ICAWZ Chapter 43

ARC 1: Night

Although Yusto didn’t quite understand Lu Yuan’s interest in watching adult videos, he felt that if it could enhance their relationship, watching together wouldn’t hurt. For this reason, he even went online to find many resources, intending to spend a beautiful and unforgettable night with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan, upon hearing this, was directly stunned: “A-Adult videos?”

On Earth, couples either watch romantic movies or horror films on dates. Why did Yusto want to watch adult films with him? Was the Zerg customs so peculiar??

Yusto used his fingertips to scratch Lu Yuan’s throat and poked his chest, asking in confusion, “Don’t you like watching it?”

Only then did Lu Yuan recall the first time he visited here as a guest when he jokingly scared Yusto by inviting him to watch adult videos together. Unexpectedly, Yusto still remembered it till now. “…”

Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, experiencing for the first time what it felt like to shoot oneself in the foot. Irritated, he said, “I told you I’m gay. Why don’t you bring a male zerg over for me instead?”

Upon hearing this, Yusto’s expression turned strangely as he glanced down at where Lu Yuan was seated, then quickly averted his gaze. His eyes drifted uncertainly as he said, “I feel… I feel like you’re probably not gay.”

During those days in the hospital when they shared a bed, Lu Yuan clearly had a reaction to him. How could that be like someone who’s gay?

“But I’m not a pervert either.”

Lu Yuan wished he could pry open Yusto’s head to see what was going on inside. He gave Yusto’s waist a not-too-light not-too-heavy pat and urged, “Go take a shower, don’t think about all sorts of messy things.”

Yusto sighed in disappointment, reluctantly climbed off Lu Yuan, but his mind couldn’t help but start wandering again, thinking of many unspeakable things:

For example, why did Lu Yuan urge him to take a shower? Was he planning something for later? But if he had something in mind, why wait until today?

But what if Lu Yuan did want to do something today?

Yusto, in the process of taking off his military uniform, found the question quite perplexing. His gaze inadvertently drifted towards the living room, where Lu Yuan was lying on the sofa, engrossed in a terminal, not even bothering to look in his direction. This sudden indifference angered him.

Lu Yuan was originally playing a game, but suddenly, a cold snort echoed from the living room, followed by the sound of Yusto entering the bathroom and slamming the door heavily.

“Bang—!”

The bathroom door was slammed shut, creating a thunderous noise.

“…”

Lu Yuan paused his game, slowly backing out of the gaming interface. He stared at the bathroom door for a while, lost in thought. After a moment, he tossed the terminal aside and muttered a curse under his breath:

“Damn…”

Being a decent person and a gentleman was indeed not easy.

Back when Lu Yuan’s blood purity hadn’t been exposed, he believed that marrying Yusto would be immensely challenging and might hinder his partner. So, he strictly adhered to the rules, never crossing the line, even going as far as saying things like, “If we can’t be life partners, I absolutely won’t mark Yusto.”

Now, Lu Yuan regretted it deeply. He regretted it a lot. However, spoken words were like spilled water; once said, they couldn’t be taken back. After all, even a thug had some pride. How could he still face others if he went back on his word?

Lu Yuan flipped over on the sofa, hugging a pillow. He sighed, already dreading how to endure this night. The sound of water flowing in the bathroom was like a haunting melody, insidiously drilling into his ears.

After what seemed like a while, Yusto finally emerged from the bathroom. He wore a white shirt on his upper body and black trousers on the lower half. His silver hair dripped with water, and the slightly damp shirt clung to his skin, hinting at the allure of his flesh.

Lu Yuan had expected something more, considering the pretext of watching a video, perhaps a little seduction.

However, Yusto simply leaned lazily against the door, casually drying his hair with a towel. He then lifted his eyelids, gave Lu Yuan a glance, and nonchalantly said, “I’m done,” before turning and heading back to the bedroom.

Lu Yuan: “…”

Misjudged.

Surprisingly, Lu Yuan felt a bit disappointed. He tossed the pillow aside and reluctantly got up from the sofa to take a shower. As he passed by the bedroom, he subtly glanced inside and saw Yusto lying on the bed, engrossed in the terminal.

Tsk, he must be mad.

Lu Yuan shook his head, turned, and entered the bathroom. He planned to finish his shower and then go out to coax Yusto. If he could see what Yusto was searching on the terminal, he wouldn’t be able to hold back his laughter.

As widely known, the StarNet was a magical place with functionality comparable to a certain search engine on Earth. If you encountered any questions, just enter and ask; you would likely find an answer.

Yusto lay on the bed, furrowed his brows, registered a small account, and joined a chat group on a forum. He started seeking answers online:

#Reasons for male zerg’s sexual indifference#

In Salaranfa, there were quite a few female zergs in the chat group in the middle of the night, many of them having been married. At the same time, there were also solitary bachelors who hadn’t even been touched by a male zerg since childhood. As soon as Yusto posted his question, responses from various zergs popped up.

[OP, there’s no sexually indifferent male zerg in the world. If there is, it’s because you’re not attractive enough to him.]

Yusto sneered. He thought, what crap. He had been recognized as one of the most beautiful female zergs in Bardell Academy every year. Genetics determined appearance, and were there female zergs with better genes than the royal zerg?

The answer was, of course, no.

This answer, pass!

Yusto decided to change the question: [The male zerg kisses and hugs you, but refuses to mark you. Why?]

Netizens found this question even more absurd than the previous one.

[The male zerg is kissing and hugging you, indicating a physiological response. How is it possible for him not to mark you? Is the OP deliberately fishing for attention?]

Yusto rolled over irritably, thinking that Lu Yuan still hadn’t marked him: [No, it’s true.]

Netizens let their imaginations run wild: [Could it be because his size is too sma—, so he’s embarrassed to mark you?]

Recently, there was news on StarNet about a commoner male zerg who had been infertile for many years. Upon going to the hospital for a checkup, it was discovered that the issue was due to a size-related matter. During copulation, he couldn’t even reach the female zerg’s reproductive cavity, let alone complete the internal marking.

Yusto paused when he saw this, his face warming, and with a slightly furrowed brow, he replied seriously: [No, the size is quite impressive.]

In the forum group, there were many single female zergs. Considering that even finding a partner was difficult for them, Yusto’s question seemed quite extravagant from a certain perspective. Replies below were sarcastic:

[How impressive? Post a picture for us to see.]

[OP doesn’t dare. It must be fake.]

[Even if it’s true, why should OP post a picture for you? Stop being bitter here.]

Yusto would never post a picture of Lu Yuan; after all, his male lord was something he cherished. Why should he give a cheap thrill to other females?! Just as Yusto felt that he gained nothing and was about to log off, another comment popped up on StarNet:

[OP, instead of speculating here, why not just ask that male zerg directly?]

Yusto, looking at this comment, fell into contemplation. In fact, he had asked before, but Lu Yuan’s answer wasn’t quite suitable in the context of Zerg customs. It was a bit too subtle. Hesitating, he typed out a response:

[He said… he wants to mark me after we become life partners.]

The Zerg society was a contradictory group, with rules and restrictions heavy as mountains pressing down on the female zergs, while the male zergs faced relatively fewer limitations. They acted according to their whims and desires, not deliberately suppressing themselves. The situation of marking after becoming life partners was indeed rare.

Yusto’s entire focus was on Lu Yuan, and being in the midst of it, he couldn’t see the bigger picture. After all, becoming life partners with a male zerg with a purity of 100%, even if he were the heir to the imperial throne, still brought about some anxiety and unease. Especially with Lu Yuan’s statement about waiting until after graduation, which was two years away.

Little did he know that his response caused a sensation on the forum. Netizens wished they could shake Yusto’s shoulders and scream madly. Even through the screen, their envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Yusto were palpable.

[!! OP, what are you showing off?! If you encounter such a great male zerg, you should beg the Zerg God for mercy. In case he marks you and then doesn’t take responsibility, who will you cry to?!]

[If he reacts to you, it means he likes you. Not wanting to mark you is because he’s responsible for you. Ah, I’m so bitter! Does this kind of male zerg really exist?!! Are you lying to us?!]

[OP should be happy! After being deeply marked by a male zerg, the patterns on your body will change color. In case this male zerg isn’t responsible, it’ll be hard for you to marry other male zergs in the future.]

[Does OP’s family need a female servant? One who can cook and warm the bed?]

Yusto looked at the comments filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. There was a subtle moment of silence. It dawned on him, belatedly realizing that the comments from netizens made sense. Lu Yuan being responsible was a good thing. He should be happy! Male zergs who were polite and responsible were hard to find in Salaranfa. Others would be overjoyed to have encountered someone like that, so why was he sulking?

Sometimes, understanding came in a flash.

So when Lu Yuan finished showering and came out of the bathroom, ready to comfort the sulking Yusto, he found that the white bunny had already cheered himself up. Yusto lay on the bed with a contented expression, looking blissfully happy, and Lu Yuan couldn’t figure out what had happened.

Lu Yuan: “???”

He had just taken a shower. Did something happen while he was unaware?

Seeing Lu Yuan standing by the bed in confusion, Yusto slyly hid the terminal under the pillow and patted the spot next to him, “What are you standing there for? Come up and sleep.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan wiped his wet hair and climbed onto the bed, but he still carried the cool mist of water vapor. From behind, he pulled Yusto into his arms, pressing against Yusto’s warm body, and nestled his face against Yusto’s shoulder, asking in confusion, “Not angry anymore?”

Yusto thought he was still a bit angry, just not as angry as before. He turned around and embraced Lu Yuan, habitually entwining Lu Yuan’s legs under the blanket. Suddenly, and somewhat nonsensically, he said, “Apart from you, I won’t marry any other male zerg.”

Lu Yuan always seemed uncertain about their marriage, but Yusto never had any doubts in that regard. He knew exactly what he wanted and was clear that, apart from Lu Yuan, he wouldn’t choose any other male zerg.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was momentarily stunned. Although he didn’t quite understand why Yusto suddenly said such words, he couldn’t help but smile. He lowered his head, kissing the soft petals of Yusto’s lips. As the shallow color gradually matured into a rosy red, his voice, muffled by the entangled lips and tongues, sounded a bit blurry but couldn’t hide the dominance, “Of course, you can only marry me, Yusto.”

Lu Yuan also had possessiveness in certain aspects, although it wasn’t always apparent.

What started as a simple kiss took on a different flavor due to the almost confessional words. The temperature in the room gradually rose. In a trance, someone accidentally touched the switch of the bedside lamp, and the room plunged into darkness.

Yusto felt Lu Yuan’s kisses becoming more forceful, as if he wanted to devour him alive. Their breaths became erratic. Yusto, with a flushed face, emerged from under the blanket, his eyebrows slightly raised. He asked with an ambiguous tone, “Are you really not planning to mark me?”

He had the feeling that Lu Yuan was struggling.

Lu Yuan: “…”

Indeed, Lu Yuan was struggling. He could only repeatedly kiss the zerg markings on Yusto’s neck, trying to alleviate some of the burning sensation.

Yusto was softened by his kisses, thinking that Lu Yuan was already uncomfortable enough, yet he still came to torment himself. In the darkness, Yusto circled around the male zerg’s neck and couldn’t help but speak, “How about… we give it a try?”

Lu Yuan paused, “Give it a try?”

It was a question filled with curiosity, but Yusto misunderstood the meaning. There was the sound of clothes rustling, and two sets of clothing were directly thrown onto the bed, landing softly on the floor and forming a gentle pile.

In the darkness, Yusto nibbled on Lu Yuan’s earlobe, then slowly circled his waist. With a raised chin, almost commanding, he uttered a sentence, “Mark me.”

Yusto kissed Lu Yuan’s earlobe, like a tempting sea nymph, “Lu Yuan, mark me…”

Couples deep in love often enjoy being intimately entwined, but both Yusto and Lu Yuan had almost zero experience in such matters. They were fumbling in the dark, with no preparation whatsoever.

Lu Yuan was unaware that in this world, male zergs needed to use pheromones to induce mating behavior in female zergs. Otherwise, it was impossible to make the war-hardened military females relax their guard. He struggled throughout the night without success. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he lifted the blanket with a swish, got out of bed, and went straight into the bathroom for a cold shower.

Outside the window, the night was hazy, and light-colored curtains hung quietly on the bay window. The tassels below were tangled by a gentle breeze, resembling the confused and chaotic thoughts of a young person.

Meanwhile, Yusto’s mind lay in a state of chaos under the blanket. Clearly, he hadn’t fully recovered from the suffocating kisses just moments ago. By the time he regained consciousness, Lu Yuan had already come out of the bathroom.

It was evident that Lu Yuan was not in a good mood; his expression was quite sour.

Seeing Yusto subconsciously clutching the blanket, he probably knew that he had not succeeded just now. The bodies of the military females were always highly vigilant. While casual touching might be acceptable, any deeper contact would cause their muscles to unconsciously tense in resistance, making it difficult for them to relax.

Yusto had endured countless whippings before, and his body was even more on guard. He resisted anything that might cause him pain, a reflex he couldn’t control even against himself.

Lu Yuan, in his attempt to avoid causing Yusto harm, refrained from forcing anything earlier. However, this still couldn’t change the fact that he felt embarrassed. As a little ruffian, not being able to go to school was one thing, but not being able to handle bed matters—this was a severe blow to his self-esteem!

Lu Yuan, silent, pulled back the blanket and got into bed. He intended to use sleep to calm his troubled emotions. However, out of nowhere, Yusto’s voice sounded in his ears, “Are you angry?”

Lu Yuan was stunned at the question. Angry? Why would he be angry?

Seeing him silent, Yusto tightened his grip on Lu Yuan’s face and directly lifted the blanket to sit on Lu Yuan’s lap. He began kissing him and whispered, “Let’s try again. You don’t need to worry about me. Even if there’s bleeding, it doesn’t matter…”

He hadn’t finished his sentence before Lu Yuan grabbed his wrist. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Bleeding does matter.

Lu Yuan generally understood that Yusto was feeling uneasy and self-blaming. He reached out and pulled him into his arms, then covered them both with the blanket again. “It’s okay. We can try again in a couple of days.”

Yusto hesitated and said, “But…”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but find it amusing. He thought he hadn’t shut himself in yet, but Yusto beat him to it. “It has nothing to do with you. I wasn’t ready, and besides, being with you is not just for that kind of thing. Don’t overthink it.”

After speaking, he kissed Yusto and added, “We have school tomorrow. Go to sleep early.”

Yusto asked again, “Are you really not mad?”

Lu Yuan replied, “No.”

Yusto pressed further, “Really not mad?”

Lu Yuan, feeling a bit helpless, said, “Really not mad.”

Yusto, after confirming multiple times that Lu Yuan was genuinely not upset, finally lay down to sleep. However, he couldn’t shake off a feeling of unease. If only he had paid more attention during their classes before, maybe Lu Yuan wouldn’t be so clueless about such matters. Yusto himself was equally inexperienced, and with both of them being oblivious, what other outcome could there be besides confusion?

The night was deep, long, and seemingly endless.

Just before falling asleep, Yusto, driven by curiosity, scrolled through the forum posts. Observing comments filled with envy over finding a good partner, he couldn’t help but unconsciously snuggle against Lu Yuan in agreement, finding some truth in what others were saying.

Yusto tucked the terminal under the pillow, kissed Lu Yuan’s Adam’s apple, and then earnestly wished him, “Good night.”

Lu Yuan reciprocated by kissing his forehead and casually tousling his hair, saying, “Good night.”

Both of them settled down to sleep. However, in the early hours of the morning, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. Quietly retrieving the terminal from under the pillow, he performed some actions with a furrowed brow, showing signs of frustration.

Why can’t I find it?

Lu Yuan rapidly searched through the school’s course schedule. He distinctly remembered there was an elective course called “Sex and Reproduction Education” but why couldn’t he find it now? If he had known, he wouldn’t have dropped the course during the change period, and now he couldn’t even handle bed matters.

As Lu Yuan searched for the course schedule, he grumbled in his heart: Damn it, why isn’t such an important course a required one?! Why is it an elective?!
