Qin Che arrived three days later anyway.
Before coming, he had contacted Ji Weishi via light brain ahead of time, clarifying that he didn’t mean anything by it and certainly wasn’t coveting Ji Weishi’s lover. He was simply curious to know Shen Buqi’s second gender because he had found it very strange that Shen Buqi didn’t have a gland when he saw him last time.
Ji Weishi had merely replied with an “Oh,” and then spent half the day holding Shen Buqi, licking and biting him all over.
Qin Che’s original intention in sending the message was to subtly tell Ji Weishi to restrain himself a bit, considering he was going to look at Shen Buqi’s nape, and his experience last time… tsk, the vibes had been terrible.
He hadn’t expected it to backfire completely, instead triggering a fierce, protective desire to guard his food in Ji Weishi.
This turned out great, far from letting anyone touch it, just looking at the crisscrossing, mottled red marks on Shen Buqi’s nape was enough to make Qin Che break out in a cold sweat.
In his mind, Qin Che cursed Ji Weishi as an absolute beast. Ji Weishi had better pray that Shen Buqi wasn’t the person he was looking for, otherwise… his gaze darkened, no matter what, he wouldn’t let Ji Weishi off.
Even if adding Ji Weishi meant a complete falling out with all the other Protectors, he had nothing to fear.
It wasn’t like he hadn’t done something similar before anyway.
However, the result was disappointing. Although Shen Buqi didn’t have a gland, he was indeed a Beta, just with a unique body condition that was not fully developed.
Qin Che checked several times, and finally, he smiled helplessly, lowering his dark golden eyes as a touch of gentle disappointment washed over him. “Apologies, it was presumptuous of me.”
Ji Weishi straightened the collar for the person in his arms, looking thoroughly satisfied and sated. “Since you’ve finished looking, please don’t come back to bother my lover in the future, Lord Executive.”
Qin Che’s eyelashes drooped slightly, looking utterly dejected. “I won’t come back again.”
Because he had already used every possible method to turn District 7 completely upside down.
If he wasn’t there, he wasn’t there.
But Qin Che wasn’t exactly a benevolent person either, if he was unhappy, there was no reason to let Ji Weishi live comfortably. He left behind a line. “However, you’d better return to District 4 soon, because…”
He let out a cold laugh, “Because everyone misses you very much, you know.”
Ji Weishi was so angry he wanted to drag him back and beat him up. Everyone knew he had bad blood with several other districts. District 4 was currently stable enough, but if he stayed away for too long… Qi Qiushui and the other S-class Arbitrators might just throw him some kind of “surprise.”
But right now, his susceptibility period hadn’t completely passed yet. According to what Qin Che said, an S-class Alpha’s first susceptibility period after reaching adulthood was quite special, lasting anywhere from three months to half a year.
During this period, his mental power could go berserk at any moment, and he required regular mental soothing from someone every day.
Mental soothing usually had to be performed by someone with higher level mental power on someone with lower level mental power. However, Shen Buqi seemed to have a unique constitution, he could both receive soothing from lower level mental power and soothe people with higher level mental power.
So Qin Che had already taught Shen Buqi the method for mental soothing. As for anything else, Qin Che didn’t say much.
As things stood now, Ji Weishi was already inseparable from Shen Buqi.
It was clearly a situation where he was dependent on another person, yet, as his gaze swept over Shen Buqi, who had bought a whole set of kitchen utensils and was currently clumsily making a meal for him, a few hints of tenderness flashed through his dark eyes.
He was, unexpectedly, very delighted.
If his loss of control before his mental power went berserk meant he was unsure of his feelings, then now he was entirely certain.
It had nothing to do with the susceptibility period; he liked this person.
Perhaps it wasn’t even just “liking” it just so happened that a certain unspeakable desire deep in his bones had been ignited by this person.
But what he could be certain of was that he wanted to be with Shen Buqi.
Shen Buqi didn’t know about his rich psychological activities and awkwardly brought over the porridge he had cooked. There was no helping it; the public cafeteria wasn’t serving food at this hour.
Fortunately, Ji Weishi had long since had Qi Qiushui deliver kitchenware, and even managed to get some fresh vegetables stocked.
Shen Buqi didn’t want Ji Weishi to go hungry, so he taught himself how to cook by following the instruction manual. Of course, the taste was quite ordinary.
Ji Weishi didn’t mind at all, wrapping his arms around the person who made the food and making him continue to feed him.
It was yet another intimate, whispered meal.
However, Ji Weishi didn’t want to waste his once a week rest day, so he pestered Shen Buqi to go to another district to play.
Shen Buqi thought about it. Recently, no one from other districts had been coming over anyway. He heard from A-Shi that it was because his subordinates had taken protective measures, so going out for a bit should be fine.
After all, he had time now and could accompany A-Shi. If A-Shi really got too bored staying at home and snuck out on his own like Mimi, that would be bad.
So he agreed.
Ji Weishi immediately had someone send over a mecha, and by the time the two of them finished packing, the mecha had arrived.
It was still Qi Qiushui who came to pick them up. Seeing the two of them, he didn’t know how to address his boss and his boss’s pitiful lover.
He chose silence.
However, Ji Weishi was quite satisfied with his silence, as it made it convenient for him to cling to Shen Buqi and act spoiled. Standing amidst the rose bushes, he kept nuzzling Shen Buqi’s neck.
Who would have thought that Shen Buqi’s attention would be drawn to the mecha parked in another part of the yard? It was an all silver white S6 mecha. Because it was an outing for leisure, Qi Qiushui had specifically chosen one that wasn’t too eye catching.
But with his level of mental power, driving a mecha that was too low grade would easily make him dizzy, and the stability of low grade mechas wasn’t good. This Silver Dragon model was just right, its stability and safety were very high. Most importantly, the cockpit and the lounge were separated, making it very spacious and suitable for…
He thought his considerations were thorough, but the Silver Dragon was famous for its outstanding looks, and Shen Buqi happened to like beautiful mechas.
He didn’t even bother holding Ji Weishi’s hand anymore, walking a lap around the mecha. The Silver Dragon was a small mecha, not very big. Its entire body utilized a silver scale stone outer casing, rendering it nearly transparent under the light, casting a layer of light silver over its metallic skeleton.
It made Shen Buqi’s eyes light up.
Meeting his boss’s dark, unpredictable gaze, Qi Qiushui instantly chickened out, wishing he could apply for leave and go home on the spot.
Fortunately, after looking at the mecha, Shen Buqi finally remembered A-Shi. He ran back and took Ji Weishi’s hand again, his steps noticeably lighter than before. Ji Weishi still smiled at him. “Xiao Yi looks at the mecha and doesn’t like me anymore.”
Shen Buqi’s face flushed slightly as he shook his head. “That’s not true, I just like that color.”
He didn’t say the rest of his words, he planned to design the gift he was going to give Ji Weishi in that color.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew past, quietly carrying the fragrance of roses into one’s nose. Ji Weishi leaned down against the side of Shen Buqi’s neck and nuzzled him. “I don’t believe you, you just like the mecha more and don’t like me.”
This coaxed another round of pampering out of Shen Buqi, and the two of them entered the lounge in a lovey-dovey manner.
Qi Qiushui pinched his nose and accepted his bad luck, entering the cockpit to fulfill his duties.
They were going to District 6 today. It was the closest to District 7, and the time dilation difference with District 7 was relatively large, meaning they could play for two days before heading back.
Of course, Ji Weishi wasn’t coming here just to play, he also wanted to test the attitude of the District 6 Protector, Zhou Ranqing.
Zhou Ranqing was considered the most low-profile among the Protectors, he neither liked to stir up trouble nor liked to stand out.
He focused all his mind solely on researching the expansion of human mental domains and the manufacturing of androids. It was said that District 6 already had applications for android Arbitrators.
Gunpowder smoke was already starting to fill the air among the Protectors.
And right now, it was set in stone that Ji Weishi and Qin Che were standing on the same side.
Both of them were S-class Alphas and were tacitly acknowledged by the Alliance as the stronger Protectors, so they weren’t particularly afraid of being hostile with Protectors from other districts.
However, being able to win over one more person and reduce an enemy wasn’t a bad thing.
Ji Weishi hadn’t told Shen Buqi about these matters. One reason was that he hadn’t told Shen Buqi his true identity yet, and the other reason was… he didn’t want Shen Buqi to know about these useless, troubling things.
He only needed to have a great time playing.
The first stop Qi Qiushui booked for the two of them was the Alliance Amusement Park. It was the largest amusement park in the Alliance and the only all real mecha amusement park in the Alliance. He had put in a lot of effort to scout out Shen Buqi’s preferences.
Sure enough, Shen Buqi liked it very much. Putting on the simulation glasses, he pulled Ji Weishi inside.
Ji Weishi exchanged a look with Qi Qiushui, and Qi Qiushui nodded, quietly slipping away.
He still had to visit Zhou Ranqing on Ji Weishi’s behalf.
The Alliance Amusement Park had several areas. The mecha experience area Shen Buqi wanted to visit was at the very back. Sliding his fingers up and down against Shen Buqi’s palm, Ji Weishi said in a spoiled tone, “Xiao Yi, let’s go to the romance zone first, okay?”
Shen Buqi naturally agreed, secretly criticizing himself for clearly coming out on a date with A-Shi, only to end up being drawn away by mechas.
Fortunately, Ji Weishi didn’t mind that much. He chose to come today because today was the tenth anniversary of the Alliance Amusement Park.
And several special gifts had been prepared for this anniversary.
A fully furnished villa in the living area, an S1 mecha in the competitive area, educational funding in the kids’ area, and an all gender compatibility agent in the romance zone.
Ji Weishi had no interest in the others, but he was somewhat interested in this compatibility agent.
He heard that this was provided by the pheromone research base in District 2 that had already been blown up. No matter what gender the two parties were, injecting this compatibility agent could allow them to achieve a state akin to an AO marking without an actual AO marking.
Ji Weishi didn’t want to inject himself or Shen Buqi with this thing, but he was curious about this field.
He suspected that the lotus fragrance that occasionally appeared on Shen Buqi’s body had something to do with this item.
After spending two months together, he didn’t suspect that Shen Buqi had done it himself, but there were many things that others did to a person without that person knowing, right?
He had to ensure that his person’s body was safe.
Originally, he had other ways to obtain this compatibility agent, but Qin Che had gone ahead and blown up the pheromone research base in District 2.
The compatibility agent had originally been in a trial phase and hadn’t been promoted on a large scale, all the experimental samples were stored at the base.
Right now, the one in the amusement park was the only successful product.
He hadn’t told Qi Qiushui about his thoughts because he had originally planned to dispatch people to snatch it back the moment it left the amusement park.
He hadn’t expected Qi Qiushui to accidentally have them come here to play, and what was even more coincidental…
He looked toward the notice in mid-air. “Win the double player competition, get the couple’s prize.”
His gaze darkened slightly as he licked his canine teeth. He thought to himself that it looked like this game simply had to be played.
Just right, he also wanted to see exactly how much chemistry and understanding he shared with Shen Buqi.
Shen Buqi knew nothing of his plan, nor had he seen that notice, the romance zone was just too crowded.
Right now, the seven districts were interconnected, and invitations to the amusement park had been sent directly to the entire Alliance. Young people always loved to play, so the romance zone was currently packed to the brim.
The bustling crowd squeezed him and Ji Weishi right up to the registration desk. Thanks to his tight grip, the two of them didn’t get separated.
At the registration desk stood two simulation robots. If they weren’t plugged in, their pleasant voices wouldn’t have given away at all that they were androids.
One of them said, “Hello, you two. May I ask if you are a couple?”
Shen Buqi blanked out for a moment, looking at the smiling Ji Weishi beside him.
His cheeks flushing slightly, he nodded.
With a bzzzt sound, the simulation robot switched modes, currents flashing through its eyes.
“In that case, welcome to the game.”
