Chapter 23: Honey Trap for Brother Lu Yuan......
Lu Yuan stared at the long hair in a daze.
It was so dark that he couldn't determine the exact color, but he could vaguely see that it was gold.
Same length, similar color.
He had smelled the scent at the tip of his nose before, when Lin Zhi held the cane against his chest.
At that time, Lin Zhi had a cold and arrogant look on his face, which was completely different from the Omega who was nestling obediently in his arms.
Lu Yuan was a little dazed for a moment, and he couldn't help but think divergently - what would happen if the slender Omega in his arms was Lin Zhi?
When he was young, he always wanted to tear off Lin Zhi's cold and distant mask. He thought that it was too wasteful and too... irritating to have only a condescending expression on that face.
……etc.
What is he thinking about.
Lu Yuan almost slapped himself because of his weird thoughts.
Is he crazy?!
"What's wrong……"
Lin Zhi moved his body and slowly opened his eyes.
Lu Yuan froze. He could clearly feel the Omega falling asleep in his arms. How could he be awakened so easily?
Wow!
The next moment, Lu Yuan hid the loose hair in his hand into his arms and quickly covered the cloak back on. He didn't even know why his subconscious reaction was like this.
Lin Zhi looked up at Lu Yuan in confusion.
Lu Yuan gnashed his teeth and said, "Your Lin Zhi... is truly vulgar! He's so perverted!"
Lin Zhi blinked.
No...why was he scolded again after waking up from a sleep?
Lu Yuan pinched Lin Zhi's cloak and murmured softly.
"Love-brain is so scary..."
They even use the same shampoo, who knows what they do behind the scenes!
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and felt a green light above his head.
No, if you really think about it, Linzhi is a vast grassland.
What exactly is his hobby?
It's simply... outrageous.
…
…
Lin Zhi fell asleep as soon as he woke up, and woke up again several times. Although he was in the arms of his Enigma, he was probably not used to sleeping with others, and his body was still receiving Enigma's pheromones, so he did not sleep well.
Not to mention that Lin Zhi had several nightmares about his identity being discovered, which woke him up soon after. He cleverly checked whether Lu Yuan had discovered anything.
The windows of the wine cellar were sealed, the entrance door was converted into a double door, and it was pitch black all around, making it easy to ignore the passage of time.
When Lin Zhi woke up completely and checked the time on the terminal, a day had passed.
Lin Zhi stood up and pulled at Lu Yuan's coat, whispering, "I should...go back."
The two of them hadn't washed, hadn't had a drop of water, and hadn't eaten anything yet. It would be awkward to stay any longer.
Lu Yuan leaned back in the recliner, staring at Lin Zhi intently.
"Now?"
"Um……"
Lin Zhi tilted his head slightly.
But neither of them moved.
There is also a rich, nostalgic scent of pheromones in the air.
Lu Yuan asked, "Have you recovered from your sequelae?"
"...I think so." Lin Zhi himself couldn't explain it clearly. With Enigma's comfort, he felt much more comfortable and could ignore the occasional discomfort in his body.
Lu Yuan asked again: "Then...what if you relapse after returning?"
Um……?
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and tapped his knees lightly with his fingers.
After a moment, Lin Zhi said softly, "I'm hungry."
There was a hint of laughter in Lu Yuan's voice, "How about I take you out for something to eat?"
Lin Zhi pulled the cloak on his body.
He has a cloak and a mask to cover his body and face, and most importantly, the earrings also change his appearance.
It should be... okay, right?
"good."
…
“Click—”
For the first time, the door of the small dark room was pushed open by two people at the same time.
It was still dark outside the house. The wine cellar was hidden in the woods, and the light around was also not strong. However, the faint moonlight and starlight shone through the sparse shadows of the trees and projected onto Lin Zhi, allowing him to finally appear as a complete entity in Lu Yuan's eyes for the first time.
Lu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi, slightly distracted.
There were a few strands of golden hair under the cloak, the same as Lin Zhi's.
Half of his face was covered and couldn't be seen clearly, but the only exposed part was his mouth, which was different from Lin Zhi's.
Lin Zhi had seen Lu Yuan countless times, but when he looked at Lu Yuan, there was not much curiosity in his eyes, but more of... awkwardness and vigilance.
He stared into Lu Yuan's eyes to make sure there was nothing wrong with him.
Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Let's go. I'll take you into the city to find something to eat."
The two walked together and came to the city gate. Lin Zhi looked up.
The border defense of the lower city is very different from that of the upper city. The border of the upper city is a tall, thick, snow-white city wall, equipped with complete weapons, solemn and dignified.
And the Lower Town...
Lin Zhi looked at the dilapidated earthen brick city gate in front of him. On the side was a simple fence. The fence was loose and mostly made up of trees, forming a natural barrier. In the distance, there were a few scattered mercenaries drinking.
The gate in front of us seemed to be open to anyone, and the border defense seemed to be useless.
But Lin Zhi understood that all this... was just an illusion.
The Lower City is a place that even the elite troops of the Upper City dare not provoke. After all, it houses many black markets and fighting arenas that are not worthy of being seen in public. The people inside are a mixed bag, from ordinary people to extremely vicious criminals. If the owner of this city that never sleeps does not have enough courage and means, how can he suppress it?
This is a city that never sleeps, guarded like an iron barrel by mercenaries led by Lu Yuan.
Lin Zhi glanced at Lu Yuan and thought that the feeling of the Lower City might be the same as Lu Yuan, like a wild weed growing wildly with deep roots.
Lu Yuan took Lin Zhi to a dusty device near the city gate to scan his eyes, giving him a "household registration" in the city. He casually joked, "You might be the first person from Upper City to enter the City That Never Sleeps through the main gate in recent years."
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes, "Then I really rely on Mr. Lu."
Thanks to his identity as Luo Xing, he was able to get a close look at the downtown area.
Now that night has fallen, the city that never sleeps is just coming alive.
Lin Zhi and Lu Yuan walked on the narrow street, with crowded houses on both sides. The houses were stacked up like a honeycomb, and the sky was filled with dense electric cables and clotheslines hung with clothes.
The houses and streets were filled with neon lights and plaques. Lin Zhi was careful not to bump into them, and he also had to avoid the crowds coming and going, dodging here and there.
This was difficult enough for His Majesty, who was a royal family, but he also had to hold up his cloak and be careful of and avoid the dirty water on the ground.
As he crossed a street, the sudden explosion sound made Lin Zhi freeze all over.
He looked up and saw a bar with bright lights and people. A group of people were shouting at the door, obviously drunk.
Lin Zhi frowned slightly.
Lu Yuan, who had witnessed everything along the way, burst out laughing.
He seemed to have admired enough, and finally reached out to hold Lin Zhi's wrist and pulled him aside.
"Young Master, come and sit here."
Lu Yuan took him to a bench on the street and patted his shoulder. "I'll go buy some water and tacos up front."
Lu Yuan pointed to a taco shop not far away.
Lin Zhi nodded.
"Wait for me, don't let anyone kidnap you."
After Lu Yuan left, Lin Zhi sat for a while, took out the terminal and contacted Adolf.
That day, the shadow accidentally revealed that they had rescued many people who had fled from the upper city, so he asked Adolf to investigate.
Adolf rescued many people from the Duke, but several of them were separated on the way by the pursuers sent by the Duke, and Adolf lost their trace.
After Lin Zhi's reminder, Adolf checked and now replied to him - these people really fled to the downtown area.
Maybe they were the people rescued by the mercenaries.
But how could he find them without exposing himself?
Lin Zhi looked at the chaotic streets around him. It was impossible for an outsider to figure out the direction in them. Moreover, Lin Zhi was not an ordinary person. He could tell at a glance that there were mercenaries walking around.
"elder sister……"
A little girl carrying a flower basket came over at some point, stood in front of Lin Zhi, and asked timidly, "Would you like to buy some flowers?"
Lin Zhi was tall, and even though he was covered with a cloak and a mask, he still looked exquisite and extraordinary, even out of tune with his surroundings, so the girl misunderstood.
"I'm your brother." Lin Zhi smiled, looked around and asked, "Are you alone? Where are your family?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "I don't have any family. My family died of illness many years ago."
Lin Zhi paused. He glanced at the dozen or so roses in the basket. The roses were too bright, especially the red ones. He didn't like them, but at this moment he still said directly, "I'll buy them all."
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
However, the next moment, Lin Zhi lowered his head and touched it, but felt a little embarrassed.
...I forgot to bring money.
When he came to the lower city to look for Lu Yuan's mark, he did not deliberately remember to bring money, and even in the upper city, Lin Zhi rarely needed to pay.
At this moment, Lu Yuan appeared behind the girl, holding food in one hand and taking money out of his pocket and handing it to the girl, "No need for change."
“Thank you, brother!!”
After the girl left, Lu Yuan handed the bunch of flowers to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi paused. The tall man in front of him handed him a rose with a bright smile.
The fresh roses had a fragrant aroma that lingered around Lin Zhi's nose.
Lin Zhi accepted it awkwardly, "Thank you for helping me out. The girl will probably be very grateful to you."
"Not necessarily. Don't be fooled by appearances. You don't even know if she's a liar." Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and sat down next to Lin Zhi. "Even if she's truly helpless, the West District is full of refugees and people who have fled to the underground city from elsewhere. It's just as chaotic."
West District...
Lin Zhi took note of it silently.
The person he is looking for may be inside.
"Young Master, is this your first time in the downtown area?" Lu Yuan shrugged, as if he really regarded the other party as a simple, innocent, and worldly-wise Omega.
Lin Zhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Then...can I come again next time?"
Lu Yuan paused.
What……?
Lin Zhi blushed and said, "You said before that you would come when I called you. So if I need your comfort, can I come too?"
He knew clearly that his current identity as a weak Omega could relax Lu Yuan's vigilance, making it more suitable for him to approach him and establish a good relationship with him in order to achieve his own goals.
For example, now.
The pass Lu Yuan just gave him was temporary. If he could ask Lu Yuan to replace it with a pass that would allow him to enter and exit the Lower City freely and permanently...
But this current atmosphere, these lines, are no different from... seduction!
Lu Yuan chuckled, "Miss me so much?"
“…” Lin Zhi’s ears turned even redder.
The next moment, Lu Yuan lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "How about you call me Brother Lu Yuan and I'll agree to it?"
Lin Zhi was a little dazed.
They had this conversation when they were sixteen.
[Lin Zhi, if I win tomorrow's fight, you have to call me dad... No, call me brother! How about that?]
[No gambling.]
[Why? Are you afraid of losing to me?]
"My advantage in the arena isn't that great, so it's reasonable for me to refuse. If I could win you the exam, I'd do the same. Would you agree?"
[Tsk.]
Lin Zhi took a deep breath.
He and Lu Yuan were very close at this moment, their noses almost touching each other, and their pheromones and breath were blending silently.
Lin Zhi closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Brother Lu Yuan."
Lin Zhi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but it was enough for Enigma.
……!
Lu Yuan froze.
He clearly felt the long-lost moment of his heart beating rapidly.
The fragrance of roses was faint and mixed with the honey osmanthus on the Omega's body, making the person opposite look like a piece of sweet and soft honey.
He looked at the Omega's face hidden behind the rose, the golden hair swaying in the wind on his forehead, and the countless people in front of him who were similar to Lin Zhi, yet not similar. He felt like he was going crazy.
If this continues, it will not be Lin Zhi who becomes perverted, but myself.
"Luo Xing, I have something to tell you."
