Chapter 31 I can't control you, can't you be gentler?
The dim crystal chandelier was shaking slightly, a bonfire was burning in the fireplace, the not-so-bright large floor-to-ceiling windows vaguely reflected the figures of two people, and their voices echoed against the walls.
"What day was that?" Bai Ling asked.
In response to his relentless questioning, Yu Chen crossed his hands and rested his chin on them. His unfocused eyes swept over Bai Ling's position in the direction of the sound, causing Bai Ling's spine to shiver for a moment.
Yu Chen said calmly: "Tell me, why do you have this demand?"
"No reason. You said I was loyal to you and you met my every need, and this is one of them."
Bai Ling showed no expression. He used the mermaid's previous promise and gave a beautiful counterattack.
There were some cracks in Yu Chen's perfect demeanor, which were not noticeable but gradually deepened.
He stroked the cufflinks on his wrist again and again, crossed his long legs casually, then changed the position and put them down, finally touched the cane leaning against the table, and slowly stood up from the chair.
Without saying yes or no, Yu Chen carefully suggested: "Maybe you can play a bedtime game with me."
"A game before bed, or some intense exercise?" Bai Ling's lips curled up with a hint of provocation.
Unexpectedly, the dignified and elegant old fish actually nodded and said, "Yes, it's very intense. I will do my best to meet your needs."
A hint of surprise flashed across Bai Ling's face, which soon turned into a sneer.
——Perhaps this guy is no different from other alphas in essence.
Bai Ling had a blank expression on his face and touched his collar: "Where are we going? You pick a seat."
"I'm used to being in the study." Yu Chen answered lightly as he walked towards the bookcase against the wall.
Bai Ling's expression froze, and he said with a hint of mockery:
"I thought an old noble like you would be more particular, but I didn't expect you to be so confused about public and private affairs and do such hypocritical things."
Yu Chen opened the cabinet door and turned his eyes slightly towards him. His dark green pupils reflected a faint light behind the glass. His voice was low and mellow:
"It's not that they can't distinguish between public and private, but they are indeed hypocritical."
Bai Ling frowned and reminded him: "Let me make it clear first, you must provide me with protective measures."
"You have a lot of requests?"
Bai Ling crossed his arms and threatened: "Just tell me if you are willing or not."
"What if I say I don't want to?"
"...Can't you just be perfunctory with me? Anyway, I will make an exception for you." Bai Ling is desperate.
Yu Chen listened to the fluffy sound of the bird's feathers ruffling, and went over in his mind how to make an exception, the specific operation, and the ending. He licked his back teeth calmly and said:
"You know, I'm not good at dealing with children."
"Oh?" Bai Ling turned his head and squinted at him.
"I usually just lure them in directly." The mellow laugh rippled like aged wine. As he spoke, Yu Chen closed the cabinet door and took out a wooden box. On the way, he grabbed a blanket from the back of the bench and draped it loosely over his strong arms.
He slowly leaned over and spread the warm camel-colored blanket on the sofa, and asked casually:
"Are you still wearing the sweater I gave you?"
"I took it off."
"Where did you take it off?" The dormitory?
"On the stool at my feet. What are you doing? I just folded it. Don't ask me to put it on again. I don't want to get all sweaty and sticky."
Yu Chen's Adam's apple twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but imagine how he would be invaded by the cold air and tremble alone, and replied:
"Nothing, just checking. You can move around in any way you feel comfortable while you're here."
Bai Ling sneered back at him.
Yu Chen sat on another single sofa next to the coffee table and beckoned to him: "Come and sit."
Click, click, the light and rhythmic sound of the prosthetic wheel axle turning was heard.
The bird sat down heavily on the sofa, and the springs creaked twice. He slumped backwards without sitting properly, with one of his long, thin legs stretched across the narrow coffee table and resting arrogantly on his gloomy knee.
Yu Chen felt a weight on his knees and felt the delicate ankle swinging aimlessly.
For a moment, he really began to plan to eat this immature juvenile bird, no matter the cost, and refused to stop on the way.
"If I shout later, don't stop." Bai Ling thought about it and decided that it was necessary to fulfill the obligation to inform.
"...What kind of shouting?" Yu Chen was absent-minded, calculating the chances of coaxing the bird into submission after the "violent" incident.
Bai Ling counted on his fingers and said, "There may be random swear words and things like wanting to run away. Don't be too surprised. I have a lot of bad habits."
"Also, don't pinch my stomach too hard. I was shot in the abdomen, and I don't know if it has healed yet. But you don't have to hesitate about it, just follow your normal pace."
Make it clear in advance that this is a necessary principle for adults.
Otherwise if something goes wrong, everyone will be embarrassed.
Bai Ling was not very skilled in implementing this set of principles. However, the target was a troublesome mermaid, and in order to avoid the other party nagging him later and arresting him and giving him a lecture on "dishonesty", he racked his brains to think of some terms.
If it was another alpha...
"Have you said the same thing to other alphas?" Yu Chen's seemingly calm voice hinted at the coming of a storm.
"Not really." Bai Ling said without thinking.
"Just remind me?"
“Because you care.”
In an instant, the string that was about to break in Yu Chen’s mind became warm again.
He dragged the sofa forward and put his knees under the coffee table.
Then he bent down, grabbed the prosthetic limb that was about to move, and pinched the bearing, causing Bai Ling to make a grunt as if there was a bug.
Finally, he gathered his long fingers together and placed both ankles on his knees. On the left is the tenderness of human beings, and on the right is the coldness of machinery. This way, the bird can nest in a comfortable, relaxed posture.
It's like taking care of a baby bird.
Bai Ling really didn't understand, and asked curiously: "What is this habit of yours?"
Yu Chen lifted the long hair behind his ears, leaned forward to pick up the box, and said seriously: "The strategy is to let the enemy relax their vigilance against me first."
Bai Ling liked his term, enemy.
Yu Chen unfolded the box and placed it on the coffee table.
Bai Ling took only one look and jumped up in surprise: "Is this the exciting game you mentioned?"
In front of me is a black and white chessboard with a fine texture. The stripes are clear and the chess pieces are warm and smooth, and it is obvious at first glance that they are antique ivory products with a long history.
To some extent...it is indeed an intense exercise, an intense mental exercise!
"That's it?!" Bai Ling suddenly felt angry as if he had been made fun of.
He knew that this guy wouldn't be so easy to talk to for no reason. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
Bai Ling kicked the mermaid's thigh in anger. He retracted his leg and was about to leave, but was grabbed by a hand like an iron clamp.
After struggling hard for a few times and failing to get free, he cut off the firewood from under the pot and overturned the table.
Yu Chen seemed to have anticipated his reaction. He reflexively pushed up his knee and pushed the coffee table back up, which was about to fall over. The chess piece just slid down the tilted table and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Bai Ling felt a surge of anger in his chest, and he couldn't help but question him, "If you can't do it, don't just promise me so easily!"
"I'm talking about playing games with you."
"The cunning old snake manipulated my words and misled me!"
"I'm glad you got to know me better."
"...Shameless, absolutely shameless! I've been talking for so long." In front of the mermaid, Bai Ling felt even more embarrassed and embarrassed. He angrily avoided her eyes, his hair soaked with cold sweat stuck to his forehead, and his teeth were trembling:
"...You old bastard, why are you teasing me again?"
"You have an injury to your genital cavity, and I don't want to give you a stomachache." Yu Chen explained the objective conditions.
"Can't you be a little gentler?" Bai Ling's eyes were bloodshot and he turned his head to stare at him hatefully.
"I can't control it." This is a subjective condition and also the most important reason.
Bai Ling: “?”
He couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrongly.
This guy flirts with her all day long but never makes a move. He starts to suspect that she is too old and drinks too much waste water, which has led to functional impairment.
Now you tell him that you can't control yourself?
"Are you expecting too much from my self-control, you little bastard?" Yu Chen spoke in a contemptuous tone, with an irresistible intimidating aura of a parent.
He lowered his eyes and covered his palm, slowly rubbing Bai Ling's slender wrist bone with the thick calluses on his palm. He felt that if he exerted a little force, it would break.
"If I let go and attack you, you won't be able to go out this week."
Bai Ling turned her head with trembling eyelashes, and felt very wet between her fingers, almost unable to sit still.
……Grass.
He thought again of the two fingerprints left on the old prosthesis, deep circles, so strong that it seemed as if they were going to crush him.
The statement that I can't go out does have some credibility.
Yu Chen said meaningfully: "If you don't want to compete, I can carry you back to the bedroom right away. Why should I embarrass myself when it's just a matter of self-entertainment?"
Bai Ling bit her lips silently.
...Indeed, he forgot about the game and rushed over without caring about anything.
Besides, there is another reason——
As for his need to relieve stress, his impression was still based on the usual practices of his previous life.
Captive A, tied up, used, and thrown into the garbage dump.
He didn't even remember that Alpha still had subjective initiative in him?
Bai Ling looked the mermaid up and down again, watching her with her arms resting on the armrests, legs crossed elegantly, and her slender, straight trousers without a single wrinkle.
Damn...I can't beat him.
Otherwise, I would have tied him up and made fish head soup!
"I seem to hear you thinking of something bad in your little head?" Yu Chen raised his eyebrows with interest.
Bai Ling was too lazy to play Tai Chi with him and directly proposed a solution:
"There are always more solutions than problems. Just be quiet and don't move when I tie you up. I'll let you go when I'm done. How about that?"
It is really an extremely offensive and lawless "suggestion".
Yu Chen was not surprised that he would have such an idea.
How could a female who can carve "safe travel" on her leg care about the dignity and face of an alpha?
But the more arrogant the raptor is, the happier Depression is, and after decades of decadence and morbidity, a long-lost surge of desire for conquest arises.
For this kind of female, there was no point in talking about his first alpha.
Only if you can take him down and become his last alpha, you can be considered the top male in the food chain.
"That's fine."
Yu Chen leaned forward calmly and pushed the chessboard in front of Bai Ling. His long curly hair like golden seaweed cast a dense shadow on the black and white grid that symbolized the struggle for power:
"If you win against me, you can do whatever you want with me."
Bai Ling saw that there was a chance of improvement, so he immediately straightened up and asked cautiously, "Whatever is fine? Whatever I want to do?"
Yu Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Bai Ling's eyes flashed with pride: "Then you really made a wrong idea."
He can be considered a veteran in the chess field, with at least 50 years of experience in his two lifetimes. He became more and more courageous in middle age, and was once invincible in the interstellar online chess field.
If I count carefully, I have only been defeated by one person in my life.
That is his former guardian, Mr. D.
The old bastard mermaid is definitely going to lose this time!
Bai Ling's mood suddenly became cheerful again. He and Yu Chen bent down to pick up the chess pieces, and kept muttering while arranging the chess pieces:
"Ah, I wonder what color rope and sack you like."
The mermaid replied nonchalantly, "I like the green one. Black is fine too."
Bai Ling snorted. It was indeed a hundred-year-old fish skin that was impervious to swords and guns.
The ivory chess pieces fell one by one and took their places in the grid.
Yu Chen suddenly grabbed his hand, preventing him from moving, and raised his lips and said, "Wait, since this is a fair competition, what if you lose?"
Bai Ling curled his lips: "If I lose, then-"
