Qi Hanyi looked at Su Su, who was crying with tears in his eyes, and felt as if something was piercing his heart, making it painful and numb.
He untied his tie, rubbed Su Su's wrist, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one will hurt you."
Su Su sniffed. He cried so sincerely that he was still sobbing even after stopping. He looked silly and wronged: "Who are you? You... look so cute."
Qi Hanyi was a little confused. What was going on? Did he forget everything that happened just now?
He didn't dare to tie Su Su up anymore, nor did he dare to leave him alone. He just held him in his arms and took him to the spacious bed. He sighed and said, "Go to sleep. I'll stay with you."
Su Su was held by Qi Hanyi, and he gradually calmed down. The soft quilt wrapped him up, his back pressed against Qi Hanyi's hard chest, and his neck rested on his arm.
Su Su's mind was still a little unclear, but he felt inexplicably happy. He expressed his happiness by gnawing at Qi Hanyi's arm with his teeth.
Qi Hanyi used his other hand to wrap around his waist and hugged him tighter, but he didn't do anything else. He just let Su Su's saliva stick to his arm, which itched and numbed, leaving a small red and swollen area.
Surrounded by the scent of love, Su Su finally relaxed. A strong sense of sleepiness enveloped him, and Su Su fell into a deep sleep.
Qi Hanyi squinted his eyes and looked at the person who was so close to him through the dark night. His arm was a little numb from being pressed, but he seemed to be unconscious and remained motionless.
After such a torment, Qi Hanyi couldn't fall asleep at all. The night was long, but he couldn't help but wish that time could go slower. In this way, he could indulge himself in this warmth that didn't belong to him for a while longer.
But dawn always comes.
When the dawn light shines through the curtains and falls on the soft quilt.
Su Su turned over with a groan and woke up.
When Su Su closed his eyes, Qi Hanyi was lying beside him, with one hand supporting his neck as a pillow and the other hand resting loosely on his waist.
Still dreaming? Su Su was stunned for a moment, and then the memories of last night flooded in like a tide.
Amnesia, stupidity, diving, crying, like a ridiculous comedy, scenes appeared before my eyes.
Su Su froze in his tracks, looking cautiously upwards with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Perhaps because he was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, Su Su didn't mind how many embarrassing things he did. What shocked him was that Qi Hanyi didn't get angry at his nonsense, and he tolerated him contrary to his usual behavior.
It turns out that as long as you act like a fool, you can have the opportunity to cuddle and sleep with the person you like?
Su Su was even a little jealous of himself. When he was sober, Qi Hanyi had never been so gentle to him.
"Awake?" Noticing that he moved, Qi Hanyi pulled his hand back and half sat up. He hadn't slept all night, and just closed his eyes and dozed off for a while to keep himself alert. His hoarse voice couldn't help but reveal a bit of tiredness.
Su Su glanced at Qi Hanyi's arm, which he had used as a pillow for half the night. There was a small patch on it that was slightly red. It was the spot he had bitten last night.
Su Su licked the tip of his teeth. He had wanted to bite Qi Hanyi for a long time, but Qi Hanyi didn't even give him a chance to get close to him. Unexpectedly, he achieved his wish last night.
Su Su thought in reverse. If he continued to play dumb, wouldn't Qi Hanyi let him do whatever he wanted at this rate?
If you want to hug, hug; if you want to cuddle, cuddle; if you want to chew, chew; if you want to sleep, just...
"Get up when you're awake." The voice from above had returned to its usual coldness.
"Who are you?" Su Su tried to act ignorant, but his cunning eyes betrayed him.
Qi Hanyi's fingers, which were buttoning his shirt, clenched a little more unconsciously: "Don't play dumb. I know you're awake."
Su Su understood belatedly that the "awake" that Qi Hanyi said did not mean waking up from sleep.
Su Su failed in his attempt to play dumb, and was a little frustrated. He also sat up and asked, "How did you know that?"
"The eyes, movements and tone of voice are all different." Qi Hanyi said, "I have taken courses on torture. Your acting skills can't fool me."
"Are you guys learning how to tie up prisoners during interrogation? No wonder his tie was tied so tightly yesterday and I couldn't untie it." Su Su muttered to himself.
Qi Hanyi, who had never learned how to tie up a prisoner: ...
"Is this also a side effect of the medicine you are taking?" Qi Hanyi took the initiative to change the subject.
"I think so?" Su Su said, obviously frustrated. "It seems that we have failed again this time."
Qi Hanyi didn't know how to say comforting words, so he could only rub Su Su's head in silence.
However, Su Su adjusted his mood quickly, and recovered in just a few seconds: "The side effects this time are so strange. I was fine after taking the medicine, but I became stupid at night, and I was fine after a good night's sleep."
Su Su changed his mind and felt that this was a good idea as it would not affect his ability to play games and participate in competitions during the day, nor would it affect his ability to accompany Qi Hanyi to family dinners at night.
When night comes, he can still ask Qi Hanyi to sleep with him. After all, it is easy for him to act up when he is alone. What if he finds a bathtub and drowns himself?
Qi Hanyi saw the red marks on Su Su's wound, but he remembered another thing that bothered him a lot.
"Did you ever come across a shark fishing boat when you were a kid?"
"There were a few times, but I escaped each time." Su Su recalled with some fear: "The sharks that were caught were in such a miserable state. Their dorsal fins were cut off. Some were taken away, and some were thrown back into the sea, but they didn't survive."
"So you still want to become a human?" Qi Hanyi didn't understand. Su Su had always been very close to him and trusted him, but where did this closeness and trust come from? He had been hurt by humans, or witnessed his peers being hurt. Shouldn't he be afraid of and hate humans?
"But I have been rescued by humans. When I was very young, I lived on the shallow beach. Because I was smaller and weaker than other sharks of the same age, I was always hungry and was bullied by other sharks of the same age."
"There was a kind grandmother living nearby who would share some of the fish she caught with me. If she hadn't helped me, I would have starved to death by then."
Su Su suddenly became proud when he said this: "She also praised me for my good looks, saying that I was the most beautiful little shark in the area."
"There is no good or bad in human beings, only the things people do can be divided into good and bad." Su Su's eyes were clear and distinct: "I took revenge on those guys who hunted me. I bit their fishing boats, woke them up in the middle of the night, and stole their fishing nets. When they came out to check, I hid in a sunken ship. They couldn't find me, so they had to leave. After several times, they thought there was a ghost here and dared not come again."
"You were quite good when you were a kid." Qi Hanyi's tone was filled with a subtle tenderness. Su Su said it lightly, but he could feel that Su Su's childhood was actually quite difficult. Without parents to take care of him, he had to survive alone, was bullied by his peers, had no food to eat, and had to face the threats of various natural and man-made disasters.
"I'm even more powerful now!" However, Su Su completely missed the point. He was praised by Qi Hanyi, and Su Su's self-confidence swelled rapidly. Qi Hanyi was such a powerful human being, but he actually said that he was powerful!
He was about to brag about his achievements in the game, but he swallowed the words back.
I can’t say it, I can’t say it. If I say it and then I don’t get first place, it will be so embarrassing. The little shark is still very persistent in his competitive spirit.
Su Su entered the game with the belief that he would win first place.
Before the third game started, the players were waiting in the hall. There was no excitement like yesterday, and they only talked quietly with people they knew.
The rules yesterday were so confusing that everyone could only prepare according to their own understanding.
In a corner of the hall, the team of [Chongxiao Guild] firmly controlled this area, driving other players away, for fear that they would eavesdrop on their intelligence.
In the crowd, a few skinny guys still had some doubts on their faces.
【Wu Shi Mo】, taking advantage of the master-disciple relationship, took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Master, you said you have seen through the intentions of the designer of the competition?"
"That's right. If we lose contact in the game, just remember, don't do anything unnecessary in this round and concentrate on completing your own tasks. Don't get into conflicts with other players. If nearby players are in danger, help them if you can." [You Lai Wu Hui] said firmly.
"No? We go help other players?" Some players in the team couldn't sit still: "What does this mean? Aren't we all in competition? If we help them, how much should we help? What if we help them to get ahead of us? If it's really a Zerg invasion and they are dying, are we going to save them with our own lives? What if someone is plotting against us?"
[Give but no return] Raise your hand and signal the other person to calm down: "You don't have to really risk your life to help, but at least you have to pretend to help. Of course, if you are in a crisis, protecting yourself is always the first priority."
【五匙墨】 was confused: "Master, I still don't understand. Aren't we competing?"
【Give and Take No Return】: "Of course it is a competition, but this competition is multifaceted. The first round focuses on individual strength, while the second round is more about teamwork. So what do you think this round is about?"
"This competition is not just a simple competition. Anyone who gets into the top ten will be eligible for admission to the Imperial Military Academy. The first place winner will have the opportunity to meet the admiral of the expeditionary force. There are also some rumors that Qi Hanyi has not yet selected the next pilot of the Bai Ze. If the first place winner of this competition can win Qi Hanyi's favor, he may directly enter the Bai Ze fleet and be trained by Qi Hanyi."
"Then we can guess that to become such a key starship pilot, what is more important than personal strength and teamwork ability."
"The deduction rules have not been announced. If I'm not mistaken, the deduction rules for this game should not be simple. In addition to completing the task normally, killing the Zerg to complete the task, and ensuring your own survival, there may also be points for your character, character, and overall perspective."
"So at least for now, if you don't want to be eliminated, put aside your intrigues for the time being, treat this as a real war against the Zerg, and regard yourself as a brave and loyal Imperial warrior."
Su Su did not have the lengthy analysis of "There is a way forward but no return" that he had heard, nor did he have the ability to guess the intention of the person who set the question.
However, like other players, he saw the following reminder when he entered the game: Please treat this as a real war, forget about your competition with each other, and work together for the victory of mankind.
A real war? What is a real war like and what should he do?
Su Su blinked blankly. To be honest, he had some experience in hunting, but he had no idea about fighting.
