Chen Nian shifted his gaze to Shaflay's face, but the scene had been deeply engraved in his mind and would not go away for a while.
Suddenly I feel that the electric mushroom is not that great...
Shafley has the most prominent status, deep features and a handsome face, a pair of unforgettable violet eyes, a strong but not deliberate excellent body, and a considerable capital in "that aspect".
Chen Nian had to admit that Shafley was simply a perfect Alpha. Even someone as strict as him couldn't find any fault with him.
He calmed himself down. As an Omega who had seen countless Alphas, he should maintain the calmness that he was most proud of.
"I'm going to change my clothes."
Shafley: "The changing room is over there. I asked someone to prepare a swimsuit. Remember to take it before you change."
Chen Nian responded and went to change his clothes. After he turned around, Shafulai finally breathed a sigh of relief and his tense body relaxed.
Of course he noticed Chen Nian's gaze just now. The boy's eyes were like substance, and the exclamation in them stimulated Shafulai, making him almost unable to control himself. An unreasonable heat emerged and flowed to every part of his limbs.
Shafley looked around, then quickly ran to one side and put on a pair of sportswear over his tight swimming trunks to avoid embarrassment, so that the visual effect would not be so obvious.
He wasn't thick-skinned enough to show it off in front of Chen Nian.
Chen Nian came to the locker room and saw the prepared swimming trunks on the rack outside. There were several different sizes.
He chose the one that best fit his waistline and walked into the locker room.
Chen Nian took off all her clothes and suddenly realized that the tattoo on her lower abdomen would be clearly visible.
He subconsciously rubbed it with his fingers. Of course it was impossible to wipe it off. His tattoo was made of a special material. It was usually a light translucent color. As his body temperature rose, the color would become darker and darker, becoming a bright red.
This……
Chen Nian doesn't think having a tattoo is shameful, but his tattoo has a special meaning. Will Shafley be able to see it?
Chen Nian always had a hunch that if the tattoo changed color as the intensity of exercise increased during swimming and was discovered by Shafla, he would not be able to practice peacefully today.
He frowned and thought for a few seconds, then decided to put on the shirt. After all, he was an Omega, and he didn't want to be seen naked by Shaflay, who was an Alpha, so he wore a topless swimsuit. It wouldn't be too strange, right?
Chen Nian put on his clothes again, went outside to get another shirt, and went back to the locker room.
After putting on his swimsuit and swimming trunks, he looked down at himself. As expected, as an Omega, he could not compare with an Alpha.
Chen Nian sighed helplessly.
Chen Nian was about to go out, walking barefoot on the tiles, but when he thought of Shafulai waiting outside, he suddenly became a little hesitant for some reason.
In just a second, his hand grasped the door handle again. It was so funny. Swimming is not running naked, and he covered himself tightly. What was there to be nervous about?
Chen Nian walked out of the locker room with his head held high, and the next second he met Shafulai's gaze.
The boy was wrapped in a tight black swimsuit, revealing his long legs and arms, which made them look even whiter and more tender. The fabric fit the lines of his body, outlining every detail that might normally be overlooked, as well as... the small bulge on his chest.
Just walking towards him was full of silent temptation.
In an instant, Chen Nian saw the unconcealable surprise in Alpha's eyes.
But he clearly did nothing.
Chen Nian walked barefoot on the tiles, step by step to Shafley's side, holding the matching swimming goggles in her fingers.
He found that Shafley was wearing a pair of loose trousers over his swimming trunks to avoid embarrassment. He couldn't help laughing to himself, but also felt a little bit sorry that his "don't look there challenge" had just begun and it was over.
Chen Nian: “Shall we start?”
"Let's get started."
Shafley forced himself to look away from Chen Nian. For a moment, he began to wonder if he had made a mistake in volunteering to teach Chen Nian how to swim.
Can he really hold it together?
"Come on, warm up first, otherwise you'll get cramps if you jump right into the water."
Shafulai had done stretching with Chen Nian. Chen Nian was very flexible, and her posture was extremely graceful when she stretched her body, attracting the attention like a magnet. Alpha was extremely glad that he wore anti-embarrassment pants, otherwise the teaching would have ended before he even got into the water.
Chen Nian once said that he knows a little bit about pole dancing, maybe he had practiced it deliberately before.
After the warm-up, Chen Nian held the ladder and went down to the swimming pool step by step. The constant temperature water submerged his thighs, waist and chest.
When the water reached half his chest, Chen Nian stopped. He stretched out his toes and reached down, but he still couldn't touch the bottom.
"How deep is the swimming pool?" Chen Nian asked Shafley.
"1.5 meters in shallow water."
Chen Nian: “………………”
Chen Nian estimated where in his body the 1.5-meter mark was, took a deep breath, and jumped in. His feet finally touched the bottom of the pool, his entire chest submerged in water, with only a small section of his shoulders and head exposed.
It seems like my height has been exposed...
Shafla saw this and thought it was quite good.
He is thirteen or fourteen centimeters taller than Chen Nian, which is a good height difference, suitable for... kissing.
The height difference between the two characters in Electric Fantasy Kingdom is similar, Mono is more than two meters tall, while he is 1.93 meters tall.
“Is it a little deep?”
Shafley swore that he didn't mean anything by saying this, but it seemed to have touched Chen Nian's sore spot. The boy turned his head to look at him with his eyes wide open, and said in defense: "I'm not even nineteen years old, okay? I'm still growing, maybe I can grow to twenty-two!"
Shafley didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stopped talking and let the matter go.
The water submerged my chest, making breathing extremely difficult, with each breath squeezing my ribs and lungs.
Chen Nian adapted to the unprecedented feeling of pressure. He tried to move with one hand, but the resistance of the water was very obvious.
Shafulai also went into the water again and said, "Let's get used to the environment first. We can start learning when we are no longer nervous."
Even though Chen Nian was stubborn, he was too embarrassed to say that he was not nervous at all. The feeling of suffocation as his breathing was oppressed was really too strange.
Shafley asked him to hold onto the shore with both hands, and slowly squat down so that the water covered his head, so that he could get used to the feeling of being completely immersed in the water.
Chen Nian put on his goggles. As he squatted down, the water surface appeared in front of his eyes as a line, moving rapidly upwards. Soon his vision was completely occupied by the underwater world.
The sounds became muffled.
Chen Nian saw Shaflay's body under the water. His legs in loose swimming trunks were floating in the water, but he could still see something unusual.
Don't look at that challenge failed.
He tried hard to hold his breath until he could no longer hold on, then he stood up again.
After repeating this four or five times, Chen Nian realized that it was not as difficult as he had imagined.
Chen Nian seemed to have an innate affinity for water. After adapting to the water pressure, he no longer felt afraid.
"I'm ready now," he said to Shafla.
Shafley: “Is it really okay?”
"Um."
According to the general plan, beginners should first learn the breaststroke, which is the easiest. However, Chen Nian was swimming to prepare for the test of the Global Ocean Platform, so she could not follow the general teaching plan. If she wanted to save her life at the critical moment, she had to learn how to float in the water first.
It is also safer to learn to tread water before learning swimming skills.
Schafflet explained the essentials of the movements, starting with practicing the split-leg stance while sticking to the edge of the pool. Chen Nian's instability lasted only two minutes before he was able to float independently without Schafflet's help.
Seeing that Chen Nian learned so quickly, Shafley simply taught him the basic swimming style. He held Chen Nian's hand and let the boy swim forward by frog kicking, while practicing breathing up and down. After he got used to the leg posture, he could use his hands to swim on his own.
Chen Nian's water feeling is better than Shafla had imagined.
If I had to use a metaphor to make a comparison, it would be like a newborn baby that can swim, but life on land has made him forget this skill. But now Chen Nian is gradually regaining it, as if he was born for water.
Nineteen years have passed, and the swimming instinct he inherited from his mother's womb is still imprinted in his blood and bones.
After making sure that Chen Nian had mastered the technique, Shafley grabbed his wrist and led him deeper into the pool.
"What are you doing?" Chen Nian nervously grabbed his arm immediately.
"Just change the place." Shafulai brought Chen Nian to the center of the swimming pool. Actually, everything was the same as before, except that Chen Nian could no longer stand on the bottom, let alone hold on to the shore to save himself in an unstable situation.
“Are we moving too fast?”
Chen Nian was somewhat frightened. There was water all around him, and the nearest shore was nearly ten meters away. The only person he could rely on was the Alpha beside him.
"Because you learn faster, believe in yourself. And I'm watching you, so believe in me too."
Shafulai moved in front of Chen Nian: "Come on, try it here."
Shafla slowly loosened his grip on Chen Nian's hand and watched the Omega paddle hard in the water to keep his body floating and balanced. In the first two minutes, everything was normal.
Chen Nian tried hard to keep the rhythm, like a clockwork machine, and he didn't dare to stop, because if he was disturbed a little, he would sink immediately.
But many times, the more stressed people are, the more likely something will go wrong.
Chen Nian didn't know whether the problem was with his feet or his hands. By the time he reacted, his body had already lost its balance.
The fear of not being able to find the bottom came over him, and in a panic his hands and feet inevitably fluttered around, and he fell straight forward.
He bumped into Shaflay's chest.
Chen Nian lost his balance and subconsciously opened his mouth to call for help, but his front teeth bit directly into Shafulai's chest, then his nose, and finally his forehead.
For a moment, Chen Nian felt himself buried in the cushion, which was soft and comfortable.
——It’s really suitable for breastfeeding.
That nonsensical thought suddenly popped up again, even overcoming the blankness in my mind caused by fear.
Shafulai immediately helped him up to prevent Chen Nian from choking on water. Chen Nian held Shafulai's arm tightly with such strength that his knuckles turned white, because it was his only support in the water.
"Gululumu gurulumu..."
Chen Nian subconsciously wanted to apologize for his behavior, but he forgot that his mouth was full of water.
Chen Nian:.
He turned his head and spit out the water, panting with lingering fear, and said to Shaflay: "I'm sorry to bump into you--"
Before he could finish his words, he saw two deep teeth marks on Shafulai's muscular chest muscles.
Chen Nian: ……………………
Shafulai's entire face quickly turned red, and the feeling of being bitten was extremely vivid. It was a little painful, but what was even stranger was when Chen Nian buried his entire face in her.
He really wanted to turn his back so that Chen Nian wouldn't see his current expression, but he had to hold Chen Nian, otherwise he would sink to the bottom. He was Chen Nian's only support now.
The situation remained at a stalemate.
After a long while, Shafley coughed lightly to cover up his cough. He looked at Chen Nian and asked, "Are you tired?"
Chen Nian went downhill: "A little bit."
"Then take a rest and practice again tomorrow. It's almost time to go to bed. I'm afraid you'll be too tired and won't be able to sleep at night."
Chen Nian was led by Shafulai to swim to the shore. He finally dared to let go of Shafulai's hand, only to see several extremely bright scarlet fingerprints on the place where Shafulai's arm was held by him.
Swimming consumes a lot of physical energy. Chen Nian only practiced for more than 40 minutes before his hands and feet were sore.
He climbed ashore, changed his clothes and took a shower. More than ten minutes later, they both came out of the shower room.
It was getting late, so they packed up and went to rest. They agreed on the practice schedule for tomorrow.
Now Chen Nian not only had to attend his usual classes, but also had to practice his mental strength and swimming, and his time suddenly became tight.
Chen Nian stood in the corridor: "Then...good night?"
Shafley nodded. "Good night. Remember to stretch again when you get back to your room, or you'll be in pain when you wake up tomorrow."
Shafley returned to his bedroom, washed up and lay down on the bed, but he could not fall asleep for a long time. Both his mind and body were in an abnormal state of extreme excitement.
He raised his hand and rubbed his chest. The teeth marks left by Chen Nian were long gone.
Shafley simply got up, put on his clothes, sat down at the table, turned on the computer, and completed the last part of the code.
After saving the file for backup, Shafley checked it from beginning to end to make sure it worked properly. Now the only thing missing was the music.
He glanced at the time in the lower right corner. It was one o'clock in the morning.
The eldest prince walked out of the bedroom. Outside the window of the corridor, the stars were shining brightly and the moon was hanging high in the night sky. Chen Nian must have fallen asleep. Chen Ci, who was now exploring the platform at sea, should have rested long ago.
In the quiet night, Shafley came to the piano room. Since Chen Ci left, no one had touched the expensive piano again.
He sat on the piano stool, opened the heavy keyboard cover, and placed the ten fingers that had been typing the codes on the black and white keys.
Shafley had already thought about the style of music he wanted, so after a brief pause, he pressed the first note.
Schafflei's musical talent is not as good as Chen's, but he can compose music to some extent.
A gentle and soothing melody flowed out and echoed in the large piano room. Only the evening breeze, the moonlight, and he himself could hear it.
When Chen Nian woke up, he felt that many muscles in his body were sore, even though he had only swam for less than an hour yesterday.
Maybe it’s because I was too lazy to stretch after coming back?
It seems that his brother, who lives a life of luxury in the White Tower, is in much better physical condition than him.
It seems that I need to exercise more...
Chen Nian attended cultural classes with Chu Xun, and under the guidance of Ji Yifeng, he made specimens of the fungi collected the day before. In the middle of the class, he also took time to go to the hospital to visit Jiang Dai.
Only when night fell did he finally have some free time.
But I also have to practice mental strength and swimming.
Chen Nian sighed, she was so busy and didn't know when she would be able to have some free time again.
However, when he thought that Shafulai was busier than him every day and had to fly around in the sky, Chen Nian felt much more balanced.
He browsed the game forum of Electric Fantasy Kingdom for a while and found that the next main quest had not been triggered yet, so he simply gave up thinking about logging in to watch it.
Chen Nian sat at the table, finished his cultural homework obediently, drew a few sketches, and waited for Shafley to send him a message to practice.
But Chen Nian waited until ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no movement from Alpha.
Are you saying we won’t practice tonight?
Chen Nian hesitated whether to take the initiative to look for Shafla. Now, in addition to their "teacher-student" relationship, they were also pursuer and pursued.
According to Chen Nian's experience, as the one being pursued, he should not take the initiative to look for Shaflay, otherwise it would be easy to break the current situation.
But... Shafulai and those people in the underground city are still different, right?
As Chen Nian was thinking, he heard a knock on the door.
"who?"
"It's His Highness Shafulai." The smart butler replied.
You came just in time, so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Chen Nian said, "Open the door for him."
Shafulai's footsteps moved closer and finally reached the bedroom door. Chen Nian waved his hand and asked the smart housekeeper to shut down.
He looked back and found that Shafla was actually wearing a suit and tie, and Alpha even had his tie tied neatly, the diamonds on his tie clip and cufflinks reflected the light, and his shiny handmade leather shoes stepped on the carpet. Those who knew him could recognize that he was the eldest prince, while those who didn't would think he was an insurance salesman.
Look at Shafley's hand, he is holding a computer.
Chen Nian recognized that this was the computer he used most often in his office.
Dressed so formally in the middle of the night... Chen Nian looked Shafulai up and down and joked, "Are you going to get married?"
"I want to show you something."
Shafley walked over to Chen Nian, put the computer on the table, and opened it in front of Omega.
Shafley kept his computer desktop very tidy, even the screen saver was built-in. He opened a folder and found a file with the suffix "exe".
Shafley double-clicked the file and a pop-up window appeared, which soon expanded to full screen. After a brief black screen, the "Start" option appeared in the middle.
Chen Nian: “What is this?”
Shafley: "I made a game and I want to give it to you."
Shaflay played a game? Chen Nian looked up at him in surprise. Alpha pursed his lips slightly and stopped talking, but from the red tips of his ears, it could be seen that he was shy.
Chen Nian had received flowers, handicrafts, and sets before, but this was the first time she received a game as a gift.
In today's era of neural adapters, games running on computers are no longer popular, and some people even call them "outdated products of the era."
Well, let him see what secrets are hidden in this "old-fashioned" game made by Shafley himself.
Chen Nian grabbed the mouse and clicked start.
A pixelated villa appeared on the screen. A man in a suit was standing at the gate of the yard, having just gotten out of a car.
At first glance, Chen Nian felt that this little man with blond hair, black suit and carrying a suitcase looked very much like Shafla.
This is a pixel-style RPG game, also known as role-playing. Players need to play the controlled characters and explore the plot.
The operation of the game is very simple. Use wasd to control the character's walking, and the Enter key triggers the interaction.
Chen Nian guided the little man in the black suit into the courtyard gate and walked along the straight stone path all the way to the door.
He opened the door and walked in.
The house was tastefully decorated with various pixel furniture, and Chen Nian understood how to play after a brief exploration.
The gameplay is very simple. He needs to control the little man in a suit to continuously trigger the furniture or decorations in the house to enter the memory.
Shafley stood beside Chen Nian and watched him perform the operation.
Chen Nian: "Please find a chair and sit down."
Shafley shook his head: "It's okay, I can just stand."
Shafulai suppressed his uneasiness. He didn't know whether Chen Nian would like this gift, and whether the content and process of the game would be a little boring to him.
Chen Nian walked around the house, constantly triggering memories. Sometimes it was a simple narration of just two sentences, sometimes it was a long stream of consciousness description, and sometimes it was a conversation between two people. The content of all the memories was inseparable from another unknown person.
That is the lover of the little man in the black suit.
The little man in the black suit would repeatedly remind his lover not to take off his clothes and just throw them on the sofa, but every time he came home, he could still see clothes piled in the corner of the sofa.
The contents of the vase change every day. Sometimes it is a blooming flower with dew on it, sometimes it is a few tender green weeds, and sometimes it is even a small ball made of cat hair. What will be replaced in the vase today has become a blind box surprise for the little man in a black suit when he returns home at night.
The tabby kitten stood up from the cat climbing frame and meowed at him with its tail raised. He knew without asking that his busy lover had forgotten to feed it at night.
The clock on the wall stopped, the hands pointed to eleven o'clock. It had stopped working in the morning, but it was not discovered until now. His carefree lover probably didn't even look at the wall.
There was a stain on the carpet, probably because the couple accidentally spilled some red wine. It would have to be sent for cleaning another day.
They may disagree on what style of painting to hang in the living room, or have an excited discussion about choosing a favorite tablecloth.
Seeing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh, it was pure, too pure.
All his emotional experiences have nothing to do with the word "pure". The Alpha and Omega are entangled with desires that cannot be abandoned, and they enjoy the throbbing and excitement brought by physiological instincts.
He had never had such a warm and ordinary love experience.
Chen Nian had never even thought about who he would establish a long-term and stable relationship with one day. He always felt that only by dealing with many Alphas could he show his true charm.
Shafley observed Chen Nian's reaction and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that he was staring at the screen with interest.
For him, writing programs is the easiest task. Most of his time and brain cells are spent on copywriting. As for art, he asked his friends to do it.
Shafla had no previous experience in love, and all the innocent interactions and small details were all made up by his imagination.
Chen Nian explored all the interactive objects on the first floor and went up the stairs to the second floor.
There were also a lot of things on the second floor. He looked at them one by one. They were still very pure love contents. He was even a little bit involved in them.
Finally, the little man in the black suit came to the closed door.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, pushing it open.
This is a small room with a refreshing green overall tone. There is a soft mat next to the door and a corner table against the wall, on which are placed many bottles and jars containing animal and plant specimens.
On the bulletin board hanging on the wall, many papers were fixed with thumbtacks and magnets, including text analysis and natural history portraits.
There is an easel near the window in the room, and a pixelated man with black hair is sitting on a stool, painting with a paintbrush in his hand.
The lover of the man in the black suit is a naturalist and painter.
Hearing someone coming in, the little man put down his paintbrush and turned to look.
At this moment, the BGM finally sounded.
Amid the gentle sound of piano, the little man in a black suit slowly walked up to his lover, lowered his head, and kissed him on the cheek.
"I'm back."
The game ends with this sentence, but the music still sounds, echoing in the quiet bedroom.
This was a piano tune that Chen Nian had never heard before. It was very peaceful and gentle, and reminded him of a courtyard at night, quietly enveloped by moonlight.
Until the music ended, the game returned to the main interface again. There was no thank you list for the producers and no other easter eggs.
But Chen Nian already understood the implicit meaning behind it.
——This is a gift from Shaflay.
Chen Nian paused for a moment before looking up and asking the slightly nervous Alpha beside him, "Did you do all this by yourself?"
“I asked my friends to help me with art.”
"What about music?"
"It's a song I wrote and recorded myself."
Chen Nian was surprised: "How long will it take?"
"About four or five days."
Chen Nian understood. No wonder Shafulai hadn't been online for a while. It turned out that Alpha was busy making games.
It would be a lie to say that I am not moved. Chen Nian is immoral and frivolous, but that doesn’t mean he is a heartless person.
Shafley asked with a strained voice, "Do you like it?"
Chen Nian hummed and said softly, "This is the first time I've received such a gift."
No one spoke for a moment. Shafley's throat moved nervously. The book "The Beast Gentleman" told him that when the situation was ambiguous and deadlocked, doing something was always better than doing nothing.
So he asked in a low voice: "Well...can I ask for a little reward for this gift?"
Reward? A harmless request, and he actually liked the gift.
"Okay." Chen Nian agreed readily, but he didn't know what Shafulai would want.
Shaflay leaned down, his restrained breath hitting the Omega's face, closer, closer -
He placed a gentle kiss on Chen Nian's cheek.
As the game ends, the blond man in a black suit kisses his lover who is sitting in front of the easel.
Suddenly Chen Nian felt as if he had become a part of the game.
This unprecedented pure love completely struck him.
Shaflay just touched her lightly and was about to leave, as if too much touching would be a defilement to Chen Nian. A kiss that was based on love but limited by courtesy was enough for him.
He was about to stand up when a hand suddenly grabbed his tie.
Chen Nian was so strong that he almost pulled Shafulai forward and made him fall. Alpha subconsciously grabbed the edge of the table in a hurry. Before he could ask what was wrong, his lips were sealed by another softness.
Time stopped at this moment.
This is not just a simple touch, but a real kiss.
Chen Nian bit his lips lightly, leaving a faint tooth mark there, and then, the entanglement of lips and teeth.
Heart rate quickens, breathing stops, pupils dilate.
Shafla was so shocked that he crashed on the spot and even forgot to respond or resist. He let Chen Nian stir up trouble and tasted the pheromones belonging to Omega, the sweet scent of tuberose filled his mouth and nose, rushed into his brain, and dominated all his thoughts.
The gentle sound of water came from where their lips and teeth met. He could also hear the boy's slightly disordered breathing. The tips of their noses rubbed against each other, and their breath sprayed on each other's faces, which was warm and itchy.
The Alpha in a suit leaned forward, his tie around his neck, and was firmly held in the hands of the Omega in pajamas. He rested his arms on the edge of the table, trapping the boy between his chest and the back of the chair, but he endured it passively.
Until Chen Nian took the initiative to withdraw, Shafley was still as stiff as a piece of wood. He kept leaning forward with his tie pulled on him, and he did not move even when Chen Nian let go of his hand.
But compared to a dozen seconds ago, Alpha's pale thin lips were bitten red.
Chen Nian licked the corner of his mouth, and the red tip of his tongue seemed to hook away the remaining silver threads. The Omega's face didn't even turn red, but a certain satisfaction was revealed between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He tasted the finest sherry, which had a refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness.
Chen Nian gently pushed Shaflay's chest, allowing the Alpha to move slightly away.
He straightened Shaffley's suit, slowly replacing the tie that had been pulled out, and smoothing out all the tiny wrinkles on the chest and shoulders with his hands.
"I like this gift very much, and I hope you like the reward I give you, but... this does not mean that you have won."
Chen Nian's voice was brisk. He turned back to the computer and the game stayed on the main interface.
"I want to play it again. Are you in a hurry to use the computer tonight?"
