Chapter 1205: Their Hands Couldn’t be Separated

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

At that time, the energy that had flowed into Wu Chengyue’s body through his palm started to spread in his veins and muscles, then move toward his head. Lin Qiao was still absorbing the energy, but had spared a part of it for Wu Chengyue.

‘I didn’t mean this to happen. Please don’t be mad!‘ Wu Chengyue prayed in his head. He couldn’t retract his hand now even if he wanted to, because she was holding it tightly.

He had no idea if Lin Qiao was holding him unwittingly or consciously. She should have sensed that he was absorbing the energy too, right? After all, she was able to feel the flow of energy.

Did she hold his hand because letting go would cause a problem?

‘Can’t let go.‘ At that moment, a voice was suddenly heard from his head.

Wu Chengyue gave a start. That voice wasn’t clear, but he knew that it was Lin Qiao’s voice. What was happening?

Telepathy?

‘I know what you’re thinking now.’ Lin Qiao’s voice was heard again, sounding a little displeased. She was trying to tell him not to think about anything that he should not be thinking about.

Wu Chengyue immediately erased all the thoughts he had, then asked her in his mind, ‘What should I do now? Stay like this?’

‘You can’t let go even if you want to. Feel it. Try to cut off the energy,‘ Lin Qiao said.

Wu Chengyue gave it a try and found that she was right. He wasn’t able to cut off the energy that had connected the two of them together. So now, their hands couldn’t be separated.

‘What’s going on?‘ he asked.

‘How am I supposed to know?’ said Lin Qiao, ‘I told you not to do anything unnecessary. You wouldn’t listen.’

Embarrassed, Wu Chengyue stayed silent for a few seconds, then said to her, ‘So we have to wait until you absorbed this whole nucleus?’

‘Probably.’

The level-eight beast nucleus contained a huge amount of energy. Based on their current absorption rate, it might take days for them to absorb it entirely. After all, the energy contained in a level-eight nucleus was greater than that in a level-seven one by ten times at least.

As a zombie, Lin Qiao was special. For a level-eight superpowered man like Wu Chengyue, a couple of days wouldn’t be enough for him to absorb a level-eight nucleus. Now, they had to stay together holding hands for day, and they couldn’t fully wake up. Wu Chengyue wondered if they could absorb thirty percent of the energy nucleus by the morning.

Currently, the two of them were both thinking about one thing—The two kids would need to get up alone tomorrow morning.

Thankfully, Duan Juan and Xiao Licheng would both come in the morning to pick up the files that had been read and signed, and drop some new. So, those two would discover the awkward situation of their Chiefs.

As they thought, Teng woke up the first in the morning. He sensed the unusual energy wave in the room next door once he woke up. He leaned forward and twitched his tiny nose, then wore a confused look.

“Eh? What are Mama and Daddy doing?” Teng sat on the bed. He was still tiny, and the winter quilt was thick. He was buried in the quilt, so even after sitting up, he could only stick the top of his head out of the quilt. He raised his arms and struggled for a while, finally pulling off the quilt and exposing his face. Then, he spent a short while thinking.

The energy waves that he had been feeling from his Mama and Daddy were similar to what happened when he made them make love the first time, but not exactly the same. Back then, the energy waves weren’t so strong.

“Ling Ling, get up, get up!” He turned and started shaking Wu Yueling, who was lying next to him.

“Em…” Wu Yueling let out a small moan from under the quilt, then moved slightly and fell asleep again.

Teng started to shake her very hard, also uttered his deafening baby scream, “Get up! It’s morning! Get up! Get up! Geeeeeet uuuuuuup!”

Finally, Wu Yueling reluctantly reached an arm out of the quilt. But in the next second, she shrank that arm back under the quilt once she felt the cold air outside. Then, she once again curled in the quilt and stopped moving.

“Get up! Don’t sleep late! Get up!” Teng pushed and yelled at her again.

“Ooh…” Wu Yueling gave a weak complaint as she struggled to sit up. Her eyes were still closed though. Her messy hair covered her face, and some even stood up.

As she sat on the bed, the quilt pulled up before her and buried her neck. She pushed away the quilt with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other.

“Get off the bed! Get off the bed! Put on your clothes and shoes! Then, help me get dressed!” Teng crawled out of the quilt and gave orders to Wu Yueling.

“Hmm… Eh? Daddy… not here?” After rubbing her eyes, Wu Yueling finally started waking up. She looked around, but she didn’t see her Daddy. Normally, Daddy would come to wake her and Teng up.

Teng crawled to the bedside and sat there as he said, “Just get off the bed and put on your clothes. Daddy and Mama won’t come here now. Let’s get dressed and go to their rooms to see what’s happening.”

Wu Yueling didn’t really understand what he said. However, as the little boy kept urging her to get the clothes, she obediently got off the bed and put on her fluffy little slippers, then made a few steps toward the chair where the clothes were put on.

She first picked up Teng’s clothes and clumsily put them on the boy. Thankfully, Teng was cooperative. He raised his arms so she could put them into the sleeves. After the sweater, Wu Yueling put the coat on him. As she prepared to put the socks on the little boy, Teng stopped him.

“Alright, alright, just put on your own clothes first then come to help me wear socks. It’s cold. Don’t catch a cold,” Teng pushed her away and said to her while lowering his head to do his buttons.

It was cold in the morning indeed.

Wu Yueling found her own clothes and put them on. While doing that, she said word by word, “I won’t… catch a cold. I am… healthy.”

She had healing power. She didn’t know much about the self-protection system yet, but she could feel that her body wouldn’t become ill.

Teng raised and gave her a glance, then said, “Oh yeah, you have healing power.”

Wu Yueling put on her clothes, then turned to put socks on the boy. After that, she first opened the door, then came back to lift Teng from the bed and walk out. She couldn’t open the door while carrying Teng in her arms after all.

“Why didn’t… Daddy come?” While carrying Teng toward the door, she asked the boy curiously.

Teng rubbed his pink and tender cheeks and said, “I don’t know. Let’s go and take a look first.”
