When Han Yan was hugged by Jia Yin, his body froze for a moment. He tried to break free with an ugly look on his face, but was held tighter by the female insect. Jia Yin grabbed Han Yan's right hand and put it on his disabled right leg. Because of the excessive force, his fingertips turned blue and white: "Your injury is different from mine."
Jia Yin used to hate others touching his injured leg, but now he allowed Han Yan to touch it, and even forced him to touch it. With red eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "See, you won't be lame."
Gain didn't know why Han Yan reacted so strongly to his injured leg. In the final analysis, he could only think that his usual limping appearance scared the male insect, and the other party was worried that he would become a cripple like him.
Gain suddenly found it difficult to breathe, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat. It was not only because of Han Yan's injury, but also because he found that Han Yan hated the word "cripple" extremely, and he himself was a cripple. The feeling of powerlessness he had felt back then once again swept over his body, but he was unable to change the status quo.
Han Yan seemed to feel something hot liquid falling into the back of his neck. He subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but his fingertips touched Gain's broken leg, which was so similar to him, and yet so different.
Han Yan's right leg is deformed at the knee due to muscle atrophy. It is thinner and weaker than Gain's...
When he was a child, he hated that leg so much that he hit it with stones and cut it with knives. It was covered with dense scars, which never completely disappeared until the moment of his death.
He thought he had forgotten it long ago, but it turns out that some things can never be forgotten, even if one changes one's body.
Han Yan suddenly became quiet.
Gain's eyelashes trembled for a moment.
Han Yan thought, Gain was crying.
Han Yan's fingertips tightened instantly.
You hate cripples, don't you
Yes, it's annoying...
Han Yan had stitches on his calf. Perhaps because of the passage of time and the disappearance of the anesthetic effect, he finally felt a bit of numbness and pain and unconsciously adjusted his posture.
His action did not have any meaning, as if he just wanted to show it to the female insect. After a moment, he separated again and put the ring, which was still warm, back on.
What does it matter if others dislike it? As long as you like it, you should hold it tightly in your hands. This is Gain.
Female insects don't always want to divorce.
The two of them changed their positions quietly. Han Yan had hugged Jia Yin into his arms without knowing when, and then he held him tightly. He was like a stingy businessman protecting his last remaining property, and his possessiveness was no less than that of the other party.
He finally said with red eyes: "I'm sorry, I failed to protect you and caused you harm..."
Gain's body froze for a moment.
"I don't hate you."
Han Yan's fingertips trembled for a moment when he heard this, and for some reason, the strength slowly dissipated. He stared at Gain expressionlessly, but saw that tears seemed to fall from the corners of his eyes. His fingertips moved uncontrollably and gently wiped away the tears for the female insect.
After noticing his movements, Gain instinctively wanted to stand up, but when he glanced at him inadvertently, his body froze—
He had been sitting on Han Yan's right leg.
Han Yan silently pinched Gain's chin, forcing him to look directly at him. The man's gray-blue eyes were like the coldest piece of ice under the deep sea of the glacier, without any temperature. He asked in a low voice without any emotion: "Why are you crying?"
There is no such rule in Sallyland Law, nor in the royal family.
Han Yan said nothing, but just reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Gain's eyes, then pressed his forehead against his and gave him one warm and wet kiss after another, finally kissing his trembling lips.
Gain was startled when he heard that, and subconsciously looked at Han Yan, only to see that the other's gray-blue eyes had turned orange-gold because of the setting sun, and under that warm light, something sharp and cold had quietly melted a corner, but because it was too obscure, it could not be seen.
Han Yan didn't allow Jia Yin to escape from him.
Han Yan spoke in a low voice, still concentrating on kissing Gain deeply, just like a wild animal in the jungle licking its wounds. He gently stroked the female insect's injured leg, as if he wanted to remember this incompleteness, remember it more firmly than his own, and it took a long time before he finally stopped.
He had never spoken harsh words to the female insect in front of him, nor had he pinched her chin so roughly, but today was an exception.
For a moment, they both touched the sunlight. Although it was not the rising sun, it was precious enough for those who were curled up in the shadows.
"Shh, don't cry."
So Han Yan asked again. He lacked everything in his life, but the thing he lacked the most was patience: "Why?"
Their hearts were not bright, as if if they developed feelings for someone one day, those feelings would also be dark and could not be seen in the light. But apart from the crippled leg that could not be shown to others, God should have given them something that could be seen in the light of day.
Gain dodged for a moment, but Han Yan did not let the female insect get her wish. He skillfully pried open the other's tightly closed teeth, just like countless nights of passionate love before. When they were extremely intimate, even their souls trembled.
Gain closed his eyes in pain and refused to answer.
He suddenly didn't want Han Yan to touch his leg because he sensed the other party's disgust, disgust towards a cripple.
Han Yan sat on the floor with his back against the bed, holding Jia Yin in his arms. He happened to be facing the window. The sun was setting outside, and the warm light came in, filling the whole room with orange.
Jia Yin's fingertips trembled. Hearing this, he silently clenched his right leg. With an unknown feeling, he uttered this sentence hoarsely: "You hate cripples, don't you?"
Gain was forced to respond, but in a trance he felt Han Yan's hand lifting up his trouser leg, and his fingertips moved up along the hideous scar, stroking it carefully, trying to smooth something.
He felt the wetness on the back of his neck and looked up at Gain, only to find that he had been crying.
Han Yan stroked Gain's fingertips and gently took off the silver ring, along with his own. He slowly put the two broken rings together in front of Gain, and finally they became a flawless ring.
Han Yan remembered what Gain had just said.
Han Yan knew Gain. He could see the possessiveness of the female insect in her daily life, as well as the morbid infatuation that occasionally flashed in her eyes. The words he just said were really not something she could say.
Why
Because of my leg or his leg
Because of this realization, the air froze for a moment, and it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Gain continued, "Perhaps you shouldn't have been my partner in the first place, a partner of a bug that you hate so much."
Han Yan lowered his eyes to look at the female insect in his arms. He didn't know if she was tired, as she seemed very quiet at the moment. Han Yan raised his hand and touched the slightly red corners of Gain's eyes. He was silent for a moment, and finally uttered a sentence:
Gain's face turned pale, and he uttered a word with difficulty: "No..."
Jia Yin's heart tightened and he subconsciously looked at Han Yan, only to find that he was also looking at him.
As the light and shadows moved, the man's eyes turned gray-blue again. He stared at Gain without saying a word, his slender fingertips slowly turning the silver wedding ring, his eyes quiet and silent.
He never pushed Gain away from beginning to end.
"… "
The ward darkened and the sun finally set.
Across the corridor, Johnny was in another ward, but the door was closed and had never been opened.
There were clothes scattered all over the smooth floor, most of which were from the female insects. There was a bulge on the bed, and the sound of whispering could be heard faintly.
Although Johnny's hand was injured, it did not affect him from doing other things. He pressed Prince Bape under him, ignoring his embarrassed and flushed face, and lay contentedly on his neck, rubbing it gently, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You haven't come to see me for a long time."
Prince Bape seemed to want to push him away, but when he saw the gauze wrapped around Johnny's arm, he had to give up the idea and scolded him in a low voice: "Nonsense, you are injured now, why are you still so unruly."
He had originally intended to come and check on Johnny's injuries, but he didn't expect that this male insect was still as unstable as before. He secretly released pheromones and rolled onto the bed in a daze.
Johnny thought of the fierce battle just now and blinked: "But you obviously missed me too."
Prince Pape frowned and retorted: "That's because you released pheromones."
Johnny gestured with his hand and said, "I only released a little bit, it didn't exceed the safety line." The implication was that it was you who couldn't control yourself.
Prince Pape choked when he heard this, but seeing Johnny's aggrieved face, he couldn't bear to blame him. He sighed and touched the scratches on the man's face, frowning unconsciously: "How could an accident happen out of nowhere? Do you know who did it?"
Johnny was a little lazy at first, but he instantly became energetic when he talked about this. He immediately exaggerated his previous guess and finally said with absolute certainty: "It must be those stinky people in the Durant family. Who else would be so boring except them!"
Prince Bape thought that this was not necessarily the case. Han Yan had been on a roll recently and had offended many rivals in the business world. However, there was no doubt that the Durant family was the most suspicious.
Prince Bape ruffled Johnny's hair, looking thoughtful: "During this period of time, you should stay in the hospital and recover from your injuries. Don't worry about anything else, understand?"
Johnny glanced at him, then looked away. For some reason, he didn't say anything. After a moment, he asked gloomily, "Will you be my partner?"
This was obviously not the first time Johnny asked such a question. Prince Bape was stunned for a moment, then he returned to normal and said with a smile: "Are you stupid? I'm old enough to be your uncle. What would people think if this got out?"
Gossip is not pleasant to hear after all.
Johnny said "oh", whether intentionally or unintentionally, and asked curiously: "My eldest brother said a few days ago that he would marry me a female monarch, so do you think I should agree or not?"
Prince Pape froze upon hearing this and suddenly fell silent.
At first, he just treated Johnny as a beloved junior, but since that night, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be inseparable. It was impossible to break it off or separate them, which gave Chong a headache.
Johnny is still young and his mind is unstable. If she says she wants to marry him now, she may regret it later when she hears the gossip outside. How will the two of them deal with it then
Prince Pape is old, so he inevitably thinks more. He sat up from the bed, picked up his clothes and put them on. He didn't know how to answer this question, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
But Johnny leaned forward and asked again: "Do you think I should marry her or not?"
Prince Bape asked back: "Then do you want to marry?"
Johnny blinked and looked innocent: "I don't want to marry her, but if my elder brother and the others force me to marry her, I can't help it."
He added: "My elder brother is very fierce."
Prince Bape said nothing, but tucked him in, and said in an unclear mood: "Rest first, we can talk about this matter after you recover from your injury."
He needed a few days to think about how to deal with his relationship with Johnny.
Should I let go? I probably can’t, but if I really want to hold on, there are too many factors to consider.
For a period of time afterwards, Han Yan and Johnny were recuperating in the hospital. During this time, the military officer in charge of investigating the case came once and asked in detail about everything that happened on the day of the incident, and revealed some information subtly during the conversation.
"After inspection by the technical department, it was found that the aircraft you were riding on the day of the incident had been jammed by insects, which caused it to deviate from its original route and head toward the suburbs. The identity files of the two female insects were blank in the database. It is initially speculated that they were interstellar pirates on the loose. They attacked you for no reason, and it is very likely that they were instructed by someone."
Han Yan had been sitting on the hospital bed, listening quietly until he heard the last sentence, then he finally looked up at the military chief in front of him: "So have you found out who it is?"
Major Kane explained, "The injured female insect was finally saved after rescue efforts. This morning, she was sent to the military headquarters for interrogation. The mastermind behind the incident should be identified soon. We will notify you immediately if we have any news."
He did not say that the bug in charge of the interrogation was Gain. After all, the scene was too bloody and it was not convenient to disclose it.
Han Yan habitually raised his hand to adjust his glasses, but suddenly realized that his glasses were broken, so he withdrew his hand and politely thanked him: "Thank you for your trouble."
"You should. I wish you a speedy recovery. If you need any help, please feel free to contact us."
Being able to be alone with a handsome male insect was undoubtedly a good thing, but when Major Kane thought of the companion of the gentleman in front of him, he gave up his little thoughts and turned to leave the ward.
When Major Kane passed through the corridor, he happened to see a familiar figure. He stepped forward and saluted: "Major General Gain."
As soon as Gain came out of the military headquarters, he immediately rushed back to the hospital. When he saw Major Kane appearing here, he frowned slightly: "Hasn't the record been made? Why are you here?"
Major Kane hesitated and said, "Report to the Major General, I am here today to process the discharge procedures for the suspect. It just so happens that His Excellency Ashya wants to know the progress of the case, so I..."
Gain seemed to understand something, and said calmly: "He needs to recover from his injuries. If you have any problems in the future, please contact me directly and don't disturb him again."
Major Kane could only respond awkwardly.
Gain then limped towards the ward. When he entered, Han Yan was operating the terminal with his eyes lowered, seemingly busy with work. When he heard the footsteps, he subconsciously raised his head.
Jia Yin walked forward, gently lifted the quilt and checked Han Yan's injured leg. After the stitches were removed, only a light pink scar remained. It should heal soon. He whispered, "The doctor said you can be discharged today."
Han Yan hummed, then reached out and patted the seat next to him. After Gain sat down, he asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Gain did not hide it from him: "Interrogation room."
He had a white shirt under his military uniform, with bloodstains dotted around the collar, but you couldn't notice them unless you looked closely.
Han Yan raised his hand and touched his collar. The bloodstain was still fresh. He asked without any emotion, "Are you hurt?"
Only then did Gain realize that there was blood on his clothes. He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and explained, "It's not my blood."
That's another insect.
Han Yan didn't ask any more questions. He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, preparing to change clothes and go through the discharge procedures. After a period of recuperation, although he still had some inconvenience in his right leg when walking, it was not very noticeable.
Only Gain remained the same as before.
It seemed as if that leg was always weighed down by a heavy shackle that could never be removed in this lifetime.
He limped to pack his luggage, then found some clean clothes to change into, and limped to Han Yan, wanting to help the male insect change into them. However, the next second, he was unexpectedly pulled into Han Yan's arms and sat down.
Jia Yin looked at Han Yan in surprise: "Master?"
Han Yan just felt that this posture was a bit glaring and uncomfortable to watch.
He put his arm around Gain's waist, raised his hand and touched the red mole under his eye, then slowly moved down along his delicate cheek, and finally lowered his eyes and kissed him.
Gain's eyelashes trembled for a moment, realizing what the male insect wanted to do. Finally, he closed his eyes and gently kissed Han Yan back.
They kissed deeply and slowly, but hugged each other tightly and forcefully, as if they wanted to embed each other into their bones and blood. Just like the two incomplete rings, they must be combined into one to be perfect.
Han Yan closed his eyes and rubbed Jia Yin's injured leg. As his fingertips moved on the skin, a complete tendon map slowly emerged in his mind. Folang Village has been practicing ancient martial arts for generations, so their medical skills are naturally not bad. There are many ancient acupuncture books in the tower that have been preserved for many years, but they are incomplete and incoherent to read.
In order to cure his leg, Han Yan read the ancient medical books hundreds of times, but found it was futile, so he threw them back.
But Gain's leg was injured because of tendons and veins injured on the battlefield, which is fundamentally different from his congenital disability. Those ancient books are useless to Han Yan, but that doesn't mean they are useless to Gain.
But after so many years, he might not be able to remember it completely.
When the kiss paused, the temperature in the air quietly rose a little, like honey, ambiguous enough to be pulled into threads.
Han Yan didn't know what he was thinking. He raised his hand and touched the back of Gain's neck. The golden insect pattern was burning hot, as if silently revealing that he hadn't watered this female insect for a long time.
Gain's eyes were red, and he went limp after a little teasing. He lay in the male insect's arms with disordered breathing, trying to calm the surging heat in his body, but a cold and low voice rang in his ears: "I'll feed you when we get back."
Han Yan always says the most blushing and heart-pounding words in a serious and calm tone.
Gain paused when he heard that. His face felt inexplicably hot, and even his red eyes became misty, revealing a sense of wateriness and magnificence.
Han Yan kissed his eyes, still with that nonchalant attitude, but only he knew whether he put any thought into it this time.
Johnny had packed his luggage and was ready to leave the hospital, but he waited and waited but Han Yan and Jia Yin didn’t come out. He had no choice but to carry his luggage on his shoulders and went straight to their ward. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw Han Yan and Jia Yin hugging each other. He was so scared that he froze on the spot: "You...???"
