Get through the fever period
Alred didn't know how many times he had turned the hourglass on the table upside down. Even though Mu Xiao had just left for half a day, he felt a strong sense of dependence in his heart. He knocked over the hourglass in a fit of irritation, hesitated for a few seconds, and then opened the terminal to connect to the camera in front of the apartment door.
He carefully pulled the progress bar, afraid of missing a frame with Mu Xiao in it. Finally, the figure appeared on the screen, but Mu Xiao was in a very strange condition. The pale skin formed by the female insect staying in the deserted planet and the laboratory for many years was abnormally red.
After his mental strength was damaged, he could no longer use time and space jumps at will. He had no choice but to drive the ship to the apartment while granting the authority to check the camera to his assistant, asking the assistant to check whether there were any suspicious insects there.
The moment Alred approached the apartment, the door opened automatically, and at the same time, a strong smell of pheromones hit him in the face. He bit his lips to stay awake, and the closer he got to the bedroom, the more violently his body trembled. He pushed open the half-closed door, and the charming scene inside made him open his eyes unconsciously.
Warm liquid flowed out of his nasal cavity, slid across his chin and dripped onto the back of his hand. He glanced at the bright red blood beads, took off his white suit jacket, wiped the blood from his nose, and then threw it casually on the floor.
The bed sheet was mostly soaked, with dried white spots on it. It was not suitable for insects to sleep on it. Alred picked up Mu Xiao, whose eyes were blurry, and his voice gradually became hoarse: "I'll take you to the guest bedroom to rest."
Mu Xiao hugged the male insect's neck. The cold body temperature was very comfortable. He couldn't help but let the insect hug him tighter. He tilted his head slightly and spoke with his lips almost touching the crimson earlobe.
Alred didn't hear the female insect's murmurs clearly, but only knew from the fragmentary words that she was looking for some kind of grass. He moved closer and understood what the green plants meant in the intermittent words.
"Not yet."
Mu Xiao was amused by the nervous tone. He grabbed Alred's collar and pulled it down, twisting his hips to press the male insect under him. He lifted the shirt that was in the way and looked at the other's abdominal muscles that rose and fell with his rapid breathing. His dark green pupils darkened even more. "You don't have the final say on this."
There was a raging storm in Alred's spiritual sea. He was brought into this sea area. The surging waves pushed him so hard that he could not stand steadily, and he could only let the sea water submerge his mouth and nose.
Mu Xiao opened his sore eyes and saw the mess in the bedroom. The corners of his lips twitched slightly.
He gently moved the male insect on his chest away, got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water to drink to relieve the dryness and pain in his throat. Before he had taken a few sips of the water, the terminal on his wrist began to flash green light. He realized that he was really a red insect, and there was insect contact so early in the morning.
【Ruowen】Can I meet you?
The moment he saw the message, his vision suddenly went dark, and the sound of electricity "sizzling" shuttled back and forth in his ear canal. Although he was actually standing on the floor, he seemed independent of this world.
"Why are you standing there like an idiot?"
A familiar male voice broke the invisible cage, and Mu Xiao's vision gradually recovered. He blinked uncomfortably several times. Alred was leaning against the wall and smiling at him. He rarely saw a male insect without being carefully dressed up. This relaxed look was still very charming to insects.
He opened his mouth to tell what had just happened, but his vocal cords seemed to be strangled and he could only make a few unclear sounds. He sighed weakly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that Ruowen contacted me on his own initiative, and I was wondering what it was."
Alred clearly saw the embarrassment on Mu Xiao's face and knew that things were not that simple. He put his arms around the other's waist and rested his chin on the bony shoulder. Mu Xiao was too thin, far below the normal weight of a female insect. He touched every inch of bone on the female insect's body and was determined to slowly build her back up in the future.
"Do you want to meet Ruowen?"
"Well, do you want to come with me?"
Hearing this, Alred rubbed Mu Xiao's cheek affectionately. Female insects rarely discussed things with him when they encountered problems, so this was a huge sign that the relationship between the two insects had become closer.
Ruowen looked better than the last time he saw him, but the dark circles under his eyes were heavier, and he looked overly worried. Now he finally got the love of Morse that he had always wanted, but he was not as happy as he had imagined.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Mu Xiao asked coldly, not knowing why he was worried about him.
Ruowen sensed the alienation in the words. He grabbed Mu Xiao's hand, like a believer begging for forgiveness before a statue: "I'm sorry, Mu Xiao. I shouldn't have been tempted to hurt you. After I did that..."
At the beginning, he killed Ruowen according to the agreement of the Toad Clan, and he thought that the other party would really resurrect Morse, but no, they threw the body of the real Morse in front of him. He looked at the rotten body, and his mind was filled with the daily life he had with the other Morse.
The food residue in his stomach kept churning, and the chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He was stunned for a long time before he screamed and ran outside in collapse. Those toads who were evil to the core stopped him with evil smiles on their faces. From that day on, he was trapped in the dense forest and tortured for countless days and nights until he escaped by chance one day.
Ruowen was reluctant to tell the other insects about his past. After a pause, he continued, "I will avenge you, Mu Xiao. I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."
"No, I don't need you to avenge me." Mu Xiao withdrew his hand. Now, for him, he should be thankful to be away from these two bugs and not be involved in a new vortex.
He did a lot for Ruowen and was used many times by Morse. Before, he didn't know what his meaning was or what he should do, but now he knows.
"Don't you believe me? I will definitely prove it to you." Ruowen seemed to think that this was a sarcasm, interrupted him anxiously, then looked at him deeply and walked out of the store.
A few days later, Alred suddenly pushed a piece of the Worm Planet Express to him. He finally understood what Ruowen meant by revenge. The headline of the express was written in bright red: "Enthusiastic Worm People Eliminate the Toad Undercover Who Has Hidden Deep in Worm Planet for Years."
Mu Xiao's pupils trembled. Although he had prepared himself mentally, his heart still stopped for a few seconds when he saw the photo of the female insect attached to the express newspaper. In the photo, Ruowen had a smile on his face, but his eyes were empty. He seemed to be looking through the photo and saying to him, "Look, Mu Xiao, I did it."
He searched all the houses under Morse's name but couldn't find Noh Wen. Finally, with a tentative attitude, he saw the upright black figure in the cemetery.
Mu Xiao walked heavily to Ruo Wen's side. Ruo Wen looked at him, gave him a haggard and weak fake smile, and said, "I finally see his true appearance."
"He has beautiful lake blue hair that reaches his shoulders, and his eyes are very clear sapphire blue. He looks nothing like the blond-haired and blue-eyed Morse." Ruowen didn't know whether he was talking to himself or Mu Xiao, and he mechanically repeated the words he had repeated countless times in front of the grave.
"By the way, he said his name was Lorcan and asked me not to call him Morse. He also said he was an unpopular prince of the Toad Royal Family, and to prove himself, he hid his identity and joined a special Toad organization."
Ruo Wen grabbed Mu Xiao's wrist, forcing the female insect to face him. He frowned and confided, "He said he was wrong and asked me if I loved him... Then he died. Do you think he's crazy? Why did he use me, lie to me, and then say these unrealistic things to me?"
He suddenly felt so cold and empty, so he hugged Mu Xiao carefully, and only dared to use force when he saw that he didn't push away: "Why didn't you tell me this before? I hate him so much, but I'm also so sad. What should I do?"
Mu Xiao gently patted Ruowen's back, like a gentle father comforting an injured female child, and said, "You're just tired. You need to rest well. Come back with me, okay?"
