Chapter 101: No Means No

Jiang Xianchuan had been away from home for days, which quickly aroused Li Lingyu’s deep suspicion.

These days, whenever he rushed to the laboratory full of worry, hoping to see Jiang Xianchuan with his own eyes, he was always ruthlessly blocked by Lin Pianyue.

Each time, Lin Pianyue would flatly refuse Li Lingyu’s request, citing that Jiang Xianchuan was too busy with work and simply couldn’t spare the time.

However, today Li Lingyu remained persistent and came to the familiar laboratory door again. Seeing Lin Pianyue, he pleaded, “Sister Pianyue, please, just tell Chuan Chuan to come out and see me. It really won’t take long.”

Faced with Li Lingyu’s expectant gaze, Lin Pianyue couldn’t help but look embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head and replied, “Chuan Chuan is indeed extremely busy. This experiment is crucial and can’t be delayed at all…”

Hearing this, Li Lingyu felt somewhat disappointed, but still nodded gently to show his understanding. Then, he said firmly, “Okay, in that case, I’ll just wait for him here.”

Seeing Li Lingyu’s persistence, Lin Pianyue knew that it was useless to say more, so she turned and walked into the laboratory. The moment she stepped inside, the sight before her made her gasp—Jiang Xianchuan’s body was covered in dense tooth marks, a shocking sight to behold. Jiang Xianchuan’s face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color; even more bizarrely, the pupil of his left eye had turned red.

Looking at the disheveled Jiang Xianchuan, Lin Pianyue felt distressed and said softly, “Brother, Lingyu wants to see you.”

But at this moment, Jiang Xianchuan was too weak to even speak. He just shook his head weakly and murmured in an almost pleading tone, “How can I see him looking like this? Please, Sister, quickly think of a way to get rid of him…”

“Okay, I’ll try.” After Lin Pianyue turned and left, Jiang Xianchuan lowered his head slightly, holding a pen in his hand, and continued to carefully record every physical reaction after being infected in his notebook. Little Zombie stood quietly aside, with deep concern in his eyes.

“Brother, what if you can never turn back into a human?” Little Zombie finally couldn’t help but ask, his voice trembling slightly.

Jiang Xianchuan stopped his movements, raised his head to look at Little Zombie, and said slowly after a moment of silence, “If there really is such a day, then kill me. Or, if it can help the research, you can also use me for live experiments.” His tone was frighteningly calm, but his firm gaze revealed that he had already made the worst possible plan in his heart.

Just then, a burst of noisy sounds suddenly came from outside. Then, they heard Lin Pianyue’s anxious cry, “Hey! Brother Lingyu, you can’t go in! It’s not safe inside!” However, her obstruction did not seem to work. Before long, a figure rushed in hurriedly. It was Li Lingyu.

When Li Lingyu saw the scene inside the room and Jiang Xianchuan’s appearance at this moment, he was stunned. His eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief, as if he simply couldn’t accept that the gaunt-faced person with a strange aura was the lover he had been thinking about day and night.

“Sorry, Brother… I didn’t stop him…” Lin Pianyue ran in after him, looking at Jiang Xianchuan with a look of guilt.

Jiang Xianchuan shook his head lightly, indicating that he didn’t mind, and then said to her gently, “It’s okay, Sister Pianyue, take Little Zombie out first. I’ll chat with him alone for a while.”

“Okay…” Lin Pianyue hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, took Little Zombie out of the room, and gently closed the door behind her. The room suddenly fell into silence, leaving only Jiang Xianchuan and Li Lingyu standing face to face, the atmosphere particularly heavy and oppressive.

Li Lingyu walked a few steps to Jiang Xianchuan, and reached out to touch Jiang Xianchuan’s face, but it was not warm at all. Then he saw the tooth marks all over Jiang Xianchuan’s hands, and for a moment, he could not say anything.

Li Lingyu’s lips trembled, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, “How did you become like this?” Jiang Xianchuan forced a smile, “This is all my own choice, to find a way to solve the zombie virus.” After listening to this, Li Lingyu felt both angry and sad in his heart. He clenched his fists, “Why didn’t you take my feelings into account and bear all of this alone?”

Jiang Xianchuan held Li Lingyu’s hand and said softly, “I didn’t want you to worry.” Li Lingyu Skip his hand, “We agreed to face all the difficulties together. Do you know how uneasy I have been for several days since I haven’t seen you!” Jiang Xianchuan’s eyes flashed a trace of helplessness, “This time is different, if the research is successful, the whole world will be saved.”

Li Lingyu’s eyes were red, “But I only care about you, I don’t care whether the world is saved or not!” Jiang Xianchuan sighed and embraced him, “Sorry, I made you worry, but this is something that someone has to do.”

“What are you going to do now?” Li Lingyu lowered his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xianchuan, and his eyes showed concern and worry.

At this time, Jiang Xianchuan paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words in his mind, and then slowly said, “Sister Pianyue has successfully extracted a small part of antibiotics from my serum. I was thinking, if I deliberately aggravate my own infection and then inject these antibiotics into my body, can it produce an effective therapeutic effect?”

Hearing this, Li Lingyu blurted out without hesitation, “Then let me help you too.” However, he never expected that Jiang Xianchuan would refuse almost without thinking, “No.”

This sudden rejection made Li Lingyu feel very surprised, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Why?” Jiang Xianchuan responded with a solemn expression, “Because I don’t want to see you in danger.”

When he heard Jiang Xianchuan give such an answer, Li Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and then couldn’t help but laugh out loud in anger, “You don’t want me to take risks, so you are willing to use your body as an experimental product? Jiang Xianchuan, what are you thinking? If you are really unlucky enough to become a zombie, what should I do? Do you want me to personally kill the person I love the most? I can’t do it! If that’s the case, the only thing I can do is to imprison you firmly and spend my whole life raising you, but in that case, the person who is imprisoned is no longer the real you, I really can’t accept such a result, please, can you take my feelings into account? Without you, I can’t live!”

Listening to Li Lingyu’s heartfelt words, Jiang Xianchuan’s heart could not help but ripple, he looked at the person in front of him with tears on his face and almost out of control, however, although his heart was touched, Jiang Xianchuan knew that he could not be so selfish, and could not drag Li Lingyu into this endless abyss.

“No means no, if I really become a zombie, then please forget me.” Jiang Xianchuan endured the pain in his heart and said this with difficulty. He dared not look directly at Li Lingyu’s eyes full of despair and sadness, for fear that he would soften at this moment.

Hearing Jiang Xianchuan’s resolute words, Li Lingyu could no longer restrain his emotions, and tears poured out like a flood. “Forget you? You actually told me to forget you? But you tell me, how can I forget? You were the one who invited me home, you were the one who called me baby, and you were the one who said I was your family! In that case, why are you so cruel to abandon me? Why are you so cruelly treating me?” Li Lingyu questioned in a hoarse voice, every word was like a sharp blade, deeply piercing Jiang Xianchuan’s heart.

Faced with Li Lingyu’s questioning, Jiang Xianchuan was speechless, how could he not want to accompany Li Lingyu forever, guarding this hard-won friendship.

But reality is so cruel, he is out of his control, and he can’t control his destiny at all. At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan only felt confused and his mind was in a mess.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xianchuan slowly raised his head, looking at the distance with empty eyes, and said softly, “Well, go back… We, let’s not meet again.” Before the words fell, he turned and left, leaving Li Lingyu standing alone in place, letting tears flow freely.
