Chapter 64 [Extra] Lantern Festival 5
*
"Take a look at your private terminal. There is an invitation letter from the 'Beast God Planet' Chamber of Commerce."
Looking at her wide eyes, Fitzgerald couldn't help but bite her slightly parted lips, then he sighed softly, "I received it too, but the main character of the invitation is you."
Su Xi did not miss the sadness behind his calm words, and at this moment, of course, she had to go along with him first!
She raised her head and assumed the most submissive posture, opening her lips and letting him vent his sour and possessive desire.
Until she couldn't help but let out a soft "hmm", that kind of soft whisper with a little breath, instantly ignited the strong predatory intention in Alph's breath. However, it was very obvious that it was not appropriate to do anything deeper at this moment.
Fitzgerald, who had great self-control, snorted in dissatisfaction, then stepped back with restraint.
I have already waited four months, so I can wait a little longer.
He pinched her flushed face with his hands, looking at her aggrieved expression with watery eyes, her dark blue eyes like the night. But when Su Xi looked closely, the silver pupil lines refracted with the light, but it was unmistakable that they contained the deepest tenderness and smile.
Su Xi blushed, smiled, and stroked his strong features with her hands, then held his face with her small hands and praised him very seriously: "My prince is great! He finally learned to 'ask if you have anything to ask'!"
Then, her pink cherry lips curled up with an extremely sweet smile, and Su Xi kissed him several times along the line of his lips that were slightly pursed because of his dissatisfaction with her tone.
"I'm so happy! Really!"
Fitzgerald's expression relaxed and his brows opened slightly.
While Su Xi said all kinds of sweet and nice words, she pecked him a few times on the cheeks, forehead, brow bones and eye sockets with a smile.
"We're getting along better and better, aren't we?"
Fitzgerald helplessly let her continue to peck and kiss him on the face with an inexplicable excitement, and then kept praising him as enthusiastically as if she was praising a kindergarten kid.
Until the undercurrent in my heart is completely tamed and calmed, until the suppressed alpha breath softens. Just like the towering cold glaciers, after a long polar night, are gently brushed by the short spring sunshine across the sharp edges of the mountain top, inlaid with warm golden edges.
"Okay, don't change the subject." The alpha, who always had a cold and hard expression, finally softened his brows. He leaned back and relaxed, allowing the nano-shaping sofa under the two of them to adjust to a suitable angle for lying down according to the owner's movements and mood.
His iron-like arms held her slender waist tightly, and with a light push, she was completely pressed against him from waistline to chest.
Fitzgerald sighed secretly in his heart, raised his head slightly, stretched his slender neck line, and his sexy Adam's apple rolled up and down, enjoying her active intimacy and playful kiss.
"Ask me again, can you tell me?"
In order to prevent this little liar from getting happy and talking nonsense again, I tried to evade the topic, or as I always did in the past, I would catch him when he was about to explode and rub him, and let the matter go while he was confused and infatuated.
"Um?"
He urged her in a hoarse voice. She had always "taught" him to ask questions when he had them, but he would hesitate and not answer even after asking!
Mixed with the suppressed and inexplicable heat in my body, my heart gradually began to become angry again.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Xi said hurriedly, sensing the dangerous atmosphere, and at the same time, she did not forget to give the man a few more soothing kisses on his slightly pursed lips. Then she met his eyes and smiled calmly.
"But I need to see what it is about first." She wasn't deliberately procrastinating, she just forgot the specific reason and didn't know where to start without reading the text message. The word "Yuanxiao" is indeed a distinct Chinese pronunciation.
Su Xi stood up while holding onto his chest. She was about to sit aside properly, but a strong hand pinched her slender waist, preventing her from moving.
She could only helplessly sit in this straddle position, tap the terminal with one hand, and open the invitation letter to check.
Oh, that's it!
There was a glimmer of understanding in her eyes.
"say!"
His eyes narrowed slightly, and although his expression was gentle, his tense tone still involuntarily revealed a bit of the toughness of his alpha nature.
Men in high positions are used to using simple imperative sentences to express their wishes. Only when facing her will they use gentle words such as "can you" and "can you" to express equality and respect. He is so precious to her.
But the result? She was used to never taking his words seriously.
He was used to this little liar blatantly deceiving him, and always liked to deal with him by acting coquettishly and procrastinating when he got angry.
But——
Thinking of this, Fitzgerald smiled lazily in a place where Su Xi couldn't see. He never refused her trickery and could even be said to enjoy it.
For example, right now, in the private living room of the Sun Swallow's living cabin, the usually strong and cold red-haired alpha is now sitting on the sofa in a relaxed manner, letting his omega rub on him with a gentle temperament, enjoying her soothing and flattering kisses.
"Last time on the Beast God Planet, we encountered a large-scale sacrifice of the local tribe," Su Xi, tired of kissing, leaned on his chest again, and slowly played with the wind collar under his Adam's apple with her delicate white fingers. When the sofa stood up before her, it had been adjusted to a normal angle, but her waist was still held in someone's arms, and she was completely wrapped and embraced by the tall figure.
"The Golden Tribe's sacrifice?"
"Yes, it was that time. I originally didn't intend to intervene. But those kids were too pitiful..." Su Xi squinted her eyes and recalled, slowly narrating what happened.
She felt sleepy as she spoke. She hadn't had a good sleep in the past four months. After her mental power reached a certain level, she no longer needed a "complete sleep" to restore her energy. But she didn't know if it was a psychological effect or some other reason. Whenever she was close to him, especially when they were chatting casually like this, she would return to her previous sleeping habits.
That kind of deep, extremely sweet dream without any purpose.
So, often on non-estrus nights, Su Xi likes to sleep with her man two days a week. For her, that is pure and real sleep.
As for being woken up by someone in the middle of sleep or just after falling asleep, that is another matter.
"You can be saved temporarily, but not forever." Su Xi squinted her eyes as if reminiscing, enjoying the warm big hand above her head massaging her scalp with five fingers combing her hair. Su Xi was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep.
"So I gave Asai and the others an idea, but I didn't expect that they would expand the Lantern Festival into a real festival after the war. Well, looking at the description on the invitation letter, it does seem a bit similar to the original..."
While letting sleepiness creep in, he kept talking about the details of the last incident.
Fitzgerald lowered his eyes to see her dazed look, and reminded her, "The pronunciation of this word is very special. It is not one of the 1,365 common words in the Beast Star Region."
"ah?"
"You little liar. You don't tell the truth." The red-haired alpha lowered his head and first rubbed the small area of skin behind her ear, then moved to the earlobe and bit her punishingly.
"Hmm? Are you still going to tell me?"
Su Xi wrinkled her small facial features in a slight pain, and then she lost all sleepiness. She said awkwardly, "Didn't you guess it? You must make me tell you..."
As she became more experienced in hiding things from him, he became more and more adept at detecting her concealment.
"say."
"It's not a big deal. 'Lantern Festival' is just a festival. To me," Su Xi grabbed the big hand that was combing her hair, and her slender white fingers rubbed and entangled with his, and pointed to a certain place on his head, "it used to mean 'reunion'."
"Asay would know because I shared a deep spiritual connection with him before!"
"If you want to know, I can tell you everything. It's not a secret," Su Xi blinked, trying to act coquettishly to quickly dodge this meaningless topic, "but it's been too long, and I can't remember a lot of things."
"Just like the word 'Lantern Festival' this time, it probably refers to the event a long time ago. Maybe it was just a 'landscape' I made casually in my fantasy world. Do you care about such a false memory?"
"Oh," Fitzgerald said calmly, "Memories can be false, but how can you tell the difference between feelings and emotions?"
Su Xi's breath was choked, and she thought to herself, "Oh no! Why did we get back to this topic again?"
Whether you tell the truth or a lie, it is a question that can get you killed in a matter of minutes!
"You can fool him, but even if he stabilizes his mental strength to 4S, he won't be able to comprehend the relevant laws." There was no smile in Fitzgerald's eyes anymore. He loosened his collar as he felt a little short of breath.
"But with your current level of mental strength, how can you not understand?"
She certainly understood that the 'matter' and 'spirit' of this world were originally two different aspects of the 'transcendental essence', and the relationship between the two was not just 'mutual influence', but they were actually a complete 'homolog'!
Therefore, from the perspective of the spiritual body "Su Xi", the "landscapes" she created in the Asay brain area can be regarded as the existence of "complete reality".
The unnecessary thoughts that Reina Asai is currently entangled with are completely unnecessary.
but--
她既然已經決定了要跟阿薩伊保持距離，就不會去告訴他這個事情，由得他誤會的好。更何況，在那些似真似假的記憶中，她給自己的人設是‘撫養者’！
就這樣的關系，有什麽值得這個男人把這麽點事兒醞釀成一瓶永遠都喝不完的成年老醋，時不時想起來就喝一口的啊！
蘇熙啞口無言，覺得這人簡直無理取鬧！
這種醋吃得有意思嗎？！
幼不幼稚！
“好！”蘇熙也板起臉，徹底沒了笑意，“那如果追溯回到我跟阿薩伊相遇的那個時間點之初，你覺得依照我那時白癡一樣的常識，弱得不得了的能力，我能做什麽選擇？”
“幹脆放棄抵抗，順從omega的本色，哭唧唧就好了，反正阿薩伊絕對不會傷害我。”
“或者，順水推舟的讓他标記我好了？”
“你是想聽我這麽說嗎？”
蘇熙怒了！她揪着他領口，簡直恨不得揍下去。
突然——
蘇熙覺察出不對勁，這個男人的表情太平靜了，慣常霸道的alph息素并沒有刻意的收斂掩飾，也毫無動怒的波動，只是帶着點郁結的煩躁。
而專注的凝望着她的眼裏，清晰的倒映着一只像小倉鼠一樣發怒的她，他的嘴角甚至還略帶點細微的笑意。
他說：“你不覺得我們在這個人身上争吵過太多，浪費過太多的時間了嗎？”
“要不我們想個辦法，永遠的解決這個問題，好嗎？”
他溫柔的，帶着點誘哄的意味。
蘇熙眯起了眼，現在兩人的姿勢，是她兇狠的揪着他的衣領跨坐在他身上。
蘇熙松開了手，慢慢直起了身，她精致的下巴微揚，居高臨下的以一種審視的眼光看着他。
“說吧，你想怎麽樣？”
察覺到自家omega開始‘正經’生氣了，菲茨傑拉德也不敢逗弄得太過火，他直接的說：“誠實的講，我确實不高興‘他’的存在，也很介意你跟他之間的因果羁絆。”
“但我之前答應過你，不直接插手幹涉，”他抓住她的手指輕輕咬了兩下，“我會做到。”
“我從來沒有不相信你。”
焰色的額發微垂，他叼着她的手指，微微側顏睇她。
“也從來沒有不相信我們的感情。”
一句一句的剖白，伴随着挨個的親吻烙在細白的手指尖。
“哼。”蘇熙哼出一個鼻音，無可無不可的等他繼續表态。
“可我真的不想把時間浪費在這種不必要的情緒上，”他低低的喟嘆，修長的手指展開她抓揉他衣領的拳頭，幹燥的指紋摩挲着掌心細嫩的紋路，他印下一個細致的吻。
“但你能說我的在意毫無緣由嗎？”
蘇熙怔然。
她想起那個事實。
他生命的餘量漫長，而她只是其中出現概率最低的那一條時間線。
對她而言，感情有很多種，無論在哪個世界，總會有不可分割的羁絆。而對他而言，她……她見過他的時間線，荒涼、漫長而孤寂。
“你想幫助他，我不會阻擋。”
“嗯。”
“但盡可能的多留給我一些‘時間’，好嗎？”
“好。”
兩人相擁着，良久無語。
“不過，我看他很有潛力。”菲茨傑拉德輕梳着她的頭發，突然玩味的一笑，“但每次突破晉級時總會出點‘小毛病’，如果這次連霍德曼也無法徹底解決，不若下次我幫他？”
“也省得你次次挂心。”
“你你你——”蘇熙結巴了！氣氛才好沒多久，她還沒從傷感的心情中恢複過來，這個男人又锲而不舍的繞回這個話題！
讓他去幫助雷納阿薩伊？想也不可能啊！
首先，他既不是精神疏導師，也不是愛德曼那樣的全能系，這家夥最擅長的是精神力的‘暴力’破解啊！精神力的強度可以直接硬抗女皇級的蟲核精神體，半點都不帶不含糊的那種！
就連對她，就算明知她腦域有他的精神印記，她是被他所啓蒙才開發出的精神力，無論如何都不會抗拒他的入侵。
但就算如此，他也從不主動進入她最深的潛意識，去建立那麽深刻的‘精神鏈接’，菲茨傑拉德總說那是避免讓‘自己’最黑暗最暴戾的那一面在無意識的情況下傷害到她。
相戀多年，蘇熙當然也摸到了他的本性。
他願意把自己最好的一面呈現在她面前，是她的幸運。
她無意去挑戰人性。
但是——
人性卻繞着彎子來挑釁她！
蘇熙瞪他！
再瞪！
她妥協了，說：“好吧，我會勸說阿薩伊接受愛德曼的幫助。”
頭疼！
故意激怒她，繞那麽大一個圈子，然後又理智冷靜的擺事實講道理，又賣可憐讓她有火也撒不出，最終的目的就是要讓她自己松口！
“但最終的決定權是他自己的，你不準直接幹涉！”
說到最後，蘇熙的語氣有點嚴厲了。
她生氣了，任誰被兜了一個圈子然後自己鑽進套子裏都不會高興。
“好了，氣得像個小河豚。”他眼帶笑意的揉了揉蘇熙氣鼓鼓的臉蛋，“別跟我生氣了好嗎？”
“我沒心情跟你生氣！”
“讓開。”
“別親我！”
“唔……”
吞日號生活艙的這個小小起居室，吵吵鬧鬧之後，終于安靜下來了。
一如以往每個閑暇時刻的相處。
兩人磨磨蹭蹭的膩在一起，一會兒閑話，一會兒親昵，一會兒又小吵一架，這樣的時間總是溜得很快。
然而實際上，從精神接駁艙中清醒過來的雷納阿薩伊，也并沒有耽誤太久。他很快遞上了要求會面的拜訪函。
嗯，是私人拜訪。發送的署名只有一個‘蘇熙’。
加裏如實的轉達了通知。
“你等我，我很快就回。”
菲茨傑拉德眉頭微動，但神情平靜。
蘇熙低頭在他嘴角吻了一下，笑着說，“我們返程的路上，我有禮物要送你，等我跟阿薩伊聊完，我們就走。好嗎？”
“好。”
這次回答得這麽乖？蘇熙驚詫了一瞬，笑着再吻了一下對方的唇角，起身來到一牆之隔的衣櫥間，迅速換裝，并調出鏡子整理儀容。
剛才在起居室磨蹭得全身都是他要發情不發情的味兒，這并不是禮貌的待客方式。
特別是頭發，蘇熙最喜歡幹脆利落的短發，最長能接受過肩的程度，可菲茨傑拉德最喜歡她的長發，還特別介意她剪短，她一直鬧不明白為什麽。
直到後來被藍雅提醒，她才知道！那都是因為頭發又長又多，容易吸附味道，特別是AO那啥之後的信息素附着，效果最好！
可那麽一來，不就相當于被标記後還明晃晃的打廣告嗎？
蘇熙表示實在無法融入ABO社會的這種奇怪的習俗，于是曾經就留長發還是短發，兩人爆發過好幾次戰争……最終，作為omega的蘇熙實在體力不支，舉起蕾絲小白旗投降了。
戰敗國蘇熙剛簽完喪權辱國的協議之後，轉頭就拉着藍雅瘋狂研究起‘去味洗發水’，‘去味噴霧’等系列産品，至于最後産品風靡尹都，瘋賺了一筆那就是後話了。
特別是珍珠項鏈系列的信息素隔離器。
蘇熙從鏡子裏快速的打量自己有無不妥的地方。
剛束好濃密微卷的長發，就瞥見信息素隔離項鏈已經有幾顆珠子顏色黯淡，那代表着除味失效。微皺了一下眉頭，她只得重新換了一根。
“我幫你。”
修長的手指幫她解開舊的那一條，被掩飾的玉蘭甜香瞬間彌漫在了小小的換衣間，然後瞬間就被一旁蠢蠢欲動的alph息素給纏繞吞噬。
略帶失控的，炙熱的吻就烙印了上來，大手撫開梳紮的長發，順着優美細致的線條，輾轉的吻來到後頸的omega腺體處……
“別咬！我生氣了！”
緋紅了臉頰的蘇熙厲聲呵斥，只不過聲音太嬌軟而沒什麽力度而已。
正在沉醉在自家omega的氣息裏不可自拔的時候，收到了愛人嬌滴滴的呵斥，忍不住露出的尖牙頓了一頓，聽話的停下了。這才讓溫熱的舌頭對着腺體的位置狠狠一舔，這才戀戀不舍的退開。規規矩矩的再戴上新的項鏈。
甜蜜的玉蘭香被鎖住了。
但空氣中殘留的A息素交纏的味道，卻毫不意外的附着在濃密的長發上。偏他還心情極好的幫她整理着。
蘇熙拍開他的手，一邊對着鏡子急匆匆的噴了幾下去味香水，一邊在鏡面裏狠狠瞪了他一眼。
但這樣一來，不但沒辦法完全去除那種若有若無的味道，還顯得欲蓋彌彰。
真是！算計得恰到好處！
望着鏡子裏眼若春水，臉頰粉紅動情的她自己，一副剛剛親昵完的樣子。明明他們并沒有做什麽出格的事情。
可這樣子出去簡直就是明晃晃的昭告了慌忙掩飾中，有一場‘不可描述’的運動剛剛完畢。
偏她又說不得他，外人眼中這個冰冷禁欲，自制力極強的alpha，從來只擦邊而過，絕對不會越界。
算了。
Su Xi thought with gritted teeth in her heart.
Reina Assayi was still waiting outside, and it would take too much time for her to change her clothes again, not to mention that someone in the mirror was looking at her with a smile.
Su Xi gritted her teeth and thought to herself, just wait for me!
