Bai Chunian unplugged the USB flash drive from the computer, then deleted all the files that had been projected, checked the backup in the projecting machine again, and after confirming that there were no traces left, he pushed the table and chairs back to their original positions, and opened the door and walked out as if nothing had happened.

A hand reached out from the wall by the door and grabbed Bai Chunian’s trouser leg.

Rimbaud sat on the ground with his curled fishtail in his arms, leaning his back against the wall, and grabbed Bai Chunian’s ankle with one hand. “You’ve been inside for so long, did you fall asleep?”

“I was too swamped with work and I forgot myself. Why didn’t you call me?” Bai Chunian knelt down and picked up Rimbaud, wiped off the dust on his buttocks, polishing his scales with his cuffs, “How long have you been waiting?”

“I don’t know, maybe five or six hours. I don’t mind waiting for you. When you wake up, you will come out.”

“Hmm… Thank you for your hard work, baby, it’s getting late, let’s go to the cafeteria and buy some food, then go home to eat.”

“Scallops, I want two.”

“The cafeteria doesn’t have such big ones.”

“Go to the aquarium to get some.”

“…I don’t have enough money, I used it to buy the rings…”

“Then next time.”

“No, no, no, I’ll go to the seafood market to see if there is anything you’d like.”

After the two left, the technical department returned to silence. After Duan Yang sent Bai Chunian a comforting message worriedly, he locked the office door and prepared to leave work.

Unexpectedly, while waiting for the elevator, he ran into Chairman Yan Yi.

The chairman seldom appeared there. It looked like he had been in the elevator for a long time, the file bag in his hand had been slightly dented by his fingertips.

At the dining table, Rimbaud was eating scallops with his long claws. Bai Chunian was absentminded and his eyes fell on Rimbaud’s belly in a daze.

“Randi.” Rimbaud tilted his head to look at him, “Do you want to obe with me by staring there?”

Bai Chunian didn’t answer, Rimbaud called him several times before he woke up.

“Wife.” Bai Chunian didn’t have any appetite to eat, he felt nauseous in his stomach, he suddenly stood up and went around behind Rimbaud, wrapped his arms around his neck and said, “Let’s go get Pearl back, shall we?”

“Pearl was sent to the headquarters of the research institute early in the morning and you can’t get in, there’s no point in going there and it’s useless if you think that you’re lucky. It’s dead, I know clearly, you will only be disappointed.”

He didn’t know whether Rimbaud’s heart would hurt when he spoke the truth in such a calm tone. To Bai Chunian, every word was like stabbing a knife in his heart, then twisting the handle of the knife to give him even more severe pain.

But the extreme grief didn’t show, Bai Chunian licked his ear, rubbed his cheek against him, and said jokingly, “Then let’s go to the cultivation base to see the old man, what do you think?”

He hugged him affectionately from behind so that Rimbaud could not see the stormy dark in his eyes.

“Randi.” Rimbaud put down the half-eaten scallop, hooked his fingers around Bai Chunian’s collar, and looked back at him, “I have seen the deep bond between you and your human friends. You said that your lifespan is only one hundred years, this one hundred years I want you to be happy, safe, and be with the human beings I like. This time is a very short period for me, I cherish you very much so I will naturally take revenge after a hundred years. This is not too long, I can wait. So for now I will not go, and you are not allowed to go either.”

“It’s just a cultivation base, and it’s not the headquarters of the research institute. How could it be so dangerous… Having said that, is my lifespan so short for you? Wouldn’t it be easy for you to meet someone you like again in the future?” Bai Chunian’s lion ears hidden in his hair hung down, “Will you forget me? Then what should I do?”

“I’ll melt your bones, attach them to the ribs I’ve cut off, seal your heart in hydrated steel, put it in the heart I’ve chipped off, take you back to the Caribbean sea and inlay your skull in the armrest of the right hand of my throne.” Rimbaud narrated quietly, as if he was just stating a future travel plan, already well-organized to the tiniest details.

“Mmm… Wife.” Bai Chunian licked the glands on the back of Rimbaud’s neck, “But don’t worry, I won’t die too early.”

Rimbaud realized thatXiaoBai was not normal today, but before he had time to say anything, he was startled suddenly by the tingling pain on his glands. Two fangs bit deeply on his fragile glands, sucking the glands vigorously, filling his body with pheromones and a touch of blood.

Although he got his wish of obe, but at the dinner table, Bai Chunian kept kneeling down and kissing him, the infatuation and worship in his eyes was almost crazy, resembling a paranoid cultist.

It was unknown where the alpha’s sudden physical strength came from today. Even Rimbaud couldn’t stand doing it so many times and fell asleep on the bed.

Bai Chunian was lying on his side beside him, with his arms around the merman’s thin waist. The bandage on Rimbaud’s body was loose and Bai Chunian took the bandages off his body for him. He wanted to throw it directly into the fish tank, but he suddenly paused for a moment, quietly brought the bandage closer and took in the smell from the bandage.

“I’m like a pervert.” Bai Chunian scolded himself with a smile, put down the bandage, hugged Rimbaud from behind, and fell asleep smelling the faint pheromones from the back of his neck.

But Rimbaud turned over and put his arm lightly on him.

Bai Chunian looked closely at Rimbaud’s peaceful and clean sleeping face and felt drowsy involuntarily. He temporarily forged a thin chain from the collar around his neck, put it in Rimbaud’s hand, then curled up with his head buried in Rimbaud’s chest and fell asleep. The faint fragrance entered the lungs from the nose, making his whole body relax.

Hugs and touches soothed him more than making love and kisses, almost to the point that he felt touch-starved.

Rimbaud put his hand on his head and rubbed it. His hands were so soft that they fell like flower petals brushed past his head with his soothing.

“Are you not sleeping yet?” Bai Chunian asked.

“Hm, first coax you.” Rimbaud said sleepily.

When Rimbaud woke up the next morning, the left half of the bed was empty. Bai Chunian probably went to work and left breakfast for him on the dining table.

Rimbaud picked up a piece of toast and crawled back to the bedroom. The armory closet next to the bed was locked at the moment.

In the past, Bai Chunian was never on guard against him and the armory was only locked when both of them were away, but Rimbaud had never been interested in what was inside, so he never went in.

However,XiaoBai‘sabnormal performance made Rimbaud feel unsettled. He climbed along the ceiling to the sliding rail of the secret room wall, and the fish tail slipped into the gap, found the independent switch, and released a strong current to short-circuit the switch.

The combination lock lit up green, and the wall of the secret room slowly moved away.

The armory was no different from the past, there were some scattered drawings on the table, and two photo frames, one of which was a photo ofXiaoBai,Yan Yi and Lu Shangjin when he was awarded the Free Bird Medal of the Secret Service Team, and the other was a photo of the newly put up, a selfie of the two of them.

The blueprints looked normal, and those that showed the location of the buildings were all put away. Rimbaud couldn’t understand these complicated lines, so he looked elsewhere.

There was also a small one-page calendar on the table, the kind that would tear off a page every day. Rimbaud flipped through it, and accidentally found a page with a red pen marked with a cross.

The handwriting was very deep, and it penetrated to the following pages, and the scratches left were vicious, as if they were drawn with extremely deep hatred.

The page that was crossed out was June 24th, and there are still more than 20 days from now.

There was no note on the calendar and Rimbaud didn’t know what special event he had arranged for that day.

“…”

Rimbaud put the things back in place, locked the door of the secret room and went back to the living room to watch TV.

In the evening, when Bai Chunian came back from IOA, he went directly into the bathroom from the porch, took a shower for 20 minutes before coming out, and used the shower gel with a strong fragrance that he bought before. When he first bought this bottle of shower gel, Bai Chunian had hated it for being too fragrant.

After Bai Chunian took a shower, he opened the bathroom door wearing only a pair of underpants, with a towel on his head.

Rimbaud was hanging on the door wrapped around the doorknob, and as he opened the door, he slowly slithered in front of him and slurped the towel on his head like noodles.

“…” Bai Chunian took a step back, hit the back of his head against the door frame, and gasped in pain, “What are you doing?”

“Listening to you taking a shower and eating, it turns out that you like to count the barbs on your penis by yourself in the bathroom, so how many barbs do you have?”

“Hey, stop it, fuck.” Bai Chunian’s ears felt hot, he pulled Rimbaud from the doorknob, carried him on his shoulders and threw him on the sofa.

The TV in the living room was left on all the time and the evening news started broadcasting as soon as the time came.

“Hello, audience friends, this is “The First Time”. At about four o’clock this afternoon, a serious experimental accident occurred in the cultivation base of the 109 Research Institute in Red Fox City. A researcher was trapped in the incinerator due to an operation error and a colleague rushed over to rescue them, but they passed away after the rescue failed…”

“Tsk tsk, how pitiful.” Bai Chunian raised his head to look at the TV and said expressionlessly.

Rimbaud could barely recognize it from the internal facilities of the cultivation base. “It’s the cultivation base we stayed in.”

“Did you do anything?” Rimbaud asked.

“Huh?” Bai Chunian was still kneeling and propped up on top of Rimbaud, his white velvet ears appearing from his hair moved, “I don’t know, what bad things could I do?”

“…” Rimbaud stared at him blankly, as if shot right in his heart, and forgot the news all of a sudden.
