Chapter 590 - 9.60 I Can? [M]
Zhao Bolin had really been prepared for death. However, the long awaited pain did not come. Through the loud hammer of the downpour, he heard Lu Yizhou say, "No..." His voice was ragged as if the heavy panting had eroded it thin, so soft and filled with painful pleading. "Won’t bite you... I won’t bite you..."
Zhao Bolin gasped when Lu Yizhou’s lips moved to his shoulder and bit down gently on the fabric of his pajamas, as though it was the only way he could prevent himself from truly drowning in desire. The tremor which shook through him intensified. The hands braced beside Zhao Bolin’s head had long since balled into fists and right now, Zhao Bolin could even hear his knuckles cracking from how hard he was clenching them.
"I won’t bite you..." Lu Yizhou said again, more to himself. This time, his scorching lips were planted on Zhao Bolin’s upper arm, still covered in pajamas, suckling and licking.
All of a sudden, Zhao Bolin seemed to realize that perhaps, he was not the only one who had it hard. When he was struggling to suppress his desire, fooling himself again and again that it was only the thirst of knowledge that attracted him to the other and nothing else, perhaps... Lu Yizhou was also fighting his own battle.
But it was clearly much more difficult for him. His body had changed beyond recognition, yet his soul was still human. Tethering between the edge of desire and hunger, not knowing when he would lose control of himself, afraid that he would unknowingly hurt another...
Everything was suddenly crystal clear in Zhao Bolin’s mind. And at the same time, he also realized what Lu Yizhou wanted.
He bit down on his lips, struggling. He knew that if he were to say this, then... their ambiguous relationship would undergo a massive change. This undefine intimacy was only separated by a thin paper window. And Lu Yizhou had given him the control. This time, it was up to him to poke it through, to tear the barrier down and step into Lu Yizhou’s life. Once he did... there would be no going back. Zhao Bolin tried to check in on himself and found no resistance whatsoever. He could not help but laugh mockingly at himself. Exactly where his bottom line was when it came to Lu Yizhou? Even he had difficulty discerning that.
Letting out a sigh, Zhao Bolin lifted his head to tug his collar tighter to himself. Before Lu Yizhou could take it as a sign of rejection, he said, "...Okay." Then thinking that he had not made himself clear, he elaborated, "It’s okay, Lu Yizhou. I understand. You can—"
Before he even finished his sentence, Lu Yizhou suddenly lifted his head and a pair of abyss-like eyes stared at him unblinkingly. Zhao Bolin momentarily forgot what he was going to say, too mesmerized by how dazzling those eyes were. This... This was truly unfair! He had clearly been trying to get a glimpse on Lu Yizhou’s face to no avail and now that he had softened up, the zombie decided to step up the game! Zhao Bolin’s cheeks heated up. How could he possibly confess when he was being stared at so intensely like this?!
