Chapter 534 - 9.4 Zombies!!!
Ripples formed on Lu Yizhou’s heart at his words. He had not thought about the real world that much because there was nothing left for him in there. He had left behind his name, his legacy and his history, letting them be covered in dust and forgotten along with the passage of time.

Zeke took one look at him and reached out to hug him. Lu Yizhou immediately went along and let himself be cocooned by the tenderness of his lover’s body, his eyes falling shut. Zeke’s fingers carded through his hair and his voice came out choked, "I think... we have a lot to talk about. Our past, present and future. But what do you think if we do it in the real world? I want to wake up and meet you. I want to introduce myself all over again..."
