HISO Chapter 60

The man remained silent, and Yu An couldn’t stand being stared at like that, feeling an invasiveness that made his back tremble uncontrollably.

“Xie Jinsheng, you… hurry up and put me down.”

The boy’s voice carried a soft, pleading tone, his rosy lips opening and closing in front of him.

Xie Jinsheng could even feel the heat of his breath on the tip of his nose, mixed with the Omega’s light jasmine scent and the sweet, tempting aroma that he had tasted when he was half-conscious.

Instantly, Xie Jinsheng’s throat felt dry, as if on fire, and his heart was screaming for him to do something.

But the boy seemed unaware, still thinking about how to escape his confinement, his slender body restlessly rubbing against him in his arms, unknowingly enticing him.

The veins on the back of Xie Jinsheng’s pale hand were bulging, as he realized with unprecedented clarity that he was losing control.

All because of this well-behaved, soft Omega in front of him.

It was as if he could be moved to countless emotions with just a glance from him, lifting him to heaven and then plunging him into hell, making him wish he were dead.

But he seemed unable to shake Yu An’s thoughts in the slightest.

Suddenly, the light overhead came on, artificial sunlight.

A ray of light was cast into the originally dim corner.

It was then that Yu An saw the darkness in the man’s black eyes, the surging thoughts, and a faint hint of red.

As if he was desperately trying to restrain something, and enduring immense torment.

It was a look that Yu An had never seen before.

Because he couldn’t imagine that a powerful tentacled monster like Xie Jinsheng would ever reveal such a fragile expression, broken, as if his soul had long been riddled with holes, and was now being shattered bit by bit.

“Xie Jinsheng, what’s wrong? Is my suggestion not good?”

Yu An was a little at a loss, only knowing that he didn’t want Xie Jinsheng to be so sad anymore, his moist red lips parted, somewhat uneasy.

After a long while, he finally mustered up the courage to ask the biggest worry in his heart, saying:

“Tell me, Xie Jinsheng, are you angry because you don’t want to be just friends with me?”

But rather, wanted him to continue being his wife.

Kissing and hugging now, and then going to bed… and having him bear several litters of little tentacle babies?

Yu An became more and more dazed as he thought about it. At that moment, he even preferred to believe that Xie Jinsheng was just going through his heat, which was why he was treating him like this, rather than believe that it had anything to do with that answer!

Xie Jinsheng was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, then came back to his senses.

That’s right, why should he be so sad?

Was it because, without realizing it, he was also thinking about having a future with a human?

Ridiculous.

How could he have such a ridiculous idea?

Had these days together made him lose his mind, making him forget that they were not the same species, and not on the same path?

The boy was well-behaved and beautiful, and should be pampered in the base every day, living a carefree life.

But he was dirty and bloody, a monster covered in tentacles from birth.

Not only that, but he had lost all his memories half a year ago, his past a blank slate. He had no origin, no destination, and wandered through this world like a ghost.

Only the boy had been searching for him all along.

But on the night of their reunion in the Ruined City, the amnesiac him had held a knife to him, and even wanted to kill him at one point.

So how could Yu An not be afraid of him later, how could he still be willing to be his wife?

Perhaps, in Yu An’s heart, he had long wanted to end their previous relationship and just be friends with him.

He should have guessed it.

Because during these days, the way the boy looked at him had everything, but nothing of the deep love a wife should have for her husband.

So why should a monster crave the love of a human?

Could it be that he couldn’t live without this love?

Could it be that he had to be like a dog, fawning over him and begging for his pity even after he had said that he only wanted to be friends with him?

Thinking of this, Xie Jinsheng released the warm, soft boy in his arms, and his heart ached for a moment.

Yu An’s feet touched the ground unexpectedly, and his calves shook unsteadily.

He staggered a few steps and barely managed to steady himself by holding onto the wall.

The cool scent of sandalwood approached.

It was Xie Jinsheng who, at some point, had used his cold scimitar to lift his chin.

Yu An trembled and met the man’s dark eyes.

“Do you think I would like a soft, weak Omega like you?”

Xie Jinsheng’s voice was cold, as if stained with thin ice, his gaze inching over his eyebrows and eyes: “Whether it’s a wife or a friend, you’re no different in my eyes.”

089: […]

Damn man, if you have the guts, move your eyes away from my host’s face.

It was clearly a reassuring answer.

Yu An’s eyelashes trembled a few times, and a sense of loss arose in his heart for no reason.

Perhaps it was because Xie Jinsheng had never taken out his scimitar to him since they had become familiar, but now he was holding it against him like this, as if all their interactions during this time were not worth mentioning.

“Xie Jinsheng, you misunderstood,” Yu An realized something belatedly, saying, “I didn’t mean to dislike you for being a monster.”

On the contrary, he cared about this relationship, so he wanted to start over and not lie to him anymore.

“I only believe what I feel.” Xie Jinsheng paused, then took a few steps closer to him after thinking about something, somewhat maliciously saying:

“If you want me to trust you, then dare to put your neck under my blade and let me cut you twice?”

089: […]

You deserve to be single.

Sure enough, there is a pattern to being single until the finale.

Yu An didn’t expect him to say such a thing, and was stunned for a moment.

But if this were in the past, he might have been afraid, but after these days of getting along, he knew that he wasn’t really cruel.

These words were probably just to scare him, and he was about to offer his fair neck when Xie Jinsheng had already taken back his scimitar.

He laughed softly, but his eyes gradually turned cold.

What was he doing just now, trying to test this timid and weak boy in such a childish way?

This Omega was probably too afraid to be under his blade for the rest of his life.

After all, how cunning and terrifying were monsters to humans, no wonder he trembled in his arms from time to time.

So why should he care so much?

He was just a small Omega that could be seen everywhere, so what if he was more beautiful than others, what was so hard to leave behind?

Could it be that he had really fallen in love with a human?

His protection of him during this time was only because he used to be his wife, nothing more than a responsibility.

And now they had no relationship whatsoever.

He didn’t need to follow him like a dog anymore.

Whether Yu An lived or died had nothing to do with him from now on.

“Xie Jinsheng, where are you going?” Yu An saw him suddenly turn around.

A few lights in front went out, and the man’s slender figure happened to disappear into the dimness.

In the flickering light and darkness, Yu An couldn’t see his expression clearly, he could only hear his cold voice, seeming to carry a hint of self-deprecation: “Of course, to the place where a monster like me should go.”

See, even the lights knew that they were distinct.

Countless black tide-like tentacles receded like a storm.

By the time Yu An came back to his senses and chased after him, the Alpha had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
