Chapter 151 - Love you

Muchen sat down beside Yunfeng, gently cradling his lover's hand in both of his own. The once soft, pink skin was now rough, new callouses forming along his thumb. His gentle hands—hands that had once played with Muchen's hair, traced lazy circles on his back—had turned rough.

His throat tightened.

"Yunfeng... you will wake up, right?" His voice was barely above a whisper, trembling with unspoken fear. He pressed their joined hands to his forehead, his lips grazing the knuckles. "You won't leave me again, will you, you bastard…"

The silence around him felt suffocating.

"You can't leave me again," he murmured, his voice breaking. "I won't allow you. Should I tie you up and carry you on my back if you try? Hah... would you hate me if I did?" A weak chuckle escaped his lips as he pressed a kiss to the back of Yunfeng's hand. "Why did you leave the city in the first place… why did you leave me?"

He didn't expect an answer.
