Yandere Begs for a Break – Part Three

Tao Yu’s eyes filled with a smile, then became somewhat puzzled. 　　After these days of investigation and interaction, she could sense that this alternate personality had many pure qualities, with a soft and kind heart that always left some leeway for others, making him the least authoritarian city lord among all previous lords of Wuhuan City. 　　It was precisely because of his good temper and kindness that people of the same age felt no restraint when interacting with him, and this city that seemed both ancient and modern had thus not developed a strong sense of hierarchy. 　　This was an alternate personality who had grown up smoothly, receiving only kindness from those around him since childhood, and exhibiting an extremely proper and gentle character. So where did his underlying aggression come from? 　　Just as Tao Yu was pondering this, she suddenly heard Yue Linze chuckle softly. She suddenly came to her senses and found herself already in his arms. Tao Yu looked up and saw his white teeth, his smile unobscured even in the dark night. 　　Tao Yu laughed: “Why are you happy?” 　　”I’m holding you, of course I’m happy,” he said, then suddenly became shy, pulling her closer to himself, whispering, “If we stay close, maybe the child will come sooner.” 　　”You want a child that much?” Tao Yu raised an eyebrow. 　　Yue Linze answered honestly: “Children are fun. We can teach him to ride horses, shoot arrows, read and write, and also learn Buddhist scriptures. It would be great. Of course, if he doesn’t like these, he can do other things, like…” 　　He grew more excited as he spoke. Although Tao Yu found it amusing, she was anxious, noticing the night growing deeper, wanting to go to the morgue, but he showed no sign of sleeping. 　　After a while, she gritted her teeth and interrupted him: “Do you know we can’t have a child like this?” 　　Yue Linze was stunned, his smile instantly vanishing: “Why?” 　　Tao Yu’s mouth moved, finally biting his ear and breathing softly: “Because making a child requires doing some other things.” 　　Yue Linze blinked, looking confused at her, then suddenly felt something being grasped, causing him to shiver and panic: “What are you doing?” 　　”Shh, don’t speak. Leave everything to me,” Tao Yu interrupted, concentrating on exhausting his energy. 　　Half an hour later, Yue Linze, who had been resolved twice, had a flushed face and spring-like eyes, looking at Tao Yu. After a while, he softly said: “…I used to do this myself, but not as comfortable as you did.” 　　”Want more?” Tao Yu, her arm already sore, was wiping her palm and looked up to ask. 　　Yue Linze quickly said: “No, I’m tired.” 　　This was exactly what Tao Yu wanted. After cleaning up, she lay down on his shoulder, patting the blanket and softly said: “You’re tired, go to sleep. You should be sleepy now.” 　　”Mmm…” Yue Linze responded, then hesitated after a while: “Will we have a child this way?” 　　Tao Yu’s hand paused, then she opened her eyes and lied: “Of course.” The child’s sex education was clearly lacking, but now was not the time to explain, and she was afraid Yue Linze might want to try again, trapping her for the night. 　　”But how is a child conceived?” Yue Linze’s voice was full of confusion. 　　Tao Yu’s mouth twitched: “Transmitted through my fingers.” 　　Yue Linze said “Oh” and was about to ask more, but Tao Yu interrupted: “Shut up, sleep!” 　　Yue Linze immediately closed his mouth, silently laughing like a mouse that had stolen oil, hugging Tao Yu tightly and closing his eyes to sleep. 　　This time, after releasing his excitement, he quickly fell asleep. Tao Yu waited for his breathing to become steady, then softly called: “Linze?” 　　After calling several times with no response, Tao Yu carefully rolled off him, confirming he was truly asleep before putting on her shoes and running outside. 　　When the door opened and closed, making a slight noise, the sleeping Yue Linze suddenly opened his eyes, lay quietly for a moment, then closed them again, as if that moment was just a sleepwalk. 　　Tao Yu ran nervously outside, encountering no one along the way. Due to Wuhuan City’s good order, there were no night patrols. She successfully climbed over a relatively low wall behind the government office and entered. 　　Only after entering the office did she sit down and breathe silently, the slightly cool air entering her mouth and stimulating her throat. After resting a while, she walked towards the morgue, grateful that the government office wasn’t too far from home, or she would have been exhausted from running. 　　Entering the morgue, Tao Yu immediately saw Zhou Ying’s body still lying on the table. The corpse seemed to have been repositioned by the coroner since their last visit, looking slightly different. Tao Yu felt uneasy but still approached. 　　Zhou Ying was lying face down, the wound exposed to the air and slightly discolored. Tao Yu borrowed the moonlight to look, then lit a candle and slowly brought the light closer to the wound. 　　Indeed, as the coroner said, it looked like a wound from a sharp stone, with stone fragments and sand around the wound, and the wound shape matching the nearby stones. Reasonably, it seemed he had fallen in shallow water, landed back-first on a stone, struggled to move away, but ultimately succumbed to exhaustion and drowned. 　　Tao Yu frowned, feeling this explanation, while plausible, was too coincidental to be convincing. 　　Thinking this, she began examining the wound again and indeed discovered something. On the bloody, blurry flesh, there were faint burn marks, not very obvious, but definitely present. 　　If Zhou Ying truly slipped and fell on a stone, where did these burn marks come from? Surely not accidentally made by the coroner during examination.
