Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Chapter 33 (Update 1)...

Building a nest to seek a mate, but suspected of having insects.

Yingliu racked his brains but never expected the situation to develop like this.

"I am an angel."

He gritted his teeth, spread his wings, and tried hard to show off his strength and beauty:

"Why do I have worms?!"

Luo Shizhen: "You picked up so many branches to build your nest, did you wash them?"

Ying Liu was speechless for a moment: "Who washes branches when building a nest?"

"If you don't wash them, there will be insect eggs on the branches. Some insects will have already hatched, but they're just hiding inside the branches, so you can't see them."

Luo Shizhen is very serious about popularizing the science of Yingliu:

"In fact, even if I wash it, it's useless. These little bugs hidden inside can't be washed out."

He didn't have many friends before he met Chu Xiao, and his grandmother was worried about him going out to play alone, so when Luo Shizhen was a child, he often picked up branches and played in the yard.

Not only can tree branches be played with, they can also be used to make fire. Luo Shizhen once saw a bug crawling out of a tree branch when he was helping his grandmother make a fire while she was cooking.

He was shocked and told his grandmother about this new discovery.

Then his grandmother wouldn't let him take the straight, beautiful branches he'd picked up to bed.

Ying Liu: “…”

After hearing what Luo Shizhen said, he also started to feel uncomfortable all over.

The crimson wings flapped as if trying to find the possible insect.

The doctor quickly handed me some insect repellent spray: "Just in case, let's get rid of the insects."

"You don't have your own territory yet, and you can't guarantee that you've expelled everyone around you. There's a real chance you'll be infected by parasites."

Ying Liu glanced at Luo Shizhen and said, "I will have my own field sooner or later."

Luo Shi really didn't understand why he focused on this, but he still replied politely:

"OK."

The doctor places the spray on the table:

"Classmate, spray it on yourself. It's better to spray it on your hair too."

He works at the Awakened School and has long developed the good habit of not touching students.

Ying Liu agreed, and the doctor considerately stepped aside.

When Yingliu brought the insect repellent spray over, he found that his wings were too big and it was impossible for him to maintain a handsome and calm body posture to spray the spray.

Unless he is willing to twist his body into a pretzel.

But how could he do this in front of his mate!

Ying Liu tried several times but failed to do it with an elegant posture. Seeing Luo Shizhen sitting opposite him and watching his movements curiously, he felt ashamed and angry.

"Stop spraying!"

Luo Shizhen suddenly realized: "Yingliu, can't you reach it yourself?"

This is a matter of dignity. Ying Liu was just about to say, "What do you mean by out of reach? There's nothing out of reach. How can I not reach it?" when he saw Luo Shizhen stand up.

He said in a friendly manner: "If you can't reach it, I'll help you spray it."

Ying Liu: "...Yes, I can't reach it."

Luo Shizhen picked up the spray, carefully read the instructions on it, and confirmed that he could spray it directly. Then he walked to Ying Liu's left wing, supported his wing with one hand, and aimed the spray at him with the other hand and sprayed it gently.

Ying Liu's wings trembled.

"Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Luo Shizhen felt the trembling of the wings under his hands and asked, "I will be gentler."

"Well, no."

For some reason, Ying Liu's voice became softer, and his aura was not as extroverted and flamboyant as before.

Luo Shizhen has always been very serious about his work.

He sprayed the insect repellent carefully, starting from the angel's wing feathers. Even the fragile little feathers that were originally covered by the wings were gently found by Luo Shizhen, and he sprayed the medicine on them gently.

This is a very strange experience for Yingliu.

For the awakened ones in the angel sequence, wings are the key to unleashing their abilities, and everyone will cherish and protect their wings.

Even his brother had never touched every corner of Yingliu's wings so carefully and closely.

Patiently checking every part like this, I won't get anxious because his wings are too big and the workload is too heavy...

At first, Ying Liu's wings trembled from time to time because he felt uncomfortable and unaccustomed. Later, perhaps he gradually got used to being treated gently and became obedient.

It would even raise the bottom of its wings consciously when Luo Shizhen wanted to lift them, making it easier for him to move.

This posture might still be a bit awkward, but he didn't seem to care that much.

"Shi Zhen."

Luo Shizhen heard Ying Liu suddenly ask, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Luo Shizhen raised his head from behind Hongyu: "It's just a small favor. It's normal for classmates to help each other."

Ying Liu asked quietly, "Can you also help me spray the insect repellent later?"

"Of course."

Luo Shizhen just helped with this small favor.

He agreed readily, but Ying Liu inexplicably felt a sense of panic, loss, and faint regret in his heart.

I shouldn't have been so hasty in courting you just now.

Because he wanted to succeed in courting before his brother, he didn't prepare anything properly. He didn't wash the branches used to build the nest, and he didn't dress himself properly.

Originally, Ying Liu was just a little confused and ashamed because of the failure of his courtship, but now after feeling Luo Shizhen's gentle treatment, regret surged from the bottom of his heart like a spring.

Luo Shizhen, seems to be really good.

No wonder my brother likes him.

He should have been more serious when courting.

Luo Shizhen carefully helped Ying Liu spray the medicine, then he remembered to ask him:

"Why did you suddenly want to build a nest? Is it because you're an Angel, so you like to sleep in a nest like a bird?"

Ying Liu hesitated for a moment and wanted to ask Luo Shizhen what he thought about the nest, but he felt a little discouraged.

What else are you asking? Just look at how he pulled himself over to get rid of the parasites, and you'll know what he thinks.

His wings drooped slightly, but his hands did not stop moving as he quickly took off the various gems that decorated his body.

Most of these gems are very valuable, including rubies, sapphires, peridots, and even emeralds.

Some of it was earned from taking external orders, and some was earned from asking Lu Qiujin to take "orders to beat her younger brother". He accumulated it over a period of time and now has a big pile.

This huge handful was brought to Luo Shizhen.

Luo Shizhen looked at the colorful gems in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"These are all for you!"

Ying Liu was actually still a little bit upset. Ever since he awakened, he had been very fond of shiny things. Compared to his brother who could still restrain himself, he would do anything to search for gems everywhere and collect them.

Now I have to send these away, and my instinct makes my heart ache.

But his instinct also told him that if he wanted to find a partner, he had to give his treasures away.

He felt pain in his heart, but after seeing Luo Shizhen's dark and bright eyes, he instantly forgot the pain.

"This is my first time building a nest too. I have no experience and haven't considered the problem of insects. Next time, I will clean all the materials before building the nest. These gems are for you first. Once I finish building the nest, I will put more gems in it."

Ying Liu looked at Luo Shizhen and asked expectantly:

"Next time I build a clean nest without bugs, will you come back with me?"

Luo Shizhen was confused: "But, if you like to sleep in the nest, you can go by yourself, why do you want me to go with you?"

He said honestly, "I prefer sleeping in a bed. Besides, sleeping in a tree is so dangerous. I'm not like you. I don't have wings. If I fall, it will be terrible."

"I won't let you fall!"

Ying Liu was so anxious that he even forgot to feel sorry for the gem: "Even if you fall, I will protect you!"

Luo Shizhen: "Well, I don't like sleeping in trees either. You can find a classmate who likes sleeping in trees to sleep with you."

Ying Liu said anxiously: "How could I possibly seek a mate with someone else? I only seek you!"

Luo Shizhen was confused: "Courtship?"

He was a little confused: "You asked me to sleep in the tree, are you trying to woo me?"

"Is it the kind of courtship you see in books? Like, like falling in love and getting married?"

Ying Liu was startled: "Marriage..."

He pursed his lips nervously, but also a little excited, even completely forgetting his brother:

"If you want to get married, let's get the marriage certificate right away. I also have a car, and I'll give it to you too!"

"No no no! Wait wait!"

Luo Shizhen waved his hand, his face that always showed a soft heart now looked very firm:

"You are a man, and I am a man too."

"How can men marry each other?"

Ying Liu was slightly stunned and noticed Luo Shizhen's attitude, but he still couldn't believe it.

He spoke more carefully than before, observing Luo Shizhen's expression while he spoke carefully:

"We can just hold the wedding without getting a marriage certificate. It's all the same. I heard the country will allow same-sex marriage certificates soon. How about we catch up then?"

Luo Shi really didn't quite understand, but luckily Xiao Shan had said something similar before, and after trying to understand it, he finally got it a little bit.

"So, you like men, right?"

Ying Liu cleverly copied a love phrase he had seen online before: "I don't like men, I like you!"

Luo Shizhen patted his chest and said, "I am a man. Didn't you recognize me? I can prove to you that I am a man."

Strange, could it be that Ying Liu mistook him for a woman?

But he is as strong as a bull, how can you admit your mistake?

And aren’t there any female students in the school?

Ying Liu: "...I mean, no matter what gender you are, I like you."

"Oh, I see."

Luo Shizhen scratched his head: "But I'm a straight man, can you like other men?"

Ying Liu: “…”

Ying Liu: “…”

He was struck by lightning: "You, you are straight?"

"Yeah, straight means you like girls, right? I am a straight man. I want to get married and have kids in the future. I'm sorry, there's no way I can fall in love with you."

Luo Shizhen said this and took a step back:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked men."

***

In the confinement room, Xiao Shan was lying there bored and wanted to fight, but he had no strength left from the training during the day.

He turned over and suddenly asked Chu Xiao in the distance.

"Chu Xiao, do you like men?"

Chu Xiao closed his eyes, but answered quickly: "I don't like it."

Xiao Shan: "? You obviously like Shi Zhen!"

Chu Xiao asked back: "Then do you like men?"

Xiao Shan: "I don't like it."

Chu Xiao asked again: "If Shi Zhen likes men, would you like it?"

Xiao Shan hesitated for a moment.

Wait, why is he hesitating?

Xiao Shan shouted, "What do you mean by asking this? Are you questioning my brotherhood with Shi Zhen?"

Rong Nian also joined in: "Chu Xiao, don't spread rumors. How could my master like men? He only likes to raise mermaids."

Xiao Shan said angrily, "Don't spread rumors. I've already said that Shi Zhen just took pity on you and marked you. He has no intention of raising you."

The two started arguing again.

The energy of the awakened one is like squeezing water out of a sponge. It seems as if it has been drained out by the heavy training, but if you squeeze it a little more, you can squeeze some out.

While they were arguing, Chu Xiao quieted down and stopped talking. He only thought to himself that it was a pity.

In this confinement room, there is a brotherhood, a master-pet relationship, and no one directly admits that they like men.

What a pity.

Chu Xiao was not worried that someone who was gay from the beginning would appear in front of Luo Shizhen.

What he feared were "straight men" like Xiao Shan and Rong Nian.

When being impacted by internal pollution, Chu Xiao would impulsively want to confess, but after regaining his sanity, he would not mention any confession again.

Falling in love with Luo Shizhen is a thing that is destined to be happy, but also destined to be unfortunate.

Because I like him, I can only stay by his side and treat him well slowly, hoping that one day he will suddenly come to his senses.

If I confess...

Chu Xiao knew very well what the stubborn Luo Shi would really do when faced with a confession from a same-sex person.

***

Infirmary.

Luo Shizhen’s way of thinking is very straightforward. A man likes another man = this man looking at other men is equivalent to a “normal man” looking at other women.

In this case, it is impolite to have physical contact with the other person, just like he and the female classmates can chat, talk and clean the classroom together.

But the female classmates would hug each other and hold hands when going to the toilet, but Luo Shizhen, as a boy, was not allowed to do that.

Men who like men are in the same situation as girls, and they are within the range of "no physical contact, as it will offend others".

"I'm so sorry to have bumped into you just now."

Luo Shizhen pushed the insect repellent spray forward, always keeping a certain distance from Ying Liu.

He is still very friendly, and his eyes are still as gentle as a cute and harmless lamb.

But what he said made Ying Liu stand there in a daze.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with the spray anymore. Please find someone else."

"I will be careful next time and keep my distance from you."
