In the small, dark space, Gugu couldn’t even turn around. He could only look up at the man who had locked him in here, using the faint white indicator light.
“You tricked me!” Bo Ge raised his head, able to see the man’s smooth jawline and prominent Adam’s apple.
Before Gugu could react, he saw the man quickly take off his coat and cover his head with it. The next moment, Bo Ge was lifted by the waist. The space was too cramped, and in the sudden sensation of weightlessness, Gugu panicked, grabbing the man’s shoulders and wrapping his legs around the man’s waist. The man’s large hands naturally moved downwards, one hand supporting the boy’s buttocks and the other wrapping around Gugu’s waist.
The coat covering Bo Ge’s head shifted slightly, and Gugu saw Lie Beishuang’s handsome young face also under the coat.
“What are you doing?” Gugu tried to glare, attempting to show a “I’m very fierce, don’t mess with me” aura.
Lie Beishuang couldn’t help but smile as he stared at the snarling, puffed-up boy.
Gugu was momentarily dazed.
When the man smiled, his golden-red eyes seemed to be filled with sunlight. His serious features instantly brightened, not particularly stunning, but exuding a warmth that made one feel comfortable, like the relief and joy after completing a difficult task and seeing the clouds part.
“You…you smile so annoyingly.”
Even though the smile was attractive, Gugu couldn’t bring himself to praise it.
“I’m very sorry for making you so upset.” Lie Beishuang’s eyes half-closed as he leaned forward to nuzzle Gugu’s forehead, just like a big cat would.
“I wanted to explain, but you blocked me.” The man’s voice was soft, as if he was afraid of startling a small animal, filled with great patience and kindness.
Feeling guilty about blocking him while drunk, Gugu lowered his head and touched his nose.
“I sent you a message explaining my mating cycle, with signatures from the medical team responsible for my health and the test data. All this information is confidential.”
Bo Ge remembered the message he received after drinking milk beer at the milk bar. It did include documents, but they were full of various data. He was too drunk to understand them and ended up deleting them.
“I didn’t understand it,” Gugu said confidently.
“Although it’s difficult to talk about, to clear up our misunderstanding, I must tell you.” Lie Beishuang lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Gugu’s.
“Because I’ve been on medication for a long time to suppress it, my mating cycle has become irregular. Now, whenever I see you, I go into heat. But if you comfort me, I’ll return to normal after a while.”
After saying this, Gugu noticed the man looked somewhat awkward, his ears and neck turning a bit red.
Seeing Gugu… makes him go into heat?
This was too bizarre. Gugu looked down at himself. No perky butt, no long legs, not even a hint of muscle. He didn’t have any of the sexy attributes of a man, so how could seeing him trigger that reaction?
“If you don’t believe me, you can try it,” Lie Beishuang said calmly.
“How do I try?” Gugu stared into the man’s golden-red eyes, his own eyes full of curiosity. “How should I comfort you?”
The man smiled again, this time with a different, more nuanced expression.
The black coat covered both their heads, the nearby indicator light being the only source of light. In the dim, ambiguous environment, it was easy to hear each other’s heartbeat.
Bo Ge saw Lie Beishuang gently lick his lips, like a feline preparing to eat. The next moment, Gugu felt a light peck on his lips.
It was so brief that Gugu barely registered it, a quick, soft touch that left his lips tingling.
Gugu stared at the man in a daze, instinctively licking his lips.
Then the man leaned down and kissed him gently again.
One kiss after another, Gugu was left bewildered. The kisses weren’t just on his lips; they landed like dragonfly touches on his forehead, cheeks, the corners of his eyes, earlobes, and even his neck and the exposed part of his collarbone.
Feeling ticklish from the kisses, Bo Ge tried to push the man’s shoulders, but Lie Beishuang caught his hand, kissing from his fingertips to his wrist. At the center of his wrist, his tongue lightly swept across.
The sensation was electrifying. Gugu’s heart raced, the tickling at his wrist seeming to seep into his bones. Bo Ge wanted to shiver, but instead, he uncontrollably trembled.
“Smells so good.”
Gugu’s back was pressed against the metal wall, his neck caressed by the lingering big cat. The red in his eyes seemed to slowly overpower the sunlight, gradually pulling his rationality down from the walls.
The boy’s slender, fair neck, with a slightly protruding Adam’s apple, resembled the delicate pink beak of a fledgling. Beneath the tender skin, the carotid artery pulsed vigorously, like a lively, optimistic young creature, full of energy and tireless.
A light bite on his Adam’s apple sent an electric jolt through Bo Ge’s body, a sudden heat rising inexplicably, rushing straight to his head.
“You can’t bite there…”
Bo Ge heard his own voice, soft and syrupy.
“Why not?”
Lie Beishuang’s voice was low and husky, with a magnetic allure that was irresistibly seductive.
The big cat’s voice made Gugu’s legs instinctively tighten around the man’s waist. An inexplicable restlessness, unable to be released, caused the boy’s mind to become increasingly muddled.
Why?
Why couldn’t Lie Beishuang bite his Adam’s apple?
Clearly, this man knew everything but still asked so brazenly.
The boy swallowed dryly, moving his hands from Lie Beishuang’s shoulders to wrap around his neck, and lowered his head to lightly suck on the man’s Adam’s apple, his tongue giving a slight lick.
Lie Beishuang’s body instantly stiffened. Before Gugu could react, he was met with an overwhelming pressure and a barrage of kisses.
Pressed against the metal wall, Bo Ge tilted his head back, awkwardly responding to the man’s kisses. The black coat that had been covering their heads slipped off, and though it was still dark, it felt brighter. The wanton kisses left Gugu’s breathing in disarray, his heart pounding so hard it seemed like it would jump out of his chest and land right in front of Lie Beishuang.
In the spaceship’s command cabin, three people watched the vast starry sky through the large porthole. Soon, they grew tired of the view. Amber glanced at the time, frowning slightly. “Little Gugu’s been gone for over ten minutes. Why hasn’t he come back yet?”
“Yeah, and that red indicator isn’t flashing anymore,” the ginger cat said, anxiously swishing its tail. “Do you think they might have started fighting because of what happened earlier?”
“No way,” Fange Zongji immediately stood up from his seat. “He’s a beastman, how could he bully a human like us?”
“Isn’t it because he gave you the mechanical exoskeleton?” the ginger cat meowed softly.
“You don’t understand,” Fange Zongji said, looking at the ginger cat. “With great power comes great responsibility. Now that I have the mechanical exoskeleton, I must take on more dangerous tasks. Like a warrior with a dragon-slaying sword, I have to go fight the dragon. Would you really want Gugu to wear just a mechanical exoskeleton and expose himself to the dangers of a new planet?”
“If Gugu wants to go out, what then?” the ginger cat meowed loudly at Fange Zongji. “Don’t underestimate Gugu, he’s stronger than you!”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Fange Zongji rolled his eyes at the ginger cat. “It’s not like I’ve never lost before! Being strong is one thing, but who faces the danger is another. Even if I’m not as strong as Gugu, I still want to protect him.
“Can’t you see? Gugu isn’t mad because I got the mechanical exoskeleton. He’s mad because that Lie family beastman scared you!”
The ginger cat was stunned by Fange Zongji’s words, its tail twitching dumbly.
“Quiet, all of you,” Amber said, raising her hand. “We’re a team now. Any disagreements should be resolved after the mission. You all wait here while I go find Gugu and that Lie family beastman.”
As she disengaged the safety device and stood up to head to the hatch, Amber saw the Lie family beastman walking over with a downcast Gugu.
“Little Gugu?” Amber crouched down, her eyes filled with concern. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“Amber sister, I…I’m fine.” The boy lifted his head. His lips were so red they looked like they might bleed, his cheeks and ears were a deep red, and his hair was a bit messy. Amber noticed Gugu’s shirt was wrinkled in the back, as if he’d been pressed against a wall.
“Hmm?” Amber looked at the man, noticing a small, red wound on his lip and even more wrinkles on his shirt.
It seemed like Gugu had come out slightly ahead?
“Were you two climbing through the ducts?” Fange Zongji turned and saw the disheveled state of both of them.
“Uh, yeah.” Gugu’s face was so hot it could fry an egg.
What was it like to be kissed against a wall until your lips swelled? If Gugu hadn’t bitten Lie Beishuang’s lip in the end, this big cat might have kissed him until his skin peeled off!
This world actually has such a miraculous creature, the Woodpecker Cat!
The ginger cat looked up and saw the wound on the man’s lip.
As soon as Gugu sat back down, the ginger cat excitedly jumped into the air, landing on Gugu’s chest like a martial arts move from above.
“Ugh.” Gugu was forced to cough from the impact.
“Thank you, Gugu.” The ginger cat nuzzled affectionately against Gugu’s chin, then glanced cautiously at the man who had sat back down, maintaining a meticulous appearance.
“Gugu, you didn’t have to avenge me,” the ginger cat whispered in Gugu’s ear. “It’s normal for beastmen to use their presence to intimidate, but I’ll always remember how you stood up to that leopard for me.”
“Uh…” Bo Ge looked at the ginger cat, clutching its chest, unsure of what to say.
“Gugu, quickly tell me,” the ginger cat couldn’t hide its excitement. “How did you manage to injure that leopard? I saw his lips were bleeding!”
Well…
Bo Ge sneaked a glance at the man’s profile and, to appease the ginger cat, swung a punch in the air, whispering, “It was just a left hook like this, and his lips got busted.”
“Wow!” The ginger cat looked at Gugu with stars in its eyes, standing up and swinging its furry paw, trying to mimic Gugu’s left hook.
Feeling guilty, Gugu glanced at the man again and noticed a slight smile on the big cat’s lips.
It seemed he had heard everything.
Gugu and Lie Beishuang returned just in time. Three minutes later, the spaceship successfully launched an orbiter towards NGC7331. Once the progress bar was complete, the orbiter transmitted high-resolution scan results of the planet.
Based on the scan results, the five quickly analyzed various data about the planet NGC7331. The terrain was complex, featuring deserts, gobis, basins with craters, and young, flat plains. The planet had stable liquid water, covering only 27% of its surface, and even polar caps composed of water and ice. Preliminary judgment suggested the presence of life, but it was still uncertain at which stage these life forms had evolved.
【Congratulations to the players for completing the “Orbit” stage. Next, please proceed to the second phase, “Landing”.
In this phase, players need to achieve:
1. The spaceship’s damage level must not exceed 18%.
2. Understand and adapt to the “blackout” zone.
3. Successfully land within the safety zone without any casualties.】
After reading the mission requirements, the ginger cat looked puzzled, “What’s a blackout zone?”
