It is safe to say that there is probably no one in the entire Earth Alliance who is more proficient in mecha operation than Lu Taipan, and at this time, the Lord of the Snake Cave was even personally demonstrating the actual operation to Su Liang. Su Liang knew very well that he should cherish this opportunity, but today he could not become a good student no matter what - after Lu Taipan's words, he remained in the same posture and could not move, completely staying in the passenger seat of Mahoraga.
Young Beta's mind is blank
There was a fluttering sound in his chest as if a bunch of butterflies were flapping their wings, hitting his ribs everywhere.
His face was burning, and his ears seemed to have some hardware failure, constantly repeating the words that Lu Taipan had said before.
[No one else.] 】
[Only you.] 】
…
Su Liang didn't even know how he completed the courses that day.
On the way back to Miyuan from the mecha training ground, Su Liang felt light all the time, and his feet seemed to be stepping on clouds and could not touch the ground at all.
Occasionally, there were moments when Su Liang even felt like he was dreaming.
Otherwise it would be really hard to explain why someone as cold and cruel as the Snake Master would suddenly say such words to him.
After saying those disconcerting words, the Lord of the Snake Cave acted as if everything was normal. However, his face was much more tense than before, and except for the necessary explanations during teaching, he was silent almost the entire time.
But... occasionally, Su Liang's eyes involuntarily swept over the man beside him, only to find that the man who should have been calm and composed had earlobes so red that they were almost bleeding.
Su Liang began to feel panicked.
He vaguely felt that Lu Taipan seemed to have something else to say to him.
However, until the actual operation was over, the cold and hard man did not utter any other words.
After the drill, Lu Taipan lowered his eyes and silently guarded Beta, who was distracted, and then sent him back to Miyuan.
During this process, Su Liang almost couldn't hold back several times. He almost wanted to ask Lu Taipan directly what he meant by that sentence, but when the words came to his lips, his lips seemed to be sewn shut and he couldn't ask at all.
"You can always come to me directly if you need any advice in the future."
Standing at the door of his house, Su Liang heard the man speaking to him in an extremely dry voice.
"Thank you...thank you, Mr. Mi."
Su Liang responded to him in the same stiff manner. Then, without waiting for Su Liang to speak again, the man suddenly turned his head and walked quickly out of the garden, looking extremely embarrassed from behind. Su Liang's face also changed and he felt dizzy and headache.
After a long time, his face flushed and he closed the door dizzily.
As soon as the door was closed, Su Liang suddenly felt his legs go weak. He leaned his back against the door, slowly slid down, and sat on the ground.
"What did you just say?"
Is it a confession?
Su Liang thought about it over and over again but was totally unsure.
He pressed his chest hard with his hands, where he felt a slight pain.
Is it confusion, shock, or... happiness?
The emotions that kept gushing out and tumbling in his chest were so complicated that even Su Liang himself couldn't tell the difference.
If it is a confession, then when did Mr. Si fall in love with me?
No, that's not right. It should be, how could someone like Mr. Si fall in love with me?
Or does Mr. Si just want to take responsibility because of his previous contacts with the other party?
still……
Just like the literal meaning, Mr. Si just thinks he is a very good student. He had no other thoughts when he said that. He just wanted to teach me well?
…
Su Liang listed one explanation after another in his mind, but it turned out to be like a cat that accidentally got stuck in yarn. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank, and in the end his entire brain became a mess.
And just as his thoughts were boiling, Su Liang's eyes inadvertently swept across a corner of the display cabinet.
The boy's movements immediately froze.
The hint of a smile that he himself couldn't even detect was frozen on his face.
It was as if someone was reminding him not to make the same mistake again.
The model that Lu Zhizhao had returned before was now placed there. The model's body, which was full of cracks, instantly cooled Su Liang's emotions.
"I swore an oath not to get involved in this kind of thing again..."
Su Liang smiled bitterly and murmured to the model.
…
But Su Liang didn't know that while he was full of hesitation and at a loss, there was another man in this world who was also suffering.
"A decision full of stupid mistakes."
Lu Taipan did not leave as Su Liang thought. On the contrary, he was wandering among the Leia flowers outside Su Liang's door.
The Lord of the Snake Cave had an extremely solemn expression on his face. He stared at the simple yet fragrant flowers in front of him, his eyes full of regret.
This didn't fit into his plan.
He thought.
Lu Taipan should have completely dispelled Su Liang's concerns and made the other party feel secure before carefully planning and solemnly declaring his feelings to him.
But the reality was, he accidentally spoke out everything that was in his heart in a completely undignified manner inside the gray mecha.
What’s worse is that after discovering his mistake, Lu Taipan was unable to think effectively and make any compensation for his mistake.
This has never happened before.
He's like a robot in a state of panic.
Now, his top priority is to return to his office, conduct a thorough review of his inexplicable wrong decision today, and quickly make remedial measures with the help of artificial intelligence...
The Lord of the Snake Cave's mind knew all the necessary steps, but his body was completely unmoved.
Lu Taipan found himself standing stubbornly outside Su Liang's door, every cell in his body trying its best to capture the scent of Su Liang in the air.
The scent of Beta is very faint, but perhaps it is because of the mental conditioning, even such a subtle pheromone is still clear in Lu Taipan's perception. He could sense the sweet fragrance of joy emanating from the other person, and he could also sense the boy's trepidation, fear, and anxiety...
And gradually, the pheromone with a subtle bitter smell spread
Lu Taipan knocked on Su Liang's door again.
When he opened the door, Lu Taipan's eyes first fell on the boy's panicked face.
"Snake Master?
"I want to talk to you about what I said in the mecha today. I don't mean anything else. I just want to say..."
Lu Taipan carefully considered his wording, trying to use a better reason to cover up his inability to control himself today.
But at this moment, he raised his eyes and glanced casually into the house. Looking over Su Liang's shoulder, Lu Taipan caught a glimpse of the broken model on Su Liang's desk.
That was Lu Zhizhao's thing.
"I hope you can give me a chance."
Then, Lu Taipan heard himself speaking to Su Liang word by word in a hoarse voice.
"I hope you will allow me to pursue you with the intention of marrying you."
In fact, at this time, he should have put on a more gentle and friendly expression to increase his success rate, but because of extreme nervousness, Lu Taipan felt that his expression was a little stiff.
"During my pursuit of you, you have all the rights. If you feel uncomfortable or unhappy, you can stop at any time and I will stop my actions immediately. But my feelings for you will not fade because of this. What I mean is..."
"I love you."
"And I want to marry you very much."
It was a much more fragmented, clumsy and disorganized way of talking and confessing than in the mecha.
The snake cave master's meticulous plan to chase his wife once again became a fantasy.
This made Lu Taipan feel annoyed, but inexplicably, he did not regret his behavior at the moment.
This may be because he simply cannot tolerate the slightest hesitation or delay.
He just wanted to pour out everything in his heart in front of Su Liang.
Those words were like countless pigeons that had been closed for a long time. As long as he opened his lips, they would flutter out spontaneously.
“…”
Su Liang stared blankly at the man in front of him. He opened his lips and it took him a long time to organize his voice.
"I... Mr. Si, actually I...
He almost instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he met the dark eyes of the Lord of the Snake Cave, Su Liang completely forgot his answer.
"OK."
Su Liang said dryly.
The moment those two words fell into their ears, the two people present were vaguely aware of the fireworks blooming deep within their bodies.
Those brilliant and dazzling flames are hot, shining, and colorful, almost enough to confuse one's mind.
Su Liang stared at Lu Taipan intently. It was too chaotic and he had no way of looking away at this moment. He saw the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised, and then he revealed a bright smile that was more frank than ever before, and even a little childish.
"You said 'yes'."
The man repeated it seriously.
"Then I will start pursuing you from now on."
…
When leaving Su Liang's house for the second time tonight, Lu Taipan had restrained his previous momentary loss of composure. The tall man politely said good night to Su Liang, then turned around and walked out of the garden.
After getting Su Liang's "permission to pursue", the calm and confident man returned to this world again - provided that he did not inexplicably trip over himself on the threshold of the garden gate.
"Mr. Si?!"
Seeing all this, Su Liang shouted in panic.
But the man had his back to him and raised his hand and waved it.
"I'm fine." Lu Taipan said. "……Good evening."
Su Liang watched Lu Taipan's figure finally disappear into the night, and he didn't know how long he had been standing at the door.
He stared at the garden in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Good night, Mr. Mi..."
He whispered towards the end of the garden, then he clumsily closed the door like a puppet and returned to the sofa.
The model that Lu Zhizhao returned to him was still on the table, but at this moment, Su Liang was looking at it and couldn't concentrate on it at all.
He put his hands on his knees, recalling the man's back as he left.
For a long time, the young man on the sofa covered his face with his hands, but a smile couldn't be controlled on his lips.
That day, Su Liang had strange dreams all night long.
In the dream, he turned into a skinny little wild cat, which was blown to the ground by the strong wind and heavy rain and rolled around for several rounds.
He was hungry and cold, and his whole body was wet with mud and rain.
He was on the verge of despair, and in despair, he had no choice but to flee into a gloomy castle.
He heard the humans in strange clothes talking about how the most terrible demon king in the world lived in the castle.
This frightened the little wildcat, but he was too cold and too hungry. In the castle, he saw a shiny and fragrant roast chicken on the tall dining table.
He couldn't control himself at all. He just jumped onto the table and started eating with big mouthfuls.
However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that two dim "green lights" suddenly lit up in the dark shadows.
An extremely huge snake that almost occupied the entire hall squirmed its body and entangled the entire dining table.
"baby……"
He heard a hoarse whisper, a very familiar voice.
"If you eat my food, it means that you are my bride."
The giant snake opened its mouth and showed its sharp white teeth to the little wild cat, but it looked like a silly smile.
Then, the snake coiled and trapped Su Liang, who had turned into a wild cat in the dream, in its arms.
…
The next day, Su Liang got up from the bed silently with dark circles under his eyes.
He was in a daze for a while before coming back to his senses from that bizarre dream.
It was such a dream that it was hard to look at, Su Liang covered his face with his hands.
Immediately afterwards, a series of messages suddenly came to Su Liang’s personal terminal, completely shattering the tranquility of the early morning.
Su Liang was startled, thinking something had happened. However, after opening the message, he discovered that the sender was Xue Yinhuan. The voice of the venomous snake in the message was sneaky and the volume was very low.
[Dear Xiaoliang, I need to solemnly report something to you. I think our boss seems to have gone crazy again. 】
[You will never believe this, but last night in the middle of the night, I attacked our boss by surprise. 】
[As a result, I was chased and beaten all night long. Of course, I am used to this kind of thing. This is not the point... The point is that I found that our boss's beating yesterday really didn't hurt at all, and while he was beating people, he actually laughed quickly and suddenly. 】
[I feel so scared, sob…]
[Help, Xiaoliang, please give him some mental support as soon as possible! I'm almost scared to death by our boss! 】
What happened to him? ? ? ? If this continues, who would dare to attack him in the middle of the night? ! 】
Su Liang: ...
