Chapter 057 – This Tragic End of the World: A Gentle Little Submissive – “Lightning Warning” (07/09)
His parents and Guo Yu were watching TV.
Hearing the door open, the He couple tried to suppress their excitement while Guo Yu got up and went to greet them.
When he saw the person following Xie Chenyang, he froze in his tracks.
Xie Chenyang smiled. “Little Fish, look, isn’t this your lost brother?”
Guo Yu: “Brother–”
Jing Lun bypassed Xie Chenyang, grabbed Guo Yu’s arm, and stifled his voice. “Take me to your room.”
Guo Yu looked confused, but still subconsciously obeyed him and took him to his room.
Mother He thought that the brothers surely had a lot to talk about after being reunited, so she patted Father He’s leg and didn’t worry about it anymore.
Xie Chenyang pulled Yue Qing to sit on the sofa next to Father He and Mother He. “I don’t think they look alike at all. I’m afraid Little Fish was picked up.”
“What are you talking about?” Mother He said softly. “Xiao Yu grew up in an orphanage and Jing Lun is the brother he met there.”
They grew up together in the orphanage, and after coming of age, they left and lived together, working and studying while supporting each other.
They were no less affectionate than real brothers.
Xie Chenyang: “So they’re not blood brothers.”
After Jing Lun pulled Guo Yu into the room, the string that had been tugging at his heart gave way.
“Who bullied you?”
Guo Yu’s face turned pale, and his lips trembled. “I… I…”
Could it be that Brother Chen told him?
Jing Lun took off his glasses and put them in his pocket, revealing his narrow eyes and sharp eyebrows. “Speak.”
Guo Yu subconsciously shuffled two steps back. Jing Lun had never been so fierce with him before, and he was a little scared.
As for how he was bullied… It was painful to talk about.
He didn’t want him to know. He didn’t dare let him know.
After losing track of Guo Yu, Jing Lun had been worried about him every day. Just now on his way here, he had imagined all the ways Xiao Yu could have been bullied, and he was on the verge of losing control.
Guo Yu was still hedging, clearly not wanting to talk. Jing Lun reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him closer.
Guoyu’s lips trembled slightly. “Brother, don’t hit me. I–I wasn’t bullied…”
However with that tug, Guo Yu’s shoulder-length hair flew off his neck, revealing several overlapping plasters.
Jing Lun’s pupils contracted, and he reached out and tore them off.
“Ugh…” It hurt.
Guo Yu quickly covered the side of his neck with his hand.
But it was too late.
Jing Lun clearly saw the scratches on his neck.
“Who was it?”
Realizing he couldn’t hide it anymore, Guo Yu felt both ashamed and panicked. “Chen Ge already avenged me. Brother, don’t be angry. I–I didn’t want to.”
Guo Yu looked distraught.
Jing Lun’s eyes were bloodshot as he reached out and pressed Guo Yu’s head against his chest.
Guo Yu’s words were swallowed back into his stomach, and tears suddenly flowed uncontrollably, soaking his clothes.
Jing Lun closed his eyes. “I’m sorry, I was too late.”
His hand was placed on Guo Yu’s lower back, and his gentle healing ability gradually flowed into his body.
All the marks on Guo Yu’s body gradually disappeared, and his previous discomfort and exhaustion also vanished.
Jing Lun tilted his head slightly and gave Guo Yu a restrained kiss on the top of his head. “From now on, I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”
Xie Chenyang had also said this. But when Guo Yu heard Jing Lun’s words, the grievances in his heart suddenly boiled over, and his silent crying turned into loud sobbing.
In the living room, Mother He and the others could faintly hear Guo Yu’s cries.
Xie Chenyang said, “The soundproofing is so good, and we can still hear crying. He’s crying so loudly, isn’t he afraid of damaging his throat?
Mother He: “What do you know? It’s normal for family to cry when they’re reunited.”
When she saw Xie Chenyang, didn’t she secretly wipe away her tears?
“I didn’t cry.”
You Huang: “When you search high and low and can’t find your lover, you’ll cry even harder than Guo Yu.”
[How is that possible?]
You Huang: “You’re not going to cry?”
[With my father here, how could I not find him?]
You Huang said tactfully, “I’m not omnipotent.”
[You are!]
You Huang: “…” The helplessness of an old father.
Should he be secretly happy that his adopted son trusted him so much, or should he worry that one day his omnipotence would fail in front of his son?
When it was almost dark, Jing Lun finally came out of Xiao Yu’s room.
Xie Chenyang: “Where’s Xiao Yu?”
“He’s asleep.”
Jing Lun put his glasses back on, calm and refined. “These must be your parents, right? I’ll heal you now. Thank you for saving my Little Fish and taking care of him.”
Mother He smiled gently. “That child has helped us a lot. He is now our son too. We are family, so there’s no need to say such things.”
Compared to her husband, Mother He’s injuries were easier to treat.
Jing Lun said, “It may take two days to fully heal your husband’s injuries.”
Father He looked at his wife’s restored appearance and said happily, “It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry.”
Xie Chenyang got up and said, “Then Ah-Qing and I will go back now. Call me if anything happens.”
When he helped them buy clothes during the day, he also bought them cell phones and SIM cards.
“Okay, be careful on your way home.”
Xie Chenyang’s apartment was on the next street.
They left their car behind and walked home.
As soon as they got home, Xie Chenyang reached out and hugged Yue Qing, nuzzling his shoulder. “It’s been a busy day. Let’s take a shower together, hmm?
Yue Qing reached out his hand.
”Trying to refuse me? No way.”
Xie Chenyang chuckled, bent down and picked him up, carrying him straight to the bathroom.
Xie Chenyang carried Yue Qing into the bathroom, put him down, took off his clothes, stood under the shower head, and stood comfortably under the hot water.
Yue Qing stared at his exposed neck and his throat moved.
This man was seducing him. His zombie instincts were about to be brought out. He had to suppress them.
Feeling his intense gaze, Xie Chenyang turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Yue Qing approached him and licked the water that had fallen on him. “I’m hungry.”
Xie Chenyang: [Fuck, does he want to eat me? Can’t he resist his zombie instincts? Should I cut off a piece of meat and feed it to him?]
There was no response.
Oh, dad usually isn’t around when I’m shielded.
Yue Qing was still eyeing him hungrily.
Xie Chenyang reached out and grabbed his braid, tugging him under the showerhead, coaxing. “No, if you eat human flesh, your body will rot.”
Yue Qing: “I…”
Xie Chenyang reached out and undid his braid. Passing his hand through his now loose hair, he pinned him down. “You can’t eat flesh or blood. I can give you something else to eat, but you can’t really eat it. It’s just to satisfy your craving, understand?
“If you dare bite me, I’ll dig out your crystal core and you won’t even be able to be a zombie.”
Then we’ll see you in the next world.
“Eat.”
It was noon when Xie Chenyang and Yue Qing returned to He parents’ new house.
Jing Lun had stayed overnight. Therefore, he was also there.
“He Chen, can we talk in private?”
Xie Chenyang followed Jing Lun to the balcony.
Xie Chenyang took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and offered one to Jing Lun.
Jing Lun shook his head. “No, I don’t smoke. Thank you.”
“So, what’s the matter?”
“Eastern District’s Zeng Shun is the nephew of Eastern District’s boss, Zhang Ping. Someone must have seen you when you went there.” Jing Lun raised his brow slightly. “Zhang Ping is very vindictive. You went onto his turf and messed with his nephew. He won’t let you off the hook.”
Xie Chenyang exhaled a mouthful of smoke and raised his eyebrow. “You think I’m afraid of him?”
“He’s very powerful and has a group of people with special abilities working for him.”
“So what?” Xie Chenyang flicked the ash from his cigarette. “Is that all you wanted to say?”
Jing Lun hesitated. “If you don’t want to attract trouble, you can free Zeng Shun. I’ll avenge Xiao Yu.”
Xie Chenyang: “You wish.”
Jing Lun: “?” He just didn’t want Xie Chenyang to get into such big trouble, dragging his parents into it and making Xiao Yu sad. How could that be wishful thinking?
“Don’t you just want to avenge Little Fish with your own hands? Don’t even think about it. I won’t let them out,” Xie Chenyang said with a smirk. “If Zhang Ping wants to come, let him come.”
A complicated look flashed in Jing Lun’s eyes.
Seeing that his cigarette was close to the filter, Xie Chenyang put it out and waved his hand dismissively. “No matter how strong Zhang Ping’s special ability is, without enough space to use it, he’s useless.”
“You’re at the same level, and his special ability is extremely destructive lightning. You may not be able to control him with your spatial ability,” Jing Lun analyzed rationally, offering a friendly warning.
Xie Chenyang suddenly understood. “I see, water conducts electricity. When we capture him, we’ll turn on the water and if he dares to use his ability, he’ll be electrocuted.”
Jing Lun took a deep breath. “The base’s higher-ups have been tolerating the arrogance of the East District for a long time and are ready to take action. You’re a Level 5 ability user under the base’s authority. If Zhang Ping attacks you, you can take the opportunity to cooperate with the higher-ups.”
”Got it. If he comes looking for me, I’ll bring him to the leaders.
Xie Chenyang felt Yue Qing’s frequent glances and stopped talking to Jing Lun. He strode back to the living room, sat down next to Yue Qing, picking up his hand to hold it. “Dad, Mom, what do you want to eat today?”
Mother He: “Xiao Yu is already cooking.”
Xie Chenyang took a sniff and indeed smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen.
Jing Lun greeted the He parents and went to the kitchen to help.
“Ahem.” Father He clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
Xie Chenyang glanced at him.
Father He narrowed his eyes. “Ah-Chen, do you see anything different about your mother today?”
Xie Chenyang moved his gaze slightly. “Mom’s face looks better.”
Father He: “And?”
And?
Xie Chenyang glanced up and down and asked in confusion, “Her complexion is better.”
Father He frowned. “Your mother is wearing the new dress you bought her!”
Xie Chenyang: “…” Isn’t it normal for people to wear new clothes? What’s so surprising about that?
Father He hinted, “Your mother usually wears plain clothes, but today she’s wearing a dress.”
Xie Chenyang thought about it for a moment and said seriously, “I understand. I bought it too big. Next time, I’ll buy a smaller size.”
Perhaps because life was difficult, the He parents were both very thin.
But Xie Chenyang felt that starting from today, they would eat well and gain weight quickly, so he bought them clothes based on their previous sizes.
It seemed that they still wanted clothes that fit them well.
Father He: “…”
Mother He couldn’t help but laugh loudly. “Alright, I should have told you that you were fooling around. Don’t make things difficult for our Ah-Chen.”
You Huang: “Sigh.”
[Dad, why are you sighing?]
You Huang: “Your dad clearly wants you to praise your mom.”
[If he wants me to praise her, he should just say so. How would I know he wants me to praise her if he doesn’t say anything?]
You Huang: “He overestimated you.”
Guo Yu carried out a plate of food, smiling with his eyes curved into crescent moons. “Mom looks very healthy and energetic in her new dress, right, Brother Chen?”
Guo Yu was a good cook, and Xie Chenyang praised him while eating, not forgetting to pick food for Yue Qing with his chopsticks.
Perhaps it was because he felt that he was a zombie and didn’t want to waste food. He always ate very little and whatever he had, without being picky.
Yue Qing looked at the small mountain of food in his bowl and said coldly, “Enough, eat by yourself. Don’t serve me anymore.”
Even if you try to serve it, it will fall off the plate.
Just then, there was a loud thunderclap, and the front door was blown open along with a section of the wall.
The food in Yue Qing’s bowl shook and fell to the floor.
Xie Chenyang: “…” Damn it!
