Chapter 706: Is This A Challenge?
"Oh..." It was not only Lu Yizhou whose emotions were stirred by all of the revelations. Zeke’s eyes became hot and he could not hold back his tears either.
He had always thought of himself as an emotionless monster. All those mundane feelings that humans had, he had considered it as a miracle that he would not be able to attain for a lifetime. However, he glimpsed upon that wonder with Lu Yizhou for the very first time.
Perhaps at that time, when they spent three years together in that wooden cabin, his heart had already been moved by this taciturn, dreary yet gentle assassin. Alas, it was not until he entered the simulator did he realize that there was a name for this emotion – love. He loved this assassin. He loved him so, so much. And as soon as he admitted it, those feelings snowballed with an unstoppable momentum until it became a massive entity that filled every inch of his body and soul to the brim.
Again and again, they had found each other only to be separated.
But this time, they could finally own a lifetime – a real, genuine lifetime.
Zeke shakily moved to hug Lu Yizhou closer as fat droplets of tears rolled down his cheeks. "I love you too. Lu Yizhou, I love you too much..." he trembled with the weight of the feelings he had for this man, they were too powerful and magical and his chest was going to burst apart soon if he did not vent it out. Tilting his head, he latched his lips along the man’s sharp jaws and pleaded desperately, "Kiss me... Lu Yizhou, please–mmh!" Zeke’s incoherent murmurs abruptly ended in a strangled gasp when Lu Yizhou’s lips crashed against him.
His eyelids fluttered shut as he fully immersed himself in the most emotional kiss they had ever shared. The way they sought and tore into each other’s lips were akin to a dying man who desperately struggled for the last drop of oxygen to live. As if they would perish into dust if they were to stop even for air. Zeke felt a sharp sting followed by the metallic taste of blood on the tip of his tongue, yet rather than stopping, it made the passion of fire in their bodies burn hotter instead.
When Lu Yizhou licked the seams of his lips and invaded his mouth to entangle with his tongue, he could not resist a soft moan escaping his lips. All of a sudden, he recalled the last time Lu Yizhou had kissed him this roughly was when his identity was still experiment subject 55, and it made him cry even harder. He pressed closer to Lu Yizhou and his fingers moved to tug on his blonde hair. He gave Lu Yizhou’s tongue a harsh suck before easing back, panting, "Don’t..." he swallowed past the lump of his throat, the tears blurring his vision as he let out a raw, heartfelt plea that gutted Lu Yizhou’s right on the weakest spot of his heart. "Don’t leave me again, okay...?"
What happened these past few hours had really scared him. And exactly because he knew how destructive Lu Yizhou was that it became all the more horrifying. Zeke could not imagine how he could fare without Lu Yizhou in his life. No! He didn’t even want to think about it! Absolutely not!
"I won’t..." Lu Yizhou caught his lips again, nibbling, as he murmured a solemn vow amidst the fervent kisses. "This life of mine has already become yours, sweetheart. Until the day you tell me to go, I won’t ever leave you..."
Their warm and heated breath intermingled with each other, and their lips tasted of blood and salty tears. It could not be any more perfect.
