the power users.
The other power users complained among themselves.
“We’re all supposed to be a group, but they won’t cooperate. They really have no sense of teamwork.”
“Well, they are third level power users. They probably can’t be bothered to be part of a team. Probably think that we’ll drag them back or something.”
Luckily Lin Yuan was too far away to hear them, otherwise, he might’ve come back and beat up some people.
Since the apocalypse started, zombies had been evolving too, just like humans. The lowest ranked zombies were labeled T0, then T1, T2 etc. Most zombies were at the T1 level, only rare mutations such as the man-eating trees from before were T3.
In half a day’s time, Lin Yuan and Lu Ye killed hundreds of T1 zombies, and more than a dozen T2 zombies. While they rested, Lu Ye was in the middle of exploring the nearby buildings with his mental power, when something in it attracted his attention.
“Sui Sui.” Lu Ye called out.
Lin Yuan immediately turned to look back at him and responded: “Husband?”
Lu Ye pointed to a building, the distinct joints of his slender hand were like a work of art: “I’ll go over there and come back quickly. Make sure to not get hurt, Sui Sui, okay?”
Lin Yuan was a little worried: “Don’t get hurt either, okay?”
Lu Ye smiled and nodded: “En, I promise I won’t get hurt.”
Lin Yuan stared at Lu Ye’s departing figure until he could no longer see the other and then withdrew his sight. He took out a crystal nucleus and began to absorb the energy inside.
An hour passed and Lu Ye had still not come back, making Lin Yuan even more worried. When he was about to get up, a slender figure came into view.
Lin Yuan immediately ran over and circled around Lu Ye. Except for some blood on his clothes, there was no smell of his husband’s blood, indicating Lu Ye was not injured.
Lu Ye stretched out his arms and hugged Lin Yuan, who was spinning around him, and smiled: “Don’t worry, I’m fine. I already promised you I wouldn’t get hurt.”
Lin Yuan hummed and rubbed against Lu Ye’s cheek and said: “Lu Ye, you’re so good~”
Lu Ye’s eyes looked down at him with tenderness and warmth. He took out two walnut sized crystal nuclei and gave them to Lin Yuan: “Sui Sui, I got two T4 crystal nuclei, this time you should have them.”
