Chapter 533 - 9.3 Voice Note
This one reunion was so touching that both of them needed a few moments to regain themselves. Even then, they were unwilling to be separated from each other. When Zeke boiled water, Lu Yizhou would stand behind him and hung his arm loosely around his waist. When Lu Yizhou went to the bathroom to wash his face, Zeke would drap himself over his back and acted like a boneless limpet. They chatted about whatever that came to mind. There had been too many things they went through together but it was not until Zeke regained his memory that they could discuss it further.
They lay together in the bed, with Zeke leaning against his shoulder and Lu Yizhou’s fingers twiddling with his long hair.
"What about Ellie?" Lu Yizhou asked tentatively. "Last time, she said she was going to sleep and only left a short message to Ella. Is she okay?"
Zeke snorted. "Yes, don’t worry, she’s just asleep. Ellen suspected that Ellie knew something about his corruption and because he feared she was going to tell you, he forced her to sleep. He just didn’t expect that Ellie would leave a message for Ella before she did. That man held no precautions against Ella at all." Now that he thought back about it, Zeke could not help but curse Ellen’s oversight, "Foolish. Who does he think you are? Even if he tried to hide it, you’re still going to know one way or another!"
Lu Yizhou was amused at how he talked about himself like he was narrating another’s experience. Or maybe... it was just his coping mechanisms. After all, his personalities were distinctly different in each world...
Still, Lu Yizhou could not resist commenting, "Perhaps he was just not certain what kind of reaction I would have. I understand that fear."
Memories surfaced in Lu Yizhou’s mind. In the third world, he had killed someone in front of Oliver and decided to hide himself for fear that Oliver would be afraid of him. When he put it that way, were they not one and the same? A wistful sigh escaped Lu Yizhou’s lips at the thought.
He tucked the strand of Zeke’s hair behind his ear and told him seriously, "I love every side of you, no matter how silly, headstrong or insufferable you are. Do you hear me? I will love you no matter what."
Zeke pursed his lips but otherwise remained silent.
