Zhou Yan’s tense nerves relaxed at once and he fell asleep without Luo Futu’s help in casting a sleeping spell. The two of them have not had such a quiet time together for a long time, and they did not want to leave for a while.

Luo Futu stared at Zhou Yan’s face for a while, reached out and gently wrapped his arms around him, and Zhou Yan leaned over unconsciously, burying his face half in Luo Futu’s arms, like a sleeping baby.

…

This feeling was really subtle.

–It’s better not to wake him up for now, let him sleep a little longer, he must be tired after such a long time without rest.

Luo Futu held Zhou Yan a little tighter, gently stroking his shoulder, looking at it, couldn’t help but reach out and rub Zhou Yan’s chin twice.

Zhou Yan was a clean person, never let himself show wretched fatigue, his beard didn’t grow very fast, but he did not like the sloppy look, so every day he would shave, never leaving traces of stubble on his face.

Now… He was in the lab for several days in a row, and naturally did not care to groom himself, and now a thin layer of new stubble had grown.

Luo Futu could not help but smile lightly, touching the short stubble and finding it very interesting. Zhou Yan seemed to feel him touching him and made a muffled sound, seemingly dissatisfied, and turned his face away from his hand, so Luo Futu stopped messing with him and gently patted zhou Yan’s shoulder to let him sleep.

But at this time, the door of the dormitory was suddenly knocked, Luo Futu frowned slightly, reacted quickly and waved his hand directly at the door to make a boundary to block the knocking sound outside. However, Zhou Yan still heard it, he gently inhaled, opened his eyes and saw Luo Futu’s handsome face, the momentary impact was still not small.

Even if he was good-looking, he couldn’t be so confident, how to always be so close to him.

“Not enough sleep, sleep a little longer.”

Zhou Yan looked at him helplessly, hugged Luo Futu’s waist and leaned down on him, “It’s okay. Just now I think I heard a knock at the door, who is it?”

“Heard it?”

Zhou Yan nodded his head.

Luo Futu did not think, “I did not open the door.”

“How can that be? In case it’s an emergency…”

Zhou Yan said he wanted to get up to check, but Luo Futu held him down, “Don’t worry, I know who it is without looking. It’s Li Qing, he came to see you before, I stopped him, anyway, it’s not urgent.”

–Zhou Yan was too busy to take care of himself some time ago, so he didn’t have time to care about him.

Zhou Yan looked at him suspiciously, “What is it?”

Luo Futu deliberated for a moment before saying, “He wants you to give him a meridian gland implant, to be able to really drive the mecha.”

–Luo Futu didn’t want to mention the mecha or Lurian at this time. Although Zhou Yan’s heart was temporarily settled, mentioning it again on such short notice would inevitably make him feel sad again.

Sure enough, when Zhou Yan heard this, the expression on his face clearly lagged for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself and said in a deep voice, “He has a heart.”

Luo Futu saw the mention, simply told him what had happened in the past few days, “Li Qing regretted that if he could manage the mecha, Gabriel could at least have a helper beside him, so he would not have to face the tide of beasts alone. When Gabriel mentioned this matter to him, he himself worried about insecurity, delayed to agree … So these days he comes almost  every day to beg, asking for the implantation of the scripture trick, but you could not get away, so I only let him go back to wait for the time being.”

Zhou Yan heard him say Gabriel, his mood was still low, silently got up from the bed, and said softly, “I didn’t expect him to be a man of great affection.”

Zhou Yan knew that Li Qing wanted to use this way to remember Gabriel, whose death made him decide to follow his old path. This was Li Qing’s feelings, not to show the heartache, it did not look as if there was much pain, just a silent decision.

He was, on the contrary, very strong… If Gabriel didn’t die, they might have, indeed, been suitable together.

Luo Futu saw Zhou Yan’s silence and thought he was sad again, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and Zhou Yan looked back, “I’ll go find Li Qing.”

Luo Futu held him down and shook his head, “No need to rush, he’s gone now, wait a minute.”

Zhou Yan looked at him, waiting for Luo Futu to say something else, and sure enough, Luo Futu smiled a little bit, and showed rare hesitation, “There is one thing, I don’t know if I should give it to you.”

“What is it?”

Zhou Yan knew that he had treated him badly a few days ago and felt embarrassed in his heart, and he did not want to face Luo Futu with such a depressed attitude anymore, so he raised his nature and told Luo Futu a joke, “Could it be that you have prepared a gift for me?”

Luo Futu laughed, “How can you be so smart? Can you read my mind too?”

He took out a brocade bag from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Yan, who took it with suspicion and opened it to see that there was also a white jade bag carved into a hollow brocade bag, which had some bright light shining in the middle. “I’m not used to wearing accessories… This is not something you used to give to a good omega, right?”

Luo Futu gave him a shocked look, “I’ve never had a love interest.”

Zhou Yan laughed, naturally did not take it to heart, again picked up the white jade pouch carefully, and then puzzled, pointing to the pouch in the middle of the bright light, puzzled, “But this is…”

Luo Futu moved closer to him and put Zhou Yan back into his arms, holding his hand holding the pouch with his other hand, “When Gabriel died, I set up a boundary around him, and these days I tried to collect his soul to see if I could succeed… Unfortunately, Gabriel was too badly injured and I only gathered this.”

Zhou Yan looked at Luo Futu in shock–that is, inside this pouch, was Gabriel’s soul? “You… Really? Impossible, you didn’t say that at the beginning… It’s just a lie to comfort me, right?”

Luo Futu pinched his face in amusement and leaned back on the bed, “It’s true, I originally wanted to warm him up for a while to see if it would work, if it did, I would tell you, if it failed, I wouldn’t tell you, so you wouldn’t have to rejoice. You were in such a bad mood, it is easy to have problems with great joy and grief. It is because you seem to be better now that I decided to tell you.”

–At least it gave him some hope in his heart.

Zhou Yan held the white jade pouch, not knowing what to say for a moment. To Zhou Yan, an extreme materialist, the soul was a fallacy, but now Luo Futu told him that there was still a chance to save Gabriel’s soul, and Zhou Yan suddenly felt that materialism was really good.

Luo Futu gently touched his face, “How about it, do you like this gift?”

Zhou Yan looked at him and glanced at the pouch in his hand, “Thank you, even if there is only a ray of hope…”

Luo Futu saw that he finally smiled, and moved closer to him, “Did I do well? It’s not easy to collect a broken soul like this, it’s a lot of work for me.” Zhou Yan then nodded again before Luo Futu said, “So you don’t have any reward for me?”

“…” Zhou Yan looked at him speechlessly, “What kind of reward do you want, High Priest is so powerful, do I have anything to give you here?”

Luo Futu raised his eyebrows, “That makes sense, I’ll have to think about it. But for now, let’s collect some interest.” He pointed to his face, “Give me a kiss.”

The two of them seem to be in a cold war since Gabriel’s accident, not to mention intimate behavior, not even kissing and hugging, although he did not want to force, but no matter what Gabriel would do in the future, they have to live normally, right. Gabriel was the priority, because if he really couldn’t be saved, his and Zhou Yan’s life was estimated to come to an end. After so much hard work, a move back to the liberation? He did not want to.

Zhou Yan pursed his lips and smiled a little, then went over and gently kissed Luo Futu on the lips. Luo Futu hugged Zhou Yan, who hugged his neck and buried his face in the side of his neck, “…. You’re my miracle.”

Luo Futu hugged Zhou Yan tightly, he could feel Zhou Yan’s emotions, he did nothing but seemed to be more profound than doing anything else, keeping their two hearts close together. The two embraced calmly for a long time, before Zhou Yan withdrew from Luo Futu’s arms, and he put the white jade pouch back into that small pocket and handed it to Luo Futu, “But this should be left at your care. What warming souls, collecting souls… I don’t understand it at all, there is no such thing as soul in my world.”

The modern scientific explanation of the soul was just an idea generated by the brain and nerves, a brain constructing a fictitious impression.

“That’s why it’s better to put it in your care than in mine.”

Luo Futu smiled and took the pouch, “That’s what I mean too, what’s the point of having you carry around another alpha’s soul? Unless it’s mine.”

Luo Futu just finished speaking, his mouth was suddenly covered by Zhou Yan, he frowned and stared at him, his eyes flickered slightly, looking at Luo Futu very moved, but Zhou Yan did this action completely subconsciously, he reacted to his own embarrassment, Zhou Yan withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes and whispered, “Do not say such things casually… I don’t want anyone else to get into trouble.”

Zhou Yan now understood why older people were particularly squeamish about certain things, and even saying certain things was taboo… It was not that Zhou Yan has never experienced death, some of his comrades went to war together and never came back. But those people did not give him as strong a sense of reality as today.

Zhou Yan felt that he had become indecisive and uncool, but he was still willing to be a little more scrupulous.

Luo Futu looked at him for a long time and came up to Zhou Yan, “I promise you, nothing will happen to me.”

Zhou Yan nodded, “Okay, that’s good…”

Luo Futu suddenly kissed his lips sideways and pressed Zhou Yan to the bed, Zhou Yan was scared and pushed him, “Hey…!

–It’s broad daylight!

Luo Futu didn’t care, he undid Zhou Yan’s clothes and kissed down his neck, “But wasn’t the look on your face just now an invitation?”
