Chapter 350: The Spoiled Brat Gets Tangled in Vines (14)

Once these thoughts took hold, they wouldn’t let go.

Qi Yuze’s Adam’s apple moved up and down as he leaned close to Song Chuyi’s ear, whispering, "A’Chu, stay with me, okay?"

Song Chuyi’s lips curled upward as he replied, "Of course."

He turned and settled into his arms.

With a gentle hum, he inquired, "Have you been up to no good behind my back, huh?"

It’s been a week since Gu Mingchen left, and he hasn’t brought anyone back. Something seems fishy.

"Did you take out Gu Mingchen?"

Qi Yuze quickly responded, "No."

Afraid of being misunderstood, he raised his voice slightly and emphasized his tone.

"I didn’t kill him."

His words only made it clearer that he was hiding something.

Song Chuyi blinked, a smile playing on his lips as he pressed on, "So what did you do?"

Qi Yuze hung his head and spilled the beans.

Song Chuyi: ...

Even though the story mentioned that Gu Mingchen had an extremely large harem in the later stages of the apocalypse, this twist of fate still left Song Chuyi in awe.

"Where are they now, exactly?" he asked again.

Qi Yuze encircled Song Chuyi’s slim waist with his arms, resting his chin on his shoulder, his voice soft.

"They’ve made it to the human base."

"I didn’t harm them."

He had behaved and didn’t hurt anyone.

A’Chu won’t be mad, will he?

Song Chuyi nodded, relief washing over him.

He muttered, "Looks like we’ll offload these veggies soon."

If they don’t sell soon, he’ll be stuck making pickles.

Qi Yuze held him close, the ache in his heart swelling again.

"A’Chu, my love."

He whispered his name.

"Be one with me, okay?"

The thorns pierced his skin, and blood began to seep out.

With a soft plop, the blood dripped onto the black soil, quickly absorbed.

Song Chuyi let out a pained groan, a single tear clinging to the corner of his eye.

"Hah..."

He took a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing gently, as if in great pain.

"Alright."

He smiled in response, though tears still glistened in the corners of his eyes.

Qi Yuze stared intently at his face, as if etching his current appearance into his very soul.

The vines, now nourished by the blood, began to sway.

"A'Chu,"

It felt as though his life force was slowly ebbing away.

Song Chuyi's long lashes fluttered, his body limp, gently leaning into Qi Yuze.

Whether by accident or design, his lips lightly grazed Qi Yuze's jawline.

As Qi Yuze leaned in, their lips met.

A gentle breeze swept by, softly touching Qi Yuze's heart.

He seemed to jolt back to reality, staring blankly at Song Chuyi.

A single tear fell onto the back of Qi Yuze's hand.

It was searing hot.

Qi Yuze could hardly believe a human tear could burn so fiercely, like an erupting volcano, threatening to consume him in an instant.

His heart seemed to morph into an emotion he couldn't grasp in that moment.

Then, with a slow yet intense force, it surged up again.

It stirred turmoil in his heart, and even the vines, once frenzied by the blood, now quietly settled.

They gently drooped, curling up in a silent embrace.

The thorns, as if struck by a powerful force, softened.

His branches no longer desired to harm him, not even a little.

Yet, the small wounds continued to ooze blood.

Panic surged in Qi Yuze's heart, and he fumbled to wipe the tears from Song Chuyi's face.

"I..."

He didn't know what to say, only managing a flustered apology.

"I’m sorry, this is all on me."

He didn’t even know what he did wrong, but he felt he should apologize.

The softness and warmth of their lips were utterly mesmerizing, yet he was unexpectedly flustered.

He couldn’t even bring himself to feel any malice.

"A'Chu… A'Chu…"

He whispered his name repeatedly, like a lost child crying out for help.

Song Chuyi’s fingertips brushed lightly against his lips.

His voice was soft but laced with a subtle allure.

"I’m here."

"Do you know how people show love?"

Qi Yuze stared at him, baffled, and shook his head.

Song Chuyi chuckled softly, "By action."

He pressed a gentle kiss to his lips, his fingers trailing up to his shoulders.

Unlike the earlier fleeting touch, this kiss was deep and consuming.

It was a tangle, like vines wrapping tightly.

Qi Yuze surrendered to Song Chuyi’s advances.

Slowly, the consuming desire in his heart faded.

It gave way to a mix of tenderness and possessiveness.

He couldn’t bear to see his tears, which hurt more than being consumed by a volcano.

He longed to see his smile, like the sun blazing in the sky, casting radiant light.

That was A'Chu at his most liberated.

He granted him freedom, within his own sky.

And so, the vines surged from the earth, stretching endlessly for miles, forming high walls, creating city walls.

The delicate vines clinging to the trunks grew thick and sturdy; they stopped climbing and shot upward with fierce determination, becoming like big trees themselves.

Drops of blood from Song Chuyi’s small wounds fell to the soil as he moved.

The soil became active, full of vitality and energy, continuously transmitting energy to the surrounding Mutant Plants.

The first to be affected was Xiao Li.

It began to grow taller and larger, soon reaching a hundred meters in height.

The pear blossoms bloomed and quickly withered, with pears hanging high on the branches.

The thatched cottage was surrounded by tall fruit trees, with juicy fruits that made one's mouth water.

The fruits quickly fell to the ground and turned into seeds, carried off by vines to distant locations.

Across the vast expanse of soil, fruit trees sprouted everywhere.

The fertile soil started absorbing water, and groundwater filled the dried-up rivers.

Fish on the brink of death swam into the rivers, leaping and plunging, sending water spraying.

Vines crept into the thatched cottage.

Qi Yuze started feeling human emotions.

He still couldn’t grasp human actions.

But he adored A'Chu.

Not the kind of adoration that sought to consume and merge with him.

But the kind that cherished him, unwilling to let him cry or show any sadness.

He adored his bright smile and tender touch.

He loved him.

It reminded him of the first sunlight he felt years ago when he emerged from the earth.

So comforting.

It made him yearn to stay in the sunlight, growing endlessly, and never return to the darkness.

Now, he was once again bathed in sunlight.

This time, he aimed to craft a sky where A'Chu could soar freely in his world.

Because he loved him deeply, so deeply.
