Ah, his eardrums were indeed shattered by the sound of his heartbeat; he even hallucinated that Chen Ke was asking him, "Shall we give it a try?"
Chen Ke thought that Chen Zhuo would look up in surprise upon hearing this, or at least be happy, but he didn't expect him to keep his head down and remain motionless.
So Chen Ke cupped Chen Zhuo's face in his hands and asked, "Is it okay?"
Chen Zhuo seemed to only come to his senses at this moment, blinking, "...What do you mean, 'can it or not'?"
"Let's try being together—hmm~"
The moment Chen Zhuo came to his senses, he realized that what he had just heard was not a hallucination.
It was Chen Ke who said it himself.
He asked him if they could give it a try!
Then he asked him again if it was okay!
At that moment, the pitch-black sky brightened, and he, who was sinking in the abyss, grasped the angel's hand and was saved from drowning.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah!" Chen Ke finally managed to push Chen Zhuo away. "You, calm down."
Chen Zhuo's eyes shone brightly, his burning gaze lingering on Chen Ke's glistening lips, his voice deepening, "I can't calm down."
"Then I'll leave first, and we can talk again when you've calmed down." To be honest, Chen Ke was finding it hard to handle Chen Zhuo in his current state.
Seeing that Chen Ke was about to leave, Chen Zhuo immediately sat up obediently. "I've calmed down. Let's talk now."
"When did you find out I wasn't your brother?" Chen Ke took two steps back to maintain a safe distance, afraid that Chen Zhuo would pounce on him again without thinking.
Although he wanted to be reckless and indulge himself, the two of them had just said they'd give it a try and ended up in bed together. Well, that was a bit too fast.
Chen Zhuo: "Can we hold hands?"
Chen Ke: ""
Extend your hand.
Chen Zhuo grasped it with satisfaction, their fingers intertwined.
Chen Ke: ......
"When you return the pen to me."
Chen Ke was surprised, "You noticed so early?"
"Well, because my brother doesn't pay attention to these little things at all. He's selfish and never values relationships. He wouldn't understand what that pen means to me, so he certainly wouldn't go out of his way to redeem it and return it to me."
"...So, when did you start liking me?"
"I really can't remember that, it was a long time ago, but I was too young to understand then, until..."
"Until what?"
Chen Zhuo's eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but pull the person into his arms and whisper in his ear, "Until one morning I dreamed that you stained my sheets."
Chen Ke: ······
Thank you, but you didn't need to tell me so much!
——
Many years later, Chen Zhuo finally had the courage to ask Chen Ke why he had suggested giving it a try back then.
Chen Ke jokingly said that it was because he was a coward; he liked someone but only dared to agree if the other person asked him to.
But actually, Chen Ke only realized his own feelings at that time. However, he was braver than Chen Zhuo to say it. Chen Zhuo had been carefully liking him for so many years, so this time it was his turn to openly like Chen Zhuo.
He said:
"Chen Zhuo, I like you too, so you don't need to be so uneasy. I just overlooked my favoritism towards you because I was too confident that I wouldn't have feelings for you."
When I nearly died breaking the rules of this small world for you, I told myself it was for the greater good of my country. But when I saw you come for me regardless of everything, I knew I could no longer deceive myself. I love you, I love you so much I would give my life for you.

A new colleague recently joined the Quick Transmigration Bureau. He's tall with long legs, a narrow waist and a broad back, and has an amazing figure. His face is also incredibly handsome with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Everyone who has seen him says he's a dream man.
"It's just a bit cold."
"He's a quick-transmigration mission cleaner, a killer by trade. How could he not be cold!"
"Wow, that's amazing! How did they become a Cleaner? What's their background?"
"I heard that the director personally promoted him from the small world, and he even passed the assessment."
"Hiss~ Someone actually passed that kind of hellish test? They must be a devil incarnate!"
······
Chen Zhuo ignored the discussion behind him and pushed open the door to the director's office. "Director, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, the source of the virus that invaded Chen Ke's system in your world has been found. It was a malicious attack by a defector missioner from another world. However, it wasn't targeted at Chen Ke, but at all missioners. He has some source code of the Transcendent Bureau and can create vulnerabilities and bugs to break the world's rules. It will be very difficult to get rid of him."
"I know, when should I leave?"
The director sighed, "You've worked hard, Chen Zhuo. Chen Ke just finished his mission and came back. We should have let you rest and get together, but now we've finally found the traitor's location..." At this point, the director quickly added, "But Chen Zhuo, as long as you complete this mission, you can be promoted directly to team leader and become the youngest team leader in the cleanup department."
Chen Zhuo didn't care whether he was the team leader or not, but the defector might threaten Chen Ke, so he had to get rid of him.
Back home, Chen Ke was playing a space game with a system that had been given a new brain. The system still looked like a cat, but its way of thinking was now like that of an intelligent being. It was controlling a machine and cooperating with Chen Ke to launch a sneak attack.
"Get ready for space jump, pinpoint your location, and don't jump into the line of fire like last time," Chen Ke instructed.
The system flicked its cat tail, looking serious, "Don't worry, Master, if it makes another mistake, I'll uninstall this game!"
"Forget it, you said the same thing last time."
