    Chapter 16 “Don’t Leave Me”

    Xie Jinsheng brought the firewood back.

    But for some reason, his face was unusually cold, and a vein on his neck was particularly prominent.

    Seeing this, the tentacles scurried back to their master’s feet.

    Yu An gathered his inexplicably weak legs, and a strange thought flashed through his mind – could Xie Jinsheng sense what was happening around him through these tentacles?

    No way…

    If that were the case, wouldn’t he be seen completely? That would be too embarrassing!

    Yu An quickly dismissed the idea.

    As the fire grew, the fish emitted a fragrant aroma.

    He also put the previous question out of his mind, tempted by the smell, he asked, “089, were you a chef system before?”

    The skills are surprisingly good.

    [I just like cooking a bit.] 089 was extremely happy to be praised and even lit up its little lights. [Taking care of the host is our duty as a system!]

    Yu An was very touched and secretly gave half of the fish to 089. Then, holding the remaining half, he handed it to the Alpha.

    “Xie Jinsheng, would you like to try some?”

    The man only stared at the fire, unmoved.

    It was a refusal.

    “Okay.” Yu An was a little dejected, looking at the Alpha’s unapproachable appearance, he felt that his goal of persuading Xie Jinsheng to board the train was likely to fail. “If you don’t leave the Ruined City, then I won’t leave either.”

    Xie Jinsheng paused for a few seconds.

    Yu An didn’t notice, he was almost treating the silent man as a tree hole, eating the grilled fish gloomily, and said:

    “But you, it would be so great if you could benefit humanity, you could definitely help a lot, maybe…”

    The world will soon return to peace, and you won’t have to be a villain anymore.

    The rest was not spoken, Yu An suddenly choked.

    Humans and bases would not welcome monsters.

    And Xie Jinsheng’s past experiences as a test subject would not allow this man to let go of the hatred in his heart.

    A sense of powerlessness, as well as some inexplicable emotions, arose in Yu An’s heart.

    In the end, he put away the train ticket in his hand and looked up at the sky.

    Looking at the distant stars, he paused for a long time and blurted out a heartfelt wish: “It would be so great if we could have a home together.”

    Then we wouldn’t have to float alone like these stars.

    Xie Jinsheng’s movements of wiping the jasmine flower on the scimitar stopped.

    Home.

    He turned his eyes and saw the boy reaching out, as if trying to grasp something illusory.

    [Host,] 089 propped its head and couldn’t help but interject: [Isn’t the Space-Time Bureau your home?]

    “It’s different,” Yu An replied.

    [Is that so?] The system’s CPU could not simulate human emotions.

    “Yes, a real home is where the heart is, it’s…”

    A place for the soul to return.

    As Yu An spoke, he felt a little sleepy, curled up against the ancient tree, and fell asleep.

    The night wind was very cold, and he would probably catch a cold overnight.

    089 was thinking about how to quietly put a quilt over him.

    But a slender shadow fell on Yu An.

    It was Xie Jinsheng.

    The Omega’s eyes were closed, and his hair, which looked black and soft, was clinging to his fair and soft cheeks. His eyelashes were long and curled, casting a small shadow on his eyelids, and his rosy lips were also pursed lightly.

    There was also a not-so-obvious lip bead.

    It seemed that it had to be repeatedly rubbed to be perceived.

    Obedient to a fault.

    At the same time, he was overly delicate and fragile, it was obvious at a glance that he should be well protected in the main city, instead of wandering outside.

    Xie Jinsheng took the coat and put it on the boy.

    Then he went to the other side of the old tree, propped up a long leg, and closed his eyes.

    This was a defensive posture.

    He was a light sleeper and was always alert.

    Not long after falling asleep, he felt something moving towards him, and he immediately opened his eyes.

    He found a warm body rolled to his side, shivering from the cold, and then hugged his arm with practiced ease.

    Xie Jinsheng’s body stiffened slightly, like a sculpture trapped in a frozen lake, motionless.

    But the boy in his sleep was completely unaware of the danger and was very bold.

    Feeling the scorching heat, the Omega directly wrapped himself around him.

    Xie Jinsheng: “…”

    Seeing their master’s expression, the surrounding tentacles quickly surrounded them, trying to pull the clingy boy away.

    The cold and slimy tentacles accidentally touched the Omega’s cheek.

    So Yu An, in his sleep, whimpered from the cold, and several red marks were rubbed on his neck, looking pitiful.

    So delicate.

    He didn’t know how he survived in the apocalypse.

    Xie Jinsheng waved the tentacles away.

    He raised his fingertips and gently rubbed the reddened side of the Omega’s neck.

    Slender, fragile.

    As if it would break with a single touch.

    Xie Jinsheng had always hated humans.

    He also hated the base and the main city.

    It was as if he had lost someone important there, so much so that approaching would cause his heart to ache and he would almost go crazy and collapse.

    For him, the most important thing in the past six months was to recover his memory and remember everything.

    He seemed to have someone he could not forget that he needed to remember, he seemed to be waiting for a promise that was more important than his life.

    So much so that he was not afraid to die in the Ruined City in order to remember everything.

    Until—

    Yu An’s appearance these days.

    This boy was gentle, mysterious, and knew many things about him.

    Although he didn’t hate him like others did, Xie Jinsheng could feel the fear in the Omega’s heart.

    He didn’t know if he was really his “wife”, nor did he know if he was deceiving him by getting close to him, or what his real purpose was.

    None of that mattered.

    Because to him, who had lost his memory, Yu An was just a stranger.

    They had never even marked each other. Such a beautiful boy could completely go to the base and find a human Alpha to fall in love with.

    Instead of staying by the side of a monster like him.

    Xie Jinsheng stared for a few seconds, withdrew his hand, and wanted to pick him up and send him home.

    But unexpectedly, as soon as he put his hand on the boy’s shoulder.

    The Omega skillfully nestled into his arms. It was as if he had done this hundreds of times, so much so that he had muscle memory.

    The sudden, intimate distance.

    Made Xie Jinsheng’s breath catch.

    He realized for the first time that the Omega’s body was like this.

    Soft to a fault.

    His snow-white, moon-like skin was delicate and smooth, with a faint, soft fragrance, and his slender arms hugged his neck tightly, very intimately.

    Xie Jinsheng only felt a surge of thoughts in his heart.

    At this moment, the boy seemed to be dreaming of something terrible and muttered incoherently:

    “Xie Jinsheng… don’t stay in the Ruined City, you’ll get hurt, I don’t want you to die…Wow.”

    It was related to him.

    Xie Jinsheng was stunned, listening to the boy’s rapid and uneasy breathing. After a moment, he couldn’t help but slowly lower his head to listen.

    “…Wow, don’t leave me.”

    “If you don’t leave, I won’t leave either… I’ll stay with you even if I die.”

    The boy’s words in his dream were still a bit jumbled, mixed with intense love, his fingers twisting his clothes.

    His knuckles were turning white.

    He looked anxious and desperate to keep him in his nightmare.

    Xie Jinsheng could easily push the frail Omega in his arms away with just a light push.

    But when he was surrounded by the scent of jasmine flowers, it was as if all his strength had suddenly been drained.

    Not only was he unable to push Yu An away.

    On the contrary, he felt an impulse to hold the boy’s thin body in his arms and entwine with him until death.
