The hot ginger soup was quickly served, and after Chen Ci drank it, he felt warm from the inside out.

Swimming is extremely physically demanding. Chen Ci blew his hair dry and lay on the bed, not wanting to move anymore. He picked up two books, flipped through them for a while, and went to bed when he felt sleepy.

Chen Ci lay on his side, his body slightly curled up, half of his face sunk into the soft pillow, his eyelashes long and his face calm.

This is the Sleeping Beauty who did something out of character more than an hour ago.

Unlike Chen Ci's room where the lights were turned off, the lights in Shafley's bedroom were still on. Alpha was leaning against the head of the bed, holding the terminal and chatting with Chen Nian.

Shafley: [I just went swimming with Chen Ci, and he ran straight into the lake. I almost got scared to death.]

Chen Nian: [Why do you want to swim in the lake? Doesn’t the palace have a big swimming pool?]

[He said the swimming pool environment was too comfortable and could not simulate the scene in the sea.]

[In the sea?]

【Well, Chen Ci said that next, he wanted to take a boat to Sanshui. 】

After much thought, Shafle decided to tell Chen Nian about Chen Ci's decision. He thought that as his younger brother, Chen Nian could persuade Chen Ci.

Chen Nian: [Take a boat to Sanshui? Doesn’t that mean we have to cross an entire ocean? So cool! Can I go with him?]

Shafley: ………………

He forgot that these two brothers are essentially of the same character.

Shafulai looked at Chen Nian's last sentence with a helpless smile, feeling like he was shooting himself in the foot.

Shaflay: [It's very dangerous. If you encounter a primitive creature, you might even lose your life.]

Chen Nian: [That’s right… Especially since we two seem to have the physique to attract primitive creatures. But since Chen Ci wants to go, he must be sure, or he has some reason to go that makes it worth his while to take the risk.]

What Chen Nian said made sense. Shafley was only concerned with stopping Chen from making his remarks, and did not ask him why he was willing to take such a huge risk to go to Sanshui.

Shafley suddenly realized that although he had known Chen Ci for more than ten years, he knew less about Chen Ci than Chen Nian, whom he had only met three times.

【I will ask Chen Ci again when the time is right.】

Shafla hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say anything to ask Chen Nian to persuade Chen Ci. He decided not to destroy the relationship between the two brothers.

Chen Nian: [I'm going to sleep now. I've been painting all day and my hands are a little sore. I also practiced my mental strength by myself at night. I'm a little tired. You should go to bed early too.]

This sentence was followed by a very cute emoticon package, and Shafley couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll give you a test when I get back to see how the results of these few days of practice are. 】

[I know, teacher. I will be aware of it. Good night.]

Shafulai took a deep breath, and his heart began to surge again.

It was the first time for him to have such a relaxed and pleasant chat with someone. On weekdays, when handling official business, all parties spoke in a very official manner. Most of his friends of the same age were also relatively stable and mature, and of course they would not act cute in front of him, an Alpha.

Not to mention the clichés. When you talk to him about something and send a long paragraph, you often only get a "hmm" as a reply.

Chen Nian's online chatting style is even more cheerful and cute than his real life. Just by looking at those static texts, one can imagine the boy with a smile on his face, which makes people feel better.

It's just that Shaffley needs to try his best to hide himself and not let his dirty thoughts show up between the lines.

Shafley opened the gallery and found the hidden album at the bottom.

He entered the dynamic key and unlocked the most recently saved photo. The light was dim, with only a desk lamp and a virtual screen on.

After a whole day of calming down, Shafle was finally able to calm down and see clearly what Chen Nian had painted on the canvas.

But his eyes still uncontrollably glanced towards the edge of the table.

The concentration of Alpha pheromones was increasing, and the sweet smell of sherry was spreading to every corner of the room. Shafle went to mix himself a cocktail. He knew that Chen Nian liked to drink alcohol and would have a drink whenever he had nothing to do. This habit also affected him.

Or, it could be said that he was unconsciously getting closer to Chen Nian.

After a glass of wine, the alcohol begins to have a calming effect, rationality gradually retreats, and desire crawls out from the abyss with bared fangs and claws, devouring and occupying thoughts.

Shafulai thought of the many times when Chen Nian sat on the floor in his bedroom. The temperature in the palace was just right, and there were soft and expensive carpets everywhere. The boy liked to go barefoot, with soft hair sticking out from between his fingertips.

Or maybe it's because her sitting posture pulls her trouser legs up, revealing her smooth calves and slender ankles, which makes you want to grab them and see if you can hold them with one hand.

There was also the secret pattern on his lower abdomen that Chen Nian accidentally caught a glimpse of when he rolled over on his bed through the hem of his shirt.

Shafley wasn't sure if he was seeing things, but he must have. Why did Chen Nian have patterns on her body? And on her private part, her belly?

He let out a long breath. The alcohol not only numbed his mind, but also constantly weakened his inner defenses and morals. More sinful thoughts popped up one after another.

Strangely enough, he had just received Chen Ci's return from swimming, but he had no thoughts at all about the soaking wet, weak but charming Omega. He just wanted Chen Ci to go back and rest as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold.

On the contrary, even if Chen Nian covered it tightly, it could always inexplicably arouse his unspeakable desire, not only the surging in his heart, but also the uncontrollable reaction of his body.

The two brothers were clearly cut from the same mold.

Thoughts seem to float in space, spreading endlessly.

Years of abstinence have made everything inevitably unfamiliar, even a little rough, but they still climb to the top layer by layer, but after a brief blank, they quickly fall into a deeper emptiness.

The taste of sherry is so strong that it is intoxicating, and the concentration of Alpha pheromones is enough to easily make Omega blush and his heart beat faster, and even induce him into passion.

Shaflay took a deep breath and raised his arms to shield his eyes.

At 11:30 in the evening, when the smart butler was turned on, it was almost shut down by the pheromone concentration that was about to exceed the limit.

It quickly regulates the CPU temperature and cannot burn the motherboard like before, otherwise it will have to be replaced!

——Your Highness, what’s wrong? Are you going to be susceptible to the disease?

Although the princess had been in the room since 8 o'clock, the time when he temporarily shut down the system did not match that of His Highness Shafley. In other words, does the poor prince have to spend this special period alone? !

His Highness probably saw that the princess was not feeling well, so he did not stay with her. The smart butler was worried: "Won't your Highness feel suffocated by doing this?"

It was late at night and both princes had fallen asleep.

The smart housekeeper quietly changes the ventilation system to allow air exchange between two adjacent rooms.

Chen Ci would take off her necklace when she was alone in her room. The subtle fragrance of tuberose was faint but very attractive.

The pheromones of Omega and Alpha merge, they enter each other's room, surround each other, and smell the scent around their noses, and perhaps they are about to fall into a beautiful dream.

This is not the first time that the smart butler has done this.

But unfortunately, it failed to achieve the desired effect today.

Chen Ci and Shafley were like two patients with severe rhinitis. They lay in their respective beds and spent the long night without any reaction. Even their sleep cycles went smoothly without any impact and they slept until dawn.

Pheromone insensitivity still exists. Chen Ci woke up early in the morning and just sneezed in the strong Alpha pheromone. He rubbed his nose and didn't take it seriously.

Shaflay got up early and went to work decisively.

The smart butler fainted.

What was going on? The two princes had no reaction at all. Could it be...did they have a quarrel without it knowing?

No, it will have to try again tonight!

Underground city, information processing area No. 13.

Fu Tianhe raised his head and moved his sore neck.

He made a simple table out of wooden boards and placed it in the living room. The door had also been repaired. Although many important pieces of furniture were still missing, it at least did not affect his daily activities for the time being.

A light bulb hung from a wire above served as a desk lamp, illuminating every detail of the chimera on the table.

Fu Tianhe has been studying carefully for a whole day.

The internal structure of this thing is very different from the mechanical core. It is so sophisticated that one can't help but sigh in admiration just by looking at it. With Fu Tianhe's level, it will not be possible to figure out the principles behind it in a short time.

After all, he is self-taught, and many confidential high-end technologies are unfamiliar to Fu Tianhe. He can only try to understand some of them, such as the correct way to use them.

It's true that he really wanted the chimera. As a half-baked engineer, his interest in precision parts had become an instinct. But of course he didn't have to get it. Fu Tianhe knew that the existence of this thing itself was a secret, and he couldn't get it easily. Moreover, he might even go to jail for it.

But September got it for him, just because he mentioned it?

At first Fu Tianhe thought so, but since they separated, he carefully reviewed their journey and suddenly realized that the chimera was also needed by Jiu Yue, and even said that he wanted it more than himself.

The two of them couldn't get a flying vehicle, so if they wanted to go to Moonlight, they could only take a boat and take a more than ten-day sea journey. It was extremely dangerous and they could be attacked by the original creatures at any time. If they had a chimera in their hands, the risk could be greatly reduced.

That's why September decided to rob Donald when the fraud might fail.

From beginning to end, the boy never gave up his desire for moonlight.

Jiuyue is really a very determined person...

In this case, Fu Tianhe also has to work hard. They now have eight chimeras on hand, which may seem like a lot, but they cannot afford to waste them. They must determine how to use them and achieve the maximum benefit to make the most of the energy they have spent.

The day Fu Tianhe came back, he cleaned the house and gave Da Congming a bath. After that, he stayed in the short hut and devoted himself to studying chimeras.

Ai Peng had just been robbed, and he had extremely valuable things on hand, so Fu Tianhe didn't dare to leave home for too long. He only went out twice a day to walk the dog.

Fu Tianhe stood up and stretched his waist vigorously. He put the chimera away and simply kept it on his body. He clapped his hands and said, "Come here, wise man."

Da Congming, who was resting in the corner, immediately raised his head and walked towards him.

Fu Tianhe put a leash on it and planned to take the dog for a walk and have dinner outside.

The man and the dog walked out of the shed, and Fu Tianhe went to a nearby snack street and ordered a large bowl of noodles with some salted vegetables. Dinner was solved.

Ten minutes later he came out of the small shop, holding Dacongming's hand, and walked along the street.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the neighborhood where Chen Nian lived.

Fu Tianhe stopped at the entrance of the community, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in.

He saw the water on the road and couldn't help but sigh. It had only been a short time, how come there was water leaking again?

It's hard to say whether it was intentional or not, but by the time Fu Tianhe reacted, he had already reached a building.

Before this, he helped Jiuyue carry an overly heavy backpack and finally came here, which was the closest place to Jiuyue's home.

...It was Da Congming who walked here, and he just followed Da Congming's steps!

Fu Tianhe didn't know Omega's exact address, but what would he do if he knew? Since Jiuyue said he would be away for a week and even gave Da Congming to him to take care of, he must not be at home.

Fu Tianhe squatted down, rubbed Dacongming's head, and joked, "Did you bring me here because you smelled the scent of another master?"

Dacongming growled twice in his throat. He seldom barked like other dogs.

Fu Tianhe felt relieved, thinking that Jiuyue would definitely not be at home anyway, so he simply took Da Congming for a stroll nearby.

By the way, Jiuyue has a father who is not in good health at home. Will he meet the other party by chance?

Fu Tianhe thought about it and raised his head. Lights were shining through the windows. Almost every house where people lived was lit. It was difficult to guess which one was September's home.

He scanned the area and by chance caught a glimpse of a figure passing by the window.

Fu Tianhe was attracted by the moving figure. He turned back to look and found that the curtain of the window had been quickly drawn.

Chen Nian squatted under the window, holding the curtain swing tightly with both hands, and was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Chen Nian was tired of painting, so she stood by the window, intending to look into the distance to relax, when she saw Alpha downstairs.

At first Chen Nian didn't recognize who he was, but the dog that man was holding looked so familiar. Wasn't it Da Congming, the dog that Chen Ci had adopted and asked Chen Ci to name?

Why did Fu Tianhe come here with the dog?

Before Chen Nian could think clearly, he saw Fu Tianhe raised his head. He quickly squatted down and pulled the curtains, not knowing whether he was seen by the other party.

I hope not.

Chen Nian doesn't want to meet Fu Tianhe again.

He still couldn't figure out the extent of the relationship between Chen Ci and Fu Tianhe. They were definitely not just ordinary friends. Perhaps there were some small budding feelings between them that even neither of them was aware of.

If he suddenly appeared in front of Fu Tianhe, it would probably have a bad impact.

Especially since Chen Ci told Fu Tianhe before he left that he would be away for a whole week.

Chen Nian was squatting there trembling with fear when he suddenly received a message.

Fu Tianhe: [Picture]

The photo shows a hand holding a rope and Dacongming wagging his tail.

[I happened to walk my dog ​​into your neighborhood while walking. Could it be that Dacongming smelled your scent? 】

Chen Nian: ………………

Brother, don't blame everything on the dog. You were the one who came here just by smelling the smell!

Chen Nian forwarded the message to Chen Ci exactly as it was.

He moved away from the window, making sure that he was at a distance where his shadow could not be seen from outside, and then he stood up again.

Speaking of which, this Fu Tianhe seems to be quite good.

With Chen Nian's experience, he could understand this behavior as lovesickness. Fu Tianhe had not sent many messages in the past few days, and there was no sign of him being persistent at all. He did not get angry even when he replied briefly.

Chen Nian waited for a while and suddenly received a call.

The courier told him that a package had arrived and asked if he could go downstairs to pick it up.

"Now?" Chen Nian came back to the window, leaned to one side, opened the curtain a little, and looked out secretly.

Alpha and the dog have disappeared. They must have slipped away to somewhere else.

"Okay, I'll go get it right away."

Chen Nian hung up the phone, put on a mask and a hat, thought for a moment, took off the hat, took out a scarf from the closet and wrapped it around his head.

Now the entire head and face are covered tightly, but if it is a familiar person, it may still be recognized by the body shape.

He simply stuffed the ball he used for fitness into his pajamas and put on a loose windbreaker on the outside, which made him look like a pregnant woman who was about to give birth.

Chen Nian went downstairs in a look that even Jiang Dai couldn't immediately recognize.

He came to the courier car and claimed his own package.

Chen Nian had just finished signing when he looked up and saw a figure walking his dog coming from the other end of the road.

Instant cardiopulmonary arrest.

He quickly lowered his head, pretending to look at the express delivery list, and then picked up the not-small box.

Chen Nian taped the ball to her waist, but it wasn't very stable. Now she was holding a box in her arms, and she felt that the "baby" in her belly might fall out at any time.

His movements were inevitably clumsy and unfamiliar. Looking at the tightly wrapped "pregnant woman" on the express cart, Fu Tianhe couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy to be pregnant and she had to go downstairs to pick up the express by herself.

Chen Nian turned his back to Fu Tianhe, holding the box in a rather awkward position, and hurried back upstairs.

——Fortunately, fortunately, Fu Tianhe didn’t find out.

He breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as he entered the house, he was bumped into by Jiang Dai who came out of the bathroom.

Jiang Dai:?

Chen Nian: …………

Jiang Dai was stunned when he saw Chen Nian dressed like this.

Chen Nian quickly took off his headscarf and took two breaths. He lifted the hem of his loose pajamas and patted the ball taped to his belly. He said calmly, "I was just joking with my friends."

Jiang Dai said "oh" but didn't take it to heart. He was already used to Chen Nian's jumping around.

"What did you buy?"

"clothing."

Jiang Dai nodded without any suspicion.

Chen Nian carried the express box back to the bedroom, closed the door, and locked it.

He heaved a sigh of relief and removed all his equipment, though it was a little painful when he tore the tape off his waist.

Chen Nian couldn't wait to open the express box and took out a brand new neural adapter from it.

It is not suitable for him to go out now. He just practices painting and exercises his mental strength every day, which is a bit boring.

Not to mention that after a few days of Shaflay's guidance, Chen Nian could no longer forget the Electric Fantasy Kingdom. A new version was just updated at ten o'clock this morning, and he had to go up and see what it looked like.

Jiang Dai didn't allow Chen Nian to come into contact with the neural adapter, probably because he was afraid that something unexpected might happen, but it was obvious that he didn't have a situation similar to what Chen Ci did when he was a child, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Chen Nian sat on the bed and adjusted the neural adapter step by step according to the instructions.

He poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside, set the safe ejection time, and then lay down impatiently and put the adapter on his head.

The small house with a red roof and white walls on the green field gradually became clearer in front of my eyes.

The next second after the neural connection was completed, Chen Nian heard a familiar female voice: "Welcome to the electric fantasy kingdom. Your account has been detected, Mono."

When Chen Nian passed the news about Fu Tianhe to Chen Ci, Chen Ci was swimming in the artificial lake.

His terminal was taken off and kept by Shafuli. This time, Chen Ci did not ignore Shafuli's words and informed Shafuli before going to the artificial lake to practice swimming.

Shafley quickly put down all the work at hand and accompanied him. Shafley had made a series of preparations for this purpose this morning.

A brand new motorboat was placed at the lakeside, equipped with a complete shower room and changing room. After Chen Ci came out of the lake, he could immediately take a hot shower and change into clean clothes.

There is also a series of life-saving equipment on the motorboat, so that rescue can be carried out immediately in case of any accident.

Amid the splashing sounds of swimming, Shaflay sat at the bow of the motorboat, handling official business.

He had a lot of things to do, and the time for speech practice was quite long, so Shafley simply busy himself with his own work, replying to emails or writing programs.

Chen Ci went on board to rest for twenty minutes. He drank some nutrient solution to replenish his energy, and then went into the water to swim.

Shafley discovered that Chen Ci was still practicing diving. Before this, he had never realized that Chen Ci's physical fitness was so good. Not only could he swim continuously for more than an hour, but he could even hold his breath for four minutes and keep swimming underwater for two minutes.

This is not a level that most people can achieve, and in everyone's eyes, Chen Ci is just a weak Omega.

Even Shafla, who has known Chen Ci for more than ten years, only discovered today how strong he is.

Chen Ci wore a shirt and trousers, with a bag on his shoulder, and tried his best to simulate the situation that might occur in the sea.

Even though he was carrying a heavy load, he was still as nimble as a fish, as if he was born to swim in the water, which made Shaffley want to jump in and swim for a while.

Shafley lowered his head and continued to concentrate on writing the program.

The speech finally ended at 9:30 in the evening.

He climbed up panting, his arms were so sore that he couldn't use any strength, but he still refused Shaflai's help and walked towards the small shower room, soaking wet.

Chen Ci closed the door, took off his clothes and started taking a shower.

The sound of water was rustling. Alpha and Omega were on a small boat in the middle of the lake, blocking out all interference from the outside world. It should have been ambiguous, but both of them were very frank.

After Chen Ci finished his shower, he changed into dry clothes, came out of the locker room, wiped his wet hair, and said to Shafley, "Go back."

Shafley started the motorboat, and Chen Ci sat next to him, with a safe distance of 20 centimeters between them. Alpha handed the new terminal to Chen Ci and said, "Chen Nian just sent you a message."

Chen Ci opened it and stared at the photo of Fu Tianhe for a few seconds.
