Dr. Su, who absolutely refused to work overtime, was indeed very busy.
Busy buying groceries, busy cooking, busy going home to see the person he was longing for and didn't want out of his sight.
And of course, busy doing something he had never done since birth, but had recently discovered and become unusually addicted to…
At this moment, Wen Bai was full and comfortable, patting his slightly bulging stomach as he lay on the bed.
Su Ying walked over, and Wen Bai had become increasingly accustomed to it, not refusing his approach.
It was just that he found Su Ying becoming more and more clingy lately, to the point where he even suspected if Su Ying had been replaced by a host from another system.
After confirmation from System 001 and careful discernment of the dishes Su Ying made, the taste was still as amazing as ever, which finally put his mind at ease.
Recently, System 001 rarely appeared at night, telling him it needed to go into hibernation.
At this moment, Su Ying had just finished showering and walked over, a dark gleam in his eyes.
Wearing a bathrope-style pajama, Su Ying naturally drew closer and closer, then lay down beside Wen Bai.
Wen Bai was looking at his phone, having just received a message.
Before he could even open it, the phone was snatched from his hand.
Wen Bai looked confused, turned his head, and seeing the expression on Su Ying's face and the approaching distance, he simply leaned in obediently.
But before he could get closer, he was pinned down.
…
After the kiss.
Su Ying propped himself up with his arm, leaning over.
Directly above Wen Bai, he was still a little unsatisfied.
He particularly liked this俯视 (fǔshì) perspective.
From this angle, he could see every expression on Wen Bai's face clearly.
His eyes misted over from held-back passion, his delicate and handsome nose, his lips, now more moist from the kiss, and his glistening…
Su Ying's palm gently touched Wen Bai's ear.
He was incredibly grateful for the decision he made to bring Wen Bai back when he met him and got close to him.
An uncontrollable, burning breath, met by a feeling of weakness and uncontrollability.
Their noses touched.
Wen Bai felt Su Ying's forehead against his, their noses nuzzling, and the burning palm slowly moving on his waist.
An indescribable sensation made his spine tingle all the way down to his tailbone, followed by a slight numbness in his scalp.
Then, a feeling of something not quite right began to emerge.
Just as he was about to speak, opening his mouth to say, "I…"
Before he could utter a complete sentence, the rest of his words were swallowed.
"Do you like it?" Su Ying asked.
Wen Bai felt his vision blur again, though he was lucid. He could hear what Su Ying was saying, but for some reason, he didn't even have the strength to reply.
"I like it very much."
Su Ying spoke to himself, enveloping Wen Bai. He propped himself up with one arm, then with a strong pull of his right arm, he turned, and their positions were swapped.
Su Ying leaned against the headboard.
At this moment, Wen Bai's pajama collar was open, revealing a ghastly wound.
Su Ying looked at the scars on Wen Bai's body and caressed them with his finger, "You can't get hurt anymore."
Then, with restraint, he pulled the collar of Wen Bai's pajamas closed and straightened it.
…
Wen Bai felt very thirsty, a little panicked, and extremely thirsty. This feeling was utterly unfamiliar.
Now, he could finally speak, lying on Su Ying's chest, being held.
Wen Bai shifted, feeling this sleeping position was rather strange when he was awake.
He mumbled, "I want to drink water."
"I'll get you some water," Su Ying said, releasing his grip and preparing to get up.
Wen Bai shook his head, "I'll get it myself."
Then, without waiting for Su Ying to respond, he pushed Su Ying's hand away and jumped out of bed, shuffling in his slippers as he ran off.
After gulping down a glass of warm water, Wen Bai didn't return to the room.
He was standing in the downstairs bathroom, head bowed.
His expressionless face showed a slight crack.
"How could this happen."
System 001, which had been in hibernation, sensed the call and appeared. Before it could even figure out what was happening, it saw that its host's vision was blurred by a patch of white.
System 001 never expected that even though it had lost all its permissions and was wanted, the system's automatic censorship function was still active…
Thinking about the intimate interactions between the host and Su Ying during this period.
It was shocked. Had Su Ying brought him to this point without taking responsibility for the aftermath?!
Su Ying was such a Su Ying!
Instantly, it began to see Su Ying through tinted glasses.
Looking at its pitiful host, who seemed to have no common sense in this area.
Recalling the host's file, which it had only glanced at once and could never access again, the host seemed to be an orphan?
Well, it was normal to lack common sense.
Its sympathy immediately overflowed. On one hand, it was extremely dissatisfied with Su Ying.
But some things were beyond the ability of systems like them to teach the host, even though its theoretical knowledge was exceptionally rich.
It tentatively spoke a long string of words.
And as expected, it then heard its host ask, confused, "What are you talking about?"
This was because Wen Bai heard System 001 reciting the "Great Compassion Mantra" for about a minute…
To prevent various systems from exploiting hosts for points without limits, and due to the system world's crackdown on certain behaviors, systems were forbidden from saying specific words to hosts.
Even related terms were prohibited. As soon as such words were spoken or subtly hinted at, they would be randomly replaced, making it impossible for the host to hear them.
System 001 sighed and offered a bad idea: "Take a cold shower, that should do it."
Wen Bai followed the advice, and it did seem to help.
However, the next day, Wen Bai developed a slight fever…
As soon as he woke up early in the morning, Su Ying sensed something was wrong with the person in his arms.
He felt Wen Bai's forehead.
Then, he took out his phone and called the hospital, taking a day off.
There were always medicines at home. He went downstairs, retrieved the medicine box, took out the corresponding medicine, and returned upstairs.
Wen Bai groggily opened his eyes and saw a slightly enlarged face before him.
His pupils dilated for a moment, and when he tried to distance himself, he found he couldn't.
He lacked the strength.
"You have a fever. You're awake now, so come and take your medicine." Su Ying helped him sit up and brought the medicine to Wen Bai's lips.
Previously, whenever Su Ying offered medicine, Wen Bai would always take it exactly as he was given.
But today, he was a little resistant.
His resistance had a reason.
Being so close to Su Ying now, he couldn't help but recall the strange dreams he had last night.
In the dream, vaguely, he and Su Ying continued what they hadn't finished last night.
He didn't know the specifics, as the dream was a blur of white, but Wen Bai had a very peculiar feeling.
When he woke up this morning, he discovered something extremely embarrassing…
Wen Bai, who usually had no expression, showed a hint of helplessness to Su Ying today, a rare sight.
Su Ying didn't understand at first, but he indulged him.
With that pitiful little face, the patient was king.
He carefully propped Wen Bai against the headboard and let him pick up the medicine himself and eat it.
As Su Ying went downstairs, he casually picked up a thermometer, intending to take Wen Bai's temperature.
But Wen Bai refused.
He just took the medicine and sipped the water from the cup.
And then.
"You… go out," he heard Wen Bai say.
Su Ying paused, then smiled and said, "Okay, then measure your temperature yourself. I'll check on you later."
Su Ying closed the door and walked outside. He remembered the empty water cup Wen Bai had finished and turned back to retrieve it, planning to refill it with water.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw someone lifting the covers and staring blankly at a spot inside the duvet.
