Could It Be That I Don't Want to Be a Big Shot? [Just Practicing, Don't Read]

[Super straightforward, warm, secretly flirtatious, powerful mutant special forces captain gong x cold on the outside but warm on the inside, tragic first-generation esper shou who only wants to raise his son, live a laid-back life, and grow old in peace]

An unknown meteorite fell to Earth, and an experiment caused humanity to mutate and evolve across the globe. The sky remained overcast and gloomy, thriving cities became ruins, and millions of zombies and monsters ran rampant...

The world was vast and full of dangers. For now, the survivors could only settle in one small corner and wait for the dawn to dispel the thick darkness...

Xu Jinghan, originally named Lin Qiu, was a first-generation esper. To evade pursuit by a laboratory, he concealed his identity and became a cardiothoracic surgeon at Hual Center Hospital.

For the past ten years, Xu Jinghan had hoped to live an ordinary life. He never expected that one patient's arrival would shatter his peace completely. The viruses reacted to one another, awakening the A-virus suppressed in Xu Jinghan's body for ten years and sending him into a deep sleep as he underwent a second evolution.

When Xu Jinghan woke up again, a month had passed. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw his Samoyed, eyes blood-red and covered in blood, devouring the neighbor's corpse...

Xu Jinghan looked at the dog with a cold expression. Its upper half was still a dog, but its lower half had already turned into two human legs. "You're my dog, Pace?"

Pace looked down at his evolved human form and tilted his head in confusion. "Woof... woof woof...?"

After learning from Pace that the city had fallen and was overrun by zombies, Xu Jinghan focused on finding his family so he could take them somewhere safe and spend the rest of their lives in peace. But after his identity as a first-generation esper was exposed, one problem after another came knocking. The most troublesome was Yan Ting, a special forces captain who was also an esper...

Avoidance notes:

- This story is entirely fictional and has no connection to reality. Please don't confuse it with real life.

- One-on-one romance. The shou never officially registered his marriage, only held a wedding ceremony, and his son is not biologically his. The gong had a girlfriend in the past, but they broke up long ago.

- The cover is a commissioned character design. Do not use it without permission.

- I can't think of any other warnings for now.

Premise: Believe that warmth can be found everywhere in this world!
