Chapter 15 Official First Release (Please click here)
Yu Xiao had to admit that as the protagonist of a plot-driven novel with the appeal of being universally loved, she certainly had the qualities to be loved.
For example, Ling Yue's voice, even through a microphone, still sounds very pleasant in the treatment chamber where repair fluid is flowing.
Despite being naturally aloof and lacking in emotional expression, the beta eventually fell asleep while listening to the puppy Ziwei's lewd behavior.
This was quite incredible for Yu Xiao, who was a light sleeper.
To help users recover their health as quickly as possible and reduce the pain during the cell repair process, the treatment chamber was designed from the very beginning to create a hypnotic environment.
However, Yu Xiao had been in a treatment ward in the hospital before. Her high level of vigilance and pain tolerance meant that no matter how many injuries or serious illnesses she suffered, they were not enough to put her into a state of optimal recovery, such as sleep or even coma.
Fortunately, her biological clock didn't let Yu Xiao sleep for too long.
The self-disciplined little fish never stays in bed.
Almost as soon as Yu Xiao opened her eyes, she pushed open the door of the treatment pod and sat up straight.
Yu Xiao wasn't some inhuman demon. Looking at the data the system gave her and listening to Ling Yue's weak voice coming through the microphone, she knew that if Ling Yue continued like this, the unfortunate kid would be in the hospital tomorrow due to kidney deficiency, and even the treatment ward wouldn't be able to save him.
Yu Xiao only realized that Ling Yue's back was too weak to kneel straight after seeing it with her own eyes. His back was covered with fine, translucent beads of sweat, but he had not yet fallen into a coma.
He didn't slack off; he still followed Yu Xiao's last instructions before going to sleep, and even selflessly developed new ways to play.
The ground was covered with large water stains, indicating that while Yu Xiao was chatting and dozing off, Ling Yue really did complete Yu Xiao's task well and successfully made himself ( ) many times.
Even someone as cold-hearted as Yu Xiao couldn't help but pat the puppy on the head and praise it:
"Good dog."
Yu Xiao held the bewildered Ling Yue in her arms, helped him away from the circle of broken porcelain shards, and sat him on a stool to the side, peeling off the cloth that was already soaked with sweat and ( ).
【Master, do you want to dispose of the trash?】
Yu Xiao's household robot, which she had used for many years, detected an object on the floor and decided it was time for it to handle it, so it scurried off to the dining area.
"yes."
Ling Yue, who had been grumbling and letting things be, suddenly reached out towards the home robot, making a gesture as if to stop it, "Wait! Don't throw it away!"
The housekeeping robot heard another owner's voice and didn't know which one to listen to.
The cute little tin can only spin around in place for a moment, and the program is on the verge of short-circuiting.
Yu Xiao had no choice but to pat the omega's ( ) with a slightly warning tone, "I've raised Xiao Hei for several years, you're not allowed to bully it."
Ling Yue was surprised that Yu Xiao would give such a cute name to the home robot. He was so incredulous that he was momentarily dazed.
Only after being warned a few more times by Yu Xiao did he say, "No."
What is it not?
"Don't lose it..."
Ling Yue's voice grew softer and softer.
Yu Xiao finally understood what Ling Yue meant, so she raised her hand and gently scratched Ling Yue's face.
"I won't throw away those broken pieces of porcelain, and I won't throw you away either."
Even if we can no longer be partners, whether I become a Starfury or a burial offering, it will only be you.
After receiving the promise that he would not be abandoned, Ling Yue subconsciously snuggled against Yu Xiao's shoulder and could smell that Yu Xiao had changed into clean clothes.
It was as if Yu Xiao wasn't the one who got her head broken in the previous conflict.
His beloved partner was fully dressed, while he was only covered by a tie over his eyes and a decoration on his chest.
Although it covers part of the skin and is not a completely ( ) state, it is in some ways more ( ) than not ( ).
Yu Xiao helped Ling Yue to his feet. "Let's go."
Ling Yue didn't ask where Yu Xiao was taking him, but hesitated before saying, "Mr. Yu, the eyes..."
Without Yu Xiao's order, Ling Yue dared not remove the tie covering his eyes.
But Yu Xiao didn't seem to intend to carry him the whole time. How could he walk with his eyes covered?
"Walk."
Yu Xiao's voice was devoid of any emotion.
So Ling Yue had no choice but to grope around aimlessly in front of him as he moved forward.
During this process, Ling Yue surprisingly did not kick or bump into any debris, nor did he fall.
When turning, warm hands would gently embrace Ling Yue, guiding the way forward, but after the turn, the skin that had been touched would only be left with endless coldness.
Yu Xiao silently guarded Ling Yue's side, and Ling Yue wanted more interaction, but it was impossible.
Ling Yue felt a little wronged, but the thought of cracking Yu Xiao's skull open made him feel an overwhelming sense of guilt, which overshadowed his minor emotions.
He decided to listen to Yu Xiao first.
Keep moving forward.
Don't worry about anything.
As long as Yu Xiao is by his side, Ling Yue has nothing to fear.
...
"This is... a cage?"
The surface of the medical pod has many grooves, so it's normal to misunderstand if you're blindfolded and just feel the metal shell with your palms.
Yu Xiaocuo said:
Isn't it normal for dogs to sleep in cages?
Ling Yue seemed somewhat afraid of the concept of a "cage," and despite his current inability to see, he subconsciously tried to escape, but Yu Xiao took control of him first and pressed him against the massive metal object.
The home robots don't come to the garage very often, so the packing materials for the treatment chamber haven't been packed yet.
Yu Xiao's puppy tried to escape from him.
Yu Xiao had no choice but to pick up a long cable tie and tie the puppy's front paws to its front, which was trying to sneak away. However, the puppy was still not obedient, so she had to tie its hind paws with another cable tie as well.
Now the puppy can only stay in its cage and can't escape.
Yu Xiao stroked the puppy's head as it struggled, continuing to tease it:
"There's a gift inside, it's specially prepared for you. Yueyue is also a cute little dog, she'll really like you."
Ling Yue said dryly, "Liar, liar, I didn't hear any other animal sounds."
Yu Xiao said nonchalantly, "Our Yueyue is so smart and knowledgeable, she must know that some wild beasts will hide their scent or pretend to be asleep before hunting, right?"
Isn't it normal for a predator to lie in wait before hunting?
"It's a lie, a lie..."
Ling Yue was so frightened that he could barely stand, and his legs almost gave way.
If it weren't for the medical pod supporting him, he probably would have collapsed long ago.
Ling Yue had been secretly observing Yu Xiao for a long time, but he had never heard of Yu Xiao having a habit of keeping pets before. Even if he wanted to punish him, there was no need to go to the trouble of buying one...
That's not right either. This Mr. Yu has never played by the rules. If his methods of setting things up could be predicted by others, he would not have been able to get to where he is today.
So there really was something less than a meter away from me... Was it something Mr. Yu prepared specifically to punish me?
Several titles with similar meanings flashed through Ling Yue's mind, things that couldn't be posted on legitimate websites.
Just thinking about that scene sent chills down Ling Yue's spine. He immediately grabbed Yu Xiao's clothes tightly, crying, "Husband, husband!"
Yu Xiao seemed completely unconcerned about Ling Yue's resistance and let go.
"Thump~"
After being thrown into the medical pod, Ling Yue struggled and thrashed around several times, inhaling a lot of "water".
The inhaled repair fluid replenished Lingyue's strength, and it finally regained consciousness from being controlled. As it struggled, the tie that had been taut finally slipped down from its eyes.
The water depth that caused Ling Yue to thrash about upon entering the water was only a few centimeters, enough for an adult to sit up.
Ling Yue then belatedly realized that she didn't need to share a cage with ( ).
Furthermore, the wounds caused by the broken porcelain shards were gradually healed under the action of the repair fluid.
"Mr. Yu actually bought the treatment pod." The tie had lost its purpose; Ling Yue awkwardly strained, finally managing to pull it off completely. "Is it for me?"
Yu Xiao didn't intend to hide her good intentions. "Omegas are very fragile and easily hurt. Even if our Yueyue is different from other omegas, what about Yueyue's baby?"
“Even though Yueyue is very outstanding, and our baby is also very outstanding, he/she may still have vulnerable parts. As a father, I need to give the little one the best of everything.”
"Splash!"
Ling Yue suddenly emerged from the repair fluid, using the medical chamber for support, and splashed Yu Xiao's body with the light green liquid.
The puppy gave his beloved human a super-big hug.
"Thank you, Yu Xiao."
Then he tilted his head and went to eat Yu Xiao's food, saying, "Yu Xiao is the best."
"Hmm... Since Yu Xiao is a very nice person, you shouldn't mind if I call you by your name, right?"
Because Yu Xiao had tied the dog's paws with cable ties, the puppy wanted to hug Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao couldn't break free no matter what she did.
He and Ling Yue embraced tightly, separated by the outer wall of the repair bay.
"I'm not angry, but..."
As a beta with remarkably stable emotions, Yu Xiao wasn't particularly angry.
"You've suffered all these injuries; you should go to the medical ward."
Yu Xiao knew that he couldn't expect anything good to come out of Ling Yue's mouth, so she stuffed the tie that Ling Yue was still holding into his hand. Before the omega could take the tie out and continue to talk to him, she took the opportunity to press Ling Yue into the repair fluid.
Then the door of the treatment chamber was closed, sealing all of the puppy's little movements inside the sealed metal shell, and all was done.
Yu Xiao did not leave immediately, but instead found a stool in the garage and sat down.
The healing fluid he used had been drained and discarded by the housekeeping robot. The fluid used to cook the puppy was brand new and highly transparent.
So when Yu Xiao adjusted the outer wall of the medical chamber, turning the metal shell into a visible transparent mode.
He saw Ling Yue sinking to the bottom of the medical pod, his gagged mouth slightly puffing out his cheeks, his hands on his chest, pounding the side wall of the medical pod in frustration, but not with much force, because the medical pod did not issue any warning.
Ling Yue was quite understanding; knowing the medical pod was valuable, he didn't vandalize it inside.
Ling Yue's understanding nature softened Yu Xiao's heart. He placed his hand on the headset and said, "Don't be angry anymore, okay, sweetie."
The originally dimly lit medical ward was suddenly switched to transparent mode, and the outside light was almost scorching Ling Yue's eyes.
However, Yu Xiao's voice clearly gave Ling Yue boundless power. He closed his eyes, counted a few seconds, and then opened them again, as if trying to memorize Yu Xiao's appearance as quickly as possible.
The initial dissatisfaction quickly dissipated.
Whenever Ling Yue sees Yu Xiao, his mood improves. Even if Yu Xiao is the culprit behind his bad mood, she can still cheer him up.
Ling Yue couldn't speak, but the "woo-woo" sounds he made still reached Yu Xiao's ears through the microphone.
Based on the frequency of the "whimpering," one can guess that the puppy is apologizing now, and surprisingly, it didn't point at Yu Xiao to scare him or stuff him into the treatment pod.
Ling Yue didn't seem to blame him at all. How could he be so obedient?
Even Yu Xiaoben's heart, which was as hard as iron, softened considerably.
If Yu Xiao ignored the terrible future the system told her, she could have continued to coax Ling Yue like this.
Ling Yue's attitude is very good now, and even Yu Xiao's attitude has become much better as a result:
"I was wrong too. I shouldn't have tried to steal your business, and I shouldn't have scared you..."
Yu Xiao had always known that he was wrong, so she was good at apologizing. As for whether he should correct his mistakes in the future, she would deal with that later.
The earphones and microphone that were previously attached to Ling Yue were still around his neck. Even through the medical ward door, Ling Yue could hear him if he tried to speak to him.
"Waaah..."
The puppy made a heart shape with its hands through the glass for Yu Xiao, and then placed its paws on the glass of the treatment chamber.
Yu Xiao was initially distracted while chatting with the puppy, but he quickly noticed the abnormality on the glass of the treatment chamber.
The palms of those hands, some pink and some white, were especially beautiful.
If possible, they are hands that deserve to be cherished and cared for for a lifetime.
Yu Xiao's heart, which had been as calm as a deep pool, was suddenly stirred.
He also raised his hand, and through the glass barrier, he and the puppy exchanged handprints and pressed them together.
