When Yan Bin carried the youth back, the youth had not said a word. He was quiet, his eyelids slightly drooping, huddling up while closing his eyes and not moving at all; completely different compared to that day when he viciously splashed water all over his face.
Yan Bin looked at him and felt his heart tighten.
“Big Brother, where are we going now?”
Thinking of the cold-blooded Zuo Sheng, Yan Bin said in a low voice: “Now I’ll bring people back to the North District, then immediately contact a doctor.” If Zuo Sheng did not want this person, he wants him.
“Xiao Ze there’s no need to be scared, I’ll protect you.”
【Ding! Affection scale +10, current affection degree 70!】
【001: Great Host! The male lead is currently finding you! His blackening value dropped by 50 so suddenly!】
【Lu Yue: This is very normal, next I’ll wait for him to find me.】
The original plan was for Zuo Sheng’s men to save himself, but Yan Bin had saved him. But no worries, let Zuo Sheng panic for a few days before saying anything, who knows, the end result may be even better.
Confirming his idea, Lu Yue was very relaxed when being taken back to the North District by Yan Bin.
When Yan Bin called for a doctor, Lu Yue hurriedly asked 001: 【Hurry and adjust my body data, make me look a little more miserable. 】
【001: Alrightie! Adjustment of body data successful! 】
“What is his condition?” Yan Bin stood at the side and asked.
The doctor replied: “The wound on his face is rather serious and would need a few days to heal. Also, the patient’s mental state now is not good, he’s overly sad, perhaps he suffered a huge stimulation, but don’t worry, just talking it out with someone would be fine.”
Sternly, Yan Bin questioned: “Then why did he faint?”
“It should be because he is overly exhausted and adding on that he did not eat anything so fainting is normal. I’ve already injected him with a little bit of nourishment fluid, wait for him to wake up and eat a little and it will be fine.
“Alright, send off the doctor.” Yan Bin told the several men in black behind him.
“Yes, Boss.”
After the doctor left, another man told Yan Bin: “Boss, I heard the people on Zuo Sheng’s side are finding this person, should we send him over.“
“No need.”
“But in a few days, he will be able find us.”
“Then we shall talk when the time comes, you should leave first.”
“Yes.”
Yan Bin looked at the person on the sickbed, he was so pale, so thin, it would anyone feel distressed and take pity on him. That wretched Xu Shao, he actually dared to let his men make a move on Xiao Ze! Plus, that Zuo Sheng, wasn’t he coming, why would he send Lin Ze out as a bait?
Could it be that from the start this was a facade planned to confuse Xu Shao?
Alright, since you, Zuo Sheng doesn’t love him, then I, Yan Bin will love him instead.
When Lu Yue heard the affection scale rise again, he finally couldn’t resist the tug of the corner of his mouth.
【Lu Yue: When is Zuo Sheng able to find me?】
【001: A conservative estimate would be tomorrow.】
【Lu Yue: So that would mean I will still need to stay with this guy for one night?】
【001: Yep!】
【Lu Yue: I miss my man……】
【001: Host be good, there’s still me by your side.】
Lu Yue felt that 001 should not try raising people’s spirits.
In the evening, to refrain Yan Bin from thinking that he was lying dead, Lu Yue finally opened his eyes.
“You’re awake?” Yan Bin just entered and saw the youth on the bed had opened his eyes, his heart finally felt a little at ease.
Lu Yue saw Yan Bin looking shocked: “How are you here?”
Yan Bin gave a bitter laugh: “I was the one that saved you, did you forget?”
Lu Yue had just recalled, he was kidnapped by Xu Shao, at the end it indeed was Yan Bin that saved him.
“Thank you.”
“No worries.” Yan Bin saw his dry and chapped lips and passed a cup of water to him: “Drink first, I let someone grab some food.”
“The person that kidnapped me, in the end did he get caught?” Lu Yue asked carefully while taking small sips of the water.
Yan Bin saw a flicker in his eyes and replied: “Of course he was caught, don’t worry, Zuo Sheng will not let him off.”
Lu Yue’s gaze dimmed, it really was arranged by Zuo Sheng.
Yan Bin saw Lu Yue’s inwardly dispirited look and felt anger bubble in his abdomen: “Are you still thinking of Zuo Sheng?
Lowly, Lu Yue replied: “No.”
The youth obviously didn’t know how to lie, his hands clutching the bed sheets, gaze unconsciously darting to look outside.
“Then do you still love him now?” Yan Bin questioned intensely.
Lu Yue retorted: “This does not concern you.” The youth’s tone was rather cold, it was completely a tone used when talking to strangers.
Yan Bin was angered till he laughed: “I was the one that saved you, is this how you’re going to talk to me?”
Lu Yue stubbornly looked at him: “I didn’t let you save me.” Lu Yue didn’t want to speak to Yan Bin in such a tone as well, but he just could not control himself, it was as if his heart had a mythical animal that could shoot flames, as if it could erupt at any moment.
He knew he was wrong, but he didn’t know how to control his mood. Once he thought of the man that he deeply loved abandoning him, he just wanted to carelessly vent his feelings. He wanted to cry, but he could not cry in front of Yan Bin.
After some time, Lu Yue said: “I’m sorry, I want some silence alone.”
Yan Bin saw the youth’s appearance, and thought of how the doctor had entrusted him with taking care of the youth and relaxed his tone: “You should rest well, I’ll go settle some stuff.”
Zuo Sheng had received news of Lu Yue on the morning of the second day.
“Where did you say he was?”
Zhao Xun replied: “This subordinate said that there were people saying they saw Young Master Lin being taken away by Yan Bin.”
“Yan Bin?” Zuo Sheng’s eyes contained hidden anger, “follow me now, bring people along.”
Quickly, Zuo Sheng arrived at where Lu Yue was at, he never expected Yan Bin would hide Lu Yue here. Thinking of the incident at Zuo Residence, Zuo Sheng became exceptionally angry.
If Yan Bin had dared to do anything, he would not care for their former friendship.
The main door was kicked open suddenly, Yan Bin looked at the oppressive man walking in front, smiled and said: “Brother Zuo, why did you come?”
Zuo Sheng faced him, his gaze cold: “I am here to bring him back.”
Although he did not want to set himself against Zuo Sheng, Yan Bin could not help but ask: “He is here, but didn’t you treat him as a bait? If it wasn’t for me saving him in time yesterday, Xiao Ze would have already died!”
When Zuo Sheng heard that sentence his pupil shrunk, but his face turned even colder: “I know.”
Yan Bin rebuked: “You know? You know and you still did this? Since you don’t care about his life, then why not give him to me! At least I will not send him to his death!”
Zuo Sheng looked at the emotional Yan Bin and replied: “He is mine, I will never give him to you. In addition, I do care about him.”
Zuo Sheng did not want to continue conversing with him, the youth that longs for him is still inside, he was just itching to see him.
【001: Host, host, your man is already at the door! 】
Lu Yue who has been lying dead for the whole day flipped his body, 【His speed is rather fast! Right, hurry and make me look a little pathetic, the more pathetic the better, make the palm print on my face a little clearer. 】
【001: It’s done, Great Host!】
When Zuo Sheng pushed open the door and saw the person lying on the bed, his heart suddenly started to hurt again.
【Ding! Blackening value -5, remaining blackening value 10!】
Currently, Lu Yue was leaning on the pillow with his eyes closed, the sunlight from the outside illuminated his face, his swollen cheeks were still bruised, it was completely imaginable how fiercely he was slapped.
Zuo Sheng’s eyes flashed with a little anger, but he saw the sudden tremble of the youth’s eyelash, it seemed like he was about to awaken.
Zuo Sheng’s breath tightened, his heartbeat unnaturally sped up, he stared closely at the other party’s actions until he saw those hazy limpid eyes.
Lu Yue had first started to focus on what’s in front of his eyes, when he saw the man standing next to his bed against the light, his eyes violently trembled.
Is this…… Master Zuo?
There’s no way, why would Master Zuo be here, it must be because his eyesight had deteriorated.
The image of the youth who smiled bitterly while hanging his head had pricked Zuo Sheng’s heart, he softly walked over and crouched in front of the youth, staring at his shocked eyes.
“Master…… Master Zuo? Why would you……”
Zuo Sheng smiled gently: “You were lost, of course I am here to find you.”
His hot breaths were exhaled next to his ear, shocking the youth till he repeatedly retreated back: “I…… I don’t want to go back.”
Zuo Sheng halted his smile and asked him fixedly: “Oh, and why is that so?”
The man had asked him in this manner, Lu Yue truly did not know how to answer, he really wanted to ask Zuo Sheng why didn’t he save him? Did Zuo Sheng really regard him as a bait? Does Zuo Sheng even love him?
But he doesn’t dare to ask.
Zuo Sheng didn’t tolerate Lu Yue evading him and stared fixedly at his eyes: “Do you hate me?” Of course, Zuo Sheng knew the youth wouldn’t hate him, the reason why he had asked the question was to let him speak his mind, to not suppress his sadness in his abdomen.
Hate him?
Of course he does not hate, he just felt very hurt and wronged.
Zuo Sheng’s voice was low, as if he was gently coaxing him, letting Lu Yue feel like throwing himself into Zuo Sheng’s arms and cry loudly.
In fact, Lu Yue had been holding back the redness of his eyes.
Zuo Sheng slowly sad: “Before you left yesterday, I had placed a taping device on you. I already knew about Xu Shao’s plans.”
Lu Yue heard the man’s sudden words and was temporarily stunned, not knowing how to react. He looked dazedly at Zuo Sheng, as if silently denouncing him, asking him why did he do that.
Zuo Sheng kissed his cheek and continued on: “I wanted to test you, to check if you really love me, so I didn’t let my men come and save you in time, but that wasn’t making you the bait. I’ve caused you harm, I’m sorry.”
Saying that, he kissed the corner of Lu Yue’s mouth, but this time he tasted the salty tears. Looking at Lu Yue, he had already pulled on Zuo Sheng’s lapel and cried till he started to tremble.
“Master…… Master Zuo, I…… I thought you didn’t want me anymore; I was so scared……”
Lu Yue’s crying had made him look very grieved, Zuo Sheng’s heart had also felt like it was being pulled out, his regret was even more intense.
“Don’t cry, I will never not want you.”
Lu Yue heard up till here and wormed into Zuo Sheng’s chest, his two arms tightly hugging the man’s waist, “Master Zuo……”
That call “Master Zuo”, made Zuo Sheng feel his body heating up. He patted the head of the youth in his arms, warmly saying: “Let’s go.”

The author wants to say:
There’s hope for a new chapter tonight. Hurry comment and save (the book). The days of lying as a corpse were really hard…… Cries for mercy \n<hr class="wp-block-separator">\nTranslator’s Notes:
[1] Alrightie – 好哒 this is a rather cute way to say alright, something like okie!
[2] overly sad – 伤心过度 translates to overly broken hearted but I’m sure the doctor wouldn’t be able to prescribe that…
[3] boss – 大哥 translates to big brother, or in mafia terms boss, thought I should point that out.
[4] . – Raws used a full stop but the subordinate was asking a question.
[5] wasn’t he coming – 不是他的人来着吗 hmm I don’t really understand this sentence, not sure if he was referring to Zuo Sheng himself or his men that were at the scene.
[6] conservative – 保守 hmm this translation seems a little weird but I have no other ways to translate this phrase, it translates to guard or keep.
[7] Yep – 是滴 this is another cute way to say yes, something like yessu!
[8] should not try raising people’s <b>spirits</b> – 撩起人来也是不要不要的 to be honest I’m just really confused at what this sentence is trying to say and so is MTL
[9] No worries – 不客气 translates to you’re welcome but I thought that’s really formal for Yan Bin so no worries is less formal!
[10] incident at Zuo Residence – that one time where Zuo Sheng asked Lin Ze to serve Yan Bin.
Notes:
This chapter was 2.9k Chinese characters to 2.1k English words, a rather short one but still took me a long time.
Are there too many Translator’s Notes? Would you guys prefer if I noted only the important ones or is what I’m doing now alright?
Our 001 is really cute hehe. Also, while translating this chapter I just felt really bad and pitied Yan Bin. He’s such a nice person and yet this is the treatment he gets :”( Is this what everyone calls the second male lead syndrome? \n<hr class="wp-block-separator">\n
