Chapter 149

Su Ci stared at Zhou Yan.

The illusion that had appeared in front of him from time to time before had become a reality. The hand he was holding was different from the tenderness of a cub, and was warm and thick.

He still had a childish look, but because of this bit of childishness, the passionate affection in his platinum eyes seemed even more sincere.

Su Ci didn't dare to look directly into such eyes.

He pursed his lips slightly, and finally let go of his hand in silence, turned around and continued to walk onto the suspended bus.

Facing Su Ci's silent turn, A Yan looked at his released hand, and the smile in his eyes slowly dimmed.

He lowered his head slightly, like an abandoned big dog.

In fact, A Yan could also sense that after he recovered his memory and grew up, there was suddenly a gap between him and Su Su.

Their relationship was not as harmonious as before.

This made A Yan feel a little frustrated and distressed.

He could master all the rules of the world with just one look, whether it was cooking or planting, whether it was learning divine texts or formations, he could quickly see the key points and tricks and master them quickly.

Only emotions are such unpredictable things.

How can he make Su Su like him too?

At this time, Su Ci, who had already boarded the bus, turned around and looked at him. He quickly smiled and then stepped onto the suspended bus.

As usual, A Yan sat by the window, while Su Ci sat on the outside.

Su Ci propped up his chin with one hand. In the past, he would close his eyes and fall asleep as soon as he sat down, but now he was not sleepy at all. His mind replayed the memories of tens of thousands of years, and he gradually became a little dazed.

The floating bus started and moved slowly in the red mist.

This was the floating bus that Su Ci asked the intelligent computer to dispatch. It did not have a fixed route, nor did it stop at any platform. It just carried them aimlessly through the base.

There was silence in the bus.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ci heard A Yan's voice: "Su Su."

The sound made by the machine could not hear the fluctuation of emotion.

After changing back to his original appearance, Zhou Yan's voice did not fully recover - or rather, as the spirit of rules, he was not suitable for talking too much.

Therefore, he still used the communicator to speak, but the voice he synthesized was very similar to his natural voice.

Su Ci turned his head lazily, but when he saw A Yan's appearance at the moment, he couldn't help but stop.

The young man, who was taller than him after recovering, now turned back into the cub appearance he was most familiar with.

The little boy with black hair and red eyes, with a pair of furry ears, gave him a cute smile when he looked over.

"What are you doing?" Su Ci was puzzled.

A Yan moved closer to him, gently pulled Su Ci's hand, and placed it on his head. He rubbed Su Ci's palm with affection, and the synthesized voice was soft and gentle.

"If you like me like this, I can keep it like this."

Su Ci felt the soft fur in his palm, and his expression became complicated. Who wouldn't like a cute and well-behaved beast-eared cub? But...

"Ayan, you should know that if you keep on like this, I may never be able to respond to your feelings."

Su Ci has lived for tens of millions of years, and he knows very well that his love for the cub is absolutely different from Zhou Yan's feelings for him.

Hearing his words, Ayan couldn't help but clench his fists.

Of course he knew this, but...

"It doesn't matter." He lowered his eyes slightly, "As long as you can be happy, as long as... I can always stay by your side, can hear you talking to me, can... touch you, I will be satisfied."

At this point, he raised his eyes, looking at Su Ci with bright and shining eyes.

The intense emotion in those eyes made Su Ci want to escape again.

Why do you want to escape?

Maybe... you are worried that you can't respond to the same emotion.

The past separations did not bring him such heart-wrenching pain, but a kind of faint melancholy and sadness, but it lingered, making him feel very boring every time he thought of it.

So he resisted building too deep a bond, and chose to use sleep to escape the eternal loneliness, but...

Ayan was different.

They were of the same kind, and with Ayan, the biggest problem for him was no longer a problem.

"Susu, whether it's a lover, a friend or a family member, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter to me." Ayan said with a smile.

Although he looked like a child, his eyes had the tenderness of an adult.

Su Ci looked at him, and finally sighed.

"Change back." He said softly.

Ayan blinked and looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't understand why he suddenly said that.

Su Ci rubbed his head, then took his hand back, leaned back on the chair, looked away, and said awkwardly: "I will... give it a try."

Ah Yan looked at his profile and slowly curved a triumphant smile, but when Su Ci turned his head to look at him again, there was only pure surprise in his eyes.

Under Su Ci's gaze, he changed back to his original appearance, with a pure happy smile on his handsome face, and his cheeks were still a little red, like a little puppy who got a bone.

"Su Su, what you just said about trying... is it true?" Su Ci

hummed, and finally couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek.

It was soft and hot, making his fingertips slightly numb.

He couldn't help but let go of him and retracted his hand.

Ah Yan didn't resist from the beginning to the end, just smiled at him foolishly.

Maybe because he talked about it, Su Ci suddenly felt that the tension when facing Zhou Yan relaxed a little, and he returned to his lazy and tired look.

"So, when were you born conscious?"

Su Ci remembered that Zhou Yan said that he had been watching him for a long time, so before he really became a spirit, he should have been awake for a long time.

As for being watched by him...

rules are everywhere, and there is nothing that can be done about it, so Su Ci is not angry.

"I don't remember clearly either."

A Yan shook his head. Before he truly became a spirit, although he had already gained consciousness, he was still in a state of chaos overall.

However, he clearly remembered the first scene he "saw" -

it was a snowy night, and the young man was sitting alone in the withered peach forest, playing a flute tune full of sadness and loneliness.

In front of the young man was a tombstone covered with snow...

At that time, he was confused and just stared at the scene and the figure for a long time, until a thought emerged in his consciousness - he wanted to give that person happiness and wanted to soothe his sorrow.

This was the first thought that came to him when he was confused.

However, A Yan did not want to tell Su Ci, he did not want him to think about those sad things again.

Now life in this brooding house is very good.

Su Ci did not ask any more questions, he looked at the red mist outside the car window and asked: "What are the rules you set before?"

As the spirit of rules, A Yan has a skill that belongs to him, that is - the saying of rules.

The words he said can become rules, of course, the premise is to pay equivalent power, just like he had rewritten the rule that the spirit of the earth could not leave the earth.

After Su Ci left the earth, he also fell into a deep sleep, and because all civilizations on the planet were destroyed, his power recovered very slowly.

Until the interstellar humans discovered this planet again and built a base on the planet.

Because of the active life and the establishment of new rules, his power grew faster and he gradually revived from his slumber, but at the same time, the interstellar humans also brought other problems.

For example, they built prisons on the planet to accommodate those extremely evil prisoners.

The evil thoughts and resentment generated by these prisoners are the best nutrients for the resentful spirit. It grows rapidly and eventually loosens the seal left by Su Ci.

And the resentful spirit eventually noticed his existence.

It controlled the resentment and the monsters born from the resentment to chase him, and humans were greatly affected, and they constantly provided new power to the resentful spirits.

It is true that the resentful spirits can create resentment, but the negative emotions they create individually are actually very limited. After all, they are dead and have long lost the ability to think.

Humans are different. They have seven emotions and six desires. The negative emotions generated by the erosion of resentment are much more harmful than the resentful spirits.

Even he was inevitably eroded.

In the long run, when he is completely polluted, the rules of this planet will also be controlled by evil thoughts.

In order to protect this land and to protect himself, A Yan once again sacrificed all the power of rules and drove all the red mist out of the human base.

Moreover, it was written in the rules: He is the number one cub in the brooding house, and no living creature would doubt it.

So even if the resentful spirit knew that he was in the human base, it never discovered his existence.

As for losing his memory and getting smaller...

since "no living creature would doubt it", that naturally includes himself, so when he woke up again, he really became the number one in the brooding house.

Until he became increasingly weak, the power of rules gradually collapsed, and the resentful spirit distorted the rules, and could invade the human base again in extreme weather, but could not attack human buildings.

Later, Su Ci's arrival saved him from the brink of disappearance and gradually awakened his memory, knowing the last straw of the base's intelligent computer...

"So Xiaozhi is now a living being?" Su Ci touched his chin.

"That's right in terms of the rules." A Yan nodded.

Su Ci called out the base's intelligent computer and asked a few questions, but he didn't find it much different from before. At most, it was a little more emotional.

He shrugged and stopped teasing it, but continued to patrol the base.

The red mist filled the entire base. Fortunately, except for the nursery, other buildings were not attacked by monsters, and almost everyone in the base was equipped with a bottle of garlic perfume, which was barely enough to protect themselves.

A Yan looked at the ghosts outside the car window that were invisible to humans, and his face was inevitably a little solemn.

Although he was not a real cub and did not belong here, he did live here for a full ten years, and after Su Ci arrived, this base has become the most beautiful memory of his life.

A Yan did not want this base to be destroyed.

He could not help but say: "I will heal my wounds as soon as possible, establish new rules again, and let the base return to its former tranquility!"

Then, he felt a palm fall on the top of his head and pressed hard. A Yan could not help but turn his head and met Su Ci's disapproving eyes.

"I've told you many times not to be stubborn." Su Ci said with a frown.

"But..."

"No buts." Su Ci looked at the cultivation garden not far away, "Don't underestimate humans, they are much smarter than you think."

At least Base 24 should be able to restore order soon.

A Yan looked at Su Ci steadily, and after a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Su Su, thank you for caring about me so much, I will become stronger as soon as possible."

"..."

Su Ci looked at his smile, although he wanted to refute, but... well, he really cared about A Yan.

And Zhou Yan and A Yan were originally the same person.

"It's good that you know." Su Ci pouted and wanted to take back his hand, but the young man grabbed his wrist.

He looked at Su Ci with a smile, pressed Su Ci's palm on the hairy ears on his head, and said softly: "Touch me for a while, I like being touched by you."

Although he was touching his ears, Su Ci felt his ears getting warm for some reason.
