"Then you can also not fulfill this duty!"
Chen Tian stiffened his neck and stared at the man in front of him, acting like a naughty child to the fullest.
The two men exchanged sharp words, but in the end, Roderick softened and sighed to Chen Tian, saying, "Don't do this again. I just don't want you to get hurt. Okay, let's go back."
Seeing his lover's helpless look, Chen Tian's heart was filled with the urge to kiss the man. How could he let go of this good opportunity to be alone with him?
Turning his head and snorting, Chen Tian took advantage of the fact that the mercenary had already escaped and said casually, "I'm not going back. That guy just showed up and grabbed me and tried to rip my buttons. My clothes were touched by his dirty hands. I need to take a shower!"
Hearing Chen Tian's words, Roderick thought of the scene he saw when he came. He thought he arrived in time and the man had not had time to take action, but he did not expect that the little duke still suffered injustice.
He wanted to pull someone away, and he even wanted to tear off their clothes! Upon hearing this, Roderick was certain that the mercenary had bad intentions towards his beloved boy. His little duke was so perfect, anyone could be tempted!
Thinking of this, Roderick's heart was filled with anger.
If I had known earlier, I should have been more ruthless during the fight just now. I should have stabbed the man to death with a single sword, instead of letting him talk so much nonsense and let him run away in the end!
But it's no use thinking about it now.
"It's late now. It's not safe outside. How about we wait until tomorrow morning to clean it?" Roderick tried to persuade him.
However, Chen Tian shook his head firmly and stood there stubbornly, refusing to leave.
Seeing this, Roderick could only sigh again. Although the spoiled little duke was very cute, he could sometimes be a real headache.
So she had no choice but to compromise with him and said, "Okay, then please let me go with you. I can't rest assured if I let you look for it on your own. I don't think you want to encounter something like what just happened again."
Chen Tian then pursed his lips, nodded reluctantly, and then walked towards a small lake in the forest with Roderick.
The lake wasn't too far from here, and although it wasn't large, it offered beautiful views. The moonlight shone on the lake, creating a subtle glow.
As they passed through the bushes, they startled the fireflies near the lake, and suddenly a large number of them flew up. The surroundings were dotted with fluorescent spots, looking like a fairyland.
Both of them were immersed in this scenery and felt very healed.
Roderick noticed the admiration on his sweetheart's face, and the innocence on her face made him feel relieved, as if she was still a child.
For a moment, no one moved. Seeing that Chen Tian liked it, Roderick caught a firefly and put it in his palm. Sure enough, he saw the boy's smiling face.
"Thanks!"
Chen Tian suddenly said something, and Roderick was stunned for a moment and shook his head. It's just catching a firefly, it's just a small matter.
"I mean thank you, thank you for saving me just now!"
Chen Tian let go of Firefly, his face flushed, and he said it again awkwardly. Then he took something out of his pocket and handed it to the man, saying, "This is a snack Lulu made for me. I think it tastes good. Let me give it to you to try."
Listening to the boy's somewhat awkward overtures, Roderick froze in his tracks. He had clearly done such a cruel thing to him before, but he hadn't expected that just by saving him, he seemed to have changed his mind.
He had a new understanding of the young duke's innocence. His throat tightened, but he felt extremely grateful. Facing such an innocent and kind boy, he felt his heart fall even more.
After opening the bag, the man found a small, delicate cake inside that smelled delicious.
Looking at the little duke who kept stealing glances at her, she looked at him with a gentle gaze and took a bite of the cake.
“It tastes delicious.”
Roderick praised him and ate it all in a few bites. As expected, he saw the corners of the boy's mouth turned up. This made the man's heart jump a little, thinking that this might be a sign that the boy was beginning to want to forgive him.
Seeing his lover eating the cake, Chen Tian's eyes flashed, and he coughed lightly and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Then Roderick nodded and turned his back obediently.
Hearing the rustling sound of clothes being taken off behind him, he suppressed the heat on his face and did not turn around to take a peek no matter how much he wanted it.
But it wasn't long before Roderick felt something was wrong. He felt dizzy, a reaction only associated with alcohol.
Roderick was shocked. What was going on? He had just eaten cake, so why did he feel drunk?
However, it was too late. The man's consciousness gradually blurred. Soon, he lost control of his consciousness again.
He still stood there blankly with his back to the lake. The sound of water behind his ears made him clearly aware that the people behind him were bathing in the lake.
The man's mind was not very clear, he didn't know what he was thinking or why he was here. But his subconscious seemed to tell him not to move, not to turn his head, not to look.
Also, I can’t leave…
But why couldn't he move, why couldn't he turn his head, why couldn't he look at anything? He didn't understand at all.
Where is this place?
It felt like he was by the water. He could smell the water vapor not far away, and the fireflies around him were beautiful. Roderick stared blankly at the night sky, admiring the night view. Not long after, he heard someone approaching from behind.
He still held on to that thought in his heart and didn't turn around, but he heard the young man's clear voice coming from behind him, saying to him: "Rodrick, what are you doing? I didn't bring any spare clothes. Do you have any clothes or anything like that in your space ring?"
Roderick was stunned for a few seconds after hearing the question. How should he answer this question? Who was the person speaking?
Why is his voice so beautiful? Is he an elf from this forest?
"Are you an elf?" the man heard himself asking.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian immediately realized that the small cake with flavored wine had taken effect and his lover was drunk again.
Looking forward to the sweetness that was to come, Chen Tian placed his hand on his lover's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Then turn around and look at me, and you'll know if I'm an elf."
As if he thought what the person behind him said made sense, Roderick turned his head and saw the boy's delicate face.
The flamboyant red hair and blood-red pupils against the backdrop of the night were both mysterious and charming. There seemed to be an indescribable affection in the other person's eyes, which made him fall in love with them.
"Did you see it clearly?" Chen Tian casually put on a coat and curled his lips at the man.
Roderick nodded blankly: "I see it clearly, it really is an elf."
Hearing this answer, Chen Tian couldn't help but laugh. He took a few steps back, submerging his lower body in the water, and said to the person opposite: "Do you want to take a bath with the elf?"
"want!"
The man answered without thinking. Instinctively, he couldn't refuse the boy in front of him.
Roderick took off his clothes very consciously in a few seconds, then quickly went into the water, hugged Chen Tian opposite him, and put his lips directly on the other's lips.
Everything felt so familiar, like an instinct, or maybe he felt that he should do this, they should be so close!
Chen Tian smiled in response and kissed him tenderly. Rubbing her ears against his, she whispered, "Roderick, do you love me?"
"I love you, I will always love you, I will protect you with my life!"
There is no doubt that even if the consciousness is not clear enough, loving you does not require consciousness, because this is my only answer.
It seemed that he was moved by his lover's unwavering answer. Although he knew that he would definitely answer like this, Chen Tian was still moved.
I just want to kiss him passionately, hug him, and let him feel my surging emotions.
So, by this beautiful lake, the two of them spent another extremely passionate night.
The next day, when the sky was dimly light, Roderick woke up again and saw the scene before him. He was more than just shocked.
He didn't expect that just one day later, he would be hugging his beloved boy naked again.
They were still covered with their coats, and clothes were scattered underneath them.
He gently lifted the coat. Fortunately, the marks on the boy's body this time were not as horrific as last time.
As he moved, the person in his arms seemed to wake up.
After Chen Tian opened his eyes, he was stunned for a few seconds. When he saw the person opposite him clearly, he immediately showed an aggrieved expression, which made Roderick feel guilty.
Damn it! The little duke finally trusted me again, and he even expressed his gratitude for saving him last night, almost forgiving me!
But I didn't expect that I would make such a big mistake at this critical juncture.
The man didn't understand why this happened. He didn't drink any alcohol, he just ate a small cake.
But the mistake had already been made, so he still sincerely apologized to Chen Tian. Of course, he was also willing to bear any anger and punishment from his beloved.
But it was obvious that the little duke on the other side was not so easy to accept this apology.
Chen Tian pursed his lips tightly and looked at the man opposite him intently, thinking that such a helpless partner was really adorable.
But he had to hold back! He couldn't rush over to hug him or kiss him right now, otherwise everything would be ruined!
However, since it has happened twice, my lover who is so responsible in this life should at least confess his love for me and say that he will take responsibility!
However, after waiting for a long time, the man did not confess his feelings to him, but only blamed himself and apologized.
This made Chen Tian very helpless, and he could only try to persuade him: "Roderick, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
The man's face was filled with sorrow when he heard this. He lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault, Your Excellency the Duke. I..."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear that!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tian deliberately made his eyes red and stared at the man opposite him.
But when he saw the confusion gradually showing in his lover's eyes, and heard 009 report that the Knights had discovered that they were not in the camp and had started sending people to look for them, he knew that there was no time to continue.
I had to pretend to be angry and bit his shoulder, then ran away angrily.
The author has something to say:
Chen Tian: It’s not easy to be a little devil! My baby is too stupid!
