The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Die

Chapter 18

Yu Ze's lips twitched, unable to answer.

Long Yuan changed the question, "Is it because of your family history?"

Yu Ze shook his head.

Long Yuan rubbed the top of his hair again, "That's fine, I can't say anything bad about you in the future, you're too good. Don't doubt my vision!" He trailed off, "Do you hear me?"

Yu Ze nodded his head.

Long Yuan smiled, "Good boy," he changed the subject, "you just walked very steadily. Want to try walking again?"

"Okay." Yu Ze gathered his emotions and continued to practice walking. Yu Ze continued to practice controlling his wings in the afternoon, and by dinner time, he was able to retract his wings. He touched the butterfly bone with his backhand, and without his wings, he was a bit uncomfortable.

Long Yuan said, "Go take a shower and we'll go to the cafeteria to eat together later."

Yu Ze took a change of clothes to the bathroom. Long Yuan went back to his room and got an empty glass jar, then went to Yu Ze's room and carefully picked up all the feathers that had fallen to the floor. He held the glass jar in his hand and looked at the feathers inside with fascination, stroking his fingers along the wall of the jar. It was so beautiful.

He was in a trance for a moment, thinking of the touch of his fingertips when he touched those wings. He was so eager to do it again!

"You..." Yu Ze had just finished his shower. His hair was still slightly wet as he stood in the doorway, looking at the jar of feathers in Long Yuan's hands, inexplicably feeling extra shy.

Long Yuan's gaze fell on him and the color of his eyes deepened, showing a flash of dark gold.

The young man's fair skin, dyed red hair and red eyelashes, looked more and more conspicuous. It was like a glance into the past, like a red plum on the snow, cold and brilliant. This contrast was extraordinarily confusing.

Long Yuan came closer and his fingers fell uncontrollably on Yu Ze's forehead, ruffling the dark hair that was wet and stuck to it.

The warmth on his forehead flashed, and Yu Ze took a step back, only to feel a vague numbness there, "I washed up, now are we going to the canteen?"

Long Yuan regretted it for a moment. Why did he propose to go to the canteen to eat? He didn't want people to see such a good-looking Yu Ze at all! But thinking that Yu Ze had only bestialized and needed to eat more meat, and the canteen had a wide variety of dishes and was hot, he could only press that little selfishness down.

"Mn, wait for me." He took a step outside and turned back to pull Yu Ze's wrist, "You're in the wrong room."

Yu Ze was pulled to the opposite room, then he remembered that Long Yuan said his room was not safe and he wanted them to share a room. Long Yuan put the glass jar with the feathers on the bedside table — a spot he could see as soon as he turned his head.

"Let's go." He put his hand on Yu Ze's shoulder and they went out together.

"Wow! Big beauty!"

"Oh my God, so beautiful."

As soon as they left the dormitory building, they met some students who were going back to their dormitories, and when they saw Yu Ze, they couldn't move their eyes.

Long Yuan raised his eyes and looked over with a warning in his gaze, and the hand that was originally on Yu Ze's shoulder changed to encircle his shoulder with obvious possessiveness. The students who were stunned returned to their senses and moved their gazes away.
