Chapter 86 Keep a Close Eye on Me

Xi Mingzhu disinfected and cleaned Lu Tiannan's wounds. Lu Tiannan still wanted to hug him and play around, but Xi Mingzhu frowned slowly as he looked at the injured and restless man.

"In such a hurry as today?"

Lu Tiannan blinked, his tone innocent.

"Brother, I can wait, it's just that my body doesn't cooperate."

"Brother, please be kind and let us all get some rest so that our wounds can heal properly."

Lu Tiannan hugged Xi Mingzhu and rubbed against her.

Xi Mingzhu had assumed Lu Tiannan's injuries were minor or nonexistent when he was carried on her shoulder. Only after witnessing a deep knife wound did she realize that whether the man cried out in pain or not was entirely at his whim.

If you want someone to pamper you, you'll cry out in pain.

If you don't want people to worry, just keep quiet.

"Don't be ridiculous."

“How could this be nonsense? Normal physiological needs need to be met, brother. Everyone has seven emotions and six desires. We don’t seek immortality or enlightenment here. Even if you cultivated the path of ruthlessness, you should have broken your vows for me long ago.”

What Xi Mingzhu cared about was not what Lu Tiannan said at all; from beginning to end, he was worried about Lu Tiannan's injury.

"The wound will reopen."

"Then, brother, would you please sit down and do it yourself?"

"..." Xi Mingzhu remained silent as Lu Tiannan gazed at him expectantly.

Seeing that Xi Mingzhu had tacitly agreed to compromise, 0561 decisively retreated back into the system space. Back in the space, he was still pondering whether he was too useless, which led to his lack of presence.

It's a system that was hired through a proper process, so why is it so clueless? Now, just like the host, I'm full of questions that I can't get answered.

It's as if it's been banished to the frontier by the main system, dragging down the first host, Mingzhu, who was bound to it.

This matter cannot be accomplished by Xi Mingzhu alone.

Lu Tiannan still couldn't just sit and wait to eat meat. If Xi Mingzhu prepared himself, he would probably have to endure it for another hour or so.

Xi Mingzhu felt that it was about time and hadn't made any move when Lu Tiannan grabbed her waist.

"Brother, why am I enduring this pitiful pain? I know you feel sorry for me, and I don't want you to feel pain either."

Xi Mingzhu's indifferent face was slightly altered by the redness at the corners of her eyes.

Master Xi, who never imagined his hands would be used for such things, kept trying new things for Lu Tiannan.

Lu Tiannan only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was possible.

Seeing that Lu Tiannan was not in a good mood, Xi Mingzhu propped himself up and kissed him to comfort him, just like Lu Tiannan had kissed him.

Lu Tiannan was enjoying himself, but now there was a place he wanted to enjoy even more, and he couldn't resist.

When he opened his mouth again, his voice was hoarse and full of desire.

"Brother, stop teasing me."

"Ah."

Xi Mingzhu bit her lower lip, every movement was difficult.

He probably won't get used to Lu Tiannan; every time it's like a completely new experience.

A strange feeling was clearly transmitted.

Lu Tiannan still remembered that Xi Mingzhu's lower lip took several days to heal last time. When this person was conscious, he still had some sense of propriety, but when he wasn't conscious, he would bite again and not care about his pain.

Lu Tiannan couldn't understand why they did this—it would have sounded better if they had just let their voices out, but by enduring it like this, they seemed like easy targets.

"Brother, don't bite your lip, kiss me, okay? Biting me is the same."

Seeing that Xi Mingzhu ignored him, Lu Tiannan touched Xi Mingzhu's waist and said softly, "Brother Mingzhu? Why are you ignoring me?"

Xi Mingzhu couldn't help but shudder, while Lu Tiannan seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

Brother Mingzhu shouted enthusiastically, one call after another.

Xi Mingzhu stopped, unable to bear it any longer, and said, "Lu Tiannan."

Lu Tiannan looked at Xi Mingzhu innocently, "I'm here."

"Quiet down, don't shout."

"Why are you shouting like that? Aren't you my Brother Mingzhu? Whose Brother Mingzhu do you want to be?"

"No one."

Even in this situation, Xi Mingzhu still considered Lu Tiannan's feelings.

Lu Tiannan thought to himself that he couldn't be too irresponsible; what kind of person would he be if he always bullied those who were good to him?

"I won't call you Brother Mingzhu... My husband loves me~"

Xi Mingzhu's pupils reflected nothing but shock.

The husband he knew was equivalent to the husband in their world. If this "husband" didn't have any other meaning, then Lu Tiannan was truly...

"You have such a mouth—" I just can't do anything with you.

Xi Mingzhu silenced Lu Tiannan with a kiss, the softness of her lips and tongue preventing Lu Tiannan from uttering any other words.

In the latter half of the night, Xi Mingzhu fell into a deep sleep, while Lu Tiannan's wounds had already reopened.

Lu Tiannan didn't care at all; he would definitely prioritize dealing with Xi Mingzhu's matter. Only after finishing did he re-treat his own wounds. Although the bandages weren't very neat, they were enough to cover them up.

Lu Tiannan fell asleep happily with Xi Mingzhu in his arms. The next day, when 0561 came out, the mosaic he saw was much less than the last time.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Xi Mingzhu opened his eyes, 0561 and Lu Tiannan spoke at the same time.

Good morning, host!

"Good morning, brother."

"morning."

Lu Tiannan and Xi Mingzhu have been wearing matching outfits since their first encounter in the game.

After washing up, Lu Tiannan lazily sat in a chair and looked at the messages on his phone.

"Brother, want to go for drinks tonight?"

Without even thinking, Xi Mingzhu said, "You can't drink because you're injured."

Lu Tiannan didn't cause too much trouble last night, so Xi Mingzhu was able to function almost normally today. Walking was slightly affected, but it wasn't noticeable when walking slowly.

"I won't drink it, I'll watch my brother drink it."

"Jiang Yuzhou and Jiang Muyu are going too."

Judging from what Lu Tiannan said, it must be a gathering at Paradise Lost.

What would I do at your party?

“My brother is family, so I can’t drink. So my brother can drink it for me.” Lu Tiannan rested his chin on his hand and looked at Xi Mingzhu with a smile.

Xi Mingzhu definitely can't drink much; Master Xi has absolutely no experience with drinking, he's practically incapable of anything.

But Lu Tiannan's insistence made Xi Mingzhu realize that this was likely not just about the gathering, but something else entirely.

"it is good."

After the meal, in the lounge, Xi Mingzhu took some time to refine pills, which greatly discouraged Lu Tiannan.

He felt like he had fallen out of favor. Even though they were in the same room, his brother Mingzhu acted as if he couldn't see him. Even the alchemy furnace was more favored than him. He sighed.

Even so, Lu Tiannan remained obedient and didn't make a sound.

As afternoon approached, Xi Mingzhu gave Lu Tiannan a pill, which Lu Tiannan swallowed without saying a word.

Soon after, I could clearly feel the granulation tissue growing in the wound.

So that's why she refined the elixir...

Overjoyed, Lu Tiannan hugged Xi Mingzhu and rubbed against him, saying, "Brother, you care about me so much, I'm so touched I could cry."

Xi Mingzhu calmly asked, "Not crying means you weren't moved enough?"

"No, it's not a good habit for my brother to want to see me cry."

Lu Tiannan looked at Xi Mingzhu with a lazy smile, his tone low and teasing.

Xi Mingzhu isn't suffering from amnesia. This guy has said it many times in bed—"Brother, you look so beautiful when you cry."

Recalling these thoughts, Xi Mingzhu bit Lu Tiannan's chin, and Lu Tiannan immediately gasped in pain.

"Your habits are good?"

Lu Tiannan was amused by this and hugged the person even tighter.
