Arc 4: Chapter 33
Instead of leaving Nan City immediately, Lin Yuan took Lu Ye around the city to gather some more supplies. In the past two months, he had been thinking about what they should do in the future, and ultimately he wanted to find a deserted place to live with Lu Ye peacefully. With their powers and supplies, they could live happily for a long time.
But Lin Yuan still held a grudge in his heart against Meng Mingqian and those other power users. They were the reason why Lu Ye got hurt, how could there be a thing such as hurting other people and not paying any price?
Lin Yuan debated in his heart and decided to return to Nan City’s base. He wouldn’t let it be so easy for Meng Mingqian and his group to develop their authority in the base and live nicely.
As they gathered supplies, Lin Yuan intentionally avoided the city center where the T6 was, but just as they were about to leave the city, Lu Ye suddenly pointed to the skyscraper in the distance and said: “Sui Sui.”
Lin Yuan felt inexplicably anxious and asked nervously: “What’s wrong?”
Lu Ye didn’t know how to express what he wanted, he just called Lin Yuan again more eagerly: “Sui Sui!”
Lin Yuan pretended to not understand. He looped his arms around Lu Ye’s neck and asked innocently: “Do you want to kiss? Muah.”
He proactively Lu Ye’s lips, and flexibly pried open the other’s mouth, hooking the other's soft tongue in an attempt to divert Lu Ye’s attention.
Lu Ye’s Adam’s apple rolled and he kissed back excitedly, wrapping his hands tightly around Lin Yuan’s waist, and everything about the skyscraper was directly forgotten.
Their bodies pressed against each other without a gap, and through their clothes they could feel the other party’s warmth and heartbeat. Lu Ye kissed and kissed and became even more excited. He pressed Lin Yuan firmly against the wall and interlocked their fingers together.
Lin Yuan let out a muffled hum but continued to enjoy the kiss, he felt as if everywhere that was touching burned hotter and hotter.
They kissed each other for a long time and Lin Yuan’s mouth began to feel sore. He separated from Lu Ye's lips and panted slightly and thought to himself that his husband probably didn’t remember the skyscraper anymore.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Lu Ye pointed to the tall building and called again: “Sui Sui.”
“......”
All of that kissing was for nothing, Lin Yuan fumed. He glared at Lu Ye and said angrily: “You actually still want to go there? No, I don’t allow you to go!”
Lu Ye didn’t understand why Sui Sui was angry all of a sudden. He looked down at him worriedly and his arms that were hugging Lin Yuan loosened at a loss.
Lin Yuan noticed his small movements and half of his anger dissipated: “Lu Ye, it’s too dangerous over there, can we not go?”
His voice was soft and a little aggrieved.
Lu Ye gently patted Lin Yuan’s head to comfort him. He didn’t want to make Sui Sui sad, but when he looked at the skyscraper in the distance, the beast in his mind seemed to be triggered by something and roared with aggressive killing intent.
Lin Yuan sensed Lu Ye’s murderous aura, and he was surprised to feel that Lu Ye's aura was so oppressive he even subconsciously wanted to kneel. Although he wasn’t sure what level Lu Ye’s power was at, now that Lu Ye was actively willing to approach the T6 compared to avoiding it before, it was likely he should able to kill the T6, right?
After thinking about the pros and cons, Lin Yuan compromised and said: “Ok, we can go, but I have to go with you.”
Otherwise he would be worried to death if Lu Ye was out of his sight.
In his state, Lu Ye interpreted it as, he wanted to prepare a gift for Sui Sui, but this gift was in a very smelly and disgusting place. Sui Sui wouldn’t like this place, so he wouldn’t let Sui Sui go. But what if while he was preparing the gift, Sui Sui left?
Lu Ye scanned the surrounding buildings and came up with a way to make Sui Sui unable to leave, he thought simply, just lock Sui Sui up.
In the next moment, vines drilled from out of the ground without warning and grew rapidly, covering Lin Yuan and Lu Ye in a cage of green. The vines knitted and overlapped with each, forming a solid square-like house.
Lin Yuan looked around in confusion and asked Lu Ye: “Husband, what is this?”
But Lu Ye didn’t know how to communicate and just hugged Lin Yuan and kissed him, feeling a little reluctant to go.
He didn’t want to leave Sui Sui for even a second, but he hadn’t given Sui Sui a gift in a long time, and there was a very suitable gift close-by.
Lin Yuan stood bewildered and it wasn’t until Lu Ye left and the vines completely isolated him from the outside that he belatedly reacted. Was this… the small black room? So Lu Ye was afraid he would run away?
“......”
Lin Yuan was so speechless. He scratched his head irritably and told 521: “Right now, I can’t seem to figure out what my husband is thinking at all.”
521 also didn’t understand. How could a system understand what a madman was thinking?
Lin Yuan felt tangled, he both wanted to find Lu Ye, but he also knew that Lu Ye was doing his best to keep him safe. He sighed and sat down on the ground, and accepted the situation as it was. If he really went with Lu Ye to fight the T6, he probably would only drag Lu Ye back. Staying here was the best way.
Lin Yuan waited for what felt like half a day and saw the sky darken. Finally, he heard footsteps.
Part of the wall of vines untangled and opened like a curtain, allowing a figure to come in. In the dark, Lin Yuan could see that Lu Ye’s face was much paler than when he left, and there were black and red splatters on his clothes.
Lin Yuan’s heart trembled for a moment and then he rushed over and circled around Lu Ye. He sniffed here and there and found that the smell of blood was most concentrated on the other’s right arm.
Lin Yuan immediately lifted up Lu Ye’s sleeves and there were three jarring gashes left by zombie claws. His eyes reddened and he said with a hint of a sob: “You’re hurt.”
Lu Ye could feel the pain, but he didn’t bother to think about his injuries because there was something more important. He lifted a bag and opened the zipper, revealing the densely packed crystal nuclei. Lu Ye reached in and pulled out an orange-sized nucleus and held it in front of Lin Yuan excitedly, and said happily: “Sui Sui.” Gift.
Lin Yuan’s tears hadn’t even had the chance to fall yet, and he just stared at Lu Ye blankly.
In the past or present, crazy or normal, Lu Ye was always Lu Ye, always giving the best to himself.
This dummy!
He didn’t want any gifts, he just wanted Lu Ye to be healthy and happy.
The darkness couldn’t hide the tears that rolled down Lin Yuan’s cheeks, seeing this scene, Lu Ye suddenly panicked and didn’t know what to do.
Lu Ye threw the things in his hands onto the ground and anxiously wanted to comfort his crying lover. His hands fumbled in the air and he stammered out Lin Yuan’s name repeatedly.
Lin Yuan looked at his big dummy and felt both distressed and angry. He hit Lu Ye very lightly, like an angry kitten and said: “Why are you standing there stupidly when I’m crying? Hurry up and kiss me!”
Lu Ye quickly held Lin Yuan in his arms and kissed the wet tears on his face and eyes over and over again. His lips fell softly and gently, as if he was holding his most precious treasure in the world.
Under his coaxing, Lin Yuan gradually stopped crying and laid in Lu Ye’s arms like cotton candy, soft and sweet. After a while, he whispered: “Lu Ye, I don’t need gifts, so don’t give me gifts anymore. I only want you… only you… do you get it?”
Lu Ye also calmed down and sat on the ground, pulling Lin Yuan into his lap and buried his face in the other’s neck, sniffing Lin Yuan’s scent.
A little bit later, when he called out “Sui Sui”, his voice was laced with inexplicable impatience. Lin Yuan understood what he wanted in a heartbeat and felt like laughing a little. He mused to himself, didn’t his husband feel tired after killing zombies?
But Lin Yuan also wanted to be intimate with Lu Ye. He consented softly: “Okay.”
Lu Ye raised his head and pressed their lips together, savoring the softness and sweetness. The tip of his tongue swept across Lin Yuan’s palate, leaving a wet trail.
Lin Yuan let Lu Ye do whatever he wanted. In between kisses, he murmured repeatedly: “I just want you…”
“Only you…”
