Chapter 4: Take Home

“Sorry, I’ll let go!” Xie Sen said, as his head spun. The next moment, his face was pressed against the other man’s back. The moment they touched, he felt that the other man’s body contained a strong strength, and especially a sense of security.

Xie Sen stared with his eyes. Tiredness hit him like a tidal wave. He half squinted his eyes in confusion. What happened? He suddenly couldn’t control his movements!

If he was a woman, it would be like the devil possessed him!

Oh, no, there were no women in this world, and he didn’t know if this person was a male or female. Considering the 1.9 meter tall person, he was probably a male.

Maine’s narrow phoenix eyes tightened slightly, the corners of his mouth hooked up, but there was disgust between his eyebrows. He grabbed Xie Sen’s hand that was hugging his waist, half turned, and gave it a backhanded twist.

“Ah…!” the pain came, and Xie Sen shouted. Soon the painful cry abruptly stopped, and as Xie Sen fell unconscious, his body collapsed softly. But, before he lost consciousness, he saw an exceptionally good-looking face.

Maine’s brow furrowed. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes when he saw what Xie Sen looked like, and he reached out to hold him before he hit the ground.

“Are you still a male? How dare you lay such a heavy hand on a female!” Some off-duty workers who were passing by couldn’t help but speak up, and accused him when they saw this scene.

“Yes. This female looks like he loves you. Ignoring your refusal to get close. How can you do such a thing!” a worker to the side echoed.

“The poor thing fell unconscious because of you. You’re so excessive!” Another person scolded, and turned his head to ask his partner, “Should we call the police?”

Maine’s handsome face gradually darkened, and he looked at the three of them with a faint smile. “It’s my fault. He’s not well, and still came out for me. I’m just worried about him. I’ll get him home now, and I’ll take good care of him.”

“So that’s how it is. You are so blessed to meet a female who loves you so much.”

‘Blessed’ Maine picked Xie Sen up horizontally as soon as he could. Carrying this female didn’t affect him in any way, and he walked quickly to the parking lot with a black flying shuttle and put Xie Sen in the back. He sat in the driver’s seat, and set the driving route.

He looked back at Xie Sen who was still unconscious. A female? If he was really a female, he wouldn’t have made the school headlines for committing suicide. When he thought of the mockery he had heard of ‘not female, not male,’ his eyes showed disgust. They were a bunch of idiots!

Xie Sen woke up to a blue ceiling and froze. Then he got up with a start.

The room was predominantly blue, small in size and warmly decorated. Definitely not a hospital.

As he thought about what happened before he passed out, he stretched out his left hand and then his right, clapped his palm and then clenched his fist to make sure he could control his movements smoothly. He was slightly relieved, but still a little uneasy in his heart.

“Click…” a rattle came from the door of the room, and he moved his head.

The door of the room was pushed open, and a man over 1.9 meters appeared in the doorway. The man had distinctive features, handsome and beautiful. His short blond hair was slightly messy, like he had suddenly gotten up from the bed.

He had a pair of sword eyebrows, under them was a pair of narrow dark phoenix eyes, beautiful and harsh. His nose was high and his lips were moderately thick and thin, as if he were a prince who had come out of a cartoon.

Xie Sen was dumbfounded, then quickly remembered that this was the person he had hugged before he passed out. Was this this man’s house? When he thought about his uncontrollable actions, Xie Sen was a little embarrassed. He raised his hand to shake it, “Hello, handsome. Is this your home?”

Maine looked at him expressionlessly. “Were you the one who was clapping just now?”

Xie Sen shook his head, “No, I just clasped my hands.”

Maine walked into the room, reached out and pulled his left wrist up, to show him the time on his bracelet. “One o’clock in the morning. Why are you clapping?” After Maine finished, his hand reached down and grabbed Xie Sen’s left palm, while his other hand grabbed Xie Sen’s right palm. He let out a light laugh. “Like clapping, don’t you? Continue.”

He had a nice voice, but this light laugh made Xie Sen’s back go cold.

Maine’s hands were well-defined, with long and slender fingers, but Xie Sen didn’t have the time to admire them. As soon as his hand was held, he realized that his strength was far from Maine’s. When he saw that the two palms that were pulled apart by Maine, and were going to slap violently together in the next moment, he hurriedly made a sound.

“Handsome, don’t do that! I just woke up still confused. The room is so bright, how could I know it’s night? If I knew, I never would have made a loud noise,” he said and laughed. “You can’t blame me for that, you forgot to turn off the light!”

Maine moved and let go of his hand. His eyes fell on the corner of his raised mouth, and then moved to his left shoulder. “Are you smiling because you have awakened your contract beast?”

The moment he asked, he frowned. He wasn’t a gossip, but as he watched the person in front of him giggle, somehow he had to ask the question. He was not familiar with Xie Sen, but Xie Sen had a negative reputation, so he knew about this person. His impression of Xie Sen was that he always walked with his head down, had a gloomy pale face and had never smiled.

Xie Sen blinked, “You know me? No wonder you were so kind to let me stay.”

“There’s no one at Star City University who doesn’t know you. Your attempted suicide made headlines two days ago.” Maine raised an eyebrow. “You look very different from before.”

Xie Sen froze. He was a celebrity? He really didn’t want this kind of fame! He forced a smile. “I figured it out when I came back from death. I should live my life, and to hell with the long-winded monster!” He straightened his back. “Gossip can’t hurt me anymore, I’m indestructible!”

The corners of Maine’s mouth twitched. He reached out his index finger, and poked Xie Sen in the waist. Xie Sen immediately covered his waist, and laughed out loud. “Hahahaha! What are you doing?”

Maine’s eyes flashed with laughter. “Indestructible, huh?”

Xie Sen emphasized. “Verbally!”

“Grrr…” a sound instantly silenced the room. Xie Sen looked at his stomach, and coughed dryly. “I’m a little embarrassed, but may I ask? Is there food?”

He hadn’t eaten anything since noon, so it was normal for his stomach to protest.

Maine inclined his head towards the door and nodded. “Come with me. There’s still some meat in the fridge, but it’s raw.”

“It’s okay, I can do it!” Xie Sen said in a hurry.

Following Maine out of the room, Xie Sen realized that it was a single-story house with two rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It had an area of less than a hundred square meters, but a very livable atmosphere. He was a little surprised that all the lights inside the house were on. If it weren’t for the darkness outside the windows, he would have thought it was daytime.

Maine took out a piece of meat from the fridge and gave it to Xie Sen, then he got a glass of water for himself and took a sip. In the kitchen, Maine leaned against the door frame to watch Xie Sen.

“The kitchen needs to look like it does now once you’re done eating,” Maine said.

Xie Sen glanced around the kitchen and nodded. Then he pointed to the stove, and looked back at him, “How do you turn it on?”

Maine looked at him in surprise, and went forward to turn on the fire. “What model do you use in your house? As far as I know, this is the most commonly used model.”

Xie Sen didn’t know what model it was, so he just laughed and snorted, then grabbed a knife and started cutting the meat. He looked back at Maine as he cut. His eyes glowed slightly as he glanced at the ’10’ above Maine’s head, which meant that the maximum amount of grateful energy the other could give to him was 10.

This was why he called out to him earlier. He thought fast as he cut the meat, and asked as if he were making small talk, “What do you usually like to do?”

Maine gave a light laugh. “You hugged me earlier, and now you’re asking me this question? Do you want to chase me?”

“Hiss…” The knife deflected and cut his finger. Luckily Xie Sen reacted quickly and the cut was not deep. With a speechless face, he put his hand under the faucet to rinse it, and gave Maine a sideways blank stare. “Handsome, you think a little too much.”
