I really like Chapter 75.

"...You...are really...being horny..."

With Lin Yao gripping his neck, Xie Dai felt like he was suffocating. Sometimes he really hated his own factory settings.

Why can't they learn to tell a little lie? Although the master's heart was racing and he was having trouble breathing, and he looked like he was having a great time, he absolutely could not say such a thing.

I can't control my mouth.

"Wrong... wrong..." Xie Dai felt like he was about to be strangled.

Zhuang Lang took the elevator and pressed the button for the ninth floor. Xie Xingchen released the person in his arms, looked down, and his eyes were like knives. He was at odds with that bird again.

She thought her cold expression was incredibly cute.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?" Lin Yao said coldly.

"No, you already were!" Xie Dai said, then covered his mouth and changed the subject with difficulty, "Your temperature is rising, you were already running a fever!"

Lin Yao was finally satisfied and explained, "It's normal for body temperature to rise occasionally because we're still in the stress period."

It was definitely not because Xie Xingchen hugged him like that.

Xie Dai was drenched in sweat, cold sweat pouring down his face.

The fact that it can force a mechanical pet to change its tune is incredibly oppressive. It's clear that the will to survive really shines when faced with death.

"Are you feeling unwell? Should we go back first?" Xie Xingchen stared at the elevator going up and said in a low voice, "There are security cameras inside, so we can't show our faces."

Xie Dai raised his wings, looking like he was going to lead the whole thing, and whispered like they were, "I can fly up here quietly! There are a lot of pink birds flying around in the lab, but they have a recall function. I secretly uninstalled it myself, hehe. You guys wait for me outside, I'll go take a look."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you, the most powerful bird king." Xie Xingchen really knew how to coax.

"You're quite the smooth talker, so you do have some redeeming qualities." Xie Daixiong walked away with a limp, looking very proud and confident.

Lin Yao clicked his tongue softly. Oh well, this stupid bird is still somewhat useful, so I'll let it go for now.

They left the underground parking lot and found a secluded spot to wait for the scout to return.

"Is it reliable?" Lin Yao had a headache just thinking about that outspoken idiot. "What if it has a surveillance camera on it? Our whereabouts might be exposed."

Xie Xingchen raised his hand to check his temperature on his forehead, and it had actually gone down again, which was unbelievable, but he was relieved.

He then analyzed, "If someone really wanted to monitor us, they could have installed equipment everywhere in the cabin, and it would have been exposed long ago. It can even disable its own recall function, so the surveillance system must have been removed long ago."

Lin Yao thought about it and agreed.

The waiting time was boring, so he looked at Xie Xingchen beside him. It was still dark at three or four in the morning, and only a faint light fell on his profile. His gaze lingered on him.

When he's not talking, he looks fairly decent-looking.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Xingchen noticed his gaze but didn't turn around, instead fiddling with the communicator that had no signal.

Lin Yao quickly moved away, landing hastily in the distance over the sea: "I'm looking at the Wishing Island that Xie Dai mentioned."

Xie Xingchen looked up and glanced at him: "Didn't you say you didn't believe me? Why are you looking again?"

You can't exactly say you were so engrossed in watching him that you were completely absorbed.

It's so eerie, just like the erratic heartbeat I felt when I was being carried on my back.

Lin Yao could only turn his head to look at the blurry island in the distance: "I don't believe it, but I'm also quite curious whether there really is that kind of thing on the island. Wishing crystal, it sounds like nonsense."

"If you want to know, let's go and see together," Xie Xingchen said.

“If I don’t go, it’ll be like Santa Claus – he’s definitely not real,” Lin Yao said calmly.

Because he was the same person who, when he was around ten years old, worked illegally, sneaking into the Santa Claus dollhouse to hand out gifts. He remained indifferent as he watched the children's joy at receiving their presents.

There is no Santa Claus in the world. He had hoped for one when he was younger, but in the end, he was disappointed and found out it was all a hoax.

Xie Dai stumbled back, flapping his wings and running towards Xie Xingchen's hand: "Quick, quick, let's go, we almost got caught."

When it escaped back to the cabin, it was still trembling, looking like it had just escaped death: "They seemed to be plotting something. A large group of people came in the middle of the night, and I even saw many pink birds being fitted with listening devices."

"I guessed it." Lin Yao stared at him. "Anything else? Zhuang Lang, what did that guy just do?"

Xie Dai spread his wings and said, "I don't know."

What are the other labs doing?

"have no idea."

"Where will the pink bird that was listening be sent?"

"have no idea."

Lin Yao took a couple of breaths and tried to put on a friendly expression: "It's okay, it's already great to have found out even one piece of information."

Ah, that expression, is it for end-of-life care?

"Am I going to be killed because I'm too useless?!" Xie Dai trembled as he grabbed Xie Xingchen's clothes. "Save me, save me, save me."

Lin Yao raised his hand to support the corner of his mouth, looking bewildered: "Do I look that scary?"

Xie Xingchen chuckled silently, knowing that true emotional intelligence means knowing when to shut up.

Xie Dai learned his lesson and covered his mouth with his hand, afraid of saying anything outrageous again.

To mend the relationship, Lin Yao patted the wooden bed and lay back down: "It's not dawn yet. I've finished my mission, so come and get some sleep."

His body was very weak during his heat, and he finally understood the weakness of an Omega. He also inexplicably developed a distant connection with Xie Xingchen, who was hospitalized for a week at that time.

Xie Dai stared wide-eyed, moved over step by step, and carefully squatted down next to his cheek, only to see Lin Yao relax and close his eyes.

He's really asleep! He's definitely handsome, so good-looking! Such long eyelashes, such a straight nose, and his skin looks amazing even up close. I really want to lick it...

Xie Xingchen reached out and pinched its tongue, mouthing a silent threat: "Don't do anything reckless. I'm going out for a bit. You stay with him."

"Received." Xie Dai raised his hand in salute, dutifully keeping an eye on Lin Yao as he slept.

When she's not speaking, she's practically a goddess of beauty.

After staring for three hours without waking up, Xie Dai silently took two more steps forward, resting his head against Lin Yao's cheek.

Finally, I got to get close to a handsome guy. It felt so good.

Lin Yao, who had a shallow sense of smell, opened his eyes at the slightest touch, staring at the fluffy creature that had come closer, and looked around: "Where is Xie Xingchen?"

Xie Dai rubbed his cheek against his, looking delighted: "Not quite."

"How come you know nothing when I ask you this?" Lin Yao picked it up, got out of bed and walked to the door of the wooden house. The sky was still dark, but a faint rose-red light appeared in the distance.

Lin Yao simply sat on the threshold, casually propping his legs up, his fingers idly stroking Xie Dai's hair, unsure whether he was waiting for the sunrise or for someone.

"Xie Xingchen wouldn't have secretly called for help and just abandoned us, would he?" Xie Dai suddenly became alert.

"No," Lin Yao said confidently, then paused for a moment, "Probably not."

Xie Dai twisted and turned, looking like she had bumped into something: "You trust him so much, you really love him, you're just saying one thing but doing another."

Lin Yao: "...........Did you get implanted with a Cupid program? Why do you have to pair people up?"

Afraid of getting beaten up if he said anything more, Xie Dai looked up at the sky and changed the subject: "The sun is about to come out, it's so beautiful."

Lin Yao looked into the distance. A tear appeared in the dim sky, and a bright light tinged it with a rosy hue, connecting to the boundless sea. It was indeed beautiful.

Suddenly, a blurry shadow appeared in the surging waves, getting closer and closer until it became clearer.

Lin Yao suddenly stood up, and Xie Dai, who was sitting on his lap, fell to the ground in a daze. Dizzy, Xie Dai scrambled to his feet, grabbing Lin Yao's sleeve and crawling back into his palm: "Are you going to kill me, dear master?!"

Lin Yao rushed over and saw Xie Xingchen appear in the sea, swimming back towards him with all his might.

Amidst the waves, his strong, tanned arms and undulating shoulders exuded power.

"What are you doing in the sea?" He spoke so loudly for the first time, and his voice echoed through the vast emptiness around him.

Xie Xingchen didn't answer, but quickly swam to the shore, casually brushed his wet hair back, revealing his handsome eyebrows and eyes. He was dripping wet all over, from his chin to his lower abdomen, but he smiled brightly at her, exuding youthful spirit.

"Look what I found for you?"

Lin Yao was stunned as a pink crystal landed in his damp palm.

"Wishing Crystals!! I knew these things existed! You actually went to Wishing Island, swimming all that way?!" Xie Dai jumped up and down excitedly, grabbing Lin Yao's clothes and shaking him. "You've hit the jackpot!! Wishing Crystals!!"

Lin Yao remained silent, simply staring at him blankly.

Xie Xingchen strode towards him, his clothes damp from the wind, and said with a smile, "Are you dumbfounded? Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like it?"

Xie Dai's wings rested on his master's pulse, which was pounding violently. He looked up in disbelief and exclaimed in shock, "You've definitely fallen for...!"

Lin Yao reached out and covered its mouth, whispering, "Shut up, I know."

The crystals on Wishing Island don't necessarily grant wishes.

Just as there is no Santa Claus in the world, but there are always people willing to play the role, and today, he finally became the one who received the gift.

He looked at the pink crystal that was sparkling with water droplets, then looked up at Xie Xingchen who was waiting for an answer, his heart pounding so hard he could barely keep out the sound of the wind.

"I like it, I really like it."
