"You are... building a nest for migratory birds?" Xiao Zhenyun suddenly felt that the three walls of photos in his basement were exactly the same as the 'normal behavior' that a sentinel would take when he was craving for guide element but couldn't get it.
Yes, what Si Di is doing now is normal behavior written in the textbook of special forces. During the period of emotional disorder caused by the hypersensitivity of the five senses, the sentinels will look for all items with the scent of the favorite guide and pile them around them, which can effectively calm the irritable emotions.
But this situation usually only occurs in the combined sentinels, because after the combination, the soothing effect of other guides' spiritual power on them will be greatly reduced. The only one who can give the combined sentinels the greatest sense of comfort and stability is their guide. Without the corresponding guide element and spiritual power, they will surround themselves with objects with the smell of the guide, like Si Di, imagining that they have the company of the guide.
As for uncombined Sentinels, they can go to the guild or hospital, or even the White Tower, and find guides willing to give them guidance and even mental care. It is the nature of guides to comfort Sentinels, and it is engraved in their genes. It is difficult for a guide to refuse the help of a Sentinel in an emotional disorder.
So Si Di did this today not because he was in so much pain that he would go insane without the Guidance Essence. He was just feeling a little uncomfortable and was looking for an excuse to do something ambiguous and flirt with Xiao Zhenyun.
Otherwise, given his bad temper when he was still seriously ill and dared to threaten the vice-president of the union with a gun, why would he lie on the bed and whimper and act like a spoiled child when he was in so much pain? He would definitely fly over in a fighter jet and give a big kiss to his guide who had a 97-match degree.
But I have to say, Xiao Zhenyun benefited a lot from it.
"This is the treasure guarded by the evil dragon." Si Di chuckled, and placed Xiao Zhenyun's neatly folded shirt next to the pillow, and sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that I couldn't find the ones you wore. Those are better, but Xiao Nian washed them all."
He said with some confusion: "Why is it Xiao Nian who does all the housework in your family? You are such an incompetent father."
"To be honest, all the housework in my house is done by the intelligent robot housekeeper." Xiao Zhenyun said, "Besides putting clothes into the washing machine and putting the dried clothes back into the closet, what else did Xiao Nian do? The robot arm even folded the clothes."
Si Di: “…”
"I've been too good to him. I should have him wash dishes and mop the floor more often, so that he can know what it feels like to live under someone else's roof and understand how terrifying human hearts can be." Xiao Zhenyun made a classic bully declaration, showing his extremely low personal moral character.
The key point is that Si Di actually listened to such remarks made by his stepmother, and smiled with his eyes curved while lying in Xiao Zhenyun's pile of clothes. The only thing missing was a comment: You are so bad, I love you so much.
The two chatted about nothing and anything for an hour. During the chat, Xiao Zhenyun had his long hair blow-dried and was forced to have a hair massage with essential oils, which was unique to the hotel's robotic arms, to moisturize his thick black hair from all directions.
Sooner or later I will have to cut off this troublesome black hair, Xiao Zhenyun's disgust was evident in his eyes. Si Di seemed to see his thoughts and immediately said: "You look good with long hair."
"Does my short hair look bad?"
Si Di: “…”
Xiao Zhenyun was just teasing him for fun. He looked up and found that Si Di's silver hair had grown a lot longer than when they first met. He imagined what he would look like with long hair, but couldn't think of anything. "Have you ever grown long hair?"
