However, Yun Xunlan was currently in a half-blind state, so even if Yu Chen was burning up all over, he might not be able to see it.
He was only concerned about Yu Chen’s answer now—if Yu Chen couldn’t come to the hospital tomorrow to help him complete the daily task, the system would continue to go crazy.
So Yun Xunlan waited for a few seconds, and when he didn’t hear Yu Chen express agreement or refusal, he asked again: “Yu Chen, is it okay?”
—The “Is it okay?” sentence pattern indeed came out.
Yu Chen had no choice but to agree: “It’s okay.”
Coming to the hospital tomorrow was already his intention. Even if Yun Xunlan hadn’t brought it up, he would have found a way to make it happen. How could he refuse?
However, out of the three responses “It’s okay”, “I’m willing”, and “I like you too”, he had already said the first two. When would he be able to say the last one, “I like you too”?
Today was obviously not the right time.
Although Yu Chen wanted to spend more time with Yun Xunlan, he didn’t know exactly what was wrong with Yun Xunlan’s body or how his recovery was going. Afraid of disturbing the youth’s rest, he prepared to leave and come back tomorrow.
But at the door, Yun Xunlan suddenly called his name: “Yu Chen.”
Yu Chen immediately stopped and turned around to see Yun Xunlan also looking back at him.
The intense midday sun shone through the glass window, enveloping the silver-haired alpha in light. Every strand of his hair, every inch of his skin was bathed in brilliant radiance. He also smiled brightly and gently at Yu Chen: “It’s so good to have met you.”
It was a smile blooming in the light, yet Yu Chen inexplicably felt a hint of sadness from the youth.
He was stunned for a moment, then told Yun Xunlan: “Me too.”
The silver-haired youth waved lightly: “See you tomorrow.”
“…See you tomorrow.”
Yu Chen closed the door and left Yun Xunlan’s hospital room.
Then he faced several pairs of eyes that were like radar, scanning him up and down, left and right, almost wishing they could emit X-rays to examine him inside and out.
“It’s a miracle,” Ni Chun gave him a thumbs up. “Major Yu Chen, you are the only person the Third Highness has willingly agreed to see while sick in his eighteen years of life.”
Yu Chen felt uncomfortable being praised like this.
With Ni Chun’s comparison, Yun Xunguang’s words seemed quite ordinary: “Major Yu Chen, Lanlan never sees anyone when he’s sick, you’re the only exception. So, would you mind chatting with me about what Lanlan said to you? Of course, this is your personal privacy. If you feel my request is offensive, you can refuse, and I apologize for my rudeness.”
Yun Xunguang’s ability to maintain her position as the Crown Princess of the Galactic Empire was not only due to her strong political abilities and shrewd tactics, but also because she was always able to humble herself and interact with others without the arrogance typical of those in high positions.
Moreover, as a sister concerned about her brother, her behavior was understandable. Yu Chen could understand and didn’t feel her words were offensive.
But the problem was that Yun Xunlan wanted to see him because he liked him.
They were both alphas, and Yu Chen wasn’t sure if Yun Xunguang could accept the romantic relationship that was about to develop between him and Yun Xunlan. The most crucial point was: could he repeat those words he and Yun Xunlan had said—especially that “oath”—in front of the prince’s own sister, the Crown Princess?
So for safety, Yu Chen only chose to say some things that could be made public: “Crown Princess, the Third Highness probably wanted to see me because I’ve been helping him take care of his pet fish recently. He wanted to know about the little fish’s recent condition.”
Yun Xunguang glanced at his empty hands and asked: “Where’s the fish then?”
Yu Chen said: “I’ll bring it tomorrow.”
Yun Xunguang raised an eyebrow: “So you’re coming to see Lanlan again tomorrow, right?”
“Yes,” Yu Chen lowered his eyes and nodded. “The Third Highness wants to see his fish.”
“Oh… he wants to see his ‘fish’.”
Yun Xunguang looked at him meaningfully for a while, then walked away with her hands behind her back.
Ni Chun also came forward: “Major Yu Chen, the Third Highness asked me to send you back.”
“No need,” Yu Chen politely declined. “I have other things to do. I’ll go by myself.”
He hadn’t planned to take this leave originally, but since he was out already, Yu Chen decided to take this opportunity to visit his private apartment to get something important, and also to buy another lychee rose ice cream from Elianxia Sweets.
This time, he definitely wouldn’t choose to swallow it whole, biting off the little rose’s head in one bite.
He would carefully lick it, savor it meticulously, melting the 18-star lychee rose on his tongue with his own body temperature—perhaps in the near future, it wouldn’t just be ice cream he could melt, and it wouldn’t just be ice cream he could lick and savor.
Yu Chen took out what he wanted to bring from the bedside drawer and put it in a small blue gift box, which he tucked into his pocket.
Before leaving, he also went to the garage to take a look at his former beloved possessions.
Yu Chen only looked at the other former beloved possessions from afar, just to feast his eyes, but there was one former beloved he touched—the Comet-S7.
Yu Chen slowly ran his palm over the Comet-S7’s smooth, beautiful black body, praising it: “Baby, you’re still very beautiful.”
“It’s not your fault, it’s just that the pervert called ‘Novice Fish Keeper’ had dirty, filthy thoughts and defiled you.”
Yu Chen bid them farewell: “Goodbye.”
From now on, he would only have Yun Xunlan as his wife.
His relationship with these hot former beloveds was ultimately just for fun; he was serious about Yun Xunlan.
Yu Chen went downstairs and scanned a shared motorcycle by the roadside to go to Elianxia Sweets, wanting to buy ice cream with the same scent as his wife’s pheromones for a treat. However, after visiting five stores in a row, all five were sold out. When he finally found stock at the sixth store, after queuing for ten minutes, the store staff announced some bad news: this store’s lychee rose ice cream was also sold out.
As soon as this news came out, cries of disappointment arose from the queuing crowd.
“How is it sold out again?” A man with golden side-parted curly hair complained to the red-haired alpha beside him, “What should we do, Brother Xi? We’ve been to all the Elianxia Sweets in this area, and none of them have stock.”
When he heard the voice, Yu Chen thought it sounded like Gui Yan, and the “Brother Xi” at the end confirmed his guess—they were Gui Yan and Fu Yanxi!
……
Damn, these two really came to buy ice cream?
Fu Yanxi had dyed his hair back, while Gui Yan had changed to a new hair color, which is why Yu Chen didn’t recognize them at first.
Now that he recognized them, how could Yu Chen let them eat ice cream?
He walked over with a cold smile and said in a chilly voice: “What to do? Will you die if you don’t eat it? If you can’t buy it, then don’t eat it.”
“Yu Chen?” Gui Yan and Fu Yanxi turned their heads together, “You came to buy lychee rose ice cream? Ha, you can’t buy it either, so don’t eat it.”
Yu Chen’s blue eyes turned green, his gaze dark, as he sneered: “I don’t need to buy it, they’re all fakes.”
No matter how delicious the ice cream is, it’s just a substitute. He had the “main course” all to himself, so what did it matter if he couldn’t buy it?
Fu Yanxi couldn’t stand Yu Chen’s behavior of showing off after seeing the Third Highness. He pulled Gui Yan and said: “Ignore him, he’s just being stubborn again.”
“I’m not being stubborn, my mouth is soft, my mouth is greedy, I want to eat it, I’m going crazy wanting it,” Gui Yan stared at the ice cream in the hand of a child passing by, drooling so much it was almost coming out of his eyes. He asked Fu Yanxi, “Brother Xi, do you think if I hug this kid’s legs and beg him to let me lick his ice cream once, he would agree?”
Fortunately, Fu Yanxi still had some sense: “That’s too embarrassing, don’t ask. If you want to ask, find an adult.”
After saying this, he really did stride towards an adult omega male.
The omega had handsome features, round almond eyes, and was chubby and cute. When he saw a handsome alpha like Fu Yanxi walking towards him, he got a bit nervous, his cheeks reddening slightly, thinking he was going to hit on him. But unexpectedly, Fu Yanxi opened his mouth and said: “Hello, sir, may I ask if I can buy your ice cream for ten times the price?”
“What?!” The omega’s expression immediately changed when he heard this, looking at Fu Yanxi as if he were a homewrecker, his gaze full of hostility, “This is my husband! Even if you offer ten thousand times the price, I won’t sell it to you!”
Fu Yanxi: “…”
Yu Chen: “…”
The omega left, clutching his ice cream, while Fu Yanxi’s words were overheard by nearby people. The next second, afraid that he might try to buy or snatch their ice cream, people quickly moved away from the three of them as if avoiding a flood or fierce beast.
Seeing this, Yu Chen’s face grew even darker and more unpleasant.
Gui Yan sighed with a worried frown: “Why is it so hard to buy that ice cream?”
Yu Chen gave up on buying ice cream, and he wasn’t in the mood to buy any other cakes or pastries from Elianxia Sweets either. He left without a word, planning to return to the camp dormitory to write a letter to the Galactic Empire Royal Image Public Relations Department, reporting this ice cream for being borderline inappropriate!
However, as soon as he opened his light brain, Pei Xingting’s bombardment of messages popped up—
[Pei Xingting: Holy crap! You went to see the Third Highness?!]
[Pei Xingting: You really met????]
[Pei Xingting: Old Yu, say something quick! Let me know I’m not dreaming!!!]
…
Pei Xingting used a lot of exclamation marks to express his shock, with many more messages following. Yu Chen couldn’t be bothered to read them all and just replied to Pei Xingting with two words: [Hehe.]
Just as he sent this sarcastic reply, Pei Xingting’s call came in.
Yu Chen answered: “What is it?”
“Good brother, I’m impressed! You’re truly a top-tier alpha, even your seduction skills are first-class,” Pei Xingting lavished praise on Yu Chen. “Now I really believe the Third Highness likes you.”
Yu Chen said: “You should have believed me when I told you we slept together.”
“No, no, no, sleeping together doesn’t count for much, after all, you didn’t do anything. Even if you did, it could just be a purely physical relationship,” Pei Xingting had experienced liking someone before, he knew some people only follow their physical desires, not their hearts. “But the Third Highness being willing to let you into his hospital room, the significance of this is beyond your imagination. You’ve become famous among my colleagues.”
Hearing this, Yu Chen raised his eyes to look at the fish tank on the table.
The blue betta fish inside was still showing its backside to him, but its head was floating at the water’s surface, looking up at the nearly mature lychee rose in the adjacent water glass.
Yu Chen walked over, hugged the pink rose in front of the blue betta fish, angering it to the point of frantically puffing its gills and flicking its tail. Only then did he leisurely reply to Pei Xingting: “Is it that exaggerated? Actually, we haven’t confirmed our romantic relationship yet.”
Pei Xingting asked him: “So does that mean you’ve made up your mind to accept the Third Highness’s feelings for you?”
“Yes,” Yu Chen decided to confess to Yun Xunlan tomorrow, accepting the Third Prince’s sincere love for him.
—It was love, not just liking.
Yu Chen was certain.
Yun Xunlan wanted to see him every day, felt uncomfortable if he didn’t hear him speak for a day, his existence was so special to Yun Xunlan. If this didn’t count as love, Yu Chen didn’t know what else could be called love in this world.
Pei Xingting also sincerely wished Yu Chen well: “If you two can really be together, it would be a good thing for the Third Highness too.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll let you know when we confirm our relationship. Just wait for the notification.”
Yu Chen hung up the phone and went to write a report to the Galactic Empire Royal Image Public Relations Department. After finishing the report, he took out the blue gift box he had brought from his apartment today, took a photo of it, then logged into his starnet account and posted a new status to record his upcoming, pure and beautiful first love:
[Blue: Tomorrow, I’m going to do the most important thing in my life. After I’m done, I’ll change my name too. It’s a celebration, and also a mark. [Picture]]
Celebrating getting together with Yun Xunlan.
Also marking that while he was exclusively possessing Yun Xunlan, he was also being possessed by Yun Xunlan—the new name would be a mark of possession.
After posting the status, Yu Chen went to take a shower.
Before showering, he kindly returned the rose to the blue betta fish for it to worship, otherwise he was afraid the fish might get sick from anger, which would be hard to explain to Yun Xunlan tomorrow.
Before sleeping, Yu Chen lay in bed and looked at his starnet account again. He found that several colleagues had liked his post and left comments wishing him success—
[Ms. You: Wish you success.]
[Grab you to make Juwei chicken necks: Wish Brother Yu success!]
[My brother is an idiot: Although I don’t know what it is, I wish you success!]
[My brother is the smartest×: I also wish you success.]
……
[My brother is an idiot replying to My brother is the smartest×: What does that “×” after your name mean? Delete it quickly!]
…
These people’s comments were all normal, and Yu Chen enjoyed reading them. But when it came to Fu Yanxi and Gui Yan, the style suddenly changed—
[Forever protecting the Third Highness (Elianxia Sweets lychee rose ice cream scalper, please contact me): Did you contact a scalper to buy ice cream?]
[Longan planted by the Third Highness (Buying Elianxia Sweets lychee rose ice cream at high prices): Share one with me to eat, please I’m begging you!]
Yu Chen: “…”
Damn, why did these two people’s names become so long?
Yu Chen didn’t like reading them and directly skipped over the two, looking at the third person whose name was somewhat familiar yet strange, and had also become very long—
[Fish Raising Master (but future good brother proxy version): Wish you success. I also have a very important thing to do tomorrow. If I can succeed, I’ll change my name to celebrate too. Hope I can succeed =w=]
…Fish Raising Master?
Damn, isn’t this that pervert called “Novice Fish Keeper”?
Now he’s even using emoticons? Looks even more sarcastic.
Yu Chen immediately saw through his new disguise and replied very maliciously: [Blue: Oh, then I wish you failure. smile.jpg]
[Fish Raising Master (but future good brother proxy version): T△T Wuwu…]
Yun Xunlan sent this crying pitiful emoticon with genuine feeling.
His eyesight hadn’t recovered yet, but as soon as he heard the light brain notify him that Yu Chen had posted a new status, even though Yun Xunlan couldn’t see it, he had the light brain read it out loud to him. Then he painstakingly used voice-to-text to send a blessing comment to Yu Chen.
But Yu Chen wished him failure!
Yun Xunlan complained to the now normal system: “Yu Chen is really fierce online. Even learning how to use emoticons from Wenxi to show goodwill didn’t work. Will I be successful tomorrow when I’m honest with Yu Chen about hoping we can become sworn brothers of different surnames?”
“Of course you’ll succeed, definitely,” the system comforted him. “Yu Chen is fierce to you online because he has two faces, one online and one in reality. He’s very good to you in reality, isn’t he? Look, has he ever refused any of your requests?”
Yun Xunlan recalled the day’s events and felt the system’s words made some sense.
After all, in reality, Yu Chen’s attitude towards him could be described as “granting every request”.
There was just one point where Yun Xunlan felt Yu Chen wasn’t much different online and in reality: “Yu Chen seems a bit fierce in reality too.”
—He even pulled at his clothes.
Fortunately, he didn’t pull them open, otherwise how would they still look like brothers? They would have looked more like gay men.
“But he’s quite easy to coax,” Yun Xunlan pondered. “At least not as difficult as online.”
The system then asked him: “If he’s easy to coax, what are you worried about? Listen to me, tomorrow when Yu Chen comes, coax him first. Say whatever sounds nice to him, make him happy, and he won’t refuse you. But you need to be careful about one thing.”
Yun Xunlan humbly asked: “What should I be careful about?”
The system pointed out: “The degree.”
“You can’t appear too eager and enthusiastic, nor can you appear too cold and distant,” the system spoke like a wise strategist with a feather fan. “The former might make Yu Chen suspect that your desire to be good brothers isn’t sincere, but has an ulterior motive; the latter might make Yu Chen think you’re naturally cold-hearted and unwilling to open up to him.”
Yun Xunlan took every word of the system to heart: “I’ve learned a lot.”
The next morning, to show his sincerity, Yun Xunlan specially changed into a light blue double-breasted shirt with button knots. He didn’t wear sunglasses, feeling they weren’t solemn enough, but without them he couldn’t bear the sunlight from outside. So he drew the curtains, turned on a dimmer warm light in the room, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
At the same time, he also asked Ni Chun to prepare a bottle of wine for him, because they needed to drink and swear an oath to the heavens when becoming sworn brothers.
Ni Chun not only prepared the wine and glass cups, but also thoughtfully placed a bouquet of lychee roses on the round table used for temporarily holding the wine in the hospital room.
“I smell the fragrance of lychee roses. Are there flowers in the room?” Yun Xunlan was still half-blind today, unable to see things clearly. After changing clothes in the bathroom, he sniffed and asked confusedly, “Or is the window not closed properly? Is the fragrance coming from outside?”
The system said: “Don’t ask me, I don’t have eyes.”
Guided by the light brain’s voice, Yun Xunlan fumbled his way to the table edge. He could now see clearly that there was indeed a bouquet of flowers on the table, but at this moment his attention was completely drawn to another thing – the wine and wine glasses Ni Chun had prepared for him.
“…Red wine?”
Yun Xunlan picked up the wine bottle with a puzzled expression, then picked up the clear crystal stem glass and asked: “This kind of glass… is it suitable for becoming sworn brothers?”
