Chapter 233 - 5.43 He Can Hear Us?!
When Lu Yizhou and Terra emerged from the isolation room with a newly formed bond and fresh outfits, it was already late into the evening. Lu Yizhou glanced at the clock on the wall and frowned. It’s six past twenty. Had they really spent such a long time locked inside the room? Judging from the blush rising on Terra’s face, his lover seemed to be mulling over the same thing.
"Oh God." He buried his face into his palms. "Did we really spend 14 hours fucking?"
Lu Yizhou gave him an amused look. "You were sleeping soundly for four full hours."
"Ten hours then!" Terra threw him a scathing glare as if daring him to deny his claim once more. Lu Yizhou compliantly kept his mouth shut. "Ugh, what would Doctor Wyatt think we were doing in there?"
Of course, he was a doctor. He must have known what they were doing, especially after supplying Terra with the porn website and flimsy nightgown to aid with his mission. Lu Yizhou didn’t voice any of that out loud. It was endearing how thin his lover’s face was after all of the seduction attempts he had done that almost caused Lu Yizhou to lose his soul. Lu Yizhou pulled him closer by his waist and dropped a kiss on his temple. "Are you hungry? We should search for food first."
As soon as Lu Yizhou said that, Terra’s stomach growled loudly. The guide let out a choked sound and glared at his own belly as if it had betrayed him. Lu Yizhou huffed out a quiet laughter, his heart so fond that he didn’t know what to do with all these feelings.
The entire hospital had been evacuated and the sunset poured a golden glow through the open window. They walked along the empty hallway, footsteps echoing against the wall. Monroe and Blackie had come out at some point, going ahead of them with Monroe flapping his wings in earnest whilst Blackie perched on top of it, curled up into a loaf. "Do you want me to carry you like that?" Lu Yizhou asked, just for the sake of teasing.
Terra harrumphed, albeit his face was slightly red. "You don’t even have your wings anymore. Don’t bother, I don’t want you to collapse out of exhaustion."
Just as he said it, Monroe skittered midair and both spirit animals tilted dangerously to the side. Blackie held on to the horned eagle with a loud, concerned ’mroow!’ just as Monroe regained its balance and glanced back at the cat with mirth in his eyes, chirping happily. If not for his eagle feature, Lu Yizhou thought it must be smirking. In the end, Monroe earned a furious bite of Blackie’s sharp teeth on his horns just as it deserved.
