Through an abandoned corridor, Lin Yunfeng bolts desperately as Ren Muchen chases him down. His heart pounds with each stride, legs burning as he flees from the man whose bed he'd shared. "You think running will change anything?" Muchen's voice booms behind him, furious over Yunfeng's attempted escape. "After what happened between us, you dare flee?" Gasping for breath, Yunfeng clutches his stomach protectively. "It was just a mistake—like stepping on shit—please, just let me go!" His pleas fall on deaf ears as Muchen closes in. Suddenly, Yunfeng's eyes widen in horror. A corpse blocks his path, half-decomposed and grotesque. His feet skid across the slippery ground, unable to stop, and he crashes forward violently. A zombie lunges, its mouth agape and dripping with blood-soaked saliva. Yunfeng freezes, trapped beneath the creature. This is real—not from books or stories, but a genuine encounter with the undead. Death feels certain as the beast snaps toward his neck. Then an axe flashes through the air, severing the zombie's decaying spine. Muchen appears above him, covered in gore, eyes blazing with dark intensity. "You're not dying," he declares, grabbing Yunfeng's collar and hauling him up. "Not today. Not ever." He meets Yunfeng's terrified gaze with cold certainty. "You want to know why?" His next words shatter Yunfeng's world: "Because we're having a baby." Yunfeng's hands fly to his stomach in shock. Muchen's grip tightens, a dangerous smirk crossing his face. "You already knew, didn't you? Yet you still ran from me?" He shakes Yunfeng forcefully. "Now take responsibility. We made a life that night." Yunfeng nods weakly, finally surrendering to the truth.
