Chapter Index

    The young man lay in the medical pod, his complexion gradually improving.

    The wound on his slender, pale ankle had also been treated with medicine.

    Xie Jinsheng carefully bandaged it, afraid of hurting him.

    After doing all this, he tucked the comforter around the unconscious little Omega, staring at the young man for a long, long time.

    As if he wanted to engrave those beautiful, well-behaved features into his mind forever, remembering them deeply.

    After a moment, he suddenly turned around, as if to leave.

    “Aren’t you going to wait for him to wake up?” Jing Zhixun asked.

    Since arriving at this medical facility, Xie Jinsheng had been highly vigilant, afraid that he would harm Yu An.

    It wasn’t until he saw that Yu An was doing much better after receiving an IV drip that he was relieved.

    Clearly, on the way here, he was covered in snow in order to protect the Omega in his arms.

    But the man’s first reaction was to gently brush away the thin layer of snow on the young man’s hair, afraid that the cold would worsen Yu An’s already delicate body.

    It was clear how much he treasured this well-behaved little Omega.

    As expected of… A001, who could coldly watch the world be destroyed hundreds of times for his wife!

    However, Jing Zhixun clearly felt that this Xie Jinsheng was more humane than the ones his superior had mentioned in the past.

    Almost indistinguishable from a real human.

    Even more sincere in his emotions than humans.

    Xie Jinsheng paused at the words, a hint of suppressed emotion flashing in his dark eyes, and said, “He probably doesn’t want to see me right now.”

    Knowing that he had been imprisoned as a child and was so afraid of the dark, he still deliberately locked him in the nest.

    Causing his ankle to be injured and bleeding, forcing him to huddle on the cold ground.

    Such a bright young man could never be locked up, and would never stay in a dark, unseen corner like him.

    Xie Jinsheng’s dark eyes slid towards the corner of his eyes, even his peripheral vision couldn’t help but linger in the direction where Yu An was.

    But he always felt that there was a great distance between them, as far as the Milky Way.

    Yu An had never belonged to him for even a moment.

    Yet he stubbornly fantasized about forever.

    It was just wishful thinking.

    After a long while, Xie Jinsheng completely withdrew his gaze, feeling the dense emotions surging in his heart, and said:

    “Don’t tell him I was here.”

    After saying that, the monster Alpha turned and left, leaving behind only a gust of cool wind.

    Jing Zhixun: “…”

    I really hate men like you who do good deeds but don’t speak up.

    When Yu An wakes up later, the first thing he’ll do is bring this up.

    However, before that.

    Contacting his superior is the most important thing.

    He not only found A001, but also found A001’s long-lost wife, according to his superior.

    In a daze, Yu An felt like he had slept for a long time. The scent of sandalwood lingered in his ears, as if Xie Jinsheng was brushing away the thin snow from his hair.

    Countless times, he wanted to call out to him.

    But he was too exhausted.

    And, for some reason, that sandalwood scent suddenly began to disappear for a moment. At that moment, he was slightly stunned, subconsciously wanting to grab him… but his consciousness fell asleep again.

    He didn’t know how long it had been.

    Yu An finally woke up slowly.

    He found that this was not the nest, but a strange place, surrounded by medical equipment.

    Beside him was a familiar Omega.

    It was the grape-flavored O from Border Cold Town who infiltrated Utopia to assassinate the wanted personnel in the laboratory.

    If he remembered correctly, this person was called Jing Zhixun.

    “You’re awake?” Jing Zhixun said gently.

    Back then, he had helped him in the alley, so the person in front of him wouldn’t be ungrateful.

    But Yu An still said to System 089: “089, check what’s going on here.”

    [Leave it to me.]

    Yu An’s head was still a little sore. He scanned the surroundings a few times and asked, “…Where is he?”

    This sentence was naturally referring to a certain tentacled monster.

    “Oh, him? He ran away after dropping you off, and even told me not to mention him.” After a pause, Jing Zhixun couldn’t help but comment, “But, do you know that your man doesn’t speak his mind?”

    Yu An: “…”

    You, man.

    He subconsciously wanted to refute.

    But, inappropriately, he thought of his lips, which had been kissed swollen a few days ago, and… the faintly lingering scent of sandalwood on his glands.

    Judging by the degree of intimacy.

    Xie Jinsheng was indeed at least half his man.

    His ears were a little hot, and a cup of hot water was handed to Yu An. Just as he was about to say thank you, he heard Jing Zhixun:

    “In your memories, did you see anything about the past in the lab?”

    Yu An had just taken the first sip of water when he almost choked upon hearing this, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

    Just at this moment, 089’s voice came from his mind: [Host, I found it. This place is superficially a medical base, but its full name is—Circulation Inspection Office (One of them). Strange… Why does it have such a strange name?]

    089 was still confused.

    But Yu An’s pupils shrank, and he instantly thought of a terrifying idea that had emerged in the vortex.

    “089, I forgot to tell you something.” He paused and said:

    “In the memory vortex, I saw that more than a hundred years ago, Xie Jinsheng and I knew each other as children. He had been to… my world.”

    089: ?!!
