The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

"I don't want to stay with you in the name of brother anymore."

A suppressed, trembling yet firm voice reached my ears, like a sudden bolt of terrifying lightning.

The sky, the wasteland, the expression and rationality on the face of the young man in front of him were all chopped into fragments.

Jiang Liujing felt that he must be hallucinating.

Otherwise, how could he hear such words from Chi's mouth.

"Are you kidding me, Chi? This isn't funny." He curled his fingers together, pulled the corner of his lower lip stiffly, and forced a smile.

Not brothers? What is Chi talking about?

They are family who have been with each other for so many years, right?

However, facing Jiang Liujing's questioning, Chi just stared at him quietly without saying a word.

Looking at the black-haired boy who was forcing a smile on his face, he was clearly smiling, but it looked like he was crying.

And that smile eventually faded away in his eyes, like an icy lake that was frozen inch by inch.

The air fell into silence for a long time. The boy lowered his head, his long black hair falling to cover his fair face, hiding all expression.

"why?"

When he spoke again, his tone was extremely calm.

It was so calm that it was even a little cold, as if the person standing in front of him was just a stranger.

The sunlight fell on his black hair, reflecting a brilliant golden color, but it could not bring any warmth.

Whether it was the sound of his voice or the aura emanating from his body, it all showed that he was now even colder than ice and snow.

If ordinary people saw him like this, they would probably be so scared that they wouldn't dare to breathe.

But Chi is not like that.

No one knew better than him how afraid Jiang Liujing was of being hurt and how much he liked to pretend.

The more afraid, uneasy, and terrified you are, the colder and more stinging you become.

Chi looked at his hands hidden under the shadow of his clothes, and sure enough, the boy's hands were clenched into fists.

Even though he was trying hard to suppress it, Chi could see him trembling slightly.

Over the years, even when he was assassinated, besieged, and slandered by rumors, Jiang Liujing's emotions had never changed so drastically.

Being able to handle everything calmly is one of the reasons why his followers worship him so fanatically.

But this demeanor is gone at this moment.

Just because of Chi's words.

Chi had been reluctant to speak because he didn't want to see Jiang Liujing like this, but he couldn't hide it any longer.

He overestimated himself, thinking he could live his entire life in the guise of someone Jiang Liujing liked. But he was ultimately a fantasy beast, a fantasy beast with a base nature. His desires not only didn't subside with each repression, but instead grew even stronger.

Just this one loss of control, his desire has spread to Jiang Liujing's entire body. What if there is a next time?

Chi almost suffocated when he thought that one day he would lose control and wake up, and perhaps see his beloved boy lying under him in a disheveled state, with a look of fear and hatred towards him.

Rather than being looked at like that in the future, it is better to show that true self to Jiang Liujing right now.

Just be on guard against Jiang Liujing, at least you won’t be hurt by him personally.

As for whether this step was good or bad, right or wrong, he was completely unable to care.

He had to tell Jiang Liujing everything in full—

"Because of me, I can no longer look at you as a brother."

As if he had used up all his strength, from the moment he uttered the first word, Chi was so frightened that he wanted to tear off his vocal cords.

But he still held back, holding back the desperate feeling of fear and desire to be known that surged in his heart and burned like a raging fire.

He just stared at the boy in front of him for a long time, as if he was staring at a moon that would never be forgotten and hung in his heart.

The young man suddenly raised his head as if realizing something, his cold exterior shattered, and a sudden panic flashed in his clear and beautiful eyes. He stretched out his hand, as if trying to stop him from continuing.

But the low and resolute words had already come out.

"I like you."

"It's not the love between relatives, nor is it the love between friends."

"I'm sorry, Miaomiao, I love you."

Jiang Liujing's hands froze in the air.

His face was full of shock and helplessness.

Time seemed to stand still, and after a long time, he slowly let go of his hand.

"Why...when did it start?" The boy's voice trembled slightly.

Chi frowned, "Very early, very early."

How long ago did it start?

If you trace it back, it might have been two or three years ago.

It wasn't long since Chi had hatched, but the minds and physiology of top-level mythical beasts matured much faster than humans.

Two or three years ago in the spring, he had his first estrus period.

On the first night of the mating season, he was tossing and turning in an unbearable dream that felt like it was burning in flames, but a sudden coolness saved him.

Just like a traveler who is about to die of thirst and finally finds his oasis in the desert, Chi tightly grasped his sweet spring in his dream.

Drink greedily, hug tightly, and build everything of yourself into the other person's body, so that not even a trace can be separated.

And when the dream was about to end and rationality replaced madness, the vague white light shrouding the other person finally dissipated. Chi saw his face clearly and was shocked.

"I saw you." Chi looked at Jiang Liujing and said softly.

It was really strange. After he had said everything out loud, he felt relaxed instead. He was fearless. All the secrets that he had suppressed in the past and dared not let Jiang Liujing know were now revealed to him.

Jiang Liujing opened his mouth for a long time before speaking. He racked his brains to come up with an explanation: "But that might just be because... you and I are the closest."

It’s the most familiar, so even if it appears in this kind of dream, it’s possible.

Chi said firmly, "No, Miaomiao, I know myself."

Seeing that Jiang Liujing still couldn't help but avoid his disbelieving gaze, he simply pointed to his lower body with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "This thing only suddenly becomes hard when I think of you."

"Didn't you ask me before how I learned it? It's like this, you learn it through practice."

Jiang Liujing: "..."

Jiang Liujing has lost the ability to speak.

There was a slight blankness and dullness on his face, as if he was frightened by Chi's straightforward appearance after the showdown.

It's really hard not to be scared.

Ten minutes ago, they were still good brothers with a bond stronger than gold. Ten minutes later, the good brother told him that he had actually wanted to have sex with him for a long time, and had been dreaming about it for two years.

Because of his good humanistic qualities and remaining friendship with Chi, Jiang Liujing did not curse on the spot and turned away.

"So, what's your answer?" Chi still didn't intend to let him go.

The tall young man stood in front of him with a scorching aura, and the shadow cast by his body completely covered the kneeling boy.

But he suddenly squatted down, reducing the sense of oppression all over his body, and lowered his gaze to a position where he could look at Jiang Liujing at eye level, looking at him seriously, waiting for a final answer.

He had confessed his feelings, handed over his cards, and put himself in a position to be judged by Jiang Liujing.

Whether you accept it or reject it.

Chi looked at him steadily, thinking that he would accept any answer Jiang Liujing gave.

His only request was that the answer must come from Jiang Liujing himself.

Chi would not accept any opinions expressed by anyone other than himself.

"Give me some time, let me think about it."

Chi's aura was neither too far nor too close. Normally, Jiang Liujing could approach him freely and openly, but now he felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

He didn't know what Chi was so anxious about. He had just given him a huge surprise, and now he was asking him to give an immediate answer. How could he possibly give one?

Jiang Liujing lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chi. He bit his lower lip and felt very irritated. The tips of his white jade-like ears turned a faint red with embarrassment.

"Okay." Chi agreed generously.

Jiang Liujing kept his head down, so he couldn't see the young man's lips curled up all the time. He was very happy even without getting an answer.

For Chi, confessing all this today without being told to "get lost" by Jiang Liujing in disgust was already a great victory.

What's more, Chi looked at Jiang Liujing's flushed face and ears, and his eyes gradually became deeper.

If his perception wasn't wrong, Miaomiao... didn't seem to be that resistant to him?
