The next morning, the major general disappeared again.
I don't know if it was because I slept too much yesterday afternoon, or because of other things, Mute tossed and turned in bed last night, and almost didn't sleep all night.
It was the major general who got green eyes yesterday, and this morning he got up listlessly from the bed, and when he was washing up, he saw the two dark circles on his face.
After breakfast, he kept yawning, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, so he could only sit cross-legged on the sofa in a daze.
A round white ball floated up and down in front of him, staring at him with dark triangular eyes, with a small flat mouth, looking extremely sad.
But the young man with an expression of not waking up did not look at it at all. The square pillow that was originally intended to be used as a pillow was embraced by the young man. On the pillow.
He obviously didn't sleep all night, his mind was groggy, and he just couldn't sleep, his mind was in a mess.
For a while, I remembered the man gently brushing my lips, for a while, I remembered the heat from his fingertips when the man held my wrist, and for a while, I remembered the dark blue color of the man who looked deeply at me when the man kissed my wrist. pupils of...
There was a vague thought in his mind, but Mutt couldn't be sure.
One night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. The major general's eyes, words, and behaviors when he looked at him kept flashing in his mind.
When those slender red phoenix eyes stared at him, he felt a feeling of trepidation inexplicably.
It's just... It's like being the prey of a wild beast.
The boy pushed his head hard into the soft pillow, hitting it repeatedly.
The white ball on the side circled around him inexplicably, wondering what the new owner was getting nervous about.
Mute has never been in love, nor has he ever fallen in love with others. Of course, when he was a teenager, he was confessed to by some girls of the same age... But after he got sick, except for the patients in the hospital, he almost never fell in love again. I've seen girls my age.
He is very unfamiliar with this kind of feeling.
However, just because he doesn't know how to like it doesn't mean he has no brains.
Major General Troll's eyes and behavior were too obvious, and almost everyone else could understand.
In the beginning, Mutt was able to excuse himself by saying that it was someone who misunderstood him, but recently, the major general's increasingly intimate behavior towards him made him waver and panicked.
But doesn't the major general like the princess
Just by looking at their faces, you can tell that the two of them are the most suitable couple.
Holding his head, the young man thought very tangled.
So are you still thinking too much? Major General Troll's kindness to himself is actually just fulfilling his duties as his guardian
After all, if the major general regards himself as a younger brother or something... he will naturally make that kind of intimacy, right
Or was it just because he saved his life back then that his attitude towards himself was better than others
After all, the major general has always been very cold, and if he calms down a little, it will give people a feeling of special treatment.
Well... it should be like this... it should be...
Just when the boy was so entangled that his head was about to explode, the white ball in front of him made a beeping sound.
Two rays of light shot out from the triangular eyes of the white ball, projecting a light curtain in front of the young man who raised his head subconsciously.
The man with short fiery red hair grinned at Mutt on the light curtain. He stood on the lawn outside the house and raised his hand to say hello.
[Lord Mutt, do you want to let Major Robin in?]
Because he couldn't speak, Baiqiu Zhinao could only type out this line of words on the light curtain for Mute to read.
As a subordinate of Major General Troll, Robin has the authority to enter the private garden, but he does not have the authority to enter the house. He must obtain the owner's permission to enter the door.
Miu nodded.
"Let him in."
With a beep, the door opened, and the red-haired major walked in. He was still wearing the military uniform with black background and silver stripes, which complemented his tall and burly figure.
During the few seconds when his boots stepped on the door, hundreds of tiny particle robots on the floor of the door have already quickly wrapped around them to clean up the dust on the soles of his boots, so that visitors don't need to stop, just go straight to the door. Stepped into the house.
"Hey, little Mute."
Robin smiled and greeted the boy who was sitting on the sofa and just staring at him.
The corner of the boy's mouth twitched.
"... Your Excellency."
He said that he must know that he has now obtained the Blue Earth Badge of the Association of Ancient Earth Civilizations, and has confirmed his status as an 'SS-level' professor. Although Robin is a major, it is appropriate to use the honorific title for him.
Mute made Robin call him that not to put on airs, but because he was annoyed by Robin's phrase 'little Mute', and wanted to scare Robin off.
However, the red-haired major said that he had no pressure on this kind of reaction, and he immediately changed his words graciously.
"Okay, Your Excellency Little Mute~"
Mute: "..."
Well, this grinning and difficult guy is not afraid of anyone except the major general, so Mutt gave up pestering him.
"If you have something to do with the major general, he is not here now."
"I know, BOSS will come back later, let me come and wait for him first."
Robin said nonchalantly, and then sat down next to Mutt unceremoniously.
"What's the matter, little guy, your complexion is not very good." He said, "Is it because you are not used to the climate on Planet Verna? Well~ After all, this planet is still too dry."
He looked at Mute with a smile and said: "If you are not acclimatized, you should tell us earlier, otherwise you will get sick, and someone will feel distressed. When the air conditioner is turned on, it will be us subordinates who are unlucky."
From the past, Robin liked to tease him about the major general from time to time. At first, Mutt could tell the difference, but later he became numb and didn't bother to say anything. Let Robin tease him, he just pretended he didn't hear anything.
He didn't take it seriously before, but now, when his mind was in a mess, he suddenly felt weird when Robin said that.
Mute thought for a while, then looked sideways at Robin.
He asked: "You should know that I have nothing to do with the major general, why do you always like to talk about this kind of topic?"
"... this..."
The corners of the red-haired man's lips were raised high, and he raised his hand to touch his chin, which still had a little stubble.
He smiled, but said nothing.
"You still think I like your major general?"
The boy continued to ask.
"No, I can see that you are really not interested in my boss."
I used to misunderstand that this little guy fell in love with the BOSS, so he showed his love to the BOSS. After getting along with him for a long time, Robin can see that this little guy really didn't like the one in his family who was cried and shouted by countless people. The BOSS who courts love and contacts.
Really not at all.
Robin was also quite surprised by this, he could actually resist the hormones emitted by his boss, this little guy is not easy. Especially—especially when he was getting along with his boss day and night, and the boss was still teasing him intentionally or unintentionally, this kid was able to hold on and not fall, it was simply mentally determined to compete with the boss.
Thinking of this, Robin suddenly had a little admiration for Mutt, so he stopped teasing Mutt.
He said: "Haha, I know you have nothing to do with BOSS, it's just a joke."
After receiving Robin's answer, the boy didn't seem to be happy, but looked hesitant.
He hesitated for a while before speaking again.
"Then what do you think...the major general...does he..."
Halfway through hesitating, he suddenly shut up again.
"It's nothing." Mute turned back, pursed her lips and said, "Do you want something to drink? I'll let Dada get it."
The red-haired major looked at the boy's troubled face.
"'Does the Major General like you?'… You want to ask that?"
The boy pursed his lips and said nothing, and he didn't turn his head to look at Robin again.
He curled up on the sofa and hugged the pillow in his arms, and his fingers sank into the soft pillow. His light black hair was scattered in front of his eyes, intertwined with his slender eyelashes.
"You want to know?"
Robin looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes.
Mute still didn't say a word, and didn't look at Robin, but pursed his lips tightly, showing a little nervousness.
After a while, he opened his mouth.
"… I have no idea."
He whispered, his voice was very soft, a little uncomfortable.
"I don't quite understand..." he said, "I think I'm thinking too much. Princess Salome is very beautiful, really beautiful. She is very suitable for the major general. I think too much."
Repeating it over and over again, the boy repeated the sentence as if he wanted to strengthen his mind.
"Well, I was thinking too much."
Robin on the side was originally aiming to read a joke, but when he saw that Mutt had come to a conclusion just like this, he suddenly panicked.
Come on, little guy—
If the boss finds out about your thoughts, I will be beaten until I can't get out of the hospital bed for a few days.
Thinking of this, the red-haired major hurried over and wanted to speak, trying to break the child's thoughts back.
"Well, the BOSS is actually..."
But just as he opened his mouth, there was a ding at the door, and the door opened, and the familiar tall figure stepped in.
That pair of red phoenix eyes glanced this way lightly, and then became slightly cold.
At the beginning, Mutt sat cross-legged on the sofa, and Robin also sat on the sofa, but he crossed his legs casually, and raised his right hand casually to rest on the back of the sofa behind him, because sitting next to Mutt, naturally It rests on the backrest behind Mutter.
And Robin, who accidentally played with fire just now, wanted to make amends, so he rushed over to talk to Mutt. Naturally, Erlang put his legs down, and he leaned sideways to Mutt's side, subconsciously grabbing with his left hand. took the pillow in Mute's arms.
However, when he got close to Mute in this way, he didn't let go of his right arm resting on the back of the sofa, and kept the posture of resting on the back of the sofa behind the young man's head.
Therefore, at first glance, his posture at the moment looks like he is half-circling the boy on the sofa.
Major General Troll saw this scene as soon as he entered the room, so his slender eyes narrowed slightly.
As a result, the red-haired major who was glanced at by his boss jumped up from the sofa almost as if his butt was burned.
Stand at attention, hold your head high and keep your eyes straight.
"BOSS!"
He bowed deeply and shouted.
The black-haired major general turned around, without looking this way, and walked straight to the study on the other side.
"come over."
The indifferent voice came, without ups and downs, without any emotion, but it made Robin's heart skip a beat in an instant.
As he hurriedly followed, his eyeballs rolled around.
Well, I have to figure out a way to save myself.
The red-haired major's brain, which he didn't use very much, was spinning rapidly at this moment.
The boss's attention must be diverted... Well, diverted... Little guy, it seems that I can only be sorry for you.
Having said that, that dull little guy was the culprit in the first place.
Going on, the boss's mind is getting narrower and narrower, tsk tsk.
...
……………
In addition to Robin, several people in imperial uniforms came to the door one after another in the afternoon.
Except for Via, Mute didn't know anyone else. If Ishtar was on the scene, even if he didn't know him, he would look familiar, but these people were obviously never seen before.
No matter who, after entering the room and seeing Mute, they will show a surprised expression, and even stare at him for a long time in a daze, until Via next to him coughed lightly before recovering , hurriedly looked away from him, showing an extremely complicated look, and headed towards the study.
Those people looked at him as if they were looking at some rare animal.
I can guess what those people are thinking at the moment, Mute is too lazy to bother with what other people think, anyway, he can't.
He is just a small character. As an interstellar male god, the major general is not afraid of spreading rumors, and he is not afraid of ruining his reputation. What is he afraid of, a small character with no reputation.
Let them go.
The boy who thought so was completely broken.
He sat quietly on the sofa like this, and continued to ask Da Da to play the teaching video for him.
For him now, the most important thing is to absorb the knowledge of this era as soon as possible, and figure out the environment of the world he is in before he can make plans for the next step.
He originally wanted to mention the matter of the earth to the major general, but the major general seems to be very busy during this time, and the bruises are showing now, and he can't talk to the major general about it for a while, so he can only wait and see. When will the major general have time to mention it again
By the time all those people left, it was already evening.
Because Mutt went to the restaurant for dinner, he didn't meet the group of people who left. Even if the jar was broken, he really couldn't bear the strange eyes of those people looking at him.
He sat back on the sofa, not intending to continue to absorb knowledge, his mind had been used all day, and it was time to relax. He intends to ask DaDa to find some entertainment programs for him. In this era, there are interstellar channels, singers, and movies and TV series. On the one hand, he is not advancing but retreating—anyway, from Mutt’s point of view, the culture and entertainment on Earth are much worse than before, so he only occasionally watches for fun.
However, he sat back on the sofa, and before he could find Da Da who didn't know where he was going, the black-haired major general came out of the study.
As soon as Mutt raised his head, the major general happened to look at him, and their eyes met.
Mutt instinctively turned his gaze away and avoided it.
For some reason, as long as he looked at the major general now, he would feel a little awkward for no reason.
He looked left and right to find the figure of Bai Qiu Zhinao, but for some reason, the little white ball that usually followed him every step of the way disappeared at this moment, and he couldn't find it no matter what.
Footsteps sounded, and the black military boots stepped on the floor to make a steady and powerful sound, and the sound came towards him step by step.
The boy could no longer pretend not to notice, he could only look up at the major general.
"Would you like something to eat? Major General."
He smiled as nonchalantly as possible and said to the major general.
However, he wanted to change the subject, but failed. The major general simply ignored his perfunctory question, walked up to him, and stood still.
"You asked Robin about me?"
The slender young major general looked down at him and said, his expression cold.
But that faintly uttered sentence instantly made Mute's face froze.
Major Robin! You betray me!
Howling from the bottom of his heart, the boy was extremely embarrassed under the major general's gaze for a while.
I always felt that the major general looked at him like a pinprick, so Mutt looked away.
He was sitting on the sofa, his legs were separated a little, and his hands were pressed on the sofa between his legs. At this moment, because of tension and embarrassment, he unconsciously clasped the soft sofa cushion with his fingers.
Major General Troll stood in front of the sofa, looking down.
The child lowered his head, revealing the back of his neck. The light black soft hair slid along the tender skin of the back of the neck and slipped into the child's collar, revealing the graceful lines of the back of the neck.
The child was sitting on the sofa, clasping the sofa with his hands, his shoulders were tense, and he seemed a little flustered, looking like he was sitting on pins and needles.
The coldness in the dark blue pupils gradually faded away, leaving a trace of softness.
The major general leaned over.
He bent his knees and squatted halfway, pressing one hand on the ground, and resting his hand on his knee casually.
His upper body was very straight, and he squatted in front of the boy, which happened to be at eye level with the boy.
Major General Troll looked at Mute looking at him with some astonishment, and spoke in a low voice.
"You can ask me directly," he said.
Mut stared blankly at the handsome face in front of him, listening to the deep voice that reached his ears.
He felt that his mind was a little confused.
He felt he had lost his mind.
He felt that his mind was no longer able to think, and he felt that if he continued to struggle in such a mess, he would probably be tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep in the past few nights.
"you… "
There was a roll in his throat, but he still didn't dare to say it directly.
"Ask, are you not angry?"
"Um."
The major general gave a low hum, his blue eyes were still looking at him coldly.
Mute looked at those beautiful blue eyes, and thought in his heart that he might as well have a good time—
Even if it is dead, it is an early death and early rebirth.
With a hesitant heart and gritted teeth, the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time and made him unsteady blurted out.
"Do you—do you like me?"
There was no reply for a long while, only the sound of the two people's breathing resounded softly in the utterly silent air.
The major general didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly with those dark blue pupils, which vaguely seemed to have traces of waves passing by.
If it is said that the boy mustered up all his courage to ask that sentence, then his courage was exhausted little by little in this long death-like silence.
Being watched by the major general, he shrank back in embarrassment, feeling uncomfortable all over.
"I... I'm joking." He whispered, fidgeting, "Well, that, it's fun, I know, Your Excellency Major General, you definitely don't like me... I, that... I'm just kidding, my lord Don't argue with me about the large amount... "
While shrinking back, the young man admitted his mistake in a low voice, blushing, and only felt that his head was really broken to do such a stupid thing.
However, he just shrank back a bit, and the man in front of him moved.
The young major general stretched out his hand and gently held his hand.
The knuckle fingers held his fingers in the palm of his hand, and his fingertips could touch the major general's slightly rough palm because of some thin calluses.
The major general held his hands and looked at him quietly with his blue phoenix eyes.
He looked into his pupils, as if there was the light of stars and seas.
The black-haired major general had a handsome face that could almost be described as breathtaking.
And this handsome face with picturesque brows is always deserted on weekdays, the sharp corners of the eyes, and the indifferent thin lips that are slightly curved into a knife-edge arc make this person look aloof and sharp.
The man was always expressionless, and hardly anyone could see any human emotion on his face.
This person is like a non-human ice sculpture, like the most delicate but lifeless cold mural on the stone wall.
Mutt suddenly opened his eyes wide.
His mind buzzed, and instantly became blank.
Just now, the major general who was holding his hand lightly looked at him, his pale thin lips moved suddenly, and the corners of his lips twitched.
The major general looked at him and smiled slightly.
That smile actually made the boy forget to breathe for a moment.
"Yes."
said the major general.
[Do you like me?]
[Yes.]
