PFRG: Chapter 225

In the bleak and barren plain, a deserted city could be seen in the distance.

It was called a city, but it was surrounded by a circle of towering high walls. At first glance, it looked like a giant upright fortress.

Due to the sudden appearance of a door, two figures suddenly appeared in this silent environment without warning.

The moment they landed, they stepped on the dead branches on the ground and made a cracking sound.

Lou Yueren got a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on. He looked around, and his tone sounded helpless and doting. “Dear Captain Chi, you are probably the only one who would choose this place as the location of your honeymoon.”

“Yes, I want you to know more about my true self.”

This answer completely blocked Lou Yueren’s next words. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the man’s calm and natural smile. He casually pulled Chi Ting into his arms and kissed him gently, “Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome. Have you heard of love at first sight? This means that no matter what you look like, I like you.”

Chi Ting was already accustomed to the man’s sudden little movements. After the kiss, he raised his eyes with a smile. “Love at first sight, are you sure?”

Lou Yueren paused slightly, and his voice became a bit lighter. He tried to cover up the smile that emerged. “It definitely wasn’t to the point where love was a matter of life and death, but one thing is certain. Dear, I really like your looks.”

Chi Ting hummed and said, “Then this shouldn’t be called love at first sight.”

Lou Yueren raised an eyebrow. “What is it called?”

Chi Ting slowly uttered the words, “Lust at first sight.”

He finished speaking and glanced at Lou Yueren’s expression of being speechless. The smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden. He casually grabbed the man’s wrist and walked away. “Let’s go. I’ll take you for a stroll.”

Lou Yueren chuckled and let his lover lead him inside.

Ever since obtaining the complete authority of all the fragments of the doomsday world through Rabbit No 1, Chi Ting had been working with Lu Nanling to integrate and build the original world.

At this moment, all the fragments that could be found had basically been pierced together. The entire instance world had been running quite stably so far.

They walked through the closed door, and the two of them instantly entered a world completely different from the outside.

The house still looked a bit dilapidated and was full of the bleak feeling of war and chaos, but the pedestrians coming and going added a lot of peace and tranquility to everything.

The residents here were also NPCs from their original world. After depriving them of their restrictive instructions, as long as there was no additional intervention, it was basically like normal life without any abnormality.

The sky was gray, and the sun wasn’t so dazzling.

Chi Ting walked on such a street. He closed his eyes in a good mood at everything that was so familiar and breathed in the current air.

The moment he opened his eyes again, his eyes turned around and waved to Lou Yueren. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back to my house.”

“Your home?” Lou Yueren’s attention was always on Chi Ting. Due to his previous understanding of Chi Ting’s circumstances, he didn’t have a lot of good feelings about this world. It wasn’t until this time that he showed a bit more interest in his expression.

Chi Ting’s residence wasn’t as spacious as imagined, but it was a very lucky thing for many people to have such a place to live in such a doomsday.

After all, more people were homeless and could only hide in the resettlement area provided by the coalition government.

The moment he reached the door, Chi Ting remembered that he no longer had the key.

There was a moment of silence before he raised his foot neatly.

There was a loud noise, and the tightly closed door was kicked open.

Lou Yueren laughed. “Pfft.”

Chi Ting looked back. Before he had time to stare at the snickering guy, he heard a voice coming over. “Ah, I thought someone made such a loud noise. So you are back, Xiao Chi! Really, how many times have I reminded you? Why do you always lose your keys? Now you have to change the locks again.”

Chi Ting paused for a moment. He looked at the figure who hurried out of the next room. A gentle emotion flashed in his eyes, and he smiled. “Yes, Uncle Jie. I’m back.”

It was just like in his memory. It was Uncle Ji, his neighbor who had lived next door to him for a long time.

At this moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened. It felt a bit like a lifetime ago.

Uncle Jie smiled back. His gaze quickly turned to the side, and he said in a meaningful tone, “This is…”

“He is…”

Before Chi Ting could speak, a figure flashed in front of him. Lou Yueren had already stepped forward and shook Uncle Jie’s hand very enthusiastically. “Hello, Uncle Jie. I am Chi Ting’s lover.”

The impact of this sentence obviously wasn’t small. It was a bit preset, but Uncle Jie’s face still showed a look of shock as if struck by lightning. “L-Lover? When did the registration take place?”

Lou Yueren was reminded. “Oh, there is such a thing as registration here?”

Chi Ting told him. “…It is just a certificate. There is no unified record. It is just a formality.”

Then he said goodbye to Uncle Jie and directly pulled Lou Yueren into the house. He seemed to know what this man was going to say and blocked his mouth in advance. “If you are interested, I can take you to experience it later.”

Lou Yueren got the answer he wanted and blinked in a contented manner. “Of course, I am interested. Sometimes, such a useless thing as a sense of ritual is also very important.”

“Is it important?” Chi Ting glanced at him with a smile. “Who was it that skipped a lot of preparations in advance on the wedding day due to his own selfish desire?”

Selfish desire.

Lou Yueren recalled the scene at that time, cleared his throat slowly, and changed the subject very abruptly. “From what Uncle Jie said just now, you used to lose your keys often?”

“Yes, after all, anything can happen during the operation. It is very troublesome to have to pay attention to things like keys. I did lose them often in the beginning. Later, it became much more convenient after the administration allocated storage space to each of us.” Chi Ting was standing in the place where he had lived for a long time when he spoke. There was some nostalgia in his eyes. “Sure enough, there is no place like home. I didn’t expect that I could really come back.”

Lou Yueren answered, “If you like, we can come and stay for a few days at any time.”

Chi Ting was amused by this tone. “Why does your description make it feel like this place is an extra vacation property?”

“You can understand it that way.” Lou Yueren didn’t regard himself as an outsider at all. His eyes slowly swept over the place where Chi Ting had lived for a long time inch by inch, as if he wanted to imprint everything in his mind. He casually walked to the shabby bookshelf in the corner and looked at the various codes cluttered on it. “What are these?”

“Oh, basically some mission information,” Chi Ting said. He noticed Lou Yueren opening the cabinet on the right. He paused for a moment but didn’t stop this person. “What you are holding now are copies of inspections over the years. They are mainly routine inspections. Another part is the physical examination after every mission. There is nothing to see.”

Lou Yueren didn’t stop when hearing ‘there is nothing to see.’ Instead, he showed unusual patience and read through them one by one.

After he finished reading, he took out the next stack and continued to read.

Unknowingly, the whole room was filled with a strange silence.

Chi Ting looked at Lou Yueren’s gradually silent face without a smile. His heart moved slightly, and he could only sigh secretly.

He thought for a while before choosing to walk over.

“If you are interested in these, there will be plenty of time in the future…” Chi Ting said this casually and was about to take it. Just as he was about to grab it, he was avoided by Lou Yueren.

He said in a tone that sounded as light as usual, “The future is the future, and now is now. It is a rare opportunity to admire the great achievements of Captain Chi. How can I miss it casually?”

His expression didn’t seem to change much, but Chi Ting still caught the anger in his eyes and could only look at the ceiling silently.

He thought about going home to take a look but forgot that these documents clearly recorded the details of the ‘treatment’ after returning from missions. This was indeed not suitable for Lou Yueren to see.

But since he had already seen it…

Chi Ting glanced at Chi Ting’s expression but didn’t say anything. He picked up a newspaper that he had just taken from the mailbox at the door and sat at the window in the sunshine to read it slowly.

The two of them looked at each other and didn’t speak for a while.

It wasn’t known how long it took. As the footsteps approached, Chi Ting could feel a hot breath gently covering him, followed by Lou Yueren’s voice, “Dear…”

Such words rubbed against his ears as if something burned directly on his skin.

“Huh?” Chi Ting looked sideways. From this angle, he could only see the vague outline of Lou Yueren’s profile and couldn’t distinguish his specific expression.

Then he felt Lou Yueren gently kiss him on the ear. “Thank you for your hard work, Captain Chi.”

Chi Ting was slightly stunned. Then he understood what the person said.

He felt the restrained low anger in the words and smiled silently. “It isn’t hard.”

“If I say it is hard, then it is hard.” Lou Yueren put his arms around Chi Ting, took the newspaper from Chi Ting’s hand, and threw it aside. He hugged Chi Ting very naturally. “Fortunately, that is only a thing of the past. From now on, you just need to be yourself.”

It was as if something was scratching lightly at his heart. Chi Ting opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Lou Yueren laugh again. “As for the dirty and tiring work, I’m happy to serve you.”

Chi Ting wasn’t polite. “Then thank you for the hard work.”

Lou Yueren suppressed the strong and surging heartache. He used Chi Ting’s previous tone, “It isn’t hard.”

He paused and picked Chi Ting up. “Then before going to visit other places, do you want to do something more important first?”

Chi Ting rarely didn’t react. “What is the most important thing?”

Lou Yueren smiled and turned the man around. He lifted Chi Ting’s chin with his fingertips, brought it to him, and kissed him again. “Of course, it is what I just said. Go and register.”

At this distance, Chi Ting slowly looked up. He met the extremely deep gaze and chuckled. “Brother Ren.”

The sudden name made Lou Yueren show a rare stunned look. “Huh?”

Chi Ting looked at him steadily. “In fact, I think that even though No 7 didn’t die well, there is at least one thing he should be thanked for.”

Without waiting for Lou Yueren to ask, he raised his head slightly and responded to the light kiss just now.

A hot atmosphere instantly filled the originally small space until the breathing of the two people became heavier. The two figures entangled together gradually loosened up.

Chi Ting’s chest rose and fell slightly, but there was gentle warmth in his eyes. “I am thankful to him for letting me meet you.”

“Me too.” The suppressed emotions in Lou Yueren’s eyes finally dissipated a lot. His chest shook faintly with the dull laughter in the hugging posture. “For this reason, I’ll reluctantly light a stick of electronic incense for him when we go back.”

Then he said with certainty, “As for that dog thing, you can only light one, no more.”
