Chapter 348: The Favorite of the End Times (28)

Even love is a kind of torture and self-deception.

The mission is over.

She didn't care, and she really didn't care. It was like they were strangers who had never met before. After Guan Zhiyuan completed that mission and left the office, they parted ways and never crossed paths again.

The only one left.

There are some traces that can prove that they have been in contact.

Probably only.

He probably regarded this as a mark of 'shame', and now even the last bit of memory that remained was about to be taken away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were..."

Qiao Xi found an opportunity to sneak away and teleported over.

When I arrived at the coordinates, I was stunned. The mist in the bathroom turned into fog, and a hazy, veil-like white enveloped the not-so-small bathroom.

She was shopping in the mall when she suddenly noticed a familiar smell.

It's the magical element she left behind.

Only then did he suddenly remember that he seemed to have forgotten to take back the mark on Guan Zhiyuan. This was really embarrassing and caused a misunderstanding.

While Gu Xuanye is busy with work.

Qiao Xi located the coordinates through magic elements and controlled his stand-in to come over immediately. Who knew he would run into this kind of scene as soon as he arrived.

She quickly distanced herself from Guan Zhiyuan.

The faint scent of shower gel lingered in the nostrils. The shower gel used by Guan Zhiyuan was not very fragrant, just like the refreshing feeling he gave people.

Qiao Xi, wearing a little white dress and barefoot.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She should have checked the system in advance before coming here, instead of rushing in directly after noticing the magic coordinates.

The shower head didn't stop running.

Even though Qiao Xi tried to avoid it, the splashing water inevitably wet her white dress, and as the girl's skin adapted to the temperature change, it gradually turned lotus root pink.

"What are you doing here?"

Guan Zhiyuan lowered his voice to a hoarse tone, and his expression was very calm.

There was no embarrassment of being caught.

There was no condemnation or sarcasm as Qiao Xi had expected. The girl was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the other party was unusually calm, and she seemed to be relieved.

Then he smiled and said.

"I'll remove the mark for you. Otherwise, it'll be very troublesome and not very good. Just stand there and don't move. Just draw it again like before and it will disappear."

She wasn't embarrassed at all now.

After all, the other person didn't react at all and she wasn't embarrassed. When she thought about how many times she had seen him being honest with each other before, it would be easy for the impression to disappear.

Qiao Xi half bent down and raised his hand.

However, before she could touch it, the girl's slender wrist was suddenly grasped by a large hand. The man's slender fingers clamped her wrist, restraining Qiao Xi who was about to move.

"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed?"

Qiao Xi was held by his hand and was a little confused.

Following his gaze, she saw a different look from Guan Zhiyuan's usual. His dark eyes stared at her deeply, as if peeling her apart bit by bit, with a blatant and direct expression.

It's like locking onto a target.

His deep eyes watched quietly, the surging undercurrent of heat in them almost burning Qiao Xi.

Such a look.

It seemed to be somewhat out of tune with the face that was comparable to that of a handsome young man.

The sound of splashing water.

The continuously rising mist, the gradually descending sense of oppression, and the secretly surging hormonal scent seemed to be starting to become stronger.

Guan Zhiyuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

A moment.

Exposed to the shower, the hot water quickly poured down, soaking her little white dress. The faintly visible graceful curves completely overlapped with the one in her memory.

"Base Commander, are you good?"

There is no reason to ask such a strange question.

"......?" Qiao Xi obviously didn't quite understand why he mentioned Gu Xuanye.

Are you here to check on me?

"Very good, Brother Xuanye..."

Before he finished speaking, a refreshing breath seemed to sweep over him. Their soft lips touched the next second. In the past, Qiao Xi always took the initiative to kiss his lips, but now it was Guan Zhiyuan who took the initiative.

But it is a different experience.

It was like a kiss of self-abandonment, mixed with too many complicated emotions. The most obvious feeling was uneasiness and an irritation that came from nowhere.

A kiss of release.

Sloppy and hasty.

"I hate you. I hate you so much."

When her brain regained some rationality, Guan Zhiyuan left her lips and said this as if whispering, his voice so soft that it was almost imperceptible.

But Qiao Xi heard it.

"Yeah?"

The girl smiled faintly, but the strong arm around her waist tightened a little, as if feeling uneasy, and trembled slightly. He hugged her tightly, even pressing one hand on Qiao Xi's slender back.

As if he wanted to hold her in his arms.

"You hate me? What do you hate about me?"

“…I hate it everywhere.”

She hated him so much that he became completely unlike himself, and yet, just when he was at his most vulnerable, she barged in again. Why was Qiao Xi always like this, so easily able to break through everything he had?

Guan Zhiyuan couldn't figure it out.

Is there really someone who is born to be the nemesis of another person?

Did his retribution come when he met Qiao Xi and wanted to kill her?

"You wouldn't hug someone like this if you hated them."

Qiao Xi's serious voice made Guan Zhiyuan's heart suddenly tighten.

I want to let go, but I can't.

And the next second.

His body suddenly froze as the girl's soft, white hand caressed his cheek, her fingertips just as delicate as in his memory.

The real touch brought Guan Zhiyuan back to his senses.

And the girl's other hand.

At this time, she stroked his back, and her soft fingertips soon touched the wound on his back.

"Besides, the wound hasn't scabbed over yet. If you keep letting water on it, it will get infected, right?"

Blood will also seep out, with a faint smell of rust.

The same tone as then.

Compared to the teasing in the past, now there is more concern. It has become different. Is she worried?

Guan Zhiyuan let her go and looked at her steadily with his black eyes.

Even Qiao Xi's touch seemed to become less important.

But just like that, her hand found another opportunity to touch the mark, as if she wanted to erase it at this moment.

Guan Zhiyuan's eyes quickly turned cold.

He grabbed her hand and pulled it away: "You are not allowed to wipe it. You can touch the others as you like."

Qiao Xi was a little confused by him.

"What's wrong with you? You're not happy about it even though I've removed it. Do you want to carry this with your future girlfriend...?"

She didn't set anything else for this mark.

Ordinary people can see it too. If we are honest about this, won’t we be socially dead?

Guan Zhiyuan sneered when he heard her words.

"Girlfriend? Where can I find a girlfriend? You made me like this, and you still think I can find a girlfriend in the future?"

Qiao Xi: “…”

Ah this.

"We haven't come once, not to mention yours...it's just self-consolation at best. Most of the time you come on your own."

Shouldn't he be so inhumane?

Guan Zhiyuan was too lazy to listen to her nonsense. He pulled her over with a cold face and pushed her against the wall, biting her shoulder fiercely.

This time, Qiao Xi frowned in pain.

The hot water that poured down also raised the temperature in the room, and even the hand that touched her became scorching hot. The wet little white dress was a bit of a hindrance, and Guan Zhiyuan loosened his bite on her shoulder and lowered his head to kiss her.

"It's too late. You've already tortured me like this."

The scattered kisses were filled with strong desire and greed, as if they were falling in search of comfort.

When Qiao Xi touched him, she noticed the change.

Guan Zhiyuan grabbed her wrist and pulled her away, forbidding her to touch him any further. They hadn't seen each other since they separated, and he had intentionally participated in multiple missions to avoid Qiao Xi as much as possible.

Don't think about this hateful and hypocritical thing.

The woman he hated the most.

He originally thought that the psychological trauma caused by this woman would be healed with the passage of time, but a subverted worldview cannot be easily turned off.

That was just part of Guan Zhiyuan's long life.

Just half a month.

However, it completely overturned the beliefs he had built up in the past, and everything collapsed. Qiao Xi destroyed them all without any warning.

in the end.

She was the one who ruined it all, yet she did this, turning away without a care in the world. Then she turned around and flirted with the base commander, acting intimately and flirtatiously.

Don't care about him at all.

The kisses that vented his feelings felt like punishment, lingering on her lips and intensifying. Guan Zhiyuan grabbed her wrist tightly and forcefully pushed Qiao Xi against the wall.

The space is not too narrow and there is still room to move around.

The sound of rushing water washed away all the filth, and the rising mist seemed to make the air gradually thinner, making everything in sight hazy.

There was only a shallow stream of water from the shower head.

The dripping water gathered together and slowly rolled into the drain on the ground, and was washed away along with the shower gel foam.

For a long time.

***

Guan Zhiyuan looked at her with deep eyes, the love in his eyes was so strong that he couldn't hide it at all, and the blend of passionate feelings softened his heart.

He leaned over and kissed the girl's earlobe.

It's a very contradictory emotion.

At first, he wanted to kill Qiao Xi because he thought she was too weak and would be a hindrance to the base commander. He hated Qiao Xi and spoke like this in a self-hypnotic way.

A psychological wall that you think is strong.

But the moment Qiao Xi appeared, he completely collapsed.

His mind would not allow this feeling to be born, would not allow this humiliating feeling to grow in such a ridiculous way.

Knowing I shouldn't.

But he still fell without hesitation.

Guan Zhiyuan woke up and saw Qiao Xi still sleeping beside him, and suddenly realized that this was not a ridiculous dream.

He was stunned.

I subconsciously looked down and saw the mark still there.

When his brain was no longer dominated by hormones and gradually calmed down, Guan Zhiyuan's youthful face became extremely gloomy.

What on earth did he do...

It's even more absurd than a dream.

He felt contempt and disdain for himself, loathing these uncontrolled emotions. But the satisfaction and happiness that followed seemed to fill the torn and empty hole in his heart.

The scenes in my mind became clearer.

Reason is regretting.

But the feeling of joy made him feel confused.

Is this the result he wants? Is this the result he truly desires and wants from the bottom of his heart?

Guan Zhiyuan lowered his eyes to look at the sleeping girl beside him. Even though his emotions were still mixed, he pursed his lips and rolled over her.

Then I went to clean up briefly.

Fortunately, he lives alone here, so there is nothing inconvenient to show to others now. Guan Zhiyuan finished cleaning up and looked at Qiao Xi who was still sleeping over there, sighing helplessly.

He rubbed his temples with a headache.

'Qiao Xi' seemed to have woken up at this time.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she clutched the quilt to cover herself, and looked at him timidly with her beautiful eyes, full of grievance and dissatisfaction.

Guan Zhiyuan hesitated to speak.

He looked away somewhat unnaturally: "What's wrong?"

This was his first time experiencing such a thing and he had no experience, but he still had some basic common sense, so he didn't really know nothing.

Qiao Xi pouted in grievance, placing one hand on her lower abdomen.

"It's bloating and uncomfortable."

Guan Zhiyuan's expression suddenly became somewhat unnatural, and his burning ears betrayed him at the moment. After all, due to his emotions, he lacked restraint, which inevitably caused her to have some symptoms.

"Where's my skirt?"

However, the girl didn't want to pay attention to him and didn't dwell on this topic with him.

"I've washed it. Wear mine for now."

Guan Zhiyuan handed her his clothes. Qiao Xi's little white dress would probably not dry until the afternoon.

The girl is not pretentious.

He took it, put it on quickly and lifted the quilt: "I have to go back and change my clothes and return it to you."

Seeing that the person was about to leave.

Guan Zhiyuan subconsciously reached out and grabbed her wrist, but this action earned him an even more puzzled look from the girl.

"You said you hated me."

Guan Zhiyuan: “…”

This person may really not understand or is doing it on purpose, or he may be holding a grudge.

But forget it, he just didn't want to go on like this.

"Yeah, I just really hate you."

Guan Zhiyuan compromised and responded to her, then grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him, and forced her to sit down.

The stubborn and deep eyes are serious and solemn.

With a stern face that didn't hold much intimidation, he spoke carefully, word for word: "So, I won't appear in front of you from now on. It's time to end it. Don't make the same mistake again."

“……?”

The other side.

Qiao Xi was sitting on Gu Xuanye's public chair early in the morning, chewing an apple while looking through the information of Base A with relish.

Two kittens sat in a row in the system space.

Craning his neck to stare at the virtual screen.

Gu Xuanye had to go on a business trip and had to leave for two days, otherwise Qiao Xi would not have thought that it was almost time and sent a substitute over to take back the mark.

Of course, the result is.

It can no longer be hidden, and its true nature is revealed.

However, after briefly revealing his true colors, he seemed to have recovered. She was really a little confused about Guan Zhiyuan's contradictory heart.

When Guan Zhiyuan said it was over, Qiao Xi used a substitute to drag the person into a state of madness and decadence for two days within the limited time.

This is the end.

Finish it soberly and completely.

After two days, the substitute was also recycled into the space.

In the end, Guan Zhiyuan let her go with a sullen face, his attitude very firm. Even when the passion was intense and almost overwhelming, the frown on his face made him look like he was in pain and struggling.

Qiao Xi naturally left as he wished.

But she couldn't understand why, after she left, the man looked so depressed and miserable that he almost cried.

Why can you still say such firm words?

[I want to get rid of you, but a short pain is worse than a long pain]

The little black cat, who had finished eating the melon, added in the system space that although it still couldn't understand why Qiao Xi didn't like someone, he would still use a substitute to do such a thing with the other person.

But there are consequences to doing so.

Naturally, it will make the other party even more unable to forget her.

[I don't mind being lustful, and I also want him to be so impressed that he'll never forget this humiliating experience.]

Qiao Xi supported her cheek with one hand.

Doesn't he respect Gu Xuanye? Doing something like this behind the base commander's back is like constantly being tormented by guilt and remorse. These pent-up emotions will eventually explode.

not to mention.

Her brother Xuanye had been living in comfort for so long that he'd forgotten she was a troublemaker. Since she was looking for excitement, she might as well give these mentally ill people some trouble. If she was going to disgust them, she could disgust them all together.

【Vicious host! 】

The little white cat system touched the non-existent goose bumps.
