Pei Ji moved, climbed up from Shen Que's knees, and looked at Shen Que with tears in his eyes.

"Do you really think I'm handsome?"

Chen Que held Pei Ji's face in his hands and wiped away another tear with his fingertips.

"certainly."

He said slowly and seriously:

"You will become the most handsome admiral, exterminate the worms on White Sand Planet, lead the desert people to freedom, and become the most handsome young lord in their hearts. You will also save the Sea of ​​Life and become the most handsome savior in the entire empire."

Pei Ji, who was still young and immature, blinked and said, "Are you exaggerating a little bit about me?"

But you are just so great.

Shen Que raised an eyebrow, “You don’t believe it?”

Pei Ji was speechless for a moment, "I don't care about these... Woo... Can I hug you?"

Shen Que muttered, "No future..."

Pei Ji held Shen Que in his arms, pressed his nose against the back of his neck and sniffed.

"I have no taste." Shen Que reminded him.

"I know... no need for pheromones..." Pei Ji said, "You smell good already."

Shen Que felt his heart beating wildly again. He quietly hugged Pei Ji back and asked in a low voice: "Have you seen the Messiah? It's that little white wild flower.

"I know. I've seen them in the woods outside the school." Pei Ji sniffed the calm, clean scent with nostalgia, slowly calming his anxiety. "They're always wet."

"How do you like it?"

"Is it okay? Why do you ask?"

Shen Que's throat rolled, "Nothing... I just feel... If, I mean, if I have a smell, it might be that..."

"Really..." Pei Ji seemed to recall the smell of Messiah, "Then from today on, Messiah is my favorite flower."

Shen Que's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

He chuckled softly.

"You're making fun of me again..." Pei Ji's eyes turned red.

“No…” Shen Que suppressed his laughter and buried himself in Pei Ji’s arms.

The muscle pressing against his cheek was not as strong as that of the older Pei Ji, so he still preferred the more mature general.

Shen Que asked in a low voice: "Do you like me, Pei Ji?"

"What..." Pei Ji pushed Chen Que away abruptly, his eyes full of panic, "No... I didn't! I... I just think you smell good... and are amazing. I just like to hear you praise me, I..."

He was so anxious that he was about to cry again.

Shen Que curled his lips: "I like you."

Pei Ji was stunned.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Everything around him faded away in an instant, and he could only see Chen Que's thin lips opening and closing:

"Shall we date?"

After saying this, the sunlight outside the window became brighter, but not scorching.

Shen Que watched helplessly as the young Pei Ji and the surrounding white room turned into spots of light, jumping and flickering in the air, disappearing in a flash.

The light dissipated.

Shen Que returned to the Sea of ​​Life and scratched the chin of the kitten squatting on his knees.

It turns out that the switch is this sentence.

He stood up from the shallows and was surprised to find that he was much closer to the giant tree. He could vaguely see the golden vines surrounding it.

"It was so quick this time." Shen Lu appeared behind him, "You came out before I even saw you."

"He's in his susceptible period, so it's easy to capture him." Shen Que commented objectively.

However, the sentence popped up in my mind again: [From today on, Messiah is my favorite flower. ]

Shen Que smiled imperceptibly.

It’s not certain who will attack whom.

At this time, Shen Lu also discovered the vines not far away and said, "It seems that as long as you keep untying the knots, you can slowly get closer to him."

"I already know how to solve it the fastest." Shen Que walked towards the next root without stopping.

Shen Lu looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Que: "As long as we can trigger his susceptible period, we can quickly fill up his favorability and complete the mission."

He looked down at the roots under his feet, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"I want him to cry for me enough."

Chen Lu: "...You are a devil..."
