    Chapter 37: He Came For Him

    Yu An, however, breathed a sigh of relief.

    Thankfully, Xie Jinsheng didn’t want to touch him.

    Otherwise, as a bent shou (submissive), if his skin was touched red on the spot by an Alpha, the scene would be incredibly awkward.

    Yu An didn’t want to experience social death twice in such a short period. Thinking this, the tension in his shoulders and neck eased, and he gave the man a grateful look.

    Xie Jinsheng: “…”

    Sometimes, he really wanted to know what was inside this Omega’s head.

    Couldn’t he learn to get angry?

    Even when being bullied wantonly, he seemed to only obediently endure. It was the same when boarding the train earlier. After the young man was entangled by his tentacles, he closed his eyes and let him examine his body.

    It seemed like anything he did was okay.

    Was he only like this in front of him, or was he like this to everyone?

    A strange thought suddenly arose in his heart, making him unhappy, and Xie Jinsheng suppressed it.

    Then he heard the young man say, “Were you attacked last night?”

    When Yu An was drunk, he vaguely heard movement in the forest.

    Plus, when chatting with 089, he learned that Xie Jinsheng was attacked by a wood-type ability last night. Although the other party couldn’t be hurt, Yu An was worried about other things.

    Hearing the Omega’s voice with a hint of worry, Xie Jinsheng “hmmed” in acknowledgment.

    Finally knew to care about him now.

    Who knew that the next second, he heard the young man say, “Did you leave any tentacle marks? Will they be discovered by Vice Captain Lin?”

    Xie Jinsheng: “………”

    For some reason, the man’s face suddenly turned much worse, and Yu An paused for a few seconds.

    Then he heard a low, hoarse voice, “Yu An.”

    This was the first time Xie Jinsheng had called him by his name. Yu An felt a strange tremor in his heart. The next second, his slender waist was restrained.

    Yu An was caught off guard and pressed against a tree trunk by the man. The Alpha’s voice was frighteningly deep, and he asked in his ear, “Am I that unsightly?”

    On the train, he made him wear a mask, and now he was afraid of him being exposed. Yet last night, after he was drunk, he was so proactive and affectionate…

    Rolling into his arms, rubbing and touching.

    Unlike now, he always trembled whenever he was near, as if he was afraid he would do something outrageous.

    Xie Jinsheng suddenly became a little jealous of himself last night.

    He looked at the timid young man and released him.

    Then he took two steps to the side, completely creating distance. Yu An felt the atmosphere was strange, walked up to him, and explained, “No, I’m just afraid that if others know your identity, they will…”

    Xie Jinsheng “hmmed” and interrupted him, turning his gaze elsewhere, refusing to look at him.

    Yu An: “…”

    He pursed his lips and asked softly, “Xie Jinsheng, why did you come along too? What do you want to do?”

    It was so much better to stay on the train.

    Who knew what they would encounter in the Ruined City.

    “Can’t I come?” Xie Jinsheng retorted, paused, and then added coldly, “Oh, I love suffering.”

    Yu An: ??

    How come he didn’t realize before that Xie Jinsheng loved cold humor so much.

    The bell for the group to continue the journey rang in the distance.

    The man had long legs and walked away in an instant.

    Yu An looked at that tall figure, looking blank.

    Was he angry again? Was it still because of the abdominal muscles being touched and taken advantage of last night, or—

    Did he think that he was disgusted by his monster identity?

    Yu An recalled his tone just now, which did sound a bit like it, but that wasn’t his intention, he just wanted to remind him not to be discovered by Lin Si.

    [Host, I’ve checked,] At this time, 089 couldn’t help but say, [Xie Jinsheng didn’t come for the Ruined City at all. He didn’t make any strange movements along the way, and has been by your side, so I suspect…]

    This tentacled monster probably has taken a fancy to you and wants to pick you up this trip!!

    Then he saw the young man’s eyelashes tremble, looking like he suddenly understood, interrupting its words, “So you’re saying, he came to protect me?”

    089: […]

    “No wonder he was so angry just now, I have to apologize to him later.” Thinking this, Yu An followed the team in front with his satchel.

    089: [………]

    Forget it, better not say it.

    If he knew that the tentacled monster next to him had some inappropriate thoughts about him, the host would definitely be terrified with how timid he is.

    It would affect his mood to do the mission.

    So, this arduous responsibility falls on it, 089.

    Since the host came with a clean little butt this trip, it must let the host go back with a clean little butt again!

    However, Yu An didn’t find a chance to talk to Xie Jinsheng during the journey.

    After the man put on his mask, he was cold and had an aura that kept strangers away.

    Yu An sighed, thinking that if he couldn’t find a chance, he would wait until they reached the Ruined City to talk about it.

    After passing through the cliffs, they encountered several infected creatures, but fortunately, they were all low-level, and the team quickly eliminated them.

    Half an hour later, they arrived at a gentle place with a river in front of them, equipped with ropes. Lin Si and two Alphas from his group, as well as other team members, had already arrived.

    “Once we cross this river, we’ll reach the Ruined City. Everyone must remain vigilant after entering the city.”

    As Feng Shu spoke, he gave everyone rainproof pants. When he saw him, he asked, “Little friend, do you need help? Before Vice Captain Lin set off to explore the road this morning, he specifically told me to take extra care of you.”

    Yu An said, “I’m fine, no need to trouble you.”

    This river was passable, and even at its deepest, it wouldn’t reach his waist. However, Yu An was just an ordinary person from the Space-Time Bureau, without any abilities, and a weak Omega.

    As soon as he went down, he was jolted by the coldness, and his legs began to tremble. He subconsciously grabbed onto the person next to him.

    Wearing a black robe, it was Xie Jinsheng.

    Yu An: “…”

    He silently retracted his hand that accidentally grabbed his waistband and said, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

    After speaking, he took two difficult steps.

    Zhen Yuan happened to see his predicament in the distance and walked towards him, saying, “Yu An, do you need help?”

    Yu An was just about to refuse.

    Who knew that the next second, the Alpha next to him suddenly picked him up without saying a word.

    Yu An: “…”

    Seeing this scene, Zhen Yuan paused and didn’t approach with a discerning look.

    Yu An felt embarrassed when Xie Jinsheng held him in his arms, “Won’t there be too many people? You should put me down.”

    The young man’s clothes were a little splashed with water, and his beautiful figure curves were clearly visible through the thin clothes.

    Xie Jinsheng paused for a few seconds, looked at the Alphas in front, and decisively took the young man in his arms to another waterway.

    There were fewer people here, but the river water looked much more turbulent.

    It was very difficult to walk.

    It must be uncomfortable for Xie Jinsheng to carry him, walking with a load.

    Yu An said, “Xie Jinsheng, why don’t I just walk myself.”

    Even Alphas would get tired.

    Who knew what they would encounter in the Ruined City later, he didn’t want to exhaust his strength too much.

    As he spoke, Yu An moved his legs, and the arm around him tightened even more.

    Xie Jinsheng said, “If you move around again, aren’t you afraid I’ll throw you down?”

    “…”

    The man bounced him, seeming like he really wanted to…

    “Don’t.” Yu An was so scared that he quickly hugged him, his thin chest snuggling against the Alpha.

    For some inexplicable reason, Xie Jinsheng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

    Imperceptibly, he held the soft and fragrant Omega in his arms even tighter.
