Coming back to this place again, everything is still the same as it was before.
Xu Cenfeng walked up to the second floor and slowly opened the door. The smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated. The heavy curtains on the balcony were half pulled up, and the sunlight rushed out from the remaining gaps, casting a slanting beam of light at the end of the bed, while the remaining corners were greedily swallowed by the shadows.
Phaeth had fallen into a coma, his bloody wrist hanging quietly from the side of the bed. The blood had long since dried up, forming a shocking blood scab.
Female insects in the north are always strong, but he was so weak that he seemed like he would disappear into thin air with a gust of wind. He was completely different from the unruly and prickly appearance in his memory.
Xu Cenfeng was stunned when he saw this. As if he was afraid of disturbing something, he walked to the bedside with light footsteps, slowly squatted down, stared at Phaeth's thin face, and then held the other's injured hand.
It felt cold to the touch, even a little rough from years of holding a gun, with a fishy, sweet smell of blood.
But it is a hundred times more real than a dream.
Xu Cenfeng lowered his head silently, his eyes gradually turned red. He closed his eyes and placed the hand on the side of his face, then clenched it silently. The hot tears flowed into the fingers, leaving a wet mark.
He didn't understand why he was crying.
He only knew that the sour feeling spread from the tip of his nose to his heart, causing a burst of dense tingling pain that could not be suppressed.
Phaeth's shirt buttons were mostly unbuttoned, and his sturdy bronze chest rose and fell in the shadows. He was already pregnant with Xu Cenfeng's blood, and perhaps after a while his body would undergo more obvious changes, more swelling, and more discomfort.
Phaeth's teeth began to tremble due to the stimulation of pheromones. Xu Cenfeng was afraid that he would bite his tongue, so he pried open Phaeth's lips with his fingertips, but was bitten hard the next second. The sharp pain made him gasp and frowned slightly, but he did not make any move to stop it.
The gods and Buddha finally heard his prayers and sent him back.
Xu Cenfeng stroked Phaeth's abdomen through a thin shirt, and the touch felt softer and more elastic. He didn't know if he realized something, but his eyes suddenly became gentle. Then he laid Phaeth flat on the bed, and kissed him all the way down along his lips, finally landing on his abdomen.
"Xu Cenfeng..."
Pheromones filled the air above the room, like a clear spring flowing in a secluded valley deep in the mountains, slowly moistening the dry and cracked soil and bringing long-lost comfort.
Phaeth was dazzled by the overwhelming pheromones. His body seemed to be more sensitive and more eager than before. He unconsciously clenched Xu Cenfeng's shoulders and his breathing became heavier.
Phaeth's mental strength was damaged, and he didn't even notice that a human man was tightly holding his hand. He smelled a familiar pheromone in a trance, and his mental strength, which had just calmed down with great difficulty, suddenly became restless and turbulent again like boiling water.
But the feeling of being marked was too real, so real that he could feel Xu Cenfeng's delicate kiss, every inch of the warmth of his skin, and even the itch of hair brushing against his ears was so obvious.
After Xu Cenfeng jumped off the cliff in the snow, he opened his eyes and found himself back in the deep forest of Solitia. He didn't know the year or the direction, or even whether Phaeth was still alive. He walked for a long, long time like a wandering soul, and finally returned to Horsburg.
"Well… "
Is it Xu Cenfeng
But why did Xu Cenfeng appear here...
Phaeth frowned unconsciously and uttered a painful groan. He only felt the dense stabbing pain in his brain again, as if a sharp knife was stirring inside, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Veins popped out on Phaeth's forehead, and he began to struggle violently on the bed. His voice was hoarse and broken because the pain was so extreme that he even shouted those three words with a bit of false hatred: "Xu Cenfeng..."
He gritted his teeth and tears came out. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or the hatred.
Phaeth had almost forgotten how long it had been since he had dreamed of Xu Cenfeng. The male insect had left cleanly without leaving any trace, and had even refused to appear in his dreams.
Xu Cenfeng was stunned.
Xu Cenfeng realized belatedly that this was Phaeth's mumbling in his sleep. He hugged the female insect tightly from behind, silently emitting pheromones to calm the other's restless mental power, and said in a low voice: "Shh, I'm here."
He must be dreaming...
He was in so much pain that he was unconscious. He curled up in agony and began to whisper the name again: "Xu Cenfeng..."
Phaeth opened his eyes hazily, trying hard to see who was pressing on him, but he could not focus. He could only see the other person's dark hair and fair skin.
Xu Cenfeng had been waiting, waiting for Phaeth to have bitten enough, then he slowly pulled out his fingertips, then leaned over and kissed him, a fishy and sweet rusty taste wafting from their lips and tongues.
And perhaps because of the "dream", Phaeth completely gave up struggling. He wrapped his arms around Xu Cenfeng's neck tightly and kissed him back hard, but with a bit of unfamiliarity and immaturity.
"Xu Cenfeng..."
Some hot, salty liquid fell out of Phaeth's eye sockets. His voice was trembling and he was so hoarse that he couldn't speak for a while. Xu Cenfeng leaned in to listen and only then could he vaguely hear a few scattered words:
"I always… "
"I've been waiting for you to come back..."
Just a few simple words, but they are heart-wrenching.
Xu Cenfeng closed his eyes when he heard this, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he didn't speak for a long time. He hugged Phaeth tightly and kissed away the tears from his eyes: "I'm back, and I'm not leaving."
Never leaving again.
Phaeth murmured, "No, you lied to me..."
He knew that Xu Cenfeng had always wanted to escape, so how could he possibly come back
Little did he know that Xu Cenfeng had been waiting for him to learn to let go. Only when Phaeth learned to let go, could this relationship be free from the word "coercion" that was like a fishbone stuck in his heart.
"Shh, I didn't lie to you. I won't lie to you again."
Xu Cenfeng hugged Phaes' waist tightly and used all his affectionate tactics on him. They had never kissed like this before, nor had they ever hugged each other like this. Phaes became more and more certain that this was a dream.
Don't wake up...
So be it…
Phaeth even wanted to die in his sleep, rather than on a cold battlefield far away. He tightly wrapped his arms around Xu Cenfeng's neck and buried his face in his shoulder. He was so greedy for this embrace that he was unwilling to let go.
Xu Cenfeng took a long time to finish the marking. He lowered his head and gently kissed the insect pattern on the back of Phaeth's neck, whispering, "Be good, let go." He wanted to treat the other person's wound.
Phaeth frowned upon hearing this, and instead of loosening his grip, he tightened it even more.
Xu Cenfeng had no choice but to hold Phaeth in his arms. He maintained that posture, freed one hand to open the drawer of the bedside table, and skillfully found a small medicine box from it, then used some strength to pull Phaeth's hand down, lowered his eyes and treated his wound.
Mental power riots are a lifelong natural enemy for female insects. The higher the level of mental power, the more painful the attack will be, and they will be even more irritable during pregnancy.
There were still many old wounds on Phaes' wrists. He refused to erase the marks left by Xu Cenfeng, so he could only use shackles to fix his limbs every time. New wounds would appear before the old ones healed.
Xu Cenfeng wiped the blood near the wound with sterilized cotton, squeezed a little ointment on it, and then covered it with gauze and waterproof film to prevent it from getting accidentally wet when taking a shower.
After doing all this, he picked up Phaeth from the bed and walked towards the bathroom.
They were both sweating, feeling sticky and ambiguous, and when they soaked in the hot pool together, they finally felt a little relief, and their chaotic brains finally cleared up.
Phaeth opened his eyes with difficulty, and found himself lying in Xu Cenfeng's arms, who was groping for shower gel in the lingering mist, carefully rubbing the foam to help him wash his body.
"… "
Seeing this, Phaeth was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously loosened his hands around Xu Cenfeng's neck, stepped back from the water in shock, and even suspected that he was hallucinating.
How could Xu Cenfeng appear here?! Didn't he disappear from the Solitia jungle a long time ago?!
Xu Cenfeng was kneading the foam seriously when he suddenly noticed that Phaeth was retreating away. He looked up subconsciously, only to see that he was standing on the other side of the bathtub, staring at him in doubt and uncertainty. He slowly stopped what he was doing.
Xu Cenfeng's hand gently fell into the water, white foam floated on the water, and then quickly broke and melted, flowing to the other side.
He appeared before my eyes so vividly and realistically.
Seeing this, Phaeth silently clenched his fingertips, so hard that his joints turned blue. He raised his hand tremblingly and touched the back of his neck. Sure enough, he found that the burning insect pattern had gradually returned to normal. His eyes were red, and he asked through gritted teeth: "Who asked you to come back?!"
He had finally made up his mind to let Xu Cenfeng go, and saw with his own eyes how he used a trick to get rid of him, and then stumbled into the depths of the dense forest under the cover of night, not looking back once, not looking back once...
He wanted freedom, and Phaeth cruelly gave it to him, so why did he suddenly come back
Phaeth's eyes were so red that they seemed to bleed, but what fell were drops of hot tears. He glared at Xu Cenfeng fiercely, as if he was looking at an enemy: "Who asked you to come back?!"
Xu Cenfeng remained silent.
Phaeth stepped back, his face gloomy, but he didn't know who he was chasing away:
"roll!"
"Get out of here!"
He was supposed to be driving Xu Cenfeng away, but in the end, he was the one who turned around and left in a panic. Phaeth staggered and clung to the edge of the bath, trying to leave, but because of his injured limbs, he fell back into the water in a mess.
“Plop!”
Water splashed everywhere.
Phaeth fell into a warm and familiar embrace. The other person wrapped his arms tightly around his waist, pushed him against the edge of the bathtub and gave him a long and deep kiss that almost suffocated him.
"I'm not leaving,"
Xu Cenfeng was always gentle, but when he said this, there was a hint of heartache. He held Phaeth's face, kissed his lips and tongue hard, and pressed against the edge of the bathtub to mark him again.
"Never leaving..."
Phaeth looked at him with red eyes, trying to speak, but the words he uttered were all fragmented. However, Xu Cenfeng was always so calm, and seeing this, he whispered in Phaeth's ear: "Hold me."
Phaeth did not move.
So Xu Cenfeng repeated in a low voice: "Come here and hug me."
Phaeth's fingertips moved slightly, and finally he could not resist the longing in his heart. He clenched his teeth silently, and with red eyes he reached out to hug Xu Cenfeng with such force that he almost broke the other's waist.
Xu Cenfeng smiled, hugged the female insect who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, then slowly sank into the water and gave Phaeth a gentle kiss on her abdomen.
There is their common blood.
Phaeth shuddered for a moment, not knowing how Xu Cenfeng had discovered it. Out of his animal instinct, he subconsciously covered his abdomen to protect this place, but in the end, Xu Cenfeng gently pried his fingertips apart.
"Don't be afraid..."
Xu Cenfeng hugged Phaeth tightly in the water. He habitually held the other's fingertips and brought them to his lips to kiss. Suddenly, he felt empty and something was missing. After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to say, "Phaeth, let's get married in early spring next year."
For the first time in his life, Phaeth felt that real life was even more outrageous than his dreams. He subconsciously looked at Xu Cenfeng, his dark green eyes fixed on him, and finally regained some of his former sharpness. His voice was hoarse and broken: "Why?"
Just because he was pregnant with a bug
Xu Cenfeng said, "I like you."
Phaeth was startled.
However, Xu Cenfeng repeated it seriously: "I like you."
That's all...
