"Hey, stop!"
Li Yuheng quickly braced his foot against the door and strained his arms to support himself. The feigned seriousness on his face instantly crumbled, replaced by a pitiful expression.
"Shubai~ Wife~ Just once? The last time? I promise, this time it'll be quick... no, very efficient! It definitely won't affect your condition tomorrow! Maybe it'll even make you feel refreshed?"
"Your assurances are completely unreliable. Let go."
"No!" Li Yuheng started to whine, "I can't sleep without deep guidance! I'll get anxious! If I'm anxious, my mental connection will be unstable! And if I'm unstable, it will affect you! Going to the battlefield tomorrow is so dangerous, what if this little oversight happens..."
He began to rattle off a list of all sorts of terrible possibilities, which sounded absurd yet strangely tinged with a twisted logic.
Shu Bai's forehead veins throbbed as he listened. He forcibly suppressed the urge to slam the door in the guy's face and tried to reason with him.
“Li Yuheng, a normal mental connection doesn’t need to go to that depth every day. Over-reliance on it may have the opposite effect. Ordinary shallow contact is enough to maintain stability.”
This was written in the medical guidebook, something he had never cared about before, but now he had to use as a shield.
"That's for ordinary sentry posts!" Li Yuheng immediately retorted, his words ringing with conviction. "Are we ordinary? We're S-rank! Can our needs be the same as those of ordinary people? The manual is the average; we're the extreme case! Do you understand what an extreme case is? We need special treatment!"
As he spoke, he blinked pitifully, "Besides, we're going to such a dangerous place tomorrow, aren't you worried about me? What if I get sick from missing you and make a mistake..."
"Shut up." Shu Bai interrupted him, unable to bear it any longer.
He looked into Li Yuheng's eyes, which were still surprisingly bright even in the dim light, filled with undisguised longing and... a trace of "unease" that he forcibly interpreted.
Maybe...maybe this guy is really a little nervous?
Is this just how it's expressed?
The defenses of the sparse white heart loosened by a millimeter.
No, no, no!
But he immediately rejected the idea.
Is Li Yuheng nervous?
Unless the Zerg collectively adopt a vegetarian diet.
It's purely lust-driven, just an excuse to act recklessly.
but……
Shu Bai stared intently at Li Yuheng's innocent-looking face.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if trying to suppress the complex emotions in his chest—a mix of wanting to punch someone and feeling inexplicably soft-hearted.
“…Just for a moment.” Shu Bai’s voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth as he stepped aside to move the doorway aside. “…Only shallow drainage is allowed.”
"Okay! I promise! Shallow layer! Shallow layer it is!"
Li Yuheng's eyes lit up instantly, comparable to the corridor's overhead light, and he slipped inside like an eel, his movements so fast they created a gust of wind.
The door slid shut behind them.
As soon as Li Yuheng entered, he took the initiative and turned around to pin Shu Bai against the door. His movements were fluid and graceful.
"Li Yuheng!" Shu Bai growled warningly, his hand already on the other's chest, preventing him from getting any closer. "What you just promised!"
Li Yuheng immediately grabbed his hand, "I promised to provide superficial guidance, but superficial guidance is still guidance, right? Let's establish a connection first, right? Physical contact is the fastest way..."
As he spoke, he leaned his head closer, his target clearly aimed at those two lips that were slightly pursed in displeasure.
Shu Bai subconsciously turned his head away, but the kiss landed on the corner of his mouth.
Li Yuheng was not discouraged. In this position, he affectionately rubbed his nose against Shu Bai's cheek.
His hot breath sprayed onto my sparse white ears and the sides of my neck, bringing a slight shiver.
"Shu Bai..." Li Yuheng's voice lowered, with a seductive huskiness, "Just one kiss, really, just one... and then I'll obediently give you proper counseling, okay?"
His other hand was already wrapped around Shu Bai's waist, and even through his combat uniform, one could feel the supple waistline and the unconsciously tense muscles.
Shu Bai's ears burned from his rubbing, and her wrist, which was being held, felt like it was on fire, the heat spreading all the way.
Reason told him he should kick this pushover away immediately, but his body felt like it was glued to something invisible, unable to move.
Perhaps it's because I'm going back to the battlefield tomorrow, and there's a subtle restlessness deep in my heart that needs to be calmed.
Maybe it's because... this guy's pheromones really make him feel damn comfortable and relaxed?
In that half-second of hesitation when his mind wavered, Li Yuheng seized the opportunity precisely.
He suddenly lowered his head and finally managed to capture those slightly cool lips.
"Ugh...!"
Shubai's mind went blank for a moment.
Oh shit.
here we go again.
It's always the same.
This guy always finds a way to break through his defenses.
Li Yuheng's kiss gradually moved downwards.
"Li Yuheng... that's enough..." Shu Bai's breathing was completely disordered. "You promised... a shallow layer..."
"Hmm, shallow..." Li Yuheng responded vaguely, but his movements did not stop at all, and his hand had already nimbly reached under the hem of his combat uniform.
Shu Bai took a deep breath, his body instantly tensing like a bow.
Just when he thought he was going to completely succumb to temptation again tonight and was ready to give up, Li Yuheng suddenly stopped.
Li Yuheng stepped back slightly and used his fingertip to wipe the corners of his pale, moist, and swollen lips.
"Alright, that's the end of the 'one-time' session. Now, please lie down, White Sentinel. Your personal guide is about to begin the 'proper' shallow mental guidance."
Shu Bai: "???"
He was a little stunned by the sudden stop, hanging there in mid-air, his eyes even carrying a hint of bewildered accusation.
Li Yuheng was secretly delighted to see his wife looking so dazed and unsatisfied, but he still tried to maintain an authoritative expression and pulled his dizzy wife toward the bed.
"Come, come, lie down, relax, close your eyes, and feel my spiritual power..."
He directed the process in a seemingly professional manner, pressing Shu Bai down to sit on the edge of the bed.
Shu Bai sat down almost instinctively, staring blankly at Li Yuheng.
Li Yuheng suppressed the urge to pounce on him again, sat down beside him, and held out her hand: "Hand."
Shu Bai hesitated before placing her hand in his palm.
Li Yuheng grasped his hand, their fingers intertwined, and began to gently guide his spiritual power into the other's mental landscape.
The snow leopard's spiritual body sensed the familiar presence, lazily raised its eyes, flicked its tail, and lay back down, even purring contentedly.
Shu Bai's tense body gradually relaxed, and the agitation that had been stirred up slowly subsided in this pure and comfortable soothing atmosphere.
The fatigue accumulated from several days of "deep-level guidance" surged up, and his eyelids began to droop.
Looking at his gradually relaxing brows and his increasingly even and long breaths, Li Yuheng knew that he was truly exhausted.
He carefully laid the person down on the bed and pulled the blanket over them.
Just before falling into a deep sleep, Shu Bai mumbled something extremely indistinctly: "...Liar..."
Li Yuheng chuckled softly and leaned down to place a kiss on his forehead.
"Sleep well, my sentinel," he whispered. "I'll take you bug hunting tomorrow."
After saying that, he did exactly as he had promised, simply holding Shu Bai's hand, maintaining a shallow mental connection, and quietly sitting by the bedside, without doing anything else.
The starlight from outside the window flowed in quietly.
Her pale, sleeping face appeared exceptionally serene in the dim light.
As Li Yuheng watched, the smile on his lips gradually softened into a gentle and contented one.
Hmm, it feels good to be a gentleman once in a while...
It seems not bad at all.
Although, the young male lead did have a tough time.
He sighed and adjusted his posture.
The night is so long.
What should I do if I can't sleep?
"Little system, come out. Please list one hundred good qualities of your young master within one minute."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
