Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 40
byChapter 40
Qi Feiluan looked at Ji Xingyuan in disbelief for a long time, trying to read something else from his expression, but he failed.
Ji Xingyuan’s expression and tone were full of gloom and anxiety, as if… as if he disliked him for being “dirty”.
Seeing that Qi Feiluan remained motionless, Ji Xingyuan said: “If you don’t want to take it off yourself, then I will do it?”
Qi Feiluan stiffly bowed and took off his shoes and socks. Just as he was about to put them outside, Ji Xingyuan snatched them away and threw them out of the bathroom.
He stood barefoot on the tile floor, and the bright lights in the bathroom shone on the smooth tiles, making the entire bathroom look neat and clean, and at the same time making him feel even more embarrassed.
Qi Feiluan endured the embarrassment and unfastened his belt, took off his shirt and pants, but hesitated when he touched his underwear.
Ji Xingyuan was opposite him, looking at him with burning eyes.
Qi Feiluan gritted his teeth and said, “I can wash it myself.”
“We’ve all seen it before, there’s no need to be embarrassed.” Ji Xingyuan remained unmoved, “Continue.”
Qi Feiluan has spent more than one vulnerable period with Ji Xingyuan, but this does not mean that he will not feel ashamed.
Qi Feiluan took off the last covering and stood naked in the bathroom.
In Ji Xingyuan’s eyes, the scenery was really good. Qi Feiluan stretched out his body and stood under the light. He wore an armed belt all year round, which left obvious concave marks on his skin, like another layer of hidden ropes.
Just the thought that such strangulation marks were made to protect him made him even more impulsive.
Ji Xingyuan took off the shower head next to him and rushed towards Qi Feiluan.
The hot water sprayed from the shower head wetted Qi Feiluan from beginning to end, and the hot steam soon filled the entire bathroom.The water rolled down Qi Feiluan’s body, merged with the water in the pattern on the tiles, and flowed from the toe gap to the drain.
Ji Xingyuan took a series of cleaning supplies such as shampoo and personally rubbed Qi Feiluan from beginning to end.
When that hand with foam crossed Qi Feiluan’s body and even touched the inner thigh, Qi Feiluan still couldn’t help but resist.
Ji Xingyuan completely ignored Qi Feiluan’s resistance and washed Qi Feiluan thoroughly from the inside out like a lamb.
Then he pressed Qi Feiluan against the tiles filled with water vapor and enjoyed his results.
For Ji Xingyuan, this memory was shrouded in a layer of moist, hot water vapor, a scene mixed with lust and satisfaction. But for Qi Feiluan, that memory was filled with complete embarrassment and shame.
“No respect, nothing… Who would treat a human being like this except a tool?”
No matter how embarrassing the memory is, it will be gradually covered by time. Qi Feiluan almost consciously chose to forget this memory, but sometimes, the past will crawl out on its own.
“Not just once, you spent four whole years making me realize that I was just your possession, your tool, and now you say you love me and will treat me as an equal?”
Qi Feiluan returned to his usual expressionless look, and slowly but firmly uttered three words: “I don’t believe it.”
Ji Xingyuan froze on the spot and opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
The memories that once had a damp color became dim. At that time… not long after the prosthetic replacement surgery on Qi Feiluan’s neck, he was indeed indulged in the happiness of completely “getting” Qi Feiluan.
After getting the promise of “never leaving you” and “marking” Qi Feiluan, he relied on that promise and mark to enjoy this person unscrupulously to satisfy himself.
Qi Feiluan was silent for a while, as if he just remembered what Ji Xingyuan said just now, and then continued: “You said Yunta… said it was an invitation, but if I were not your possession, your tool, if I could really refuse, then you would not appear in front of my door at the same time as Fu Jun. When you and Fu Jun stand in front of me at the same time, do I still have the right to choose?”
As he spoke, Qi Feiluan reached out and took Ji Xingyuan’s left hand off his shoulder, stretched out the glove Ji Xingyuan wore on his left hand, revealing the cold silver metal surface underneath, and then placed Ji Xingyuan’s left hand on his neck, which was also replaced by a metal prosthesis.
“And your left arm… You replaced your left arm with a prosthetic limb, wasn’t it just to… monitor me better?”
Ji Xingyuan suddenly took back his left hand and felt a sharp sting.
No…
He replaced his left hand with a prosthetic limb just because he felt guilty.
It turned out that he had a positioning monitoring device built into his left hand, which he replaced on a temporary basis when he went to the hospital to take out the device.
He knew that Qi Feiluan did not need this kind of guilt, so he never expressed his thoughts.
But at this moment, it seemed that his left hand had become evidence of guilt.
However, Ji Xingyuan was speechless at Qi Feiluan’s words, because he knew that Qi Feiluan was right.
If he could really respect Qi Feiluan and treat him as an equal as he said, then he would never have heard about Qi Feiluan’s date with Fu Jun, and there would be no way he and Fu Jun would appear at Qi Feiluan’s door at the same time.
“I’m sorry.” Ji Xingyuan said awkwardly and dryly, “I did not replace my left arm to further monitor you, and I will not monitor you again in the future.”
“You are free and independent, not my property or tool. I will fully respect your wishes in the future and will never do anything wrong again.”
Qi Feiluan sat quietly on the bed and said calmly but firmly: “I don’t believe it.”
“I——”
Ji Xingyuan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Qi Feiluan: “Don’t promise things you simply can’t do.”
“I can, I can do it. You have to at least give me a chance to prove that I can-”
The words were so feeble, and Ji Xingyuan also knew that his past actions had left him without any trust in Qi Feiluan’s eyes, but if he really could get a chance to start over, Ji Xingyuan would be willing to say it a thousand or ten thousand times.
“Even if Fu Jun and I are together?”
Qi Feiluan once again interrupted Ji Xingyuan’s words. That short question was like a shocking sword thrust by an ancient swordsman. It was precise, cold, pointed directly at the vital point, and sealed the throat with one sword.
Ji Xingyuan sat in front of Qi Feiluan, as stiff as a sculpture.
The two of them fell into the icy lake called silence, and Qi Feiluan was a little discouraged.
Look, this is what it looks like.
Ji Xingyuan said that he was free and independent, but a free and independent person can decide who he can be with, who he can decide to spend his life with, and he can also decide his own life.
But Ji Xingyuan would never allow him to be with anyone else. That was the case four years ago, and it will be the same four years later.
Between them… there was never a “restart” to speak of.
Qi Fei x Luan thought for a long time about why the two of them ended up where they are today. He thought about it for a long time, and in the end he could only think that it was Alpha’s identity and power that distorted Ji Xingyuan.
The world is shaped like a pyramid, and Ji Xingyuan stands at the top of the pyramid.
When a person has physical fitness and energy beyond ordinary people, has great power and money, and has the power to rewrite universal rules, how can he sincerely treat a person who he can easily control in every aspect?
Qi Feiluan was a little unable to sit still, and stretched out his hand to support the bed. Along with his warming body came a strange and strong desire. He longed for something very, very much.But he is a Beta, and his glands were replaced four years ago. This desire has no direction at all, and there is no instinct on how to get through special times.
Qi Feiluan’s expression became even more chaotic and confused, and he murmured to himself: “It’s so hot…”
The sculpture-like Ji Xingyuan collapsed. He propped himself up on the bed and kissed Qi Feiluan.
This kiss is not so much a kiss as it is the last lick of the prey in its mouth by a desperate beast.
It knows that if it lets the prey go, it will starve to death, but if it doesn’t let the prey go, it will also be trapped in pain forever.
Ji Xingyuan pried open Qi Feiluan’s lips, and Qi Feiluan subconsciously cooperated because of familiarity. His tongue and teeth collided, adding a bitter and sweet taste of blood to the kiss.
After the kiss ended, Ji Xingyuan leaned on Qi Feiluan without getting up, almost face to face with him.
Although he was so close, Qi Feiluan couldn’t see Ji Xingyuan’s face clearly.
Then he heard Ji Xingyuan say:
“If that’s your wish and choice, I respect it.”
Qi Feiluan was still deep in chaotic desire, and for a moment he didn’t understand that Ji Xingyuan was answering his previous question.
Immediately afterwards, he felt cold liquid dripping on his hot forehead and sliding down his eyebrows.
Is it raining?
Many biologists and anthropologists believe that humans already had a way of communicating before language was formed. Pheromones are the first language given to humans by nature. Alpha and Omega attract each other through pheromones and feel the ups and downs of each other’s emotions.
What about Beta?Losing the ability to secrete and sense pheromones and having no special period. Whether such evolution has more benefits than disadvantages or disadvantages outweighs benefits is still debated by biologists and anthropologists.
But losing the ability to feel pheromones made Qi Feiluan, who was so hot and aching, unable to be comforted by the cold wind-like pheromones. He could only rise and fall in the clouds composed of heat.
The pheromone concentrate injected into his body not only caused his body temperature to rise abnormally, but also made him softer, moister, and more relaxed.He tried his best to cling to another person whose body temperature was slightly lower than his, trying to relieve the high fever that seemed to swallow up his whole body, but it only succeeded in quenching his thirst by drinking poison, and the places where Ji Xingyuan came into contact with him were also heated up.
Ji Xingyuan’s hands repeatedly groped and pressed the indentations left by the armed belt on Qi Feiluan’s body. Then he simply changed his position and placed a series of passionate kisses on the marks left over the years. He even licked and bit the skin obsessively, as if he was eager to confirm and prove something.
Ji Xingyuan never gambles, because he knows that the people who sit at the gambling table are uncertain people, even desperate people, and they all carry the madness of all-or-nothing.
But now he is like a gambler on the gambling table. He has made a promise and played hard. He can only bet that the person in front of him cannot really be with others, and pray that he will not lose everything.
