Chapter 32 Out of Control
Nuhra just held Chris's hand tightly, but did not ask him what he was thinking, giving Chris enough space.
With this action, Chris's mood calmed down a little, and he shook Nuhra's hand back.
There was silence between the two of them. Chris was sorting out his emotions, while Nuhra was waiting for Chris attentively.
"I'm tired." After an unknown amount of time, Chris spoke slowly, with a hint of hidden intimacy in his tone.
"Then I'll carry you back?" Nuhra deliberately teased Chris.
Hearing this, Chris forced a smile, and his mood seemed to improve. He sat up straight, turned back to Nuhra, and said seriously, "Why don't you take me back?"
Nuhra raised an eyebrow and reached out as if to lift him sideways, startling Chris, who waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing his goal achieved, he jokingly said, "Why not, dear? Give me a chance to show off."
"No, no, it's too embarrassing." Chris spoke faster than his brain, and he regretted it the moment he said it, and his whole fair face turned red.
"Let's go." Nuhra stood up first, then handed her hand to Coris who was still sitting on the ground, so that he could use the force to stand up.
The two walked back to where they had parked their car. Just as Nuhra got into the car, his terminal's text message alert beeped twice briefly.
Nuhra had the system transmit a message to the blue screen inside the sightseeing car, which came from Adjutant Louis:
Louis: Admiral, Lieutenant General Nall has arranged a visit with you at your military office on June 24, 1049.
Nuhra released the information publicly so that Chris could see it clearly.
He glanced at Chris and saw that he didn't say anything, so he replied "Got it" to Louis who was on standby at the other end, and then set the vehicle's destination to Nuhra's villa.
"What exactly is his intention?" The moment Chris saw the text message, his good mood disappeared without a trace, and he frowned and said in a deep voice.
"I just wanted to test it out," Nuhra shrugged. "Didn't you say before that they had spies in the school? It seems they're quite efficient."
"Then what should we do?" Chris's brain began to think non-stop, "How about we..." He came up with a plan, but this plan also came with considerable risks, so he had to discuss it carefully with Nuhra.
"We should announce our relationship to him directly, but we must make it exaggerated so that he can know about it without making a big fuss about it." Nuhra turned to look at Corris. The moment the two looked at each other, they knew that they had the same idea.
"Let's make it... uh... a little disgusting, and something that goes against common sense." Chris smiled and had the idea of playing a trick on old Nar.
"For example?" Nuhra never knew much about love, and was curious about how Chris could be as "disgusting" and "subversive of common sense" as he said.
In his early years, when he was hanging out with a group of pirates, he had many bohemian colleagues around him, but he was never interested in these things.
Some people laughed at him for being too young to understand the beauty of this matter... But Nuhra himself knew very well that he just had no interest in these things and had not met the person who interested him.
What's more, he has always believed that entering into a relationship casually is an irresponsible behavior to both parties and will sooner or later backfire.
Every time they arrived at a new destination, the pirates would travel in groups of three or four, looking for romantic encounters. Nuhra would sit alone in her room, and when she was bored, she would occasionally play a few romance movies on the system to see what love was like through other people's eyes.
Finally came to the conclusion: it's nothing more than holding hands, kissing, and rolling into bed.
But what if the person he kissed was Chris? Or even further...
"...Nuhra?" Kris called out to him with a hint of confusion. Nuhra came back to his senses and apologized to Kris: "Sorry, I was a little distracted."
"You just told me what to do, but I can't think of it right now..." Fortunately, Coris didn't care about Nuhra's momentary loss of composure and continued speaking.
"Then we'll just have to act according to circumstances." Nuhra was startled by the last thought that came to her mind, but she still maintained a calm expression.
"Hmm..." Kris replied vaguely. It wasn't that he didn't have any suggestions, but they seemed rather blasphemous to Nuhra... He shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of this mess.
No one spoke in the car. Both of them were actually shocked by their subconscious thoughts deep in their hearts. They couldn't help but ask themselves:
Why am I thinking of him in this kind of thing?!
Chris glanced at Nuhra furtively, and the thought that had just flashed through his mind resurfaced uncontrollably: in the office, he had Nuhra pinned down, and with a malicious interest, he had messed up her neat military uniform...
Wait, why would he want to do this?! Chris was about to collapse. Although he had some unclear thoughts about Nuhra, why did this thought suddenly develop into something uncontrollable?!
He wasn't the only one feeling the same way. Nuhra was also experiencing a mixture of emotions. He had previously mentally considered Corris a junior who needed to be looked after, but he hadn't expected to have such thoughts... As Nuhra came to his senses, he couldn't shake the shame and resentment he felt for his actions.
Nuhra didn't consider himself a gentleman, but he always had a high moral bottom line in some matters. Just like now, he couldn't help but re-examine his true feelings for Kris.
For the entire rest of the drive, Chris and Nuhra remained silent in tacit understanding until they returned to Nuhra's villa and parked the car in the garage.
Before getting off the car, Nuhra suddenly said, "...Don't worry, even though we'll meet the day after tomorrow, I'll take care of everything."
Chris knew that Nuhra said this to lighten his burden. Although he was upset, he still thanked Nuhra properly.
After the two got out of the car, they still didn't say anything. Finally, Nuhra started the conversation again: "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Ah, I'm fine with anything, haha." Chris really didn't dare to look at Nuhra again. He urgently needed to be alone.
After all, Nuhra had experienced more than Corris, and his ability to suppress his emotions had been perfected. His attitude towards Corris did not reflect his turbulent mood at all.
"Aren't you going to help?" Although Nuhra felt that it was outrageous that he wanted to kiss Chris, he did not object to being in the same space with Chris.
Chris stood there in a daze, struggling hard in his heart, but in the end, he agreed because he didn't want to miss any moment with Nuhra.
So they hurriedly separated, Nuhra went to the study to handle official business, and Chris returned to his own room.
Nuhra looked at Chris's back as he entered the room, and remembered the idea he had when Chris was sick. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should tell him. After all, his feelings towards Chris had secretly changed.
When Corris returned to his room, he could no longer maintain his expression. He threw himself on his bed, screaming silently and rolling around.
Because of the sequelae and the influence of going out for a walk, Chris was already very tired. Coupled with this emotional fluctuation, he just lay on the bed and fell asleep.
"Chris, Chris... wake up!" Chris didn't know how long he had spent in the dream. When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was Nuhra with a serious expression.
"What's wrong..." Chris was still sleepy and looked drowsy.
"You slept for a long time. Six hours have passed." Nuhra frowned, obviously worried about his physical condition.
"So, have you eaten yet? Sorry, I slept so deeply..." Chris's first reaction was worry. He had promised Nuhra that they would cook together, and now that so much time had passed, would Nuhra have missed out on food because she was waiting for him?
"It's okay for me not to eat normally. A few bottles of nutritional supplements will solve the problem," Nuhra said, helping Corris out of the bed. "However, are you feeling well?"
"Uh... I'm fine." Chris carefully observed Nuhra's expression. He could feel that the other party was in a bad mood.
He reached out and gently touched Nuhra's forearm, trying to comfort Nuhra: "Don't worry, I'm really fine, did I make you worry?"
Nuhra took a deep breath and quickly returned to her usual gentle demeanor. "I'm sorry, I was a little overly worried. I came several times, trying to wake you up, but you didn't respond... I checked your real-time physical data, and it showed everything was normal."
"I even asked the doctor, but they don't know the exact cause either," Nuhra said, seeming genuinely frightened by him. She spoke a little faster than usual. "Since you're awake, let's get a doctor to check you out."
Chris could fully understand why Nuhra was so anxious. If Nuhra were in such a situation, he would probably be even more anxious.
Corris's palm slid down Nuhra's forearm and touched his warm, dry, broad palm. He wrapped it with his own hand and looked directly into Nuhra's eyes: "I'm fine now, believe me."
Nuhra remained unmoved and decided to put into practice the idea he had been hesitating about for the past two days. He said, "Starting tonight, you will sleep in my room."
"Ah?!" Chris was shocked, followed by a burst of joy, and then melancholy.
He knew he might be truly attracted to Nuhra, but Kris wasn't sure. This feeling was too vague, and it came from a cold agreement... He was afraid of getting hurt.
But being close to someone you like is never a bad thing. Chris was actually very happy about this suggestion, but he still acted coy and said, "Isn't this a bit awkward?"
After hearing this, Nuhra looked at Corris with a half-smile and asked, "Is there a problem with me sleeping in the same room with my legal partner?"
Corris locked his gaze on Nuhra's face and gave a sly smile, "No problem, I'd be happy to."
Maya and Arnold, who were standing outside the door, seemed petrified. They slowly turned their heads and looked at each other, their eyes filled with the same shock.
First, their boss is married; second, they are married but sleep in separate rooms! ?
Arnold and Maya didn't know for a moment whether they should go in, for fear that they would be found out that they had heard something they shouldn't have.
Oh my God, they won’t be silenced, right?

Nohra, you are not straight.
Chris, you're not straight either.
