Chapter 42: CH 34.1

As long as two Lu Lis merges into one, then Xie Jianwei’s workload would become much lighter, and he only needs to patiently comfort one person.

It is relatively easier to appease one individual. After all, loyalty cannot be expressed to two people.

Xie Jianwei wanted to get two personalities in one fell swoop, but as the two Lu Li became one, he was abruptly ejected from the dream.

Yan Ke: “…”

Xie Jianwei was not too surprised: “The dream is over?”

Yan Ke said: “Yes …”

Xie Jianwei sighed. He turned his head and looked at the sleeping man. I want to kiss him and at the same time beat him up.

“It’s a pity, we could have done both of them in one go!” Yan Ke lamented.

Xie Jianwei didn’t say anything. What he was more worried about is whether Lu Li, who is merged into one, would be vigilant.

Well there’s nothing he could about it. The last dream ended in such a way, so this already the best outcome, for now.

Yan Ke asked him: “My Lord, do you want to continue, or you’re going to have a rest first?”

“Let’s take a break. I have some plans tomorrow.” Xie Jianwei replied.

“Understood.”

Xie Jianwei thought about something: “The day after tomorrow is Lorren’s birthday. You’re going?”

Yan Ke blinked: “He did gave me an invitation, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.”

“Then, let’s go together.” said Xie Jianwei.

Yan Ke said assertively, “My special recordings will sell for a lot of money!” (t/n: YK was recording all of Lorren’s actions in the dreamscape. He’s planning to extort something from Lorren in exchange for those  (￣∇￣) )

Xie Jianwei just smiled and said: “Don’t mess around. I haven’t told Lorren about Lu Li’s treatment.”

“I understand. But when that time comes,, you must tell me.” Yan Ke humorously added.

“…Okay…”

********

It was already midnight, and Lu Li was still sleeping soundly.

Xie Jianwei sat by the bed and stared at him deeply.

It wasn’t until now that he could finally understand more of Lu Li’s thoughts.

It was said that people don’t cherish things that they got without difficulty.  But sometimes, it’s rather the contrary: The easier you got something, the more you’ll cherish it.

Why?

Because losing it would be quite easy too.

What people had obtained with effort means that they had the ability to win it over— even if they loses it, there is always a chance to get it back with the same, if not more, effort. But if it was simply given, there would always be a looming feeling that one day, it would be taken back from them effortlessly—  without direction, without knowing how they got it in the first place, retrieving it would be impossible.

That’s why Lu Li had always felt so uneasy.

Xie Jianwei caressed Lu Li’s eyebrows and murmured: “You fool.”

********

The capital star’s sunshine was bright and dazzling in the early morning, covering the house with a layer of golden light, which brought a wave of warmth.

Xie Jianwei felt a big hand  touching him all over. He slightly turned his head, grabbed the mischievous hand, and kissed its owner’s lips.

“If you are tired, sleep more.” The voice said.

This Lu Big Li is being good? Since when? Xie Jianwei was preoccupied with such questions when suddenly, he was entered from behind.

The abrupt stimulation in his most sensitive part made Xie Jianwei breathe heavily.  He was still somewhat sleepy, but he tried to open his eyes as he scolded Lu Li: “Oh come on, go out!”

Lu Li kissed his neck, and said warmly: “I’ll continue sleeping with you.”

Sleep? There is an ‘iron bar’ inside him! How could he continue his sleep?!

Lu Li didn’t listen to Xie Jianwei and just continued to hug him from behind.

Xie Jianwei couldn’t sleep at all, since that place desired for more stimulation. He sighed and said: “Move”

But Lu Li just said “No. You’re still sleepy.”

Xie Jianwei: “…… “

In fact, Lu Li was finding it hard to suppress his desires. He buried it inside XIe Jianwei but he couldn’t move roughly, so he could only endure with it by light rubbing.

Xie Jianwei groaned comfortably.

Lu Li also wanted to be patient, but because of the Military Advisor’s response, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and started moving vigorously.

Anyway, let’s dive in first!

.

.

.

After their ‘exercise’, the two took a shower. Xie Jianwei was so tired he couldn’t even move his fingers. The Marshal, however, was full of spirit and brimming with energy.

He hugged Xie Jianwei and carried him to the bed. He kissed him on his torn red lips and asked, “What do you want to have for breakfast?”

Xie Jianwei looked at him lazily without a saying anything.

Lu Li knew his taste in food: “There should be some Asari fruit, should I let someone make some sweet cakes for you? I’ll also order some Roffeeti milk. By the way, how was the Honey Fruit puree last time? If you like it, I will let some people pick a few more of it.”

These are most popular and expensive food and drinks in the entire Milky Way.

Asari is a small fruit with a soft taste, sweet but not greasy. It can be found on a ruined star with a chaotic magnetic field, so procuring it costs a lot. It is expensive and rare, but the fruit is indeed quite delicious.

Honey Fruit puree is a special product of the Beasts’ star. This Beast star is uncivilized. The biggest hobby of its inhabitants is watching planes. When they see something flying, they would start to spraying water towards that object and this “water” is extremely corrosive. Once a spacecraft is smeared with this particular liquid, its defense and power system would malfunction, instantly turning it into nothing but a pile of scrap iron. So no matter how good the Honey Fruit puree tastes like and how nutritious it is, people always have trouble acquiring it.

Of course, no matter how rare it is, as long as Military Advisor Xie likes it, the Lord Marshal would do his best to obtain it.

Xie Jianwei looked at him for a while, and then slowly spoke: “I want to eat something you’ve made.”

Lu Li was stunned.

Xie Jianwei stretched his arms and the other instinctively embraced him in his arms. He kissed Lu Li’s lips and said, “Don’t go anywhere today. Stay with me, okay?”

His Military Advisor… is he being coquettish? Lord Marshal almost turned into a beast as he wanted to do his lover right then and there.

Xie Jianwei said again: “You don’t have to make something difficult, just make a … umm … milk sandwich okay?” (t/n: uhm the food names are truly questionable but I guess let’s just keep in mind that they’re in a very futuristic era.)

When he was still fighting on the battlefield, Lu Li would still cook simple foods but now that he became a Marshal and the Lord of the Empire, he had no time to enter the kitchen.

He’d been in a few dreams now, but Xie Jianwei still misses the food that Lu Li makes. I always feel that something’s missing while eating Lu Li’s foods in my dream, so now I can get some satisfaction in reality.

Lu Li confirmed: “Really want to eat?”

“Yes.”

Lu Li looked down at Xie Jianwei: the man was leaning sloppily in his arms and had a very beautiful body. He was even better compared to the flowers under the dewdrops early in the morning that people couldn’t help but put it gently I their palm, then kiss it….

The Lord Marshal felt that his throat was becoming dry, “Hungry?”

“Yes—ah ……” Xie Jianwei suddenly felt an itchy sensation on his chest.

Lu Li was biting those pink nubs and said vaguely, “Then wait a little longer.”

“Lu Big Li! You better stop!” said the annoyed Xie Jianwei.

Lu Li who was acting like rogue replied “But I am Little Li.”

Little Li your fart! Xie Jianwei really wished that he could beat that ‘Big Li‘ into a ‘Little Li’!

After messing with Xie Jianwei, the satisfied Marshal went to make a breakfast.

It was almost ten o’clock by the time Xie Jianwei sat at the dining table.

What kind of breakfast is this?

Lu Li sat across from him, a pair of black eyes full of expectation.

Xie Jianwei slightly glared at him, but the corner of his mouth couldn’t stop rising.

“Try it.” Lu Li coaxed him,

It’s not just milk sandwich on the table. On the contrary, it’s nothing like you’d for breakfast at all.

The shrimp and crab porridge was simmered until it’s soft, thick and fragrant, and was pleasing to the eye. The steamed meat dumplings were white and plump, accompanied by a few plates of refreshing side dishes…

Xie Jianwei looked at his Marshal’s handsome face and suddenly felt suffocated.

He wanted to beat him up after waking up from the dream, but now that he was being ‘good’, Xie Jianwei became soft-hearted.

The Lord Marshal said: “If you think that it tastes good, then we can discuss a little reward…”

“What kind of reward do you want?”

The Lord Marshal pointed his fingers at the white apron hanging on the side rack: “Ah-Wei wearing that, while begging me to do it in the kitchen…”

“Get out!” Xie Jianwei blushed. I take that back! I’m not going to be soft-hearted this time. This bastard really deserves a beating!

Lu Li stopped talking, but his eyes were clearly saying that he hadn’t let go of that apron-play.

The breakfast was quite delicious. He took care of Xie Jianwei while eating— he stuck himself beside Xie Jianwei as he thoughtfully served the latter with food— just like a sticky large dog.

Xie Jianwei remembered the nickname “Little Wolf Dog” and his heart started melting. He glanced at the apron … and quickly withdrew his eyes.

What a mess!

*******

“Do you have any arrangements for today?” Lu Li asked him after they finished eating their breakfast.

Xie Jianwei, of course, has no arrangements. He just wanted to stay with Lu Li, so he wanted to do nothing but just nestle in the house. But would they really just cuddle with each other the whole day? That beast will more or less tear and eat him thoroughly while making him wear that abominable apron… Then their whole day would probably be just the same as night.

And so, Xie Jianwei hurriedly said: “Let’s go on a date.”

“Date?” Lu Li was surprised, but he immediately smiled, “Okay.”

The smile was subtle, but the extreme joy behind those eyes which seemed like a blooming flower couldn’t be hidden at all.

Xie Jianwei’s heart trembled as he continued, “Let’s go to the Bubble Star, just the two of us.”

The Bubble Star is one of the Milky Way’s tourist destinations. It focuses on fantasy-and -romance theme, and is a dating place for couples.

Lu Li couldn’t help but ask him: “Ah-Wei, you …” Because he was so surprised, he began to be more conscious.

Xie Jianwei glanced at him: “What? You don’t want to go?”

“Go! I want to go!”

The Lord Marshal started to prepare. He actually had a lot of things to do, but what could be more important than Xie Jianwei?

This seems to be the first time … at least for me, that Xie Jianwei asked me to go out to play.

Lu Li’s heart twitched, and his eyes darkened.

Thinking that Xie Jianwei would do these things with others, the sweetness in his chest began to sour. (t/n: Lu Li is referring to other personalities. It’s possible that Xie Jianwei had asked him in past while a different personality had taken charge of his body, that’s why he said ‘at least for me’)

Xie Jianwei told him: “Bring two camouflage devices.”

Both of them are well-known figures. If they visit the Bubble Star without hiding their identity, they would probably be treated like rare animals in a zoo with all the people watching them.

Lu Li was properly made arrangements.

The camouflage instrument is very convenient. A person doesn’t need to change anything in his physical appearance because after wearing it, it can deceive human eyes, and the disparity of what they see and the actual appearance of something would have a big difference.

Both of them wore special lenses, which allowed them to see through camouflage devices.

Everything was ready, and Lu Li booked for the latest spacecraft design in the special package.

The color he chose could make people doubt his age.

Xie Jianwei smiled at him: “How old is the Lord Marshal this year?”

Lu Li hugged him: “Eighteen years old. It’s the age where love starts to bloom inside a person.”

Xie Jianwei smiled and said, “Have some dignity.”

The shameless Marshal rubbed the tip of his nose: “When I’m with you, I’m just an eighteen-year-old kid.”

""

If he hadn’t squeezed Xie Jianwei’s butt, Xie Jianwei would have believed it.

Lu Li put Xie Jianwei on the co-pilot seat, and he also got on the aircraft.

The small aircraft was obviously very fashionable, not to mention all the facilities, its speed was really fast.

Even a seasoned fighter like Military Advisor Xie, was shocked by the violent thrust when the aircraft started.

Lu Li asked him: “Cool, isn’t it?”

Xie Jianwei: “…”

The Marshal looked straight ahead, and then suddenly, a sentence came out from his mouth: “The first time I rode on a starship, you also asked me that way.”

Xie Jianwei recalled that time when the two of them were left on a desolate, barren star. He had limited materials on hand, so the starship he built was quite simple and the balance system was very basic. For those reasons, the back thrust of the engine was also intense. He was afraid that Lu Li could not adapt, so he asked that question nonsensically.

How did Lu Li answer at that time? Xie Jianwei couldn’t remember.

“It’s been so long, yet you still remembered.”

Lu Li glanced at him, “I will never forget anything about you.”

Xie Jianwei turned his head and smiled: “Were you happy then?”

“Happy, very happy.” Lu Li knew the exact feeling he had at that time, but his lover didn’t. On that desolate star, ever since Xie Jianwei began to build a starship, he began panicking inside as well.

Xie Jianwei is leaving, flying away from the planet, and he’s leaving me behind.

— This sentence entangled his mind every single day, and prevented him from sleeping every night like a spell, but he dared not ask for him stay. He could only watch, and let his heart be frozen amidst the snowstorm swirling inside him.

As the starship gradually developed, Lu Li continued feeling uneasy and the moment Xie Jianwei finished building it, he was shrouded in despair, like a prisoner waiting for his death sentence.

But in the end, Xie Jianwei took me with him. No one could describe the happiness he felt the moment he stepped inside that spaceship.

Xie Jianwei was silent while Lu Li reminisced their past.  Afterwards he asked, “You thought I would go by myself and leave you there alone?”

“You didn’t say anything after all.” answered Lu Li.

A rare embarrassment showed in Xie Jianwei’s face:  “I didn’t think too much at that time. There’s only the two of us on that star, so how could I leave you there?” He thought it was already a given that he was coming with him, but apparently, he got Lu Li upset for so long.

Lu Li raised his hand and pinched the other’s cheek: “Well, even if you didn’t take me with you, I will definitely find you again.”

Xie Jianwei vaguely felt that there was something unusual in that remark, but the thought flashed too fast for him to capture its meaning.

His attention diverted into Lu Li started his antics: “Ah-Wei, this spaceship also has an interesting function.” He pressed the pink button, and the original seat instantly changed.

Xie Jianwei’s legs got spreaded apart, like person ready for some XXOO action. (t/n: don’t mistake this for xoxo. It refers to the act of entering or exiting during s*x.)

Military Adviser Xie: “……”

Lu Li: “Take off your pants then let’s get some exercise.”

Military Adviser Xie became angry: “LU LITTLE LI!”

Lu Li cleared his throat, and he pressed the pink button again. The chair instantly returned to its original state.

“Every single day! Can’t you think about something more serious?” Xie Jianwei scolded the Marshal.

“Well, it’s your fault for seducing me every day.” Lu Li rebutted.

“When did I seduce you?”

The Lord Marshal said: “When you look at me, when ypu speak, your body— everything about you hooks me.”

He turned his head and continued, “It’s good that we’re going to wear camouflage devices, otherwise I will definitely change your clothes.”

“What’s wrong with my clothes?”Xie Jianwei was flabbergasted.  It’s a normal custom suit.

“It wraps your butt so tightly …” the Marshal said shamelessly.

“You’re a pervert.” Xie Jianwei rebutted with a reddened face.

Lu Li became even more brazen: “But nevertheless an upright and honorable one.”

Xie Jianwei smirked:  “You’re acting like a naïve eighteen year old kid, when obviously, you’re already an old hooligan with a brain full of nothing but waste.”

Lu Li switched the aircraft to autopilot, and approached him: “Isn’t it because I love you too much.”

Xie Jianwei’s heart skipped a bit, but he pushed still him: “I love you too, but it’s not like you …”

Lu Li actually smiled, “You are thin-skinned.”

There aren’t many people with a skin as thick as yours, Xie Jianwei thought.

Lu Li blinked at him and asked, “Ah-Wei, do you feel comfortable having sex with me?”

Xie Jianwei’s ears reddened, but he nodded, “Comfortable.”

“I also feel very comfortable.” Lu Li’s voice suddenly became deep. Making love is already the most intimate thing among lovers, but why do I still feel unsatisfied? What else do I need to do in order for him to become truly mine?

Translator’s note(s):

This is kinda late, but I wanted to say that you can ignore translator’s notes in superscripts(t/n: LIKE THIS) especially if you’ve been reading Chinese novels for a long time. If you don’t understand the translated sentence, then read  the notes; but if you already do, then just skip it. However, if I put it in normal size (t/n: LIKE THIS), it means I want you to read it before proceeding, since it’s important to remember such notes.
