Chapter 87: President Yan, sometimes you really are quite…

“If it were you, and you knew I was in that S-class rift, could you really remain unmoved? Besides—” Lin Xi’s tone dragged on slightly, ending the invisible confrontation with his words. “Yan Xingzhou, to be honest, don’t you look even more dangerous than me right now?”

He gently curved his lips, but the smile in his eyes was full of indecipherable emotions: “I can already feel your uncontrollable… desire… President Yan, from the time in the rift until now, the one who’s been desperately trying to restrain themselves shouldn’t be just me, right?”

As his voice fell, all his actions became completely undisguised.

Yan Xingzhou finally couldn’t help but let out a low groan under such explicit actions.

In terms of mental stability, he never intended to hide it, nor did he think he could hide it from Lin Xi. Years of indulgence in the dream world had brought his tense state to an extreme, which was already precarious. And the stronger the contamination radiation, the more it acted as a potent poison that instinctively induced a loss of control in ability users. Just as Lin Xi said, the state of the two of them was indeed quite similar. All along, under their seemingly calm exteriors, many things were already stirring restlessly, ready to break out at any moment.

“Damn it, so be it.” It was rare for a decent person like Yan Xingzhou to curse under his breath. In an instant, a vigorous scene unfolded in the not-so-large isolation room, enveloping everything in the room in a completely independent, enclosed space in the blink of an eye.

A domain that belonged completely to him alone.

As long as the owner did not permit it, no one could step in from the outside.

All the tenderness and affection instantly turned into a majestic storm. Once the calm exterior was completely torn apart, the wildly clamoring ability fluctuations that Yan Xingzhou had been trying to control within his body finally became completely irrepressible. As it completely erupted, it instantly enveloped Lin Xi entirely.

Like greed for a type of food, and also like a declaration of ownership.

Yan Xingzhou was a person who could always handle any problem methodically and with the most reasonable attitude. Even Lin Xi could hardly recall a moment when he had exposed a mistake. It was precisely such a person, calm and rational to the extreme, who, when his fanaticism could no longer be suppressed, often showed an extreme rebound from the bottom.

But this possessiveness at this moment was something Lin Xi greatly enjoyed.

He buried his head deep into the crook of Yan Xingzhou’s neck, his sharp teeth gently rubbing against the flesh of his neck. The ability fluctuations surrounding him seemed to carry some kind of signal, guiding him, bit by bit, to the verge of the highest point.

Their increasingly rapid breaths became deeply intertwined. After they completely stopped concealing it, the intense ability fluctuations intertwined with the continuously overflowing contamination radiation. If it weren’t for the independent domain created by Yan Xingzhou’s materialized barrier, the detection alarms in the isolation room would have probably been enough to resound throughout the entire area long ago.

Continuously merging, they were like hunters, and also like prey belonging only to each other, actively, frequently, willingly degenerating, and completely indulging themselves.

Lin Xi’s intermittent tone was no longer steady: “You say… if Pu Limo knew… we were doing… ugh, this kind of thing right under his nose… what kind of mood would he be in?”

In the heat of passion, Yan Xingzhou’s shoulder was bitten fiercely by Lin Xi. He let out a pained grunt, and with a backhand, he encircled the man and changed their position, saying in a hoarse voice: “I don’t know. But I know that during this kind of thing, I don’t wish for you to have the leisure to think of other men.”

Lin Xi wanted to say something more, but was forced to choke amidst a sudden, violent movement. He managed to tilt his head back and let out a suppressed sigh.

Under the fierce and regular rhythm, his breathing became even more intermittent. The slightly raised neck presented an arc of extreme beauty, and the thin layer of sweat vaguely covering it pulled all the tension to the extreme.

At one point, it was hard to bear. He tightly wrapped his arms around Yan Xingzhou’s neck, kissing his temples with each movement, and couldn’t help but curse inwardly that a beast in gentleman’s clothing was indeed even less human when he became a beast.

However, Yan Xingzhou’s movements did not restrain themselves at all, but instead became even more intense.

Whether it was the physical compatibility or the strong temptation brought by the ability fluctuations, under the feeling of suffocation from lack of oxygen, the smile on Lin Xi’s face became more and more distinct. His already damp hair carried a strong, suppressed sense of madness. Such an expression fell into Yan Xingzhou’s eyes. The moment their eyes met, it was as if a current shot up, making him lift Lin Xi forward and press him forcefully onto the bed.

Both of them were almost pushed to the brink by the powerful stimulation. The sound of heavy breathing filled every corner of the enclosed space.

At the limit, the knuckles of his tightly clenched fingers revealed the pale bone beneath. The ability fluctuations and contamination radiation, like a howling gale, swept and completely entangled together. In this domain where nothing could dissipate, as the concentration instantly multiplied several times, it finally completely erupted.

Almost as if trying to crush each other, they pressed themselves into each other’s arms, hoarse gasps squeezed from their throats in unison.

Completely falling into a world that seemed to be only a sheet of white light, in that instant, Lin Xi, completely drained of strength, buried himself in Yan Xingzhou’s embrace and bit him on the jaw: “I never noticed you were so paranoid before. Since when did even Pu Limo’s name become your reverse scale?”

Yan Xingzhou wrapped an arm around Lin Xi, not annoyed despite the pain. Feeling the lingering, entangled aura of the two of them, he said slowly: “It can’t be considered a reverse scale. After all, strictly speaking, as long as he doesn’t appear at an inopportune time, I personally don’t have much prejudice against Director Pu Limo.”

Vaguely sensing something, Lin Xi’s lazily drooping eyelids lifted slightly.

As expected, a moment later, he heard Yan Xingzhou continue slowly: “Compared to him, I am more interested in Su Qiuyin.”

Lin Xi: “…”

Yan Xingzhou’s hand on Lin Xi’s waist tightened slightly. He pulled him in forcefully, making their gazes meet directly: “Great Executive Officer Lin, I didn’t know since when Su Qiuyin has become so loyal to you that he would rather bear such immense pressure and take such a huge blame to cover for you? Director Su, who has always been principled, as far as I know, this should be the first time he has violated his own principles, right?”

Their eyes met. Lin Xi narrowed his eyes slightly: “The smell of vinegar is a bit strong, President Yan.”

Yan Xingzhou was noncommittal.

“…”

Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, “If I said I don’t think Su Qiuyin is loyal to me, would you believe it?”

Yan Xingzhou: “I believe you.”

Lin Xi was a little surprised by Yan Xingzhou’s direct answer. Then, the next second, he heard the man continue: “That’s why I think, excluding the facade of loyalty, he has other intentions towards you.”

Lin Xi: “.”

A few seconds later, he averted his gaze: “After we get out of here this time, we’ll see how to arrange things next.”

Yan Xingzhou did not expose this abrupt change of topic, but just smiled silently.

Actually, if Su Qiuyin hadn’t suddenly made a move, he would have definitely dealt with Joseph before Lin Xi did. He would also have most likely, in order to eliminate any potential threats, left Su Qiuyin in the rift forever. Even if that meant he was destined to face the global ability tribunal after leaving the rift and have all the blame pointed at himself, it was still much better than letting others discover Lin Xi’s existence.

However, to be fair, the current situation was undoubtedly much better than the initial plan. After all, losing only one X-coded ability user from Country A was always easier to explain than having the director of the United Administration also perish in the rift. If it had been anyone else who stepped up to solve their predicament, he might have been willing to say thank you quite frankly.

However, it just had to be Su Qiuyin.

All the data collected from the on-site personnel over the years confirmed that it was precisely his sneak attack with his sonic ability at the encirclement site that caused Lin Xi’s momentary weakness, which became the key opportunity for the completion of the encirclement.

Yan Xingzhou lowered his eyes.

This man had killed Lin Xi once.

Although he was willing to cooperate with Lin Xi and believe Su Qiuyin this one time for now, if he ever discovered any signs of danger in the future, he wouldn’t mind choosing to act at the first opportunity.

Not just Su Qiuyin.

Everyone was the same.
