Chapter 124 Going Too Far

The lights in the hallway are voice-activated, but the lights on the rooftop have been broken for a long time.

Sui Cheng covered his mouth and swallowed the sound.

The rooftop door creaked, and the motion-activated lights below immediately turned on.

The passenger was startled; his pupils constricted sharply, and his body trembled.

Lu Zhi gasped, gritted his teeth, opened the rooftop door, put his arm around Sui Cheng's waist, and went inside.

The door closed again, the hallway lights went out, and silence returned.

Sui Cheng glanced at the law enforcement officer kneeling before him, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight shone on the rooftop, as if gilding them with a layer of silver.

Lu Zhi stood up and swallowed a few times.

Sui Cheng, her eyes red and her voice trembling, said, "You, how could you..."

Lu Zhi kissed his neck and chuckled softly, "What's wrong?"

Sui Cheng remained silent, while Lu Zhi continued to kiss his neck, the movements so gentle, like a feather brushing against him, that even the tip of his heart felt ticklish.

"Does it hurt?" Lu Zhi gently stroked his back, easing his tense body.

Sui Cheng shook her head and leaned against him, feeling somewhat powerless.

The fresh scent of green leaves wafted through his nostrils.

Sui Cheng's brows instantly relaxed.

"You like it that much?" Lu Zhi asked him.

Sui Cheng nodded and shook his head, opened his eyes, looked at Lu Zhi, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound normal: "I like that window seat because every time I sit there... I feel very at ease, with the smell of green leaves and coffee."

His back tensed again, his breathing became a little erratic, and his lips were bitten, turning a deep red like blood.

"I was busy with work and under a lot of pressure back then, so I often went there, to that ivy... um..."

"What happened to that ivy?" Lu Zhi bit his neck, his voice somewhat muffled.

Sui Cheng grabbed his hair, her chest heaving, and whispered, "It's beautiful, and it shielded me from the glaring sunlight."

"That's it? Don't you feel sorry for it?" The vines wrapped around Lu Zhi's wrist moved to his palm and wrapped around his fingers. The triangular leaves, glistening with water, became even more lush and vibrant.

Lu Zhi continued, “There are so many beautiful flowers outside, and ivy is just like their foil. It blocks people’s view of the scenery, and everyone dislikes it. Don’t you feel sorry for it? When it was on its last breath, you felt sorry for it and gave it hope to live.”

“Yeah.” Sui Cheng hooked his arm around his neck, trying to relax his body, but didn’t get what he expected. He frowned at him, as if asking why they weren’t continuing.

Lu Zhi kissed the tip of his nose and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you really not want to go back?"

Sui Cheng paused, buried her face in his shoulder, bit him hard, and said in a muffled voice, "It's because I feel sorry for it that I want to take it home and raise it."

"And now? Do you still pity him?" Lu Zhi gently stroked his sweaty back.

Sui Cheng shook his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm not pitiful anymore. If I continue to be pitiful, I'll be eaten until there's not even a bone left."

“You’re right about that,” Lu Zhi said with a light laugh. “Don’t be so pitiful about things in the future, or you’ll get entangled with them.”

Just like now, she is held in the arms of the once pitiful ivy, imprisoned and controlled, her every move being provoked.

The two embraced in the corner for a while, until the evening breeze caressed them and their sweaty backs became sticky, before they finally let go of each other.

"Go back?" Lu Zhi kissed his slightly red lips.

"Um."

He put his arm around her shoulder, or rather, he was supporting her.

If you look closely, you can see that his walking movements are a bit awkward, as if he has twisted his ankle.

Even though it was just going downstairs, Suicheng walked slower and slower with each step, and his legs even trembled a little.

Lu Zhi licked his lips and said with a wicked smile, "What's going on? How come our Captain can't even walk properly?"

The servant glared at him, stood on the steps, and cursed him through gritted teeth: "You bastard!"

"Your insults are really nice." Lu Zhitian laughed shamelessly, picked up Suicheng and wouldn't let him walk on his own, and kept babbling: "Why don't you say a few more insults, I'll be even more excited."

Sui Cheng immediately shut his mouth, leaned against his chest, and closed his eyes without saying a word.

In his mind, he was complaining: "Nobody told him that mutants could be this freakish! They don't even need to use their own bodies, especially with vines like that. Freak, madman, scoundrel."

"Achoo!" Lu Zhi sneezed, placed his attendant by the door, and said as he opened the door, "Who's thinking of me?"

As he said this, he gave the passenger a meaningful look.

After opening the door, he reached out to hug him again, but the attendant slapped his hand away.

"We're already home, why are you still hugging me?"

"Alright, then you can go by yourself." Lu Zhi withdrew his hand, not bothering to help him up, and just watched him from behind.

Sui Cheng had only taken two steps when he let out a soft hum and leaned against the door frame.

Lu Zhi laughed like a pervert from behind.

Sui Cheng turned around and glared at him, and he immediately covered his mouth to suppress his smile.

"Brother, why are you so late?" Sui Ling had been waiting for them. Hearing the door open, she came out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes as she asked, "Have you eaten? I'll cook you something."

Sui Ling didn't see the momentary look of panic on her brother's face and walked straight to the kitchen.

"No, no need." Sui Cheng tried to keep his voice calm as he called out to Sui Ling, "You should go back to sleep. We're not hungry."

With a smile in his eyes, Lu Zhi echoed, "Yes, I'm not hungry, I just ate."

He emphasized the words "eat your fill," and his attendant gave him a sharp look.

"Alright." Sui Ling then looked at the two people standing in the entrance hall, and just one glance woke her up from her drowsiness.

Her clothes and hair were disheveled, the buttons on her collar were undone, and ambiguous marks could be seen on her neck. Her face was calm, but her ears were bright red.

Looking at Lu Zhi again, his black hair was messy, but his clothes were still neat. He had his hands in his pockets and leaned lazily to one side, exuding a sense of satisfaction.

Sui Ling: "..." She sensed it keenly.

Her beautiful, fresh-faced daughter was thus snatched away by a handsome pig.

So annoying!

"Go back to sleep now!" When Lu Zhi saw that she still hadn't left, his tone became stern, feeling that his sister's gaze was too strange at the moment.

"Oh, okay." Sui Ling quickly snapped out of her daze, hurried back to her room, and closed the door.

As soon as Sui Ling left, Sui Cheng's body, which he had been holding up, went limp, and his back was soaked with sweat.

Lu Zhi quickly scooped the person into his arms and carried him back to the room.

"I underestimated my baby, she's really good at holding back!"

"Lawyer! Get out and sleep on the sofa!" Sui Cheng, enraged, pushed the person out and locked the door behind him.

The lawyer, locked out: "!!!!"

Oh no, we've gone too far!
