Xiu Lin left his body and stayed in the System Space the whole time. It has become a habit of his to stay in the System Space whenever he falls asleep in the material body. During those times, he had asked the system for some food and drink while asking him the most random things he could think of. The system was very responsive most of the time.
As he lay on the white floor, he pondered. '1204, do you have a name?'
[Why is the host suddenly curious?] 1204 asked.
'Then can you have a form?' Xiu Lin continued to ask.
[Yes host, I do have forms.] the system replied a bit reluctant.
'Then why haven't you shown yourself to me until now?'
[Well... I didn't think the host would be interested. And also, if I showed my form, I would have to be visible in human eyes.] the system explained.
'Oh, that's interesting. Do you know how many times I wanted to strangle you?" Xiu Lin felt like all his years of revenge for 1204 had him itching to see this brat's form. 'By tomorrow, you have to appear.' he demanded.
There was silence in the space.
'Anyway, can I see you now? I'll judge if you're really good to take outside or not.'
[That was mean!] 1204 complained.
'No talk, come out, you little bastard.' Xiu Lin motioned his finger in the air calling out to someone.
Slowly light emerged to his right and flickers of pixels began to emit light. From the pixels, a slim yet delicate pale hand slowly emerged followed by an entire body.
Shining neon blue eyes and red hair were hidden under a cartoonish seal bonnet. His lower face from nose to mouth was hidden in a scarf.
Xiu Lin stood up and looked down upon the body's emergence.
He's actually small...
Like a teen out to start his puberty. Big green eyes that looked very sharp yet glows just like they stored a lot of data.
1204 opened his hand to present himself. [Ta-da!]
"What? Can't talk normally?"
"Yes." 1204 replied with his little child voice. [However, it is advisable for the host to only hear me. Because I don't like people hearing my voice.]
'Your baby voice?'
The system did not reply and stared at him with neon blue eyes. Xiu Lin didn't tease the short stuff anymore and pondered for a while.
"This means, you can actually accompany me physically, correct?" He asked.
"Yes." 1204 replied.
Xiu Lin nodded. Smiled and rubbed the redhead. "Good. Good!" He laughed in a scheming way, like a villain with evil plans and he was obviously not stopping anytime soon.
1204 felt that his red flag alarm is going off. This host is obviously going to do something to him and his ominous system self can feel it. After all, he recounted all his misdeeds and knew that the host he was bounded to was a vengeful imp.
It's not that 1204 cannot avoid his host's demands. But Xiu Lin is a special case. This new host he has recently bound himself onto has suicidal tendencies. He literally doesn't care about his life. If 1204 doesn't abide by being with the host physically in his task, this might put him another step closer to the system spatial agency's janitorial works.
When Xiu Lin opened his eyes the next day, the first face he saw was Mo Xunian's. Eyes opened and watched him defenseless in his skin. Seeing this, Xiu Lin was startled and suddenly jumped off. But his lover was quick, pulling him back down and pinning him back to bed. The soft cushion hit his back giving him no pain but more reason to struggle.
"What do you want?" Xiu Lin asked with gritted teeth.
"Good morning." Mo Xunian smiled, leaned down, and dipped his lips against the other.
The kiss was so long and the boy who was in a daze still didn't feel awake yet. His brain was sending signals to him until he realized he was out of breath. The more he felt suffocated, the more he tried to wriggle his way out of the man's grasp.
Noticing the young man already gasping, Mo Xunian finally showed mercy. Although he was reluctant to let go, Xiu Lin needed to breathe. He coughed a few times before breathing as if he ran a marathon. "You..."
"Are you hungry?" Mo Xunian cut his words, smiling like a man in love--which he is.
Good question.
Xiu Lin calmed down after a few seconds, pushing Mo Xunian's chest away, and sat up with a yawn. His messy hair and half-lidded eyes looked adorable. Such a lovely person. The older couldn't help but want to kiss his forehead.
"I'm hungry."
"Then wash up. I'll take you out to eat." Mo Xunian offered.
Xiu Lin selflessly obeyed and went straight to the bathroom without saying more. Pulling the door with no strength left the bathroom door ajar. But it didn't look like Xiu Lin was in the mood and senses to care about it as the water from the shower started like rain, washing away the drowsiness on his face.
Closing his eyes to avoid the flowing water, he made a tired sigh. '1204, materialize later and knock outside the room for me.'
[What's the host planning?]
'Make trouble, of course.'
[...host...] The frustrated system said.
'My back hurts.' Xiu Lin sighs.
[But he hadn't touched you yet.]
'That's not what I'm saying- oh never mind, you tainted system.' Xiu Lin sighed again.
Not long before he could even move a muscle, something warm was suddenly wrapped around his waist. Xiu Lin was startled, instinctively turning his head to look back but his lips were met with another pair that before he could even make a complain, he was already being dominated again.
The hand on his waist tightened and pulled him even closer. His naked body made contact with the other while the shower water rained upon the two of them.
[I guess... bye...] the system quickly made his escape while Xiu Lin was still processing what was going on.
His arms went up and hugged Mo Xunian's neck to deepen the kiss, tip toeing to reach him more. Of course, he couldn't resist as well. This man was his' although they were both on different paths, he still has a place in his heart whether the original owner loved Xunian or not. For Xiu Lin, this man is also Fei Yang.
The ambiguous sound echoed throughout the enclosed bathroom as the two moved. By now, Xiu Lin's jaw already felt sore. He couldn't keep up with Xunian's movements at all after a few minutes and his breathing began to shorten. Unable to do more, he only patted the man's chest until Mo Xunian finally let go and let him gasp in mere seconds and was once again devoured.
"Wait-- umh.." Xiu Lin's words were buried in moans and kisses. His sluggish body was being explored, and before he could even realize it, he was already out of the bathroom being pinned on the bed.
Mo Xunian finally let his lips go, slipping down to the young man's delicate and smooth neck. He kissed it a few times and licked his collarbones, tickling Xiu Lin to no end.
"I'm hungry." Xiu Lin said in a complaining tone. He didn't mind Mo Xunian's attacks, but he minded his hunger very much.
"After we're done, okay?" Xunian coaxed. Xiu Lin was being cooperative today, wouldn't he be wasting a good opportunity if he let him go now?
But the stomach already spoke. Xiu Lin's slightly toned and mostly flat belly began to complain on his behalf making Mo Xunian stop and unable to refute. "I'm hungry." Xiu Lin spoke again.
"Alright." He could only sigh in defeat, enduring the heat that was throbbing down there.
Xiu Lin sat up and reached out to him. Kissed the tip of his red ear and whispered. "Shouldn't there be a preparation? It's my first time, you know." he said, leaving Mo Xunian's stunned appearance in the room.
Xiu Lin ran back to the bathroom and made sure he locked the door before continuing to bathe. Inside the room, Mo Xunian stared at the closed door with a surprised look. Then he laughed fondly shortly before changing his clothes. Xiu Lin also got out of the bathroom, grabbed his clothes, and changed. The two of them got out of the hotel like fresh meats, holding hands.
'1204. Didn't I tell you to appear on the door and knock?'
[Sorry host, I cannot magically appear out of thin air. And I have to materialize in front of you.]
'I see.' Xiu Lin set aside his evil plans for 1204 later.
The two ate breakfast in peace that morning. Facing each other and savoring the good meal they were served. After that Xiu Lin had to go back to 'work', giving his man a parting kiss and a fairly good warning that gave away his love and obsession. "Try cheating on my feelings again, or dare even try to have any other person beside you while I'm not looking, I'm going to lock you up where only I can look at you, and you'll only look at me." he said before turning around.
Mo Xunian didn't stop him this time and watched his back disappear in the crowds. Hearing his threat, he couldn't help but smile. So this means, Xiu Lin isn't planning to run away from him anymore.
