    Chapter 14: Why are you so good to him?

    Yu An’s eyes were tightly closed.

    His mind was filled with all the little x-novels he had read over the years –

    The male leads in them were so crazy, the little Omegas wouldn’t be let off for half the night.

    …Xie Jinsheng wouldn’t be such a pervert too, would he?

    After all, this man was not only a top-tier Alpha but also a tentacle monster.

    Perhaps, even if he was bitten into a pulp, it wouldn’t be surprising!

    Thinking of this, Yu An trembled even more violently, and as cold sweat broke out, he suddenly felt his collar being tugged.

    The man’s slightly calloused fingertips gently brushed against his fair neck, and Yu An’s skin quivered.

    He thought he would be greeted by a storm-like pain.

    But unexpectedly, it was calm.

    His clothes were pulled up, covering his vulnerability.

    Yu An was dazed for a few seconds, slowly opened his eyes, and met the man’s deep black eyes staring at him:

    “If you’re afraid of me, don’t get close to me.”

    After saying that, the Alpha turned around and was about to leave.

    Yu An’s heart fluttered because of this low, hoarse voice, when he heard System 089 shout: [Host, don’t be dazed, Xie Jinsheng is leaving! We still have a mission.]

    Yu An suddenly came back to his senses.

    Looking at the man’s tall, lonely figure.

    At this moment, he suddenly had a strong premonition that if he didn’t do or say something now, then they would never have a chance in the future.

    Xie Jinsheng was thinking about where to go next.

    But before he could take a few steps, a soft, trembling, reluctant voice came from behind him: “Don’t go.”

    Immediately afterward, a warm, soft mass suddenly pressed against his back.

    Xie Jinsheng froze completely.

    It was the Omega who hugged his strong, lean waist, his cheek pressed against his back, sobbing:

    “Xie Jinsheng, we agreed to go to the base together and be an ordinary couple, you can’t break your promise just because you lost your memory – ”

    “Besides, after coming this far, I no longer dislike you being some kind of tentacle monster. What if something happens to you if you don’t get on the train halfway? In this life… I’m only going to do that kind of thing with you.”

    Xie Jinsheng was stunned when he heard this.

    Shameful lines slipped out, and Yu An’s cheeks also burned.

    But at a crucial moment, he couldn’t reveal anything, so he steeled his heart and tremblingly hooked his slender fingers on the Alpha’s waistband.

    The veins on the man’s neck jumped up instantly, and a few traces of blood also spread on his neck in an instant.

    Yu An didn’t realize it at all, and warmly rubbed his delicate cheek against the man’s firm, broad back, his little face slightly red as he said:

    “Besides, have you forgotten about having two litters of babies? If something happens to you, how am I supposed to get pregnant alone in bed?”

    The boy spoke softly and shyly, his movements inexperienced.

    The man’s waist tensed for a moment.

    When he was on the verge of reaching his limit, Xie Jinsheng grabbed the boy’s groping wrist.

    Desire was heavy in his dark eyes, and Yu An’s legs felt inexplicably weak from being stared at, his mind blank. Feeling something dangerous, he started trembling for some strange reason.

    “Don’t follow me again.”

    The Alpha’s voice was hoarser than ever.

    Then he let go of him.

    Only the faint, clear Alpha scent remained in the air, and Xie Jinsheng had long disappeared.

    Yu An’s mind was filled with that look just now.

    Was it an illusion?

    Xie Jinsheng’s eyes just now were so terrifying, as if he wanted to eat him.

    But he was so thin, and his body didn’t gain weight… tentacle monsters definitely weren’t interested in weak, little boys.

    Yu An dispelled his nervousness, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up again.

    But remembering that he had been left behind by a certain Alpha again, he walked out with a sullen face, wanting to follow, while biting into a compress biscuit to replenish his strength.

    “Leaving me behind again, what a bad Alpha,” Yu An muttered softly in a wronged tone.

    He felt that the system had a hesitant look on its face.

    “What’s wrong, 089? Why do you have that expression?”

    089’s mechanical little round face was completely red, looking like something was inappropriate for a minor system, and asked: [Host, do you really want to get Xie Jinsheng pregnant with… little tentacle monsters?]

    Yu An: “…”

    “089, I was just saying that casually to trick Xie Jinsheng, how could you take it seriously too,” he said, “Although I’m gay, I’m still a boy after all.”

    He didn’t belong to this world, nor was he an Omega.

    What’s more, Xie Jinsheng was a tentacle monster, if he really accidentally had a litter of little babies… how scary.

    No, that’s not right.

    Why was he thinking about these things?

    Yu An quickly dispelled these thoughts and quickly returned to the main topic:

    “089, he went forward, right.”

    He didn’t believe it, he would continue to pester and coax him, and still wouldn’t be able to win over Xie Jinsheng.

    Four hours later.

    [Host…] 089 couldn’t help but say, [Did you come to grind on Xie Jinsheng, or to pick up crystal cores?!]

    In the dusk, the boy was diligently picking up crystal cores in the yellow sand. How long Xie Jinsheng had killed infections in front, he had followed behind to pick them up for how long.

    “Can’t waste them, if I don’t pick them up, it would be a pity if they were swallowed by the yellow sand.”

    While speaking, Yu An picked up two more low-level crystal cores, wiped them clean, and stuffed them into his bulging small satchel, “And these crystal cores weren’t picked up for nothing, I have a use for them.”

    089: ?!!

    Just now on the road, Yu An had already thought it through.

    The reason why the train in the original plot crashed into infections halfway and everyone died was because the detection alarm was broken and no one noticed.

    As long as he wrote a reminder note at that time and put it on the train together with the crystal cores. Even if something unexpected still happened halfway, he believed that the power of this pile of crystal cores could help the train overcome the difficulties.

    [Then host, do you mean you’re not getting on the train?] 089 suddenly grasped the point.

    “Yes,” Yu An said, “Xie Jinsheng is my mission target, if he doesn’t board the train, of course I have to stay. Moreover, I said I loved him so much earlier, but ran away halfway, if he reacts and realizes I was lying, what if he kills me with a knife?”

    He was a pure cannon fodder, where would he have so many lives.

    [But host, Xie Jinsheng almost lost half his life in the Ruined City, wouldn’t you die directly if you stayed!]

    “What, Xie Jinsheng almost lost half his life?”

    Yu An was stunned, and even the crystal core in his hand fell.

    “Isn’t he the villain, how could something happen, and he’s so strong, even if he suffered external injuries he could still…”

    Heal automatically.

    The tentacle monster’s extremely strong ability to repair.

    This was also why Xie Jinsheng was caught and became a test subject.

    In order to study this special ability, the experimenters in the Main City often caught little Omegas and locked them in Xie Jinsheng’s cage when he was young to observe.

    Those Omegas were all meeting a monster for the first time, and almost all of them spoke harshly to Xie Jinsheng, and some even used sticks to hit Xie Jinsheng, who was already dying because of the experimental blood draws.

    As a result, after adulthood, Xie Jinsheng was still extremely uncomfortable with physical contact with Omegas.

    [Because he’s the villain, he’ll have a lot of tragic experiences that will prompt him to turn evil.]

    In the original plot, Xie Jinsheng chose to stay in the Ruined City when the infection tide came in order to recover his memory quickly.

    Originally, as the villain with the highest combat power, dealing with these infections was more than enough, but unfortunately, there was an infection inside that could create illusions.

    Xie Jinsheng didn’t know what illusion he had fallen into, and suddenly froze. The consequence of this freeze was that his throat was pierced on the spot by an arrow, and he became mute.

    [Later, when he recovered his memory, he went crazy when he knew he could no longer make a sound, and began to retaliate against the infections and humans frantically.]

    Yu An shrunk back.

    “He… why did he go crazy?”

    Although Xie Jinsheng didn’t like to talk to people, and it could be seen that he had a sense of paranoia and danger in his bones, he was not someone with big emotional fluctuations.

    What exactly, or who, could make such a big change in a man’s emotions?

    089 agreed: [The data doesn’t say in detail.]

    It seemed that he didn’t have enough information about Xie Jinsheng.

    He would have to explore more next.

    “If that’s the case, and he’s still not getting on the train, then I can’t leave him even more,” Yu An pursed his lips and said, “Let’s try to change this node and make him less crazy.”

    Although Xie Jinsheng didn’t like to talk, his voice was low, deep, and pleasant to hear. When he spoke in people’s ears, it was like grinding on people’s hearts, making people’s scalps tingle.

    It would be a pity if he became mute.

    Perhaps out of sympathy, perhaps out of the unwillingness to see him suffer after these few rescues, in short, there was a moment when he inexplicably didn’t want to see Xie Jinsheng get hurt.

    Stopping his thoughts, Yu An looked up.

    He found that the man he had been following had suddenly disappeared.

    Had he lost him?

    The surrounding sky had gradually darkened, and it was inexplicably a little scary. Yu An was afraid in his heart, trying desperately to find Xie Jinsheng, when he felt something on his back after a few minutes.

    His pupils shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to smash it with his bag.

    Then his slender wrist was grabbed.

    “…Xie Jinsheng?” Yu An turned his head and met the familiar eyes, and suddenly his eyes were a little sour, “You scared me just now.”

    The boy’s voice was a little aggrieved.

    As if he had been bullied by someone.

    As if he wasn’t the one who had been following him suspiciously for several hours, and picked up a pile of crystal cores.

    Yu An’s emotions calmed down for a while, and he saw the man’s gaze fixed on his slightly bulging small satchel.

    “…”

    Suddenly it was awkward.

    “That, do you want to take these back?” Seeing Xie Jinsheng staring at them, Yu An thought that the other party had developed a possessive desire for these crystal cores, and said with a tight heart, “Is it okay to leave me a few?”

    “When I got the ticket today, thanks to someone who helped me out, I still have to return the crystal core to him, I’ve been picking them up for so long, and I’ve been carrying them all the way, if not hard work, then there’s effort.”

    Although these were all killed by Xie Jinsheng.

    But the Alpha didn’t want them, he picked them up one by one, and carried them all the way, and had developed feelings for the crystal cores.

    Yu An spoke with rare boldness.

    Xie Jinsheng glanced at them and saw that the satchel was full of low-level crystal cores, some of which were even just fragments. The boy’s palms were slightly red, obviously worn out by the fragments.

    Was it worth it for the Omega to pick up a few like treasures for a few hours for just a few low-level crystal cores and fragments?

    Seeing that the Alpha didn’t speak, Yu An thought that the other party wanted to take them all back, and quickly protected the satchel in his chest, like protecting his little cubs, his eyes slightly red.

    “You should at least leave me one, if you’re so heartless again, you won’t have a wife in the future…”

    “Hand.” Xie Jinsheng suddenly interrupted him, saying concisely, “Stretch it out.”

    Yu An:?

    He was a little dazed, and stretched out his hand blankly, “What’s wrong.”

    The next second.

    The man’s slightly calloused fingertips gently brushed against his fingertips.

    A crystal core with red mixed with gold quietly lay in his palm.

    Just looking at it made it feel precious.

    “This is…”

    Before Yu An could finish speaking, 089 screamed first: [Damn! Host, what you have in your hand is the legendary top-level crystal core!!]

    It has a magical use at a crucial moment.

    Even killing thousands of high-level infections may not be able to get it.

    It was so precious that even Xie Jinsheng couldn’t bear to crush it.

    But such a priceless treasure in the apocalypse was lying in his palm like this.

    “This, is this for me?”

    Yu An was so frightened that he stammered, and suddenly felt that the thing in his hand was so heavy that he couldn’t breathe, and said flattered: “Are you really not mistaken?”

    How could he suddenly be so good to him?

    Giving him candy for a while, and giving him crystal cores for a while.

    Could it be because the lies he told him worked? QAQ
