Chapter 238 - 5.48 Open The Door!
Early the next morning, four of them gathered in Doctor Wyatt’s office. Lu Yizhou thought that he would need more time to convince Doctor Wyatt but it seemed like the guide already had some discussions with General Ethan last night thus as soon as Lu Yizhou laid down one of the reasons he had prepared — what is the best way for us to extract information from the King except for having me as the medium? — Doctor Wyatt begrudgingly agreed.
It was Terra whom Lu Yizhou was concerned about.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Terra asked for the nth time today whilst holding onto the hem of Lu Yizhou’s sleeve, looking very much like a lost child.
Alright, here he was again, using those large puppy eyes and fluttering his enviably thick lashes on Lu Yizhou to get what he wanted because he clearly knew that Lu Yizhou was weak toward it. Lu Yizhou had to stare off the side of his head so as to not be swayed by the dangerous temptation. "I have decided." He replied. "Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me."
Terra was crestfallen after realizing that using his charm wouldn’t work. "But what if something happens? What if... What if..."
Lu Yizhou wouldn’t allow him to stew in the dark thoughts any longer. Pulling Terra closer by his waist, Lu Yizhou bent down to catch his lips into a fervent kiss. Terra let out a squeak of surprise and a few incoherent grumbles before his eyelids fluttered shut and he leaned into the kiss. Someone was clearing their throat right behind him but of course, it was ignored. Lu Yizhou gave Terra’s bottom lip one last nip before drawing back. He breathed in Terra’s scent and murmured into his lips. "I will finish this as soon as possible."
Turning around, he nodded toward Doctor Wyatt with a deadpan look as if he hadn’t just been caught kissing in public.
"Are you sure about this?" The doctor confirmed again with a poorly veiled concern in his eyes.
Lu Yizhou nodded and took the small crate from Doctor Wyatt before entering a transparent glass room where his condition would be directly monitored. Lu Yizhou took a seat on the single chair and connected multiple instruments on his body. Then he offered Terra an assuring smile through the glass before opening the crate. His nose wrinkled at the foul odor that wafted from inside. The King laid limply inside and he looked a size smaller than the last time Lu Yizhou saw it. Of course, parasites needed their vessel to survive. The King hadn’t fed in a few days, it was apparent why it had slimmed down rapidly.
