Chapter 230 - 230 - Fear

"I don't care. I only do what my heart tells me to."

"So you have no intention to reverse any of these, hmph I thought you were different. I thought you would understand!" Prisitsky packed up the tissue samples scoffing loudly.

Something in his provocative words irked him a lot.

Yue glared at his retreating back. "I can't go against my morals for your science! You can be morally grey but I can't! I'm not like that!"

"Don't act innocent when you have killed so many zombies Yue! my science is going to save millions! What can you do?!"

"Save your ungrateful ass!"

Prisitsky growled loudly and stormed off without another word.

Standing by the shore, Yue took a deep breath. "Unbelievable. I can't believe his man. Why is he so annoying? He wants everything to go this way,"

"Yue," Fan Xui held his hand. "Calm down,"

"I'm trying..." he pulled Fan into a hug.

Fan Xui gently caressed his head. "There's something else, isn't it? Why are you so scared of Prisitsky,"

Yue glanced up in shock. 'Fear.... that's what this feeling is...'

His impression of Prisitsky was always neutral. He neither liked him nor hated that man, but today was different. He could not tolerate that man. His hands started to shiver every time he met that man's unwavering eyes.

After Fan mentioned it, He understands what his intense feeling was.

It was fear...

He feared Prisitsky because of his new ability.

Feared being captured

Feared being experimented on.

Feared that his fate will end up similar to this water zombie that was happily swimming around.

Yue gulped silently. "I-I don't know.... i... I'm not feeling that good. Can we go back in?"

"Sun's setting; we'll deal with this tomorrow." Tian soothingly patted his back.

Yue clung to Fan Xui without a word. His hands were still shaking. He tightly locked his fingers together hugging Fan Xui's back.

Realizing his intention Fan lifted him up like a baby in his arms. "Everything is okay. Don't fear, my dear,"

"Corny words~"

"You still love it," Fan kissed his ear lobes. "See your shivering stopped,"

"Enough flirting, you two," Tian said, placing a coat over his back.

Yue glanced back at her. "Trexa?"

"She's in my pocket safe and sound. I won't let anything happen to her. I promise," Tian assured him. "Yue.. with me here you don't have to fear anyone. Just a word from you and I will kill anyone who bothers you."

Yue pouted. "I don't want him dead. Just... away from me. I don't want to be left alone with him ever...."

"I will make sure that never happens." Fan Xui whispered into his ears.

Gently hugging him close, Fan Xui carried him back to the treatment facility.

"What's wrong with him?" Hary's panicked voice came from behind.

Yue tightened his hold.

"Nothing, he's tired and wet. Well get changed,"

"Hmm go. I'll make some dinner," Hary whispered patting Yue's back.

Fan Xui directly entered the tent and sat there with him still on his lap. "you'll catch a cold, Yue," he kissed his pale cheeks and gently removed his arms from his back.

Yue sat there looking at his lover who was frantically searching their bags.

"Ah ha!" he pulled out a towel from the bottom. "We have so many clothes yet only one towel,"

"We had no plans on bathing here," Yue chuckled.

"Sit here," Fan Xui pulled him onto his lap and started to massage his head.

He leaned back on his warm chest...

"Lean forward a bit," Fan kissed the back of his neck.

His palm was gentle and soft, dealing with his tangled-up hair.

Yue combed his finger through his wet locks. It got tangled up slightly. "Should I tonsure my hair? It's too much of a hassle,"

"No I will help maintain it," Fan Xui gently combed his hair. "I love it.. it's silky smooth and it feels like cotton candle in my fingertips," he kissed the top of his head.

"So you'll bath me every day and comb my hair every day. Is that a forever promise I hear?" he turned over and hugged his neck. "I'll be at my house and you'll be at yours. How will you keep your promise?"

Fan Xui pulled his chin up and kissed his lips ever so softly. "Of course you will move in with me,"

Yue suddenly giggled. "How will you convince my parents? They will definitely want me to live with them,"

His lover was silent.

He glanced up at him. Fan Xui had a serious look on his face. "Will your family accept home stay boyfriend?"

"ha-ha. You silly guy. My dad will chew you out. And there is no room left." he kissed him back with as much passion as he could. "I have been away for so long when I was young so he would be reluctant to let me go. it will take a while but I will convince my father."

Fan sighed loudly. "Hmm, I'll be patient,"

Yue touched his rough hair. It was dry, thankfully. "go change your clothes,"

They both swiftly changed into their fresh clothes and went out.

The fire was burning dimly and in that smoke, Hary was heating up a pot of water. "Come on, I have heated the water,"

The cup noodles were opened up and ready to be prepared.

Yue sat down next to him.

"Prisitsky com eat your food darn it!" Hary shouted.

Yue stiffened up viably. A hand gently held his, soothing him off his fear.

Prisitsky came out of the tent and sat opposite to him. "Hary after we return to the base inform your leader that we have found a very special specimen here. It is vital for my research. I'm sure Qian will be interested in it as well." His black eyes were focused on his unblinking.

Yue's hands started to tremble. He silently ate his noodles and went back to the tent.

Tian followed in after him and closed the tent flap. "Okay what's going on? Did he hurt you, that Prisitsky?"

Yue moved close. "I.. I have a second ability.... I'm scared he will try to experiment on me...."
