"General, this thunder and lightning, do you want to..."

The command center was blocked from the sounds of thunder and rain, but the lightning that seemed to split the night sky clearly illuminated the military camp again and again.

Ye Ruisheng stood in front of the huge glass wall, watching the raging lightning. "All fighter jets and aircraft are recalled and placed on standby at the military camp. If any team calls for help, provide assistance immediately."

The weather forecast system only predicted heavy rain, but did not predict it would be so severe. In such extreme weather, I am afraid that many teams will not be able to survive.

Ye Ruisheng was more worried about Jin Chu. Although he might not need to worry about him, he was still a little worried because there had been no reply to the message he sent more than ten minutes ago.

Jin Chu was still struggling with his uncontrollable body, trying hard to regain control. He didn't feel any pain, but the feeling of being weak and out of control was very uncomfortable. The rain that seemed so lovely just now also made him feel uncomfortable.

The thunder and lightning in the sky continued, but Jin Chu didn't dare to provoke it again. The energy of the previous thunder was still running around in his body.

It took him a while to hear the beeping sound of the communication request mixed in with the heavy rain and thunder.

He turned his head and looked at the light-emitting computer bracelet that was soaking in the puddle in the dark and kept flashing light. He reached for it with some difficulty because his fingers were sometimes long and sometimes short, and sometimes disappeared. It took him a long time to connect it.

Ye Ruisheng's voice came out immediately: "Jinchu, are you okay?"

The sound was a bit fuzzy and intermittent. The network coverage on this planet was just recently completed, and with this kind of weather, it was normal that the signal was poor.

Jinchu opened his mouth, but it took a long time for him to utter a word: "I...maybe, it's not so good."

He spoke slowly, but looking at his constantly changing body shape and the rain that was pouring down so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, he thought that in all his more than 1,030 years of life, he had never been so miserable.

Ye Ruisheng's voice immediately tightened, but he remained calm and composed: "Where are you? I'll pick you up... Let's keep talking. I'll locate you and come find you right away."

"Oh." Jin Chu panted and lay on the ground, then he felt that this was too embarrassing, and felt that the uncontrollable energy in his body seemed to have been digested a lot. He climbed up and sat down, not daring to go down the tree for fear of being struck by lightning again, so he just sat in the rain.

His hands and feet gradually regained consciousness and stopped changing shape. He raised them to his eyes and saw that they were in normal shape and appearance. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he remembered that he was not wearing any clothes and it would be embarrassing if Ye Ruisheng saw him. He grunted and forced himself to wear clothes made of energy.

After a while, a beam of light shone down from above his head, circling several times before finally covering Jin Chu. Then a dark figure jumped out of the beam of light.

It’s Ye Ruisheng.

Jin Chu squinted at him and said, "You came very quickly." He opened his mouth and all the rain fell into it. He spat twice and seemed to have swallowed some of it.

Ye Ruisheng couldn't tell what was wrong with Jin Chu, but if he was normal, he wouldn't be sitting in the rain with his knees hugged. He must be in a bad mood or feeling unwell. He reached out to pull him up: "Get up first, let's talk somewhere else."

But as soon as he pulled Jinchu, he found that his hand was very hot.

Jin Chu used to be cold, but he didn't have much warmth at all. Just like the two leaves he'd been given, his skin was always cool and moist. Although Ye Ruisheng hadn't really touched anyone before, he was sure that this was the first time he'd felt such heat. He was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

His hands were a little too strong, so Jin Chu pulled him up, but he still had no strength left and could not stand, so he slid to the ground. Ye Ruisheng hurriedly hugged him. He was soft, as if he had no bones or his bones were not well grown. It also felt like he was hugging a small sun, so hot.

"Jinchu! Jinchu!"

It was only when he hugged Jinchu that he realized how hot he was, and he mumbled, "Let me get wet in the rain for a while longer."

Ye Ruisheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly put him down and let him sit there by himself. He held on to the side. The aircraft he drove slowly descended and hung half a meter above the ground. The lights were off, and he was worried that someone would see them here.

He looked around. Even on a rainy night, his eyesight and mental power could still search the surrounding area quite far away. He didn't see the cat and didn't know where it had run off to.

After about half an hour, the heat in Jinchu's body slowly subsided. He opened his eyes and rubbed them, looking very sleepy.

"Shall I take you back?" Ye Ruisheng asked.

Jin Chu nodded. He wanted to sleep now.

Ye Ruisheng bent down, lifted the man up with a little effort, and jumped lightly onto the aircraft. The aircraft flew all the way back to the military camp. Several gates of the military camp opened for it one by one, and it flew to the window of Ye Ruisheng's room with green lights all the way. Ye Ruisheng directly opened the window remotely, and climbed into the house with Jin Chu in his arms.

He didn't go through the main gate because that would require him to get off the aircraft and walk a distance. It was no secret that he flew the aircraft out and back alone, and his relationship with Jin Chu was still kept secret.

Ye Ruisheng was about to put Jinchu on the bed, but Jinchu suddenly woke up and said, "Wait, put me down first."

He stood on the ground, confused for a moment, patted his face, pinched it, and pinched his hands: "It's so strange, if you pinch it, is it very real?"

Ye Ruisheng hesitated for a moment, wavering between his face and his hand, before choosing to pinch it. It was warm, smooth, and soft, very real, but hadn't it been like this before? Jinchu's disguise was very good, not human, but more like a human.

Jinchu didn't know how to explain it to him, so he asked, "Do you have a knife? Do you have a knife?"

Ye Ruisheng took out a knife from his waist and handed it to Jinchu. Jinchu took it and cut his finger. Bright red blood oozed out. The red was pure and bright, with the unique smell of blood. Jinchu licked it and moved his finger closer to Ye Ruisheng: "Look, look, is this real blood?"

“You are…”

"Hahaha, I have a real human body now! I don't have to pretend anymore." So this was the function of the thunder. No wonder his body was out of control and he couldn't change back to his original form. It turned out that it was to transform his body into a human form.

Jin Chu was so happy. It wasn't that he thought the human body was so good, but this was what he had been pursuing for many years. He had put so much effort into pretending to be a real person recently, and now he finally felt like he had made it!

After he finished laughing, the fatigue that he had suppressed came back like crazy. He yawned and lay down on the bed: "I'm going to sleep for a while." Then he started to snore softly.

Ye Ruisheng looked at him in a daze, then shook his head helplessly at his strange sleeping posture. He thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be... Good thing he was okay.

He gently turned him over, picked him up again, lifted the quilt and tucked him in again.

Then, I put my arm under his neck and suddenly felt reluctant to pull it out.

Jin Chu was sleeping very soundly, with each breath being particularly long. His cheeks and lips were rosy, and there was a beautiful sheen on them. Ye Ruisheng leaned over and looked at him carefully, observing details that he had not seen before.

Even under the light, if you slightly tilt your head and look straight ahead, you can see a layer of fine, cute-looking fuzz on his face.

Because they were too close, the boy's breath brushed his face again and again. Ye Ruisheng held his breath, and at the same time, as if bewitched, he couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his face.

In his short decades of life, Ye Ruisheng had rarely encountered anyone who made him feel invincible, but with Jinchu, he experienced this feeling several times. He could see her, but he couldn't touch her, and she wasn't even human. She often acted childishly, but there were also times when Ye Ruisheng clearly realized the difference and distance between them.

But at this moment, he was sleeping so soundly that he seemed inexplicably weak and innocent. He still had breath, temperature, flesh and blood, and had become a real person. The difference and distance seemed to be erased in an instant.

Ye Ruisheng couldn't help but admit that his heartbeat was irregular.

He didn't care about strength or weakness, and different species wasn't a problem either. Besides, Jin Chu now had a real human body, but...

Ye Ruisheng was very close to Jin Chu, with his nose almost touching Jin Chu's face, and he sighed softly.

It doesn't matter that he is not human, but Jin Chu obviously does not understand human emotions very well. He is inexperienced, carefree, naive and simple. No matter how strong he is, mentally, especially emotionally, he is just a child who has not grown up yet.

Can you do it?

Ye Ruisheng asked himself.

He couldn't bring himself to do it, and even felt that he was particularly dishonest for having such secret thoughts, and felt guilty for leading other people's children astray.

Not to mention that this was his savior.

So Ye Ruisheng...suppressed the idea that was about to sprout again.

He pulled his hand away, slowly stood up, covered Jin Chu with a quilt, and checked the wound on his finger. Seeing that it had healed, he looked at him for a moment and finally turned and left.

Jinchu rolled over, sound asleep. Halfway through, he felt the quilt was a little heavy. He kicked it off, but then the bed felt uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. He looked around, unsure how to get out of the room. He happened to see a pot of skinny succulents on the windowsill. It was just for decoration, and Ye Ruisheng had never watered it. It looked like it was dying.

Jinchu pulled the succulent out of the pot, turned himself into a small grass, jumped into the pot, and squeezed hard to take root in the soil.

Well, the soil was a little dry. He stretched out his leaves, picked up the kettle from the side, and poured water over his head until the soil was half wet. Only then did he feel comfortable. As for the problem of not having enough soil, he could only bear with it.

Rooted in the soil, Jin Chu finally felt comfortable. Subconsciously, he still thought his original form was the best, and then he quickly fell asleep with water droplets all over his body.
