King of the Wilderness

Chapter 81: Chapter 80: Passion After Suppression

The embrace lasted for a long, long time, until Aliya gently moved in his arms.

Only then did he slowly release his embrace, looked down, and gazed at her intently. Then, he lowered his head and deeply kissed her soft lips.

Subsequently, the longing and passion suppressed for over three months erupted like kindling set ablaze, bursting into hot flames instantly.

The kiss became deep and lingering, filled with possessiveness and a desire to claim.

Lin Yu’an tightly held her waist with one hand, while the other hand began to roam restlessly.

Aliya responded to him passionately, her hands encircling his neck, her fingertips deeply intertwined in his slightly tousled black hair.

She could clearly feel that suppressed force within him, full of strength and primal desire.

As their lips parted, both were slightly breathless, their foreheads touching, breaths mingling.

”I missed you, darling, every day,” Aliya’s eyes shimmered, her voice tinged with a touch of husky emotion.

”I did too,” Lin Yu’an’s voice was equally deep, gently caressing her slightly swollen lips from the kiss with his thumb.

Aliya let out a small whimper, instinctively tightening her hold around his neck.

”Careful...the babies...”

”Don’t worry, I will be careful.”

Aliya blushed and panted heavily, her fair skin flushed with a different kind of redness.

Lin Yu’an lay on the soft bed, feeling the cool breeze from the modern technology air conditioner.

Listening to the faint hustle of the city outside the window, it felt to him like a lifetime away.

Aliya’s cheeks were still flushed with emotion, as she lay on Lin Yu’an’s solid chest.

With her fingertips, she gently drew circles on the chest muscles that had become more robust from long-term labor, feeling his strong heartbeat.

”Darling, welcome home. I can’t believe it, you really did it! You persevered till the end!”

She pressed her cheek against his chest, her voice slightly husky, lazy and contented.

Lin Yu’an gently caressed her smooth blonde hair, holding her a little tighter.

”Hmm, I’m home. My victory owes half to you and the kids, and I’m also very grateful to have reunited with you.”

Aliya didn’t notice his slip of the tongue, perhaps too tired.

”Darling, do you want to pick an English name? I hear them call your name, their accent is so weird~”

”Sure, why don’t you pick one for me?”

”Hmm...how about Hermann? A cool German name, meaning warrior, you’re the strongest warrior in my heart now!”

”Herman. Hmm, sounds great, then let’s go with my darling Aliya’s choice.”

After sharing their heartfelt feelings, they said nothing more, simply enjoying this long-lost, peaceful intimacy.

To them, the embrace at this moment expressed their longing for each other more than any words could.

The next morning.

Lin Yu’an’s internal clock woke him from a deep sleep early.

Beside him, Aliya was still sleeping quietly, and he got up carefully without disturbing her, then walked to the living room.

He found his iPhone X in the drawer, which had been turned off since before the competition, ready to return to the world of the internet.

Once the phone was fully powered on and connected to the apartment’s Wi-Fi, a storm of information swept in!

”Buzz buzz buzz—buzz buzz buzz—”

The phone vibrated wildly in his hand, notifications from various social apps popping up like mushrooms after the rain.

WeChat, Facebook, WhatsApp, texts...innumerable unread messages rushed into the device that had been silent for over three months.

He first opened WeChat, seeing messages from his Chinese classmates, from initial inquiries about his sudden disappearance to later expressions of shock and encouragement after seeing the show’s broadcast.

”Lin! This is crazy! You actually went to participate in ’Alone in the Wilderness’! Awesome!”

”Brother An, I’m a student! Could you send me some prize money~~ Wow, you’ve made us Chinese international students so proud! Get me an autograph when you’re back!”

”Lin, stay safe out there! We’re watching the show and rooting for you!”

Several close friends and classmates from back home sent messages filled with concern and worry.

”Anzi, amazing! All those times we went catching pheasants together as kids paid off! Let’s go hiking when you get back!”

”Bro, you’re incredible! I’ll treat you to a barbecue when you return!”

Lin Yu’an patiently browsed through these messages filled with kindness and concern, a wave of warmth rising in his heart.

He replied selectively to a few of his closest friends, assuring them that he had returned safely, all was well, and thanked them for their concern.

After handling these instant messaging notifications, he opened his email.

The inbox was equally filled with various emails, from school notifications to various website subscriptions.

As he quickly scrolled and cleared out the junk mail, one email with a distinct subject line grabbed his full attention.

Lin Yu’an read the email word by word, his expression shifting from initial surprise to a thoughtful excitement.

He thought that if he accepted Mark’s recommendation to participate in ’Life Below Zero’, editing scenes of such a life into long videos, it would indeed be a new way to earn money.

Specific details might need more detailed planning.
