Chapter 158: Unusual zombie activity

Strong fingers rub the purplish-blue bruise forcefully, inciting a low moan of pain.

"Is it too painful?" Long Zhanye asks even as his hand movement doesn't pause.

"Un, a little less strength." Huo Zaiyuan nods, hands clenching tighter around the shirt bunched up at his chest, fighting off the urge to groan again. It's no ordinary pain ah.

"If we don't massage it away, it will be troublesome," Long Zhanye whispers, brushing his lips across Huo Zaiyuan's pinched ones.

"Zhanye..." The tender, light kiss conveys all of the other man's concern and care, touching the bottom of his heart and making him blush.

"I'm here."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, calloused fingers caress that peacefully sleeping face, a fond smile plays on Long Zhnaye's lips.

"Although we didn't go all the way, but..." You are so exhausted already. Really can't wait for the day the two of us officially bond in heart, mind, body and soul.

Leaning back into the soft, high-back office chair, Long Zhanye props his legs up on the desk, legs crossed at the ankles as he thumbs through some documents, a pen held between two fingers. Signing his name at the bottom right corner of the paper, he passes the file over to Zuo Hanyang standing next to him.

"Boss, you seem to be in a very good mood today." Zuo Hanyang has always been an inquisitive fellow. Seeing Long Zhanye humming under his breath as he signs documents, it is hard to avoid inciting his curiosity.

Taking another file from Zuo Hanyang, Long Zhanye twirls his pen as his eyes scan the words on the paper. After a brief silence, he drawls, "When was I ever in a bad mood?"

"Eh..." Using a file to block his mouth, Zuo Hanyang's face is filled with black lines.

He's done for. It seems like he somehow stuck his foot in his mouth again.

"Boss, this one is a report from a mercenary squad currently outside the safe zone. It seems they discovered an oddity with the zombies." You Nuandong strides into the office, placing an open folder in front of Long Zhanye.

"An oddity? Let me see..." Long Zhanye's attention shifts instantly.

Seeing that his Boss is not going to tear him a new one, Zuo Hanyang inwardly sighs in relief and gratefulness. Gaze settling on You Nuandong, who is in the middle of discussing with Long Zhanye, a grin breaks out onto his face, still half concealed by the folder.

As expected, the right adjutant is someone who upholds justice, saving him from a bad end.

"Oi, what are you giggling about? Take the file."

"Yes, Sir."

Once Long Zhanye finishes signing the documents, the two adjutants leave the office. Hugging a stack of folders to his chest, You Nuandong suddenly feels something pushing him back. Stopping in his tracks, he peers over the top of the files only to see a pair of smiling eyes.

"Right adjutant, thank you. Luckily you came in just in time to draw his attention away, or else I would be dead."

Staring silently at Zuo Hanyang's beaming face, You Nuandong's brow furrows lightly before he turns and walks away.

"Oi, why are you walking away?!" Hurriedly jogging to catch up, he mumbles, "Ah, I know, you are embarrassed!"

When Long Zhanye steps out the door of his office, he is just in time to witness his two adjutants disappear down the stairs, one walking away and the other following behind. A faint smirk appears as he shakes his head in exasperation.
