No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Coming out of the ghost realm, I saw Coco sitting on the sofa, pointing at a row of lollipops on the table and muttering to herself, "Who are you eating today? Let me see. I'll call on the soldiers and generals, and whoever I call will be the one..."

After much hesitation, I picked up a lollipop.

"You are the one!"

A hand suddenly appeared and snatched his candy.

"It's mine!" Luo Shiyu said, unwrapping the candy wrapper and stuffing the candy into his mouth. He then took it out again and asked in a joking manner, "Do you want more?"

Coco was so angry that she yelled at him like an exploding toad, "Take it away!"

"Okay! Then I'll respectfully obey your orders and take it."

Luo Shiyu was in a good mood and walked upstairs with a candy in his mouth, pushing open the door of He Gui's office.

There was no one in the house.

【Are you here early? 】

Luo Shiyu sat down at He Gui's office, picked up the document on the table, read two lines, and threw it away.

"It's so densely packed with words that it gives me a headache just looking at it."

Holding a lollipop in his mouth, he held his chin and was in a daze for a while, his eyes attracted by the fat goldfish in the fish tank.

"Is it my imagination? Why do you seem to have gained a lot of weight? Is the food at the base so good?"

"Why don't you try the food at the base and see if it's good?"

Luo Shiyu was startled and looked up at He Gui who was standing beside him.

[When did this guy come back? I didn't even notice.]

She greeted him with a smile: "Are you back?"

He Gui kept his eyes on the candy in Luo Shiyu's mouth without saying a word.

[Why are you staring at me? It makes me feel creepy.]

Quickly find a way to divert your attention.

"Commander Crane, aren't you tired of standing here?"

"You sit in my seat."

Luo Shiyu immediately stood up and gave him his seat.

[No wonder, it turns out he's a stickler for seats.]

He Gui sat down, his eyes still looking at Luo Shiyu.

[I've already given up my seat to you, why are you still looking at me? ]

He Gui suddenly asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Ah?" Luo Shiyu then realized that he was looking at the candy in his mouth.

He pulled it out and handed it to He Gui's mouth. Without thinking, he said politely, "Would you like to try it?"

"You've eaten." (This was just an excuse, out of fear that Luo Shiyu would dislike him. He actually really wanted to eat.)

[What? You still dislike me? Eat it if you want.]

Take the lollipop back and put it in your mouth.

He Gui still looked at him and asked, "What does it taste like?"

"Try it."

"You've eaten."

"..."

"Is it sweet?"

"How about you try it?"

"You've eaten."

Luo Shiyu smiled, feeling that if He Gui asked another question he would start swearing.

However, He Gui still asked: "What's wrong? Is it not delicious?"

Luo Shiyu couldn't bear it any longer, so he held He Gui down and fed him the sweetness in his mouth.

He Gui achieved his goal and closed his eyes in enjoyment, but Luo Shiyu left soon after.

She licked her lips as if she was still unsatisfied and continued to try to find ways to stimulate Luo Shiyu.

“Is this orange flavor?”

"Orange?" Luo Shiyu took two bites of the candy, smacking his lips, and doubting himself. "Isn't it a peach?"

"It's an orange."

Luo Shiyu took another bite, and this time he was sure.

“It’s just peaches.”

"You have a taste problem."

Luo Shiyu pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "Is there something wrong with my sense of taste?"

"Ah."

"Okay, okay, I don't believe it."

He Gui perfectly grasped Luo Shiyu's competitive nature.

With the candy in her mouth, she sat on Hegui's lap, and when she felt the taste was almost strong enough, she fed it to him.

He Gui gripped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, suppressing the urge to respond to him.

Luo Shiyu opened his mouth and asked expectantly, "Is it a peach?"

Who knew He Gui would actually say, "It's an apple."

"Fuck! What a piece of crap candy! It can taste like eight hundred different things!"

〖It's so cute that he gets angry with sugar.〗

Luo Shiyu was angry, not because of the sugar, but because he thought He Gui was not sensitive to taste and was afraid that everything would be in vain in the end.

【At this rate, when can I go home? 】

He Gui looked at the person in his arms who suddenly lost his spiritual energy, and felt inexplicably distressed. He asked, "What happened?"

Luo Shiyu could not hear any concern in his cold tone. In order to prevent He Gui from hating him, he forced a smile and shook his head at him.

"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."

"fine."

〖Luo Shiyu doesn't believe me?〗

I said, will you help me?

Why didn’t you tell me?

[Why can't I melt this piece of ice like you? ]

Did I say something wrong?

【Is there something I haven’t done enough?】

It was quiet like that for a long time.

Luo Shiyu suddenly said, "Big ice cube."

"Ah."

"Are you annoying me?"

"No." (Sincerely.)

"You don't have to comfort me." (I didn't believe it at all.)

"No."

Luo Shiyu sighed deeply and stopped talking.

[I feel like I can’t see the way home.]

He Gui wanted to coax him, but he didn't know what to say. He just looked at him and felt heartbroken in silence.

Another moment passed.

Luo Shiyu suddenly leaned on He Gui's shoulders and hugged him tightly, saying in a nasal voice: "Hold me, He Gui."

He Gui's heart was beating wildly, and he raised his arms stiffly and gently placed them on Luo Shiyu's back.

【Do you dislike me so much? 】

"Isn't it okay to be disliked this way?"

Perhaps unwilling to give up, Luo Shiyu tightened his arms around He Gui and rubbed his neck.

A faint fragrance entered He Gui's nostrils.

〖It smells so good, I seem to have smelled it somewhere before.〗

A picture flashed through He Gui's mind.

Two women were boating. What was flowing in the river was not water but mist, and lotus flowers were growing in the mist.

A woman in green with a beauty spot on the lower right corner of her lip is rowing a boat, carrying a woman in a lotus-pink skirt to pick lotus flowers.

As if she saw someone, the woman in pink jumped and waved at him, looking very spiritual.

The woman in green behind her looked worried.

He Gui covered his head with his hands, his expression painful, and muttered to himself: "Luo Shiyu... Lotus..."

Luo Shiyi thought he was calling him and responded, "What?"

He Gui shook his head. The image that had just flashed through his mind completely disappeared and he couldn't remember it at all.

Luo Shiyu raised his hand and placed it on his forehead.

"You don't have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense? You even called my name wrong. I miss you all day long, and I am exhausted because of you. When the flowers bloom, it's not poetry."

“Why is it taken from this poem?”

"I don't know, but that's what my teacher taught me. By the way, what is the lotus you just mentioned?"

He Gui hesitated whether to say it or not.

Luo Shiyu said coquettishly: "Tell me! You are the best! Tell me, tell me!"

He Gui couldn't stand it and answered truthfully: "Luo Shiyu smells like lotus flowers."

Luo Shiyu's eyes lit up instantly.

"Really? How did you smell it? My friend spent a long time trying to figure out what it was. You have an amazing nose!"

"Well, because I've smelled it somewhere else."

"Is it true? Where is it?"

He Gui thought for a moment and replied, "I don't remember."

"Ok."

"I really don't remember."

Luo Shiyu gave He Gui a light kiss on the lips and said, "I believe it."

"I'll tell you if I remember."

"Well. I should go back."

"Ah."

Luo Shiyu stood up and walked to the door.

He Gui was full of reluctance and watched him go.

Luo Shiyu suddenly stopped, turned around and said to He Gui: "Oh yes, I almost forgot, I have a mission tomorrow, I need to ask for leave from you."

He Gui was a little unhappy but still nodded in agreement.

Just as the office door was about to close, He Gui suddenly asked, "How long will you be gone?"

"not sure."

"Ah."

Come back soon, I will miss you. In the end, I couldn't say these words.
