Even his heart began to ache in waves, the pain making Ruan Qing’s face turn pale, and sweat started to bead on his forehead.
He looked extremely unwell, as if he might faint in the next second.
Xie Xuanlan evidently noticed this, furrowing his brows. He abandoned the idea of leaving through the nearby exit and instead pulled Ruan Qing into a corner.
Then they hid in a small room nearby that controlled the power of the building.
The room controlling the power was extremely narrow, and it was a bit cramped for two people to hide inside, but they didn’t have time to consider that now.
Once Xie Xuanlan entered, he locked the door with one hand and used the other to cover Ruan Qing’s mouth to muffle his uncontrollable gasps.
“Mmm...” Ruan Qing was already struggling to breathe, and now he found it even harder with Xie Xuanlan’s hand covering his mouth.
A blush spread across the corners of his eyes, and tears filled his beautiful eyes.
But Ruan Qing knew he couldn’t make any sound right now; otherwise, both he and Xie Xuanlan would be doomed.
So he didn’t struggle, letting Xie Xuanlan cover his mouth, and leaned against the wall, trying to regulate his breathing without making a sound.
The zombies had been pursuing the two people ever since spotting them, but the corner provided a blind spot, allowing the two to hide without being noticed by the zombies.
Moreover, the room had electricity that had adverse effects on the zombies’ body. It was also made of special materials, providing effective insulation.
After chasing them, the zombies lost track of them.
The zombies seemed to lack the ability to think at the moment, merely chasing humans based on instinct.
Therefore, despite the door being very conspicuous, the zombies remained unaware of the presence of two people hiding inside.
But the zombies didn’t leave directly; instead, they lingered nearby, attempting to find the two.
Ruan Qing’s heart already felt like it couldn’t breathe properly, and on top of that, after excessive exertion, he couldn’t breathe through his mouth. At this moment, no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to regulate his breathing, causing his delicate face to flush red from the effort.
Tears streamed down his cheeks due to the lack of air.
Ruan Qing could only slightly open his mouth, trying to breathe through it to alleviate the suffocating feeling.
Initially, Xie Xuanlan’s attention was on the zombies outside the door, but he couldn’t ignore the warm, moist feeling in his palm.
It was so wet that he couldn’t ignore it.
It felt as wet as if the young man’s saliva had landed on his palm.
Even the warm tears slid down onto his hand.
If it were someone else, Xie Xuanlan would definitely feel disgusted, so disgusted that he would not be able to resist killing the person who dirtied his hands.
But at this moment, he didn’t feel the slightest hint of disgust. Instead, an inexplicable emotion surged within him.
This emotion was both overwhelming and unfamiliar, making his heart extremely uncomfortable, beating rapidly.
It even caused his body to tense up instantly, adrenaline seeming to surge within him, somewhat similar to the excitement he felt when teetering on the edge of life and death.
But it seemed different as well.
Whether it was the underground parking garage or this small room with power control, both had their lights on.
Xie Xuanlan couldn’t focus his attention outside anymore; his gaze fell upon the young man’s face.
Although he wasn’t someone who judged by appearances, he couldn’t deny that this young man had the most outstanding appearance he had ever seen.
Due to the vigorous running, the young man’s hair was tousled, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his face was moist, giving him a slightly disheveled appearance. However, it didn’t detract from his inherent beauty in the slightest.
It even made him appear more enchanting, like a captivating ghost from a novel, sucking the essence out of people.
Furthermore, his delicate face was flushed, tears streaming down uncontrollably, and he seemed to be having trouble catching his breath, as if someone was covering his mouth and doing something indecent to him.
Incredibly seductive.
Even Xie Xuanlan couldn’t help but entertain dark thoughts.
However, for people like him who constantly walked the line between life and death, he had long learned to resist all kinds of temptations. He couldn’t afford to forget his decades of special training over such trivial matters.
That would mean having a weakness, which could lead to danger.
Because no one knew if this young man was a spy sent by someone else.
Those in their line of work often face various dangers, and even their family members could be drawn into perilous situations.
It was best for their significant other to be someone with strong skills and abilities.
A young man like this, who couldn’t even run a few steps without wheezing, obviously didn’t have the ability to extricate himself from danger; he would only become a liability.
Moreover, the young man’s gender was also wrong, and he had once belonged to another man.
Not meeting any of his criteria for a partner.
Xie Xuanlan suppressed that inexplicable emotion and regained his usual calm and seriousness.
He tried to ignore the presence of the young man, focusing his attention back outside.
Xie Xuanlan didn’t realize he had already been thinking so far ahead.
In the past, he would never have considered what to do if his family were in danger.
But perhaps the large number of zombies outside caused Xie Xuanlan to overlook this point.
Maybe he just didn’t want to think deeply about it.
There were no more sounds outside the door.
Presumably, the zombies, unable to find a target, had wandered off on their own.
At this moment, Ruan Qing also felt much better. At least he could fully control his breathing now. He gently tugged at Xie Xuanlan’s hand covering his mouth.
Feeling the warm touch on his hand, Xie Xuanlan’s hand tensed instantly. He lowered his eyes to the young man in front of him.
Seeing that Xie Xuanlan didn’t understand his meaning, Ruan Qing tugged at his hand again and pointed at himself.
Xie Xuanlan was slightly stunned and released his hand.
After being released, Ruan Qing didn’t breathe heavily but instead leaned against the wall with his mouth open, breathing silently.
Xie Xuanlan glanced at the person breathing with his mouth open, his gaze inexplicably landing on the lips of the young man.
The young man’s lips were pale, giving him a somewhat subdued and youthful appearance, diminishing the allure brought by the mole at the corner of his eye.
But because of being covered by him just now, the young man’s lips darkened a lot. At this moment, they were like ripe cherries, tempting people to taste them lightly.
They looked... very enticing.
Plus, because the young man needed to breathe, his thin lips were slightly parted, faintly revealing the pink inside.
And with his head tilted back, he exposed his fair neck like jade, making him even more seductive.
It’s as if he’s tempting him to kiss him.
Xie Xuanlan’s gaze was slightly dazed. In this moment, he seemed to forget his past training and vigilance, subconsciously reaching out towards the young man.
Ruan Qing, with his eyes misted over, didn’t notice any issue with Xie Xuanlan’s gaze.
So, when he sensed Xie Xuanlan’s gaze, he tilted his head slightly, a hint of confusion appearing on his delicate face.
Even his heart began to ache in waves, the pain making Ruan Qing’s face turn pale, and sweat started to bead on his forehead.
