Chapter 58: Was I lied to all along?

Chapter 58: Was I lied to all along?

Yu An always felt that the Alpha’s emotions were very abnormal.

It wasn’t until he glanced at the clock behind him that he realized he had been gone for almost three hours.

But from his perspective, his conversation with Senior Xu had lasted less than an hour.

This is…

[The flow of time is different.] 089 said, [Host, I’ve discovered that there seems to be a strange power in this valley that doesn’t belong to Dr. Xu.]

“What kind of power is it?” Yu An frowned.

[I might need to investigate. Give me some time!]

089 glanced at the scene and its little round mechanical face turned red. It couldn’t help but say, [Um, Host… you’d better hurry up and find a way to get out from under Xie Jinsheng.]

Otherwise, it felt like they were doing things that were inappropriate for a system.

It was making it impossible for it, a little system, to work properly.

Yu An: “…”

It was fine if it hadn’t been mentioned, but now that it was, he finally came back to his senses.

His chin was being held slightly up.

He was forced to meet Xie Jinsheng’s eyes.

They were so close that they could see each other’s reflections in their eyes.

The force of the constraint made Yu An once again feel the Alpha’s restless anxiety.

Although it was buried deep, he could feel it from the other’s rapid heartbeat against their chests.

“I didn’t break my promise.” Yu An looked at him, his lips parting slightly, and said, “I only stayed inside for an hour. It’s just that the flow of time is different here, which is why you waited so long. I promised to come back for you, how could I forget?”

So, how could he abandon him or deliberately make him wait outside?

He was a person who kept his promises. He would never forget what he had promised.

The Alpha’s expression softened a little upon hearing this. But his dark eyes still held shards of ice, as if they would melt at the slightest touch.

So, Yu An raised his soft palm and placed it on the back of his hand, where blue veins were bulging, and continued softly, “Besides, I still have my things in your hands. My change of clothes and… underwear. Wouldn’t it be a great loss to leave like this?”

The young man’s eyes were moist and round, and he deliberately told a joke to make him happy.

Xie Jinsheng sensed that his tense mind had returned to normal, but his voice was still hoarse: “So, that’s why I didn’t barge in.”

Instead, he had waited outside for three hours.

He thought that even if Yu An really wanted to stay away from him, he couldn’t possibly abandon his luggage.

And the mysterious box inside.

The Omega had held and caressed it several times, so he knew it was important. He wouldn’t be abandoned on this trip no matter what.

But gradually, two hours passed and Yu An still hadn’t come out. He kept telling himself not to overthink it, that the other party couldn’t have left.

But then another possibility suddenly occurred to him—

Had something happened to Yu An inside?

That was why he hadn’t come back yet.

The sense of security that had been established before collapsed in the face of this idea. It was at this moment that Xie Jinsheng vaguely realized.

He didn’t know when it had started, but Yu An was different to him. He couldn’t help but care about him.

“If I don’t see you in four hours, or if they dare to hurt you, I won’t let this place go.” A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his dark eyes.

Yu An was stunned.

It wasn’t because he was surprised by the Alpha’s expression, but because he suddenly realized that Xie Jinsheng’s reaction at this moment wasn’t just fear of being abandoned, but more… fear that something would happen to him.

A warm breeze seemed to sweep through his heart, an itch spreading, blowing away a barren and arid land amidst the vibrant spring.

Since coming to the Space-Time Bureau, Yu An hadn’t experienced the feeling of being cared for in a long time.

After a long pause, the corners of his eyes were tinged with a bit of pink as he said, “Xie Jinsheng, let me tell you, I’m very afraid of pain, and I’m also very afraid of death, so no matter what, I won’t let anything happen to myself.”

Their eyes met.

It was like two souls colliding, and the heartbeats in their chests overlapped for a moment.

The angle looked really wrong…

Countless erotic novels flashed through Yu An’s mind, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t bear it any longer. He quickly said, “You’re pressing on my leg, it hurts.”

The Omega whimpered softly.

Xie Jinsheng came back to his senses and immediately let go of him.

Yu An quickly propped himself up and sat down, leaning against the corner of the wall and rubbing his ankle.

When he was pinned down just now, his ankle had accidentally bumped into a pebble, and now it was red and a little sore. His leg also hurt a bit, probably from being bumped as well.

He glanced around, trying to find his small satchel.

Suddenly, a slender ankle was grabbed by a bony, well-defined hand.

Xie Jinsheng had extremely beautiful hands, well-proportioned and strong, and of course, very long.

The veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.

Yu An didn’t know where he had heard it, but men with beautiful hands were also well-endowed in that area.

The tips of his ears suddenly burned, and he subconsciously wanted to pull back, but his slender ankle was gripped even tighter.

“Don’t move,” Xie Jinsheng said.

Then, a cool ointment was applied to the wound.

The Alpha seemed afraid of hurting him, and his movements were very gentle.

It was strange.

This man had such a cold expression, yet his application of the medicine was clumsy but with a hint of tenderness.

Yu An couldn’t understand.

How could such an Alpha be single all the way to the ending without finding a wife?

Was it because he hadn’t met the right one, or because he was too cold-blooded and crazy after recovering his memory…

Thinking of this, Yu An lowered his eyes, his thoughts completely sinking: “Xie Jinsheng, can I ask you a question?”

The fragrant and soft Omega had taken the initiative to get a little closer to him, and for some reason, his tone was a little low.

Xie Jinsheng: “Speak.”

Yu An shrank back, built up his courage for a long time, and then opened his mouth: “If, I mean, if someone lied to you…”

The action of applying the medicine suddenly stopped.

He looked up and saw the man staring straight at him, asking in a low voice, “What did you lie to me about?”

“…” Yu An’s eyes widened. “No, I mean, if! If someone lied to you, what should you do?”

He couldn’t possibly be his wife for the rest of his life, right?

As a host, he would have to leave in the future.

Moreover, what if Xie Jinsheng recovered his memory in the future?

This was also the problem currently facing Yu An.

If he chose to help the doctor collect the keys, should Xie Jinsheng be brought along, or should they part ways?

In his heart, he didn’t want to choose the second option.

Then he had to remedy the fact that he had lied to Xie Jinsheng about having another wife when they first met. Only by resolving this matter could they travel together without Yu An having any worries.

“Then continue to lie, and never let me discover that it’s a lie,” Xie Jinsheng said.

Yu An: “…”

He paused for a few seconds, “But lies are ultimately illusions. How do you know it’s definitely beautiful and worth being deceived? Maybe it’s a burden.”

Xie Jinsheng didn’t say anything, only asked, “Where else does it hurt?”

He was deliberately avoiding his question.

Yu An swallowed, made a great determination, and raised his eyes: “Xie Jinsheng, I have something to tell you. Can we go back to being friends?”

Lower the relationship a bit.

That way, even if Xie Jinsheng recovered his memory, he wouldn’t kill him for deceiving him about being his wife.

Who knew that the moment the words fell, the air turned ice-cold.

The ointment fell to the ground.

Then, his thin body was suddenly pinned against the corner by the Alpha, his shoulders squeezed painfully.

Xie Jinsheng’s voice came from his ear: “Can friends kiss, can friends sleep together, can friends have little monster babies with me?”

Yu An was stunned by his question.

He thought, of course friends can’t do these things!

Xie Jinsheng saw through the young man’s thoughts at a glance: “So, you want me to lose a wife for no reason?”

Yu An: “…”

“Or do you hate me?” His voice suddenly turned cold, and he said with a smile, “Yu An, were the things you said before, your kindness to me, all lies too?”
