The greenery that filled the eye cut the otherwise unobstructed room into two parts, the outer room was a few square meters with only a table against the wall. It was filled with bottles and jars of pharmaceuticals, and there were several sheets of densely written papers spread out on it.
“Here’s the data from the experiment I’m working on, it’s a little messy, so please don’t take offense.”
Yuan Chen went to the desk and gathered up the scattered papers, then put them into a folder on the table. After a moment’s scrutiny, he looked down and circled a few figures with a pen, writing something down next to them.
The vine walls were elaborately decorated with many things, similar to ornamental artworks on a home shelf, and Lu Tian, being interested, walked over to get a closer look, standing in between them (YC and ZZ).
Zhou Zheng, who was standing closest to the door, found that the wall to his right was also lined with vines, and on it were also several bottles of unknown potions.
He glanced at the deep interior of the room and the washroom at the end of the right hand side, he glanced back at the unsuspecting two, pretended to be curious, picked up a bottle of white medicine on the wall, looked at it, and deliberately spilled it on the back of his hand.
“Professor Yuan, I accidentally spilled this, sorry.”
He put down the medicine bottle in frustration and asked, covering his wet hand.
“Can I go to the washroom and rinse off?”
Yuan Chen tilted his head and looked at him with eyes that were somehow dark, as if he had seen through all of his clumsy thoughts. Then he lifted the corner of his lips and smiled gently.
“Okay, the contents of that bottle are harmless, just rinse it out in time.”
Zhou Zheng’s tense heart relaxed a little, then he nodded and went straight over to the washroom.
After quickly rinsing the liquid from the back of his hand, he left the faucet running, held his breath and went out through the deliberately open washroom door.
He could not see where a door was, as the vines were so dense that he had no way of getting around them.
After a moment of contemplation, he reached out and placed his hand on the nearest vine, using his disintegrating ability to disintegrate the vine a little. The hole extended from the size of his thumb to the size of his fist, and he crouched down and peered in carefully.
In his limited field of view, he saw clean furniture, but no one was visible. He frowned slightly, keeping his voice extremely low so as to be covered up by the sound of the rushing water in the washroom.
“Jiang Fu, Jiang Fu, are you in there?”
The atmosphere was so quiet, like a stone disappearing quietly into the sea. He reluctantly shouted softly again, and it was a full minute before he heard a mosquito-like response.
“Zhou… Zhou Zheng…?”
Zhou Zheng was delighted, but was afraid that he might get it wrong again, so he slightly increased his tone and hurriedly asked the question.

“Jiang Fu, are you in there? Answer me!”

And the fingers were embedded with heavy hickeys, the soft tender flesh filled with conspicuous red marks, as if they had been subjected to some kind of dark torture.
The hand eagerly reached out in Zhou Zheng’s direction, eager for the slightest response from him.
Zhou Zheng suddenly took a deep breath, his whole heart had been squeezed by that hand, causing a sour, numbing astringency to appear.
His face suddenly turned red, his heartbeat was like a drum, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Fu’s hand.
Jiang Fu’s fingertips were only a centimeter away from him, then a few slender vines came out fiercely, pulling on the slender wrist with a fierce force. The white, delicate hand disappeared again in front of Zhou Zheng.
It was like a moonlight bird flying away from the window, missing it without even before being able to see it.
Zhou Zheng’s heart was so tight that he didn’t have time to retaliate and saw the vine at the fist-shaped hole suddenly come to life, like a dragon guarding its beloved treasure. The dragon-like vines quickly knitted, once again closing the gap tightly.
At the same time, a cold voice came from a short distance behind him.
“It sure takes a long time to wash your hands, Captain Zhou.”
The long figure of a man with one hand in his pocket and a faint smile on his handsome face looked harmless and gentle, but Zhou Zheng tensed up the moment he appeared, and his right hand instinctively bent slightly, a stressful action in the face of terrible danger.
“Professor Yuan, what are you hiding from us?”
Zhou Zheng’s voice was extremely tense, and he looked straight at him with a pair of stern eyes.
Yuan Chen pulled up the corners of his lips and scoffed lightly.
“This is my private matter. There’s no need to report to Captain Zhou, right?”
“Jiang Fu is the one I rescued, I have the right to guarantee his safety!”
Zhou Zheng retorted harshly, and the moment he spoke, he had an inexplicable courage, as if he had the privilege to do certain things.
But Yuan Chen’s face darkened violently at his words, and all the polite smiles disappeared without a trace. Staring at Zhou Zheng with eyes as cold as iron, he said faintly.
“Jiang Fu is my man, it’s not your place to speak.”
“Impossible! You absolutely forced him!”
Against the appalling pressure emanating from Yuan Chen’s body, Zhou Zheng stared at him with a torch-like gaze, gritted his trembling teeth and retorted in a deep voice.
Yuan Chen sneered and slowly said.
“Yeah, well, do you want to hear him say it again himself?”
When Zhou Zheng was startled and didn’t know how to respond, the doorbell of his room suddenly rang frantically. Lu Tian, who was closest to the door, opened it and poked his head out. After a few words with the person outside, he turned pale and shouted back at the two of them.
“Not good! Shi Sang has escaped!”
The tense and hostile atmosphere was suddenly diluted, and Zhou Zheng glanced at the vines in the inner room with a tight frown, clenching his teeth. Then he strode toward Yuan Chen and urged him in a low voice that only two people could hear.
“Go take care of Shi Sang’s matter first, and we’ll continue the conversation when we come back.”
Yuan Chen snorted lightly and side-stepped to let him go first.
Zhou Zheng looked at him with a sunken face and left the room first, suppressing all thoughts of hatred.
He was the person in charge of the base, and he could not delay the safety of everyone in the base just because he was obsessed with the private affairs of Yuan Chen and Jiang Fu.
After all the irrelevant people disappeared from the room, Yuan Chen walked towards the inner room without any delay. The vines in front of him automatically parted in sequence, revealing an open interior.
Looking from the doorway, Zhou Zheng could only see him bending over and talking to someone inside. His gentle eyebrows revealed a doting expression, and the relentless love and affection was like a cotton net that completely wrapped people up.
After whispering instructions for a while, he finally smiled and coaxed.
“Chéng, be good, no more tantrums.”
The vines rewrapped the room in obedience to their master’s will. The sound of heavy footsteps drifted away, and the door was locked with a click and a long silence fell again.
…………..
When Jiang Fu leaned back slowly, the vine on his wrist suddenly tightened, pulling him forward for fear that he might escape.
Jiang Fu blinked and whispered.
“It’s kind of uncomfortable for me, I want to change my position.”
The fine soft vine twisted a few times as if it was in serious thought, and after a little while, it loosened a little.
Jiang Fu turned over, his arm resting on his head, lying dazed on the soft bed.
The vines around him were extremely fascinated by his white, gentle skin, and like a lonely child, snuggled up to him and rubbed against him. The sticky, moist plant liquids stained his body and had not dried up since the first day he entered the room.
Yuan Chen was gentle, patient, thoughtful and considerate, and with the ubiquitous vine as his little assistant, Jiang Fu enjoyed lying about lazily for more than half a month. It’s so relaxing that he lost all his life skills.
Ugh… Other than always being tired and having back pain and legs that won’t close together, everything was fine.
He petted the sliding vines in his palm, indolently gesturing with his face.
“Wanna eat chips.”
The vine shuddered at his touch, then darted towards a pile of snacks on the couch not far away, accurately wrapped a few bags of chips and then retracted, neatly tearing open the bag of chips before eagerly stuffing them into the arms of Jiang Fu.
After eating and drinking for a while, Jiang Fu pinched the branches of the vine and reportedly said.
“I’m going to the bathroom.”
As his white feet touched the deep black carpet, naughty vines tangled and tickled his feet with every step. Jiang Fu muttered stepping on his feet to avoid them and bent down to lightly hit them.
“Stop scratching, it’s ticklish.”
His voice wrapped in laughter could cause one to shiver, lightly warming their heart with his attractive voice.
The vines paused for a moment, then sprang up and wrapped themselves around his supple waist, dragging the unsteady man straight into the bathroom.
Disordered breaths and hasty struggles could be heard from behind the frosted bathroom glass door, where only the silhouette of a slim man could be seen plastered on the door. Vague and ambiguous cries in the bathroom were covered up by the increasingly loud shower sounds.
An hour later, Jiang Fu cowered in his bed in a daze and slept, his scattered black hair still wet, his slightly furrowed brow revealed a pitiful weakness.
He moved around a little and changed several positions, still feeling uncomfortable. He could only bury his head in the blanket and muffle a small cry.
“Yuan Yuan, you’re a big bad guy. You just know how to bully me.”
The vines outside the nest circled around him, unsure of what to do, and then carefully burrowed under the covers, skillfully found Jiang Fu’s lower back and applied light and heavy pressure, trying to massage it. Another vine tried to curry favour by taking initiative to lean closer to his palm and allowed him to squeeze it in an indignant manner.
Jiang Fu raised his head from the nest and reprimanded the rarely well-behaved vine with a straight face.
“Yuan Yuan, I’ll be angry if you go too far in the future. I really can’t take it anymore.”
The vine was anxiously squirming its green body, as if it couldn’t suppress its inner desire but was hindered by Jiang Fu’s warning. The only thing it could do was to move towards Jiang Fu inch by inch, secretly hooking his little thumb and rubbing it.
Jiang Fu shook off the slimy vines and muttered.
“I’ve decided I’m not going to talk to you until you come back.”
He rolled over slowly and continued to sulk with his back to the vine. The vine clumsily touched him a few times and found no response, so it slumped down on the bed and quieten down close to his back.
Okay but why am I finding the vines cute?

Thanks for the chapter!!!
This arc is fairly good, but it’s not as interesting as the first Arc in my opinion. This is a bit boring, but it’s still enjoyable. I really appreciate the effort you might have put in this Arc. Thank you for the Chapter Author-nim.
