Ch46.1 - The Rules of Raising a Dog-Type Boyfriend (16)

For the first time, Xu Qichen felt completely helpless.

Back then, why had he written an ending like that? 

Was it because he thought his own love was hopeless?

‘If the person he liked would never become his, then he would simply write his death in his novel. ‘

 

 

He had written these miserable endings with such dark thoughts in his head.

But when the end truly came, his mind was completely blank. 

Kneeling on the ground, Xu Qichen could only vacantly watch as under the influence of intense pain, that familiar person turned into something else – Bright red pupils, terribly sharp fangs, red demon marks on the cheeks.

 

Was he destined to fail in this world?

Shi Wei’s laughter could be heard from his cell.

“I’ve waited so long just to see this moment!” In his extreme excitement, his face has twisted into something ferocious, “This is the ultimate power!”

 

Mu Yao slowly got to his feet. When his blood-red eyes landed on Xu Qichen, not a drop of emotion could be seen in them, as though they were complete strangers.

Like a knife, that cold and empty gaze mercilessly stabbed straight into Xu Qichen’s chest. He did not understand. He had been hurt badly when he was kidnapped earlier, but the pain from then was barely a fraction of the pain brought about by this one look.

What’s wrong with him?

How laughable. 

Mu Yao gradually lifted his right hand. The claws dripping with fresh blood were even sharper than they had been before.

“Run! He has already lost control!”

Ning Zheng’s shouts did not have any effect.

Xu Qichen’s mind was in a mess. In the face of impending death, memories with Mu Yao flashed before his eyes, threatening to swallow him whole. 

[Hey, we’re all adults, have you never told a lie?]

[Senior… I’m drunk.]

[Thank you, senior, for sharing your luck with me.]

[Because I smelled you.] 

[I heard you laugh.]

[Don’t be angry with me. Haven’t I already… been punished enough?]

 

[I’m so lucky.]

[I have the best owner in the whole world.] 

All the words Mu Yao had once said, once again surfaced in his mind, like a broken film, frame by disordered frame.

Xu Qichen asked in his mind, “0901, if the mission fails, I will die, right?”

There was no reply.

Xu Qichen stood up. 

“That’s fine. If I were to die with him, it would be fine.”

At least it would be better than the original ending where he lives alone.

Seeing Xu Qichen start walking towards the completely demonised Mu Yao, Ning Zheng raised his gun, “Are you crazy? He doesn’t recognise you anymore!”

As expected, this action only served to incite Mu Yao’s fury. He let out a roar and easily ripped the cable into shreds. 

He mercilessly swiped a claw at Ning Zheng. Although he tried his best to dodge, his left arm still got injured. Streaks of blood immediately stained his shirt. Meanwhile, Ning Zheng managed to land a kick right on Mu Yao’s abdomen, making him stumble back.

Under the influence of the drugs, Mu Yao did not seem to feel any pain. An angry sound was ripped from his throat, like a death threat to the person before him.

Despite his abundant experience in dealing with demons, Ning Zheng was only an ordinary human. As they exchanged blows, it was clear that he did not have the upper hand.

“Captain Ning, if only you had obediently cooperated with me, you would not have to meet this end today.” 

Every word of Shi Wei’s disgusted Ning Zheng.

One of Mu Yao’s attacks came so fast that he could not avoid it in time. His sharp claws were right before his eyes, Ning Zheng immediately grabbed his wrist, but the difference in strength between the two was too big, and he was easily overwhelmed.

 

He thought, this must be it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qichen grabbed Mu Yao’s waist from behind and shouted at him, “Take Xiao Cang and go!” 

Mu Yao’s focus was immediately drawn to Xu Qichen. He roared like a beast and swiped at Xu Qichen’s arm.

He immediately felt an immense pain, but, as though possessed, Xu Qichen refused to let go.

“Mu Yao…”

Shi Wei’s sharp laughter rang harshly, as though he was watching the best comedic act. 

“Do you think he can still recognise you? Right now all of you are nothing but prey in his eyes! You won’t escape! Kill ah! Kill them! Hahaha!”

Mu Yao broke free of Xu Qichen’s embrace and turned around. That empty yet murderous gaze landed once again on Xu Qichen.

But he refused to give up. “Mu Yao…”

Even as those glimmering claws reached for him, Xu Qichen simply lowered his head and looked at it. 

I won’t believe it.

I won’t be satisfied.

Xu Qichen forced the corners of his lips upwards as he grabbed Mu Yao’s wrist. His cold fingers could still feel the unrelenting pulse and hot blood flowing underneath.

With some effort, he pulled the claws away from his arm. 

“You like me, right?”

The smell of blood slowly filled the air.

Mu Yao seemed to freeze as his eyebrows furrowed. Confusion entered his blood-red eyes.

Xu Qichen took a step forward. 

As he broke into Mu Yao’s personal space, Mu Yao bristled but was suddenly embraced again.

“You like me, you won’t forget me.”

 

He refused to let it end like this.

Even though this person could no longer hear him. 

If only he were a little sooner.

Just a little sooner.

The skin of his arm was cut open by his sharp claws, and warm blood gushed out.

“I’m your owner ah.” 

Xu Qichen’s voice was unexpectedly steady.

“That’s why, no matter what happens, I won’t give up on you.”

The pain of being stabbed made Xu Qichen’s arm shake uncontrollably. He tried to open the fingers that he had subconsciously clenched because of pain.

With difficulty and tenderness, he patted Mu Yao’s back. Again and again. 

“Be good.”

Xu Qichen gritted his teeth, but Mu Yao, who had lost his mind, was still struggling to escape.

“We’ll be home soon.”

It hurt. 

“When we get home… I’ll cook for you, whatever you want to eat.”

His hands slowly crept up to gently rub the back of Mu Yao’s head.

He looked into the eyes that had been consumed by insanity.

“Even though I know regret is the most useless human emotion, I have always regretted; every unimportant decision, every imperfect version of me. But now I know, those regrets were nothing.” 

He felt the claws break the skin on his arms.

The smell of blood became stronger.

 

“My greatest regret is that I never told you.”

“How much I like you.” 

The smell of blood.

His heart beat violently again, as if eager to jump out of this unconscious body.

The corners of his eyes that were colored red, began to slowly recover.

“Blood…” 

Xu Qichen furrowed his eyebrows.

Is this a hallucination brought about by blood loss?

The hands grabbing his arms began to tremble.

“Blood… senior’s… blood…” 

It’s not a hallucination!

Every word was forced through gritted teeth with much difficulty.

Even though he had been under control.

Even though he had lost himself. 

But because he had smelled his blood, he woke up. As if it was a conditioned reflex.

Xu Qichen struggled, and kissed the person in front of him.

Fanaticism and clear-headedness.

Pain and peace. 

Finally intertwine at this moment.

Do you hear it?

 

Even the blood flowing from my body is calling your name.

Hoping that you would remember me. 

He watched as the blood-red eyes slowly became clear again.

And reflected his silhouette.

The stiff body slowly became soft, and the unscrupulously sharp claws finally retracted a little and withdrew from his scarred arms.

Was he saved? Finally. 

The moment he let go of his nerves, he found that he had really lost too much blood and his sight began to blur.

As he collapsed, he was brought into an embrace.

“Senior… Senior!”

“Sorry, I’m sorry…” 

Xu Qichen weakly raised his head.

“You have nothing to apologise for.”

He reached up to stroke the fading demon markings on Mu Yao’s cheeks.

“Don’t worry, I won’t take back my words.” 

I still like you.

Every version of you.

“Impossible… This can’t be! No demon can resist my drugs, it’s impossible for him to regain his consciousness!”

Someone spoke in Ning Zheng’s earphones. 

“Leave quickly, the Agency is arriving.”

Shi Wei immediately opened the door, trying to escape, but was mercilessly kicked into a wall by Ning Zheng, who then grabbed him by the neck, “I would not feel any pity for a scum like you even if you died ten thousand painful deaths. But killing you will only dirty my hands.” Ning Zheng took out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed him to the bench in Yu Cang’s cell.

 

“No… this is impossible! How did he regain consciousness!?”

“Do you know what faith is?” 

Something that is rooted so deep, as if engraved in blood, that it can break through all confinements.

Seeing that he did not understand, Ning Zheng delivered a chop to his nape to silence the human scum. After efficiently dealing with him, he picked up Yu Cang from the corner and shouted at Mu Yao, “Mad dog, stop wasting time, hurry up and come with me.”

Ning Zheng gave instructions to the people in the earphones as he led them away from the laboratory to the factory when they first entered.

“Get in the car.”
