Chapter 23 You are mine

As the Ferris wheel slowly moved away from its highest point, the last rays of sunlight dissipated, and the amusement park's dreamlike neon lights began to illuminate.

Xu Yan could feel the heartbeat in his palm growing more intense, while the arms around him from behind tightened, carrying a burning possessiveness.

He suddenly sat up straight, ignoring Chi Chen's almost burning gaze, turned to look out the window, and said slowly and calmly, "The fireworks are about to go off."

As soon as the words were spoken, a bright light rose above the distant castle, followed by the first golden flame. Accompanied by synchronized music, fireworks of different colors illuminated the night sky.

Colorful light and shadow flowed outside the window, and Xu Yan saw their blurry reflections on the glass.

The sound of fireworks brought Chi Chen back to his senses. He looked down at Xu Yan's back and sensed a hint of loneliness.

It makes you want to hug him tightly.

Xu Yan's actions just now... did she really have feelings for him? Chi Chen couldn't think straight.

He felt as if he had lost the ability to lie when Xu Yan's palm touched his chest.

Chi Chen didn't want to admit it, but he seemed to really not want to see Xu Yan looking sad.

The fireworks display outside the window reached its grandest moment, with a golden waterfall cascading down. Amidst the deafening roar, Chi Chen hugged Xu Yan tightly from behind, his tall figure completely shielding him from view.

A clear voice rang in Xu Yan's ears, "I like you."

It's not that I want to sleep, it's not that I love you frivolously.

Xu Yan's body was stiff; he believed they lacked the energy for romance.

He leaned slowly against Chi Chen's chest, enjoying the moment as he pressed his face against Chi Chen's chest, saying casually, "You get into character very quickly, I like that."

Chi Chen froze, his heart tightening little by little, feeling a pang of sadness.

Xu Yan wondered if he was just fulfilling his duties as a canary.

The two were clearly very close together, and everything about them was intimate.

But why does Chi Chen feel like he can't touch him no matter what?

Chi Chen suddenly felt very annoyed.

Perhaps it was because he was too scheming from the start and full of lies that Xu Yan didn't trust him.

Although Xu Yan took the initiative to hold his hand when they got off the Ferris wheel, Chi Chen still couldn't help feeling frustrated.

I really want to travel back to the day we met and slap my arrogant self.

Xu Yan seemed oblivious, and led him out of the amusement park in a good mood.

He glanced at the time. "The night view of the ancient town is quite nice now, want to go?"

“Okay.” Chi Chen perked up. He had read the travel guide and knew that the snacks and boats in the ancient town at night were quite good, especially the bar street.

I wonder if I could have a drink with Xu Yan to improve our relationship.

There were so many people leaving the amusement park at this point that even if they managed to hail a minivan, it would take them a long time to get out of the traffic before they reached the next congested area.

Xu Yan could now naturally treat Chi Chen as her canary, her human body pillow.

He didn't care about being stared at in the car, resting his head against Chi Chen's chest and dozing off.

It was perfectly aboveboard and perfectly justified.

The fluffy rabbit ears gently brushed against Chi Chen's face, causing a tingling, ticklish sensation.

Chi Chen's body was somewhat stiff.

He was a little unsure where to put his hands.

Okay, let me take a picture of my brother's super beautiful sleeping face first.

Amidst the traffic jam, they finally arrived at the entrance to the ancient town.

The two looked no different from other couples out for a stroll on the street, holding hands and slowly walking along the stream.

Buy anything that interests you and try it.

They ate until they were half full.

The bar street is located at the very end of the ancient town.

Unlike the joyful and dreamy atmosphere of amusement parks, this place exudes a relaxed and artistic vibe, with dim yellow lighting and a resident singer performing folk songs that aren't too loud.

Just like the South City that Chi Chen had imagined.

They chose a nice-looking quiet bar and went inside.

Xu Yan had been playing all day and was a little tired, so she found a seat at the very back to rest.

They ordered two low-alcohol cocktails and sat down to listen to music.

Chi Chen went to the restroom, and Xu Yan idly scrolled through her phone.

I haven't messaged him all day.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but Xu Yan always felt that since he started living with Chi Chen, he was receiving messages less and less.

But after all, I did say those words.

It's perfectly normal to want to break up if you're disappointed.

Xu Yan did not take this matter very seriously.

He's really enjoying Chi Chen's services right now; he's good-looking, easy to kiss, and has a sweet tongue.

Well, and most importantly, Xu Yan realized that she didn't feel disgusted by Chi Chen's touch.

This is a rare occurrence.

Perhaps it's because the other person's appearance is simply too striking.

Xu Yan even felt that after so many years of holding back, she was now experiencing a kind of skin hunger, wanting to be with Chi Chen all the time.

This idea was somewhat foolish, so Xu Yan wouldn't show it.

As I pondered this, the sofa beside me suddenly sank, and it didn't smell familiar.

Xu Yan frowned, and a blond-haired guy sat down next to him.

He looked up, his eyes cold and indifferent. "What is it?"

The other person paused for a moment, then suddenly leaned closer to examine Xu Yan's face more closely.

This distance had exceeded normal social distancing, and Xu Yan felt extremely uncomfortable and nauseous, especially since the other person also had an unpleasant smell of alcohol on them.

He sat back a little, but since it was already a corner seat, his back was already against the wall while the other person was still getting closer to his face.

"Hey, you look familiar." The blond guy squinted and looked her over, then suddenly took out his phone, opened something, and compared it to Xu Yan's face.

"It really is...aren't you the one trending in the city today??"

After finishing his sentence, Huang Mao clicked his tongue and said, "The real person is even more exciting than the video! That CEO Chi doesn't look that impressive. Can he satisfy your shopping spree?"

Xu Yan's gaze fell on his phone. He already knew about these things, so he wasn't surprised at all.

His eyes were cold, and he frowned in disgust. "Your mouth stinks, don't you know that?"

The blond-haired man was only angry for a moment after being scolded, but soon he laughed in a disgusting way. "Even if I criticize you here, no one will help you. After all, you mess around with men and deliberately try to anger your seriously ill father to death."

"Maybe someone will even praise me for ridding the people of a scourge," the blond-haired man said, his hand already on Xu Yan's arm. "Whether my mouth stinks or not, you, you idiot, will have to taste it..."

He opened his mouth halfway when he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and before he could even see who it was, he lost consciousness.

The blond-haired man fell down and rolled onto the floor.

Chi Chen stood there, his eyes sinister, his chest rising and falling slightly.

He saw Xu Yan's seemingly indifferent gaze, and an indescribable anger simmered in his chest.

Chi Chen suddenly grabbed Xu Yan's wrist and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, "Let's go."

Xu Yan felt the force on her wrist, but did not resist and obediently left the bar.

They remained silent the whole way. Chi Chen couldn't understand why Xu Yan would be harassed just because he went to the restroom.

So how did Xu Yan, who had no one to rely on, survive the previous twenty years?

She thought of Chen Shuo's covetousness and those past events she was unaware of.

Chi Chen was very angry.

Once he got back to the hotel, he slammed the door shut.

Xu Yan rubbed her wrist, which had been pinched and left red marks, and softened her voice, "Don't be angry."

"Does this happen often?" Chi Chen's voice carried a hint of coldness, and then he seemed to realize something was wrong.

Before Xu Yan could answer, he simply hugged her and said pitifully, "No one will bully you anymore."

Xu Yan raised her hand, paused, and then gently placed it on Chi Chen's head. He didn't know what to say; in fact, he hadn't encountered this kind of thing much since he started working.

He wouldn't think much of it.

Feeling the comforting touch of Xu Yan's palm, Chi Chen felt his already suppressed emotions suddenly ignited, and instinctively picked her up in his arms.

Xu Yan instinctively hugged Chi Chen's neck tightly. He didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but tense up.

Chi Chen walked into the bedroom and placed Xu Yan on the soft bed.

As Xu Yan propped herself up, Chi Chen leaned down and placed his hands on Xu Yan's hands, trapping her between himself and the bed.

They were very close, and Xu Yan could see the dark undercurrent churning in Chi Chen's eyes, which seemed to be about to devour him.

Warm breath brushed against his skin, Chi Chen's voice was low, filled with intense desire.

"Brother, you are mine."

What to do when your survival partner turns into a snake [Apocalyptic Infrastructure]

The fearless young master Jiang hooked up with a proud and aloof young nobleman, but dumped him when he got tired of him.

Unexpectedly, the apocalypse arrived the next day, with torrential rain, extreme cold, and harsh conditions causing organisms and some humans to mutate.

Young Master Jiang reunites with his ex-boyfriend at his most vulnerable moment.

He was pinned to the ground by a burly man because of a bag of instant noodles, feeling humiliated and powerless.

His ex-boyfriend, Gu Yao, saved him with an axe, panting with a blank expression, "Come with me."

So, her ex-boyfriend became unstoppable, fighting with increasing ferocity, while Jiang Hao slacked off and freeloaded.

But the good times didn't last long; her ex-boyfriend never came back after going out one day.

He had to clumsily and laboriously pick up the blood-stained axe and fend for himself.

Jiang Hao felt that she missed her ex-boyfriend a little.

*

Two weeks later, Jiang Hao was woken up from her sleep by being strangled.

Through her blurry vision, she saw her ex-boyfriend's face.

His eyes turned into cold, vertical pupils, and his waist and abdomen were covered with thin scales.

The thick, terrifying tail tightened around his waist, and as he spoke, it would flick out a scarlet forked tongue.

Young Master Jiang ultimately couldn't bring himself to run away alone.

From then on, their situations were reversed.

The carefree young master, with his snake-shaped dependents, traversed through mountain torrents and plagues, and embraced each other in torrential rain and extreme cold.

—In this desolate and cold world, they are the only color in each other's eyes.

#You will grow.

#Infrastructure is relatively late
