Chapter 235: Confession and Leniency

The wound under the palm had long since turned into a scar, forming an old bulge, which felt a bit rough and uneven in Shen Yisui's palm.

"...Zombie No. 0815?" Certain images flashed through Shen Yisui's mind. He was silent for a moment, then decisively shut his mouth without saying a word.

Cheng Jingyi was still waiting for him to burst into tears. He glanced at Shen Yisui coldly and asked, "Heh...are you pretending to be dead and not remembering?"

Shen Yisui: "..."

He rolled his Adam's apple and said, "Remember."

"You stabbed me with this hand back then. I still remember it." Cheng Jingyi held Shen Yisui's right hand, pinching the fragile joints, and said something meaningful.

"I don't care if you are Shen Yisui or Shen Cheng. I put you in the zombie base just to torture you to death."

"Didn't you cry every day back then? I know you were pretending. You were afraid of being beaten or bitten, so you were pretending even in bed..."

Shen Yisui felt an inexplicable heat in his ears. He lowered his head and said, "...Don't say it."

"Why, are you ashamed?" Cheng Jingyi's eyes dimmed. He pinched Shen Yisui's chin and threatened, "I will keep this account with you for the rest of my life. You'd better kneel down and listen to me in the future."

Shen Yisui: "..."

He pulled Cheng Jingyi's collar and said, "I can atone for my sins."

Cheng Jingyi glanced at him: "For example?"

Shen Yisui loosened his hand, and Cheng Jingyi only felt the force on his collar loosen, and then the place where the scar was was suddenly covered with a layer of warmth.

It was soft and hot, almost burning the skin there.

Cheng Jingyi squinted his eyes comfortably. The old scar was already old and originally painless, but he didn't expect that when someone licked it gently, he would feel a secret pain and itchiness again.

"Shen Yisui, that's enough..."

Cheng Jingyi's tone was relatively steady, but after a few seconds, he groaned again. His fingertips curled up, and he subconsciously stepped back.

Shen Yisui pressed his spine, exerted force with his hands, and soon pressed Cheng Jingyi's half-reclining body back down.

"Shen Yisui..." Cheng Jingyi lowered his head, breathing heavily. He obviously sensed that the place where Shen Yisui's atonement kiss was shifted and went somewhere else with bad intentions.

Shen Yisui only tasted it briefly, then he stopped and rested his forehead against Cheng Jingyi's chest, saying innocently, "I'm sorry, this is your apology gift."

Cheng Jingyi's chest was swollen and painful as if it was burning. Seeing this, he had no intention of putting on clothes and restraining himself. Instead, he pressed on Shen Yisui again.

"Shen Yisui, my apology gift, your prize?" Cheng Jingyi's jaw muscles twitched, and he said unhappily, "You are not allowed to touch it."

Shen Yisui withdrew his fingers at the right time and said, "It's swollen."

Cheng Jingyi: “…”

He put on his coat and buttoned it up neatly.

Shen Yisui listened to the rustling sounds in the cave and lowered his head to wipe the moisture off his hands.

He had no intention of going any further. This body was still half dead, and he probably had no chance of continuing.

What a pity.

Cheng Jingyi put on his clothes in a short time. He was still feeling a little hot, but the air around him was cool, and it took more than ten minutes for the heat to slowly dissipate.

Shen Yisui half leaned against the wall, listening to the voice in front of him, and said, "Actually, I can help you."

Cheng Jingyi had no trust in him at all: "What can you help me with?"

"I can feel it." Shen Yisui pinched his fingers, "Down there..."

"Shen Yisui--" Cheng Jingyi immediately interrupted Shen Yisui. His face was unfriendly, and he used his intimidation to force back the words that Shen Yisui was about to say.

Shen Yisui realized that he didn't continue. He stared with his eyes wide open and placed one hand on his bent knee.

Cheng Jingyi snorted coldly, he squeezed next to Shen Yisui and buried his head in his neck.

"…Are you serious?"

Less than three minutes later, Cheng Jingyi's voice rang in Shen Yisui's ears again.

Shen Yisui seemed to have expected this. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, it's all to make amends for you."

“…”

The cave was dark and silent. The figure inside was hidden, and not even the outline could be seen.

After more than ten seconds, a zipper sound was heard from inside.

＊

After the show, Cheng Jingyi felt tired.

The days of escape had made him nervous all the time, and only after being released did he finally feel a little relaxed.

Shen Yisui wiped his palms clean, and said, "I'll stay by your side tonight, you go to sleep first."

Cheng Jingyi licked the corner of his lips, leaned against the rock, half-closed his eyes, lowered his head and hummed: "Don't run around."

"I'm right here with you. I won't leave." Shen Yisui was a little helpless. He said, "If you're worried, just sleep with me."

Cheng Jingyi did not choose so. Hearing this, he turned over and pressed his head on Shen Yisui's thigh.

Shen Yisui did not feel uncomfortable. He lowered his eyes to sense Cheng Jingyi's breath and heard his breathing gradually calming down.

Finally, I've settled down.

Shen Yisui sighed. He ran his fingers through Cheng Jingyi's thick but messy black hair. For a moment, his thoughts drifted away.

He once...almost took Cheng Jingyi's life.

The trap was set up, the weapons were prepared long ago, and the person he pushed off the tall building...a scapegoat was found.

It actually fell on Cheng Jingyi's head.

Shen Yisui frowned. He wanted to touch Cheng Jingyi's wound through the clothes again, but Cheng Jingyi was wearing clothes tightly, covering his chest, and did not give Shen Yisui a chance.

No wonder Cheng Jingyi wanted to peel off his skin and pull out his tendons when they first met at the base camp. It turned out that the so-called obedient praise was actually Cheng Jingyi's weirdness.

Shen Yisui was quite speechless. He touched Cheng Jingyi's earlobe unconsciously, as if he felt uncomfortable. Cheng Jingyi moved his body, and then buried his face deeper into Shen Yisui's abdomen.

Shen Yisui withdrew his hand upon seeing this. His blind eyes lowered, silently watching the darkness and patterns he could perceive.

He once regretted helping Shen Yisui, but thinking about it now, he felt a little comforted.

If nothing had happened before, he would not have met Shen Yu, and would not have had anything to do with Cheng Jingyi.

This zombie king will go to a farther place, and Shen Yisui will also take a completely different path from now. Without these messes, there will be no "them", but there will be no "them" either.

Maybe it was bad before, but now everything is getting better, and in the future...it will be even better.

Shen Yisui lowered his head and gently kissed Cheng Jingyi's ear bone.

＊

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.

Shen Yisui's mind was in a daze, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, Cheng Jingyi had already dug up a bunch of crystal cores from outside.

"..." Shen Yisui had a headache, "When did you wake up?"

Cheng Jingyi crushed the crystal core and said casually, "Six o'clock."

"What time is it?"

Cheng Jingyi estimated and said, "Twelve o'clock."

Shen Yisui: "..."

He stood up and said, "Keep those crystal cores. I don't need them yet. The most important thing is that you heal your wounds first."

Cheng Jingyi didn't say much. Seeing that Shen Yisui had recovered fairly well, he asked, "When are we leaving?"
