Chapter 107: Lovely Little Angel

Su Zheng opened his mouth to say something more, but before he could make a sound, Luo Yunchen reached out and pressed his hand over Su Zheng's mouth.

Luo Yunchen spoke softly, his tone tinged with a blend of resentment and pity: "Shh, I love hearing your voice, Brother, but I don't want to hear you say these unpleasant things. So you should not speak, just make sounds for me to hear, obediently, Mm, I'll make sure you do, Brother..."

"Mm.........."

The chains lightly clinked, producing a crisp jingle.......

Incoherent murmurs drifted out......

Crazy and reckless, as if to release something, or to vent something.

Even more desperately trying to grasp at something.

Su Zheng didn't know how many times he had woken from a daze; he could no longer tell what day it was or what time.

The little wolf always blindfolded him, making him fall unconscious and wake again, so he couldn't tell how much time had passed.

Only when feeding him would the blindfold be removed, but sometimes his consciousness was hazy as if in a dream, blurring the line between dreams and reality, making him wonder if time hadn't really passed at all and everything was just a dream.

Su Zheng opened his eyes and stared at the bed curtains. After a long while, he blinked, confirming that he was truly awake now, and the little wolf had taken off his blindfold.

He was about to look around to match the scene with his memory, when he turned his head and something slid down from his forehead.

Su Zheng tilted his head, staring blankly at the headband. He thought he had dreamed of the little cub coaxing him to take medicine—So it wasn't a dream after all?

Come to think of it, who was the real demon between the two of them? With his own constitution, he could still be drained to the point of harming his vitality—the little wolf had truly revealed his true nature.

"Brother, are you awake?" A cheerful voice came.

Su Zheng looked up and saw the little wolf, dressed in court robes, came running toward him. He kicked off his boots at the bedside, climbed onto the bed, and nestled beside him, touching his forehead to Su Zheng's, muttering to himself, "Seems the fever's gone."

Then he lifted his head slightly to look at Su Zheng and asked gently, "Does anywhere else hurt, Brother?"

Su Zheng wanted to ask if there was any part of his body that didn't ache, but when he opened his mouth, his voice was dry and hoarse: "I—"

Luo Yunchen reached out to stop him: "If Brother needs anything, just point it out to me. Brother, drink some water first, I'll go get some food for you."

He lifted Su Zheng, propped him up half-reclining, poured a cup of water for him, and then went to get food to feed him.

After eating his fill, Su Zheng felt much better and asked, "Was I sick? How long have I been ill?"

Luo Yunchen held Su Zheng, burying his face in his neck like a puppy, nuzzling and kissing: "Last night, not long after I held you to sleep, Brother, your body grew hotter and hotter. I thought you hadn't had enough and wanted more, so I was about to quench your fire, but then I saw your face looked wrong."

Su Zheng: "......"

Listening to the little wolf's crazy talk, Su Zheng had gotten used to it and couldn't be bothered to argue.

His body was still sore and limp, so he simply leaned into Luo Yunchen's arms, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes, and nestled there.

Whether it was the weakness from just recovering from illness, or sheer exhaustion and laziness, when Su Zheng spoke again, his voice carried an unconscious softness and sweetness: "I'm so tired, let me rest for two days, okay?"

Luo Yunchen was momentarily stunned. Subconsciously, he wrapped his arms around Su Zheng's upper body to make him lie more comfortably. A look of happiness and satisfaction gradually appeared in his eyes as he looked at Su Zheng, clearly pleased by his action.

He rested his hand on Su Zheng's waist, patting and stroking gently. He bent down and kissed Su Zheng's closed eyelids, his voice affectionate and cheerful: "Alright, you sleep, I'll just hold you, okay? I won't touch you today."

Su Zheng pressed his request: "Two days and two nights." Before Luo Yunchen could hesitate, Su Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, stretched his neck, and whispered something in his ear.

Luo Yunchen was puzzled when Su Zheng opened his eyes, wondering what he was going to do. When he heard the whisper, his gaze changed, staring at Su Zheng with adoring fixation. When he spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Brother, are you serious?"

"Will you agree or not?"

Luo Yunchen suddenly hugged Su Zheng tightly, twisting and rubbing against him, complaining pitifully: "Brother is so mean, so mean, so mean! Now I want to agree even less! I want it so badly! So, so badly, right now!"

"No, I don't have the energy now. If you don't agree, forget it."

Luo Yunchen rolled back and forth with Su Zheng in his arms, acting spoiled. It took a while before he calmed down and responded sulkily: "Two days then! Brother better keep his word!"

Gently laying Su Zheng down, who had his eyes closed to rest, Luo Yunchen covered him with the quilt and said obediently, "Then rest well, Brother. I'll come back later to eat with you, Brother."

With that, he lovingly stroked Su Zheng's cheek, kissed the corner of his mouth, and then got up and left.

Su Zheng kept his eyes closed, as if asleep, and said in a low voice: "Where are you going?"

"Taking a cold shower!"

Su Zheng chuckled, opened his eyes to watch Luo Yunchen's retreating back, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He turned over and continued to rest and recuperate.

After sleeping, Su Zheng was woken by the system's notification sound.

"Ding—The male lead's darkness value decreased. Current darkness value: Level 9. Please continue your efforts, host, to complete the task and receive rewards!"

"Ding—The male lead's darkness value decreased. Current darkness value: Level 8. Please continue your efforts, host, to complete the task and receive rewards!"

Su Zheng shook off his drowsiness and thought to himself, the little cub has truly been feeling great these days, even reducing the darkness value by two levels in a row.

He shook the chain on his wrist, listening to its crisp jingle, then stretched his limbs. This sleep had been deep, and the soreness had greatly diminished.

The chains on his wrists and ankles—the little cub had never removed them. Not only that, but he would also, at certain moments, shorten their length with a perverse sense of amusement.

The chain around his waist, however, was often removed by the little cub, but now it was back on—a delicate golden chain, light in weight, and was not uncomfortable to wear.

Su Zheng sat up, adjusted his collar, and summoned the system: "System, are you there?"

"Yes, host."

"Did you prepare the things I asked you to prepare earlier?"

"They are prepared. But host, first tell me what you're planning. You're not planning to run away, are you? Host, let's talk it over. How about we take a gentle, heartwarming approach? Don't go for the thrilling cliff-jumping route again. It's too risky—if we crash, it's all over!"

Su Zheng raised an eyebrow. "Tsk, who said I'm going to run away?"

Having already made his choice, how could he stand to leave?

"Then why did you ask me to prepare clothes, pins, lockpicking tools, and such?"

"To give him some peace of mind, so he can open his heart and embrace a happy future."

The demon in Luo Yunchen's heart had been released. Of course, he had to take this opportunity to put a lovely little angel into Luo Yunchen's heart!
