He was overthinking; how could he consider escaping when his husband loved him so much?
Bow Yan’an’s hand rested on Song Jinshi’s nape, noticing his distracted expression, which changed his demeanor for a moment.
“What are you thinking about, baby?”
Song Jinshi shook his head, not wanting him to continue asking. He hurriedly changed the subject.
“Honey, I want to drink some porridge. Could you make me some?”
Song Jinshi gazed at him with watery eyes filled with admiration.
This made Bow Yan’an genuinely smile.
He softly tapped Song Jinshi’s brow with his finger.
“You’re always trying to distract me. Fine, I’ll make it for you.”
“But can you keep me company while I’m cooking? You’ve been sleeping separately for several days now, and I really miss you.”
Song Jinshi didn’t want him to question further; having achieved his goal, he would agree to anything else.
During dinner, Bow Yan’an casually mentioned that he had been experiencing insomnia recently.
Song Jinshi initially didn’t want to pry but thought about the meals he had prepared for him, so he asked with concern.
Seeing that he had achieved his aim, Bow Yan’an immediately spoke with a melancholic expression and tone.
“Perhaps it’s because I’ve only recently started sleeping with you, and now you want us to sleep apart.”
“But don’t worry; I’ll adjust on my own.”
“At worst, I might just lose a few more nights of sleep, and I’ll be fine once I get used to it.”

Song Jinshi was unaware that all of this was Bow Yan’an’s scheme.
He thought everything was genuine, believing that his insomnia was caused by his love for him.
As a researcher, he was busy during the day; he couldn’t let Bow Yan’an lose sleep at night as well.
“Then I’ll go back to sleep tonight.”
Bow Yan’an fought to suppress the smile that wanted to appear on his lips, trying to make his tone sound pitiful.
“Don’t worry, baby. I’m just a bit insomniac; you don’t have to force yourself to sleep with me. It’s just that I lose focus while working, and my boss scolds me for it.”
Upon hearing this, Song Jinshi was even more determined in his decision.
“I’m not forcing myself; I want to sleep with you.”
Only then did Bow Yan’an relax his brow.
“You’re so good, baby.”
— “Green tea man, go to hell!”
— “Wait, how did I suddenly not understand this? Why is my wife calling him husband?!”
— “Who do you think you are? When did you sleep with my wife? Now you’re trying to gain sympathy, making my wife pity you! Why don’t you just die?!”
— “Bow Yan’an, 20, top player, special skill: Gu.”
— “Thanks to the mighty players ahead! Now that I see his skills, I understand how my wife fell for him overnight.”
— “Ahhh, dog man, you will face retribution! The more enjoyable it is now, the more miserable you’ll be at the crematorium! Your ashes will be scattered!”
— “Wife, please look at the bullet comments; I beg you, don’t be deceived by this dog man.”
Song Jinshi naturally couldn’t see the comments; he couldn’t even connect to the assistant now.
Because Bow Yan’an thought he was an NPC, he completely forgot about his player identity after the Gu worms acted up.
Whenever he remembers his identity, that’s when he’ll be able to see the comments and connect to the assistant.
Bow Yan’an cannot stay at home all day.
So before leaving, he specifically reminded Song Jinshi not to go outside since there were many monsters outside.
Even after getting Song Jinshi’s reassuring reply, he still felt uneasy.
After all, this wife was obtained through illegal means.
So before leaving, he locked the front door.
The entire day, Song Jinshi stayed at home without even thinking about going out.
But he wasn’t idle.
He felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity with this house, as if he had come here for the first time.
Also, he knew nothing about the outside situation, so he spent the entire day listening for news from the outside.
Through his inquiry, he learned that he was now in an apocalyptic world.
There were swarms of zombies outside.
And the place he was in was an official base established during the apocalypse.
His husband, Bow Yan’an, was a key member researching the zombie virus antidote.
His parents had turned into zombies when doomsday arrived.
Now, he was left with only Bow Yan’an as his remaining relative in this world.
The base was safe; they lived in a special residential area established for ability users and researchers.
The remaining residential area was for civilians.
That place housed ordinary people who lacked abilities.
For some reason, upon learning about the civilian area, Song Jinshi felt an unusual sensation in his heart.
It was as if he had experienced something terrible there before.
After understanding all this, the sky gradually darkened.
Bow Yan’an wouldn’t return for lunch, so he had a light meal.
But for dinner, Bow Yan’an would be back.
Song Jinshi felt that as a wife, he should prepare a dinner for him.
So when Bow Yan’an returned, he saw his little wife busy in the kitchen, making delicious meals filled with color and aroma.
“Baby, I’m back.”
Song Jinshi was focused on stirring the dishes, not turning around.
“Go wash your hands first; I’ll be ready soon. We can eat in a moment.”
After washing his hands, Bow Yan’an came over to help Song Jinshi serve the dishes.
He looked at the spread before him, a warming feeling surged within him.
In reality, he was an orphan, a lone wolf even in the game.
People feared his Gu worms, always thinking he could manipulate hearts, so no one was willing to follow him.
