Chapter 75 Are you tired? The shadow is very long, as long as a lifetime

After a heart-to-heart talk, Nan Qi suddenly saw the light.

He understood that Bai's feelings for him were not rootless, and he also understood that only the one who gave could evaluate the emotional equality.

If the payer feels it is worth it, then it is equal.

After figuring this out, Nan Qi felt more relaxed and could look calmly into Bai's loving eyes.

Looking at Bai's eyes that expected an answer, Nan Qi smiled and nodded: "Bai, can I love you? Can you love me too?"

The same words, just the names were swapped, which instantly made Bai's eyes burst into bright colors. He hugged Nan Qi's neck, buried his head in the crook of Nan Qi's neck, and squeezed himself into Nan Qi's broad arms.

Nan Qi took advantage of the situation and hugged Bai's thin waist, lifting him up with a little force, like a child, and let Bai sit astride him.

Then he put one hand on Bai's neck, kneading it gently, and with the other hand tightly grasped Bai's waist, his voice low and with a hint of bewitching meaning:

"Bai, are you tired?"

"What?"

"I say...are you tired?" Nan Qi's voice was light and airy. "Are you tired of persisting in the face of so much hostility?"

Bai was silent. Was he tired? He must be.

Ever since his paternal father and paternal father passed away, his life has gone from heaven to hell.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to meet his teacher who came to suppress the illegal mining forces in the interstellar space before his body grew up, he would not be a powerful general in the military now, but a high-class female prostitute in an unknown club, living by selling her body.

Many years later, he might die in pain from a mental turmoil, or when he first accepted his first patron, he might lose control of himself and kill the patron, and be executed by imperial law.

During the years he struggled in the dirtiest part of the empire, in order to survive and protect himself, he had always been careful to hide himself, fearing that he would be sold at a high price after being exposed.

He was very young at that time. He had mental power but didn't know how to use it. Apart from his good physique, he had nothing special about him.

It was also because of his good physical strength, young age, and intentional hiding that he was not chosen by the club manager to stay in the club and learn the work of tending insects.

After spending a week in the club's small dark room and seeing too many good-looking, well-built, and eloquent companions being trained beyond recognition, he was sent to the mining planet privately developed by the forces behind the club to do the job of transporting crystals.

However, this was also like leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den. He and a group of young children who were not yet fully grown but had good physical strength became porters in the mines.

After becoming a miner, he faced heavy physical labor every day. If he failed to complete his work, he would not only not have food to eat, but would also be beaten.

The insects with weaker physical conditions were beaten severely and had no treatment, but they had to continue to do heavy labor. In the end, most of them were wrapped in straw mats and thrown into the crusher like garbage.

They had no dignity even after death because they were slaves who were bought and sold, and were already dead insects in the household registration.

Dead insects will naturally not be protected by the law. Besides, the forces they belong to are not regular forces, so they are not afraid of this at all.

Bai Ye almost died in the mine, but he was lucky. After being beaten, two miners felt sorry for him. One of them secretly fed him anti-inflammatory drugs for two days, and the other miner gave him something to eat.

These two miners are male insects, their level is not low, and they were also captured.

They are miners in name only, but because of their high level of mental strength, their status on the mining planet is not low. They are considered doctors on the mining planet, and the managers of the mine will also give them some face, otherwise where will they get the medicine and extra food?

Because of this passage, Bai knew that not all male insects were bad. His male father was not bad, and the two male insects who secretly helped him were not bad either.

A few years later, those who are lucky enough to survive will be sent back to the club when their bodies have begun to grow, that is, when they are 15 to 20 years old.

Then, they are picked and chosen by the club manager like goods, and the female insects with good appearance, figure, female pattern and pregnancy cavity are picked out and kept in the club to be raised and serve customers.

Occasionally, when you come across a top-quality item, it will be sent to an auction.

If you are lucky, you will become a female servant of a powerful male insect. If you are unlucky, you will be abused by a male insect with special fetishes and live a dark life.

Of course, this is not absolute, because the insect that bought the female prostitute at the auction could be a female insect, a sub-female insect, or some kind of hidden force.

After all, the female insects that made it to auction were definitely not ordinary goods. They could be used for drug testing or re-cultivated into killers.

How could Bai not be tired when he had known and faced all these things since he was a child? Even though he was later rescued by his teacher and his strength became stronger and stronger, the experiences of those years could not make him completely let down his guard.

This kind of vigilance did save him several times.

Over the years, this vigilance has become an instinct ingrained in his bones, causing him to ignore the fact that this instinct is extremely mentally draining and forget what tiredness is.

Especially after the teacher left the military, he didn't dare to relax at all. It was like walking on the edge of a knife, for fear of failing to live up to the teacher's trust, for fear that after the plan was exposed, the status of their female insects would be further reduced, and for fear that he would become a sinner for all eternity.

When Nan Qi mentioned this, Bai suddenly felt wronged and felt that he was really tired.

His shoulders slumped, and his whole body shrank into Nan Qi's arms. Like a wronged child, he hummed softly, and tears couldn't stop falling, soaking Nan Qi's shoulders.

Nan Qi tightened his embrace and patted Bai's back gently: "If you are tired, take a rest. I am here."

Bai said nothing, shedding tears silently.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Qi felt that Bai's breathing had become even, and he sighed slightly.

Bai didn't say anything, but his previous silence and Melon's mention of Bai's hard life in the past, combined with Bai's confession to him just now that revealed his own madness, Nan Qi knew that Bai grew up in an extremely chaotic environment and lacked proper guidance.

Once this unforgettable mark is planted, it is not easy to eradicate even if you leave such an environment later.

Not to mention that after Bai left that environment, although the environment he entered was much better, he still faced many crises.

Bai Chong was sentimental. Marshal Ai You saved him, so he wanted to repay him. Melon gave him brotherly love, so he wanted to protect them.

Therefore, he did not allow himself to rest and had to sit through everything until the end. Even if he was tired, he dared not admit it. He was very good at hypnotizing himself.

But the state of his spiritual sea and his unstable mental strength showed that he was not tired, but he just didn't dare to say it.

Mellon and the others saw all of this, so they mentioned in both explicit and implicit ways that Bai had a hard time, hoping that he would understand Bai better and feel more sorry for him.

Mellon and the others treated him well, not only because he was easy to get along with, but also because Mellon and the others poured their emotions into him.

Love the house and love the dog.

Mellon hoped their kindness would make him feel better about the dialogue.

Touching the back of Bai's head with heartache, Nan Qi sighed again. He felt that he needed to love himself first before slowly teaching Bai to love insects in the future.

Picking up Bai, Nan Qi stood up and walked out. He remembered that there was a short break in Bai's office.

Before going out, Nan Qi spread out his mental power to make sure there were no bugs before opening the door and walking out.

The door of Bai's office was locked, but that didn't pose a problem for Nan Qi. He took Bai's hand, unlocked it, entered the room, and closed the door, all in one go.

Only after putting Bai on the small bed in the lounge did Nan Qi have time to send a message to Melon.

In Mellon's office, just as Mellon, who had eaten and drunk his fill, was about to take a break, his private star computer rang.

He was in a good mood at the moment and didn't care that the bugs had disturbed his rest. When he opened the Star Brain, his mind was suddenly filled with black lines. He wailed and the rest he had gotten was gone. It turned out that there was no free lunch in the world.

Resigned to his fate, Mellon stood up and walked weakly to Bai's office. Looking at Nan Qi who was waiting for him at the door of the lounge, Mellon patted his head:

"Ancestor, if you have any instructions, I need to do it now."

Nan Qi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Melon's condition, but thinking of Bai's reaction in the lounge, he decided to give Melon a try.

He asked, "Is there any way for me to carry Bai away without being seen by the military women?"

Mellon: "What?"

Nan Qi: "Bai fell asleep. He is too tired. I want to take him back to rest."

Mellon: "? Asleep? Then sleep."

Nan Qi thought about it and chose a more appropriate word: "I want to take Bai Kuanggong."

Mellon: “…”

He was speechless. Nan Qi came to find him for something very important, but it turned out that he wanted to skip work!

Does he know that Bai is a general in the military and is now one of the most senior officials in the military?

Jing Chong, who had a heavy workload every day, was absent from work. Not to mention what the other lieutenant generals and major generals with ambiguous attitudes would think, just the remaining workload would make him so tired that he couldn't go home in the middle of the night.

So is this what the book says: I would rather die than let my friend die?

Melon wanted to cry but couldn't stop it because Nan Qi said Bai fell asleep. This was the first time Bai fell asleep in the military headquarters.

In the past, no matter how late he stayed up, Bai would never sleep in the military headquarters. He subconsciously felt that this was not a territory he could control, it was unsafe, and he could not lose his vigilance in the military headquarters.

Today, I slept for a while and fell asleep with Nan Qi by my side.

It was because Nan Qi gave him a sense of security that no other insect could give him.

Bai is too tired and really needs a good "rest".

So, it cannot be refused, and it cannot be refused.

With a sad face, Melon pointed to a small path. Nan Qi nodded and thanked him, set the aircraft route on the star computer, then went back to the lounge, picked up Bai Daheng and walked out.

Nan Qi walked very steadily, but I couldn't help shaking. Even so, Bai was still sleeping soundly, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he was not at peace in his dream.

Nan Qi leaned over slightly, placed a kiss on Bai's brow, and whispered, "Go to sleep, I'm here."

Then, he walked more steadily, holding Bai in his arms, step by step towards the path that Melon pointed to.

The sunlight stretched the shadows of the two insects very long, as if they lasted a lifetime.
