Chapter 62: Dopamine can also relieve pain
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Zhou Yan in fact always knew that Luo Futu’s idol baggage was very heavy. In front of him, he always showed his Tarzan collapse without changing face. If the pain he was suffering at this time was so intense that he could not even pretend, he could imagine how heavy the pain brought about by the curse in his body was.
Zhou Yan drove the A1 under the guidance of Luo Futu to a cave, which was off the beaten track and fell on top of the mountainside, so if they hadn’t been driving the mecha, they wouldn’t have been able to get up there. It was a good choice, no one would disturb them, and the next step would be to let Luo Futu pass through this cursed period in peace.
Zhou Yan parked the mecha on the platform outside the cave, and as soon as he unbuckled his seat belt, Luo Futu in the passenger seat fell down. He hurriedly caught him and half-assisted, half-embraced Luo Futu to drag him out of the mecha cabin.
“It’s so serious, and you’re still hiding it from me!”
Zhou Yan was angry and anxious, if he had said earlier that he was having health problems, he wouldn’t have had to hold on until now. Luo Futu was crooked on top of Zhou Yan, after he helped him enter the cave, before he reached the bed, Luo Futu couldn’t stand anymore, and the two of them fell on the stone bed together. This place may have been Luo Futu’s secret base to hide when the curse struck, and they both had bedding on the bed, so it didn’t hurt to fall on it. And this place had a spell cast, so long after, there was not even a little dust.
“I didn’t expect it to be this bad, there was never a time when it was this bad before…”
Maybe it was because he used to put up with it all by himself, knowing that his willpower would be stronger without someone he could rely on, but now that Zhou Yan was around, he let himself open to him. People have this common problem, it was easier to show their vulnerability in front of people they know and trust.
Zhou Yan wrapped his arm around Luo Futu’s shoulder and sat up with difficulty, he touched his forehead, the heat was hot and his hand was sweaty. Zhou Yan was a little anxious, “How do you feel now? Fever… It doesn’t look like a fever.”
Luo Futu shook his head, just held Zhou Yan’s waist, closed his eyes and put his forehead against his shoulder and neck, close to him, “I’m fine, you stay here with me for a while.”
“It’s not like you’re fine.”
Zhou Yan could feel the sound of Luo Futu’s breathing was more rapid than usual, and the breath that came out when he breathed was very hot… It was even hotter than a patient should be when he had a fever, as if there was a fire burning inside his body.
Zhou Yan frowned and gently pressed the side of Luo Futu’s face, “What is wrong with you?”
Luo Futu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, “I just feel pain, just bear it and it will pass.”
“If it’s just pain, there’s nothing you can do, I brought painkillers… Let’s give you a shot, I don’t know if it will work or not.”
–If the curse only made Luo Futu feel pain, it was relatively easy to solve, pain relief was good, Zhou Yan was worried that this curse would have an effect on his body.
But he also did not understand mystic things, Luo Futu only told him that it hurt, he would not give mystic cure after all.
Zhou Yan put Luo Futu on the bed, then went to his suitcase and took out an injection and syringe.
Luo Futu lay on the bed and took a look at what Zhou Yan was holding and closed his eyes, “What is this?”
“Meperidine… This is a painkiller, the pain relief effect is relatively strong, but it is easy to become addicted to it if not used well. Don’t worry, I’ll help you control it, it’s okay to use it once in a while.”
–When Zhou Yan saw Luo Futu’s situation, he knew that his so-called “just feel the pain” was not as easy as “just”, and that ordinary painkillers did not always work. Ordinary painkillers would not necessarily work, and this kind of painkiller with anesthetic effects was needed.
Luo Futu did not say anything and let Zhou Yan inject the medicine into his body. But the pain inside his body was not relieved, but became more and more painful.
Zhou Yan noticed that his expression was not right and went over to gently touch his forehead, he was a bit anxious, “No? Still feel the pain?”
Luo Futu closed his eyes and nodded his head.
“… What’s wrong? It’s not working? It should.”
“The curse is so powerful that it will not only torment me, but also strengthen me… It will nullify all the potions used on me, whether they are poisons or effective medicines.”
Zhou Yan looked at him in silence after listening to him, only to gently stroke his forehead with his hand, he could see that the pain caused by the curse on Luo Futu’s body should be getting more and more significant, his body’s natural reaction could not fool anyone. Luo Futu was trembling slightly. Naturally, Luo Futu could also see Zhou Yan’s anxiety, he was worried about him.
Luo Futu stared at Zhou Yan in silence for a while and suddenly said softly, “I remember you said that dopamine also has a pain-relieving effect, why not use this?”
Zhou Yan subconsciously replied, “I don’t have dopamine on hand.”
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Luo Futu suddenly let out a laugh, “You have a solution.”
Zhou Yan quickly reacted to what he was talking about and couldn’t help but pinch him hard on the arm, “What time is it? There are still such thoughts.”
“Hiss…”Luo Futu softly inhaled a breath, Zhou Yan hurriedly let go of his arm, but Luo Futu grabbed his wrist, he heard him whisper, “I’m telling the truth, diverting attention, I will not care too much about the curse, this can also reduce the pain.”
Zhou Yan froze, Luo Futu took his hand and tugged it into his arms, Zhou Yan fell on top of him, Luo Futu looked at Zhou Yan for a long time, and when he didn’t act, he tugged his wrist again and urged, “Kiss me.”
Zhou Yan could not tell whether Luo Futu was trying to play a prank or whether he really wanted him to help him, but the way he looked… It was really hard to refuse. He was now staring at his eyes, his face pale, always red lips also growing paler, he had a sickly look, the appearance of less rich silk color, only fragile and delicate.
Zhou Yan sighed in his heart, then raised his hand to cup the side of Luo Futu’s face, lowered his head and gently kissed him on the lips. Luo Futu lay there without moving, only with his hand on Zhou Yan’s waist and stroked heavily, Zhou Yan’s drooping eyelashes twitched slightly, then continued, he licked into Luo Futu’s mouth, entangled with his tongue and then slowly slid. This kind of delicate and gentle kiss was more likely to produce pleasurable sensations for the lovers, in other words, such kisses would make his brain produce more dopamine, as long as Luo Futu really liked him…
Zhou Yan was not a completely tactless person, on the contrary, he knew it very well… It’s just that he rarely did such acts, and in the past, Luo Futu had always been the active and strong one, Zhou Yan basically just cooperated.
This lingering kiss caused Zhou Yan to blush, a thin wisp of Buddha fragrance from his gland floating out, the initiative to Luo Futu wrapped around the body.
Zhou Yan propped up his body and stared at Luo Futu from above, as if asking him – did it work?
Luo Futu felt that he could not take his eyes off him at all, he held Zhou Yan’s waist and stroked it eagerly several times, as if urging Zhou Yan, “Why did you stop?”
Zhou Yan blushed, he hesitated, reached out and pulled off Luo Futu’s belt, his robe fell apart, Luo Futu’s eyes were too revealing, and the moonlight outside was bright, Zhou Yan could see his expression clearly. He grabbed the belt and covered Luo Futu’s eyes. The latter froze for a moment, a teasing smile floated on the lower uncovered half of his face, the corners of his lips slightly curved, very beautiful.
“Again this play… Professor Zhou, just how much do you like it?”
Zhou Yan bit his lips and muttered, “Who let you always stare at me?”
As soon as Zhou Yan’s voice fell, Luo Futu felt his chest being gently stroked, and he drew in a hidden breath, then slowly exhaled at his touch. He had to admit, after his eyes were blindfolded, the body’s senses became stronger, no, as if to make up for the lack of vision, Luo Futu felt that his five senses have become stronger, his sense of hearing had become sharper, when Zhou Yan bent his head close to his ear, the sound of his breathing and exhaling was so obvious… It was just as if he was playing, his lips wandering only a centimeter from his skin, his breath becoming the only contact between the two of them, replacing the direct touch between them.
Luo Futu couldn’t help but swallow, the abrupt knot of his throat sliding rapidly up and down the center of his neck, his pheromone tweaked by the light Budda fragrance of Zhou Yan’s body, radiating out and then actively seeking the open area at the back of his neck. But Zhou Yan seemed to tease him on purpose and stopped touching him after that, only simulating kissing movements around his face without kissing him on the face again, making Luo Futu really feel a bit unbearable.
He suddenly raised his head and tried to pull the belt off his eyes, Zhou Yan had expected him to be unable to resist, and quickly pressed Luo Futu’s hand, whispering in his ear, “Don’t take it off, don’t move, today you have to listen to me.”
“Zhou Yan…”
Luo Futu’s words fell, the side of his face was suddenly kissed by Zhou Yan, “I racked my brains to distract you, to help you ease the pain, do not waste my hard work, ah.”
The black belt was gently placed over his eyes, blocking his view, not even knotted, but Luo Futu really could not take it off. He now even felt that it was Zhou Yan who wanted to play tricks, he was just cooperating with him at this time…
Luo Futu finally lay back gently, the side of his neck tense veins relaxed before the next move. Zhou Yan’s hand slowly slid up Luo Futu’s chest and abdomen, as if teasing him, but because he teased him so casually, and as if he was simply examining his body, Luo Futu’s robe was peeled away to the sides, he swallowed hard with his head on his side. Zhou Yan suddenly came over and gently bit on his throat knot.
The pain induced by the curse did not ease, but Luo Futu’s attention was really not on it at this time, although he still felt the pain, more than the pain, the all of his attention was on the guy who was messing with his body. Luo Futu cupped Zhou Yan’s waist and pressed down on his body, his lips occasionally swept the soft touch, he subconsciously opened his mouth to bite, bite Zhou Yan. This seems to form a reward mechanism for entertainment, his method was suitable, always able to get the “reward” that he wanted.
“You’re hot.”
Luo Futu heard a voice floating into his ears and reacted to what Zhou Yan said. He felt like a pile of dry dynamite powder, and this one spark floated over and set him on fire.
“I don’t understand…” Luo Futu’s voice was not the usual smooth velvet feeling, but for some reason with some dry hoarseness, “is this to help distract me, or to punish me.”
A soft laugh came from above him, Luo Futu could not see Zhou Yan’s expression, but he could imagine his small satisfaction when he succeeded in his mischief. Zhou Yan can also be naughty, pranks included. But he rarely did this kind of thing, probably because he thought… The pranks were a waste of time.
In any case, in his eyes, Zhou Yan was not some uncomfortable piece of wood.
Of course, this “style” of his only needed to be known to himself, fortunately he did not show it to others.
“What I said is true.” Zhou Yan’s voice also brought some trembling. Luo Futu felt him sitting on his body, his hand was supporting his chest, “You usually… Usually, you are not so hot, is it because of the curse?”
–And it was clearly a normal question, but what was his hand doing, it didn’t come down honestly at all.
Luo Futu subconsciously frowned, wanting to see Zhou Yan’s expression at this moment, wanting to express his dissatisfaction to him through his eyes, but he could not take it off if Zhou Yan forbade him to do so.
Luo Futu’s chest heaved twice before he spoke, “Yes, the two-headed snake… Its fire is powerful. Ever since I started to suppress it with my spiritual power, it has been moving against me, refusing to help at all when it matters, and causing trouble once a month… Professor Zhou, don’t go too far, you have a car in front of you and a rut behind you, aren’t you afraid that I will retaliate against you later?”
Zhou Yan was not afraid of him, but instead discussed the curse with him, “The snake is called Candle Jiuyin in our area, it is indeed fire… But Candle Jiuyin is the most powerful demon in the Shanhai scriptures, opening up the heavens and opening up the earth, more powerful than Pan Gu, how could it be tamed by you into a curse.”
Luo Futu searched his mind for memories of Shanhai scriptures and Candle Jiuyin, Zhou Yan was indeed right, but he never tried to trace the source of the curse on himself, because he tried many ways, even tried to get him out of his body, but failed. Luo Futu has now accepted its existence. In a few hundred years, maybe it will be completely digested by himself, then this snake will be completely digested. At that time, this snake would completely become his power.
Luo Futu just thought of this, attention was once again pulled back by Zhou Yan, he subconsciously inhaled, but heard a louder huff above himself, the rich pheromone filled the whole room, Luo Futu slightly raised his neck, holding Zhou Yan’s waist to cooperate with him to lift up.
“Whew…”
Luo Futu froze for a moment and almost laughed out loud – he could even hear impatience in his exhalation of breath, this guy Zhou Yan, could he be scolding him in his heart?
Luo Futu shifted a little with bad intentions and whispered, “It’s not the first time, why are you so angry?”
Zhou Yan grabbed his hand and crossed his fingers, saying in a cold voice, “No matter how many times… I will be angry, even the alpha inside is not as exaggerated as you.”
Luo Futu raised his eyebrows slightly, “Do you mean the size?”
Zhou Yan didn’t say anything, Luo Futu’s smug emotion was suddenly overwhelmed by another emotion, “Have you seen another alpha?”
Zhou Yan did not say anything, sitting on him and shaking mechanically, but Luo Futu was not satisfied with his silence, grabbed the bend of Zhou Yan’s leg and asked, “Have you seen many other alphas?”
Zhou Yan sucked in a breath of cold air because of his rude action, and propped his hand on his chest, “Does the autopsy room count?”
Luo Futu froze for a moment and let go of his hand slightly, but Zhou Yan added, “And my former classmates in the military school, we lived in the same dormitory… Do you believe me when I say I’ve never seen an alpha?”
Luo Futu, although understanding that he was telling the truth, was still dissatisfied, but Zhou Yan “met” alpha when he himself was also an alpha, he could not be faulted, Luo Futu pursed his mouth corner to grab Zhou Yan’s waist harder and harder.
“Hiss… Hey!” Zhou Yan hurriedly held his chest, “You’re not in pain anymore, are you… Stop!”
Luo Futu heard Zhou Yan’s voice seemed to be a little painful, so he restrained himself to slow down, pressed Zhou Yan into his arms, “still hurts.”
… What the hell does it hurt, how can he not see that he is in pain, but can be tossed.
In addition to the fact that the pain from Luo Futu’s curse was really not getting any better, perhaps it’s really just a distraction from the pain, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and tried to get it over with.
“I…”
“You can’t be so fast, Professor Zhou, is this pathological ED?”
“…” Zhou Yan almost died from his anger, he pressed Luo Futu, regained the dominant power back to his own hands – no matter alpha or omega, as long as it’s a man, they will not be happy to be said ED, even Zhou Yan, who seemed to be so puritanical, still existed in this regard. And Zhou Yan psychologically always felt that he was an alpha, Luo Futu actually dared to dislike their own “fast” face… Suddenly full of fighting spirit.
Zhou Yan silently sat on him, gritting his teeth and shaking his head. He was now a bit ready to exert a mecha exam kind of energy, even if you suffer more, you also must get the first place.
And now this contest was between him and Luo Futu.
Zhou Yan swayed for half a day, his face was red, but hearing Luo Futu’s voice getting more and more confused, he was particularly happy, the satisfaction and pleasure brought by that victory… Probably approaching the dopamine index produced when gambling.
Luo Futu hooked his lips and whispered, “Professor Zhou is amazing.”
“You… Don’t talk!”
–He didn’t want him to praise him, so he felt fake when he said it.
Luo Futu then shut his mouth, outside the cave the rain fell, clattering on the ground, accompanied by a muffled thunder, a burst into their ears. Luo Futu exhaled heavily, reached with a hand to hold Zhou Yan, “cold?”
Zhou Yan was almost at the end of his rope, Luo Futu seemed to have strength left, he could not answer his words, or rather, he did not want to answer, afraid that if he spoke out, he would give away his cards.
But if he didn’t say anything, it seemed like he’d see through him. This guy Luo Futu… was a thief.
“Cold… It’s raining outside.”
Zhou Yan’s voice trembled a bit, Luo Futu heard it, he smartly did not make a sound, like chatting with him, softly said, “Then I’ll hide you in my arms, I am hot.”
“…”
Zhou Yan did not have the time to refute him, but suddenly felt a force pressing down on his spine, pressing him into his arms. The heat of Luo Futu’s body really did not subside, and even seemed to be higher than just now. Zhou Yan lay on his body, only felt very comfortable, and did not want to confront him, simply reached out to hug his neck, buried his face in Luo Futu’s arms. Outside the thunder rumbled on and on, the rain became louder, their sounds intertwined into one. It’s only early spring, the snow has not yet melted in some places, and it’s actually raining so hard…. Zhou Yan felt his mind slowly turning to mush, he subconsciously grabbed Luo Futu’s shoulders, the latter soothingly gently smoothed his hair, as if petting a sleeping cat.
Zhou Yan still did not say anything, but Luo Futu could not stand it, holding his neck up and whispering in his ear, “Don’t hold back.”
Zhou Yan closed his eyes, “I can’t understand what you’re saying.”
Luo Futu helplessly kissed him on the top of his hair, “I’m wrong, aren’t I? I won’t say that about you anymore.”
Zhou Yan choked on a breath, Luo Futu suddenly hugged him and rolled over, the black cloth over his eyes slipped down, Zhou Yan opened his eyes and met the other’s eyes, Luo Futu smiled and put his forehead against Zhou Yan’s forehead, “Good boy, don’t hold back, I’m so distressed.”
Zhou Yan tilted his head as if he wanted to say something, but was immediately kissed by Luo Futu, his body came up, the burning sensation came to him, surrounding him impermeably. Zhou Yan heard him say a lot of explicit words, but it seemed that most of them were mixed with threats or pranks. These kinds of sweet words were not heard many times, and Zhou Yan could not help but blush. Luo Futu gave him a few pecks on his face and finally bit his lips, “Still fighting with me?”
Zhou Yan said vaguely, “You… Does it not hurt anymore?”
Luo Futu then took advantage of the situation to deepen the kiss, “I think I still need some dopamine.”
Zhou Yan closed his eyes and heard Luo Futu laughing softly in his ear, “I still feel most happy when I mark you.”
Zhou Yan did not refuse him, Luo Futu opened his mouth and bit on the side of his neck, pheromone poured into his body. Zhou Yan also forgot when he surrendered, in any case, he did not feel cold afterwards, and it was too late to not give in. He completely forgot the initial purpose – no, it seemed to have long forgotten the initial purpose, he started out with… Isn’t it to help Luo Futu to divert his attention, so that he does not suffer so much?
“Zhou Yan, will you always stay with me like this in the future?”
“Will accompany you, not necessarily ‘like this’!” Zhou Yan emphasized the accent, “Don’t play the pity game with me, I’ve already learned a lesson.”
