"Si Di."
"Um?"
"Where did you sleep last night?"
"I didn't sleep last night. Together with several other like-minded examiners, I traveled across most of the test area to find the team that ranked first in points and did a big job."
"… "
"But that team is really strong. They were beaten to pieces in the early morning and dropped to fourth place in the standings. Now, after just one day, they are back to first place in the standings."
Xiao Zhenyun felt that this description was somewhat familiar, as if the several companions in the novel who became acquainted with Si Chu through fighting were from this team.
Si Di did not hear the response from the guide behind him. He only felt the black and smooth hair falling from his shoulders and the sound of shallow and regular breathing in his ears, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.
"What about tonight?" Xiao Zhenyun put his hands into Si Di's collar to keep warm. "Are you going to do something big?"
"I'm done with you tonight."
Xiao Zhenyun deliberately misinterpreted his meaning: "Why, do you think I'm holding you back?"
"Last night, in order to ambush those little bastards, seven of us examiners swam five kilometers in the sea and dived for an hour at the bottom of the cliff, including two guides. After they know how cruel and perverted the examiners can be in order to torture them tonight, they will only be more vigilant. Are you sure?"
"…" Xiao Zhenyun didn't have to participate in this kind of fun, so he quickly gave up, "Forget it."
Si Di chuckled: "That's right, Prince Pea should sleep in a soft bed in all the glory, leaving the dirty work to us."
Xiao Zhenyun turned his head noncommittally and deliberately put his lips against the sentry's earlobe, keeping a distance that seemed to be touching but not touching. Then he thought that the wolf ears on his head were much more sensitive than human ears. He straightened his upper body and blew hot air on the white hair in the wolf's ears, lowering his voice and asking: "So... where is the knight going to find a soft big bed for me?"
"Don't tease me." Si Di frowned and shook his ears.
"Who was teasing me in the evening? Don't you know when to stop?" Xiao Zhenyun grabbed the ear that was moving restlessly and rubbed it for a while despite the sentry's objection.
Si Di frowned and said seriously: "I can tease you, but you can't."
"Hmm?" Xiao Zhenyun had never heard such a shameless statement before, "Give me a reason?"
It was completely dark. Si Di's eyes emitted a wolf-like light. He stopped moving forward, reached out a hand from behind, and grabbed a place he shouldn't have touched.
"Just for this."
He tilted his face slightly, his eyes fell on the tip of Xiao Zhenyun's shoes, and said lightly: "Do you want to touch me here?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhenyun chuckled. He was not the innocent boy who would shy away from any related topic. There was a hint of teasing in his eyes, and he asked with a curled lip, "You are not good enough?"
In the darkness, Xiao Zhenyun couldn't see Si Di's expression, he could only hear a slight swallowing sound. The sentry was silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his tone changed slightly, as if he was enduring something: "... If you want to know, just watch it."
Xiao Zhenyun laughed again and whispered something into Si Dilang's ear.
Si Di was a little surprised: "Do you keep your word?"
