System: [Host, let me tell you. According to the investigation, some dog owners not only kiss their dogs when they are injured, but also when they are not injured. There's a nine percent chance worldwide that perverts fall in love with their pets!]
[So, wanting to kiss a dog doesn't mean anything!]
"Really?"
Lu Yan fell into thought.
Lu Yan ended this brief kiss, and the next moment, he found himself being tackled to the ground.
The ground was hard, and his back hurt from the impact.
Tang Xunan brought his head close to Lu Yan's neck, sniffed it hard, and made a soft snoring sound from his throat. He also kept rubbing his head against him.
If it were just this, it could be endured. But the next moment, Tang Xunan opened his mouth.
The artificial intelligence AI emitted a sharp alarm, and the staff near the monitoring room became busy in an instant.
Researcher A was extremely frustrated: "Wasn't it supposed to be safe?! What's going on! Brothers, grab the tranquilizer guns!"
When Tang Xunan opened his mouth, Lu Yan thought he was going to be bitten.
But instead, the other party just started licking with his tongue.
Tang Xunan's tongue with thorns scraped against his ear, not too painful, just itchy.
He kissed Tang Xunan's earlobe, and the other began licking his ear. It's fair, nothing wrong with that.
The system roared in Lu Yan's mind: [What the hell is fair about this?!]
[I call him Dog Dragon! I call him Dog Dragon!!! The emphasis is on the dragon at the end, not the two dog characters in front!]
Lu Yan grabbed the scales behind his neck and pulled back like lifting a small cat.
If it were a real strength competition, so far, ten Lu Yans wouldn't be enough for Tang Xunan.
But Tang Xunan was subdued like this, with his neck pressed down, and the dragon tail hanging behind him swayed back and forth, making a loud sound as it slapped against the ground.
In his eyes, you could see golden irises, and the black pupils were as small as a dot, revealing sharp teeth.
Lu Yan couldn't resist and opened his mouth to check Tang Xunan's teeth.
Although he was not a dentist, he had learned a bit during his school days.
Tang Xunan's dental health was excellent, not at all like the teeth of a hundred-year-old.
Just then, a bunch of researchers in protective suits rushed in from the door with tranquilizer guns.
The door was suddenly pushed open, making a loud noise – "Doctor Lu!! Hold on, we're coming to save you!!"
Lu Yan turned his head and happened to meet the surprised expression of Researcher A.
A glanced at the scene inside, casually covered little B's eyes, "Sorry for the disturbance. My bad, you guys continue."
After speaking, he wanted to close the door and leave.
Lu Yan stopped him, "Wait, give me the medicine."
To recover sooner, Tang Xunan still needed to inject special medicine every day to lower the degree of mutation and strive for early recovery.
A took out today's injection-type special medicine from the refrigerator.
Little A rubbed his hands, "This type of special medicine has not yet been circulated on the market. Although it is a semi-finished product, it has few side effects. The main ingredients come from the underwater pollutants, derived from the mutation of jellyfish, and the annual catch is very limited."
The liquid in the test tube was a beautiful blue, as if it could glow.
Little A: "Uh, Mr. Di, do you need help? We usually inject the tyrant with a sedative first, then a muscle relaxant, an anesthetic, put on reinforced protective clothing, and finally, the last step is to inject the special medicine. Because the special medicine is derived from pollutants, although it has been purified, injecting it directly into the human body still causes intense pain."
Although Lu Yan had not received injections of pollutants, he had fused with pollutants himself and knew what that feeling was like.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Is Tang Xunan conscious?"
"Yes, he will have memories afterward. But it's like a person who is drunk, even if he is conscious, he can't control his actions... the aftereffects will magnify the negative elements in his personality." Little A gestured with his hand, "He is easily provoked now."
Lu Yan lowered his head and looked at Tang Xunan, who was pressed under his hand, wagging his tail continuously.
The other's lips were tightly pursed, and no emotion could be discerned.
Lu Yan said, "It's okay. By the way, where should I inject?"
Researcher A said cautiously, "When injecting stimulating drugs, it's usually a muscle injection. We generally inject the deltoid muscle. After the injection, we apply medicine to him."
Lu Yan had only given injections to mice and rabbits, after all, he couldn't snatch the nurses' job when there was nothing to do.
He thought for a moment, "Then you stay."
Lu Yan didn't use sedatives and other drugs but directly took out the special medicine.
Researcher A nervously said, "Is this a bit dangerous?"
Lu Yan unbuttoned the two buttons of Tang Xunan's shirt. As expected, he saw the pitch-black dragon scales underneath the clothing.
The dragon scales extended just above the shoulders, revealing some pinpricks on the deltoids.
Xiao Jia awkwardly scratched his head, "Sometimes the needles might break inside, it's not intentional."
When using pliers to pull it out, the injection needles were all crooked.
Lu Yan held his breath and slowly pushed the medicine in. When he withdrew the needle, Tang Xunan leaned in, rubbing against Lu Yan's hand, "Yan Yan, it hurts."
Xiao Jia's expression was incredibly shocked, "Damn, he can talk?!"
He felt his words were inappropriate, so he quickly added, "No, we know he can talk. But during treatment, he rarely speaks. We thought it was a period of aphonia."
Lu Yan remained silent, put the syringe aside, and touched Tang Xunan's hair, "Know the pain and get better soon."
Xiao Jia tactfully packed up and tentatively asked, "Should I leave now?"
"Yeah."
Xiao Jia was about to close the door, hesitated for a moment, then stuck his head back in, "Uh, um... Lord Di Ting. Do you want me to turn off the surveillance for you guys?"
Lu Yan originally wanted to say no, Xiao Jia was overthinking, but soon, he remembered something else and nodded slightly, "Turn it off."
Xiao Jia: "Okay."
However, the next moment, he pushed the door open again, looking embarrassed, "Dr. Lu... um, being stupid is against the law. I'm not saying the tyrant is stupid, but his current state is indeed a bit intellectually challenged, lacking autonomy. On the other hand, it doesn't seem quite appropriate. I just mentioned it casually, if, well, if it really doesn't work out... we'll find someone to take care of it."
The system burst into laughter in Lu Yan's mind.
Lu Yan: "...You're thinking too much."
For a moment, Xiao Jia didn't know whether he should express his disappointment.
After all, he also hoped that Tang Xunan could have a home.
Finally, Xiao Jia left.
Lu Yan released his hand that was pinching Tang Xunan's neck, and as expected, was tackled to the ground.
Lu Yan sighed, letting Tang Xunan burrow in his arms.
The system exclaimed, "[Ancient people say, feeling sorry for a man is the beginning of misfortune for a beauty! Host! Wake up!!]"
He cupped Tang Xunan's face, "Look at me."
So, those golden eyes looked at him, but still without focus.
"Do you like me?" Lu Yan asked.
"Like... Yan Yan."
"When did you start liking me?"
Tang Xunan thought for a long time, "From... 82 years ago."
Lu Yan was somewhat puzzled.
82 years ago, that would be 2039.
Indeed, he had returned to the past in Tang Xunan's dreams, but he had been explicitly told that it was only his dream. In the reality he experienced, there was no "Lu Yan."
But soon, Lu Yan thought of another possibility.
The 19-year-old Tang Xunan had once sent Yu Zhizhi, the subject 0, to the future.
He asked, "Tell me, when did we meet in the future?"
Tang Xunan had told him that he had hidden Yu Zhizhi on the day of his death.
He didn't immediately answer Lu Yan's question, showing a struggling expression.
Lu Yan leaned in, as if a sea monster was enchanting a sailor, "Tell me the time."
Lu Yan even subconsciously used the talent of Delirium.
Tang Xunan reached back and grabbed Lu Yan's arm, answering very reluctantly, "Can't... can't tell Yan Yan."
"Why?"
"Yan Yan will cry."
Lu Yan's tone turned cold, "I don't like disobedient people."
Tang Xunan's expression suddenly panicked, he wrapped his tail around Lu Yan's waist, making a "woo-woo" sound.
Tears even flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Speak."
Tang Xunan, with tears in his eyes, replied, "February 14, 2122."
It was now September 16, 2121.
Only five months left until that day.
Large teardrops fell on Lu Yan's face.
Bitter and salty.
The system remained silent for a long time, "[This is why I don't want you two to be together. He will die on that day, but you, have a very, very long life ahead.]"
"Why will he die?"
"[I don't know.]"
"But you know everything."
"[I cannot know what hasn't happened yet.]"
Lu Yan retorted, "Then how do you know he will die?"
"[Because... it's something that has already happened in his past.]"
The system coughed, adding, "[What I mean is, Tang Xunan's past. He knows he will die on a certain day, so I know too.]"
Lu Yan knew the system was hiding something from him, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
"[He knows he will die soon, so he doesn't dare to get too close to you. He's afraid of affecting the future, so he has never actively sought you out. Your meeting is the best arrangement of fate.]"
Beyond time, space, life, and death, beyond any rules.
Lu Yan remained silent for a long time.
He lifted his hand, wiped away the tears on Tang Xunan's face.
Then stood up and kissed his overly pale lips.
