Lu Taipan was just about to hold down Su Liang's shoulders, push him directly onto the sofa, and then turn the fantasy that was constantly rolling and boiling in his mind into reality. His body had completely gone out of control against his will. At this moment, the Lord of the Snake Cave was almost going crazy with thirst.
In particular, Su Liang clearly saw his actions, but still did not offer any resistance.
At this moment, the young Beta opened his eyes wide in confusion. He did not move, as if he was completely unaware that Lu Taipan was leaning towards him.
Lu Taipan even felt that if he wanted to, he could easily bite his neck and then roughly inject his hot pheromones into his body.
If Lu Taipan didn't know clearly that Su Liang had always been a Beta and was unaware of the various hints and ambiguities between AOs, he would almost regard Su Liang's actions at this time as an "invitation".
The kind of thing... an invitation for him to do whatever he wanted with the boy.
"Mr. Si, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
However, in the moment before his sanity completely collapsed, Lu Taipan came back to his senses because of the boy's slightly trembling call.
The boy's wet eyes, full of intimacy and trust, immediately calmed Lu Taipan down.
The hot fingertips changed direction slightly, and instead of restraining the young Beta forcefully, they gently stroked the side of Su Liang's neck and finally landed on the boy's collar.
Lu Taipan lowered his eyes to hide the heat in his eyes, and he straightened Su Liang's collar.
"Your clothes are a bit messy."
Slowly and gently, the Lord of the Snake Cave smoothed Su Liang's collar bit by bit, and then after a long time he began to "explain".
His voice was slightly hoarse again.
"Thank you, thank you."
Compared to Lu Taipan's abnormality, Su Liang was actually not much better. He seemed to be in a trance, and it took him a long time to respond blankly.
He still maintained his previous posture, unable to move - his body was completely, utterly limp. Even if he just changed his posture, he suspected that he would collapse directly into Mr. Si's arms as if all his bones were pulled out.
So he didn't dare to move at all.
The light pink color spread from the base of his neck to his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Of course Su Liang was unwilling to admit that he had been completely stunned just now. Mr. Si's fingers looked so pale and slender, but they were extremely hot when touched, as if tiny sparks were burning beneath his fingers, whose joints looked so graceful.
When adjusting his collar, the man's fingers would occasionally brush against the side of his neck, and then the sparks would suddenly fall on Su Liang's body, burning him so much that he had to grit his teeth to avoid jumping up.
Su Liang felt like he was almost unable to breathe.
The damp, cold smell of incense in the air seemed to gradually take on an ambiguous temperature, seeping into the deepest part of his body bit by bit as he breathed in. Su Liang was so hooked that he began to feel dizzy.
The troublesome newborn information gland on the back of Beta's neck began to make its presence felt again, and a tiny, hidden tremor followed the gland all the way down the spine.
Su Liang was in a state of panic.
"I, I didn't even notice that my collar was messy..."
He said dryly, his mind going blank.
It seemed as if even God felt his embarrassment at the moment, and mercifully decided to save some of the poor Betas who were already dizzy. Just when Su Liang felt that he might be about to lose his mind and harass Mr. Si, a buzzer sounded from Mr. Si's waist.
The volume of the emergency contact tone, which represented an urgent matter, was actually very low, but it was enough to wake up the two people who were almost sticking together, and then suddenly separate.
"Ahem, I'm sorry to bother you, my dear master—"
A somewhat weak voice of an artificial intelligence came from Lu Taipan's headset.
"But please allow me to inform you that our temporary acting head of the family, Mr. Lu Zhengen, is sending you an emergency call. This call has an S-level permission and the content of the request is confidential. I cannot handle it on your behalf."
The artificial intelligence showed a fairly realistic helplessness.
"By the way, an hour ago, the acting head of the family, Lu Zhengen, personally arrived at the Snake Cave and requested a meeting with you. It seems that he really has something very important to discuss with you."
It was obviously not a pleasant event that someone like Lu Zhengen came in person and was even willing to wait outside the snake cave for an hour.
Lu Taipan's expression remained unchanged, and he looked as calm as ever... But the housekeeper observed the various data of the Lord of the Snake Cave, and prayed for a certain acting head of the family without any sympathy in his heart.
I hope Lu Zhengen can leave the "snake cave" alive today.
You know, Lu Taipan seems to be in a bad mood today.
It thought, and spontaneously put all the programs in the medical center into "ready" status.
"I have to go now."
Lu Taipan stood up and said to Su Liang.
“There’s some work that needs to be done.”
He added an explanation quickly and simply.
"Oh, okay..."
Su Liang said sullenly.
After Mr. Si leaves, he will probably become more normal and can ask the housekeeper for medicine to control his behavior. This should make Su Liang feel relieved.
However, watching the man walk towards the door step by step, Su Liang still couldn't hide his depression. He didn't even notice that he was following him like an animal with separation anxiety, and just kept following Mr. Si to the end of the garden.
The Viper's unique small flying vehicle is parked outside the garden.
Seeing the tall man opening the door of the aircraft and about to leave, Su Liang finally stopped helplessly.
However, Mr. Si suddenly turned around and returned to him.
"After this, if you want to know anything about mecha-related issues, you can come to me at any time." After a pause, the man said in a somewhat strange tone after a kind reminder from an artificial intelligence in his headset, "...I have the highest level of mecha technician qualification certificate."
"Ah? So powerful!" Su Liang's face flashed with surprise, but he soon became gloomy, "But my mental strength is not enough to support me to operate the mecha."
"Mental strength is not the problem,"
Mr. Si still had that indifferent look on his face, and there was no ups and downs in his words.
However, Su Liang always felt that the man's lips should be relaxed under the mask at this moment.
...very gentle.
"I'm here."
Mr. Si looked into his eyes and said softly.
In fact, according to common sense, this promise is actually quite absurd: mecha is the most mentally dependent creation in the human world. It can be said that without mental power, mecha is nothing more than a large metal collection made up of a bunch of circuits and parts.
It is impossible for anyone to allow a Beta with weak mental power to operate a mecha, because this is pure fantasy.
However, the man in front of him calmly told him not to worry about his mental strength and only need to consider the mecha itself.
Su Liang felt that his heart was starting to go out of control again.
God knows why, even if it is a promise that seems impossible to achieve, once it comes from Mr. Si's mouth, he will no longer have any doubts.
But he was still somewhat at a loss.
There are indeed quite a few people in the Earth Alliance who can drive mechas, but the "mecha masters" who can truly drive mechas are completely different from ordinary people who can only make mechas move.
In the entire Earth Alliance, probably only the "Snake Cave" which started out with mechas has so many professional mecha masters.
As for the highest-level professional mecha masters, they are treated as honored guests even in other powerful families.
No wonder Mr. Si is so handsome and has such a strong aura. In fact, Xue Yinhuan and Black Mamba are also "venomous snakes", but deep down, Su Liang feels that they are very different from Mr. Si in some ways.
I guess he is worthy of being called Mr. Mi...
Su Liang couldn't help but sigh.
He never dreamed that one day he would be able to ask mecha-related questions to a mecha master with the highest qualification certificate.
I was so surprised that I even felt a little uneasy.
"Wait, matters involving high-level mecha masters are basically highly confidential, and the mechas in the Snake Cave should all belong to Master Lu? If you offer me help... will Master Lu agree?"
Su Liang asked weakly.
When talking about the legendary commander of all venomous snakes, Mr. Si looked indifferent.
"He will agree."
"but……"
Su Liang felt that he had found another difference between Mr. Si and Xue Yinhuan and the others: even though Xue Yinhuan and Black Mamba were in a relaxed attitude when they mentioned Lu Taipan, they could not hide the admiration and respect that came from the bottom of their hearts. But Mr. Si is always a little subtle when talking about the Lord of the Snake Cave.
It's not quite disgust, but it can't be called eagerness either. A little cold, a little indifferent, and even a little... well, Su Liang couldn't tell.
He just felt that Mr. Si's attitude towards his immediate superior was very worrying.
Su Liang couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I said, I'm here, you only need to worry about the mecha itself." Mr. Si interrupted Su Liang.
"Thank you, thank you. Thank you so much!"
Su Liang was dizzy from the pie that fell from the sky, and the look he gave Lu Taipan went far beyond ordinary admiration and longing.
Is it so easy to be satisfied?
Lu Taipan couldn't help but think.
It was clearly just such a simple help, but Su Liang felt as if he had received a great favor. The uncontrollable joy made the usually indifferent snake master feel a strange and complicated emotion in his chest.
I want to love him more...
But at the same time, he particularly wanted to bully the boy in front of him - rising at the same time as his pity was this kind of bad, even childish desire.
"There is one more thing I need to explain to you," Lu Taipan suddenly said to Su Liang, "My help is not completely free. In fact, I am very expensive."
Su Liang's smile froze and he blinked.
"I understand... It's reasonable to say it's expensive. Mr. Si, you're a high-level professional mecha master... Well, can you accept... payment in installments..."
The young Beta's voice faded away. He subconsciously calculated his savings and then suddenly came to his senses.
"A Leia flower."
Then, Su Liang heard Mr. Si whispering to him.
At first he didn't react until the other party said again: "My reward is a Leia flower."
Su Liang was a little dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, but I have already agreed with the housekeeper that the flowers of Leia may help the snake master's illness. These Leia flowers will eventually be sent to the head of the Lu family... Mr. Si, which one do you want?"
Su Liang couldn't hold on for long.
Seeing that the young man had already turned around and was about to pick the flower, the cold, scary-looking and unapproachable man suddenly said in a sinister tone: "The Snake Master may be a good person in your mind, but in fact, he is still a cold-hearted and extremely tyrannical person. You took away a Leia flower that should have been sent to him, and you may be punished later."
Su Liang: “…”
Okay, now he was really sure.
Mr. Si has a really bad relationship with his immediate superior, the snake master Lu Taipan.
"I will explain it to Mr. Butler." Su Liang smiled helplessly, and then said, "I don't think the Snake Master should care about these. Of course, if he really wants to punish me for this, I can accept it."
As he spoke, Su Liang touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly.
He lowered his head, avoiding the man's pointed gaze.
"In fact, Mr. Mi, you can also change your reward. Because... I should have left a flower for you in the beginning."
"Thank you so much for saving me, Mr. Mi, and for all these years."
"I really don't know how I can ever repay you..."
"Thank you very much, very much."
…
Yeah, I know.
In a trance, Su Liang seemed to hear someone laughing softly.
Is it Mr. Si who is laughing?
Su Liang immediately looked up at the man, but the mask covered his face tightly, making it impossible for Su Liang to judge his true expression.
But he could be sure of one thing, that is, Mr. Si seemed to be very happy now.
Returning to the Snake Lord's residence, Lu Taipan saw Lu Zhengen sitting restlessly in the living room.
He is a middle-aged man who looks quite reliable, with a sincere and honest face that is easy to trust.
I have to say, judging from appearance alone, there is almost no similarity between him and Lu Taipan.
Seeing Lu Taipan coming, a trace of fear flashed in the slightly fat man's eyes, but what followed was surprise - Lu Zhengen did not expect that he would actually be able to meet Lu Taipan this time.
Based on previous experiences, even as the temporary head of the family, it would be extremely difficult for him to see Lu Taipan who was "recuping".
In fact, Lu Zhengen is not the only one who feels this way.
The housekeeper was also surprised.
[I didn't expect you to come to see him in person? Weren’t all the meetings before done via remote holographic channels? Wait, are you planning to assassinate his mom right in the living room? If you need me to start the cleaning robot in advance, just let me know...】
Artificial intelligence is also chattering today.
[By the way, during this short period of time I searched the intelligence database and made a basic deduction of Lu Zhengen's purpose. If I guess correctly, the temporary head of the family begged you to attend his competition tour speech. 】
The housekeeper's words almost overlapped with Lu Zhengen's crying.
"Ami! You really have to save your brother this time——"
Lu Zhengen used his superb acting skills to force out a full expression of family affection on his face. He looked at Lu Taipan with a sad face and sighed.
[Ever since you 'retired', the Lu family has been repeatedly frustrated in their fight for seats in parliament, but our temporary head of the family still doesn't seem to want to give up hope. In the past two years, he has spent a lot of money to build momentum for himself, hoping to get into parliament. 】
"If I can't get a position in the parliament this time, our Lu family will be finished! The Lin family, the Bai family, who doesn't want to step on us. Even the Ning family...if we can't keep our composure this time, who knows if they will bite us back! Ah Si, since I protected you in the Lu family before, you really have to help me this time!"
Lu Zhengen recounted with great sorrow the various setbacks the Lu family had suffered during this period.
[Obviously, he has also discovered that relying on his own efforts may not work, so now he is thinking of inviting you, the evil god, to take a walk and scare other people so that he can gain some power by relying on your residual prestige. 】
Lu Taipan sat silently in a dark chair at the end of the reception room. He listened quietly to the merciless and harsh complaints of the artificial intelligence in the headset, as well as Lu Zhengen's worried cries at the bottom of the stairs.
He said nothing, and as Lu Zhengen spoke, his voice became quieter without him noticing.
"...I have made full preparations for this tour speech. Everything is for the best. There will be 40 video companies broadcasting the entire star region in real time. I just want more people to understand me, no, to understand the determination and position of the entire Lu family. Ah Si, I know you don't like to be involved in this kind of thing. I don't want you to clear the obstacles for me... That's right, you just need to show up, just come alone, you don't have to do anything, you don't have to say anything, I just hope that everyone can remember that it was the Snake Cave, and it was you, Lu Taipan, who saved everyone. If it weren't for you, the Earth Alliance should have changed its name to Canaan's Ninth Colony by now! These people can't have received the favor of the Lu family in the past, but now they want to get rid of the Lu family. You should understand your brother's painstaking efforts, right?!"
[Wow, when you were recuperating, he almost fought with others to grab the position of the head of the family. Now he is pretending to be like this. Doesn’t he feel ashamed? But...well, why do I feel that he looks a little familiar? 】
The housekeeper was shocked.
Seeing that Lu Zhengen was still nagging, even as an artificial intelligence, the butler seemed a little overwhelmed.
[My dear master, do you really not need me to clean him out? Tsk, so annoying. If it's a holographic meeting, I just need to cut off the signal. If it's a real-life meeting, it's tiring to drag this adult fat male human out...】
Then, the butler suddenly stopped talking.
Although there was no physical presence of the butler in the reception room at this time, Lu Taipan was still keenly aware that several heads were waving in his direction.
That was the butler observing him.
Is this my illusion? You seem very strange today. What happened? You weren’t so “gentle” to Lu Zhengen before…】
After a while, Lu Taipan responded to the housekeeper's doubts in the channel with an expressionless face.
"Lu Zhengen is lucky today."
It just so happened that he was in a good mood.
