Xie Sen tried his best to control his movement to move forward, but his body seemed to have its own thoughts and was completely out of his control.
He glared at Maine and said, "You are so good at fighting, why don't you just dodge it!"
Maine didn't understand what he meant at all. She just stayed where she was without moving, allowing him to get closer and closer, until finally their lips touched.
The first thought in Xie Sen's mind was that the expression was so cold and the lips were so soft, and the next thought was "It's over"!
Before he could figure out whether the word "over" was because of his first thought or because he had taken advantage of Maine, he lost consciousness and fell on Maine.
The moment Xie Sen fell over, Maine quickly retracted the dagger. Only then did he realize that when Xie Sen approached him, he had been unconsciously moving the dagger back.
He stared at the unconscious Xie Sen, his eyes changing again and again, and finally his gaze fell on Xie Sen's neck. He reached out and gently rubbed his fingers along the wound where Xie Sen was cut by the dagger, wiping the flowing blood onto his fingers.
He held up his finger and looked at it for a while, then slowly put it into his mouth. The bloody smell stimulated his taste buds. He frowned slightly, and his eyes became clearer, no longer dark.
"Wake up!" He hugged Xie Sen and patted his face, trying to wake him up. Thinking of the various poisonous animals and plants in the forest, his jaw tightened.
He laid Xie Sen flat on the ground and checked the exposed parts of his limbs and neck. He confirmed that except for the abrasions on his palms, he had no bites or scratches from plants. His expression relaxed.
He grabbed Xie Sen's scratched left hand, and thought of the scene when he pushed Xie Sen away. His eyes were cold. He picked up Xie Sen horizontally and walked out of the forest.
"Chi~" A crisp bird call was heard, and the next moment, a palm-sized black bird flew to Xie Sen's chest and looked up at him.
The feathers on the bird's head are fluffy white, but it is injured. The left side of the feather is stained with blood, which makes the feather tangled into a ball and hangs down, forming a sharp contrast with the fluffy feathers on the right side, making it look both embarrassed and funny.
Maine frowned. He remembered it. When he was beating the beasts, it would chase and peck at them.
He shouted, "Go away!"
The bird tilted its head and said, "Chirp~" Then it rolled on Xie Sen's chest, and its round black eyes looked at Maine again.
Maine glanced at Xie Sen who was sleeping with his eyes closed. He didn't want to waste time, and he didn't have time to spare, so he simply ignored him.
Xie Sen was awakened by the tossing and turning. When he opened his eyes, he saw Maine half holding him in his arms, frowning, holding his arm with one hand and pulling his left sleeve with the other, and was taking off his clothes.
However, Maine's job was so unskilled that he couldn't take off his clothes smoothly because Maine moved his hands around.
Xie Sen quickly said, "I'll do it myself."
Maine paused, looked down at him, then slowly let go of him.
Xie Sen glanced around. This was his room. He took off his loose suit jacket and looked at Maine's left shoulder.
Maine had taken off his dark blue suit jacket and was only wearing a thin white shirt. Most of the shirt was now stained with blood, making it look particularly terrifying.
Xie Sen stood up and said seriously, "Let's go to the hospital first."
Maine didn't respond, just looked at him: "What happened to you just now?" He frowned, "This is not the first time."
He recalled the first time he met Xie Sen. At that time, Xie Sen also suddenly... approached him, and then fell into a coma.
Xie Sen's eyes involuntarily fell on Maine's lips. His face turned slightly red, revealing an embarrassed look: "I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Why did you fall into a coma?" Maine asked.
Xie Sen blinked his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No one actually asked him about taking advantage of him!
He touched his neck and thought that he had saved his life. Could it be that Maine thought he was unconscious and accidentally bumped into him?
Although it didn't seem credible, Maine looked so calm that he couldn't think of a second reason.
He smiled and said that it would be easy if he just asked about the coma.
He couldn't talk about the system, and he couldn't explain it. He gave a close-to-fact answer: "My health is not very good. I have to sleep for one hour every eight hours, otherwise my hands and feet will lose control and I will fall into a coma."
"Uncontrolled?" Maine looked at him.
Xie Sen coughed awkwardly: "Yes."
Maine touched his own lips: "How many people have you done this to?"
"How could I be so unlucky?" Xie Sen said, "Just this once."
"Bad luck?" Maine frowned.
"No, no, no, you are the unlucky one," Xie Sen corrected quickly, saying helplessly, "Brother, this is really an accident, don't mention it, let's go to the hospital to treat your wound first?"
Maine stared at him: "I'm not unlucky, I'm fine."
Xie Sen was stunned. Before he could wrap his mind around this, Maine said, "Let's go. Go get a full-body checkup. Your condition is too dangerous. It's easy for something to happen."
"No need to check," Xie Sen followed him out of the bedroom, "It can't be cured in a short time, we need to find something."
"What?"
"I don't know for now." Xie Sen shrugged.
Maine looked at him, and Xie Sen said, "I don't want to lie to you. This is hard to explain. It will take some time for me to know where to find something to treat me."
Maine looked at him for a while without saying anything, and the two went to the hospital to treat their wounds.
On the other side, the Kes family.
Maine and Rui Luo suddenly attacked and frightened the guests. There was music playing in the hall, and no one knew what □□ was. All they heard was Maine's question, "You forced him to do it, right?"
Many people secretly guessed what this meant. Some perceptive people thought about Maine's identity and soon thought of Maine's father.
When Meyer received the news, Maine had already left, and apart from being frightened and having horrific marks on his neck, Rillo was not seriously injured.
Meyer calmly apologized to the guest and asked Rui Luo to clean up. The banquet continued and the atmosphere became lively again, but it was different from the beginning.
After the banquet, the Kes family and Sokto gathered in the study.
Han Zheng had a sullen face, staring at Rui Luo with sharp eagle eyes. Rui Luo's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. Soria felt sorry for his son and said, "Father, Maine was the first to attack. Rui Luo is the victim!"
Han Zheng ignored him and questioned Rui Luo: "What did you say?"
"No, nothing." Rui Luo's lips trembled.
"You want me to adjust the surveillance?" Han Zheng said in a cold tone.
Rui Luo didn't dare to hide it, and subconsciously excused himself: "I didn't mean to do it, I didn't know he was behind me."
"What did you say?"
Rui Luo: "He said he was a fool. He always thought his father was born in a car accident, but in fact he committed suicide because of him."
Han Zheng's face was extremely ugly. Meier was shocked and turned to look at Soria: "You did it?"
Soria's eyes were flustered and his face trembled. He spoke loudly, as if this made sense.
"It's none of my business, he committed suicide! You only blame me, but have you ever thought about how embarrassing my situation would be if he showed up? I would become the laughing stock of everyone in Star City. It's you," he pointed at Meier, "it's all your fault, it's all because of what you did!"
"Enough!" Han Zheng slammed the table.
He had lost his patience to talk to them and announced his decision directly: "If Rui Luo continues like this, you will ruin him. I have arranged for someone to take him away. He will come back when he is in good shape."
"Where are you sending him?" Soria asked nervously.
"Youth training camp." Han Zheng showed no expression.
"No!" Soria shook his head frantically and grabbed Rui Luo's arm, "I won't let anyone take him away!"
It is a place famous for its harshness. Everyone who enters there uses a pseudonym and is treated equally. The daily training is extremely rigorous. The most terrifying thing is that they also have a death quota.
How could his son, who had been spoiled since childhood, go to a place like that?
Han Zheng ignored him and looked at Suoketo: "Your transfer order will be conveyed to you tomorrow morning, go back and prepare!"
"Admiral," Sokto looked uneasy, "where will I go?"
"You will know tomorrow morning. Go back first."
Seeing that he was not going to answer, Sokto gritted his teeth, saluted, and left.
After a while, four men in black military uniforms forcibly took Rui Luo away. Soria kept crying and making a fuss, so Han Zheng had someone knock him unconscious.
Finally, only Han Zheng and his son were left in the study. Meier said, "Sorry, father."
Han Zheng rubbed his brows and said, "I should have broken up your engagement at the beginning. For so many years, because the Kes family felt guilty towards him, they backed off again and again, and ended up hurting Rui Luo."
He said in a deep voice: "Rui Luo is still young and can be corrected. If there are young people with good qualifications in the side branches, you should pay more attention to promoting them. As for Maine... issue a statement tomorrow to sever ties with him."
"He's not yet eighteen," Meier reminded.
"When is his birthday?" Han Zheng asked, "I will issue a statement the day after his birthday."
"This month," Meier said. "I'll arrange it."
He hesitated and said, "Father, do you really want to transfer Sokto to Mining Star A?" That is the resource star with the worst environment.
"Do you think he wasn't involved in any of those things? You should pay more attention to him. He is not a pushover."
"yes."
Xie Sen and the other man had no idea what was happening in the Kes family. They went to the hospital to treat their wounds and then went straight back to the apartment.
Seeing that Maine's lips were dry, Xie Sen thought that he had lost too much blood and was dehydrated, so he said, "Sit down, I'll get you a glass of water."
Before Maine could say anything about the delay, Xie Sen had already walked towards the water dispenser.
After Xie Sen got the water, he was about to walk back when he suddenly heard a bird chirping from the kitchen. He thought he had misheard for a moment, but then he heard another bird chirping.
He handed the water to Maine and went into the kitchen to check.
As soon as I entered, I saw a palm-sized bird happily pecking at the meat on the chopping board on the cooking table. I took too much meat at dinner and forgot to put it back in the refrigerator.
Xie Sen looked at this scene in surprise, walked closer and waved his hand, trying to drive the bird away. The bird chirped and flapped its black wings and flew to his arm.
He was startled and subconsciously shook his clothes hard, but the bird grabbed his clothes tightly and hung firmly on his hand, chirping non-stop and seemed very excited.
"It followed me all the way back from the forest," Maine said, leaning against the door.
Xie Sen turned his head to look at him, stopped swinging his hands, raised his arm, and the bird stood on his arm, tilting its head with its feathers half drooping and half fluffy, looking at him with its black eyes.
Its whole body is chubby and very cute.
Xie Sen glanced at the meat on the chopping board. At least half a pound was missing. Was it all eaten by this little thing?
"Can you identify what species it is? Is it a carnivore? Is it dangerous?"
"It has empathy, it's a bird-contracted beast, it's not dangerous, and I can't tell its species." Maine said.
Xie Sen suddenly realized: "No wonder he is so smart."
The little bird chirped and rolled steadily on his arm.
Xie Sen looked at it strangely. Did it understand his compliment? It was a bit too smart!
Maine said: "If you like it, keep it. If you don't like it, throw it away."
Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "Let it be. It has a high IQ. If you want to keep it, then keep it. Leave it alone. If it causes trouble, then we'll see."
"It's up to you." Maine didn't care much.
Xie Sen pointed at the remaining meat and asked the bird, "Are you full?"
The bird flapped its wings, flew to the chopping board and continued eating.
Xie Sen immediately understood that this meant he was not full.
He didn't know if the bird could understand, so he warned: "It's rest time at night, no chirping allowed."
The little bird raised its round head from the meat, stretched out its right wing and waved it to the left, tightly covering most of its fat body and beak, revealing a pair of round eyes.
Xie Sen looked at it in amazement for a while, then ignored it and walked out of the kitchen, exclaiming to Maine as he walked, "Its IQ seems to be higher than Jin Yao's."
Maine glanced at the bird, then followed Xie Sen back to the living room: "The higher the level of the contracted beast, the higher its IQ."
"But," Xie Sen thought of the chubby bird, "it's so small, how powerful can it be."
"This is a baby bird," Maine said, "Don't think about it. Go and rest. I'll check it out tomorrow."
Xie Sen reminded: "The doctor said you need to rest for a few days and not overwork."
"I won't go out tomorrow."
Xie Sen smiled with satisfaction, and the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.
After Xie Sen returned to the room, he thought about Maine's reaction and felt a little uneasy. In the forest, Maine's condition was obviously not right. He was unconscious for less than an hour and Maine recovered. It always felt a little abnormal.
He thought about it and left the door open before going to bed to make sure he could hear any noise outside.
He did not sleep well, as his dreams were filled with Maine being injured and mad. He chased after him but could not find Maine, as Maine suddenly disappeared in Star City.
The scene suddenly changed. His ears were filled with wailing and howling, and he saw devastation in front of him. Various beasts were biting each other in the crowd, and blood was splattered everywhere. One pool of blood sprayed towards his face.
Xie Sen woke up suddenly. He opened his eyes with a gasp, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes accidentally swept across the door, only to find that there was a person standing there without knowing when.
The lights in his room were off, but the lights in the living room were on. The man was standing with his back to the light, like a black silhouette. When you looked at him suddenly, he looked particularly scary.
Xie Sen's hair stood up instantly, and he suddenly screamed: "Ah!!!"
"It's me," Maine began, walking into the bedroom, "Are you having a nightmare?"
Xie Sen's heart was pounding, and he thought that no matter how terrible the nightmare was, it would not be as terrifying as suddenly finding someone standing at the door.
He reached out and turned on the light. The bedside lamp showed that it was 2:08 in the morning. He got up and sat up, rubbing his forehead: "What are you doing standing at my door?"
He really wanted to curse, but Maine was pale, with half of his shoulder wrapped in bandages, and looked really pitiful, so he couldn't say anything harsh.
Maine sat on the edge of his bed and pursed her lips: "See if you're there... You didn't close the door."
Xie Sen was stunned, his heart aching slightly. Was he worried that he would leave?
He reached out and flicked Maine's forehead. "Where can I go if I'm not in my room at night? Do you know that you are a patient now? You need to rest more. Your complexion is comparable to the walls of the hospital."
Maine's eyes were intense: "Are you leaving during the day?"
Xie Sen realized that something was wrong with him, he was afraid that he would leave!
He quickly said: "I go to work during the day and come back at night. I come back every day."
Maine said: "You said, every day."
Xie Sen nodded hurriedly: "That's what I said."
Maine looked at him and raised his hand to rub the top of his head: "You had a nightmare, are you afraid to sleep alone? Do you want me to accompany you?"
Xie Sen found it funny. Thinking of the scene in his dream, he wondered, what if Maine gets upset and runs away again?
He rolled over to the other side of the bed, making up most of the space, patted the empty space, and smiled: "That's great, let's sleep together!"
Maine curled the corners of his mouth, lay down next to Xie Sen, and tilted his head to look at Xie Sen.
Xie Sen yawned and closed his eyes: "Go to sleep quickly, you need more rest."
Maine asked, "Will you be unable to sleep with the light on?"
Xie Sen said in a daze, "It's okay. I can fall asleep anytime I'm sleepy." His eyelids moved, and he asked in a low voice, "Why do you turn off the lights when you sleep?"
Maine was silent for a long time before speaking in a dry voice: "When I was very young, I was alone in the house. There was no light and I couldn't see anything."
Xie Sen cursed himself inwardly, what a rubbish question he asked. He reached out and grabbed Maine's hand: "It's okay, you are not alone now, and there is a light, go to sleep."
"Yeah." Maine looked at him, feeling the warmth in his hand, grabbed Xie Sen's hand with his backhand, and closed his eyes.
The next morning, when Xie Sen woke up, Maine was already awake and was turning his head to look at him.
Xie Sen felt a little uncomfortable, as if something was not right in the atmosphere. He tried to cover it up by getting up, looking at the Energy 3 prompt in front of him, and looked at Maine in surprise.
Maine also sat up: "What's wrong?"
Xie Sen smiled and shook his head, feeling sad and touched. Maine gave him energy back, maybe because he was grateful for his company!
At this moment, he deeply realized that Maine lacked love and was too lonely.
He thought that he would never be as bad as Sokto and would never let Maine down!
He had spent a lot of energy chasing Maine last night. He went to bed late and woke up in the early morning. He was not in a good mood. He felt a little more awake after washing up.
He had breakfast with Maine, and before leaving for work, he reminded Maine again, "Don't go out, don't do strenuous exercise! Order takeout for lunch."
Maine nodded and stood at the door to watch him leave.
Xie Sen swiped his work card. Seeing that he was in low spirits, Sun Mao patted his shoulder and advised him earnestly: "Young man, you must learn to be moderate!"
Xie Sen glared at him helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't you see the report about Rui Luo's birthday party?" Such a big thing must be reported, right?
Sun Mao knew that he had attended the banquet last night, and asked quickly: "No, what happened?"
Xie Sen shrugged helplessly: "It's something unpleasant."
Sun Mao opened his bracelet and looked at the news, then shook his head: "There is no news."
Xie Sen guessed that the news must have been suppressed by the Kes family. It would not sound good if news of internal family fighting got out.
Thinking of the fat bird at home, Xie Sen stopped Sun Mao who was leaving the office and said, "Manager Sun, do you know that there is a kind of bird contract beast that is very smart, has white feathers on its head and a black body?"
Sun Mao pondered for a moment: "There are many bird-like contracted beasts with white heads and black bodies. As for being very smart, what level are they at?"
"Higher than A-rank contracted beast."
"That means it's S-level?" Sun Mao thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "If it's S-level, I can think of one - the white-headed eagle beast."
The brightness in his eyes quickly faded, and he shrugged: "There is currently no known bald eagle beast master. Birds yearn for freedom by nature, and are the most difficult species to contract with. Moreover, the bald eagle is the overlord of the sky. The historical records of people who contracted with bald eagles are hundreds of years ago."
He concluded: "So it's no use for you to discover the bald eagle."
Xie Sen thanked him with a smile. He didn't care whether it was useful or not, he just wanted to understand.
Working hours passed quickly in the busyness. When he got off work, Xie Sen opened the system to check the remaining energy, which was already one hundred and fifty-one.
He works at Gold Medal and can collect more than twenty energies a day on average. At this rate, he will be able to activate the third plant in three days at the latest!
Xie Sen was excited. He opened the calendar and took a look. Tomorrow was Friday, and he would have two days off after working one day.
He immediately made a decision to go to the welfare home on Saturday so that he could activate the third plant on Saturday.
When he returned to the apartment, he saw Maine sitting on the sofa, assembling something with his head down. The coffee table in front of him was filled with various parts and circuit boards.
Hearing the noise, Maine tilted his head to look at the door. Xie Sen smiled at him, walked closer and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Controller." Maine explained. Just as Xie Sen was about to ask what controller it was, someone knocked on the door.
Xie Sen opened the door and saw Xu Da standing at the door with a frown on his face. Xie Sen was surprised because the old man always had a smiling face and it was rare to see him so serious.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Xu Da got straight to the point: "We tried many methods, but there was no way to make potatoes and peppers sprout. They seemed to be unable to be planted."
Xie Sen led Xu Da into the living room. Maine glanced at them and continued with his work.
Xu Da was stunned when he saw him, and asked hurriedly: "What happened? How did you get hurt?"
Maine paused, his whole body emitting a chill. Xie Sen shook his head at Xu Da and changed the subject: "Both plants cannot germinate?"
"Yes," Xu Da nodded, and did not continue to ask, following Xie Sen's words, "The plants cultivated at the same time sprouted a few days ago, only the potatoes and peppers you gave me did not sprout."
Xu Da asked: "Is there any special method of cultivation?"
Xie Sen shook his head. He knew nothing about growing vegetables at the beginning. He just threw potatoes and peppers into the ground and they grew up on their own.
In his understanding, the plants exchanged by the system had extremely strong survival ability. He originally thought that the research institute would be able to grow them successfully, and he was ready to wait for the research institute to send him food!
Xu Da sighed and couldn't help wondering: "Could it be that the fruits grown by the plant contract beasts can't be planted at all?"
Maine looked at him suddenly. Xu Da was stunned and looked at Xie Sen: "He doesn't know?"
Xie Sen looked embarrassed and looked at Maine worriedly. Was he thinking that he was deceiving him or something?
Maine said calmly: "I know."
