Chapter 49: Weakness: I am cold and have no feelings
When he was in Wild Star, Bai Ling often heard those omega medical staff complaining -
Alpha's mouth is deceiving.
Today he climbs up to the roof and picks up roses to court a mate, and tomorrow he steps on the accelerator and runs away with exhaust gas.
So, we should never look at what they say, but what they do.
Bai Ling turned on the light, and the light instantly spread down.
The mermaid is indeed blind, but for a blind person whose eyeballs have not been removed, their vision is not completely dark. The mermaid felt a little light and couldn't help but flutter her golden eyelashes, a trace of confusion instantly revealed on her face.
But the confusion was gone in an instant, and a smile appeared in the corner of Yu Chen's eyes. Like a parent picking up a child at the school gate, he reached into his pocket, grabbed a handful of things and stuffed them into Niaotuanzi's pocket:
"I don't speak sweetly enough, but I have sugar, is that ok?"
Bai Ling was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Why do you still have candy?"
Yu Chen pinched his cheek and said as a matter of course: "I came out to make people happy, so of course I have to be prepared."
Speaking so frankly made Bai Ling feel at a loss as to what to do. He took the candies silently and wanted to put them in his pocket, but his clothes were wet, so he piled them all on the small table, arranging them neatly one by one.
Bai Ling poked at the blue and white candy skin, somewhat absent-mindedly.
He stole a glance at the mermaid standing by the window and unconsciously clenched his palms.
The sickly blind mermaid, ignoring the dense spies outside, ran out in the icy rain in the middle of the night to look for him. In order to coax him, she risked her life to climb up the dirty fire escape ladder, causing him to be stunned for a long time when he opened the window...
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't touched.
Bai Ling watched Yu Chen take off his cloak and shake off the broken ice on it.
Others are princesses who run away at night, but this one attacked the late emperor at night.
However, this night raid was too awkward. Not only did it fail to completely control the prey, but it also lost a bit of ease.
Maybe it was because of the insufficient lighting in the small hotel, but Bai Ling always felt that this guy's long curly hair was wet and messy, and he looked a bit anxious, giving him the illusion that the iron curtain was cracking.
Bai Ling took a sip of the liquor expressionlessly and said, "You rashly ran out. This is really inappropriate. There are as many people out there who want to restore the monarchy as there are people who want your life."
Yu Chen said casually: "It's okay, this is not the first time I've come out."
Bai Ling frowned slightly and asked, "When was the first time?"
Three years ago? Five years ago? The situation is getting worse year by year. Just look at the dense crowds of investigators and secret police outside.
Yu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was reminiscing: "On Thanksgiving Day, you held my hand and watched the fireworks on the roof."
Bai Ling slammed the bottom of the wine bottle on the table, and the fingers that were gripping the neck of the bottle turned blue.
After a long while, he lowered his gray eyes and said, "You don't have to do this."
Yu Chen was not as stretched as he had imagined. As a major shareholder of the Gorgon Weapons Design Bureau, if you want to see him, you can just find a few alphas to surround and capture him.
At the very least, he said he would go back tomorrow morning. Wouldn't it be enough for the mermaid to have a good sleep, have some breakfast, and wait for him?
But Yu Chen didn't just sit and wait properly.
Those in a higher position should not show their emotions on their face, so as to avoid revealing their weaknesses and being threatened by those below them.
What Yu Chen did was equivalent to revealing half of his cards to him.
If he had any ill intentions in the future, wouldn't he be able to find an excuse to trick the mermaid out?
He had the upper hand over her and had found out her bottom line. It was impossible for someone as meticulous as Yu Chen not to understand the risks involved.
As if understanding the struggle in his heart, Yu Chen replied in a brisk tone: "At my age, it's time for me to be more willful."
Bai Ling gnashed his teeth in hatred: "It's more than willful, it's simply, it's——"
Some people care too much about him.
Yu Chen walked over following the sound, gently stroked the back of Bai Ling's head which was soaked with cold sweat, smoothed his fur, and calmly unbuttoned his shirt.
It's so wet, I have to take it to soak in hot water as soon as possible, otherwise my cold will get worse tomorrow.
A child that worries him.
Yu Chen suddenly said, "Can I change my answer to the question you asked me an hour ago?"
Bai Ling recalled with difficulty, and remembered that he seemed to have asked the other party in the square what he was to him.
The mermaid replied, little darling.
He was inexplicably angry at the time, and subconsciously felt that this was not the right answer. "Little darling" or something like that sounded like the talk of coaxing a child, and it didn't put him on an equal footing at all.
Bai Ling rolled his grey eyes and said in a calm voice: "What do you want to change it to?"
The mermaid carefully held his arm, pulled off the wet shirt that had become stiff and stuck to his body, and said naturally and frankly:
"weakness."
Isoparaiso, the only weakness.
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and his frozen heart began to pump out a stream of warm blood again, which was transmitted to his limbs and bones through his blood vessels.
He prefers this kind of exposure of human nature to the term "deceased wife" which describes the person in terms of spouse's identity.
Bai Ling's tone was still as cold as ice, but his neck was turning slightly red as he said:
"I reluctantly accept your new answer, but it will take some time to prove it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the legs and lifted up, and carried to the shoulders with absolute strength.
"It just so happens that the thing retired civil servants have the most is time." Yu Chen chuckled softly, wrapping his arms tightly around his legs to prevent him from slipping.
Bai Ling's expression was slightly sluggish. He hooked his hands around the man's shoulders and neck, which were covered with dark veins and thick edges. His heartbeat was like a drum.
He felt as if he were placed on a steel frame, a snack on golden tracks, being transported to the bathroom safely and without any bumps.
Yu Chen carefully placed him into the bathtub and tried to adjust the water temperature.
Bai Ling quickly stopped him: "I can do it myself."
The hot water in this small hotel was sometimes effective and sometimes strangely hot. Bai Ling was afraid that he wouldn't see and would get burned.
Yu Chen stepped aside but did not leave. Instead, he leaned quietly against the door with his arms folded, like a dragon guarding a treasure.
His unfocused eyes were lowered, and his thick golden hair fell on his shoulders in slight curls, showing a sense of laziness and elegance.
——It really doesn't fit in with the dim red lights of the small hotel.
In principle, things that would never appear in a dirty street hotel are perfectly embedded in this cheap background, which makes people feel inexplicably...
A familiar yet strange illusion like a dream.
Bai Ling lowered his head to adjust the water temperature. He glanced casually and felt a surge of emotion somewhere in his body. He bit his cheek silently and applied soapy water to his body.
The bathroom was very small, only four steps away. Thinking that Yu Chen was standing three meters away from him, Bai Ling's hands became slightly uncomfortable as he rubbed the bubbles.
"I am embarrassed by your standing there."
Yu Chen was originally afraid that he would fall down after getting drunk, so he looked at this. When Bai Ling spoke, he nodded and said:
"I'll close the door. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
Bai Ling stood dripping in the bathtub, his mechanical legs and knees stretched straight. He said stiffly:
"No, I mean, you can soak with me."
It's better to have two people embarrassed than one. This is how Bai Ling convinced himself.
·
Yu Chen would not be like other alphas who would rush to an omega's invitation without knowing the truth, but would prepare for the aftermath according to his previous habits.
He told Uriel to fetch the clean clothes he had brought with him, and asked him to order a nutritious dinner suitable for birds, "all fruits and vegetables must be complete, and double the amount of meat."
By the way, AI was also summoned.
The AI arrived in the blink of an eye along the fiber optic network cable, hacked into the terminal operator in a second, and excitedly popped up a pop-up box on the interface:
"Salute! In position."
Yu Chen inputted the command: "Take over the area and prevent any information leakage."
The AI saluted excitedly: "I see. Just like before, we control the entire continent, right?"
Yu Chen told it mercilessly: "Just use the hotel as a radius of 500 meters."
AI replied disappointedly: "Oh..."
All we can say is that the AI is what its owner trains it to be. It's also a complete control freak.
The AI was very familiar with controlling the terminal camera. The familiar little red light was dimly lit. It tried its best to turn the lens wider and look into the bathroom:
"Is the mechanical bird in there?"
"Um."
"Would you like to join him in the bath and help clean out the dirt inside?"
"……almost."
"Can you put me on the bathroom counter, point the camera at you, and let me get some historical data on the relationship between pure-blooded mermen and androids?"
"No." A very decisive answer.
The AI gave a serious reason: "But I don't have any records, so I can't integrate the data and further push it according to your preferences."
Yu Chen rolled up his trouser legs slowly and took off the metal suit sock buttons. His noble profile was illuminated by the warm light in the bathroom, making him look more handsome than human:
"You can analyze Bai Ling more and learn my preferences."
AI: "Mechanical bird = interest preference, get it."
Get ready to feel the flood of big data, master!
·
Soaking in the warm water that covered his chest, Bai Ling gradually became drowsy.
The ceramic bathtub walls were very slippery, and he relaxed his body unconsciously and slowly lay down in the water. In a trance, he felt the thick liquid sealing his mouth and nose. He was forced to sink and float in the aimless darkness, overflowing, and being licked into the stomach by the tongue of the monster in the water tank, and eaten gracefully and cruelly.
"Ah!" Bai Ling woke up suddenly, his wet hair sticking to his forehead.
Even after soaking in warm water, the astringent and cold feeling I felt just now still clung to my spine and would not go away.
Soon, a warm big hand covered his waist and pulled him up to sit, "Did you choke?"
Bai Ling lifted his heavy eyelids to look at the mermaid, then lowered his head and said, "It's okay, I just fell asleep and had a bad dream."
He had that kind of dream again, of a formless monster lurking in the water, of the fear of a silent landscape... When he had mental disorders before, he was often troubled by such nightmares and couldn't live a normal life.
With her gloomy eyes lowered quietly, she lifted his cheek lovingly and kissed his forehead gently:
“You’re under too much pressure.”
Bai Ling blinked, her wet velvety eyelashes brushing across her gloomy jaw like a small fan. Seeing that the other person was still dressed neatly, with only his trouser legs lifted, she asked him:
"You're not coming in?"
Yu Chen's eyes suddenly darkened, but his expression was gentle: "Don't ask Alpha this kind of question next time."
"Okay." Bai Ling's voice was light and seemingly harmless, but he suddenly grabbed Yu Chen's waist and pulled the mermaid into the water.
Wrapping his legs around the mermaid to prevent him from moving, Bai Ling raised his body high, propped his hands on both sides of the bathtub, and stared at the mermaid's handsome face floating on the water with a condescending and cold expression. He raised his lips proudly:
"I won't ask, but I will just 'invite' alpha in."
Yu Chen pulled back his wet hair, revealing his high forehead and deep eye sockets. His eyes were filled with indulgence and tenderness, and he said with a half-smile:
"This isn't a free fishing ground, you little bastard."
His shirt was soaked through, and through the texture of the fabric one could vaguely see the shape of his abdominal muscles pressed against his body, which made one's throat tighten for no reason.
Bai Ling silently averted his eyes, but thought it would be a waste not to take a look, and it would cost money to go out and see this level of things, so he forced himself to turn back.
With the addition of a mermaid, the bathtub suddenly became too crowded.
Bai Ling carefully retracted his legs, trying to make as much space as possible. The mermaid sat up with her powerful arms, and her graceful face suddenly moved closer to him.
Those eyes were a deep green like emeralds. Bai Ling accidentally encountered it and was instantly immersed in it, with the vitality and decay of the late summer forest emerging in his mind.
Lifting away the green, underneath is bottomless, rotten black soil.
What is he thinking about...
Bai Ling shook his head, clearing the broken consciousness from his brain.
It seems that he may really be under too much pressure, causing the sequelae of mental disorder to resurface. He needs to go back to see Dr. Lin for a mental stress test and get some regular demulcents to drink.
"You just said your stomach hurts. Is it here that it hurts?" The mermaid's words interrupted Bai Ling's thoughts.
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Yes, my belly button hurts a little, it's okay..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the mermaid pulled him into her arms, placed her palms on his stomach, and slowly massaged and circled around his belly button.
The force was cautious and careful, as if he was something fragile.
Bai Ling leaned against the dark and broad shoulder, silently turned his eyes and stared at his steep outline like a coastal cliff.
This cherished feeling...
Bai Ling closed his eyes quietly.
He had never experienced this since he left his mother as a child...
·
Uriel brought midnight snacks and clothes.
The clothes were brought from Yu Chen's bedroom, so they were naturally his. Bai Ling put on his underwear and only a white shirt on the outside.
The shirt was a little big and hung slightly on him. The hem just covered his waist and hips, revealing a long, straight leg and a half-broken thigh.
Yu Chen told him to eat well, so he left his prosthesis alone to charge and sat on the bench with his one leg dangling.
Yu Chen and Uriel chatted outside for a while and came back. They could only hear the spoon tapping in the milk porridge, but no swallowing sound.
I went over and fumbled around to shake the plate, and sure enough, all the meat had been eaten, and all the cherry tomatoes had been devoured, leaving only the milk porridge with chopped vegetables.
Yu Chen sat down next to Bai Ling and tapped the table with his knuckles, "Don't be picky about food."
Bai Ling took a pill out of the bowl and said, "You drugged me again."
“That’s milk flakes.”
After taking a shower, I turned on the heater in the room, and the alertness I had just felt was driven away by the heat. The hangover symptoms began to show. Bai Ling's head ached. He rested his chin on the table and complained in a daze:
"How can you give me this? It's for baby birds."
"Take two more bites."
Bai Ling bent over, his hot cheek pressed against the table, his heels tapping against the chair legs, and said irritably:
"I don't want to eat anymore."
Yu Chen was about to lament that he had managed to raise the stray kid to be a picky eater when he heard Bai Ling force-feeding him food from the bowl, muttering:
"No, we have to eat it, we can't waste it..."
Sure enough, it still has the same habits as a puppy.
However, his unstable mood and irritability do need to be resolved.
Just now, Uriel hesitantly reminded Yu Chen that tomorrow is the first group match. If the driver is in a bad mood, it will definitely affect his performance. In more serious cases, it may even lead to safety accidents on the track, such as a crash caused by operational errors.
This is why most societies refuse to recruit omega pilots in the differentiation period.
They are almost synonymous with "instability".
Yu Chen knew very well that with Bai Ling's habit of strict self-discipline, he would definitely try his best to stabilize his mentality before the game. But letting your omega go out with a rage in his heart is not Yu Shen's style.
There are many ways to adjust the omega's mood and help him get dopamine.
You can stimulate the glands, do some exercises before bed, or simply follow your omega's needs and please him...
Yu Chen thought thoughtfully: "Did you want to have a health massage before?"
Bai Ling was drinking the milk soup from time to time, and he almost choked when he heard it, "That was just drunken talk, that was just drunken talk."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Bai Ling thought the matter was over. But when he came to his senses, Yu Chen had already started to wash and disinfect his hands seriously.
He stared blankly at the old fish as he slowly wiped the cracks between his nails with a large cotton swab, then he casually took out a new cotton swab and stuffed it between his slightly parted lips:
"Bite it. The wallboard is relatively thin. Don't make any noise later."
What a beast in human clothing!
Bai Ling spit out the cotton swab, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Although it was not a good idea to attack the alpha's enthusiasm, some things still needed to be explained.
"...You'd better not waste your time. This trick doesn't work on me."
Yu Chen rolled up his sleeves meticulously. He had just changed his clothes and now looked like a neatly dressed old aristocrat. He asked casually, "How do you say that?"
Bai Ling said it succinctly, in a way that adults could understand: "I am indifferent. I have no feelings."
Strictly speaking, it cannot be simply summarized as cold.
He has been in a high-pressure stress environment for a long time, and his psychological quality is indeed much higher than others. However, it also brings problems such as false estrus, low fertility desire and severe lack of sex hormones. These symptoms are usually not obvious, but when they are manifested, they are easily combined into one result:
It's hard to vent through basic means.
To be honest, he was quite envious of others who could solve their needs in three minutes.
However, he couldn't do that. His desires seemed to be doing Brownian motion, with no trace at all and it was difficult to find a reliable way to trigger them.
Being checkmated while playing chess with Mr. D might count as one.
Using abnormal means to deal with the enemy alpha is barely feasible.
There is another method, which is triggered by a mental disorder in the previous life. The mechanism of the sudden epilepsy in the brain is even more unclear, so it is also passed.
Yu Chen pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his tone couldn't help but become a little deeper: "If you don't have any feelings, why do you keep asking to sleep with me?"
Bai Ling had a blank expression on his face: "Can't I just satisfy my addiction?"
Anyway, sleeping in Isu Paraiso is definitely not a loss.
Free is the best.
As long as he uses others as a vent, others cannot treat him as a substitute. This is bird magic defeating mermaid magic.
"I don't really advocate that young people indulge in drugs, as it's not good for their physical and mental health."
As the mermaid spoke, she took out a small tube from somewhere and squeezed a small amount of smooth lotion into the palm of her hand.
Bai Ling: “?”
He asked suspiciously, "Why would you carry something like that with you?"
Yu Chen melted the lotion in his palm and tapped his forehead: "This is the moisturizer I bring to remove the scales, little bastard, what are you thinking about."
Bai Ling sneered: "Isn't the purpose still the same now?"
This time Yu Chen did not deny it. He pinched Xiaoniao's shoulder and motioned Bai Ling to stand up first. Then he sat down himself and let Xiaoniao sit back on his lap. With the convenience of the posture, he leaned forward slightly, and the voice could pass by Bai Ling's ear:
"I hope you like the scent of red pine."
Bai Ling muttered, "As long as you don't put pheromones on your hands, it's fine."
He bent down to look down, but the mermaid grabbed his thigh and said:
"Eat your meal and don't get distracted."
