Arc 8: Chapter 19
Lin Yuan didn’t wake up until five o’clock in the afternoon the next day. The first thing he did was ask 521 if he had heard what Jin Ran said before he slept.
521 was staying outside the room the entire night, and had no idea what the villain said. It turned into a pink fluff ball and said: “Well, I only heard you Senior. You were crying like wuuu~ Husband it’s too deep. Just like that.”
Lin Yuan blushed and grabbed 521, pulling on its fur: “You… don’t learn this, understand?”
A few of 521’s hairs were pulled out and it cried bitterly: “Senior, you’re too much! You used to be a fur ball too, how can you pull out my hair?”
Lin Yuan looked at the hairs on the bed and then looked away guiltily. He rubbed the unhappy fur ball and easily coaxed the other.
521 wasn’t angry anymore, and asked with confusion: “By the way, what does ‘too deep’ mean?”
521 didn’t understand. Weren’t they just rolling around on the bed?
This question stupefied Lin Yuan. How was he supposed to explain to a fur ball?
His eyeballs turned furiously and with a voice as quiet as a mosquito, he said: “You’ll know when you and your future husband roll in the sheets…”
521 didn’t want a husband or a wife in the future. It only cared about its career!
At this time, Lin Yuan felt his stomach growl. He got out of bed and went down to the kitchen to find something to eat.
The refrigerator had fresh vegetables and meat. Lin Yuan simply made a bowl of porridge and stir-fried two dishes.
He thought of calling Jin Ran to ask if the other would be back for dinner when he suddenly realized he didn’t have Jin Ran’s phone number.
It was a little strange that Jin Ran didn’t take the initiative to give him his phone number, but Lin Yuan didn’t think any further.
Since he wasn’t sure when Jin Ran would be back, Lin Yuan ate first. As soon as he finished and put down his chopsticks, he heard the sound of the door opening.
Lin Yuan walked over to the door to welcome Jin Ran: “Husband!”
When Jin Ran stepped into the house and smelled the aroma of food, he almost couldn’t believe it. He stood frozen in place until Lin Yuan hugged his stiff body.
Jin Ran slowly wrapped his arms around Lin Yuan, indulging in this almost dreamlike warmth. His thin lips gently pressed against the other’s warm skin over and over again.
“Sui Sui…”
Lin Yuan felt Jin Ran’s grip on his waist tightened. He leaned up and kissed Jin Ran: “You came back early today ah.”
Jin Ran lowered his eyes. His silence elongated and weighed down in the space around them.
Lin Yuan realized something and he slowly shuttled his fingers between Jin Ran’s hair. He soothed in a warm voice: “Jin Ran, don’t be afraid. I’m back.”
Jin Ran was still silent. A year and a half was enough for Jin Ran to sink deeper and deeper under a quicksand of panic and despair. It was impossible for him to escape.
Lin Yuan reminded him repeatedly: “Jin Ran, I’m really back…”
Hearing Lin Yuan’s voice and having the young man in his embrace deepened the darkness and greed in Jin Ran’s eyes. His eyelashes drooped slightly and he said hoarsely: “En, I know. I know you’re back.”
Jin Ran kissed the other’s eyes and lips: “I didn’t have to work overtime today, so I came back early. Did you eat yet?”
Lin Yuan nodded: “I woke up at five so I was hungry and ate first.”
Jin Ran hummed and walked over to the dining table. Seeing the leftovers on the table, he asked with a little expectation: “I haven’t eaten the food you made for a long time, can I have some?”
Lin Yuan nodded. Was this something Jin Ran even needed to ask?
Lin Yuan heated up the dishes again while Jin Ran stood next to him. Jin Ran’s dark eyes that fell on Lin Yuan’s body were full of infatuation and obsession.
Lin Yuan put a bowl of porridge and the dishes on the table and said happily: “Try it. If there’s not enough food, I can make more for you.”
Reaching out with chopsticks, Jin Ran ate a bite of vegetables. The familiar taste made his eyes sting and his heart squeezed.
After tidying up, the two of them sat on the sofa and chatted.
Lin Yuan thought of the place he had been living in these past months and wanted to bring some of his stuff back, also canceling the lease on the way.
Jin Ran wouldn’t allow Lin Yuan to leave the house. He massaged Lin Yuan’s sore waist and said lowly: “Tell me the address, and I’ll do it for you.”
Lin Yuan felt this was troublesome for Jin Ran. But just as he was about to say so, the man patted his butt: “Sui Sui needs to stay at home to birth baby rabbits. I don’t feel at ease with you going outside.”
Lin Yuan flushed with red cheeks and pouted. He bit Jin Ran’s lips but still easily compromised: “Fine, you can do it. But you can’t say that I’m going to give birth anymore. I can’t have a baby.”
Jin Ran smiled in amusement and played with Lin Yuan’s fluffy hair: “Okay, Sui Sui can’t have a baby, he can only have rabbits…”
Lin Yuan thought angrily that Jin Ran’s rabbit fixation needed to be changed!
For the rest of the evening, the two of them chatted and flirted and then took a shower together.
Finally, they laid in bed hugging each other and fell asleep.
The next morning, Jin Ran woke up Lin Yuan to eat breakfast.
Lin Yuan got up sleepily but was quite happy when he ate. However, not long after saying goodbye to Jin Ran, he was sleepy again. Lin Yuan went back to the bedroom and continued to sleep. He slept until four in the afternoon but he was still tired.
521 dissed Lin Yuan in a quiet voice: “After coming back, except for sleeping and eating, all you do is roll in bed with your husband. It’s like the beastmen or Alpha and Omega.”
Lin Yuan heard it and was a little ashamed. He got up despite his sleepiness and went downstairs to cook dinner.
When Jin Ran pressed Lin Yuan on the bed at night, Lin Yuan thought of refusing but he couldn’t bear to.
This kind of life lasted for more than a week. 521 said with boredom: “Senior, you sleep so well now as if you were pregnant. But even when you were pregnant in the last world, you didn’t sleep this much.”
Lin Yuan also felt something was wrong. He never slept this much no matter how much he did with his husband in the previous worlds.
Could it be… he had a terminal disease?!
When 521 heard this, it immediately scanned Lin Yuan’s body. But his physical data was all normal.
Lin Yuan felt even more wrong. He tried to resist sleeping during the day, but in just a few minutes, he would fall asleep until the afternoon.
If his physical data was normal but he still wanted to sleep, could it be… drugs?
Lin Yuan recalled that his sleepiness would start after eating the breakfast that Jin Ran made.
