Chapter 1204: Purely Sleep

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Letting him lying on the same bed with her was already the biggest concession that Lin Qiao could make.

Some might say that she was too cold or heartless, but she didn’t care. Wu Chengyue had done a lot for her, and he wanted to be with her. However, that didn’t mean he could change her way of living. They had a son together, so she allowed him to be the father of her son instead of keeping Teng for her own. That should be enough.

She had the right to choose her own life. A man who pursued her really hard could not change her life. She was preparing to spend the rest of her life alone. At least before, she never planned to marry any man,

She was able to survive in the post-apocalyptic era and protect the people she cared about. What did she need a man for? Hadn’t she been living a perfect life without a man in her life? Besides, she wasn’t like the animals that needed to mate in the mating seasons. It was nice to have no desires. She was never very into sex anyway… She could totally live without a sex life.

Her principles for life hadn’t changed. Even though she might have gradually accepted Wu Chengyue as a part of her life, it did not mean that he was allowed to do anything he wanted.

Because of Teng, he had been in a special position in her heart. She had been keeping a balance in her relationship with the man in a complicated way. He was the only man so special to her.

It required love for two people to build a family. Before there was love, they needed to like each other. To start liking each other, they had to have good feelings for each other.

It sounded simple, but was hard to do. At first, she and Wu Chengyue did not even like each other; they even fought a few battles. After all that happened later on, Wu Chengyue’s good feelings for her gradually turned into fondness, and then he fell in love with her and started to understand her.

Lin Qiao could sense how his feelings toward her changed. But, she couldn’t be like him. After all, not everyone would fall in love with the person who loved him or her. They were just strangers at the beginning.

She knew that ever since Teng was born, Wu Chengyue had been seeing that little boy as a very important part of his life, and that he really cared for her too. If she weren’t as strong as he was already, her feelings for him might be more like gratitude.

The harm she suffered before made her seal herself up. She no longer expected a relationship, but cared only about her family. But to her surprise, Wu Chengyue pursued her so persistently. Thankfully, he wasn’t doing that in a sick way. After knowing him for such a long time, learning what kind of a man he was, and how he really felt about her, she couldn’t say that she still had no feelings for him. She just didn’t have the courage to invest too much hope in him.

Therefore, letting him stay in her place and sleep on her bed was the biggest concession she could make at the moment. She could not offer him anything more than that.

“Alright. I promise I won’t do anything else. Is that okay?” The best he could do was to hold her like holding a teddy bear to comfort himself. That part of his body would have to suffer some discomfort though.

Wu Chengyue said to her smilingly, with his face twitching slightly. He was also crying on the inside, not sure if he were happy or unhappy. He was allowed to hold the woman he loved in his arms without doing anything else but purely sleeping. Well, any man would understand that faint kind of sadness.

Lin Qiao seemed to have sensed his feelings. She turned and gave him a glance, and he immediately responded to her with a grin. His strong vibe was completely gone.

Lin Qiao sorted the files on the tea table, then stood up and turned off the light in the living room before going into the bedroom.

She went straight onto the bed and lay down, then took out a level-eight energy nucleus from her space and held it in her hand. After giving Wu Chengyue another glance, she closed her eyes and started to absorb the energy.

She let him stay by her side while she was absorbing the energy, meaning that she trusted him hugely! Normally, people would find a quiet place to hide to absorb energy, so they wouldn’t be disturbed. Hopefully, the man would be content with what he had.

Wu Chengyue walked in. Finding that she was really absorbing energy as she had said, he sighed in his head. However, he did understand that letting him lie by her side while she was absorbing energy meant that she trusted him more than before now.

He pulled up the blanket that covered her, then sat on the bed and turned off the light. After lying down, he did nothing but quietly looked at the ceiling as her aroma filled up his nose.

The aroma wasn’t as faint as before when he slept on that bed alone; it was fresh this time.

He felt a strong stream of power flow into her body through her palm, travel through her entire body, and then flow into her heart. In her heart, the energy was purified, and then sent into her brain.

It was not like how human beings absorbed energies. When a human absorbed energy, the energy wouldn’t linger in his or her heart. Instead, it would go through all the internal organs and then flow into the brain.

Wu Chengyue didn’t fall sleep, but quietly felt the energy flowing inside Lin Qiao’s body, and also observed the change of her vibe.

When her absorption of energy reached a stable state, he quietly moved his hand and held her hand that was near him. Lin Qiao was holding the nucleus with the other hand, so he managed to touch her free hand. Slowly, he put his hand into hers.

Her hand was still cold. Her body was only slightly warmer than a corpse.

His movement was very gentle and slow, so the zombie lady didn’t react to it. However, before he could carefully feel her skin. a stream of power suddenly flowed out of her palm and into his. That was exactly the energy that she was absorbing.

‘Eh? What’s happening?’

He only wanted to hold her hand, not share the energy that she was absorbing…

What should he do? Should he let go of her hand? He had never heard about two people absorbing energy together. Would she be affected if he let go? Would that cause a sudden energy disorder? But, if he didn’t let go, would she open her eyes and glare at him very fiercely in a few minutes?

That was awkward.

Wu Chengyue didn’t move his hand. He was so unprepared for what was happening! He was hesitating. Should he let go or not? Normally, a superpowered person wouldn’t react to anyone or anything else while he or she was absorbing energy, unless something was affecting that person strongly. It was like that back in the ancient times when the martial artists practiced their inner power, a gentle movement made by the others wouldn’t affect them. Superpowered human beings should be the same. Was she different? Was it because she was a zombie?

Right at that moment, Wu Chengyue felt that Lin Qiao suddenly clenched her fingers and held his hand tightly. He gave a start and turned to look at her. But in the darkness, her facial expression didn’t seem to have changed at all.
