Chapter 31: The Happiness of Two People

Fuweili was very nervous because she was alone in the cave; even the wild beast Xun had followed Lin Lei out.

She huddled in a corner at the very back of the cave, clutching the energy gun tightly in her hand, but this did not bring her any courage. In fact, ever since Lin Lei went out, she had maintained this extremely tense state, not even daring to take a deep breath.

The Blue Rain Star during the dark half of the month was pitch black in her eyes. Her Combat Suit was designed for researchers to wear, focusing on protective capabilities, but it lacked combat assistance functions like spectrum expansion or sound wave collection.

If not for the faint glow from the remains of the Epic Beast in the cave, she would have been practically blind; even if a wild beast entered the cave and stood right in front of her, she might not have noticed it.

Occasionally, the wind blew past the cave entrance, creating a strange wailing sound. It sounded like sobbing, or like low laughter, ringing right beside her ears, startlingly clear.

Fuweili felt all the hairs on her body stand up, and her pointed ears trembled unconsciously. She simply buried her head in her knees, curling her whole body into a ball like an ostrich, escaping negatively.

She regretted it; she should have gone out with Lin Lei at the time. Although it might be more dangerous outside, having Lin Lei by her side made her feel very safe. Unlike now, all the panic gathered in her heart, pressing on her until she could barely breathe.

In the darkness, it was as if a Monster named Fear and Nightmare was silently lurking there. It panted in the night, its large mouth full of fangs dripping with saliva, its eyes bloodshot and its face hideous. It was the embodiment of all the fears that intelligent beings have for the unknown.

Fuweili was practically shivering. She even felt that the Epic Beast was moving; it had come back to life and was slowly crawling towards her.

She felt like she was going to break down. Why hadn’t Lin Lei come back yet! Fuweili felt that he had been gone for several hours. With his power , this situation shouldn’t have occurred.

Could it be that his injuries hadn’t fully healed, or that he had encountered a powerful wild beast, or had he found her troublesome and a burden, and run away alone?

Various worries and guesses rose to her mind one after another like bubbles in boiling water, causing Fuweili’s IQ to plummet straight down, and even the thought that Lin Lei had abandoned her popped up.

She had also thought about going out of the cave to look for Lin Lei, but this thought was extinguished as soon as it flashed in her mind. The main reason was that she didn’t have the guts to go out; she was naturally a timid person.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but just as Fuweili’s thoughts were becoming muddled, footsteps sounded outside the cave. It was Lei coming back.

Fuweili, who was close to dozing off, immediately woke up. However, she was still cautious and didn’t immediately call out, but just poked her head out from the corner to look towards the entrance.

“Fuweili, what are you doing poking your head around? Come on out, I’m back.” Lin Lei felt like laughing seeing this woman being so careful, looking both expectant and fearful. Where was the confidence she had when discussing science and technology with him now?

Lin Lei’s deep, familiar message came into her mind, and Fuweili let out a long sigh of relief. The sense of security in her heart returned fully.

She couldn’t help but run towards that tall dark shadow, but she forgot to watch out for the terrain under her feet. As a result, she tripped and flew forward with a scream.

Lin Lei hurriedly threw the prey he was carrying onto the ground, took a step forward, and opened his arms to catch her in a full embrace. Hmm, holding soft jade in his arms, but unfortunately without warm fragrance, as the cold Combat Suit was in the way. This gave Lin Lei a small moment of regret.

“Fuweili, I haven’t seen you for two hours, how did you become so enthusiastic, even taking the initiative to tease.” Lin Lei couldn’t help but tease. Haha, this time I wasn’t the one taking advantage; you delivered yourself to me.

Fuweili, contrary to her usual behavior, did not retort. Instead, she shrank deeply into Lin Lei’s broad chest, even hanging her whole body onto him.

She didn’t speak either, only taking off her combat helmet and burying her head in the crook of Lin Lei’s neck.

Then Lin Lei felt hot liquid sliding down his neck. This… how did she start crying?

Lin Lei was a bit at a loss. He remembered that when he made these jokes before, Fuweili would only retort loudly, or at most blush, and return to normal after a while, and the two would be chatting and laughing again. Why was she so fragile today? This wasn’t like her.

However, Lin Lei wasn’t an entirely insensitive person either. He knew that at this moment, it was best to remain silent and let Fuweili cry to her heart’s content.

It made sense. Lin Lei thought about it; actually, this woman’s psychological burden was also very heavy. Her spaceship had crashed, her friends’ lives were unknown, and she was all alone on an alien planet, waiting helplessly for the so-called rescue from her family. But even Lin Lei knew how slim the hope of that rescue was, because Fuweili didn’t have any equipment to send a long-distance distress signal at all; her Combat Suit didn’t have that function.

She was like a needle in the ocean, waiting for her family on Apocalypse Star to come and fish her out, while her family might not even be sure if this needle existed.

Leaving her alone in the cave tonight, it seemed that fear had pushed the pressure in her heart to the highest point. Now that he had returned, it just happened to give her a shoulder to cry and vent her heart out on.

Fuweili, who was used to social life, and Lin Lei, who had often fallen into loneliness since childhood and was used to being alone, were ultimately different in their psychological endurance.

Lin Lei gently patted Fuweili’s back with one hand while holding her and sitting down on the prey beside him.

This scene had happened before, on the night before leaving Earth, by that confused little river. The difference was that the Aostarian Yan Siyu in Lin Lei’s arms had been replaced by the Apocalypse Star native Fuweili.

Lin Lei smiled bitterly. Almost two Earth years had passed, and Yan Siyu’s face in his memory had actually become somewhat blurry, while Fuweili’s appearance was incredibly clear.

Thinking back now, besides knowing she was an Aostarian, he knew nothing about Yan Siyu. He didn’t know her situation on Ao Star, nor did he know her personality, likes, or dislikes. The reason Yan Siyu remained unforgettable to him to this day, besides being the hazy first love of his teenage years, was that he still owed her a huge debt of gratitude.

Sending him to Blue Rain Star was a small matter for Yan Siyu, but for him, it was the first step in changing his destiny, an incredibly crucial step. He would remember this kindness until he died!

But the person in his arms now was someone who had truly shared life and death with him, someone he would find hard to forget for a lifetime.

Between the sentiments for the two, which was lighter and which was heavier was hard to distinguish, but in terms of the heart, who was closer and who was farther could be seen at a glance.

Fuweili in his arms raised her head, her red lips searching for his lips, her orchid-like breath blowing against Lin Lei’s face.

Lin Lei sensed her intention immediately. He was certainly very willing in his heart, but he still had to ask clearly. He felt that Fuweili right now might just be acting on a momentary impulse, and he suspected he might be taking advantage of her vulnerability.

“Wei, are you sure?” Unconsciously, Lin Lei tightly hugged Fuweili’s curvaceous body, as if trying to press her into his own body.

“Kiss me!” The message Fuweili sent was the bugle call for an attack. Lin Lei almost frantically kissed Fuweili all over—on her face, on her lips, on her eyelids, on her forehead, and finally on the tips of her pointed ears.

This was the most sensitive place for Apocalypse Star natives; only lovers would touch each other there. When Lin Lei kissed this spot, it immediately made Fuweili’s whole body tremble, and then she went limp in Lin Lei’s arms, unable to muster any strength at all.

At the same time, a soft sound, like that of a kitten, came from her throat, which greatly enhanced Lin Lei’s passion.

He now very much hated the Combat Suit on Fuweili; this thing completely hindered his steps to launch a full-scale attack.

He could forcefully destroy it, but he wasn’t sure if he would hurt Fuweili. In the end, he could only use his hands to touch Fuweili’s body to satisfy his craving, which was really suffocating.

“Wei, can you take off this Combat Suit?” His tone was almost pleading. Lin Lei felt that he had lost all dignity in front of this woman.

Fuweili had already been kissed by Lin Lei into a state of confusion, her mind a blank. Hearing Lin Lei’s message now, she dazedly sent the release command to the Combat Suit.

The Combat Suit slid down like water, revealing Fuweili’s infinitely beautiful body. In Lin Lei’s eyes, the nearly whitish infrared radiation outlined the perfect curves of Fuweili’s body, hazy and mysterious. This was truly a fatal temptation!

In the next moment, Lin Lei turned into a wild beast. He was a man with an incredibly strong and healthy body, not a eunuch without desires. On this uninhabited planet, he had endured for nearly two Earth years. Now encountering a woman who reciprocated his feelings, how could he have any rationality left in his mind?

In this situation, even God would go crazy!

However, Lin Lei still remembered that his physical fitness was far beyond what Fuweili could compare with. He controlled his strength, otherwise, what awaited Lin Lei would definitely be a great tragedy.

Lin Lei charged through the gate, and that instant felt like heaven.

Fuweili, however, suddenly felt a tearing pain in her body, which instantly sobered her up. She used her hands and feet, scratching and clawing at Lin Lei with all her might, venting the anger in her heart.

This rude guy, couldn’t he be a little gentler!

So, at this moment, the pair didn’t look like they were being intimate, but more like they were fighting. This caused the wild beast Xun not far away to look at these two strange creatures with a face full of doubt, watching a struggle it found hard to understand.

…

Afterwards, Lin Lei held the equally naked Fuweili, idly playing with the two soft mounds on her chest with great satisfaction. At this moment, he just lacked a post-coital cigarette, Lin Lei thought with a bit of regret.

“Lei, will you love only me for your whole life?” Women on Apocalypse Star were just like those on Earth; they liked to confirm the feelings between lovers afterwards.

But the difference was, Apocalypse Star natives pursued exclusive love; they viewed it as a faith. So facing the Alien Lin Lei, Fuweili asked this question.

Lin Lei kissed the natural fragrance in Fuweili’s hair, just sighing in admiration at the powerful function of the Apocalypse Star Combat Suit in keeping the human body clean. Hearing this question suddenly, he was stunned.

This kind of thing, before the event might be for the sake of obtaining pleasure, but afterwards, it meant a heavy responsibility.

Lin Lei held the person in his arms tightly, his chin rubbing against Fuweili’s smooth cheek, seriously thinking about their future.

Although Lin Lei was a bit of an idealist, he also saw reality clearly and wouldn’t do unreliable things. Since he had already chosen Fuweili, he would let all his previous daydreams and romantic thoughts scatter with the sands of time.

At least at this moment, the lovely image of Yan Siyu disappeared from the surface of Lin Lei’s heart. Perhaps it was forgotten, or perhaps it had dived deeper into his heart.

“Wei, I will be by your side for the rest of my life.” Lin Lei looked deeply into Fuweili’s eyes.

Although the night was very dark, Fuweili could still feel Lin Lei’s burning gaze. She buried her head in Lin Lei’s strong chest, smiling happily.
