Chapter 172: Unfortunately, I happen to be their child.
What?
Sleep together???
Wen Jiyu had just heard He Xile's words and had just raised such questions in his mind. The next second, he felt a chill all over his body, and everything was exposed to the air - He Xile was well prepared and acted very quickly. He lifted the quilt as soon as he finished speaking. Even His Majesty Wen Jiyu, who was a veteran of the battlefield, could not stop He Xile's behavior immediately.
Wen sent: "???"
In an instant, Wen Jiyu felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and the blood flowed back to his forehead.
This feeling was even stronger than when Wen Jiyu led his men to attack the Zerg and was ambushed!
...it's over.
It’s over! ! !
Wen Jiyu's mind was blank, the corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and he didn't speak for a long time, not even knowing what to say. Beside him, He Xile had already sat up, blinking, staring at the scene under the quilt.
——The tentacles were so long that they could even circle the entire palace, so most of their bodies were hidden in the tunnel under the bed, but even so, they still seemed cramped and squeezed together.
Suddenly exposed to the air, these relatively simple-minded tentacles were still unable to react and were still wriggling, engaging in a small-scale war for territory.
About three or four seconds later, they suddenly reacted and were collectively petrified.
Not long after, seven stiff, straight tentacles like sticks slowly rose from the edge of the bed, with only a little of their tips exposed, heading towards He Xile, as if they were observing He Xile from across His Majesty's body.
...quite cute?
He Xile discovered that although the part of His Majesty that was connected to the body looked a bit weird and had a strong visual impact, which was very embarrassing, the pointed tentacles were really cute and could offset most of the fear.
The scene before him was much better than what he had imagined in his mind before.
He stretched out his hand and was about to touch His Majesty's waist and abdomen when his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
He Xile turned his head.
Wen Ji's Adam's apple rolled slightly as he observed He Xile at the moment: "...Aren't you afraid?"
He Xile said calmly, "It's okay. I've seen octopuses before. Although this combination does look a bit strange, there are also legendary mermaids on the Blue Planet, with human upper body and fish lower body, so it's okay." After saying this, He Xile paused, surprised, and said, "That's not right. Don't you have the octopus gene?"
Wen sent: "..."
"And." He Xile turned his head, looked at a tentacle behind him, then looked at the tentacles under the quilt, frowning, "The tentacles look exactly the same? Even the size... This shouldn't be possible. There can't be two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. Could it be that you are the giant octopus that has never shown its face?"
His eyes widened and he raised his voice, "So you're not brothers, you're the same person?"
Wen Jiu said: "…………"
He Xile took a deep breath: "You——"
Wen Jiyu subconsciously covered himself with the quilt again. He said with difficulty, "It's like this. You've seen what I look like now. I was afraid you couldn't accept it, so I concealed some of the truth..."
He Xile looked at Wen Jiyu in disbelief, and used all his lifelong acting talent to say in a Qiong Yao style, "No, no, I can't believe it. You! Actually! Lied! To! Me!"
Wen Jiu said: "………………"
Wen Jiyu looked at He Xile and, though he found him a little strange, he didn't doubt him. Thinking of how He Xile didn't dislike his true form, he felt a pang of guilt. He thought, yeah, He Xile had clearly shown great tolerance and gentleness in their previous interactions with humans. Why didn't he just trust him directly, instead of testing him like this?
Isn’t this a lack of trust in your loved one?
Wen Ji was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to hug He Xile in his arms, but he felt that any physical contact at this moment would be a blasphemy to He Xile.
In the end, his hand could only hang awkwardly in mid-air.
After a while, his lips were peeling from anxiety.
He Xile looked at Wen Jiyu at this moment and suddenly burst out laughing. He fell into Wen Jiyu's arms and let out a burst of muffled laughter.
Wen Ji was stunned.
He hadn't expected this kind of human reaction.
Shouldn't she have beaten him, scolded him, and sworn she would never be with him again? Why did He Xile laugh and even throw herself into his arms?
Wen Jiyu asked cautiously, "...You're not angry?"
He Xile laughed enough in Wen Jiyu's arms before stepping back. He sat cross-legged and said seriously, "I'm angry. When I first learned about this, I was indeed angry, but compared to being angry, I care more about your thoughts. I want to know why you did this, and I want to wait for you to untie the knot in your heart and confess to me."
He thought for a moment and explained, "Maybe it's because I like you so much that I can't help but favor you like this."
Wen sent: "..."
Because I like it, so I prefer it?
Wen Jiyu's ears suddenly turned red, and he felt complicated.
——No one has ever said the word "favoritism" to him.
He Xile was actually a little embarrassed.
Chinese people are very reserved. Many people cannot express their love in words, but only express it through their actions, hoping that the other party can guess it. However, not everyone is so observant that their brain waves can match.
But Hai Xinna’s people are different.
Most of them are very positive and express their emotions without hesitation. For example, when He Xile first woke up, he heard many people praising his cuteness. In the past six months or so, more and more people like him. He Xile has heard countless confessions and gradually began to feel that it is great to have the courage to express your thoughts.
Life is short, why waste time second-guessing each other?
So He Xile also directly expressed his thoughts.
"Okay, now I'm going to start asking questions."
He Xile thought for a moment and started by asking what he wanted to know most, "Why do you have this on your face?" He reached out and touched Wen Jiyu's face with his fingertips. The skin was soft at the moment of contact, but two seconds later, tiny scales quickly fluttered and became extremely hard. "Your true form is an octopus, and you don't have scales."
Wen Jiyu didn't answer, he just looked at He Xile quietly.
He Xile: “?”
Um?
Why aren't you speaking?
Isn’t this question difficult to answer?
Well, it's not impossible.
He Xile was about to change the question when Wen Jiyou in front of him suddenly moved. He did not answer He Xile, but like a passionate big dog, he suddenly moved in front of He Xile, first kissed the latter on the lips lightly, and then deepened the kiss.
He Xile was a little confused, but since his lover had kissed him, it was difficult to push him away, so he just went along with it.
The two of them were in an intimate posture and kissed passionately. After the kiss, Wen Jiyu sucked He Xile's lips.
The latter frowned: "Didn't I tell you that your lip was broken, why are you still biting it?"
"...I like it." Wen Jiyu answered in a hoarse voice.
He placed his hands under He Xile's armpits, and with a little force, he picked up He Xile and placed him on his lap.
He Xile was startled and put his hand on Wen Jiyu's shoulder.
The two of them were facing each other with their bodies pressed against each other, and He Xile naturally noticed the changes in Wen Ji's body.
He moved awkwardly, but after just two movements, the touch became more obvious, and he suddenly froze, not daring to move again. Glancing at the other person's red eyes, He Xile shifted his gaze and whispered, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why are you like this..."
Wen Jiyu chuckled.
He lay back and leaned against the headboard, letting He Xile lie half on top of him. He began to tell his story: "I used to think that all the things that happened in the past were thorns in my body. If others touched them, it would hurt, and even bleed profusely. So I didn't want to hear others mention it, and I certainly wouldn't say it myself. But now..."
Nothing else matters anymore.
He Xile is more important.
What's more, Wen Jiyu now feels that it doesn't matter even if he says it out loud - when a person feels that he has love, he will become stronger, and this strength enables him to face everything.
"When my father reached adulthood, his mental strength tested S-rank. His combat abilities were exceptional, and at that time, he was considered the strongest in all of Haixinna. After ascending the throne, he wasn't satisfied with the status quo and sought to expand Haixinna's territory. He took the initiative to invade Zerg territory, but was met with a fierce Zerg counterattack. After my father was severely injured, Haixinna's fighting power was depleted, and its military morale was lost. It was simply unable to resist the aggressive Zerg. The soldiers were defeated, and Haixinna's territory was invaded."
“None of that is in the books.”
Wen Jiyu scoffed, "Father never went to the battlefield again. Some parents always place their unfulfilled hopes on their children. I just happen to be one of them."
He Xile pursed his lips.
"Since I was born, before I could even speak, my father made me watch tons of war videos, and then when I was five, I started the training program he created."
As He Xile listened to Wen Jiyu's words, the image of the pink little octopus working hard to exercise appeared in his mind.
Oh my god.
So well-behaved and cute!
However, such a childhood was destined to make Wen Ji and His Majesty unhappy.
Just like on Earth, many parents want their sons and daughters to be successful. Children grow up in a high-intensity environment and are very depressed since childhood. It is easy for them to have various problems when they grow up.
Although He Xile found the little octopus cute, he also felt sorry for Wen Jiyu, so he leaned his head on his shoulder.
Wen Jiyu raised his hand and rubbed He Xile's head. The soft touch made him smile. "Actually, this kind of life is just a little boring. It wasn't difficult for me to accept it. Until I was eleven years old, my... mother, in order to please my father, developed a drug that could forcibly change and enhance genes."
He Xile was stunned.
Wen Jiyu said expressionlessly, "It takes a long time for the potion to take effect, and they couldn't wait any longer. After discovering that the potion wouldn't be fatal, they decided to inject me first. Twice a day, injected along the spine, until the day before I became an adult. That's it." He raised his hand and touched the black lines.
……What?
He Xile was stunned.
Although His Majesty's tone was very calm when he said this, He Xile could feel Wen Ji's confusion, helplessness and pain from these few words.
How painful must this be?
Even if we put aside the physical pain, what about the mental pain?
