Chapter 25
Yael stood up, giving his seat to 015, straightened the shower gel that had accidentally spilled, and turned on the bathroom drying machine.
"Where should we put him?"
015's voice came from outside the door, and Yael was still a little slow to react.
He turned around and saw 015 holding the female insect standing in the middle of the room. They both turned their heads to look at him. The scene was inexplicably harmonious.
"Then..." Yael was a little stuck and blurted out, "Let's go to bed."
etc.
He reacted quickly, slapped his forehead in frustration, and closed his eyes.
Did you soak in the bathroom for so long that your brain got soaked? Why did you say you were going to bed?!
For Yel, the bed is a very private place.
He slept in a separate room from adults when he was very young. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been allowed to move his bed, let alone allow anyone to rest or even sleep on it.
It is too late to lay down the waterproof sheet at this time, and if it is laid down in front of the female insect, it will definitely make the female insect think that she is being rejected, which will make it even more difficult to deal with.
Yael walked out with some hesitation and saw the female insect sitting carefully on the bed, bending over to wipe her hair without dropping any water on the sheets.
"Hero Lord."
Hearing the footsteps, Xi Ze tilted his head with a bath towel on his head, looked in the direction of the male insect, and the corners of his lips almost couldn't help but rise, and whispered, "Tonight..."
Yael hummed absentmindedly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the female insect's messy hair, "Did you dry it? Be careful not to catch a cold."
He was still thinking about the bed.
Shouldn't... He was quite sensitive to the word "bed", so the strange coincidence just now was basically impossible to happen, but he did give his permission.
Are they in a bed-sharing relationship?
Yael faced this problem for the first time, frowned and fell into deep thought.
It's true that they have done some strange things, but each time they were rushed to the shelves out of necessity, and it can't be said to be a natural emotional push.
Xi Ze probably didn't want to do this either, but he was conditioned by society to do this.
Apart from the relationship of master and slave that was established by accident, they should be considered... friends, right?
Or to go a step further, is it a special relationship where some things have happened together - good friends?
Yael pondered for a moment and felt that this definition was quite appropriate.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "If you feel better, you can..." Go out and continue to sleep.
“…”
But the soft, slightly damp hair was entangled between her fingers. The female insect pursed her lips and obediently placed her hair against his palm, allowing his fingers to rub and knead it randomly, like a puppy with its fur standing on end.
Especially those golden eyes that were raised upwards, trying to look in his direction, with the moist corners of the eyes drooping slightly... making him look more like a puppy.
Yael's breath was choked, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them out.
After struggling for a while, he sighed in compromise.
...The weather outside is so bad that it is really uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa, so I will make an exception this time.
"Let 015 help you change your clothes and get ready to rest."
Remembering that the tools outside were still scattered and not picked up, Yael walked into the living room, but was caught off guard by the cold wind and shivered.
The balcony door was somehow pushed open a crack, and a strong wind mixed with ice and snow blew up the curtains, revealing a corner of the dark and gloomy night outside.
The storm was raging and showed no sign of letting up.
He walked over and closed the door, but for some reason his heart suddenly trembled and a vague sense of uneasiness spread.
"Is there anything outside?"
015's voice suddenly rang out, startling Yael.
He pulled the curtains tight without leaving any gaps, then turned around and said, "Nothing, is it done?"
"Yes, I'll clean up the mess on the floor, you just go and have some rest."
"Okay, remember not to sleep tonight and pay more attention to your surroundings to prevent anything from happening again."
…
Yael closed the door behind him.
Xi Ze had already changed into clean clothes and was half lying on the edge of the bed with a quilt covering him. When he heard the noise, he opened his eyes and looked over here.
His body had soft, undulating contours, appearing strong and thick, emitting scalding heat and the scent of shower gel, like a nest or hotbed into which one could crawl and bury oneself and do whatever one wanted.
The current atmosphere... is really too strange.
Yael took a deep breath, forced himself to look away, took out a new set of pajamas from the closet and walked towards the bathroom.
"I need to take another shower, you can go to bed first and don't have to wait for me."
"Okay." Xi Ze whispered, sliding down into the quilt.
Half an hour later, Yael came out. The female insect was lying on the bed with her back to him. The undulating contours of her body were covered by the soft quilt, and her breathing was steady and long.
He breathed a sigh of relief, walked over lightly and turned off the light.
“Pah.”
The room finally fell into silence and darkness, with only the monotonous sounds of the howling north wind and the rustling of snow outside the window.
Yael stepped carefully onto the bed, stepped over the female insect's waist, gently lifted the quilt and lay down.
It should have been cold inside the quilt, but the female insect's body temperature was slightly higher, and it was transmitted through the quilt, giving him a soothing warmth.
The breathing of another creature was clearly audible, even louder than the sound of the wind and snow outside, and it lingered in my ears.
...too close.
He stared at the blurry patterns on the curtains, forced himself to close his eyes, and tried to ignore the existence behind him.
Even counted sheep and tried to sleep, but-
Can't sleep at all!
A few short yet long minutes passed, and just when Yael was about to get up and take some sleeping pills, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.
He thought the female insect had turned over, but the next second, a warm breeze blew across his back, and the quilt with her scalding body temperature suddenly wrapped around him.
Yael's breathing frequency was not disordered at all, and he adjusted the quilt behind him slowly and carefully. The warmth in the quilt gradually melted the coldness on his fingertips.
Compared to the cold outside the bed, the idea of getting out of bed to take medicine became increasingly difficult.
…Forget it, let's just sleep like this.
With the help of the warmth, a slight sleepiness finally visited him.
The scalding heat source was not far behind me, and I could vaguely feel the hot breath on the back of my neck, but the distance still allowed air to leak through the quilt, and I couldn't bury my entire body in the warmth.
Yael frowned a little uncomfortably and shrank into the quilt.
“…”
The male insect's breathing became long and slow, and it seemed to have fallen asleep, but Cize was still unusually awake.
He actually deceived the male insect. Rebuilding the mental picture is not such a simple and quick thing.
At least after the most turbulent and dangerous period, those disturbed memories and emotions did not recede, but became even more chaotic and intense.
Distorted and deformed faces of unknown origin flashed by, sharp tinnitus almost pierced the temple, senses were reversed and confused, waves of tearing pain came from all parts of the body, but it was impossible to tell whether it was an illusion or reality.
He held back his breathing, swallowed every possible sound, and carefully turned over with his back to Yael, not wanting to wake the male insect.
But suddenly, a hand reached out from the side, and the slightly cool palm touched his forehead, as if testing whether the temperature was right.
The male insect's voice sounded, vague and a little worried, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xi Ze's Adam's apple rolled, he reached out and touched the hand on his forehead, and shook it vigorously, "...It's nothing, I just have a little insomnia."
"I'll get you some medicine."
Yael withdrew his hand and was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, but was stopped by the female insect's hoarse voice.
"I don't want to take medicine...why don't we just talk and then we'll naturally feel sleepy."
This seemed like a good idea. Yael pondered for a moment and huddled back into the quilt. "What do you want to say?"
Caesar endured the stinging pain and pretended to be thinking sleepily, "Let me think about it..."
He wanted to say something, but after careful consideration, he realized that his previous life was so boring. There was only war and occasional boring power struggles. Speaking out would only add to his boredom.
After thinking for a long time, he picked out something that was not too complicated or disgusting and told it to the male insect as a bedtime story.
"On one of our return trips, we found that the transfer point was broken, so we had to drive back slowly, but we also got to see a lot of beautiful scenery."
"One of the nebulae glowed with a bright rose red color and was shaped like a heart, rhythmically beating and contracting as if it had life."
"I had no memory of seeing this kind of nebula, so I just opened the recorder and recorded it. After returning, the recorder was handed over to a special place for inspection and review."
"But what I didn't expect was that this insignificant episode would cause such a sensation."
Xi Ze laughed softly, still vaguely remembering the astronomers' incredulous looks.
Their faces turned red as monkeys' bottoms, and they shouted, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Someone must have done this!"
"They always claim that there are no secrets in the universe and that there will be no new discoveries in the next hundred years. However, this claim was broken by a casual record made during a normal return trip only a year later. It's quite... funny, isn't it?"
If you lose your sense of awe and let arrogance block your eyes, you will naturally be unable to see new things and can only stay where you are.
Yael listened to his story with bated breath and chuckled a few times. "What happened later? Is the nebula still wild now?"
"Later it was named 'Heart of the Valar', meaning the heart of the gods."
The female insect's tone was low and soft, with a hint of a smile that he himself didn't even notice.
The sharp pain in my brain, like needles stabbing at my head, gradually eased, as if after telling the story, the originally chaotic memories were sorted out, and the manic mental power in my mental picture was gradually calmed down.
After thinking about it, Yael coughed softly.
"As a return gift, let me say something as well. If there is anything that does not conform to common sense, just ignore it. It is not a big deal."
"It doesn't seem to be anything particularly interesting... I told you before that I have a puppy, right?"
"I picked it up as a stray dog on the street. I won't go into the details, but I named it Tang Yuan. I kept it for almost a year. One day when I came home from school, I saw the door was open, but Tang Yuan was nowhere to be seen."
"I searched for it anxiously for a long time and finally found it three days later next to the trash can where I had picked it up. It was so hungry that it rushed over to me as soon as it saw me..."
Thinking of the scene at that time, Yael still felt angry and wanted to laugh.
Xi Ze smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly run away?"
"The residents across the street had cooked braised pork, and Tangyuan was tempted by the aroma, so he wanted to ask for a piece. But he had a very poor sense of direction, and after wandering around for a long time, he got completely lost. During his wandering, he was almost caught and sterilized again."
But after complaining, Yael couldn't help but stare blankly, and after a while he whispered.
"It has now been adopted by a friend. I wonder if it is still as greedy as before. Fortunately..."
He thought that it was a good thing that he passed it on to a friend, otherwise after his sudden death, Tang Yuan would definitely become a stray dog again, and could only look for food in the trash can.
But a strong sense of longing surged up in his heart, making his eyes slightly hot and a little sour rising to the tip of his nose.
Sensing that the male insect was in a low mood, Caesar found his way to his shoulder, patted him through the quilt, and coaxed him awkwardly, "You can visit it anytime you have the chance in the future, or take it home to raise it?"
"It's okay. This is fine."
Yael blinked, suppressed his emotions, and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do after you say that?"
They both knew what the "afterwards" meant, but they had been avoiding talking about it before, so there was nothing wrong with talking about it now.
Xi Ze was silent for a moment.
"There is something to be done..."
Countless considerations and deliberations went around in his mind, and finally he lowered his eyes and said casually, "Maybe we can go meet the culprit who caused me such a terrible tragedy first?"
"Then you better get better soon."
Yael said it as naturally as if he was asking what to have for dinner tonight, "Then kill all those guys."
“…”
Caesar was probably shocked by his brutal words. He was silent for a while before he said in disbelief, "I thought you would let me be patient or forgive you, after all..."
Male insects are such calm and gentle insects, they seem to understand and tolerate all the wolves and sufferings, and they don't want to see scenes of fighting and blood.
"What misunderstanding do you have about me?"
Yael frowned. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Do you think I'm some kind of saint?"
To return harm with a blade and to return love with tenderness, this is his code of conduct.
Xi Ze almost sighed and said, "You are right."
After a long silence, he whispered again, "Okay, kill them all, and then take the hero to live on the main planet, okay?"
Something strange seemed to be spreading.
Yael refused without hesitation, "No, you can kill me, it's your freedom, I will stay here and not go anywhere."
He spoke in a decisive tone, leaving the female insect no chance to continue testing.
They stopped talking afterwards, and the night that had been awakened sank again, deep and warm.
Yael turned over and buried his face in the quilt, interrupting this inexplicable night chat.
"Okay, it's late, let's get some rest."
Half an hour later.
Yael lifted the quilt, ruffled his messy hair, and looked at the female insect next to him who was also awake, with a speechless face.
"It's not a good idea to waste time like this. Let's go get some medicine."
He got up, turned on the light, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and opened the drawer at the head of the bed.
The small space was filled with various medicines. Yael squatted there for a minute before he finally prepared himself mentally and took out the sleeping pills.
He has always had trouble sleeping because when he was a child he would be caught and beaten when he was sleeping. Gradually he became mentally sensitive and tense, and suddenly one day he found he could no longer sleep.
After getting out of that high-pressure environment, I still couldn't get a good night's sleep back. Every time before taking sleeping pills, I would comfort myself and prepare myself mentally. After more than ten years, I have become accustomed to it.
He stood up again and got two cups of hot water, and handed one of the medicine and the water to the female worm.
"It's almost dawn. Luckily it's still the weekend and I don't have to go to work."
Yael frowned as he remembered something. "But I have an appointment at a new hospital tomorrow afternoon, so I need to get enough sleep."
"Can I..." After swallowing the medicine, Xi Ze hesitated, pursed his lips and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"What?" Yael, who was about to go to bed, looked up at him and said, "You tell me."
Xi Ze rubbed his nose, seeming to think that this request was unreasonable, and whispered unnaturally, "Can you, hug me?"
The air suddenly became quiet, as if time had stood still, and he unconsciously slowed down his breathing.
His drumming heart confused his sense of time. It could have been several minutes, or it could have been only a few seconds.
"If not, then ..."
"OK."
Yael thought about it for a moment and agreed readily.
Although it is not known why the female insect made this request, after experiencing severe pain, it may really need a hug to fall asleep peacefully.
Those golden eyes were drooped at first, but suddenly lit up after hearing his agreement, like a dog waiting to be caressed.
Although it was a fierce and cold-blooded beast like a snow leopard, it somehow restrained its aggressiveness. By the time Yer came to his senses, it was only silently submissive and docile.
He reached his hand into the female insect's fluffy white hair, stroking it from time to time, his fingertips occasionally brushing across the soft corners of her eyes, leaving a trace of light powder.
I'm afraid even Caesar himself doesn't know that every time he is treated like this, a subtle look of fear and desire will appear on his face. It's not very obvious, but Yael can understand it.
There was a shallow bloodstain on the female insect's ear, which had not been noticed at first. Yael pressed hard with his fingertips and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Xi Ze looked at him blankly, then rubbed his palm unconsciously, humming vaguely like a cheetah that was being caressed for pleasure.
Yael chuckled, but his eyes moved involuntarily to the female insect's neck, where there was a cold metal ring that tightly clamped the fragile and sensitive throat.
This thing...
After that quarrel, they never mentioned this topic again, but the female insect couldn't have stopped caring. Even if he had restrained his edge, he wouldn't be willing to cut off his own spine and become a crappy female slave.
How can I get rid of this thing? Yael frowned, but he was distracted for only a moment.
The most urgent task is to appease the female insect first.
He blinked, looking somewhat at a loss. He opened his arms and tried several different positions, but none of them seemed right. "Hmm...how do I hold you?"
Yael felt like the mother hen in the game of eagle catching chicks, but the one in front of him was not a chick, but a strong eagle that could swallow him in a few bites.
He succeeded quite successfully in making himself laugh.
But a bony hand grasped his wrist, and then a strong force came -
Yael was thrown forward unexpectedly, his knees stuck in the female insect's open lower body, and his face sank into the soft cream.
He subconsciously took a deep breath, and was instantly filled with a familiar, sweet, and light scent.
Good... so bouncy and soft.
His waist was held by two strong arms, and hot warmth came from the front of his body. The female insect hugged him so tightly that he was completely trapped in the embrace and could not break free.
Yael blinked slowly, felt Caesar bury his face in his neck, and took a deep breath, almost like a sigh.
The body in his arms did not appear frail, but rather flexible and strong, like a pot of fresh and tenacious ruby vine, which could ooze out the juice of life with a slight bend.
But Xi Ze repeatedly relaxed his strength, unwilling to hurt him.
“…”
Soft silver hair rubbed against the side of the face, and the heat from another living being burned through the thin gauze and sweater onto the flesh, and the wasteland covered with ice and snow began to melt silently.
Feeling the seriousness and solemnity of this hug, Yael hesitated for a moment and reached out to touch the female insect's shoulders.
The pajamas fabric touched by the fingertips was soft and thin, and the skin underneath was divided into pieces by the gauze, but it could not hide the soft and beautiful muscle contours, as well as the clear and slightly protruding spinal lines.
By stroking the sections going down one by one, you will reach the shallow waist groove, where you can just put your thumb and nails on it, and then naturally pinch that thin waist.
Really just like humans.
Yael suddenly thought.
His gaze shifted towards the female insect's back, where he could vaguely see the insect's gorgeous patterns through the loosened collar.
Further inside the butterfly bone is the soft wing sac that is responsible for hiding the wings.
Yael reached out and touched there. The wing sac felt very strange, a very thin and soft layer, very fragile and sensitive.
Xi Ze almost shuddered, but did not dodge, allowing Yael's fingertips to caress back and forth there, even sweeping across the tiny gaps where the nerves were densely packed.
The female insect's bony wings had been plucked out by the roots, so there was nothing inside. She wouldn't suddenly spread her bony wings and fly away. If she wasn't stimulated, she wouldn't turn into a half-insect and scare him.
This cruel fact actually made him feel an unprecedented sense of relief, and a string in his body that had always been tense quietly relaxed.
Yael closed his eyes, opened his arms, and hugged the female insect completely back.
…
Hugging before going to bed is indeed a mysterious but effective method, or maybe the sleeping pills have taken effect. When Yael lay down in the quilt again, he was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes.
The storm outside the window seemed to have gradually subsided, no longer hitting the glass. In the complete darkness and warmth, a sticky sleepiness surged up and slowly flooded over the head like a gentle tide.
Yael's breathing gradually became longer.
Half asleep and half awake, I seemed to hear a soft and hoarse voice coming from above my head.
"I haven't figured out how to confess those things yet...Give me some time, okay?"
His dream was disturbed, he frowned, and unconsciously turned around to fill the gap.
His arms were suddenly filled, and Xi Zehun's body stiffened. After a long while, he carefully reached out and pulled the quilt up.
Yael sighed in relief.
This posture made him completely enveloped in warmth. The breath that originally swept across the back of his neck rested against his ear, matching the low heartbeat in front of him, creating an intimacy that had already reached the edge.
The tip of my nose was lingering with the faint smell of blood from Xi Ze's body, along with a barely perceptible sweetness, which blended with the cold breath of wind and snow, and smelled unexpectedly good.
He snorted softly and buried his face, which was a little cold because it was exposed, and completely sank into the softness of the fluffy hair.
The hot ironing temperature was very soothing, but there seemed to be something stiff there, and he couldn't help rubbing it with his head, mumbling something vaguely.
