Chapter 75- Sharing the Same Bed
“Um, can you give me a pair of underwear?”
After hesitating for a long time, He Ruge finally managed to ask, as the material of the military uniform was very stiff.
“Sure,” Xi Guican’s dry voice rang out.
After a while, He Ruge received an extra-large pair of underwear, completely unable to hold up He Ruge’s waist, slipping down as soon as he put them on.
The quick-witted He Ruge tied a knot in the loose area and started putting on the shirt. Xi Guican’s shirt was more than a size too big for him; the hem hung down to just below his thighs, almost like a dress.
The pants were even longer, making He Ruge doubt life itself. He rolled up the cuffs several times before reluctantly managing to put on the pants meant for someone with much longer legs.
“I’m dressed.”
He Ruge looked at the clean bathtub wall, unsure of how to get out. Previously, when Xi Guican had left, it seemed like he had some kind of light skill, effortlessly leaping and running along the walls.
Upon hearing this, Xi Guican stuck his head out again, leaning over the edge of the bathtub to look down, seeing He Ruge wrapped tightly in all black.
He carefully buttoned each button and rolled up the overly long sleeves, revealing slender wrists. Even though the pants had been rolled up several times, they still dragged on the ground.
Under the black fabric, the skin on the back of his feet was extraordinarily soft and white. It was a softness entirely different from the stiffness of the military uniform.
Compared to Xi Guican’s impeccably fitted uniform, it added a special flavor when worn by He Ruge.
It was like a certain soft little creature, covered in his scent from head to toe, was standing in front of him, looking at him with innocent, soft eyes, seeking protection with full trust.
“Guican, can you take me out?”
He Ruge’s pale pink lips were like pink petals, his tongue behind his pearl-like teeth was like a sweet flower bud.
Presumably, that crystalline dew was also sweet.
Xi Guican was stunned for a full three seconds, and when he came to his senses, his ears turned red again. He jumped into the bathtub like an awkward teenager and stretched out his left hand towards He Ruge, wanting to embrace his waist.
Then, feeling that his right hand was stronger, he retracted his left hand and reached out with his right hand.
He Ruge thought of Xi Guican’s daily request for holding hands and subconsciously took Xi Guican’s right hand.
Xi Guican’s breath became chaotic in an instant as he enveloped He Ruge’s icy cold little hand.
Yes, compared to Xi Guican, these hands could only be described as small. Xi Guican dared not use too much force, fearing he might accidentally hurt the other person.
The two of them stood hand in hand, looking at each other in silence, a bit silly. When He Ruge fell into the bathtub earlier, he didn’t have time to take a good look at Xi Guican’s adult form. Now he realized that Xi Guican, as an adult, was at least two meters tall.
He Ruge was 179 cm tall, and he had to tilt his head up to see Xi Guican’s face. When his neck started to ache, Xi Guican reached out and hugged He Ruge, one hand around his waist.
Unlike He Ruge’s lower body temperature, Xi Guican’s hand was hot even through the layer of fabrics in between, and his palm inadvertently landed on the area between He Ruge’s waist and hips.
Coincidentally, it landed on that indecent-looking tattoo.
He Ruge then realized that his skin with the tattoo was particularly sensitive, and now his legs were a bit weak.
Xi Guican didn’t notice these details. He embraced He Ruge’s waist and easily led him out of the bathtub.
When they landed, the rolled-up cuffs of the pants loosened, and He Ruge almost tripped over them. Fortunately, Xi Guican didn’t let go of his hand around He Ruge’s waist.
“Let me help you roll them up.”
When He Ruge wanted to squat down and re-roll the cuffs, Xi Guican preemptively squatted down. He knelt on the ground, patiently rolling up He Ruge’s cuffs. Suddenly, he covered He Ruge’s foot with his hand.
“Your feet are cold, let me warm them up.”
Xi Guican looked up, his azure eyes shining under the bathroom light, as translucent as precious sapphires.
The sudden warmth made He Ruge nervous, and he subconsciously curled his toes. He quickly shook his head and said, “No need, no need.”
After Xi Guican helped He Ruge put on slippers, he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
“Um…”
When he heard He Ruge’s voice, the blue flames in his eyes reignited. Xi Guican looked at He Ruge expectantly, hoping he would say something like wanting his feet warmed.
“You just touched my feet, why don’t you go wash your hands?” He Ruge pointed to the sink.
Xi Guican responded,”…Alright.”
The flames in his eyes were extinguished directly. Xi Guican walked heavily to the sink to wash his hands.
During the time Xi Guican spent washing his hands, He Ruge curiously looked around.
The nearly five-meter-high bathroom gave He Ruge a sense of freedom, as if he could soar high and dive deep in the sea.
The bathroom was large enough to fit a sofa, but there was only a bathtub, placed by Xi Guican. The decoration was so simple that it was almost nonexistent, all white, with black floor tiles, very minimalistic.
The sound of rushing water echoed as He Ruge glanced at Xi Guican’s back. There was a mirror on the sink, but the height of the mirror was very unfriendly. He suspected he’d have to jump to see himself in it.
After using hand soap and meticulously drying his hands, Xi Guican finally extended his fragrant hand to He Ruge with a satisfied expression.
He Ruge obediently took his hand, and they walked out of the bathroom hand in hand, entering Xi Guican’s bedroom. He Ruge already thought the bathroom was spacious, but when he saw the bedroom, where one could run laps or dance on the luxurious big bed, tears of inexperience welled up in his heart.
Sorry, poverty has limited my imagination.
But while the bedroom was indeed large, it was also truly empty. The spacious room only contained a bed and minimal furniture, still with white walls and black floor tiles, and the large bed was a dull black.
“…The other rooms aren’t tidy. How about you stay in my bedroom tonight?”
Xi Guican lied with his eyes open. With a robot maid around, tidying up the room was a matter of minutes.
However, after receiving guidance from the game, how could Xi Guican miss this chance to unlock the “touch” option?
“This bed is quite big, definitely enough for both of us.”
The bedroom bed was custom-made to allow a large white tiger, over three meters tall and nine meters long, to roll around happily.
Although out of the nine-meter length, four meters were just occupied by his tail.
Under the gaze of those unconsciously pleading blue eyes, He Ruge couldn’t say a word ofrefusal.
He sat on the soft big bed, suddenly remembering the bridge in the old Mary Sue novels where they woke up on a hundred-meter bed every day. Now, the whole bed beneath him could roughly cosplay that scene, and much more could be done.
The moment He Ruge sat on the bed, Xi Guican began to bloom with joy. He also reservedly sat on the edge of the bed, sitting together with He Ruge. Since He Ruge had turned into his humanoid form in the game, they hadn’t slept together.
“I think we should have a good talk. Let me introduce my situation first.”
He Ruge cleared his throat and said, “My name is He Ruge, I’m from Earth. Two months ago, a dating game called ‘My Exclusive Lover’ appeared on my computer.”
“In this game, you are my target for romance. The game gave me the identity of a worker at the Starry Sea Orphanage. My main task is to make you have a very high opinion of me after six experiments.”
He Ruge felt a bit weird saying this. It sounded like he was playing the game with the purpose of raising Xi Guican’s favorability.
Although his initial intention was indeed to raise favorability, as he played on… he truly fell for Character No. 20 and wanted to treat him well, regardless of his favorability.
He Ruge turned his head to look at Xi Guican’s expression, his heart involuntarily tensing up, fearing to see any hint of negative emotion on Xi Guican’s face.
But there was none.
Xi Guican looked at him attentively, his handsome mature face showing the focused attention of a child listening to a lecture. When he noticed He Ruge stop talking, Xi Guican tilted his head slightly in confusion, as if wondering why He Ruge suddenly stopped talking.
This was the big white tiger who loved him with all his heart.
The hanging heart suddenly found its anchor. He Ruge couldn’t help but smile, reaching out to touch Xi Guican’s hair and softly said, “After the game ended, I achieved the ‘Lover Descends from the Heavens’ ending, which told me I would be rewarded in ten days…”
The term “Military Uniform Play” seemed too hot to handle, and He Ruge found himself unable to say it.
“What reward?” Xi Guican asked curiously.
“…The reward is to play games together with you in military uniforms, probably like what we’re doing now, sitting here chatting and playing truth or dare,” He Ruge said, completely unsure of what nonsense he was talking about.
To prevent Xi Guican from asking further questions, he quickly added, “Ten days later, which is today, I crossed over and fell from the bathtub in my own house into your bathtub. What about you? What’s your situation?”
Xi Guican’s attention was indeed diverted, “I also had this game appear on my light brain two months ago. At first, I thought it was a therapeutic game prepared by the chief physician for me…”
Before he could finish his sentence, He Ruge interrupted, “Chief physician? Therapeutic game? Are you sick? How serious is your illness? How’s your body now? Is it serious?”
The barrage of questions left Xi Guican unsure which one to answer. This feeling of being cared for was truly sweet yet troublesome.
Recalling the bath that smelled medicinal, He Ruge nervously asked, “When I fell into the bathtub earlier, were you taking a medicinal bath? What’s wrong with your body that requires a medicinal bath?”
“Uh…!!”
Xi Guican’s heart was suddenly in turmoil. He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself. He had never regretted so much in his life.
He regretted not taking a bath with the hair growth medicine half a year ago! He kept postponing, postponing until now, to this deadly moment!
Under He Ruge’s concerned gaze, a tiger ear popped up instinctively, only to be ruthlessly suppressed by Xi Guican.
“I was indeed ill, but you don’t need to worry. It’s just minor ailments, nothing serious. I recovered a while ago. The reason I’m taking this medicinal bath…”
After a rapid brainstorm, Xi Guican calmly said, “It’s just for strengthening my body. After another half a month of soaking, I won’t need to anymore.”
His heart was still pounding wildly. Xi Guican didn’t know if He Ruge believed him.
He wiped the sweat that had emerged from nervousness onto the bedsheet, quickly recounting his experience, “…That’s about it. The game notified me that there would be a mysterious grand prize in ten days.”
“It seems I am that mysterious grand prize.”
He Ruge became even more curious about the development team of this game.
“Do you know who developed this game?”
Xi Guican shook his head.
“But this game is still playable on my light brain. It also added game account logins—one for me and one for you.”
Opening the light brain ring, the holographic screen floated in mid-air. After sharing light brain permissions with He Ruge, Xi Guican taught him how to operate it.
“Here, you can set it to ‘visible to self only.’ If you do this, I won’t be able to see the contents on the screen.”
“It’s okay. It’s just a game. No need to be so troublesome.”
Xi Guican insisted, “No, I can’t violate your privacy.”
So, you can’t see my game mode either!
The naive He Ruge was impressed by Xi Guican’s ideological enlightenment. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart—
What a high-quality man.
Mini Theater:
He Ruge: What a high-quality man.
Xi Guican: Ah, I need to hide my game mode and baldness! (Extremely nervous)
