Chapter 64- Fatherly Love Turned Sour
Taking a sip of energy crystal, racing over the living immortals….and if he happens to suck it together with a big cat, he would simply want to die immediately….
However, when the big cat was replaced by a handsome young man with tiger ears, it became a source of shame and indignation.
After recovering, He Ruge looked at Xi Guican in disbelief. He stared for one second, two seconds, three seconds… before finally fleeing and choosing to log out.
What just happened?
He Ruge, sitting on the bed in confusion after removing the holographic gaming helmet, felt a chaotic mess in his mind. He had entered a completely unfamiliar territory, and his reaction was one of bewildered uncertainty.
He… kissed Xi Guican, or rather, Xi Guican kissed him?
Lips touching lips—does that count as a kiss?
Or was Xi Guican simply instructing, purely for the purpose of embracing him and absorbing the strange stone, thus exchanging breath with a mouth-to-mouth technique?
The wonderful airflow concealed within the stone gave He Ruge a sense of floating like an immortal. When he absorbed these gases, a joy never before experienced washed over his soul, as if he was immersed in a sea of clouds.
His soul and body became light, free of impurities. The demonic patterns at that moment turned scalding hot, and a tingling sensation enveloped his lower body.
At that moment, He Ruge suddenly felt that his legs became incredibly soft, perhaps even boneless. They were so soft that they didn’t seem human, but rather the supple tail of a charming snake or the undulating tail of a fish swimming in water.
He Ruge rolled up his trouser legs, and the red patterns on his ankles were so vivid they seemed capable of dripping blood, like the enchanting red lips of a mountain spirit saturated with vital essence. The silver-white patterns on his calves shone with a radiant soft light.
He wanted to take a bath.
At this moment, He Ruge yearned to be in contact with water, to soak in it and never come out. He also felt the need to drink water.
He Ruge brewed wolfberries in a thermos, took a sip of wolfberry tea in the bathtub, and gazed at the floating wolfberries. The orange-red color tinted the warm water into a faint pink, reminiscent of Xi Guican’s rosy cheeks.
He thought of Xi Guican again. Not the little white tiger, not the big white tiger, but the humanoid Xi Guican. The pure yet seductive youth cradled his face, stood on tiptoe with a blushing face, and cautiously touched his lips to his.
The overly soft touch felt wet, like a fledgling bird flapping its wings. However, the hidden fangs emitted a dangerous aura, like a young shark that could devour meat even before growing up.
However, at some point, juvenile features always manage to weaken aggression. He Ruge recalled the kiss with a hint of deception, and surprisingly, he didn’t feel anger or disgust.
He felt that, to Xi Guican, he was like a piece of meat or candy, hidden and cherished for a long time, and finally succumbed to the temptation to sneak a taste.
That light and moist kiss had no trace of frivolity; instead, it was cherished to the extreme, only daring to make gentle contact.
The satisfied laughter of the youth kept flashing in He Ruge’s mind—the enthusiastic movements resembling a little wolf dog, the arms holding onto his waist firmly, the tiptoes used to compensate for the height difference, and the warm breath lightly caressing his face like feathers.
He Ruge blushed belatedly, feeling a burning sensation on his neck from the touch. He remembered the bright and astonishing eyes of the other, like a trapped beast hungry for a long time, or the glimmering golden light on the sea.
However, at the moment their lips met, a thick fog suddenly rose over the sea. The light shimmered uncertainly in the mist, revealing only a floating and gentle tenderness.
He Ruge held his breath and submerged his face in the water. He hoped that he could wash away those shameful images from his mind. His thoughts were too indecent; after all, Xi Guican was just a little over one year old, even if you count from the transformation from a little white tiger into a human.
He should care for the other person as an old father, even in this dating game.
After holding his breath for too long, He Ruge raised his head and took a deep breath—
Wait a minute!
This is a dating game. Xi Guican, as a target for conquest, even if he is cute, cannot change the fact that he is male. A pure boy, absolutely not a girl in disguise. After all, there is no thorny rose that can possess prickles like that.
So, was he just entangled and… shy about a boy’s kiss?!
He Ruge wiped his face and thought about his sexual orientation in a daze. If his blood boiled for the military god in uniform before, and he could comfort himself by being attracted to paper characters, now that the game has evolved into holographic mode, the original paper characters have blown up like balloons, filling his heart to the brim.
The contact was unbelievably real; they had shared intimate moments, slept side by side, engaged in physical touch, and whispered late-night secrets, experiences that one could have in reality. The holographic game was equally capable of providing such interactions.
In overly realistic games, there are often moments when the reality feels more like life than a game. Similarly, the people within the game seem so real, as if they possess life.
What kind of existence is Xi Guican to him?
The balloon in his heart inflates more and more, as if it’s about to explode. Yet, at the same time, it feels like gently poking it with a needle would easily burst it, making everything return to nothingness.
Is Xi Guican a lover? A child? A pet? Or merely a character in the game?
The boundaries among these four are blurry and unpredictable, spreading uncontrollably. He Ruge’s mind becomes increasingly chaotic, prompting him to open a post on the author’s forum seeking help.
#Help: I seem to have fallen for a paper character of the same gender#
OP (Original Poster)
No. 0: OP is a straight guy who got attracted into the pit by the military god in a dating game. The god started as a little tiger, and OP, being moe’d, turned into an old father figure. After OP’s unwavering efforts of feeding and cleaning up after the big white tiger, it transformed into a handsome young man with tiger ears. Just now, the young man kissed OP, and OP realized that his fatherly love might have turned sour.
No. 1: Testing the plot? This plot is quite cute. OP, go ahead and write. I want to see.
No. 2: What game is this? I want to play too. Is it a recent release? Please share the title.
No. 3: Can a straight guy be attracted to a military god? OP, are you sure there isn’t some misunderstanding about straight guys?
No. 4: Ah! Tiger-eared handsome young man! Can I push him down and do as I please?! I can, really! Does this game have romance? I’m in!
No. 5: The tiger’s squeals seem to have thorns; it’s a pity with this setup. I heard that the OP who’s testing the plot might end up crawling on the ground.
No. 6: I’m different; I want to join the human-beast car.
No. 7: Originally, I didn’t feel much when reading the main post. However, with you all saying this, I suddenly realized that this game has it all: human-beast, father-son, younger partner, and uniform. If stewed properly, it might be delicious. Slurps
No. 8: Are the guys who come to Jinjiang very straightforward?
No. 9: Haha, Brother 8, you found the blind spot.
He Ruge’s budding romance, which had just emerged, was completely killed by everyone’s explicit discussions. Now, whenever he thinks of Xi Guican, he associates it with a series of terms that can be harmoniously euphemized.
However, with the reminders from these harmonious comments, He Ruge finally recalled the game’s initial point that excited him—the unimaginably handsome military god and the military PLAY after completing the game.
Military PLAY.
Tsk, it sounds quite inappropriate; it’s indeed not a serious game.
After finishing the bath, He Ruge climbed into bed and went to sleep. The term “Military PLAY” was flooding his mind, causing him to dream of indescribable scenes.
The next morning, after finishing his writing, He Ruge logged into the game. In the monitoring room, a large white tiger, even bigger than the door, crouched. When the white tiger saw He Ruge, its blue eyes lit up, and its big paws seemed to be ready to pounce at any moment. However, its expression showed a cowering fear, as if it had done something wrong.
Although it had only been two days since He Ruge saw the prototype of Xi Guican, he felt like it had been an eternity.
“You’re here.”
The big white tiger said in a less proficient but pleasing tone. He carefully picked up He Ruge, and when he noticed no reaction from He Ruge, he put him on his belly and rolled him couple of times, causing He Ruge to feel dizzy.
Only then did the big white tiger say in a low voice, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have secretly kissed you last night. If you get angry next time, you can touch my belly and buttocks as you like…”
The posture was extremely humble, and that big figure almost turned into a ball.
Last night, after Xi Guican took the opportunity to kiss He Ruge, he saw an expression of disbelief when the mist in He Ruge’s eyes cleared. Without a chance to speak, the person in front of him disappeared.
He disappeared suddenly, as if everything was just a beautiful dream, leaving nothing behind when one awakened.
He thought it was a bug in the game, but the game told him that his lover was avoiding his kissing behavior.
He Ruge was avoiding him.
Xi Guican stood still. Anyone could avoid him, but He Ruge couldn’t. Because all the avoidance in the world combined couldn’t compare to the damage He Ruge alone inflicted on him.
The joy brought by the stolen kiss was completely gone.
From night to day, as time passed in the alternating light and darkness, Xi Guican even felt that time and space were reversing. It was as if he had returned to the night of 104, standing at the door waiting for He Ruge, but never expecting that their next meeting would be a farewell.
When will you come back?
The green-skinned little dinosaur crouched down, took off the dinosaur costume, transformed into the appearance of that person’s favorite big white tiger, thought about it, and put the dinosaur costume on his tail, ensuring he had all the appearances that the person liked.
Then he started sitting at the door, waiting for the person to arrive. Some waits were happy, like when he listened to the person’s footsteps in compartment 20 of room B6 and eagerly waited for the person to come with a milk bottle. Some waits were painful, like waiting for a person who wouldn’t return.
But fortunately, that person finally came back.
“…So, don’t leave suddenly, okay?”
The big white tiger’s eyes showed a pleading weakness for a moment. There was an instant when He Ruge thought he was going to cry. It was really strange. How could the usually fierce big white tiger make such a pitiful expression?
He Ruge lifted the big white tiger’s pancake-like face, kissed its pink nose, and said, “When did I get mad at you? It’s my fault. Next time I leave, I’ll be sure to let you know in advance.”
The pair of blue eyes instantly brightened because of his words, looking at He Ruge sparklingly. This made He Ruge unable to resist rubbing the other’s head and… quietly rubbing the chubby buttocks.
Although I’m not angry, since this perk of rubbing the buttocks is right at hand, how can I let it go?
While rubbing, the image of Xi Guican in human form suddenly appeared in He Ruge’s mind. He instantly felt a little guilty rubbing the buttocks of a beautiful young man, making him scared. He quickly withdrew his hand, seeing the big white tiger looking inexplicably wronged.
“…”
Has my butt lost its charm to you?
He Ruge: ???
