Chapter 59: The Dream
Sunlight shone down on the snowfield, the Meconopsis stretched in the wind, and between the dense forests of the cliff, a few leaves slowly fell.
The higher branches swayed ceaselessly, casting layered shadows on the ground, while the thickest trunk below also trembled, its rustling sound blurring out other noises that did not belong here.
“Is this all there is?”
Glancing at the memory leaves scattered at his feet under the tree, the Guide’s tone was meaningful, as if he were hinting at something.
Hearing this, the calf resting on his shoulder trembled even more violently. It spasmed and tried hard to hook him, so that he could barely hang on by himself, without the other person having to go to the trouble of holding him.
“…Yes… it’s all here.” Zhu Hui tilted his head back, the back of his head pressed hard against the tree trunk behind him. His eyes had closed at some point, and his face was covered in physiological tears. The excess dripped down his jawline to his neck and collarbone, coating his skin with a reflective film of water.
“Are you sure there are no more?”
Xu Xunyue pinched both his knee pits, neither too lightly nor too heavily. He suddenly took half a step forward, approaching the tree trunk that the Sentinel’s back was pressed against.
The insertion deepened without any warning, leaving the Sentinel with even less space. And because there was a tree behind him and his legs were also restrained, he had no room to move at all, and could only whimper and shake his head, saying, “Really, there are no more, brother. I wouldn’t lie to you.”
He said it so sincerely, and he looked so obedient, but the object of his coquettish goodwill was noncommittal, not replying, and directly lifted him up by his knee pits.
The legs that had been hooked to secretly save Xu Xunyue some effort were parted. There were very few places to support himself. Now, Zhu Hui had completely lost control of his body.
The Sentinel’s superior physical fitness was brought to its extreme at this time. His slender and powerful body was almost completely folded, yet he did not show any signs of discomfort. His tensed abdominal muscles were both tough and soft enough, with a slight bulge in the center.
Zhu Hui’s mind went blank. He didn’t even know what sound he was making. He was almost unaware of where he was and what was happening now.
After entering the spiritual landscape again, he had followed his brother’s instructions and had found all the memory leaves that recorded their intimacy. His brother should be satisfied with his actions, so this was not a punishment now.
Then, was it a reward?
…Actually, it didn’t matter if it was a punishment or a reward. Anyway, he had gotten it. It was just that he had gotten too much, and his five senses couldn’t bear it.
But it was fine. The person doing this to him now was his brother, and his brother was the most powerful Guide in the world. Even if his five senses couldn’t bear it, there would be no problem. His brother would not harm him.
“How did I find this?”
Perhaps because he was dizzy and his reaction was delayed, Xu Xunyue’s voice seemed to come from a very far away place, faint and with a hint of inscrutability.
“I remember, I don’t think I’ve ever done this kind of thing to my Sentinel,” he said. “How do you have this memory?”
“…”
Zhu Hui reacted for two seconds before he opened his eyes, which were a little swollen from crying in the spiritual world, with difficulty and looked at Xu Xunyue.
Unlike him, there was not a single mark on the other’s body. He had held back his strength the entire time, and even the hand around his neck had its palm facing up, with the back of his hand against him, for fear of scratching him when he lost self-control.
The other’s long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, his breathing was still regular, but his face was flushed from the exertion, revealing a hint of the forbidden feeling of being in love.
Those ice-blue eyes were like a vortex, capable of swallowing anyone who looked into them.
So beautiful.
How can brother be so charming? Such a good brother is all mine. I love being treated like this by brother.
I should have tied myself up and seduced brother sooner. Maybe if I had seduced him sooner, I could have eaten sooner…
“Look up there,” Xu Xunyue reminded him. “Look at the lowest branch of this tree, that fan-shaped leaf.”
There was a hint of a mischievous smile in his voice, as if he had already guessed everything, and had only asked that just now to tease his Sentinel.
The Sentinel, whose mind was a mess from being investigated, still hadn’t reacted. He just listened to his words, and panting, he obediently looked up.
Just as Xu Xunyue had said, on the lowest branch of the tree trunk he was leaning against, there was indeed a fan-shaped leaf.
It had not been plucked by Zhu Hui just now, but was growing well on the tree. At this moment, it was diligently playing the segment of the scene it had recorded. The sound of the scene was very low, and only in this quiet environment could one vaguely hear a thing or two.
The background of the scene it recorded was very familiar to both of them—a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, a two-seater sofa against the wall, a hard redwood desk in the center of the room, and on the desk, there were even documents and a new computer from the White Tower’s Guide Academy…
Without a doubt, this was Xu Xunyue’s office at the Guide Academy.
Zhu Hui often ran to his office to find him, so it wasn’t strange for this background to appear in his memory.
However, Xu Xunyue had no impression of the scene in the memory leaf.
In the scene, the young Sentinel, wearing only the upper part of his black combat uniform, had his hands tied behind his back with a red silk ribbon. And he was standing behind the Sentinel, pulling his hands to press him against the floor-to-ceiling window.
The young Sentinel’s situation was extremely pitiful. He was being bumped so that he had to press against the glass in front, and at the same time, his hands were being pulled back, making it impossible for him to escape the restraint from behind. His legs were so weak they were a mess. If it weren’t for the connection pinning him, he probably would have knelt directly on the floor.
And so, after a while, he was lifted onto the long, hard redwood desk where the documents were placed.
First, he was lying on his back, open, and was bullied once. Then he was turned over, his upper body lying on the desk, and was thoroughly taken once. His two military boots, spread far apart, repeatedly shifted slightly on the floor.
Later, there was the sofa, the wall, his back against the door… The richness of the content was astounding.
The only problem was that this had never happened.
“Little Hui,” Xu Xunyue’s lips curled into a smile, asking a question he already knew the answer to. “Tell me, when did the event recorded on this leaf happen?”
Zhu Hui trembled at his question and directly surrendered once, completely unable to speak. His entrance contracted in a stress response, but it only made the Guide raise an eyebrow slightly, and by the way, become even more excessive.
Zhu Hui simply didn’t know what to say.
That day in the office, his brother had played with him with his fingers for most of the afternoon. As a result, he had had this messy dream that night.
When he woke up the next day, he felt both stimulated and sorry for his brother.
He had been punished for disturbing his brother’s work. His brother was definitely a person who separated public and private matters, and would never fool around with him in the office like that. Yet he had imagined his brother like that in his dream…
He of course couldn’t possibly tell Xu Xunyue about this dream.
He hadn’t told him, yet it had been brought up at this time. The dream, full of his personal fantasies, was laid bare before his bonded Guide, replaying over and over, and they were now doing something similar.
*This is too chaotic—*Zhu Hui thought he was being chaotic.
It was all his fault for having such a messy dream. Now look what happened.
“…That, um… it was a dream I had, brother…”
Even if it was embarrassing to say, he still had to tell the truth. He didn’t dare to look Xu Xunyue in the eye at all, and could only shift his gaze slightly to the side.
“So you like the treatment in this dream?” The smile in Xu Xunyue’s voice had still not dissipated.
He really did find it a little amusing. It was a complete accident that he had discovered this “strange” memory leaf. Even Zhu Hui himself had temporarily forgotten about the existence of this leaf and the possible impact it could have. Otherwise, he could have just used another tree.
Although discovering the leaf was an accident, Xu Xunyue was not very surprised that his Sentinel would dream of such things.
Otherwise, how could he be his Sentinel? He also knew that Zhu Hui definitely liked this kind of dream. It was just that at that time, he could only think about it and not eat it. He had probably been secretly anxious for a while, and the red silk ribbon used to tie his wrists this time… needless to say, the inspiration came from this dream.
“If you like it, we can try it next time you come to my office as a family member,” he pinched Zhu Hui’s flushed face. “What do you think, sweetie?”
“I like it… mmm, I think it’s very good,” Zhu Hui wrapped his arms around his neck, looking a little surprised, and said in a soft voice, “Thank you, brother.”
Xu Xunyue looked him up and down for a while, and an association flashed through his mind.
He suddenly said, “Have you ever had an ice cream puff?”
Zhu Hui said, “I had it when I was a child.”
The childhood he was referring to was, of course, the childhood before the Cataclysm, during the peaceful and prosperous period of the Empire. At that time, there were four seasons in a year, and even children from not-so-wealthy commoner families could eat desserts.
After the Cataclysm, the temperature dropped sharply, and all foods related to “cold” and “cool” were no longer favored by people. Ice cream puffs were naturally among them.
“I had it when I was a child too.”
Xu Xunyue took a small step forward, and the Sentinel in his arms, who was caught off guard, immediately let out a muffled grunt. The liquid that had filled him to the brim overflowed a little.
He smiled and commented, “I feel like you’re very much like this.”
He was originally a cool and refreshing pheromone, but he was also coated with a layer of sweetness.
Like an ice cream puff with too much filling, it had been played with in his hands for a long time before being completely eaten. The cream inside had melted a little, and there were white spots on many places on the outside, and white foam was slowly overflowing from the places where it had been opened.
A soft and delicious ice cream puff.
After this trip to the spiritual world, it was already past three in the morning. Xu Xunyue’s undried long hair had naturally dried.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was holding back, afraid of bullying his Sentinel too much the first time, if he had stayed a little longer, it would probably be dawn.
Zhu Hui was pulled out of the spiritual world by him, but his soul hadn’t come back with him. He was even staring blankly at the place on his lower abdomen that had been bulging before, looking completely stupefied.
He was still sitting in Xu Xunyue’s arms in the same position as before. Xu Xunyue held him and waited for him to come back to his senses. His palm landed on the Sentinel’s back, and he felt a wet and slippery touch.
He looked down again.
The front was also the same.
He hadn’t done anything in the real world, yet he had still lost his armor.
Now, it was clearly a touch without any other meaning, yet he was still trembling from being touched.
He’s already so sensitive… Xu Xunyue withdrew his hand, pondering Zhu Hui’s physical reaction in his heart.
After a long moment, he asked directly, “Do you feel that this is not good? You should be able to feel your body changing. According to a Sentinel’s original physiological structure, this kind of situation is impossible.”
If he didn’t like it, he should be able to find a corresponding solution.
Zhu Hui was still a little dazed. After a few seconds, he moved his hand from his lower abdomen with some slowness, hugged Xu Xunyue’s waist, and began to nuzzle into his arms stickily.
“No… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it,” his answer was exceptionally direct. “It was meant for brother to use anyway. This is very convenient. I’m very happy.”
