“So, how did you determine that? So suddenly…”
After calming down, Leiden straightened his somewhat messy clothes and asked casually.
The starship was traveling smoothly in space, and the exhaust fan that had been turned on was humming. The faint noise had some calming effects at this time.
“It’s just an accident.” The corners of Ji Mingjiang’s lips were still moist. He licked it lightly and turned his head to look at Leiden, his face full of emotion. “When I asked at that time, I thought about how to find a reason for myself if you denied it, but I didn’t think that you actually didn’t cover it up at all, and that expression was close to putting the words ‘You guessed it right! You guessed it right’ on your face.”
After sighing, Leiden looked at Ji Mingjiang, who had just finished speaking with a teasing expression, and lazily collapsed onto the bed. He half lowered his eyes and stared at his fingertips, which had turned slightly red from the warm-up activity just now. He said in a plain tone that was completely opposite to his helpless expression: “I didn’t say anything before because I was worried about being directly rejected by you, but if you have already guessed…”
He then looked up at Ji Mingjiang, who was looking at him seriously, and admitted frankly: “If you already guessed it, but I still denied it, it doesn’t seem like a way to pursue someone. It’s not embarrassing to fall in love with you, and there’s no need to hide it. If you reject me, then I’ll think of a solution.”
He spoke so candidly. If Ji Mingjiang hadn’t missed Leiden’s guilty and panicked expression when he first heard his words, he would probably have believed his calm and admirable self-confession.
But…
Seeing the anxiety that lay hidden in his eyes after Leiden finished speaking, Ji Mingjiang exerted strength in his waist and abdomen and straightened up from the bed. Then, aiming at the target, he accurately pecked the corner of the other party’s mouth that was still a little swollen.
As light as a dragonfly skipping on the water.
Afterward, he quickly laid back down as if nothing had happened.
Like Leiden, he liked to pretend to be calm, but the red earlobes still revealed Ji Mingjiang’s mood. He also had little experience in relationships.
“Let me think about where to start…”
After lying back down, Ji Mingjiang looked back at Leiden’s uncomfortable look and his hand reaching for the corner of his mouth, and then changed the subject and recalled: “It started out as a dream I had this morning, I think.”
Not missing the sudden tightening of the corners of Leiden’s mouth, Ji Mingjiang said meaningfully, “Ah——,” and then said clearly, “I knew it was indeed your dream.”
Immediately afterwards, Ji Mingjiang explained from the beginning: “This morning, after I was frightened and woke up by that, um… you confessed to me and was followed by a dream of being handcuffed, I actually didn’t react at first. I thought it was my problem.”
“…”
Leiden was silent for a few seconds, not sure whether he was silent because of the handcuffs or because the man in his dream was really Ji Mingjiang. Anyway, after three or four seconds, he said in a dangerous tone, “Your problem?”
“Ah no, no!”
A shadow was cast above, and Ji Mingjiang quickly changed his words: “I thought I had evil intentions towards you and betrayed our noble, beautiful, and firm friendship.”
After tugging on Leiden’s sleeves in a flattering manner, Ji Mingjiang continued: “After eating, I still didn’t understand why I dreamed of that scene, so I searched on the Starnet.”
Originally, it was just a habit he brought over from his previous life to go to the internet for consultation when he had any problems. When Ji Mingjiang typed, he felt a bit overwhelmed, but what he never expected was that this thing really made him search for it?!
Who knows how shocked Ji Mingjiang was at that time?
After reading the results he found, Ji Mingjiang, who had already received a double critical hit, received his third critical hit.
The post was about a beastman who was dreaming one night and suddenly dreamed that he was kicked several times by his hamster beastman, almost all the way in the face, until a scene that perfectly fits the “dream logic” appeared—he was kicked so much that a bunch of his primary beastman’s favorite snacks fell out.
And before this dream, he just happened to cut off his snacks for a while because he was following medical advice to put this guy in his family on a diet.
After waking up in the morning and doubting himself for a while, the beastman, who had such an outrageous dream, fed the hamster beastman some snacks…
Then he received a look of “Good boy, you’ve got a good eye” from the other party.
After posting this matter to the Star Network with a half-hearted attitude, thinking that he might receive a lot of hahaha because of his overthinking, the beastman unexpectedly received many “+1” replies in the afternoon. What he and those people all have in common is that they had their primary beastman undergo a mental counseling session a few days before this dream.
After a brief explanation, Ji Mingjiang looked at the stunned Leiden with a smile, saying, “I didn’t believe it at first, but each of those people complained about their dream in detail, and many of them are questionable.”
“Those people are beastmen brought to primary beastmen dreams. But unlike them, we are the reverse.”
“I’ve never liked anyone before, so after realizing this, I just carefully imagined hugging, kissing, and, well, other necessary stages of love, and found that I didn’t have any objections in my imagination. The emotions come directly to you.”
After speaking frankly about his inner journey, Ji Mingjiang looked straight at Leiden with a pair of black and shiny eyes and said, “Probably because I don’t have any particularly strong obsessions, so it’s me who was pulled closer to your dream, but what I’m curious about is…”
Having said this, Ji Mingjiang quickly grabbed Leiden, who was about to run away when he saw something was wrong, and asked, “Why did you dream that you were handcuffed? Our Majesty Clarice, or, in other words, my ……boyfriend?”
Seeing that Leiden was so stubborn and silent, Ji Mingjiang’s face became clear. He said in a prolonged tone, “I know even if you don’t tell me, do you think you developed indescribable feelings for me not long after I became an adult, perv…uh-huh?”
Just as he was about to say the word “pervert,” Leiden’s warm, broad palm furiously closed over his lips.
Then the shadow originally cast on his body turned into a real person, and Ji Mingjiang even felt the rapid breathing from Leiden.
He blinked innocently, and after the hand that was covering him moved slightly upward, he looked into the depths of Leiden’s eyes with understanding and tolerant eyes.
As if to say: It doesn’t matter; I understand.
After all, he was the one who didn’t act like an underage fish at all, so it was perfectly reasonable for Leiden to get along with him and forget about his age.
But isn’t it a little too much anxiety to suspect and handcuff yourself in your dreams?
“Knock knock——”
Just as the two of them were in an extremely ambiguous situation and were expected to show two big red-faced postures after each reacted, the thick room door was suddenly knocked on. Vincent Lurleena’s somewhat vague voice came from outside: “It’s time to eat. Captain, I can’t find you. Are you with His Highness Mingjiang?”
Obviously, he had watched the whole process through surveillance, and now he was simply risking being beaten by knowingly asking questions, but Vincent Lurleena’s face was full of eagerness to try.
For privacy reasons, the sound quality of the monitor wasn’t very good. Vincent Lurleena only knows that his captain must have some unspeakable feelings towards Ji Mingjiang, but Ji Mingjiang kissed him without saying a word. It should be… these two people should be double arrows, right?
Just when he was thinking wildly and the expression on his face became more and more expectant, the door in front of him was opened with a swish, and the expressionless Clarice appeared in front of him.
Hmm… The tie was wrinkled, and the shirt that was still neat before leaving also had many wrinkles. The top button was unbuttoned, and the corners of the shirt that were originally tucked into the pants also slipped out.
Vincent Lurleena took a quick glance before looking over at the scowling Clarice, ready to make a warm introduction to today’s lunch aboard the starship.
Then, his eyes were locked on the …… mouths of Clarice and Ji Mingjiang, who were walking slowly behind him.
The skin was broken and swollen, especially his captain’s lower lip and corners of his mouth, which were the most “injured.”
“You, you two…” For a moment, he forgot what mood he was in, and Vincent Lurleena, who was about to come over, stuttered and sighed, “How long has it been? Are you two so fierce?!”
Could it be that he misjudged Clarice before?!
“boom!”
In a state of shock and completely defenseless, Vincent Lurleena was once again knocked to the ground by the expressionless Clarice.
“You are the only one who talks a lot.”
He looks very cold and unkind, but even if he deceives reporters and others with this appearance, Vincent Lurleena, who has been with him for several years, and Ji Mingjiang, who has just established a relationship but already knows him very well, definitely won’t be fooled.
“But captain, your ears are so red.”
Vincent Lurleena, a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, kept on babbling. Leiden’s already very hot earlobe was poked by the cool fingertips of Ji Mingjiang behind him.
His figure tensed almost unnoticeably for a moment, and then he heard Ji Mingjiang’s very agreeable words: “It’s really red and hot. Mr. Vincent’s observation is quite detailed.”
“…”
After closing his eyes, Leiden directly grabbed Ji Mingjiang’s troublesome hand. As he walked forward, he also pulled him hard and said with a tense expression, “Stop messing around; go eat first; in a while we’re going to arrive at the federation, and you’re surely not accustomed to the hospitality banquet they’re organizing.”
“Eh? There’s a hospitality banquet? Then will Abbott Wilson arrange for you to have some beautiful and exquisite little boys and girls to promote our cooperation with each other?”
Ji Mingjiang did not break free from Leiden’s hand. Instead, he looked down with interest for a while and then spoke teasingly about something he had encountered in his previous life.
“Yes, there must be. Abbot Wilson is the most arrogant. Even if you refuse, he will only treat you as if you are pretending to shrug it off. Maybe he will find some people to target you. But…”
Having said this, Leiden turned to Ji Mingjiang and said, “Do you not trust me or yourself?”
Even if it were really arranged, would you let those people get close to me?
You won’t, and I certainly won’t either.
The meaning of the words was very obvious. Ji Mingjiang rolled his eyes, gently turned his wrist, and his tone was full of enthusiasm to cause trouble: “Of course not; not only that, we can also give that old guy a surprise.”
Surprise, not shock, right?
Vincent Lurleena complained as he got up from the ground and followed the two of them.
