Xiu Lin felt like a small kitten being part of the litter. Three silver haired alien compressed together warmly lying on a wide sofa bed, hugging one another to feel the comfortable warmth.
After Du Jin tossed Xiu Lin between the sleepy sibling, he was suddenly surrounded by arms and legs that leaned themselves around him.
"Let's sleep. The fight will be finished after three hours." Xiu Zuo told him lazily.
"Okay." Xiu Lin didn't have any other choice but comply for today. The bed was very soft unlike the bed in the room he was locked up in almost as if he was sleeping on a floor carpet. Now after days of enduring that feeling, he's finally able to sleep in a cozy sofa.
So he slept but woke up after a few hours because he needed to think. Du Jin wasn't also in the ship so the disobedient Xiu Lin began walking towards the exit while yawning.
He easily hacked the latch open and got out. When he did, he was able to see that this side has finally quieted. It looked like the fight was over with these soldiers gathered in the area.
The suicidal scientist started aimlessly walking around like a lost little lamb. However, before he could even venture further, his body was once again lifted up, making him subconsciously grab onto the firm neck of the person who carried him.
"Mr. Fei." Xiu Lin acknowledged, only then did he notice the irises on Fei Yang had turned quite dark and gloomy.
"Professor Xiu. Where are you going?"
"I was just thinking." Xiu Lin tamely leaned his head on Fei Yang's hard and cultivated soldier chest. It was really uncomfortable but it was warm and cozy.
Looking at this soft, innocent and delicate creature, it still didn't ease Fei Yang's worry. He was angry, seeing him walking around defenseless like this. He was angry that he was disobedient again. Angry that he was looking for a way to die.
Everytime he thought about a possibility that this boy in his arms will become lifeless, the more he became afraid of the word death in itself.
"Do you really not value your life?" Fei Yang's eyes turned darker and darker.
Xiu Lin hummed sweetly. "It's because I value it that I have calculated the good things my life will offer the world when it's gone."
Fine! I guess he needs to understand how much my life of a loss will be if he dies! Many casualty will suffer!
He quietly walked back to the ship leaving his victorious soldiers to cheer. Inside, he glanced at Du Jin who was back and Xiu siblings were awake. He decided to ignore them and went straight to his quarters with a very dark yet determined expression on his face, leaving the curious eyes of Du Jin who frowned and looked at the older Xius.
"What's that about?"
"Our baby is about to be eaten." Xiu Hao said lazily.
Du Jin, at first, did not understand what that meant. But his slow working brain began to realize what that meant, his eyes widened from shock. "What? Why?!"
"What do you mean 'why'? Isn't boss in love with our baby brother? Baby brother is so cute and irresistible, you know."
"I--that-- that's not the point!" Du Jin almost vomited blood. "You're just gonna send your youngest brother to the boss?"
"Boss will lighten the workload."
"So you sell your baby brother?!"
"Astix don't care who we marry. As long as they can feed us like kings and don't bother us." Xiu Zuo explained.
"Are you even sure the boss won't bother him?! He's a bachelor with too much stamina to spare and stored for twenty seven years!" Du Jin almost cried explaining the idea.
Now that Xiu Zuo thought about it... "Yeah. But Xiu Lin will be the judge of that."
Hao nodded lazily. "If he still has the strength to complain."
.
"Hah--"
Xiu Lin had lost his breath as he was not given enough time to inhale more air before Fei Yang sealed his mouth again with an overpowering kiss.
He tried to punch him in the gut, the shoulder, the chest. He tried to kick him but realized that his legs were forcefully apart by the big body that was there inbetween.
But no matter what this intelligent man do, Fei Yang is the military general and he is the nerd. A big difference in strength.
Fei Yang is metaphorically a steel! His body is rock hard that you can imagine a bullet only getting stuck to the skin instead of piercing through his flesh. That's how great his enviable body is!
Speaking of hard...
Xiu Lin flinched when something hit his butt. That moment made him forget that he was hardly breathing because he literally forgot how to. His brain started functioning faster than the speed of light as the hard junior of the man atop him rubbed ever so slowly.
When Fei Yang separated again, Xiu Lin could finally gasp. Wheezing for air as if he was having asthma, taking every opportunity to inhale before his mouth could be sealed again.
But this time, the general did not attack again. He watched the red faced little Astixian. His red ripened lips parted as he inhaled oxygen. His eyes are moist, sparkling from the light as the side had a bead of tears, ready to fall at any time.
It was a tempting and beautiful sight.
When Xiu Lin got enough oxygen he needed, his brain went back to their usual pace.
"Mr. Fei, do you like me?" He asked.
"That's right Professor Xiu. I love you." The general responded seriously.
"Although that may sound touching. But do you understand that even though I am an alien race, I am still biologically a man?" Xiu Lin said. "Even if you put so much effort to make love with me like this, my gender is not suitable to continue your offspring. Your gene might become extinct." He explained.
[Host, nothing is impossible with love.]
'Shut it you hopeless romantic robot. I'm trying to make sense here.'
[Ouch...] the system said. [Hope his weapon is big enough to make you beg.] The system cursed before logging off.
Straight Xiu Lin: ... huh?
Fei Yan touched the young man's cheek, send a peck on his expressionless appearance going down to kiss his jaw as he spoke. Xiu Lin started feeling ticklish as he tried to move away.
"We can have children with the help of science. Professor Xiu, you should know that there is a lot of method in order for us to have children. To continue our bloodline at the same time." His warm breath brushed through the innocent virgin, making him shiver.
Fei Yang went down to his neck, sucking into the soft pale skin to leave marks of ownership. "What are you saying? What love? That's merely your mind reacting to unwanted chemical reactions. Why would you let it be--hey, will you stop rubbing your large p**is! And stop pinching my nipple!"
Xiu Lin was a bit scared. What is this? What development is this?!
"Professor Xiu, I have never been in such an emotion that can make me so mad that I want to rip these thin clothes apart and watch you suffer underneath me." He said, his hands sliding down towards the soft belly. "I have never felt this 'mind reaction' to anyone else other than you. So whatever it is that makes you think that my love is curable by experiments, please know that it is impossible. If you say such a thing, I'd have no choice but imprint myself into you as much as I could."
Xiu Lin frowned. "You barbarian."
"Please say whatever you wish, professor. As long as I know you will be mine, I don not mind." He smiled then gave a peck on his soft lips again.
"Since when have you liked me? I do not understand. Why do you like me? You know I'm a man and unsuitable to become a romantic partner. I am an astixian, I won't even make an effort." Xiu Lin didn't know which to ask first.
"Professor Xiu, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"That's bullshit. Do not use that reason to me." Xiu Lin lazily responded.
Fei Yang chuckled, burying his head between the young man's fragile shoulder. "I don't know when. But eversince you came, I know that I've always have an indescribable sense of instinct that wish to hold and protect you. I couldn't bear to see you hurt. I couldn't bear to share you with others to see. I couldn't help but get mad to those who wish you ill. I couldn't bear the thought that Astixians has tendency to end their lives and you being one hurts me more than I could ever imagine." Then he continued. "Also, it's better for professor to be lazy. In that way, you won't have an effort to be attracted to anyone else."
"Mr. Fei, you..." Xiu Lin looked up the ceiling. "I think you see me as a son..." he commented.
Fei Yang got mad again. "Would a father even think of kissing a son like this?!" He asked, ripping off Xiu Lin's clothes. "Or does parental love leads you to a point where you want to covet this body? Professor Xiu, I think you should study love a bit more." He said madly.
"Then step aside!" Xiu Lin shouted.
"What?"
"I will study love! Get off!"
"Oh, I'll teach it to you, professor. In field activity is more efficient than books!"
Fei Yang was genuinely angry. At first, he wanted to calmly confess, to a romantic place in the right time. But this person... not only did he run away several times, he also nearly died. Xiu Lin, this little professor of science is very provocative, he couldn't even find his own reason. He's going insane just thinking about this person finding an excuse to everything.
"Professor, just accept the fact that you turned me this way." Fei Yang's voice became gentle.
"Alright. I'll accept that fact." Xiu Lin was scared to decline.
Although he didn't mind having a male lover, it didn't came to mind that eventually, men will become his option. He was straight after all, so it really did not cross his mind and chased after girls instead.
Now that he though about it... Lu Jian's care to him back then and the care the other male leads in the past worlds he's been in had been different yet similar.
Is it possible that... they fell in love with him as well?
Curse this beautiful face!
Curse your golden finger!
Curse you system!
You're a scam! A scam!
Love life? Love life your foot!
"However, mr. Fei... I don't think forcing me is the right answer." Xiu Lin added after contemplating.
"I'm sorry, I only wanted to confess. But you keep slipping away and I've become impatient."
Xiu Lin blinked twice. "Then... could you, like... get off?" He asked. How many bones has he broke from me?
Fei Yang obediently got off and Xiu Lin felt like a heavy weight was gone off his body after the big man left him. He sighed in relief nearly on the verge of tears.
Xiu Lin sat up and hugged his knees, his toes fiddling together as he looked at Fei Yang sitting on the side of the bed.
"So... you really like me?" The young man placed his cheek in on of his knee as he peeked through Fei Yang.
"Yes."
"What did you like about me?"
"Do you need a reason to love someone, professor Xiu?" He asked, he turned his head to the cute little scientist and couldn't help but let out a very fond smile.
Xiu Lin blinked twice. Then he frowned. Why did he just imagined Lu Jian, when that guy smiled just now? His heart felt a bit itchy as he stared at the male protagonist. The young man frowned. "Theoretically? What if I actually liked someone else?" he asked.
Fei Yang looked at him dangerously. He leaned closer to Xiu Lin almost as close to kiss the young man. "Tell me professor Xiu, what do you think shall I do if you liked someone else?" he asked back.
"You emotional creatures are so complicated." Xiu Lin replied. "Why don't you just sleep it off. I'm sure you'll come to regret this tomorrow."
"Why would you think I'll regret it tomorrow?"
"Your p**is is still standing." Xiu Lin pointed.
"Could you not use that word, professor?" Fei Yang couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he looked at the budge on his pants.
Xiu Lin pouted unhappily. "Why can I not use it? We both have it? Is it taboo?"
The general wanted to pinch the young man's soft cheeks. But stopped himself. Now is not the time and his junior needs to calm down. The general stood up and excused himself, making a quick retreat to the bathroom.
Xiu Lin could only watch the closed bathroom door and chuckled amused. 'Hey, 1204."
[Yes host?]
'When you advised me to broaden my horizon and welcome the brand new world, were you referring to the idea that I should bend?'
'Yes host. I'm so happy you're smart! I don't have to explain this matter!' The system cried happily.
Xiu Lin wanted to save some energy and strangle the bastard system once he has the chance. Now it scared him that all male protagonists will be the same in the future.
