Chapter 53: Something is wrong with your little dark room (づ￣3￣)づ╭? ...
Lin Zhi fell into a state of confusion and helplessness.
He even doubted it.
Is he overthinking it?
Is he crazy!
But Lu Yuan didn't let him go. He pulled the stunned Lin Zhi onto the bed, hugged him from behind, and put his arms around his waist.
"You haven't answered my question yet, are you willing to?"
——Would you like to mark it permanently?
“…”
This person is too much. He has already refused but still asks others if they are willing.
Lin Zhi pouted, "Just because I agree, you're going to mark me?"
"...No." Lu Yuan closed his eyes, "I still won't mark it."
“…”
Lin Zhi, who was leaning against Lu Yuan, stood up and tried to push him away. "If you don't like me, stop pretending."
"Don't like it? When have I ever disliked it?" Lu Yuan didn't let him escape. He held him down even harder, tightening his grip around his waist. He whispered, "Lin Zhi, did you misunderstand something?"
Lu Yuan frowned. "Just because you're not willing to permanently mark me doesn't mean I don't like you."
“…”
Looking at Lin Zhi, who was lying on his back and unwilling to speak, Lu Yuan sighed and explained, "Do you know what permanent marking means? The reproductive cavity needs to be pushed open to complete the marking, which is very painful for an Omega."
Lu Yuan thought to himself that Lin Zhi even hummed and hawed when making his usual marks.
Lin Zhi frowned.
Even this was worse than when he was pierced through the chest on the front line before.
Lu Yuan knew what Lin Zhi was thinking without even looking at him. He said helplessly, "I know you're not convinced. This may not mean anything to you, but the key is... I can't be so irresponsible. Lin Zhi, I'm Enigma, the Enigma who could die and lose control at any moment. In my past life, I never valued my own life. I risked my life and vented my feelings in the arena, and indulged myself in the dungeon. I can't let your fate be tied to me like this."
Lin Zhi frowned, "So what? What you said is all empty talk, but the permanent mark will definitely benefit you."
"It's natural for me, but not for you." Lu Yuan rested his chin on Lin Zhi's shoulder and said word by word: "Lin Zhi, I don't like you for your pheromones."
Lin Zhi was completely stunned.
This statement once again challenged his logical thinking.
He always thought that Lu Yuan liked him because he was useful.
——Pheromones, body, marking.
This is even more so now. Lu Yuan can just mark himself to make his body more stable. There is no harm in it except that it is permanently bound.
But he said that it was precisely because he liked it that he didn't want to do so?
Is Lu Yuan lying to him?
Is it really possible?
This realization made Lin Zhi very uneasy.
It's even more unsettling than guessing that I like Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan didn't want him for the pheromones, did it mean... that he really only wanted him as a person?
Lu Yuan continued, "So I can't use my life in danger to force you to complete the permanent marking with me, especially since you don't really like me. This is no different from lying to you."
Lin Zhi's mind was in a mess. He unconsciously clenched his palms, "Maybe..."
Maybe I like you.
The words went around in circles for a few times before Lin Zhi finally said, "I'm an adult and won't be fooled so easily. I'm willing to complete the permanent marking with you. This is a good deal for me."
"Okay, okay." Lu Yuan chuckled. "This isn't a good deal for me. I refuse. Okay?"
"Lin Zhi, I just want you to be well."
Lin Zhi widened his eyes.
It was obvious that he could complete a deeper deal with him, and it was obvious that Lu Yuan was only one step away from getting what he wanted.
But at this critical moment Lu Yuan refused.
It seemed that what Lu Yuan wanted was not sex or pheromones, but Lin Zhi himself.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhi's nails unconsciously dug into his palms. He whispered uncertainly, "So when you said you wanted to pursue me, you just wanted me to be with you, but you didn't want to mark me permanently."
Lu Yuan gently kissed Lin Zhi's ears and neck, "Yes, I want you to accompany me and be my lover. I want to possess you. There is no denying that I want you, all the time."
His voice was low and ambiguous, as if it could communicate with people.
Lin Zhi's ears turned red because of Lu Yuan's warm breath.
"But what I want is a happy and joyful you. I'm willing to do anything to make you happy. So I don't want to be permanently marked with you, so that you can leave at any time and not be tied down by me."
"I hope you are happy at all times."
Lu Yuan sighed. He had tried to be as sincere as possible and said everything he could. He just hoped that Lin Zhi could understand.
Where Lu Yuan couldn't see, Lin Zhi lowered his head.
He didn't want Lu Yuan to see his expression, and he didn't know whether his eyes were red.
Even if not, it probably won't look good.
——Lu Yuan is crazy.
He is crazy too.
"Lin Zhi?"
The next moment, Lin Zhi turned around and buried his face in Lu Yuan's chest. He hugged Lu Yuan and said, "I already know."
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems I understand.
Then Lin Zhi said, "Since you said you want me to be happy, then you have to listen to me, right? I have made up my mind. Let's complete the permanent marking."
...I understand, but not completely.
Lu Yuan: “?”
"You have your reasons for rejecting me, and I have my own opinions. I... don't hate you." After a pause, Lin Zhi turned his head and said, "I consider... I consider myself fond of you. If we both like each other and are willing, then why not?"
Now it was Lu Yuan's turn to be stunned.
He looked at His Majesty, who was curled up in his arms, his whole body hot and red, and was completely stunned.
ah……?
Like, like?
"Lin Zhi...you..."
Lin Zhi was finally willing to look Lu Yuan in the eye. He cautiously raised his head from Lu Yuan's arms and said with a slightly blushing face.
No rebuttal.
No rebuttal is the answer.
Lu Yuan's blood was boiling.
Want to kiss.
Damn it…
no.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes and tried hard to regain his sanity.
He took a deep breath and prepared to speak.
Lin Zhi's heartbeat was also a little faster.
Lu Yuan said, "You...you didn't lie to me just to complete the marking, did you?"
“…”
“???”
Lin Zhi sat up angrily, grabbed Lu Yuan by the collar and asked, "You don't believe it?"
"No, I, that..." Lu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi who was so close to him. The tall and big man was a little confused. "I just felt that it was a bit sudden..."
Lu Yuan thought that he was completely finished. Even though he couldn't completely believe what Lin Zhi said, the word "like" still made him lose his temper and almost agreed after hearing it from Lin Zhi.
Fortunately, he came to his senses in time and thought to himself that he must not fall into the trap.
"Why don't you believe it?" Lin Zhi asked.
Looking at the aggressive Majesty who was getting closer and closer to him, Lu Yuan's mind was a little stuck.
"What if this is the case?"
——Chirp.
Lu Yuan widened his eyes.
The next moment, Lin Zhi kissed his lips and did what he wanted to do.
Lin Zhi clenched Lu Yuan's collar tightly with his fingers and raised his lips to his. He imitated the way Lu Yuan usually kissed him, prying open Lu Yuan's lips roughly and forcefully, deepening the kiss.
Lu Yuan couldn't hold back any longer and responded even harder.
Whether he was unwilling to complete the permanent mark or did not believe Lin Zhi's words of love... all of this could not resist Lin Zhi's attraction to Lu Yuan.
No matter what, Lu Yuan would fall for it. He took back the initiative, pressed the back of Lin Zhi's head and plundered and drank tea to his heart's content. The two of them breathed rapidly, the sound of water was heard, and they hugged each other, rubbing their clothes until they were hot.
But Lu Yuan always restrained himself and only kissed.
He was afraid that the overstepping of his bounds at this moment would inadvertently become a promise, and that he would accidentally have a quarrel with Lin Zhi, leading to a permanent mark.
Lin Zhi looked at Lu Yuan who was immersed in the kiss in front of him, and his originally blurred eyes gradually came back to his senses and became slightly stern.
Bang!
The next moment, Lin Zhi used the same trick again...
——He used a knife to knock Lu Yuan down!
Wow——
Holding Enigma who was knocked unconscious again by him, Lin Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly.
If you don't agree, he has his own way.
…
…
Night fell. Unlike the underground city which never sleeps, the imperial city went into curfew in the middle of the night. Except for special areas, everything was quiet.
The weather was cool that night and the stars in the night sky were clearly visible.
Starlight streamed into the room through the window and fell on the person on the bed.
When Lu Yuan slowly woke up, the first thing he felt was pain in the back of his neck.
……hiss.
Damn, this is the second time.
This guy Lin Zhi scored twice!
Every time she uses the beauty trap!
Damn it!
Lu Yuan looked around. Where did Lin Zhi take him?
This was an unfamiliar environment for him, but it looked like a luxurious yet stylish room, decorated in black and white, with a simple design and a somewhat minimalist style.
He was lying on the huge bed at the moment, with the roses he had given to Lin Zhi before placed on the windowsill beside him. Not far away, another space on the wall looked like a study.
Lin Zhi sat at the desk and read official documents.
...Would Lin Zhi take him to the room in the palace in the upper city?!
Lu Yuan stood up suddenly, and then there was a "clang" sound.
He looked down in disbelief and saw handcuffs on his wrists...?
The iron chain of the handcuffs was embedded in the wall, and Lu Yuan was stunned.
He laughed out of anger.
"Lin Zhi, are you imprisoning me... in a small dark room?"
What's going on?!
It’s so annoying!
He knew that Lin Zhi looked calm and indifferent, but he could do something crazy at any time.
For example, looking for the Enigma mark before, or the small dark room now...
No, there’s something wrong with this little dark room!
Lin Zhi looked up at Lu Yuan who had finally woken up and snorted coldly, "As long as you don't agree to be marked, you can't leave here."
Lu Yuan shook his hands helplessly, and the chains made a sound. "Lin Zhi... You should know that this can't trap Enigma."
"You can break free by force." Lin Zhi said expressionlessly, "That means you'll be breaking up with me. After you break out, I'll know how determined you are. We won't have to meet again in the future."
“…”
"Okay, you're awesome."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, his face forced to smile, "Your Majesty... you are really good at playing tricks on people."
"Thank you." Lin Zhi raised his eyebrows.
——Like a cat that has done something wrong but still doesn’t know how to repent and is even a little proud of itself.
Lu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi steadily. "Imprisoning Enigma and forcing him to mark with you, Lin Zhi, you are truly crazy."
To say that this is courting disaster is an understatement.
"A lifelong mark is different from an ordinary mark." Lu Yuan sneered, his eyes falling on Lin Zhi's slender body, "Aren't you afraid of being torn to pieces?"
"Then you try it." Lin Zhi put down the document and looked at Lu Yuan.
The two people's eyes collided and blended in the air, confronting each other silently.
“…”
Two minutes later.
"Ha." Lu Yuan was furious. He fell back onto the bed and gritted his teeth, saying, "You win."
nerve!
