Ye Ruan laughed at his description, murmured a soft assent, and reached up to stroke Gu Cheng's head for a while.
Gu Cheng immediately let his wolf ears appear, letting Ye Ruan pinch and play with them.
"Actually, the luggage compartment might really be more comfortable than the cabin. Though it might not smell too good when there are lots of zombies around."
Gu Cheng rambled on:
"I'm useless. Every time I say I won't let you get hurt, I never manage to keep that promise."
Ye Ruan covered his wolf mouth. "No, you've protected me so many times. This has nothing to do with you. I wasn't careful enough."
Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and gazed at him tenderly for a long time.
Ye Ruan took his hand away and looped his arms around his neck, his snow-white fingers resting against the back of Gu Cheng's neck.
Gu Cheng gripped the back of Ye Ruan's neck with a somewhat forceful hand, making him lift his head.
"I love you."
Ye Ruan smiled. "I know."
"But I still want to tell you, even if you know."
Gu Cheng lifted him a little higher in his arms and leaned in.
With their lips pressed together, Gu Cheng said those three words again.
Big Gray Wolf had always kissed forcefully and possessively, as though he wanted to control every breath his rabbit took. Now, though, he was gentle, like a soft breeze brushing across his face.

The gauze wrapped around Ye Ruan's palm brushed Gu Cheng's skin, and he gave his arm a pinch.
Gu Cheng's breath caught. The next moment, his hand moved from Ye Ruan's nape to his jaw, holding his chin as he deepened the kiss.
"Mmph..."
