Chapter 59 025 It’s not pain, but an indescribable feeling…
The "Chief Guide" position in the Alien Management Committee is not just a nice-sounding position, but also a symbol of honor. The subsidies are more generous and there is access to resources that ordinary guides have no access to.
As the face of the Alien Management Committee, he is fully responsible for all diplomatic affairs, and other departments must cooperate. He is a man of great fame, status and wealth.
As a guide, who wouldn't want that? Wu Cisheng certainly wanted that, and he'd been working hard towards it.
Before doing anything, you will consider whether it will affect your reputation. Before speaking, you will think twice to find a more tactful way. Isn't it all for the sake of gaining more people's favor and winning votes?
He wants to get as many people as possible to support him!
He wants to perform more perfectly!
He must not make any mistakes!
Before he awakened, Wu Cisheng first heard of the Chief Guide in a newspaper headline.
Most of the article was devoted to the story of the chief guide. At the time, Wu Cisheng was still young and could not read many words, so he could only guess and piece together her story from other people.
A girl born in a small village but possessing incredible talent, originally from an impoverished family, has seen her life transformed simply by her change of status. In an interview, she smiled and said she would do a better job of helping people solve their problems in the future and would definitely not let them down.
At that time, Wu Cisheng and his mother were still living with his uncle's family. From time to time, he would hear his uncle's children say why he always stayed at other people's homes, or he would hear his aunt complain at the dinner table about the recent increase in vegetable prices.
In order to reduce the chance of meeting them, he always stayed out very late before returning home.
At that time, he wondered if he could become the chief guide and be allocated his own house and receive a lot of subsidies.
Yes, Wu Cisheng's initial reason for wanting to become a chief guide was just that superficial. But the more he learned about it, the clearer it became that this was his only path.
After all, compared to other professions that require both connections and family matters, and the selection process is not transparent, at least for the "Chief Guide", voting at every stage, from nomination to selection, is open.
There is always a chance.
Wu Cisheng has always been working towards this goal and has mentioned it to Lucas in the past. He was not surprised that he would say this, but he just didn't understand why he suddenly said this at this time?
Furthermore, what does it mean to say "I won't leave, I won't go anywhere else except by your side..."? Wu Cisheng keenly captured the key word "not leaving".
…
He had always known that Lucas was not from this world, and he believed deep down that he would leave sooner or later, but he actually said... he wouldn't leave?
“………”
Seeing Wu Cisheng silent, Lucas probably thought he had said something wrong and quickly apologized, wanting to say that he was not very good at speaking and couldn't say those sweet words...
"You're not leaving?" Wu Cisheng repeated. "Why? What do you mean by staying here?"
"That's... that's what I mean."
Lucas was a little confused. He didn't understand what the meaning of not leaving and staying could be, other than the literal meaning. He explained dryly:
"I'm not going back. I'm staying by your side. In my old world, I was just an orphan, a fugitive who wandered from place to place, living a life of displacement. But here, I have you."
Lucas cleared his throat, his voice filled with a hint of unconcealable joy. "And we're still...still like this. I can't leave you. That would be inhumane."
Wu Cisheng didn't respond to his second sentence, but instead joked about his first sentence: "Wandering? I don't think you said that before..."
"Before...I used to brag."
Wu Cisheng hadn't moved since he woke up, and had kept his head resting on Lucas's arms. This was not a big deal, except that every time he spoke, the hot air from his breath just happened to spray on Lucas' chest.
Because of this, I feel very hot in my chest. This scorching warmth has even penetrated my skin and reached my heart.
Lucas thought, Ci Sheng is really amazing, his breathing can even have a penetrating effect.
"Won't you regret it?"
"What are you regretting?"
"……never mind."
Wu Cisheng sat up, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and walked barefoot around the room.
It was daytime and the light poured in unreservedly. Wu Cisheng's skin was white and almost transparent under the sunlight, with a texture like cold jade.
Lucas suddenly blushed and even avoided looking at her, but he couldn't help but look.
The guide's back had smooth lines, lean yet powerful. As he walked, his scapula appeared faintly, its shape as beautiful as a carefully crafted work of art. The faint red marks on his shoulders and neck became more pronounced.
After guessing what it was, Lucas's face felt hot and he looked away subconsciously, but after a few seconds, he couldn't help but sneak a peek again.
Wu Cisheng stopped in front of the wardrobe, reached out to take down the bathrobe hanging on the wall and put it on casually. He tied the belt of the bathrobe and walked around the room looking for something.
"What are you looking for?"
Wu Cisheng didn't say anything either. Suddenly, as if he saw something, he leaned over and reached under the bed to feel around.
"Yeah, it's here."
He took out his cell phone which was out of battery and turned off.
*
The sentry last night was very stubborn because he acted on instinct. He became jealous just by seeing him replying to messages on his phone. He came over and hugged him, his arms like iron clamps, as if he wanted to wrap him up.
That's probably when the phone fell, right? Luckily, the floor was carpeted, so the phone simply shut down due to a lack of battery. It turned on again after being plugged in.
The time displayed on the screen is 10:32.
Wu Cisheng unlocked the screen and immediately called the number marked as Aunt Yang in the address book.
"Aunt Yang, are you here yet? Oh, I see. I had something happen last night... Yeah, I see. Sorry to bother you. I'm fine... Yeah, I was with him. I'll probably come back after lunch to get my luggage. Yeah, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Cisheng glanced at Lucas out of the corner of his eye: "What are you looking at?"
Lucas must have remembered the cell phone incident by now, and looked away guiltily.
Although my memory of last night is a little vague due to the aftereffects of excessive use of drugs, it is still something I experienced clearly. As time goes by, some general outlines gradually emerge in my mind.
For example, I was like a fool out of control at that time. Even if there was enough space around me, I would stick close to Wu Cisheng, wanting to hug him and hold him, hoping that he would only have eyes for me. So I took away his mobile phone again and again, just wanting him to look at me.
For example, the two of them were hugging each other intimately in front of the windowsill, closer than ever before. Through the moonlight, he discovered the faint scar on Wu Cisheng's collarbone, and he subconsciously leaned over and gently kissed and caressed him.
What he remembered most clearly was the feeling of his heart pounding so hard that it caused a dull pain in his chest.
Actually, it was a little painful, but compared to the pain he had endured in the past, the pain at that moment was very weak. He didn't even feel pain, but an indescribable... happiness?
It should be happiness.
After all, at that moment, he also felt the guide's mood very clearly, and even saw his own expression in his blue eyes.
He is laughing.
I have never been so happy.
Last night was the first time for both of them to have a deep bond, and Lucas was the newbie among the newbies. It was the first time in his life that he had done something so close to another person, and it was the same sex, which he had never thought of in the past.
Wu Cisheng was a little better. He had no particular preference for men or women. It was precisely because Lucas looked difficult to approach and because he didn't seem like the type to compromise that when he listened to him and did whatever he was told to do in some unspeakable matters, he would instead gain an indescribable sense of control.
Wu Cisheng was using his mobile phone to change his train ticket. He had just filled in the verification information when he suddenly heard Lucas' voice coming from the bathroom.
Wu Cisheng turned around and found that Lucas had dug out his shirt from the trash can at some point. He pointed at the glaring red prints on the fabric, his voice filled with horror.
"This is the clothes you wore yesterday, right? Why is there so much blood? Are you injured? What happened? Why didn't you tell me?"
Wu Cisheng didn't answer directly when he heard this. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a meaningful smile: "Guess what?
Lucas frowned even more tightly, and walked a few steps to Wu Cisheng, wanting to check if he had any injuries on his body. "Are you hurt anywhere? Did I do it?"
Wu Cisheng didn't say anything, but just glanced at Lucas's naked upper body slowly.
I booked the room in a hurry yesterday and didn't make any special remarks, so the hotel made the usual preparations.
There were two sets of bath towels in total, one for men and one for women. Wu Cisheng wore the men's size, leaving only the women's size. Even the regular men's size was too small for Lucas, let alone the remaining size, so he only wrapped himself in a bath towel after getting out of bed.
When Wu Cisheng's gaze swept over him, he lowered his head and looked at himself.
He had a healthy wheat-colored skin, unlike Wu Cisheng's skin which was so fair that even tiny red marks were particularly noticeable. However, if you look closely, in addition to the criss-crossing old wounds on his body, there were also quite a few red marks.
He thought to himself: [Hmm, these scars are too ugly. Tomorrow… oh no, today I should buy some scar removal medicine…]
Looking up, I saw the guide with a face that looked like he wanted to laugh but couldn't. "If we really want to count who was hurt, it should have been you yesterday. Why didn't you suspect it was your own blood?"
Lucas was stunned for a moment, then realized what Wu Cisheng meant by "yesterday it was you." He hadn't felt it clearly when he was lying down before, but now, after standing for a while, he could actually feel the presence of something.
However, he was not shy or embarrassed. After he found out that it was his own blood, his tense expression immediately relaxed.
“…Then it’s fine.”
Wu Cisheng was amused by his completely different attitude. He put down his phone and looked at Lucas carefully from head to toe, his eyes lingering on his bulging chest muscles for a few seconds.
It’s really big.
Noticing Wu Cisheng's gaze, Lucas obviously began to exert force secretly, and the outline of his muscles became clearer due to his master's movements.
"That's your nosebleed."
"ah?"
"When I tagged you yesterday, you had a nosebleed that covered my shoulder. No matter how hard I tried to wipe it off, it wouldn't get clean... It looked like it couldn't be washed off either, so I threw that piece of clothing away."
“………”
"Don't you want to say anything?"
Lucas looked at Wu Cisheng in his bathrobe, then smelled the two mixed pheromones in the air. Some of his vague memories became clearer, and he just felt his nose a little itchy again.
"As long as you're not hurt, it's fine." He said seriously, "For me, I'd rather be hurt than have you get hurt."
If someone else said this, it would be a lingering love talk, but when Lucas said it in such a righteous tone, it sounded a bit silly for no reason.
Wu Cisheng was about to speak but finally stopped talking.
"Cisheng, are you hungry?"
Lucas raised his hand and casually touched his messy red hair, thinking it was to fix his hair. In his hand was the hotel menu that was placed on the desk.
"I think I can call the front desk to order food, and then someone will deliver it to the room. Hmm... I guess that dress is no longer wearable, so how about sending a new set of clothes as well?"
The arrangement was so perfect, what else could Wu Cisheng say? He just nodded.
*
The original plan was to depart at noon, but due to Lucas's sudden accident, the departure time had to be postponed for one day.
However, the monthly holiday is only a week long, and there are still two days left. It doesn’t matter if you go back one day later or one day earlier.
He had wanted to go back two days earlier, but it was just a precaution. He thought that if he returned to the tower earlier, he could finish the subsequent work earlier, help his colleagues share some work, and give some advice to the trainee guides who were working in the same period, which could also promote friendly relations between them.
Whether the internship guide can pass the internship depends on the final internship score.
This score is different from previous graduation exams. There is no specific exam room or exam questions, and there is no invigilator. It is a comprehensive assessment of your performance.
Before graduation, everyone's ratings of the trainee guides will be collected anonymously. The raters include the sentries who have made reservations, the guide teachers who lead them, colleagues who work with them, and other trainee guides.
Wu Cisheng was not worried about whether he could successfully pass the internship. What he wanted was not just to pass, but to be the first in the guide score this year and get the highest score.
The trainee guide with the highest score in each session will be nominated as the chief guide, and all the guides with the highest scores within five years will be voted on again in rounds.
It just so happens that this year is the last session of five years.
After calling to order the meal and waiting for it to be delivered, Wu Cisheng lowered his head and sent messages to several trainee guides with whom he had a good relationship. After carefully reading the messages three times, he clicked send.
Lucas could see clearly that the general content was that Wu Cisheng was greeting the contact person and said that he had something to do and could not come today, but would be there tomorrow.
The person on the other end sent back a happy expression, and mentioned something he had asked Wu Ci Sheng to do before: his home was far away, and even if he took a bus the day before, it would be after the morning punch-in time when he arrived at Baigang. He should have asked Wu Ci Sheng to help him punch in before, and now he mentioned it again.
Wu Cisheng agreed, it was just a piece of cake.
Then the other party replied, "Thank you, Brother Cisheng," and especially praised Wu Cisheng for the clear files he wrote every time, while the others wrote messy files...
However, Wu Cisheng did not follow his words to talk about the faults of other guides, but talked about other irrelevant things.
After closing the chat box, Wu Cisheng edited and resent the first message to his second friend. He had a casual relationship with this person, and just as he was thinking about how to phrase it, a voice suddenly spoke up from the side.
"Let me help you."
"ah?"
"If I just kill these people, will the position of Chief Guide be yours?" Lucas said seriously, his expression calm. "I can do it cleanly, and you won't be suspected."
I can only say that he is worthy of his background as a space pirate. He has done so many things, such as killing, looting, and so on, that he can speak words that take people's lives so familiarly, as if it were just eating or drinking water.
Wu Cisheng was a little confused: "Why kill them?"
"Aren't they your competitors? I heard that all the trainee guides from the same class are considered competitors," Lucas said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Actually, we have similar situations. It's normal to send assassins to eliminate competitors before an election to increase your chances of winning."
Wu Cisheng sneered upon hearing this, his eyes revealing a sense of arrogance: "That's completely unnecessary. They can't threaten my position at all."
What he said was indeed true. He received excellent scores in several exams during the graduation examination and had an almost perfect performance during the internship. He was almost the first in the class.
However, the guide had always been humble and measured in his words and actions. Lucas rarely saw Wu Cisheng's expression like that, and subconsciously wanted to go over and kiss him.
Wu Cisheng noticed his movements, but did not dodge, allowing several wet kisses to fall on his cheeks.
He pondered for a moment, and his previous arrogant tone subsided a little.
"Actually, my current competitor isn't the trainee guides in the tower, but the previous chief..." Wu Cisheng glanced at the sentry beside him and said, "If you really want to help me, there's a way that only you can do..."
Lucas agreed immediately without even listening to what Wu Cisheng specifically asked him to do.
"Okay, I promise."
Wu Cisheng guessed what the sentry was thinking and added, "I won't let you kill anyone."
