As soon as Shafley saw it, he knew that Chen Nian was exhausted due to overdrawn.

Chen Nian was paralyzed on the bed. His usually lively eyes were now exhausted. His dark hair was scattered, making his bloodless cheeks look almost porcelain white. Even his lips had lost their earlier rosy color.

He sank into the soft bed, like a young vampire who had just awakened from a deep sleep, needing to be nourished by the hottest blood, letting the flowing red moisten and dye his lips red.

There is no trace of the excitement he had in the game just now.

This was Chen Nian’s first time using the neural adapter, and he was not yet able to grasp the extent of the mental consumption.

Shafley had played for too long a few times before and fell into a similar state of fatigue, but Chen Nian had just finished training his mental strength, so his condition must be more serious.

Shafley couldn't help but feel annoyed: Why did he let Chen Nian try the neural adapter when he knew he might not be able to adapt? If it were any other time, he wouldn't have exhausted him to such an extent.

"Are you a little too tired? Go and rest now. I'll take you back to your room." Shafulai said softly.

We definitely can’t let Chen Nian rest here directly. Chen Nian’s bedroom is right next door, and it’s very convenient to send her back, just a minute or two.

Chen Nian is now in a state where he is completely unable to move, and his consciousness can no longer control his body.

Shafley knelt on one knee beside the bed, leaned over and stretched out his arms. He put one hand close to the bed and passed it over Chen Nian's shoulder. With the other hand, he lifted his knee and hugged Chen Nian towards the bed.

This is a somewhat intimate posture, but Chen Nian can't remember how many times he has been hugged like this.

The nights in the black box always seemed long. It was difficult for him to remember the faces of every guest. He snuggled in Alpha's arms while teasing, not minding that the other's hands were not honest and were kneading his body.

Only a month has passed, but now when I think back it seems like a lifetime ago.

Chen Nian was sturdier than he had imagined. His body, which had lost its strength, was limp and weighed heavily on his arm.

Shafley remembered the first time they met. That day in the carriage, he did not realize that the Chen Ci who had been to the bell tower had been replaced by another person. He pushed the door into the lounge and saw Chen Nian kneeling on the ground, looking for something under the sofa with his head tilted.

The fabric of the white pants fits tightly against the boy's body, outlining the voluptuous curves of his hips and legs. He kneels on the carpet with his legs slightly apart, and his whole body lies forward.

Maybe it's because the waist is sunken, which makes the back look more upright.

Schaffray actually saw more that day.

Black worn under white clothes will always show through to some extent, and even if the fabric is thin and close-fitting, the color will still be there.

It was the outline of a lace thong.

Shaflay forced himself to forget what was in his mind, at least not now.

Moving Chen Nian to the bedside, Shafley asked him softly, "Can you get up a little?"

Chen Nian slowed down for a while and accumulated some strength.

With Shafla supporting his back, Chen Nian slowly stood up and sat on the edge of the bed. This simple action alone had already exhausted all the strength he had accumulated with great difficulty.

It seemed like he really played too much. Chen Nian couldn't help but feel annoyed. He knew that training would drain his mental energy, so why did he still play games for so long?

Well, it looked like he had no business complaining about Shafley being a gamer.

Shafulai turned around, squatted in front of Chen Nian with his back to him, and offered his broad and reliable back to the Omega.

"Come."

Chen Nian stretched out his hand, and Shafulai grabbed his wrist with his backhand, put Chen Nian's arm on his shoulder, and then pulled Chen Nian's knees down with both hands and pressed them against his waist.

"Leave."

He greeted and stood up steadily.

Shafla leaned forward slightly, and Chen Nian, who was being dragged, easily fell on his back.

Chen Nian's arms passed around Alpha's neck and fell on his chest. The boy rested his head on Shafley's shoulder, and the air flow from his breath swept across the skin on Alpha's cheeks, causing a slight itching sensation, like the brush of a feather.

Shafulai couldn't help but hold his breath. He was afraid that he would inhale the air full of Omega pheromones exhaled by Chen Nian, and he seemed to be afraid that the accelerated breathing frequency would attract Chen Nian's attention.

Chen Nian has been carried by many people, but the last time she was carried on someone's back was many, many years ago.

He was really tired, he closed his eyes tiredly and completely entrusted himself to this solid and reliable back.

Shafulai carried Chen Nian out of the room and happened to meet a maid passing by.

The maid saw from afar Chen Nian being carried by Shafulai out of the Crown Prince's bedroom, looking very weak. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth in surprise.

What...what is this?!

The princess's face was pale, with her shaggy hair brushing between her brows. She lay quietly on His Highness's back, as if she had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He was only wearing a single piece of clothing, with the buttons of his collar undone, revealing his slender white neck and half of his shoulders. The necklace that he always wore tightly when he went out was missing.

His Royal Highness the First Prince pursed his lips, looking guilty, as if... he was regretting something.

The maid gasped.

Oh my god! What on earth did she see?!?!?!

Shafley turned straight into Chen Nian's room next door and didn't notice that there was someone coming towards him.

Chen Nian was lying on Shafulai's bed with bare feet. Shafulai carried him over, thinking it was only a two-step walk, and did not put shoes on him.

The pair of exposed feet became another kind of ambiguous evidence.

The maid covered her mouth tightly, and her excellent professionalism allowed her to suppress her trembling heart.

She...could she be the first person in the entire palace to know about this?

Shafulai took Chen Nian to the bedroom.

He came to the bed and squatted with his back to the bed so that the boy could sit on the edge smoothly.

Chen Nian released the hands that were around his neck and loosened his legs from Shafulai's waist, no longer holding them.

Returning to his room, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who you are, you will feel more secure in a familiar environment.

"Have a good sleep. Don't worry too much. The symptoms will be almost gone when you wake up tomorrow."

Chen Nian nodded, and Shafulai took care of him and helped him lie down. Of course, he couldn't help Chen Nian take off his clothes. He waited and left later, and the smart butler would take good care of Chen Nian.

"If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to contact me."

Chen Nian nodded again.

It was the first time Shaflay had seen him silent.

Mental exhaustion made Chen Nian retract all his sharp claws and fangs, like a bad-tempered kitten that was finally tired and curled up softly and quietly.

This is not the obedience and weakness that Chen Nian deliberately pretends to show in front of others. No matter how good his acting skills are, he cannot fully perform the true expression he now reveals.

Perhaps it was because he had seen too many fake things that the real thing was more touching. Now, the glass-like fragility between her eyebrows made Shafulai couldn't help but breathe softly, for fear that she would break it by accident.

He forced himself to look away, stood up, poured a cup of warm water and placed it on Chen Nian's bedside.

After making sure that everything was almost arranged, Shafulai said, "Then I'll leave."

Chen Nian watched Shafley disappear out the door, and soon even the sound of his footsteps disappeared.

He closed his eyes and a robotic arm emerged from the wall and took off his clothes.

Today was an exceptionally fulfilling day. In the morning, he went to the botanical garden to visit Ji Yifeng, where he got the opportunity to learn natural history painting and listened to some knowledge about natural history. In the afternoon, he practiced basic skills with Gui Zhiqi. In the evening, he trained his mental strength and came into contact with a metaverse game for the first time.

During many days and nights in the underground city, he would accompany guests to drink in nightclubs until he was dizzy, and then force himself to go home and fall asleep. He would not wake up until noon the next day, then he would tidy up and prepare for a new day of work.

Life is just about working, eating and sleeping.

It turns out that so many things can be done in one day.

Is this the joy of fulfilling yourself?

The smart housekeeper considerately covered him with a quilt, dimmed the lights, and adjusted the window glass to opaque mode. Until Chen Nian woke up the next day, no light would come in to disturb his sleep.

Shafley hurried back to his bedroom, closed the door, leaned against it, and let out a long sigh.

The irregular heartbeat is gradually returning to normal.

He was a little confused about what was wrong with him.

It was getting late and he had important things to deal with tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early.

Shafulai put away the two neural adapters, thinking that he would have to buy the latest model for Chen Nian someday.

Chen Nian is still using the identity of Chen Ci. After the accident that year, Bai Ta issued a ban on Chen Ci's use of the neural adapter in order to protect Chen Ci.

From now on, if Chen Nian wants to play games, it seems that she can only continue to come to his room and ask him to cover for her.

Shafulai took the cup and basin back to their original places, turned on the smart housekeeper, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as the smart butler was turned on, he heard Shafulai taking a shower in the bathroom.

Ever since the princess moved into the palace, His Highness often turns it off when they are alone.

Every time before it shuts down, there is an implicit expectation, hoping to find something different when it is turned on again.

However, I am disappointed every time.

But! But today seems different!

His Highness not only takes a bath in the bathroom, but his entire bedroom, especially the bed, is also filled with strong Omega pheromones!

The sheets were wrinkled, as if they had been rolled over violently.

The CPU of the Smart Manager overheated for a moment.

It was off for more than three hours. What did the two princes do during these three hours? Why did they mess up the bed sheets like this?!

Intelligent Butler: Aa ...

The chip is shaking, the chip is shaking!!!

Shafley came out of the bathroom drying his hair, and without thinking much, he lay down on the bed and planned to rest.

The moment he lay down, he was immediately surrounded by the rich scent of tuberose.

His bed sheets and pillows were all filled with the scent left by Chen Nian.

Shaflay froze and suddenly got up.

The heartbeat that had finally calmed down quickly accelerated again. The Omega's pheromones only took a moment to arouse all the hidden desires in my heart. Every cell in my body was clamoring, clamoring for more.

Shafley had forgotten that Chen Nian was not wearing a necklace in his room just now.

Otherwise, how could such a strong concentration of pheromones be released?

He held his breath, used all his remaining rationality to control his body, and quickly pulled off the entire bed sheet.

Shafla had completely forgotten that he had already restarted the smart butler and only needed to stand far away in the corner and let the robotic arm do the work.

Shable held the bed sheet in his arms, the sweet fragrance of flowers filled his arms, as if he was holding the boy.

Shafla turned stiffly. He needed to throw the sheets into the laundry basket.

However, my consciousness seemed to have been disturbed, the deepest part of my body was burning, the high temperature was wearing away my will, making every movement extremely difficult.

Shafley was so overwhelmed with emotion that he didn't even know what he was doing, so he lowered his head, buried his face in the sheets, and took a deep breath.

The fragrance fills your nose.

The aroma of sherry emanated crazily from the Alpha, echoing the breath of the Omega, merging, merging quickly, merging without distinction between you and me.

At this moment, Shafley's bedroom completely turned into a pheromone prison, calling upon the most primitive instincts and arousing the wild desire deep in his heart.

Cities collapsed, mountains toppled, and everything rumbled down, burying him.

He wants...

No! No way!

Shaflay tried desperately to dig out the remaining sanity from the rubble. He quickly threw the bed sheet into the trash can, slammed the bathroom door shut, strode to the smart control panel, and turned the ventilation to maximum.

But the body has responded honestly.

Shafley was at the most vigorous age. He was usually ascetic and abstinent, and rarely even masturbated.

But precisely because of this, the desire that had been suppressed for years suddenly surfaced, becoming so fierce that it was hard to resist.

Every cell in the body is mobilized.

Shafla knew that he would not be able to endure this time no matter what.

He yanked open the drawer and fished out the bottle of suppressant, nearly crushing the small white plastic bottle.

Of course, two pills of inhibitor would not have any effect in just a few seconds, but Shaflay's penis was already hard enough to hurt.

He paced anxiously for a few times, finally walked into the bathroom and slammed the door.

The smart butler was shocked.

His Highness looked like he was not completely satisfied yet. It had been three full hours! Three full hours! Wasn't it enough?

Is the princess in good health now? Is she not injured? If things continue like this, can we start preparing to welcome the little prince?

The smart butler witnessed the entire process of the relationship between the eldest prince and the princess, from contacting each other via a message in a bottle, to the prince taking the initiative to contact the White Pagoda, to frequently taking time out to go to the White Pagoda, to bringing the princess to the palace, and the two of them being in the same room.

The whole process took just over a month, which was a huge leap forward!

The friendship of more than ten years finally blossomed and bore fruit at this moment, and the smart butler excitedly shed two strings of cyber tears.

It seems that he needs to collect more early education materials, because the little prince will be the first baby he takes care of!

The program of the smart housekeeper ran frantically. The minute hand turned half a circle and jumped over zero at this moment. A new day arrived in the night.

Shafley sat on the toilet, lost in thought.

The bathroom was filled with the rich smell of sherry, and the concentration of pheromones had reached its peak, silently telling of desire and longing.

Shafley didn't want to look at the tissues in the paper basket. He had received the best education since he was a child and knew that it was a normal physiological impulse that everyone has and there was nothing to be ashamed of.

But what really made him feel ashamed were the images and thoughts in his mind.

Shaflay couldn't control his body's reaction, just as he couldn't control himself from thinking about the boy who had just been lying on his bed.

He could solve the problem by imitating anyone, but it definitely couldn't be Chen Nian.

…That was his fiancée’s younger brother.

Shafla buried his face in his hands.

It was hard for him not to think about the implications.

Shaflay is no fool.

He had already foreshadowed it the first time he smelled Chen Nian's pheromones.

He remembered the clear look of Chen Nian leaning over to drink from the fountain water, remembered Chen Nian holding his arm at the banquet and pretending to be coy and gentle, and also remembered the boy's arrogance and aggressiveness when he revealed Chen Nian's identity. The scent of tuberose followed him like a shadow, appearing in every beautiful dream.

He remembers every scene clearly.

Shaflay never realized that just one month would leave him with so many special memories.

They are all about Chen Nian's memories.

He had made the biggest mistake in the past 24 years. An unforgivable mistake.

He...had thoughts about Chen Nian that he shouldn't have.

Shaffley took a deep breath, lowered his head even deeper, and passed his ten fingers through the roots of the platinum-blonde hair. He grabbed it desperately, hoping that the pain would pull his heart, which was heading towards the abyss, back on track.

But how could it be so easy?

Shafley had never realized as clearly as he did today that he was a despicable and hopeless person.

He betrayed Chen Ci.

I'm also sorry to Chen Nian.

He also betrayed the trust his two brothers had placed in him.

——He was moved by the boy who was the least likely to be moved.

The first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone through the gap. Chen Ci frowned, opened his eyes silently, and saw Fu Tianhe's sleeping face close to him.

Chen Ci was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was in Matchstick's camp.

Alpha opened his mouth slightly, sleeping unconsciously like a child. In fact, Chen Ci often felt that Fu Tianhe was just a big kid, even though he was three years older than him.

Even when sleeping, Chen Ci never saw him take off his artificial eye. Logically, the artificial eye needs to be carefully cared for every night to keep it clean and avoid eye inflammation and infection.

Yesterday they rescued everyone in the Lar camp from Mom. It was raining so heavily that they couldn't go back, so Fu Tianhe rode his bike and brought him here to take shelter from the rain temporarily.

After a night, the rain stopped and the sky became clear again.

Chen Ci sat up silently. It was too hard to sleep on the floor with only a quilt. His back hurt a little.

It was still quiet outside. Everyone was tired after a day of work and was hungry and cold. They had finally returned to the camp to rest, so naturally they would not get up so early.

Chen Ci put on his shoes and stood up. He tidied up the bedding on the ground. The fire went out in the middle of the night and their wet clothes had been dried.

Chen Ci put on his coat and felt a little hungry.

He opened the two people's backpacks, took out instant food from them, and cooked breakfast.

The fragrance gradually emerged, Fu Tianhe's nose twitched twice and he woke up.

He turned over and saw Chen Ci sitting cross-legged on the ground, cooking.

"Morning." Alpha's voice was a little hoarse.

Chen Ci: "Morning."

Life where you have food to eat as soon as you close your eyes is so blessed. Fu Tianhe got up, rubbed his eyes and sat opposite Chen Ci.

After breakfast, the two didn't talk much, but they didn't feel awkward at all.

"Let's go." Chen Ci stood up and put the empty lunch box aside.

Fu Tianhe understood what he meant and nodded in response. He also put on his clothes and pushed the door open to go out. As expected, there were not many people outside the camp.

While everyone was resting, Fu Tianhe pushed the motorcycle, took Chen Ci and the mechanical core, and quietly left the Laer camp.

They didn't say goodbye to anyone, including Matchstick, who had talked to Lal yesterday and had assured that the alert camp would not have too much trouble in the future.

This was just a small episode in the travel life. To the Laer Camp, they were benefactors, but also two accidental passers-by.

After a three-hour drive, Fu Tianhe rode a motorcycle and took Chen Ci back to the CPU side room.

They were already one day late than their original travel plan, so they checked out immediately after returning to the hotel, packed up their luggage, and headed to their next destination: the production workshop.

Chen Ci learned from Lal that there was a merchant here who specialized in selling arms to scavengers. He was initially tempted and wanted to buy a few boxes of pistol bullets to keep with him as a backup.

But on second thought, there was no way he could pass the security check inside Cinnabar with a weapon.

Chen Ci simply left the pistol without bullets at the Laer camp.

At noon, the two took the central elevator and arrived at the production workshop on the upper middle floor.

As usual, they first found a suitable hotel. Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe rested for a while in their rooms respectively. Inside Cinnabar, they did not have to worry about the scorching afternoon sun. They set out at 2:30 to explore if there were any interesting places nearby.

Coincidentally, when Chen Ci initially made his travel plans, the second stop he planned was the production workshop. Now that they have obtained more than eighty mechanical cores, they can use them here.

After discussing it, Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci decided to sell seventy of them first and keep the rest to do some research on themselves.

The two spent an afternoon searching the local black market and finally found the entrance in an adult products store.

Seventy mechanical cores are not something you can get easily. When the boss saw them opening the box, his eyes widened.

The boss offered a good price. Of course, after Fu Tianhe's skillful and persistent bargaining, they were able to get more than they expected for this batch of mechanical cores.

The boss was about to transfer the money, and Fu Tianhe originally wanted to let Chen Ci keep it. After all, if it weren't for Jiu Yue, he wouldn't be able to get any extra mechanical cores.

Chen Ci shook his head: "Give it to you, I have no shortage of money."

Under normal circumstances, Fu Tianhe would definitely not believe it. With an Omega in September and someone sick at home, how could they not be short of money?

But in the few days since he came out, the accommodation fees were all paid in September, and the supplies were purchased lavishly, which made Fu Tianhe completely believe Chen's words.

Fu Tianhe scratched his head: "Then I'll take it."

He took the money from his boss, and the balance in his account increased several times, and he suddenly became well-off.

It's good to have money. Fu Tianhe now stands taller, his chest is straighter, and his back is more upright.

He will be responsible for paying for any future purchases, and he won't have to worry about next month's gene corrector.

He waved his hand and said to Chen Ci in a grand manner: "Let's go and spend some money!"
