Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

This was the nth time that Chen Xi had woken up from someone else's lap. Although it was indeed addictive, this time's lap pillow was especially not as fleshy as the previous times, but it had a citrus fragrance that was equally refreshing.

"Are you awake at last, my lord?"

"Hmm? Yours?"

Although he had just woken up, Chen Xi still grasped the key points of Snyder's words quite accurately.

"Yes, I have been yours since you bought me a few days ago~"

"I still remember that time, when the master looked at me lovingly and said, 'Come under my rubble.' He was like a knight in a fairy tale, and it really moved my heart."

"I don't think this is what makes you excited."

He reached out and flicked the unruly Snyder's forehead, propped himself up and sat up on the bed, and asked:

"Where is this place?"

"This... is someone's room~"

As he spoke, Snyder once again leaned against Chen Xi's body, reaching out to touch the abdominal muscles and torso that he had touched countless times while Chen Xi was unconscious.

"Don't make trouble."

After slapping Snyder's rebellious little hand, Chen Xi continued:

"Be careful or I'll summon your sister Anya from the wasteland and use her scythe to kill you both 30% and 70% of you."

Then she surveyed the room before her—it had the standard Foundation minimalist metallic style. However, the photos of Snyder and his family hanging on the wall added a touch of warmth to the room. She believed that as the girl lived here longer, it would become more and more like Snyder.

"I don't mind. Even if it means death, if it's Master who does it, the people won't have any complaints. But, Master, are you really willing to do that?"

"Ah... Shiba!"

With a funny curse, Chen Xi gently pushed Snyder away, walked to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down again.

He is emotionally unstable now and doesn't want to have too close contact with people around him. Even Anya and the others are locked up in the wilderness, and they only communicate with Li Chi's mind every day.

As for Snyder... he really couldn't figure out what he had done to make her cling to him like she had taken a love drug, even though he had clearly shown her such embarrassing things.

However, from Snyder's perspective, this was the first time someone was willing to take the initiative to offer shelter to her and her entire family.

It was also the first time since leaving the orange orchard that someone took care of her in detail.

Although Chen Xi did not leave a very good impression on Snyder when they first met, and even the dream that followed was a pure minus point.

However, if you think about it carefully, those are also crude disguised forms of self-protection.

Especially during the later space trip, Snyder, who was held in Chen Xi's arms, saw with his own eyes how frost gradually covered Chen Xi's body.

He didn't take care of his body, but... he protected himself in his arms very well.

She knew that her new master might have various mental abnormalities, but even under his bloody and crazy shell, his gentleness could still be revealed, protecting everyone around him.

How could such a gentle master, who pushed everyone away in order not to hurt them, not touch the heartstrings of a girl who had been wandering in anxiety for a long time?

This kind of person who will arrange everything for you and put you first even if he is injured is indeed worthy of Snyder's heart.

But now, I still don't disobey the master. Snyder still understands the principle that too much is as bad as too little.

"So, the Foundation has provided a dormitory like this for all of you?"

"Yes, sir. I went to see my sisters' and mother's rooms. They are just like mine, with all the necessary facilities. The life we ​​are living now is almost like a dream."

"So thank you so much, my Lord."

Chen Xi waved his hand to signal Snyder to stop flattering, and at the same time wiped away the blush on his face, and then asked:

"What about work? The Foundation should have arranged suitable jobs for you, right?"

"Yes, sir. I have confirmed this with my family. When they learned that I needed to work to obtain residency here, the fear and anxiety in their eyes disappeared.

Thank you again, sir, for considering so much for us."

No reward without merit, especially for people like them who already live cautiously, this kind of sudden kindness without any cost will only make them feel anxious and uneasy.

"but……"

As Snyder changed the subject, Chen Xi's eyes suddenly became sharp, but when he turned around, he was met with Snyder's sticky eyes.

"The Foundation didn't tell me what to do. Is it possible that Master intends to bring me along so that I can personally help him relax on those nights when he's exhausted from completing various missions?"

"Stop!"

Walking over from the chair, Chen Xi clapped his hands, and then pinched Snyder's cheeks again, kneading and twisting them hard.

"No, until my mental problems improve, I won't keep anyone around, including those I mentioned to you before."

"As for why the Foundation didn't assign you a job, it's because it would be a waste of your talent for you to stay here and do the same job as your sisters."

"Under my friendly negotiation, the Foundation has established a new independent department called Team Sichen. I intend to assign you there. You can also experience the power of the Ten Thousand Female Queens so that you don't have to plot against me."

After letting go of his hand, Snyder pursed his lips and stared at Chen Xi with a hint of resentment.

However, for Chen Xi at this stage, being cute is ineffective!

"Don't stare! In the past, I would have been completely smitten by your fierce attack. I might have been spoiled by Snyder and become a useless person who can't do anything."

"Actually, it's possible now, sir."

"Alright, let me go. I'm really afraid that one day I'll lose control and literally eat you up with one big mouthful."

"I don't care, sir..."

With a snap, he covered Snyder's mouth with his backhand. Chen Xi wanted to do some malicious sanity-reducing operation to scare her, but gave up after thinking about it.

"You don't care, but I do. A little girl as old as me is gone suddenly. If you are not sad, I will be sad."

With her mouth covered, Snyder couldn't express herself through words, but seeing her eyes getting brighter and brighter, Chen Xi could guess her little thoughts.

"Yes, yes, I admit that I really like you, my little orange, my white dove. But I'm in a state of confusion right now, so let me be alone for a while. You just stay with Verdin, your new master."

"Protect yourself and don't get hurt. Verdin is also a gentle person with a strong charisma. I believe you will like her as much as you like me now."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Snyder's eyes became more serious. Knowing that this little girl would not talk nonsense again, Chen Xi let go of her hand.

But as soon as his hand was taken away, Snyder grabbed it, held it in his hand, and held it to his heart.

"No, Master. The situation you described will never happen. I will never forget the Master who helped me, and no one else will ever surpass the Master's position in my heart."

Blushing and nodding his head, Chen Xi pulled his burning hand out of Snyder's arms and said a little embarrassedly:

"Alright, alright, that's all. I'll take you to your new department. You'll probably live in Verdin's box from now on. It'll be bigger, more beautiful, and more lively there. You'll make many friends and have many sincere emotional experiences."

"You still have a long life ahead of you. Of course, if you are willing to keep a place for me in your heart in the future, I will be very happy. But if you encounter other feelings that move you, you can let go and pursue them."

After saying that, Chen Xi touched Snyder's head, but didn't notice that she lowered her head and her body was trembling slightly.

"master……"

His breathing was a little heavy, and Chen Xi, who was immersed in expressing his own emotions, did not notice the abnormality until then, but it was too late.

"You know, your gentleness and consideration for me will only make it more difficult for me to bear the restlessness in my heart."

At that moment, Chen Xi seemed to see a pair of scarlet lights flash across the room. After a moment of dizziness, all his rationality was drained away.

------

I feel like writing this kind of... this sweet story, which I don't even consider a sweet story, has lost the youthful and tender feeling of love in my early writing style, and it lacks that kind of itchy feeling like a cat scratching.

Hmm, does it feel like my writing has regressed? Never mind, Chen Xi is delirious, and I am delirious too.

If you like it, that's great. If you don't like it... just let me know and I'll make some changes. Anyway, I've followed this far, so um, I mean, thank you.
