Chu Zehuai had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he and Bai Yu were trapped in the Death Desert again. No matter how long they walked or which direction they went, there was only an endless sea of sand and no hope of getting out.
When the food and water ran out, Bai Yu found a huge plant stem from somewhere. It was emerald green with tiny thorns on it, and looked very juicy.
"Captain Chu, you gave me all the supplies before. I have to accept them this time no matter what. You are very short of water now."
Bai Yu handed him the piece of plant with a sincere look in his eyes.
".....good."
Looking at the other party's earnest and expectant eyes, Chu Zehuai licked his slightly cracked lips and tried to eat the stem of the huge plant.
I can't bite it, it's so hard.
He tried to swallow the stem whole, but the stem was too thick and got stuck in his throat.
This was not the most horrifying thing. The most horrifying thing was that when the piece of plant was against his throat, it suddenly came to life and twisted like a green snake.
...
...
Chu Zehuai:!!!
This is not a thirst-quenching plant at all, but a plant pollutant disguised as food.
One end of the plant stem desperately stretched deep into the throat, while the other end also grew wildly, and soon it turned from a piece of plant into a long vine.
Chu Zehuai swallowed reflexively, and after he came to his senses, he immediately pulled the vine out, but the other end of the long vine had already wrapped around his body, penetrated through his clothes, and tied him up.
The identities of hunter and prey change in an instant.
He just wanted to eat this piece of plant, but the next moment, this piece of plant could eat him.
He felt a cool touch on his skin, and the emerald green vines kept moving, as if they were looking for where to eat, or as if they were considering where to pierce through him.
"Mmmm, Mmm!" (Bai Yu, save me!)
In desperation, Chu Zehuai had to turn to his only companion for help.
Bai Yu was standing next to him, but he seemed not to notice his dangerous situation at all. He touched his face with his hand with a smile, and his tone was gentle but whispered like a devil:
"Captain Chu, there is a lack of water in the desert. Plants that contain water are very precious. If you work hard, you will definitely be able to eat them all."
Chu Zehuai was immediately awakened by this sentence.
"Huh, it was just a dream."
He said how could Bai Yu be so cold-blooded and heartless.
Chu Zehuai wiped the sweat from his forehead. After he spoke, he realized that his throat was a little dry. He looked around.
The strange ceiling, strange curtains, strange bed sheets and quilt covers... everything is strange, but the atmosphere is very familiar, and there is a rich rose scent in the air.
This should be Bai Yu’s bedroom.
Yesterday's memories gradually came back to me, cooking at Bai Yu's house, eating with Bai Yu, drinking with Bai Yu, and confessing to Bai Yu -
Chu Zehuai's face froze for a moment. Did he confess to Bai Yu yesterday?
It seems like a confession, but it also seems like not.
The previous memories are very clear, but they are interrupted at the most critical point.
If the most critical step is not mentioned, then all the effort put into it before will be of no use.
Chu Zehuai sat up in annoyance, and the quilt covering him slipped off, revealing a large area of his chest and shoulders, as well as red streaks and a lot of light-colored powder on them.
"What's this?"
Someone realized later that his face, chest, shoulders and legs were all covered with light powder.
There is no place on the body, inside or outside, that has not been rubbed.
It's a bit like milk powder... He couldn't have drunk too much yesterday and then poured the milk powder can on his head.
And if you look closely, it’s not milk powder.
Chu Zehuai reached out and scraped off some of the light-colored powder on the side of his cheek, then licked it with the tip of his tongue.
It's sweet with a fresh fragrance, but when you taste it carefully, you can find a subtle astringency.
Is this pollen?
**
Outside the house, Bai Yu was arranging her leaves in front of the mirror.
The leaves with water and white spots swayed in the air. After a while, all the things on them were absorbed, and the leaves returned to their previous clean and tidy appearance.
Bai Yu fell into deep thought.
It turns out that it’s not just Chu Zehuai’s blood that can provide energy.
Judging from what we saw last night, the same milliliters of ** contain very different amounts of energy.
Mouthful of blood, saliva, tears
When he thought about it this way, he realized how much energy he had missed these days!
[System, I feel so satisfied now. ]
Bai Yu spread out her branches comfortably, and the green vines suddenly filled the entire bathroom.
The taste is equally sweet, but not exactly the same sweetness.
Some are like honey, some are a little sweet and sour, and some are as sweet as candy...
It is indeed a top-grade ingredient, and it comes in so many different sweet flavors.
[Have you found a way to solve the restlessness during the flowering period? ]
The system that had been blocked for a whole night was finally released at this moment. Looking at Bai Yu, whose condition was obviously much better, it was puzzled for a moment, but after sensing the obvious human scent that did not belong to plants on the other party, it instantly understood.
[Yes.] Bai Yu nodded and admitted it straightforwardly.
[You pollinated him? But he can't produce seeds for you. ]
The system was surprised that the reproductive isolation between humans and plants was so great.
[I have no obsession with producing seeds, and I can safely get through the flowering period and gain energy, so why not do it? ]
Bai Yu was analyzing with the system, and halfway through the analysis, he suddenly remembered that he had gained energy, but Chu Zehuai was still hungry in the bedroom.
He finished talking with the system, and remembering that there seemed to be a breakfast shop nearby, he quickly went out with the key.
There is still some food left from last night’s dinner, but they are old dishes and not light enough, so I might as well go downstairs and buy some seafood and scallop porridge.
The system looked at the plants running down the stairs quickly, and hesitated to speak.
It would be great if the reason was really the same as Bai Yu just said, it would be a cost-effective plan with great benefits.
But Bai Yu doesn't seem to be doing this purely for profit.
It's just a system, so it's not convenient to say anything to the boss of the botanical garden.
I hope everything will develop in a good direction.
Bai Yu, who didn't know what the system was thinking, quickly went downstairs to buy breakfast. When he came back, he felt three familiar auras near his home.
Lin Mo, Yuan Xue and Yan Ran.
Don’t the three of them have important things to do?
Or is it that he has finished cooking and wants to come and see if there is any leftover delicious food made by Captain Chu so that they can pick up some?
Bai Yu's thoughts went around in a circle in his mind. After making up his mind to take all the delicious food made by Chu Zehuai for himself, he ignored the three people hiding not far away, took the hot breakfast into the house, and pushed open the bedroom door.
"Captain Chu, you consumed a lot last night, would you like to have something to eat—"
Amid the scent of roses, Bai Yu saw the other person, covered in traces of vines, licking the pollen and swallowing it.
The questioning words came to an abrupt end. With a "bang", Bai Yu put down his breakfast and slammed the door.
The pure white flower buds hidden under the leaves began to stir again.
It was really too much for him to watch such an exciting scene so early in the morning.
