Little Yuan...

A deep and gentle rasp sounds close to his ear, calling him softly.

(Translator's notes: Snipped...)

Remarkable...you are really too remarkable that I can't resist the desire to eat you...

A flash of sharp teeth and a malicious smirk. In a split-second, the figure crosses the distance between them, eyes flaring scarlet as a tongue flicks out to run over his lips.

"Ahh – !!"

A frightened shriek rings out, eyes abruptly snapping wide open as Huo Zaiyuan jerks up into a sitting position on the bed, panting.

Warm morning sunlight shines in through the window, brightening the entire bedroom. After a long moment, his thundering heart eventually calms. Frowning, Huo Zaiyuan lifts a hand to his lightly aching head as he recalls what transpired in that strange dream with a black face.

Damn it! Just what kind of messed up nightmare was that ah...

He actually dreamt about being chased by Long Zhanye and...no, no. That's not right. That definitely wasn't Zhanye and him. That malicious smirk...who exactly did he dream about?

Thoughts in chaos, Huo Zaiyuan honestly cannot make sense of what he saw.

Shoving the blanket away and getting off the bed, his gaze falls on the bedside table and a smile surfaces. For the past few days, he always wakes up to this scene. A glass of cold water on the bedside table with a piece of paper below.

Picking up the paper, he reads the bold cursive characters written on it: I'm also busy today. Be good and eat your meals. Not allowed to have only vegetables. If you are bored, take a stroll outside. Love you! Zhanye.

It has been three days since they arrived at A base, and every day, Long Zhanye is busy with his work, daily matters leaving him exhausted at the end of the day. Early in the morning, before Huo Zaiyuan wakes up, Long Zhanye is already working, returning only around midnight when he is asleep or meditating. Thus, in these three days, he rarely sees Long Zhanye around. This habit of leaving notes on slips of paper also began from day one. Three days...three notes.

Paper in hand, Huo Zaiyuan bites his lower lip in thought.

It wouldn't be because he's been missing Zhanye these past days that he dreamt such a strange thing, right?

How about going out to see him...just from a distance will do.

The paper in his hand disappears in a flash of silver and Huo Zaiyuan grabs a clean set of clothes before heading to the bathroom. Eating a bowl of vegetable soup for breakfast, Huo Zaiyuan leaves the unit.

Two days ago, under Grandfather Long's arrangement, Li Qing was hauled away by the technicians in the mechanic department. And Qin Jun with his medical expertise was sent to work in the safe zone's hospital. Because the Elder Taoist priest returned to B City, Huo Zaiyuan is left all alone with nothing to do.

Hiding in the house for three days, he only meditated besides eating and sleeping. Today he decides to go out and enjoy that warm sunshine. All things considered, this world is still pretty nice.

The safe zone is divided into two districts, the inner one being the original military base. The outer district is the extended portion that was later established when more space was needed. As for the large gates separating the two regions, it is always left open so everyone can freely traverse through the entire zone. Naturally, there are still areas restricted to ordinary citizens, one of which is the central command centre of the military base.
