Chapter 8: Outrageously well behaved

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Editor: Karai

It may be that the Gu Xiuhan that has been repeatedly forbidden for more than a year has finally revolted.

It took less than half a minute to help Ruan Yu put on his socks, but the warmth and smoothness of those feet and the softness of the tips of the socks remained in Gu Xiuhan’s palms and fingers for the whole day, and nothing could be done to erase them.

The stimulation brought by those touches was so strong that Gu Xiuhan had a dream that night.

The brain instinctively blocked out many details so he didn’t remember the specific scene after he woke up. In the dream, he held Ruan Yu’s delicate ankle in his hand.

Ruan Yu’s ankle looked extremely thin, like the thin skin tightened around the bone, no fat. But when the fingers gently squeeze it, a little soft curvature would dent… It was covered with some soft flesh.

Pinching a little harder, there would be a percolation of powder. He did not remember any more after that, only some inexplicable residual impressions of the beautiful and decadent.

The dream Ruan Yu’s eyes were red, wet eyelashes clumped into a few bundles, lowered eyes did not dare to look at him, a thin voice, choking to let go of him.

The other unbound foot was half lifted, as if to kick him away, but could not be ruthless enough to hurt an important kin, so he let him bully him with a twitch of the nose, with a sobbing whisper calling him a pervert.

Gu Xiuhan sat in the dark, his mouth dry, his heart unbalanced, his hot sweat soaking through his pajamas.

He seemed to have forced Ruan Yu to do something in his dream.

And Ruan Yu’s reaction… It was indeed very much like the reaction he would have when facing Gu Xiuhan.

Gu Xiuhan rarely had this kind of dirty dream, he was always restrained to his bones, he did not even allow himself to think about these things.

He forced his thoughts to turn around, lowered the temperature in the room, and tried to calm his agitation with deep breathing.

However, the fire rolling in the small of his stomach was not relieved for a long time and refused to be suppressed by the master, burning hotter and hotter.

He looked cold and sober as usual, but inside that cool shell, even the internal organs were burning to ashes.

The heat failed to go down for a long time, Gu Xiuhan also had enough sleep, so he simply got up and changed into a set of standard training clothes, intending to go to the training room to consume a surplus of physical energy.

The male servant who had been thinking about Ruan Yu was dismissed after lunch. In fact, he didn’t do anything but have a thought that he shouldn’t have.

But once the thought had been made, and Ruan Yu heard it, he became a security risk that needed to be eliminated.

Because no one could guarantee that they could maintain their sanity in any situation and always do only the right thing. Gu Xiuhan was the seed of action.

Gu Xiuhan thought that by avoiding it from afar, the seed would dry up and die, but the love and thoughts kept watering it, making it more and more nourished, and the seed skin was bulging and glowing, ready to burst out of the ground.

Those who were forbidden, suppressed everything… Sooner or later, they would find their own way out.

Gu Xiuhan tied the belt of his training suit and slowly exhaled.

The differentiation period consumed too much energy, Ruan Yu ate a lot and got hungry fast during this period, waking up with a flat belly that was slightly concave from hunger.

Therefore, recently Ruan Yu was quite active in eating, waiting early at the table, waiting for food with bated breath. The maid in charge of preparing the meal was so compassionate that she hurriedly brought him a few plates of fish and seafood to pad his stomach.

Ruan Yu could chew a dozen times more than others, he ate slowly and methodically for a while, and then he saw Shen Jingya looking at the terminal with one hand on her cheek, frowning slightly, looking a bit embarrassed.

“Ruan Ruan,” Shen Jingya noticed Ruan Yu’s curious and worried eyes and raised his hand to greet her, “Come over and help your Brother Xiuhan take a look.”

Ruan Yu hurriedly stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth and dragged his chair over to Shen Jingya, “What is it?”

Shen Jingya fingertips on the desktop connected to the terminal – in the intelligent furniture era, a smooth surface could be used as a light screen. Several identity cards with standard photos emerged, half male and half female, the common denominator was young, and all good-looking.

“The Authority passed them over a few days ago, all of them are genetic matches that barely meet the standard, at most 50%, but SSS level is not easy to match, and 50% is good…” Shen Jingya picked a few photos and enlarged them so that Ruan Yu could see them clearly, “What type do you think your Brother Xiuhan could like?”

Although the Empire offered freedom of marriage, in order to find the most compatible mate among the hundreds of billions of interstellar population, the Genetic Authority offered some matching programs to citizens of marriageable age, all by choice and for information only.

Gu Xiuhan was only in his early thirties, not too old in the interstellar era when the average life expectancy was 200 years, and Shen Jingya did not love forced marriages as much as the ancient Earthlings. She was concerned about Gu Xiuhan’s emotional problems, but only about Gu Xiuhan being too lonely.

Gu Xiuhan’s mental problems had reversed a lot in the decade after Ruan Yu’s arrival, but his personality was still cold and closed. He had no personal hobbies, he was buried in his daily duties in the military, and in his spare time, he gave himself extra training, like a war machine, and the only people he could talk to were Shen Jingya and his father, Gu Rong. Ruan Yu, whom he always took care of as his brother. . Shen Jingya cannot not help but worry.

“Well…” Ruan Yu’s cheeks puffed out as he chewed slowly on the fish and was asked.

It was not that he did not care about Gu Xiuhan, but Gu Xiuhan in this regard was really an iron tree that did not see signs of blossoming.

The number of people who had the courage to show their love to Gu Xiuhan was already small, and his straightforward and hard response was a model of singleness, never giving anyone a chance.

Ruan Yu suspected that Gu Xiuhan had a mecha sexual fetish.

Of course, one can’t say that.

Ruan Yu hesitantly looked left and right, knowing that it was pointless to do so, Gu Xiuhan could not be interested in these matches, but did not want to see Shen Jingya worried, so he tried to search up his own lack of relationship theory, “Isn’t it said that it is best for two people to fall in love with complementary personalities? Then I think Brother Xiuhan should be suitable for a little more talk, a little more gentle, a little softer temper, so that Brother Xiuhan, who sometimes does not love to talk, the other party will not feel left out.”

Ruan Yu’s small mouth, the more he said, the more he felt justified, and dragged a photo to Shen Jingya, “I think this one is quite good…”

“Good for what?”

A low voice suddenly came from above his head, quenched with ice, the slightest bit of cold air.

Ruan Yu’s legs curled up in fear and he hurriedly tilted his head to look. If his lower limbs were in the form of a fish tail, he would have been balled up into a fish roll by now.

Gu Xiuhan just did physical training, wearing a standard training uniform, sweat soaked through the dark green and grass green mixed half-sleeve shirt, outlining the pectoral muscles. He was hot like a piece of smoldering charcoal, body heat across a few centimeters rushed toward Ruan Yu hotly, but the dark eyes were not warm.

Ruan Yu subconsciously focused his mental energy and observed Gu Xiuhan’s mental body.

Light red.

Slightly sulking.

It’s over.

He only spoke a little and now he was angry.

Brother Xiuhan was really strongly single.

“No, they’re no good. I was just casually…” Ruan Yu’s voice was like a gnat, and he was desperately trying to survive, smashing “X” one after another, turning off all the photos on the light screen in the blink of an eye.

“Don’t be angry with Ruan Ruan.” Shen Jingya patted Gu Xiuhan on the arm twice and said in a warm voice, “I asked him to help me look at it, the little girl Ruan Ruan just picked out happens to be from our research institute. Her mother and I are still quite familiar… I agreed to send you the information if she had no problem with it. If you are not very resistant, in fact, you can find an opportunity to meet even if it’s only to make a friend.”

Gu Xiuhan swept Ruan Yu with a glance.

Ruan Yu was burying his head in the fish, seemingly unconcerned, but in fact even the tips of his ears were tense, afraid that Gu Xiuhan might be angry with him.

The ear fins turned into ears, white and pink, the earlobes were small and full, making people want to…

Holding back the madness?

What are you thinking about when you see this?

Gu Xiuhan rubbed his brow, stopping his thoughts, and said in a lighter voice, “I’m not angry with him.”

Shen Jingya smiled, “I know you can’t let go… What about the meeting?”

Gu Xiuhan lowered his eyes, “I’m leaving in a few days, I don’t have time.”

Ruan Yu sat up straight and stared at him like an enemy.

“Where are you going?” Shen Jingya’s eyebrows slightly wrinkled, “is it what your father said before.. The military department is going to build a military base on the Energy Planet?”

Some time ago, the Ministry of the military surveyed a large number of rare undersea deposits on an ocean planet, which was a necessary raw material for the mecha energy system. After some discussion, the Ministry of the military decided to mine energy while building a large-scale military industrial base near this energy planet… This was not a small matter, but it was really unnecessary to send a general officer of Gu Xiuhan’s rank to supervise it.

“Mn.” Gu Xiuhan nodded, “It was approved and I’ll be gone for three months.”

Shen Jingya lifted her eyebrows lightly, revealing a look of understanding, and said quietly, “We are not pressing for marriage, you do not need to run away like this…”

“Yes,” Ruan Yu tugged at him, “we will never rush you again.”

In fact, he never did, but he just went along with whatever Shen Jingya said, and was full of childishness.

Gu Xiuhan remembered Ruan Yu’s flushed face crying in his dream last night, and felt even more guilty, shaking his head, “It has nothing to do with this.”

Anyway, he was determined to leave.

Gu Xiuhan went to his room to take a shower and change clothes as his training clothes were soaking wet.

Ruan Yu did not even eat, wilfully followed.

After two years on the Frontier Planet and less than two months back home, he wanted to leave again, and from what Auntie Shen said, it wasn’t so big of a deal that he had to go.

“Ruan Ruan,” Gu Xiuhan stood at the door of the bathroom, looking at the little mermaid whose eyebrows and eyes were drooping in unison, “go back to eat.”

Ruan Yu knew he was going to take a shower, so he squeezed into the bathroom, braced his hands against the vanity, and rubbed up against the cupboard to sit, “I’m full.”

He was not good at arguing and was worried that Gu Xiuhan could not hear that he was being weird, so after two seconds of silence, he resisted Gu Xiuhan’s oppressive aura and added in a small voice and threat, “I’m full… Why do you want to leave again so soon? If you don’t explain, you can’t take a shower.”

Gu Xiuhan’s eyes rippled with a smile, “Do not be angry, the work needs to be done.”

Even he didn’t realize how gentle his tone was.

It was impossible to get Gu Xiuhan to change his mind, his life was almost nothing but work, so it was clear how important it was to him.

Ruan Yu slowly turned his brain, after a while, suddenly remembered something, tilted his head with a righteous face and said, “Then I’ll go with you, I heard Auntie Shen say that officers above the rank of major can bring their families when they go out on missions, and there is nothing dangerous about the Energy Star, and I’ll be back in three months just in time to start school…”

Family members?

Ruan Yu’s identity card hung in the military research institute, strictly speaking, only lived with the Gu Family, but could not be considered Gu Xiuhan’s family.

Besides…

Gu Xiuhan recalled a little.

His adjutant, and a few junior officers who were barely familiar with him, all brought their spouses to the station.

When an officer was busy, the spouse would help take care of the officer’s food and living, and in addition, the spouse’s presence in the army helped allow the superior officer to maintain stable family relationships – an element that would be included in the assessment for promotion and reassignment.

“Such family members,” Gu Xiuhan said truthfully, based on his recollection, “did not bring their brothers.”

“Then what do they bring?” Ruan Yu asked.

Gu Xiuhan said calmly, ” A spouse.”

Ruan Yu choked, “… All?”

In order to strike while the iron was hot and let Ruan Yu know what to do, Gu Xiuhan said half-truthfully, “Mn, and the family members need to take care of the officers’ daily life, very hard, not to play.”

Ruan Yu pursed his lips and said reluctantly, “I don’t want to go for fun, I can take care of you, I’m not afraid of hard work. I just want to stay with you. You left for a year last time, and you’re leaving again within a few days…”

Gu Xiuhan couldn’t help but look at him.

After mermaid differentiation, even if completely mature, his physique won’t develop again. But Ruan Yu was still slim, thin-boned, holding the edge of the vanity with his hands and hanging back and forth swaying his white legs, tender like water tofu, wringing a face towel until his palms were red, so this very pampered precious little mermaid…. But he said he wanted to take care of him.

Gu Xiuhan understood Ruan Yu, he could not coax people with his mouth alone, coaxed Gu Xiuhan to take him to the site and began to pout and play.

When he said he would take care of Gu Xiuhan, he would really do his best to take care of him, even if he was a little slow and clumsy.

Really…

How good is it?

The fire in his belly burned up again.

Gu Xiuhan eyelashes lowered, lightly asked a sentence that sounded fine, “What can you take care of?”
