Chapter 22: You are so strange!
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Karai
Ruan Yu’s eyes were closed, and he appeared to be resting in the nest like a quail, but in fact his brain was boiling.
He began to review Gu Xiuhan’s past behavior and words.
No wonder Gu Xiuhan refused to attend the sorority ball despite all the pampering and pleading he did before, but once he heard he was willing to act as a date, his attitude changed dramatically.
It was also no wonder that Gu Xiuhan, who was so out-of-touch, would fight in the fighting arena and sneer at Qin Yue uncharacteristically.
The most crucial thing was, those deliberate actions to avoid suspicion, and the coldness and distancing during this period of time.
Once he thought about this, Ruan Yu instantly guessed what the strange white color in Gu Xiuhan’s spiritual body symbolized.
Ruan Yu’s toes curled up under the blanket, and his face was so red that he didn’t know how else to flush.
But he did not know how to resolve the dilemma at hand.
If it were someone else, Ruan Yu would probably be clutching his fingertips nervously, whispering the perverted thoughts in his head and asking him to restrain himself.
As long as they weren’t completely shameless and skinless rascals, they would be so embarrassed in that situation that they would be mentally embarrassed, like Qin Yue that day, whose brain signals were only snowflake noises, which was quite effective.
But not to poke it could only be endured all the time, even if he does not actively read, those intense, emotionally intense EEG signals would be like sound waves transmitted automatically into his ears.
The rising body temperature was like a mild fire that burned Ruan Yu through from the inside out, and the sweet, sticky body scent that was steeped deep in flesh and blood was steamed out through the skin.
The pheromones of the sub-male mermaid had an effect on the male fish, although the cross-species effect would be significantly weakened, but the long-suffering repression had already made Gu Xiuhan’s valley owed hope into dry and hard firewood, half a spark could start a blaze.
[…]
[Also sweet.]
The voice of the heart, which conveyed strong obsession and restlessness, came out.
Ruan Yu listened uncomfortably, could not help but quietly lift a slit in the eyelids, peeking at Gu Xiuhan.
Really strange.
This person’s mind was all about fragrance, sweetness and panic, but the surface did not show any traces, a pair of as quiet as the sea black pupils focused on the light screen, a single look at the business.
If it wasn’t confirmed by reviewing Gu Xiuhan’s unreasonable behavior, Ruan Yu would have suspected that he was mentally deranged.
In fact, Gu Xiuhan was not a disguise, but a real dual purpose, the base of those trivial matters he used half of his attention was enough to deal with, as for the other half …
It’s just that Ruan Yu’s taste was too sweet.
Ever since Ruan Yu chased him to the energy planet against his will, it’s been twice as hard to contain the unpleasant imaginings that grew like weeds, and every time they’re forcibly suppressed, they’re met with a more violent backlash.
In order to maintain the apparent calm, Gu Xiuhan had to let the delusions breed and let the impulses have a vent. It was a long and continuous image.
It came into Ruan Yu’s mind like a small video that had been started without permission –
In the fantasy, Gu Xiuhan got up and walked to the bed, staring at Ruan Yu for a moment.
Then, he bullied his way up.
His knees pressed the edge of the bed into a soft depression, carrying his entire body towards the sleeping little mermaid, and his black leather boots brushed against Ruan Yu’s white sheets.
The boots were stained with dust and the fabric was a little blackened.
It was like a deliberate attempt to stain Ruan Yu’s fragrant sheets.
The fantasy Ruan Yu was oblivious to his approach, the corner of his lips rubbed against the goose down pillow, soaking up the light gray wet marks.
Gu Xiuhan slowly lay down next to him, unfolded his arms, from behind, the frame of the small mermaid with the thin blanket gathered into his arms.
He lowered his head and his nose, which was high and cold, brushed against the tail of Ruan Yu’s silvery blue hair.
Then, the tip of his nose poked into the nook formed by the gap between the back of Ruan Yu’s pajama collar and his spine, and sniffed deeply and long.
The hot, wet exhale from the back of his neck made Ruan Yu uncomfortable in his sleep.
He struggled in a daze, but Gu Xiuhan wrapped his arms tighter, confining Ruan Yu’s restless limbs, strangling the soft flesh until it was slightly deformed.
…
This series of images ended when Ruan Yu, who was forced to receive the entire fantasy, was close to fainting, the tip of his nose was perspiring, and his eyes were panicking under his eyelids.
Even if it’s fake, isn’t Gu Xiuhan… Too scary?
And even more frightening was that Gu Xiuhan was sniffing Ruan Yu with the tip of his nose in his imagination, but his breathing remained calm in reality. As if he was not thinking about that.
Ruan Yu was afraid that later Gu Xiuhan would think of something more outrageous, did not dare to pretend to sleep again, propped up on the pillow and sat up, a pair of round eyes angry glare at Gu Xiuhan, do not care to save face, open mouth to be difficult, “Brother Xiuhan.”
He was soft-tempered, but at this moment was really a bit topsy turvy.
If these were the only things he might not be so angry.
But these were just the ones he read in less than two days after his perception was raised, and these were several paragraphs. What about the ones he didn’t read before?
Is Gu Xiuhan thinking about this every day?
Gu Xiuhan’s image in his mind had always been a model, reliable older brother type, and indifferent like an asexual, when asked about emotional problems would coldly say “I’m not interested”.
This kind of older brother, but when looking at him, he will secretly have some bad thoughts such as “more beautiful when blushing”, “so tender”, “soft lips” and so on.
He also fantasized about smelling him while he was asleep, so much so that his nose went inside his clothes.
This degree of contrast was so great that Ruan Yu felt a deceitful anger in hindsight.
He was also inexplicably cold to him before, saying that he had grown up so he was not allowed to be clingy, and that he would not bring him to the Resource Planet even if he begged… It’s all because he was afraid these thoughts would be seen through.
Fake decency.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
From Gu Xiuhan’s point of view, it appeared that Ruan Yu inexplicably slept himself into anger.
Or extreme anger.
It’s like dreaming that Gu Xiuhan finally couldn’t resist beating the fish’s ass.
“A nightmare?” Gu Xiuhan eyebrows slightly frowned.
The usual seriousness and concern, causing Ruan Yu immediately deflated half a mouthful of air.
He felt that he was not the material to lose his temper, and he could not bear it if his relatives behaved a little better.
Without waiting for Ruan Yu’s answer, Gu Xiuhan asked again, “How do you feel?”
Ruan Yu’s face was so red that he couldn’t open his mouth to question, and even reflexively answered “better already”, and then reluctantly mumbled for a long time before he started to find fault with Gu Xiuhan, “No nightmares, just uncomfortable sleep…”
Gu Xiuhan patiently asked, “How uncomfortable?”
Ruan Yu tried to feel something, exaggerated and grunted, “I’m sweating, the blanket is damp.”
Mermaids were not as able to sweat as humans, must say, at best, a little dampness, but also felt wet.
“Sit there.” Gu Xiuhan had no objections, raised his jaw, sleeves pulled up to his elbows, and personally changed Ruan Yu’s bedding.
Ruan Yu pulled a small face and obediently sat down over there.
The general acted like a manservant, and Ruan Yu, who has always been a pleasant man, succeeded in spilling some of his anger.
However, at this time, Gu Xiuhan’s side floated another string of heart sounds.
[It smells too good.]
[…]
[The fragrance is cloying.]
The dampness mixed with body fragrance, originally warm in the nest Gu Xiuhan reached out and lifted, hit the nose full of fragrance, eyes were excited, vaguely red.
Then you should not smell it.
Ruan Yu heard the boss was not satisfied, just spilled the anger back into his stomach.
He found that he had not observed carefully, in fact, Gu Xiuhan also loved to blush, especially the ears and neck. But it was not obvious as his skin was covered all year round by an impermeable military uniform.
Those parts were red for a while.
What are you thinking about again?
Ruan Yu alertly perked up his ears and concentrated his mental energy. As expected, he received a few more outrageous scenes. It was like reading all the time.
Ruan Yu, “?”
In fact, you can’t blame Gu Xiuhan for being full of strange waste.
The human mental world was so complex that the subjective consciousness was only the tip of the iceberg exposed to the water.
The subconscious mind lurked beneath the unimaginably deep sea of consciousness, which served as an important part of the spiritual world.
The activities and fantasies of the mind below the surface of the water were buried so deeply that Gu Xiuhan may not even be aware of them subjectively, but they were read by Ruan Yu, whose perceptions were sharp after maturing completely –
The hem of the pajama top was rolled up, revealing creamy, dense and silky white skin.
The shallow depression of the back permeated with tiny droplets of water and was absorbed by the fabric.
On the whole, he was very slender, but his legs and stomach inexplicably fleshy bulging calves rubbed back and forth along the cotton fabric.
…
As if Gu Xiuhan had penetrating eyes, staring through the quilt and seeing the scene inside.
A strange heat different from annoyance leapt from the stomach to the tip of the tongue, and Ruan Yu, who had exhausted his reason in speculation and patience, finally could not stand it and called out with wrinkled brows.
“Gu Xiuhan.”
The rare direct call to his name.
Gu Xiuhan’s hands replacing the bedding paused, like being hit by a sudden premonition, he did not turn around and did not answer.
A few moments later.
“What are you thinking? Can you please stop thinking?”
A soft question.
A tone of confusion and distress.
And a depressing complaint that was desperately restrained but still slipped out of his mouth in the emotional tug of war, “You’re so strange…”
