Lei You stared blankly at the empty wine glass in his hand.
"You... You, you..." He stammered, pointing at Yin Mingzhen, struggling to hold back his profanity.
It wasn't that he lacked vocabulary; he was afraid that if he cursed at Yin Mingzhen, she might get annoyed and annihilate him with her formidable abilities.
As he wrestled with the idea of whether to curse her out loud, the man who had just finished a glass of wine calmly took a seat, showing no intention of leaving.
This is going too far!!!
Lei You was about to chase him away when the man on the couch lifted his gaze, sending a chilly stare that instantly made Lei You back down.
Yin Mingzhen, with an air that didn't seem like she had barged into someone else's home, but rather like she owned the place, said, "I have something to discuss with Shi Qing."
In other words, she was kicking him out directly.
Lei You really wanted to tell her to have her conversation right there, and he could just cover his ears. However, the man in front of him didn't seem right. Lei You had spent these days intentionally provoking Shi Qing, but it was the first time he saw such an expression of absolute intolerance on Yin Mingzhen's face.
It was as if, if Lei You didn't leave now, this man who never initiated physical confrontations with anyone would make an exception and teach him why roses were so red.
Although Lei You had a bit of a juvenile side, his ability to earn so much money and occupy a high position among all the second-generation elites in the base proved that he wasn't as willful as he appeared.
So, no matter how reluctant he felt, he could only leave the villa after giving Shi Qing instructions like an old father, "If you need anything, just call me on your phone," "Don't be afraid of him; I'll support you," and the like, with a face full of resentment.
After Lei You left, Shi Qing didn't speak again. He quietly returned to the couch, curling up with his little blanket. It wasn't until Yin Mingzhen cleared the room that he let out a sigh and scooted closer to the couch.
"Shi Qing."
Yin Mingzhen looked over, and Shi Qing, like a young kitten, had curled up into a ball under the blanket. When he saw her gaze, he immediately turned his face away, pretending to be evasive.
Seeing the softening expression on his face, Yin Mingzhen sat down directly, reached out, and pulled him into her arms. Feeling that Shi Qing didn't resist, his heart, which had been suspended in the air, finally settled down.
"I lied to you earlier, and I was wrong."
Shi Qing let out a soft hum, but his tone was gentle, not angry; it sounded more like he was being coy.
Yin Mingzhen's hand rested on the blanket, as if she could feel the softness of the young man's belly. Her heart involuntarily softened as well.
She lowered her voice, coaxing him like a child, "I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?"
"I promise I won't lie to you again, and I'll stay by your side as your partner, okay?"
Shi Qing hummed again, this time with a cold huff, "I'll see how I feel."
But his resistance to pushing away the hand Yin Mingzhen had placed in front of him had weakened.
Clearly, this little guy talked tough, but in reality, he had already softened.
Yin Mingzhen's heart melted into a puddle.
"Well then, come back with me. It's troublesome to stay here and inconvenience others."
The man who never spoke ill of others behind their backs calmly added, "Lei You hasn't been comfortable bringing his friends over lately. It's not easy for him to bring his male and female companions home."
Shi Qing didn't react much; he already knew what kind of person Lei You was.
As he listened to the words of the human hero, he obediently remained in Yin Mingzhen's embrace, playing with the calluses on the man's palm with his tender fingertips, one by one, gently brushing against the rough spots in the man's hand.
It was just like what they used to do when he hadn't moved out yet, watching TV together at home.
As he cuddled the pacified young man, the man's body suddenly stiffened abruptly.
He felt a surge of heat rising from inside his body, spreading to various parts of his body.
Especially since Shi Qing was in his arms now, even the smallest spark could ignite a raging fire.
Yin Mingzhen's gaze gradually became hazy, but his will remained clear.
It was precisely because his will was clear that he became more aware of the heat in his body.
In his arms was Shi Qing.
His Shi Qing.
The person he liked.
The man's grip on the young man's hand tightened, like a giant python, firmly entangling its prey.
The python's brain began to fog up, but its subconscious was no longer satisfied with merely encircling its prey. It wanted to convey its appetite to the prey.
The system, watching the reddening face and the dazed expression, and seeing Yin Mingzhen's slender fingers starting to unbutton Shi Qing's cuff, immediately reported: "Host, he wants to take advantage of you!!"
"I know, hehehe."
Shi Qing's laughter sounded almost obscene. He rolled over like a carp, skillfully increasing the weight, and his delicate wrist touched the sofa, eventually finding a tie.
That tie ended up on Yin Mingzhen's wrists.
Shi Qing even leisurely tied a bowtie with it.
During this process, Yin Mingzhen blushed and remained motionless, like an obedient baby, watching Shi Qing's movements.
Shi Qing teased him, "Do you know I'm tying you up? Aren't you afraid?"
Yin Mingzhen's brain was a bit hazy, devoid of its usual composure. He blushed slightly and looked at him with an almost innocent look, shaking his head gently.
In a magnetic and somewhat sluggish voice, he replied, "Not afraid, it's Shi Qing."
Shi Qing cheerfully kissed his cheek.
Steadily keeping the man who was gazing at him with obedient eyes, he pressed his face against his coat, feeling the long-lost elasticity:
[System, you can go read the "Tao Te Ching" now.]
System: [...]
It was also proficient, so it matched up against the mosaic.
It didn't matter.
As long as the host wasn't being taken advantage of.
Even though it looked like the host was the one taking advantage of others.
※※※
When Yin Mingzhen woke up, he felt a bit sore in his waist, his legs were a bit numb, and his arms were a bit tingly.
He tried to lift his hands but found that they were bound.
Yin Mingzhen: ?
He reluctantly lowered his head to look and met Shi Qing's soft hair.
The young man was lying on top of him, with his face pressed against the man's chest.
— With that weight.
No wonder he had felt uncomfortable in his chest.
"You're awake."
Hearing movement, Shi Qing raised his head, leaned forward, and extended his slender white fingers, poking at the handsome man's face one by one.
Memories gradually came back, and Yin Mingzhen finally realized what had just happened.
To be honest, when he felt the effects of the drug, he had thought about achieving a perfect and harmonious union of love and life with Shi Qing like this.
But he never expected that he had just started, and then he blanked out. He had to rely entirely on his memory to recall what had happened. What was even more unexpected was that in these two hours, he had been completely dominated by Shi Qing.
Yin Mingzhen moved his lips and realized that his mouth was a bit swollen.
Should he be thankful that Shi Qing didn't know anything, so even though he had been completely suppressed, they had only cuddled for two hours?
Although the cuddling was a bit complicated.
And the program had many aspects.
And the king of the mechanical race finally had the opportunity to carefully study the issue of human structure, which led to the fact that in this completely suppressed situation where Yin Mingzhen had been drugged and nobody helped him resist, the matter of releasing the effects of the drug through arousal, Yin Mingzhen decided to bury it deep in his heart.
It was too embarrassing.
But luckily, only Shi Qing had witnessed this embarrassing scene.
The man, with great difficulty, used his abilities to free his bound hands. Because he had been tied up for so long, his hands were a bit numb.
Yin Mingzhen, with trembling hands, cautiously embraced Shi Qing, who was lying on top of him.
"Come back home with me, okay?"
"You said I'm your little brother."
Feeling a bit annoyed, Shi Qing raised his face and stared directly into Yin Mingzhen's eyes. "You humans, brothers can't become partners."
"I was wrong. You're not my brother; you're my partner."
Yin Mingzhen lowered his head and gently kissed the quivering eyelashes of the young man. "Let's get married so that everyone in the base knows you're my partner, okay?"
"Okay."
Shi Qing readily agreed, but then he became a bit annoyed. "Can't males get married to each other among humans?"
While comforting the young man, Yin Mingzhen felt his sore waist and made a mental note to deal with Le You later. He had ambitious intentions; otherwise, why would he say these things to Shi Qing?
He held the young man's hand and tightened it slightly, as if he were afraid that if he let go, the person in his arms would run away. In a magnetic voice, he promised, "We can, as long as Shi Qing wants it."
"Whatever Shi Qing wants, I'll make it happen."
After all, it was time to change things in this base.
