Yin Mingzheng: "..."
Yin Mingzheng: "..."
His mouth kept opening and closing, but he didn't know what to say.
Leaving aside Shi Qing's identity as an extraterrestrial and his gender, just his youthful appearance made Yin Mingzheng feel extremely guilty.
Unable to restrain himself, Yin Mingzheng lay on the floor and voiced a question from deep within his heart, "Are you an adult?"
Shi Qing: "What does being an adult mean?"
"It means, how old are you this year?" Yin Mingzheng struggled to prop himself up, and fortunately, after several tests of endurance, his physical strength had improved a bit. Although he still couldn't directly push Shi Qing away, he could at least make some movements.
Just as he moved a bit, Yin Mingzheng noticed that the young man above had increased his weight again.
Then, Shi Qing's voice rang out crisply, almost like he was bragging, "I'm a little over fifty thousand years old, from birth until now."
Yin Mingzheng: "...Didn't you just say you were born recently?"
"Yeah, I was born not too long ago." Shi Qing sat firmly on the man's body, looking as if he were innocently telling the truth.
"Time has no meaning for mechanical species. After I was born, I floated in space with a mechanical army searching for new planets until I found Blue Star, and only then did I start to move around. So, you could say I was born not long ago."
The human hero quickly found a loophole and asked Shi Qing, "How many years have you been on this planet?"
"If we calculate it according to Blue Star's time, it's been about a week."
Yin Mingzheng's grip loosened, and his head thudded onto the floor.
"That's probably not going to work."
"On Blue Star, we calculate age based on the first day each person arrives on Blue Star. You've only been on Blue Star for a week, so you're still a baby."
Shi Qing, looking utterly bewildered, tilted his head slightly and asked, "So, I'm a little baby on your planet?"
Looking at the clear eyes of the young man above, Yin Mingzheng's mood was complicated. He didn't know if he felt more guilty about bullying a child or more excited about finding a way out.
In any case, he wasn't lying. Children on Blue Star were indeed considered to be one year old from the first day they arrived in this world.
Yin Mingzheng looked at Shi Qing with a complex expression and said emphatically, "That's right, but on Blue Star, you have to be eighteen years old to become a... partner. Children can't do that."
"I see."
"Well, you're my partner, so I'll listen to you."
Before Yin Mingzheng could breathe a sigh of relief, Shi Qing placed his hand over his chest through his outerwear, his fair little face looking perfectly natural. "If we can't do that, we can at least follow the Blue Star procedure and touch each other's 'little parts.'"
"I don't mind your 'little parts,' and you can't dislike mine either."
Upon hearing these words, Yin Mingzheng's eyes widened, and he tried to push away, but he struggled in vain. His hand veins bulged, and the muscles that were not very prominent under his clothes bulged with strength, but Shi Qing's slender and delicate fingers held them firmly at his side.
Two minutes later, Shi Qing raised his waist, a satisfied look on his face, and stood up from the floor.
The man on the ground remained in a dazed and stupefied state, as if he hadn't fully grasped what had just happened. It was only when he saw the young man standing above him, his eyes filled with satisfaction and contentment, and his lips glistening as if covered in dewdrops, that he finally reacted.
"No wonder your planet has this procedure; it really feels good."
After saying this, the several-thousand-year-old Shi Qing baby crouched down and, with a satisfied look on his face, made a proposal to the dazed Yin Mingzheng, "Let's do this procedure every day from now on, until I turn eighteen on Blue Star."
Having lived for so many years without any intimate contact with anyone after losing his first kiss, the old cadre stared at the young man above him, who looked satisfied and trusting with clear eyes. There was a hint of complexity in his expression.
A man would always pay special attention to someone he had intimate contact with. After their first collision without their "little parts," Yin Mingzheng realized how strikingly attractive Shi Qing's appearance was. He had seen similarly delicate and attractive young men in the base, though not as dazzling as Shi Qing, but they could have easily become idol stars before the arrival of the insect race.
However, due to their almost fragile appearances, they lacked the ability to fight the insect race and didn't have the strength to do physical labor in the current base. They had to rely on others, like caged canaries, to be shown off by their owners.
Someone had even suggested giving Yin Mingzheng such a canary, but he had flatly refused, saying that he wasn't considering such things at the moment.
And now, he was pinned to the floor by this seemingly fragile and innocent young man, unable to resist as he explored with his "little part."
---Whoosh!
On his exceptionally handsome face, a belated flush finally spread across his entire visage.
[Ding! Yin Mingzheng's Repulsion Level: 97/100]
The system, which had watched Yin Mingzheng set up his host only to be tricked by the host again, calmly put on the fully functional mosaic brainwave headset it had bought and introduced to the host. It explained that this brainwave headset came with automatic task locking, automatically blocked content unsuitable for children under three years old, and would apply mosaics for the sake of task completion.
As a bonus, the central store also provided a set of "Guide on How to Build a Good Relationship with Your Host."
It opened the guide with a bit of excitement.
At this moment, Shi Qing happened to ask, "Why did you buy this?"
The system immediately recited as instructed in the guide, "On this day, a pure-hearted system passed away in great pain. I bought this to save it."
"If the host could comfort me a little, I would still be a fond little system."
Shi Qing felt that his system's IQ was dropping.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied, "My condolences. Do you want me to buy a wreath and place it at the grave?"
The system looked at the guide, which said, "The host will inquire anxiously about the well-being of the companion system and offer comfort," and... deleted the guide silently.
It didn't matter. It didn't need to dwell on these details. As long as the host completed the tasks well (I'm not feeling wronged at all.jpg).
Yin Mingzheng noticed that from that day onwards, Shi Qing seemed to have turned into a ravenous little leopard, always eyeing him.
When Yin Mingzheng was hungry and wanted to eat, they would first engage in a collision of "little parts."
When Yin Mingzheng didn't want to accompany him at night and wanted to sleep, they would first engage in a collision of "little parts."
When Yin Mingzheng wanted the humanoid mechanical beings in the room to leave, they would first engage in a collision of "little parts."
Not engaging wasn't an option either. The several-thousand-year-old little baby would directly press him against the floor, wall, bed, or glass, wall-slamming him until the embarrassed and satisfied Yin Mingzheng, with a red face full of shame, would relent. Only then would Shi Qing release him, looking content.
Yin Mingzheng had also mentioned to Shi Qing his hope that Shi Qing would help Blue Star as his companion, but he received an immediate rejection.
The extraterrestrial youth said unequivocally, "The mechanical species will never help other species."
After that, no matter how Yin Mingzheng tried to persuade him, Shi Qing would act as if he didn't hear and became cautious because of this proposal. He would confine Yin Mingzheng in the room, giving him everything he needed but not allowing him to leave.
On the third day after "watching" TV series, early in the morning when the sky was just getting light, Shi Qing walked in from outside, familiarly crawled into Yin Mingzheng's bed, and found that Yin Mingzheng was pretending to sleep.
He knew that this guy was pretending to sleep as soon as he entered. During battles with the insect race, as a human hero, he had fought the insect race almost every moment, and he had long developed the ability to wake up quickly at the slightest sound. How could he not react when Shi Qing came in?
Yin Mingzheng pretended to sleep, and Shi Qing didn't mind. He directly crawled into Yin Mingzheng's embrace and raised his head to examine Yin Mingzheng's "little part."
Yin Mingzheng pretended to sleep, and he watched as Shi Qing examined him, as if he could see a mischievous little leopard waiting confidently for its prey to fall into the trap in Shi Qing's excited eyes.
In these days of getting along, he had not only indulged but also gained something. At the very least, he had a rough understanding of the character of the greatest master on the spaceship, the extraterrestrial youth named Shi Qing.
Innocent but not foolish, extremely pure, and a quick learner. While he was easy to please, he also knew how to use various tricks and acts of spoiling to achieve his goals. The more they interacted, the more Yin Mingzheng found that if it weren't for the barrier of their different species, he might genuinely develop a fondness for Shi Qing.
But he was, after all, a human.
No matter how well Shi Qing treated him and how pure he seemed, Shi Qing intended to keep him confined to the spaceship for his entire life.
Yin Mingzheng forced himself to forget his sense of morality and guilt, gently encircled the youth in his arms, and felt his cool and soft touch. He lowered his head, allowing a smile to appear on his face, and lowered his eyes.
The youth's gentleness tormented him deeply.
He knew he was a fraud.
One day, he would abandon Shi Qing and leave this spaceship. When that day came, would the young man be sad? Would tears fall from those beautiful, clear, silver-white eyes?
Finally, Yin Mingzheng released the soft, damp-eyed youth in his arms. He looked at Shi Qing, whose silver-white eyes were shining brightly as he gazed back at him, and his mood grew even heavier.
He had deceived Shi Qing, this innocent and obedient young extraterrestrial.
"Alright, let's go explore the spaceship," Yin Mingzheng suggested.
Shi Qing blinked his eyes and pretended to be cute. "Explore the spaceship? What's that?"
Yin Mingzheng sighed, "Didn't you say that if I initiated once, you would let me go out?"
The young extraterrestrial raised his chin. "I didn't!"
"I said ten times! Ten times!!" Yin Mingzheng smartly extended ten fingers, bending down one, his face filled with the satisfaction of a hunter who had caught his prey. "You've only completed one cycle, so there are nine more to go."
"Alright, you can now complete the remaining nine cycles." With a smug expression, Shi Qing pouted and looked at Yin Mingzheng as if waiting for a kiss.
Yin Mingzheng silently gazed at him for a few seconds, his lips curving up with a suppressed smile. He reached out and circled the young man in his arms, lowering his head slightly to approach his ear. His magnetic voice, accompanied by a soft chuckle, whispered deeply into Shi Qing's ear:
"You little trickster."
