Chapter 277 - 6.37 Him Or Me?
Ridiculous! Lu Yizhou had tried to keep his composure until he could gauge Izher’s true intentions but when the latter suddenly threw these two choices in front of Jillian’s face, how could he stand still? Choosing between him and the country Jillian had been protecting? Was there anything more ridiculous than that?!
[Don’t exhaust yourself.] Izher suddenly appeared in front of him so close that their noses brushed against each other. Lu Yizhou sucked in a surprised breath. It took him a second to realize that Izher was speaking directly into his mind, just like 666 always did. He guessed it was fair, considering how he had taken 666 hostage.
It was difficult to discern where Izher was looking at with his wholly black eyes, but Lu Yizhou had a tingling sense that he was staring at Lu Yizhou’s lips. Unrelenting. Lu Yizhou’s heart skipped a beat He had no qualms kissing his lover — hell, he would welcome it anytime — but deliberately doing it in front of Jillian and ended up causing him to show such a devastated look... Lu Yizhou’s heart was heavy just by thinking about it.
[You have always forsaken yourself for our sake, you will burn the world down to keep us safe — anything.] Izher added quietly. [But will he do the same? Can he forsake his country for you? I can. If you say it, I will destroy the world for you. But what about him? If he can’t even do this kind of thing then it means he isn’t worthy to be by your side.]
Goodness... Lu Yizhou wanted to facepalm. Was it jealousy he detected from Izher’s tone? As much as he appreciated the sentiment, he really wanted to smack some sense into that pretty head of his. What was worthy and what was not?
You are one and the same! Lu Yizhou wanted to hammer the fact into him. Can you not get jealous of each other?
He knew that his lover was quite possessive and unreasonable when it came to him but this... this had clearly steered toward a dangerous area!
Jillian had his head lowered, messy bangs rendering Lu Yizhou unable to see his face. Only the slight quiver on his shoulders betrayed his restlessness. "You want me to choose between Regius and my country...?"
"That’s right!" Izher swiveled toward him with renewed vigor. This time he was grinning, displaying two rows of jagged sharp teeth. "So which one will you choose? Should I time you? One minute? Thirty seconds?"
Instead of answering, Jillian said, "When I was a child, my father once said that if there comes a time when I am forced to choose between two important things, it’s not anyone’s fault but mine. It’s because I am weak that my enemy can drive me to such a corner!" He snapped his head up and glared at Izher with bloodshot eyes. "You’re right, I am weak and useless. I am no match for you, but!" He looked at Lu Yizhou and declared whilst looking deep into his eyes. "Regius or my country, I will have them both even if I have to fight and lose my life because of it!"
Izher raised a brow. "Aren’t you selfish to want them both?"
