With Lu Xu gone, Ren Shuhan was left alone in the house. Jiang Qingyue immediately became more relaxed on the video call, sitting up and patting the mattress, looking at him with sparkling eyes. “I miss you! Stand up and let me see you!”
Ren Shuhan remained seated, leaning back on the sofa, crossing his legs and smiling. “Miss me? I didn’t notice.”
“How can you not notice?” Jiang Qingyue stood up and turned around, showing himself off. “Look closely. Every part of me is missing you.”
Ren Shuhan: “…”
Jiang Qingyue could now use his legs proficiently, but he wasn’t wearing pants, just a loose T-shirt left by Ren Shuhan. It hung like a dress, covering his buttocks and revealing two dazzlingly white and straight legs. It wasn’t clear if he was wearing underwear.
Ren Shuhan tried not to look at his lower half, but he still felt a bit parched. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt collar, earnestly scrutinized Jiang Qingyue for a while, confirmed that he hadn’t lost weight in the two months without him, and only then asked, “You didn’t contact me for a month, and you didn’t answer my call just now. What’s going on?”
“There was too much to learn before, and I forgot in the busyness,” Jiang Qingyue said without a hint of guilt, looking unapologetic. “I fell asleep just now and didn’t hear it.”
Ren Shuhan softened immediately and forgave him. “Sleeping in my clothes?”
Jiang Qingyue pinched the fabric at his chest, lowered his head to sniff it, and said in a muffled voice, “Your scent is gone.”
“Then come find me.” Ren Shuhan squinted his eyes, unable to resist looking at him more.
His long hair was messy from sleep, his eyes were still a bit watery, and when he sat down, he hugged his knees. The gap between his legs was tantalizingly visible, and his toes were cute and pink. It seemed like his forehead was saying, “Come and eat me.”
“Un,” Jiang Qingyue looked around and said, “I’ve learned the theory of wormhole traversal recently. It feels interesting. What about you? Is military service tiring?”
“Not at all,” Ren Shuhan stretched his slender arms casually, resting them on the sofa back. The wrinkles in his shirt outlined the shape of his bicep muscles, leaving Jiang Qingyue somewhat dazed. He wanted to lie down in his arms. “They are all too weak, so I applied to go to another planet. I’ll change places when the vacation is over. By then, if the signal is good, we can video chat without needing approval from superiors.”
It wasn’t that Ren Shuhan was promoted too quickly; it was just that the difficulty of the next planet he applied for was too high. He needed to request support permissions for all soldiers, allowing him to easily access the network.
“That place also has a large area of ocean. You should like it.”
Jiang Qingyue nodded, looking at him infatuatedly. “Can you send me things when you have permission?”
“I can do it now. It’s too far away later. What do you want?” Ren Shuhan found it strange. Qingqing was asking him for something for the first time.
“Can you send me the clothes you’re wearing?” Jiang Qingyue asked. “I want the ones you’ve worn.”
Ren Shuhan: “…Sure, I have a lot of them. Do you like military uniforms? I’ll send you a set in your size.”
“I want the ones you’ve worn,” Jiang Qingyue said shyly, adjusting the hair in front of his chest. “Preferably the one you’re wearing now.”
Ren Shuhan choked on a sip of water, putting down the cup.
“I’ll take it off for you now.”
He threw his tie on the floor, laughing uncontrollably, and wanting to make Jiang Qingyue blush.
In a short while, Jiang Qingyue shook his body again and urged, “Why aren’t you taking them off?”
Ren Shuhan stood up, staring at him, and began unfastening his belt buckle. However, halfway through, he gave up, fell back onto the sofa, and covered his face with one hand.
“Baby, do you know you can’t say that casually?”
“I know,” Jiang Qingyue tilted back on the bed, holding a pillow in his arms, lightly rubbing his legs together. He spoke softly, “It’s not something you can say to anyone, but you’re not just anyone. Daddy told me secretly. He said it’s not allowed with you either, but it’s okay for us. He doesn’t know, so it’s fine.”
Ren Shuhan rubbed his nose with the back of his hand and looked away.
“Oh, why are you so timid?” Jiang Qingyue patted the pillow, feeling both happy and anxious. He took off his top as well.
Ren Shuhan only glanced once and then ended the video call.
He sat quietly for a while, lowered his head to look at himself, and sighed.
Jiang Qingyue called again, and this time, Ren Shuhan hesitated before making the call. However, it didn’t go well after Jiang Qingyue said a simple “Hello.”
His sweetheart sounded unsteady and out of breath on the other side of the phone, making Ren Shuhan unable to resist.
Although Qingqing was usually proactive, he was also shy. Now he had become so initiative; it was probably nearing his mating season. Ren Shuhan couldn’t help but comfort him with soft words, saying some improper things that parents wouldn’t allow. Listening to him settle down with a sobbing voice, he finally hung up the call.
“I’ll take a long vacation and come to see you next time,” Ren Shuhan comforted him. “I’ll be with you, so you won’t need to take suppressants.”
The mermaid’s suppressant was a kind of fruit—natural and delicious, harmless to the body. However, this period was of special significance, and Ren Shuhan didn’t want his sweetheart to spend it alone for the first time.
“Okay,” Jiang Qingyue said softly. “Then, you don’t need to send me clothes. Just bring them to me directly.”
“…Alright,” Ren Shuhan felt embarrassed. It seemed that his sweetheart was quite spirited.
During this vacation, Ren Shuhan didn’t stay at home for long and soon went to the second planet.
This planet was relatively close to the main star and had established a wormhole tunnel for easy travel. Because this planet was unique and belonged to a completely new galaxy, most of it was covered by large oceans.
The main star had already planned to include the entire galaxy into its territory because interstellar people liked vacation planets with oceans.
However, this place was harder to capture due to the difficulties of underwater warfare.
Ren Shuhan loved seawater, and he wanted to practice controlling his strength. So, whenever he reached a deserted place, he abandoned his mech and fought sea monsters barehanded.
When Jiang Qingyue initiated another video call, Ren Shuhan had been promoted and changed from a black shirt to a more advanced white shirt. He had just finished dealing with a few small monsters in the sea, and there were traces of blood on his face and collar. Jiang Qingyue was very worried.
“Is it your blood?”
Ren Shuhan wiped it away casually. “No.”
“So, you went to battle without telling us?” Jiang Qingyue shook his head with a sigh.
Ren Shuhan froze for a moment.
“It’s okay. I believe in you. Although you didn’t explicitly tell me you were going to the battlefield, I guessed it when you weren’t answering my calls. ” Jiang Qingyue pointed at him, “But this time, when you go on vacation, you have to admit your mistake to Uncle Lu first.”
Ren Shuhan wasn’t good at refusing him, so he agreed. It didn’t matter much anyway, as this place was relatively close to the main star, and it was fine to make a short trip.
The troublesome part was dealing with the old man at home.
This time, Ren Shuhan had a two-week vacation and was immediately lectured by Lu Xu when he arrived. Lu Xu also insisted that he attend the banquet organized by General Lu to celebrate his return.
“It’s a banquet arranged for you. How can you not come? You can’t avoid giving face,” Lu Xu said. “Besides, this time, I will help you talk to your grandfather about pushing back the marriage with Nanxi.”
Ren Shuhan thought for a moment and agreed.
He planned to announce at this banquet that he already had an engaged partner.
Human marriage proposals were an indispensable tradition, but since he had already followed the mermaid customs once, he considered himself engaged.
Surprisingly, Lu Xu had a surprise for him this time.
As soon as Ren Shuhan entered the banquet hall, he saw Jiang Qingyue by the dance floor.
“I’m here!” Jiang Qingyue, dressed in a white suit, ran happily towards him, jumping into his arms and hugging his neck. “I missed you so much, so I came.”
Ren Shuhan held him tightly, embracing him for a long time before gently placing him on his tiptoes, holding his waist and hand, swaying with the music.
To his surprise, Nanxi captured this entire scene in his live broadcast.
“What the heck!” The barrage was full of questions. “Isn’t this person supposed to be XiXi’s fiancé?”
Jiang Qingyue sure is daring in this world lol it’s rare for Ren Shuhan to be the one to get embarrassed x)
