Chapter Index
    Yu An froze in place.

    A surge of emotion welled up in his heart, like a warm current sweeping through his limbs, almost making him forget where he was for a moment.

    After a long while, he closed his eyes.

    He rubbed his soft cheek against Xie Jinsheng’s tentacle, expressing friendship and intimacy, and whispered, “Thank you.”

    Everyone has suppressed thoughts in their heart, and he is not used to revealing his inner vulnerability in front of strangers.

    Fortunately, the tentacles are not human.

    They can just accompany him quietly like this.

    When Yu An opened his eyes again, his thoughts had calmed down. He felt the tentacles wrapped around him slowly loosening and retracting.

    However, the smooth, soft flesh would occasionally brush lightly against his skin through the fabric of his clothes, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation.

    Yu An shuddered slightly, realizing the attachment in the tentacles’ movements, as if they were particularly reluctant to let him go.

    It was Xie Jinsheng’s subconscious craving for the warmth of body temperature.

    Unknowingly, Yu An’s gaze gradually fell on the handsome face of the Alpha.

    Speaking of which, it had been many days since they last met.

    He felt that Xie Jinsheng had changed a lot recently.

    He was no longer as closed off as an isolated island like he was in Ruined City, but had more of a human touch about him. Today, when he was among the crowd, it was difficult for Yu An to look away for a moment.

    But it was also good.

    No one can always be an isolated island.

    Yu An was about to withdraw his gaze when, as his eyes paused, he noticed a few snowflakes accidentally caught in Xie Jinsheng’s temples.

    The car had heating, so the snow was half-melted, hanging precariously on the man’s hair.

    It made one feel a bit compulsive.

    Yu An couldn’t help but reach out his hand.

    His soft fingertips accidentally brushed against the man’s smooth jawline. In that instant, the veins on the back of someone’s hand tensed even more noticeably.

    It seemed almost impossible to restrain himself.

    But Yu An was completely unaware.

    He looked at the snow in his palm, originally intending to shake it off, but suddenly his slender and flexible waist was pinched by a well-defined hand with long fingers.

    Yu An was startled.

    After a long while, he lowered his head blankly and saw Xie Jinsheng’s hand, tightly gripping his waist.

    “…”

    The man’s eyes were still tightly closed, but in a certain instant, he saw Xie Jinsheng’s thick eyelashes twitch slightly.

    He was about to wake up!

    Yu An: “…”

    It’s over, it’s over.

    His mind went blank.

    He wanted to climb down quickly, but several tentacles were still Twisthim, preventing him from moving. He wanted to struggle, but he was afraid of waking Xie Jinsheng immediately.

    Forget it, let social awkwardness be social awkwardness.

    He probably wouldn’t recognize him, and would just treat him as a perverted little Alpha…

    Yu An waited for the arrival of social awkwardness, but a full ten seconds passed and there was still no movement.

    He then realized that the Alpha hadn’t woken up at all. The twitch of the eyelashes just now seemed to be an illusion.

    089 had a feeling that something was wrong.

    Wasn’t it enough that he inexplicably couldn’t wake up? He even knew to pinch his wife’s soft waist during Sleep!

    I’m going to see what’s going on in his mind right now.

    089 quickly spent some points to buy a prop to detect changes in emotional value, and took advantage of Yu An’s inattention to aim it at Xie Jinsheng.

    *Beep!*

    —Heartache: 89%, Restraint: 11%

    After a while, the data was quickly refreshed.

    —Missing: 91%, Impulse: 9%

    So this man misses its host so much.

    Before 089 could think for a while, when the third data was refreshed.

    The whole system was stunned, and even suspected that it had seen it wrong for a moment.

    —Restraint: 2%, Sexuality: 98%

    No way.

    He can still think about that kind of thing when he’s in Sleep?

    And the scariest thing is that in a short while, the sexuality value is still increasing crazily, and it’s almost soaring to 99.999%!

    System: ???

    It was so frightened that it quickly looked at the host’s position, the screen was messy for a moment, and the parts were all pink.

    Oh my god, no wonder the emotions of a certain tentacle monster were so wrong.

    Host, do you know where you’re sitting!

    Seeing that Xie Jinsheng didn’t wake up, Yu An breathed a sigh of relief, but somehow he always felt that the Alpha’s breathing seemed to be getting heavier.

    He subconsciously thought it was because the tentacles were too sensitive.

    It wasn’t until the tense thoughts dissipated that Yu An belatedly realized what he was sitting on…

    Strange.

    He always thought he was pressing on the clothes just now, but when he tried to move, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

    The tentacles should be cold…

    Suddenly realizing something, Yu An’s waist instantly stiffened, as if struck by lightning.

    “…089,” his brain fluctuated, “Can you tell me what happened?”

    [Host, are you sure you really want me to say it?] The system said with a red screen: [Cough, host, stay calm, it’s not a big problem, it’s just… Little Xie!]

    Yu An: ??!!

    His whole body trembled. If he hadn’t retained a bit of reason, he would have wanted to jump out of the window and escape this planet!

    Why is social awkwardness always surrounding him?

    Ignoring everything else, he quickly climbed off Xie Jinsheng’s body, curled up in the corner, his ears so red that they seemed to drip blood.

    Fortunately, Xie Jinsheng didn’t wake up.

    Otherwise, he would have been socially awkward on the spot again.

    Actually, he couldn’t be blamed.

    It was the tentacles that Twisthim without explanation, and also pinched his waist and held him in place, not letting him move…

    If Xie Jinsheng hadn’t been in Sleep and unconscious, he would have suspected that the man was doing it on purpose!

    The more Yu An thought about it, the more ashamed he became. His face was like rouge, desperately ignoring the residual warmth at the arc, and the unspeakable something.

    For the rest of the time, he didn’t dare to touch the tentacles. When they arrived at the camp, he slipped out of the car and ran away as fast as he could.

    In the dim car, now only one person remained.

    After a moment, the man slowly opened his eyes.

    There was not a trace of sleepiness in his eyes.

    Probably because he had taken a lot of suppressants, there was no jasmine scent in the air, but there was a faint fragrance.

    Subtle, very seductive.

    It was the unique scent of Yu An.

    Xie Jinsheng rubbed his fingertips, and all the tentacles under his feet that had just touched the young man’s soft body were excited.

    Especially the three that Yu An had stuffed into his clothes.

    After feeling the temperature of the young man’s soft abdomen, the small tentacles couldn’t help but show off, and then felt a cold gaze fall on them.

    It was a trace of jealousy flashing in the master’s eyes.

    It looked like he wanted to cut off those three.

    Three small tentacles: “…”

    Trembling, they quickly shrank back under the master’s feet.

    After a moment, Xie Jinsheng also got out of the car, following the young man’s footprints in the snow, step by step.

    Like a mad dog approaching slowly, vowing not to give up until he catches up with his wife.

    And when 089, who had quietly sneaked back, saw this scene, the CPU couldn’t bear it for a moment, and exploded with a *bang*.

    Yu An was a little confused when he heard the movement while walking: “089, what’s wrong with you?”

    After a while, intermittent electronic sounds came:

    [Under maintenance… Please contact the host later.]

    Yu An was stunned:?

    Why did his system explode again after that incident thirty years ago?
