If there’s a place that makes you cry, it’s best to escape from there as quickly as possible.
The leopard didn’t know how long it had been running, but when it stopped, the mansion was no longer in sight. The surroundings were silent, with no buildings to block the wind, which was quite strong. The wind blew Bo Ge’s hair all the way back, forcing him to have a slicked-back hairstyle.
The big cat noticed this and, in a playful manner, extended its tongue to groom its human. As soon as Bo Ge realized what the leopard was about to do, he immediately covered his head, running around trying to avoid the cat’s kind gesture.
Humans couldn’t outrun a leopard. Bo Ge dodged left and right, but still ended up with the leopard’s paw holding him down, and then the licking began.
It’s a natural habit for cats to lick their younger ones. If I lick your fur, you’re under my protection. If you refuse, that means you want to fight with me.
Bo Ge covered his face with both hands, hoping to protect at least a little bit, but when the leopard’s tongue landed, he heard the sound of his shirt tearing, signaling defeat.
The leopard felt something unusual about the fur that was licked off, but it didn’t stop him from continuing. When Bo Ge looked down and saw his undershirt trembling under the leopard’s tongue, he suddenly had an idea.
In the instant before the cat’s tongue descended again, Bo Ge twisted the clothes on his wrist. A brand new outfit appeared on his body.
The big cat paused for a second, observing the suddenly changed human, then continued licking. A layer of fabric disappeared, and Bo Ge twisted the clothes again. Layer after layer, it seemed as though the cat would never finish licking.
After ruining dozens of outfits, the leopard spat out the remaining fabric with a few “puh puh” sounds, staring at the human who had changed layers once more, feeling a bit tired.
“Thank you for bringing me out. I’m feeling better now,” Bo Ge said, seeing the leopard stop, and immediately stood up to stroke its head. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
The leopard, with a final lick, lay next to the boy, shaking its head proudly.
“So, are we sleeping here tonight?” Bo Ge looked around. The desolate area truly lived up to its name—there wasn’t even a ghost in sight.
The leopard’s eyes widened, and it looked at Bo Ge, nodding enthusiastically.
Bo Ge fell into deep thought.
He never expected that after returning from the barren star, he would find himself in another survival scenario in the wilderness.
The leopard seemed to think of something, and quickly ran off. After a short while, it returned, holding dry twigs and dead grass in its mouth. Bo Ge immediately understood what the leopard was up to.
Every time the big cat lost control, it would always build a nest. But this time, it seemed more like a grass mat.
Bo Ge lay on the grass mat, the big leopard looming over the boy, nudging him toward the center with its paw.
“I’ll sleep in the middle. Where will you sleep?” Bo Ge complied with the leopard’s wishes and lay in the center of the mat. The leopard slowly climbed on top of him, pressing down and starting to rub against him.
In that moment, Bo Ge suddenly recalled the cat videos the human tribe elder had shown him.
This leopard…
In the dim night, the black leopard’s eyes glowed with excitement. The grass mat rustled with their movements as Bo Ge clamped his legs together, trying his best to stay silent. Whenever the leopard paused, Bo Ge would hurriedly adjust his clothes and change his pants.
A black leopard in heat could mate with its partner up to ten times a day. Bo Ge lost count of how many times he changed pants until the leopard finally stopped, collapsing on top of him like a spent cat.
Bo Ge quietly pushed the leopard to the side, lying back on the grass mat to stare at the night sky. The leopard lay beside him, licking its mate affectionately, one paw resting on Bo Ge’s body, its whiskers twitching in satisfaction.
“You despicable leopard.” Bo Ge turned to glare at it coldly. “So this was why you brought me out here instead of going back!”
The leopard blinked innocently, its sleek fur glowing under the blue moonlight.
Despite being despicable, it was undeniably foolish—luckily so.
If it were even slightly smarter, Bo Ge feared his chastity wouldn’t have survived the night.
“Sleep.” Bo Ge covered the leopard’s eyes with one hand, opting not to change his last pair of pants. “Let’s see how you face me in the morning.”
The leopard obediently closed its eyes. Bo Ge stared at it for a long time before leaning in to plant a light kiss on its face.
When the first rays of sunlight touched the grasslands, the man lying bare on the mat slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the boy sleeping soundly beside him.
Bo Ge’s clothes were in disarray, with visible scuff marks. The inner thighs of his pants were tattered, and there were white stains in several places.
Last night… something intense must have happened.
Lei Beishuang surveyed his surroundings, noting the desolate wilderness filled with his scent. He didn’t need much imagination to piece together what had occurred.
He glanced at his bare wrist, confirming that his clothing’s fasteners had vanished again.
Hearing some movement, Bo Ge squinted cautiously, watching Lei Beishuang lost in thought, and suppressed his urge to laugh.
“You’re awake,” Lei Beishuang murmured, leaning down to kiss Bo Ge’s lips.
“Carry me back,” Bo Ge demanded, holding out his arms.
“Alright,” Lei Beishuang agreed without hesitation. Rising, he turned to gather something nearby.
Bo Ge’s gaze drifted to the man’s firm, lean backside, a mischievous smile spreading across his face.
He wanted to slap it.
Being a man of action, Bo Ge slowly reached toward his target as Lei Beishuang bent down to pluck some grass.
Before he could make his move, Lei Beishuang’s calm voice cut through the silence.
“How are those hundred practice problems coming along?”
Bo Ge froze, his hand suspended mid-air.
“After this month, your credits should meet the standard. Have you decided which school to attend?” Lei Beishuang turned, holding a bundle of broad plant leaves.
“I… I want to go to the First Military Academy,” Bo Ge replied hastily, pulling his hand back.
“Good.” Lei Beishuang nodded, guiding Bo Ge to sit on the mat as he began weaving the leaves into a grass skirt in front of him.
“Aren’t you going to ask me why?” Bo Ge couldn’t resist asking. From this angle, Lei Beishuang’s posture left little to the imagination.
“I don’t know why you want to go to the First Military Academy,” Lei Beishuang said without looking up. “But I do know one thing.”
“What’s that?” Bo Ge tilted his head curiously.
“If you keep staring, what happened last night might happen again.”
His calm tone made Bo Ge quickly look away, his face heating up.
“Not everything needs a reason,” Lei Beishuang continued, his grass-scented fingers adjusting Bo Ge’s collar. “Just like how I like you—there’s no reason.”
Bo Ge’s cheeks grew even redder.
“At the Alliance’s celebration, I want to announce our relationship,” Lei Beishuang said firmly, his eyes unwavering.
“Really?” Bo Ge couldn’t hide his surprise but grew increasingly anxious as he thought about it.
“I’ve read The Life of the First Lady. All the historical First Ladies were extraordinary. What if I… fall short? What if people think I’m unworthy of the position?”
“You’re still young. I believe your future potential is limitless,” Lei Beishuang said, his steady gaze calming Bo Ge’s nerves.
“There’s something I need to apologize for,” Bo Ge murmured, avoiding Lei Beishuang’s eyes.
“The spy sent by the zerg?” Lei Beishuang asked.
Bo Ge blinked in confusion. “What does that have to do with anything?”
“Apparently not,” Lei Beishuang said calmly. “Other than that, there’s nothing you need to apologize for.”
“I… almost got you killed,” Bo Ge admitted through gritted teeth.
“I don’t believe you’d intentionally harm me,” Lei Beishuang replied without a hint of surprise.
“Some accidents are beyond your control. There’s no need for guilt or apologies.”
Bo Ge fell silent, feeling like Lei Beishuang had anticipated everything. Before he could explain, he was already forgiven.
“I might be the primary consciousness,” Bo Ge finally confessed, taking a deep breath.
The grass in Lei Beishuang’s hands paused momentarily before he resumed weaving. His voice remained steady.
“Prove it to me.”
“I can’t prove it here. I only recalled some information yesterday and didn’t want to hide it from you,” Bo Ge explained, though the weight on his chest didn’t lift.
“If I’m not mistaken, I left the Second World eighteen years ago. As Bo Ge, I’ve been living with my adoptive father, Mr. Wyman.
I didn’t intentionally miss celebrating your inauguration, nor did I ignore you on purpose. It’s not because I hold any prejudice against you or dislike you. It’s simply because I left. I gained a physical body.”
Lei Beishuang remained silent, his hands paused mid-motion. Bo Ge sat across from him, feeling as though he were about to face judgment.
“When you got trapped in the swamp before, it was because I wanted to draw you. I didn’t draw well, so I blacked it out, but I didn’t expect that action to put you in danger.” Bo Ge lowered his head. “At the time, I didn’t know I could control the singularity. Can you forgive me?”
“Have all your memories returned?” Lei Beishuang asked calmly, meeting the boy’s gaze.
“I’ve remembered all of my human memories, but only a small portion of my memories as the primary consciousness.” Bo Ge gestured with his hands. “Maybe just a few years’ worth.”
For a brief moment, Lei Beishuang’s gaze carried something indescribable that Bo Ge couldn’t quite place. It seemed like he had realized something, though he chose not to say it.
“What did you figure out?” Bo Ge asked, puzzled.
“When all your memories return, you’ll understand,” Lei Beishuang replied with a faint, enigmatic smile.
“This matter—please don’t tell anyone else but me.” Lei Beishuang lowered his head and resumed weaving the grass skirt. “Those who need to know will find out in due time.”
“Then… do you still want to announce our relationship?” Bo Ge asked nervously.
“Why wouldn’t I?” Lei Beishuang raised his hand to pinch Bo Ge’s cheek. “You’re my human now. In this entire universe, I’m the only one with the right to tell others that you’re my mate.”
“Done.”
Bo Ge watched as Lei Beishuang donned the grass skirt, covering the essential areas, and then stretched out his arms to lift Bo Ge securely into his embrace.
“Anything else you need to confess?” Lei Beishuang asked, holding the boy tightly as he began walking home step by step.
“Actually… nothing happened last night,” Bo Ge admitted shyly. “You just licked through dozens of my shirts and wore through over ten pairs of my pants.”
Lei Beishuang lowered his head. “Were you scared?”
“Scared?” Bo Ge shook his head. “I know you were just trying to get close to me.”
“That’s something 80% of the Alliance can’t even achieve,” Lei Beishuang said with a smile. “You’ve already done wonderfully. Coupled with your adorable face, no one could ever compare to you.”
This leopard sure knows how to sweet-talk.
Blushing, Bo Ge covered his face. Suddenly, his communicator chimed. He opened it in front of Lei Beishuang, revealing a friend request from an unfamiliar ID.
“Hello, I’m Luo Qi. Since you participated in the Alliance Celebration’s Popular Figure Contest and earned a high ranking, the event organizers have invited us to take part in an activity together. I hope we can communicate in advance.”
“Who’s Luo Qi?” Lei Beishuang raised an eyebrow.
“This person,” Bo Ge said as he opened the projection sent by Hai Tu. An exceptionally beautiful elf appeared in front of Lei Beishuang.
Lei Beishuang stared coldly at the projection. For no particular reason, he disliked the elf at first sight.
“Can I go?” Bo Ge asked expectantly, looking at the big leopard.
