Early in the morning, the day after he got drunk, Luo Xiaolou felt sore all over his body, and it felt rather strange. The soft blanket on his back didn’t feel soft, and it was hot underneath him. Luo XiaoLou couldn’t resist trying to move what was underneath him.

The person underneath him grunted, somewhat impatient, but still resisted Luo Xiaolou’s strength, and an arm was placed on Luo Xiaolou’s back.

Luo Xiaolou stirred up and slowly opened his eyes, Yuan Xi’s handsome face was within reach. They had never been this close before, and Luo XiaoLou stiffened and breathed lightly in fear.

Yuan Xi had not woken up yet, and at this time, his long eyelashes covered his pair of harsh, always sarcastic, eyes. This showed off his beautiful and delicate features more than usual. The slender eyebrows were slightly knitted, as if there was a slight impatience in his sleep.

If one looked at this guy’s appearance when he was sleeping, he was really pretty. The wildness emitted from his body, even if it was likened to an animal, it was noble and beautiful and was tame at this moment. Luo XiaoLou was dumbfounded for a few seconds, and then finally realized in hindsight that he was actually sleeping on the couch on top of Yuan Xi. Due to the difference in size, he was being held in Yuan Xi’s arms.

Luo Xiaolou slowly remembered the events that occurred last night. Oh my god, he, he actually held Yuan Xi on the couch for the night. Yuan Xi, like him, didn’t have time to wash up, oh — when Yuan Xi wakes up he will be furious and want to kill someone!

Only after thinking that, beneath him, Yuan Xi moved, seemingly unconsciously, and hugged Luo XiaoLou and rubbed against him. 

What are you doing? What are you making a mess of! I’m surprised he’s doing this kind of pampering. He must be trying to use this to silence me later, right? 

Luo XiaoLou stared at the person beneath him, not noticing his body stiffening, his heart beating faster, and even the hand on his body trembling slightly without conscious effort.

And then — before Luo XiaoLou could think of how to leave the couch without waking Yuan Xi, he woke up.

As if completing the transformation from a proud and beautiful cat to a fierce lion in an instant, Yuan Xi squinted lazily, and after seeing the current situation clearly, his eyes immediately shifted to a glare, grabbed Luo XiaoLou’s collar and sat up.

“You! You — what happened last night?!” Although questioning with his mouth, it was as if Yuan Xi hadn’t noticed that he was still hugging Luo XiaoLou, who was now straddling his waist in his entirety due to his sitting position.

As Luo Xiaolou tried to move in the direction away from Yuan Xi, he said with a guilty conscience, “That, last night, I thought you wouldn’t be back until Sunday night. Yesterday, I went to buy mecha parts, and when I came back, I was invited by the students who came to help me for dinner.”

Luo Xiaolou carefully observed Yuan Xi’s face. He really couldn’t figure out why exactly Yuan Xi was throwing a tantrum. Seeing the current situation between the two of them, Luo XiaoLou added in a low voice, “I drank some wine during dinner, and I accidentally got drunk. I didn’t see you yesterday. You — when did you come back? Have you had dinner?”

As if in response to Luo Xiaolou’s words, Yuan Xi’s stomach growled. Yuan Xi’s body stiffened, his face turned red, and he said angrily, “Last night, as soon as you came back, you coquettishly dragged me onto the couch. Then you began to cry and begged me to carry you to bed. How could I have time for dinner?!”

Wha… what? Luo XiaoLou looked at Yuan Xi in stunned silence, coquettishly, crying, begging him? Luo XiaoLou swore he had never done anything so humiliating when he was drunk before. God, if this really happened, it must have been the original owner’s habit. It could never have been him.

Luo XiaoLou’s face temperature skyrocketed. He broke away from Yuan Xi, and got to his hands and knees, “Ah, I’m so sorry, you must be starving. I, I’ll go wash up and cook first.”

He went running to the guest room, stumbling on his way.

Yuan Xi scanned the huge boxes in the living room and thought back to last night.

He had rushed back from taking care of things earlier, and had taken a long detour to get away from the people who were tracking him before entering the apartment. But Luo XiaoLou, who was supposed to be at home cooking for him, wasn’t even there. Yuan Xi angrily sat on the sofa, waiting for him, but as a result, Luo XiaoLou didn’t come back and he fell asleep first.

When Luo XiaoLou came in at night, he tripped and fell on top of him, but Yuan Xi didn’t bother to move, rolled Luo XiaoLou up, and went back to sleep on the couch.

As for coquettish behaviour, and the crying and begging him, Luo Xiaolou actually did resist when he was pulled onto the couch and he wanted to go to the bed bed. A drunk person was always a little more courageous than usual, and a rabbit will bite even when provoked. 

Of course, in the end, Luo XiaoLou’s struggle was easily and ruthlessly suppressed by Yuan Xi — Yuan Xi proudly recalled.

Just why would he not tell Luo Xiaolou the truth? What if Yuan Xi told him that he knew Luo XiaoLou was so nice to him, and pampered himself every day — Yuan Xi’s face very suspiciously flushed again.

Yuan Xi shifted his position and stroked his chin as he continued to think about it. Last night had felt good, Yuan Xi’s thoughtful eyes fell on the boxes in the apartment…

When Luo XiaoLou brought breakfast to the table, Yuan Xi coughed, straightened his sitting posture, lifted his chin, and announced, “Put these parts in your room.”

Luo XiaoLou, who was drinking vegetable soup, almost choked, “What? The bed in the guest room takes up enough space, and with all this, how could it fit? I was going to put it in the study —”

“Take the bed out of your room and just turn the guest room into your mecha parts lab.” Yuan Xi said.

Luo Xiaolou exclaimed in surprise, “How can I do that? Where will I sleep?”

“You can stay in my room first, the bed is big enough for the two of us anyway. Although you have too many flaws, as a generous host, I can be tolerant and patient.” Yuan Xi suggested with rare enthusiasm.

Luo Xiaolou reluctantly continued, “But I can put them in the study. That’s what I originally planned to do.”

“No, I want to use the study. If you live in the master bedroom, it will be easier for you to help me prepare my clothes, tidy up, massage and so on. Besides, you’ll be a mecha builder, so you should always have your own lab. Alright, it’s decided.” Yuan Xi hammered away, handing the empty bowl to Luo XiaoLou and gesturing for him to serve the meal.

Can you be a little more shameless? When have you ever used the study? Wait, have a lab of his own? The offer was truly mind-blowing.

Luo XiaoLou stared at Yuan Xi for a few seconds, but finally gave in. It wouldn’t be bad anyway. It’d be easier to stay in the master bedroom since he was doing all that stuff too. Thinking on the bright side, the master bedroom was indeed a lot better than the guest room.

Satisfied that he had achieved his goal, Yuan Xi decided to give his slave a sweet date, “Every afternoon next week, we’re going to start training in various simulations, so if you get out of school early you can come see me. Use my card to get in and we can train together.”

 

Luo XiaoLou brightened up. Although it was mock training, it was still the training of a regular Mecha Warrior, “Okay, I’ll be there.”
