Chereads / A Dragon Wants To Eat Me In The Apocalypse (BL) / Chapter 27 - Abandoned Building

Chapter 27 - Abandoned Building

"We broke up." Tang Rong was very calm as he said this. When a boy proposed to him for the first time in the college, he was very surprised but other than that, he felt no repulsion. He also realized that he seemed to be different from other guys in his class about attraction.

In order to explore more about his new feelings and realization, he had agreed to be in the relationship. He had a straightforward personality so he never waited until things went out of hand to make a move. His direct answer surprised the boy.

It seemed like the boy himself had also recently known about his sexuality and he wanted to give it a try. He was attracted by Tang Rong's looks when he once saw him looking very active and handsome during a camping trip. As for proposing Tang Rong, he thought that Tang Rong was just a nerd focused on his studies who didn't pay attention to his looks and he wouldn't have an interest in publicising or even humiliating him for being a gay even if he disagreed.

And Tang Rong really was a person who minded his own business; he definitely wouldn't have thought more unnecessary things even if he rejected the proposal of someone from the same sex. Him accepting the proposal was an unexpected surprise for the boy.

A relationship which was formed just out of curiosity about their sexuality and impulsive feelings definitely didn't survive for a long time. They both had peacefully separated a few weeks ago after a complete year of dating.

During the time they dated, they both were very active in bed and often went out with each other into hotels in the name of dates which gave the impression that both of them were being lovey-dovey. Tang Rong never explained himself, a bit of influence on him from Fang Bai, which gave everyone around a wrong impression.

Duan Wei was very surprised. He looked astonishingly at Tang Rong and realized that he was not joking. He got up from his position and held Tang Rong's hand, while at the same time ignoring a little bit of strange sweetness leaking in his heart.

"Hey, are you feeling sad? Rong Rong did he dump you? Did something happen?"

At this time, he focused himself completely on Tang Rong, fearing that his good friend was in depression.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the washroom's door.

"Oh, their love ended early. I had already said to Rong Rong that a relationship based solely on sex would not last long. Break-up was inevitable. Ah-Wei, now Rong-Rong has a lot of free time in his schedule, you can book him all your massage time."

Tang Rong and Duan Wei were surprised and looked at the source of the voice. Fang Bai was standing there with a smirk at the corner of his lips. He looked like he was just having a casual stroll and was having a simple conversation, but the atmosphere around him seemed dark.

'Something has happened.' Both Tang Rong and Duan Wei said inside their minds at the same time.

Fang Bai was feeling suffocated from inside, as if a whirlpool was swallowing his consciousness deep into itself. The beast clawing his heart was really getting out of control.

Maybe he realized that there can never be a constant pillar of support and that everyone had to go away from him one day or the other. His ge-ge, whom he thought would stay with him forever in his life, now has a partner and they would soon go to their homes soon.

He looked at Tang Rong, who was massaging Duan Wei's hand while the other person quietly enjoyed the message. They both seemed to just have themselves for one another, he was just an extra. Maybe they will come even closer in the future as Rong Qing said, and was trying to do, and then, even if he left, they would not mind his absence at all as they would only love one-another.

Then, a thought came in his mind, why not let them be together just now. Why does he have to wait until his heart is twisted into fragments to see all his family going away and delivering him a killing blow?

He will send them away right now itself. And then, he would at least have some breath left to feel the presence of 'Lei'. But, what if Lei went to another person's head? What if 'it' got tired of him, of his dark thoughts? Will 'it' too leave him and love another person?

As Fang Bai had grown up, all the rational thoughts made him think that the vague muttering of the voice in his head can never be a real person. So he consciously or unconsciously took the voice as an inanimate object. It was just the love that continuously warmed him up once in those six months that kept him a bit sane.

'I will send all those who want to leave me away!'

Fang Bai was in a trance as all these thoughts and emotions came into him, fuelling his negative thoughts more and more.

He looked at Duan Wei who was still confused about the words he said and then at Tang Rong who was eying his face all the time with a bit of confused expression because of his strange tone.

Fang Bai decided to use Rong Qing's method to stimulate Duan Wei and Tang Rong until they would also realize where their hearts lie… and go away from him, leaving him alone.

While Duan Wei had a confused expression at the words Fang Bai said, he started feeling more of that sweet feeling. He forcefully suppressed this feeling as it was definitely shameful to be happy at your best friend's sadness.

Fang Bai observed the two clueless fools in the jacuzzi. They were literally stuck to each other for the whole day and without the other person their day would become gloomy as rain clouds would gather on both their heads.

Tang Rong got up from his seat on Duan Wei's side while the other two were still lost in their thoughts and walked out of the jacuzzi. He cleaned the droplets on his body and walked behind Fang Bai.

Before Fang Bai could continue speaking, Tang Rong's voice came from behind Fang Bai and snapped both Fang Bai and Duan Wei out of their thoughts.

"Oh, so the great fighter Fang Bai has all the knowledge about everyone's personal affairs. After all, he is a big man and knowing about everyone is just a trivial thing for him."

And then he swiftly moved and pushed Fang Bai into the jacuzzi which was almost the size of a small indoor pool."

After this, Tang Rong too jumped in and began a pushing and pulling game with Fang Bai.

Duan Wei sat on the sidelines and enjoyed the chaos with small sips of mango juice in his hand.

It was dark everywhere around him, the stars in the night sky gave him a little bit of ability to judge his direction. The area was very remote and there were just a few abandoned factories and garages around.

Li Jin was running and sweating all over his breaths in shambles because of the overuse of his body. His eyes were feeling blurred but he still tried his best to identify everything around. He was thankful that his body was well nourished despite it's misleading appearance that he could run all over here. He couldn't get a chance to learn how to drive a vehicle before the apocalypse, and during the apocalypse he didn't have the luxury to find a trainer, especially when everyone feared that their precious and rare vehicle would be stolen.

So he ran all over here to N city from M city without any drop of water or food.mThe last time he ate was in the canteen with the seniors. His other objective was to drain his body to its limit of endurance, to bring on the line of life and death to fulfil his goal. And he was nearing it.

After a few more minutes of running, almost like dragging his body, Li Jin just pushed himself to enter the selected building which had an underground basement. He knew this as he had once been here while escaping from those pursuers who didn't even spare him during the apocalypse.

Trying to go down the stairs in darkness, he tripped and ended up rolling down about fifty stairs.

Cough! Cough!

Gasp!

Ha Ha ha

Taking in loud breaths, he brought himself up at the bottom of stairs and with trembling knees, he entered the room which still had proper bolts. As soon as he entered the dark room, he bolted the lock and collapsed on the ground.

His heart was pounding in his head when his consciousness disappeared.

Inside Li Jin's brain, as if a lock was broken, something awoke. Mysteriously, a region deep in his brain started decolouring, all the neural nerves around it lost their function, seemingly dead.

Deep inside the area, cell by cell, a blue energy occupied them. And it slowly expanded and spread around, coloring all the nerve cells again, but this time, in the colour of blue.

The energy spread around and travelled all around Li Jin's body, but the astonishing thing was what happened next.

Sparks flew all round the place!
