 Thank you Wendy for the Ko-Fi!

Who would believe him, damn it!

Luo Futu was lying on the bed, but the plate was broken by the door. How slippery did his hand have to be for it to fall so far? Was it smeared in lard?

Zhou Yan silently stared at Luo Futu, who was only leaning on the bed eating a sandwich, when Bai Yueqing suddenly shouted in alarm. Zhou Yan subconsciously turned his head sideways, but saw Bai Yueqing had stood behind him at some point and was looking into the bedroom. He was shocked by Luo Futu’s appearance.

Zhou Yan did not feel too strongly about Luo Futu’s appearance, and even less after looking at it for a long time. However, this did not mean that ordinary people would also treat him as normal. Like Bai Yueqing, as a relatively weakly toleranced omega, to look at him and not be scared to death was considered a good performance.

This cry not only made Zhou Yan realize that Luo Futu’s appearance was different from normal people, but also made Luo Futu notice Bai Yueqing more. His face visibly cooled when he saw Bai Yueqing, causing his face to become even more intimidating. Perhaps because Zhou Yan did not react to Luo Futu’s face, he never deliberately showed his fierce face, but Bai Yueqing’s overly “ordinary” reaction obviously made Luo Futu very unhappy.

Zhou Yan reacted quickly and closed the bedroom door directly, shutting the ugly view of Luo Futu inside the room, and then led Bai Yueqing to the living room. “Have a seat.”

Bai Yueqing seemed to be still immersed in the shock just now, he only came back to his senses when Zhou Yan spoke. “Just now that person is…”

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and then said, “He’s one of my patients, scared?”

Bai Yueqing forced a smile. “I was rude, his appearance is really…”

So he’s a patient. Zhou Yan looks so handsome, he shouldn’t have any interactions with that kind of ugly person.

It’s no wonder Bai Yueqing judged people by their appearance, because Luo Futu’s face was so ugly, so frighteningly ugly, so shockingly ugly, that it was simply not ugly in the realm of the human world, it was the type that could play the devil on stage without makeup.

But Zhou Yan did not want him to continue to focus on Luo Futu, so he said, “By the way, I’ll go get you summer wheat.”

Bai Yueqing hurriedly said, “No, no, it’s not much, this flower is worth so much food.”

Zhou Yan insisted, “These flowers are worth more to me than the usual ones. I’ll take you home and send back the wheat. It’s so late, it’s too dangerous for you to walk outside alone.”

Bai Yueqing originally wanted to resist, but hearing Zhou Yan’s initiative to send him back, suddenly gave up resistance, and nodded—going back home at night with another person sounded very exciting; if that person was Zhou Yan, there was also an additional layer of security. His happiness index was soaring! He didn’t have time to care about anything else.

However, Zhou Yan was really only worried about Bai Yueqing’s safety. Last time he went out and was watched, but this time, to send flowers in the middle of the night, he risked going out. If he were to meet some accident on the road, he would definitely have a sense of guilt. He also could not let him continue to stay in his home. Although Luo Futu still could not move, he was ultimately an alpha, or an alpha with the nature of a tear of time, and putting them both together, there was too much uncertainty.

Zhou Yan was aloof and unwilling to take the initiative to talk, so nothing joyful and romantic happened on this journey. Bai Yueqing was very curious about Luo Futu, the ugly thing, and tried to ask about him, but intuition told Zhou Yan that Luo Futu’s identity should be very mysterious, and talking more about him may attract unnecessary trouble, so he also coped with it in a strained manner.

Bai Yueqing’s father was also very happy—especially when he saw the bag full of summer wheat. He patted the grain and exclaimed, “Such wealth can somehow compensate for his lack of gender.”

Bai Yueqing was delighted, such a comment was equivalent to his father’s approval of his continuing relationship with Zhou Yan, which, for whatever reason, was a good thing. However, Zhou Yan knew nothing about all this, and he rushed back home, desperate to know what magical effect the crocus flower would have on Luo Futu.

When Zhou Yan rushed back, he found Luo Futu had moved from the bedroom to the living room sofa by himself. He was a bit different from before, the hood on his black robe was put on his head, and he looked more gloomy and gruesome than usual. He was closer to a devil, not only ugly, but also awe-inspiring. Zhou Yan returned to close the door slowly; hearing the sound, Luo Futu glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth showed a creepy smile. “Sent your little boyfriend back? A little fast, right?”

Zhou Yan didn’t bother to pay attention to his flirtation and asked directly, “Are you able to stand up already?”

Luo Futu shook his head regretfully. “Not yet, just a little better than before. It took me a lot of effort to move from the bedroom to this place.”

Although he said that, Zhou Yan somehow felt that Luo Futu was gradually getting back to normal by his own strength; even without his treatment, he would still recover slowly.

After Luo Futu finished looking at the basket of crocus flowers sitting at the door. “Please bring it over for me.”

Zhou Yan looked at the small basket at his feet, picked it up and walked over to Luo Futu, then sat down opposite him. Luo Futu was a strange guy, except for his face, he seemed to be good-looking everywhere. He smiled and said to Zhou Yan, “If you have common sense, you should stay away from me at this point.”

Zhou Yan stared at his hand. “I was waiting for this moment.”

The red flowers turned into a puddle of lava-like liquid, twisted and deformed, as if the veins were gradually absorbed into the palm of Luo Futu’s hand.

Especially perverted.

This process lasted only a few dozen seconds. All the flowers were absorbed, attached to Luo Futu’s fingers like blood vessels, and also transformed into silver bone armor, gnarled and winding, adhered to his fingers and the back of his hand, as if he had put on special middle-age gloves.

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise; Luo Futu then surprisingly extended his hand and handed it to Zhou Yan. “You want to see?”

He acted as if he was very understanding, but his intention seemed to be more to scare him.

He was so curious that he grabbed Luo Futu’s hand and touched the silvery things on his fingers. The fingertips had become as hot as fire; Zhou Yan was burned and reflexively retracted his hand.

Zhou Yan frowned, re-stroking the silver bone armor, Luo Futu gave a low humming laugh, clenched his hand tight, and raised the silver thing. It felt like sheep’s jade to the touch, but the temperature was very high. However, these things did not stay in Luo Futu’s hand for long, and after two minutes, it completely disappeared.

Zhou Yan grabbed Luo Futu’s hand and turned it over and over for half a day, but nothing could be seen except that his hand was pale and slender and well-shaped.

There were no flowers, and no bone armor.

Zhou Yan let go of his hand, and Luo Futu withdrew his hand as if with some regret, then slowly stood up in front of him, moved his limbs and looked at Zhou Yan. “Well, I didn’t lie to you, did I?”

From being partially paralyzed directly to being able to stand up, this was simply a medical miracle.

Luo Futu’s figure was already very tall: he was standing in the middle of the living room, and half of the chandelier on the ceiling was blocked, and the light hit from above his head, falling sparsely on Zhou Yan’s face. Together with his ugly face… From Zhou Yan’s point of view, the sight was somewhat terrifying.

However, Zhou Yan was unaware of it. He stared at Luo Futu for half a day and suddenly said, “These flowers have turned into some kind of nutrient solution, which is then absorbed by your skin?”

He had never seen a nutrient solution absorbed through the pores of the Dense Cloud Planet, but it was specially formulated for mecha pilots, who would simply lie down in a healing chamber filled with nutrient solution and get better after a good night’s sleep when their bodies became ill. The situation of nutrition, much less the nutrient solution that could be absorbed completely clean in such a short time.

Luo Futu raised his eyebrows slightly. “Nutrient solution… It also sounds like something that works for the body. As I said, I can’t move because my spirit is frozen by soul fire, and I can break through this freeze by my own strength, but it takes a long time. The crocus flower happened to be compatible with the properties of soul fire, and the absorbed ones will be able to restore my mobility.”

Such a fantastical theory. Listening, Zhou Yan frowned. He wanted to say he was talking nonsense, but all this happened in front of his own face. He could not explain the principle of this matter, so there was no way to refute him. Instead, it was easier to understand Luo Futu’s theory that the reason he was slowly recovering was because he was using his own power to “break through” the soul fire.

“So you can show me now.” Zhou Yan stood up and stared at him expressionlessly. “Show me your spirit.”

Luo Futu said honestly, “I can’t yet. My power has not yet been fully restored, these flowers only temporarily solve my physical problems, to completely recover, it will take some time.” He finished and added, “Of course, if there are more crocus flowers, I will recover faster.”

“…This conclusion is not yet proven, I must see the results.”

Luo Futu did not explain to him. He shrugged indifferently and turned to walk outside. Zhou Yan froze and asked, “Ready to leave?”

Luo Futu didn’t even turn his head back. “I’m afraid I’ll have to stay with you for a few more days.”

“…” How can you be so righteous? Is this person shameless?

Zhou Yan immediately followed Luo Futu’s footsteps. “Our initial agreement is still valid, I don’t keep idle people here.”

He was just going to the kitchen, which he knew like the back of his hand, to get a sandwich as if it was his own home.

The latter pushed his hand away irritably. “Don’t change the subject.”

Luo Futu then shoved the sandwich into his mouth, and he slowly and deliberately ate the sandwich until there was only one edge left before he mused, “Mn… mn, I can help you with your work and be a research subject for you, so I’m not an idle person.”

Zhou Yan then put his mind at ease, and when he saw Luo Futu finish a sandwich and then put his hand to his plate, he immediately snatched the last piece away.

“I’m not full yet…”

Zhou Yan interrupted him with one finger and warned, “You ate a plate, this one is mine.”

“Don’t you want it?”

Zhou Yan ignored him.

He was a little angry, but he didn’t know where the anger came from. The more Luo Futu showed this innocent look, the angrier Zhou Yan became. He walked out of the kitchen with the sandwich in his hand. “And clean up the dish you broke, you can move now. Do your own things from now on.”

…Luo Futu suddenly felt that it was better to stay in bed and be happy.
