This Damned Thirst for Survival

Chapter 234 - Lovers

"Young Master Jiang?"

Chi You smiled as he took a step forward and arrived in front of Jiang Luo in an instant. Jiang Luo subconsciously put his hand in the way, but the image before him shifted and he was suddenly pinned down by Chi You on an antique bed.

The bed curtain swings, the carved beams. Jiang Luo is in a familiar position, in a familiar Republican-style bed, half-pressed against the wall by Chi You.

Chi You clutches Jiang Luo's hands, his breath hotly sprayed on Jiang Luo's face, giving him goose bumps.

Grass ......

Jiang Luo tries to break free from Chi You's grip, but his strength is like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to shake Chi You. Jiang Luo pursed his lips, his eyes unhappy, "Get up."

Chi You did not say anything, but his hands were trembling slightly.

Jiang Luo thought he was wrong, but the next moment, Chi You leaned in closer and the trembling in his body became more pronounced.

The delicate kisses fell on his face, from his forehead to his brow, Chi You's handsome face flushed an eerie red, excitement and shyness filled his chest, his hands were shaking but his ambition was burning fiercely and anxiously.

Jiang Luo, who was kissed on the face before anything was clear: "......"

"Fuck off," he said, lowering his eyebrows in annoyance, "and don't fucking kiss."

Why should you get kissed outside and kissed inside!

Chi You is so fucking inhuman.

The man who had already kissed him on the bridge of his nose paused, and instead pressed Jiang Luo's hand down with the black mist, lifting Jiang Luo's chin with his free hand and taking a closer look at Jiang Luo's appearance.

"There's no difference between the way you look when you grow up," Chi You's fingers rolled, and he suddenly smiled, "Didn't you say you wanted to gouge out my eyes? Didn't you want me to see you like this? I haven't seen you for a long time, so you haven't forgotten about me, have you?"

No one knows how excited Chi You is to see Jiang Luo again. His neck was flushed and the tips of his ears were already red. The bruises on the backs of his hands were visible, and apart from his shyness, a certain dumb desire was growing even more wildly.

Jiang Luo grunted coldly, "Who am I to remember who you are."

Chi You: "By virtue of the fact that I am married to Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Luo's shame at being taken advantage of by a teenage boy was about to explode and he forced himself to calm down, "So, what do you want, I'll only be here for three minutes."

"Yes, you'll only be here for three minutes." Chi You sighed, "Three minutes, I can't do anything."

Another sizzling kiss landed shakily on Jiang Luo's lips, his breathing heavy, "How could I never keep you?"

No sooner had the words left his lips than the door behind him was rapped.

"Someone's coming," Chi You glanced up at the door, "I guess it's the other three guys behind the door coming through. You can only be here for three minutes, and anyone who wants those three minutes will want to have you."

Jiang Luo: "...... It doesn't have to be so grand."

Terrifying.

If one Chi You is so terrifying, how much more nerve-wracking would it be to have four Chi You doppelgangers coming together?

Three minutes to hurry up and pass!

Chi You said briskly, "I was thinking the same thing. Since you'll only be here for three minutes, why don't you leave all three minutes to me?"

With that, he dropped a sloppy kiss on Jiang Luo's neck, nibbling rawly on the knot of Jiang Luo's throat.

Jiang Luo rolled his throat and gave Chi You a sidelong glance, "You know how to take advantage of people at such an early age, no wonder you'll be such a pervert when you grow up."

Chi You asked, slightly curious, "How did I rogue you?"

Jiang Luo smiled, "I won't say."

"I know you don't have to tell me, after all I am 'Chi You'," Chi You laughed, "you're trying to stall."

Jiang Luo's face didn't change when he was caught out, "So what if I am? There's only about half a minute left, and what do you want in half a minute?"

Chi You laughed helplessly, "You're right, half a minute won't do anything."

Slowly, with a movement as light as a breeze, he rubbed Jiang Luo's lips.

Just the slightest touch and his breath burned. Jiang Luo felt as if he had become some kind of a raging poison that could drive the man in front of him completely crazy without doing anything.

His eyelids fluttered, like me that much?

With this kiss and three minutes almost up, Chi You stroked Jiang Luo's cheek, "Goodbye."

This time, he is no longer the broken and frantic man he once was. He let go of Jiang Luo with a courteous, melancholy gaze, even calmly.

But as Jiang Luo was about to pull away, Chi You took his hand again, "Master Jiang, I would be happy if you could come and see me again."

Jiang Luo's eyes flashed and when he opened them again, he was back in the car.

The evil spirit's handsome face moved infinitely closer, "Why are you wandering off?"

Jiang Luo looked at him steadily and realised, "He's playing the pity ......"

Evil Ghost: "Who?"

Jiang Luo gave him a special look: "A most shameless man."

Chi You looked at Jiang Luo quietly, his expression clear: Isn't that you?

Jiang Luo sneered twice and moved to the driver's seat to drive home, "Let's practice at home."

They fought in the training room at home, and ended up fighting in a different way. Jiang Luo fell asleep straight afterwards and had a dreamless night, waking up refreshed the next day to realise it was eleven o'clock at noon.

"Shit," Jiang Luo snapped out of it, "I'm late?!"

He got up quickly and put on his clothes, the plane ticket he had booked was at 9am and now he was more than late, the plane had already taken off.

How come no one had come for him? No one had called him on his mobile.

No one else, but Chi You, who was going on the mission with him, hadn't called him either.

Jiang Luo put on his trousers and hurried out, looking around for Chi You, " Chi You?"

The room was peaceful and quiet, with no one else in it but him.

Jiang Luo searched room by room, but could not find Chi You. The villa was quiet and in this silence Jiang Luo suddenly felt a little panicky.

He turned around and walked quickly back to his bedroom, picked up his mobile phone and made a call to Chi You, which took a long time, but when Jiang Luo's heart sank to the bottom, it was finally picked up.

"Awake?" The evil spirit laughed low.

Jiang Luo was instantly relieved and felt as if he had come back to life, "Where are you?"

"I'll be home soon," Chi You heard the wrongness in his tone and, in a rare moment of non-teasing, said directly, "I've caught Li Sha coming back and handed the man over to the scientific research bureau. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it back."

After a pause, Chi You opened the window and gently lowered his voice against the wind, "What's wrong, bad dream?"

Liao Si, who was driving in the driver's seat, looked in the rear view mirror and saw his master's softened expression and shuddered in fear.

It was hard to believe his eyes that his master could have such a gentle look that was not disguised!

"No," Jiang Luo denied flatly, finally relaxing onto the sofa, "You've sent Li Sha to the Bureau of Scientific Research? When did that happen, so quickly."

"This morning," Chi You said, "I saw you were tired and let you have a good night's sleep."

Jiang Luo couldn't help but laugh, "You moved really fast, you were coming back as soon as I opened my eyes. Great Chi You comrade, I'll give you a commendation this time, as for what to eat ......"

He thought about it, after a good night's sleep, Jiang Luo had an interest in wanting to do it himself, "You go to the supermarket and buy some vegetables, I'll do it myself."

Chi You said, "What do you want?"

"Ribs, lobster, pancetta and ......"

Hanging up the phone, Chi You said to Liao Si, "Stop at the supermarket up ahead."

Liao Si subconsciously said, "Yes."

A few minutes later, Chi You got out of the car and went into the supermarket alone. Twenty minutes later, Liao Si sees Chi You breezing through the supermarket with two bags of ingredients.

There was also a bundle of spring onions with half a head sprouting from the bag.

"......" Liao Si silently closes his jaw.

It's a terrible thing, this love thing.

*

Jiang Luo had been waiting for less than an hour when Chi You returned with two large bags of food. He crouches in the doorway with an apple in his mouth and checks out the ingredients, nodding in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, everything is fresh."

After making sure he didn't have to go back to the supermarket to buy more, Chi You went inside and followed Jiang Luo into the kitchen. Chi You took out the dishes and rolled up his sleeves with interest, "What do you want to make?"

"Jiang Luo made himself crave for these three dishes, especially the potato stew, which is so full of meat juice that it's even better than meat. It's a good thing you don't eat, you don't have to eat with me."

Chi You said firmly, "I'll eat."

Jiang Luo gave him a curious look, "You eat? Didn't you always think that non-humans didn't need to eat?"

Chi You said calmly, "I haven't eaten anything you've made."

Jiang Luo's heart softened and he raised his chin, "Then you can handle more material."

It was an hour before the two men ate their meal. Jiang Luo doesn't want to look like he particularly cares as he watches Chi You take a bite, but his eyes are still fixed on him, even with some subtle nervousness, "How was it?"

The corners of Chi You's mouth curled into a subtle smile as he took another chopstick, "It's delicious."

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "You don't even look at who did it."

Both men are good eaters and have much larger appetites than the average adult man. Jiang Luo had purposely steamed a whole big pot of rice, and there was not much left at the end. All the dishes were swept away, leaving only the sauce still smelling good.

Jiang Luo slumped comfortably in his chair and, with his long legs, lifted his foot to kick Chi You from under the table, "There is a default rule for cooking at home: those who cook do not wash the dishes, and those who wash the dishes do not cook."

Chi You instantly picked up his phone and tapped it.

Jiang Luo said curiously, "What are you doing?"

Chi You said slowly, "I'm buying a dishwasher."

Jiang Luo: "...... Get lost, you'll still have to do the dishes until the dishwasher arrives."

As the one who eats for free, Chi You went to the kitchen to scrub the dishes as instructed.

But those hands, long and graceful enough, lost all dexterity when faced with the greasy dishes, and soon the kitchen was filled with the sound of dishes breaking.

Chi You stiffens for a moment and looks back towards the kitchen door, but no one is there.

With a trace of relief, he threw the broken dish into the trash and moved on to the next one without a word.

But within seconds, the omnipotent Mr. Evil Ghost shattered another bowl.

Chi You: "...... heh."

Jiang Luo, who had been standing by the door at some point, leaned against the frame and watched Chi You's movements with a silent laugh.

It's quite a loser, but it's fun to watch.

It was a relaxing day.

Jiang Luo stretches and returns to the living room, pretending not to be aware of Chi You who has silently finished with the crumbs.

A few moments later, Chi You came out of the kitchen with a bag of rubbish in his hand, and Jiang Luo's smile flashed in his eyes as he deliberately asked, "What's that?"

Chi You didn't show anything wrong at all, "Food waste."

Jiang Luo said, "You still have to go out after you throw it away, it's better to throw it away tomorrow."

Chi You had already walked to the door and was in no hurry to change his shoes, "A little thing, it's no trouble. Would you like some fruit?"

Jiang Luo let him go with a smile, "Bring me a box of ice-cream."

Chi You gripped the door handle, "What else do you want?"

He is surprisingly considerate today, and Jiang Luo orders a half-hearted push of snacks. Chi You listens patiently before pushing the door open and leaving.

Jiang Luo blinked, looked at the closed door and lazily dialled the Research Bureau, "Hello, what's the status of the blood eel incident in the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtze?"

Jiang Luo closed his eyes thoughtfully as he received the answer, "It's been taken care of".

Chi You What does he want?

Jiang Luo thought about it all afternoon but couldn't figure it out. At night when he went to bed, he suddenly whispered eerily in Chi You's ear, "What are you up to?"

Chi You pretended not to understand, "What?"

Jiang Luo nibbled on his ear.

Chi You laughed sullenly, "What do you think I want to do?"

Jiang Luo said quietly, "If I knew, would I have come to ask you?"

Chi You raised his arm around Jiang Luo's waist, "You think too much."

"I approached the Research Bureau just to be with the head of the Research Bureau bright and early," Chi You said, "You're going to be in the Research Bureau for many years, and for those years I don't want our relationship to stay buried. My people know that and your people should be prepared."

Jiang Luo said, "Only because of this?"

Chi You said, "Only because of this."

Jiang Luo is silent for a moment and rolls back onto his pillow.

Under the bedding, two hands slowly clasped together.

Chi You suddenly said, "I've just realised that I don't want to be lovers with you."

Jiang Luo gave him a sideways glance.

Chi You said, "In our relationship, we should call each other lovers."

Jiang Luo joked, "I didn't think you'd ever figure it out, how did you get the hang of it?"

"I saw an old couple in the supermarket when I was shopping for groceries," Chi You summed it up lightly, turning to say, "Aren't I your lover?"

Jiang Luo laughed out loud completely this time, his laughing voice pleasant and relaxed, "You are you are you are you are. Good night, my love, go to bed now."

In the darkness, Chi You couldn't help but smile too, and he propped himself up to drop a kiss on Jiang Luo's lips, whispering, "Good night."

The author has something to say.

I'll continue to update tomorrow, and the will start with some supporting characters in addition to Chi You falling~
