It's Nothing

The System fluttered its small wings and flew down from Chu Sui's head: 【Host, I'm just afraid you'll be impulsive.】

Impulsiveness is a devil, and Chu Sui used to be very devilish.

Hearing this, Chu Sui glanced at it. He surprisingly didn't fly into a rage from embarrassment like before, but just muttered "boring," and then followed in the direction Arno had just left. The System felt that he wanted to go catch a cheater, and was worried that his anger would cloud his judgment and make him do something irrational: 【Honey, you really haven't been cuckolded.】

Chu Sui got angry: "Shut up!"

He simply felt that Arno and Alvin's actions were a bit strange and just wanted to follow them to see. As he thought this, he unconsciously sped up, finally spotting their fleeting figures at a corner in the Medical Area's corridor.

Alvin was talking in a low voice with Arno: "In another ten minutes, he will come out of the Interrogation Room. The escort team on the way..."

Arno listened quietly, but for some reason, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. He raised a hand to signal Alvin to be quiet, glanced behind him discreetly, and then said, "You go first."

Alvin raised an eyebrow, glanced in that direction, and said with interest, "Tsk, it seems your dear Male Master has found out."

It was almost lunch break, and at this time, most of the Zergs were eating in the Military Department cafeteria, so the corridor seemed rather empty. Chu Sui had absolutely none of the stealth awareness a stalker should have and followed directly. But when he reached the corner, he didn't see a trace of them at all.

Just as Chu Sui was hesitating whether to go left or right, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Male Master?"

Chu Sui subconsciously turned his head, only to find that Arno had appeared behind him at some point. He was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing here?"

He had clearly just seen Arno disappear around the corridor corner, so how did he get behind him in the blink of an eye?

He was like a thief crying "stop thief"—he was the one tracking someone, yet he was turning the tables. Arno had clearly figured out Chu Sui's temperament. He smiled upon hearing his words, his eyes under the shadow of his cap's brim full of gentleness: "I was just passing by here by chance..."

He paused, then said, "Did I startle you?"

'I wouldn't say startled, just a little surprised and caught off guard,' Chu Sui thought. He unconsciously glanced around. 'This is the medical building; the Fourth Military Region's departments are on the other side. How could Arno be passing by here "by chance"?' he thought.

Chu Sui asked whatever came to mind: "Isn't your meeting in Area D of 35207? What are you doing in the Medical Area?"

After working in the Military Department for so many days, he had already familiarized himself with the surrounding landmarks.

Arno paused, likely not expecting Chu Sui, who usually seemed so careless, to suddenly get serious. His fingertips rubbed together slightly as he was pondering how to answer, when he heard Chu Sui suddenly ask, "Are you injured?"

Arno's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously looked up at him: "No..."

Before he could finish, Chu Sui interrupted him: "Nothing?"

Chu Sui glanced at him, then grabbed Arno's collar, pulling him closer with a bit of force. He brushed his fingertips against Arno's shoulder and back, and they came away stained with a thin layer of red. Looking from behind, a dark patch had seeped through a good portion of Arno's back, but it wasn't very visible under his military jacket.

Chu Sui's expression suddenly turned ugly. He unconsciously frowned, pushing even the matter with Alvin to the back of his mind. "Who hit you?"

'Damn it, which bastard has a death wish, daring to hit my person?!'

He usually had a nonchalant air about him, and even when angry, it was like a child throwing a tantrum that could be easily soothed. This was the first time Arno had seen such an expression on his face, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer: "Male Master..."

Now that he was closer, Chu Sui noticed that Arno's lips were a little pale, completely colorless, exuding an imperceptible weakness. A medical room happened to be right there, so he pulled him straight inside.

Inside, a Military Female on duty was dozing off at her desk. Suddenly hearing the door being pushed open, she instinctively sat up, only to see a handsome Male Zerg pulling Major General Arno of the Fourth Army inside. Stunned for a second, she hurriedly went to greet them: "Your Excellency, is there anything I can do for you?"

Chu Sui pulled Arno in front of him: "He's injured, take a look at him."

Arno subconsciously grabbed Chu Sui's hand: "Male Master, it's just a minor injury, it'll heal soon."

Sometimes Chu Sui was just unwilling to overthink things, but he wasn't actually stupid. If it were just a minor injury, how could his military jacket be soaked through with blood? He forced Arno to sit on the edge of the medical bed, undid the buttons on his clothes in a few quick movements, and said to the medical personnel, "His back is injured, you take a look."

The medical personnel was dumbfounded, having never seen such a scene before.

Arno tried to reach out and stop him but was held down by Chu Sui, who said in a low voice, "Are you disobeying me now?" Chu Sui didn't know why Arno was injured or which bastard had hit him, but a baseless fury raged in his heart, which he was barely suppressing. Arno met his pitch-black eyes, knew he couldn't hide it any longer, and finally stopped struggling.

The Imperial Capital was not the front lines of a battlefield; to mobilize troops, one had to obtain approval from a superior. The day Chu Sui went missing, Arno had privately mobilized the army without submitting a report and had also forged a search warrant to search Capet's residence. Although he had his reasons, he had ultimately violated a military order. He had gone to the Punishment Chamber himself to receive a punishment of thirty lashes from a Light Whip.

Military discipline was always strict, and given that they were all Military Females with explosive combat power, one could imagine that the instruments of punishment were no ordinary items. A regular whip would only leave a bloody welt, but the Light Whip directly flayed skin from flesh. A more severe lashing could even be life-threatening.

Chu Sui took off Arno's military jacket, and when he saw the crisscrossing, hideously gaping wounds on his back, he couldn't help but freeze. The medical personnel, however, was used to it, having clearly seen many such cases. "Ah, whip wounds from the Punishment Chamber."

As she spoke, she took out a few bottles of anti-inflammatory medicine and cotton swabs from a drawer and walked over. "Your Excellency, apply the anti-inflammatory medicine and give him a special injection, and he'll be fully recovered in a few days."

Seeing Arno's bloody and mangled back, Chu Sui subconsciously took half a step back. Then, he saw the medical personnel directly rip off the shirt that was stuck to Arno's body with blood, her movements devoid of any gentleness. He glared at her, "Can't you be a little gentler?!"

Chu Sui rarely lost his temper anymore. The medical personnel was startled by him and stammered, "Y-Yes... Your Excellency... I'm very sorry..."

'Military Females aren't that weak,' she thought to herself. 'Is there really a need to be so careful?'

Arno showed no reaction from beginning to end, as if he wasn't the one bleeding. Only when Chu Sui got angry did he silently squeeze his hand and then shake his head almost imperceptibly. "Male Master..."

He seemed to want to say something but didn't. His gaze rested quietly on Chu Sui, never wavering for an instant.

Chu Sui's gaze uncontrollably returned to Arno's back. Because the shirt was stuck fast to the wounds, it had to be torn off bit by bit. The slightest pull caused blood to seep out. On Earth, a wound like this would require dozens of stitches, yet among the Zerg Race, it was simply treated with some applied medicine.

Military Females were all rough, and this medical personnel was clearly not very meticulous either. Asking her to tear it off bit by bit was truly a difficult task for her. Before long, she was sweating profusely. In truth, for this kind of wound, it was better to rip it off quickly; the slower, the more painful.

Chu Sui frowned and simply pulled her away: "I'll do it."

Arno didn't want him to get blood on his hands, especially since the wound was horrifying. "Male Master, the wound is filthy, you can't..."

Before he could finish, Chu Sui had already sat down on the edge of the bed. He had Arno lie prone on his lap, then took the sterile gloves and tweezers from the medic's hands. 'Filthy my ass,' he thought, 'who doesn't get injured sometimes.'

He lowered his eyes and saw Arno looking at him. He didn't know if it was because of the pain or something else, but his blue eyes suddenly seemed hazy. His face was pale, and he was covered in a cold sweat. Vaguely remembering that the other had always had a forbearing and silent demeanor, he reached out and pressed him down on his lap, his brows knitted tightly. "Don't talk."

He paused, his tone softer this time, "And don't move."

Although the Zerg Race were zergs, they didn't look too different from humans, as if they were also molded from flesh and blood. They had only one heart and only one life. When their fingertips touched, there was warmth, and he could feel the beat of a pulse.

Chu Sui hadn't really understood what it felt like to be injured before. He had been the center of attention since he was a child, with a crowd of people doting on him every day. Their concern and care drowned out any pain, so he never felt like he had been injured, or rather, he never felt that getting injured was a very painful thing.

For some reason, he recalled last night.

Being whipped hurt a lot. When there was no one to care for you, it hurt even more.

Chu Sui was also an impatient person, but now he was being uncharacteristically patient, peeling away the shirt stuck to the wounds bit by bit. Stopping and starting, a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead before he finally got it all off.

The medic had never imagined a Male Zerg would do such a thing. She watched quietly from the side, somewhat dazed. When she came to her senses, she very perceptively handed over the medicine bottle and cotton swabs, "Your Excellency, just apply it to the wound."

Chu Sui had never thought taking off clothes could be such a difficult task. He took the medicine bottle and said to Arno, "Speak up if it hurts."

Although he felt that the other wouldn't make a sound even if it did hurt.

Arno lay quietly on his lap. Through the thin layer of fabric, he could still feel the warmth radiating from Chu Sui's body. Hearing his words, he gave an almost imperceptible nod. Then, his fingertips moved slightly, and he discreetly clutched the hem of Chu Sui's clothes from underneath.

The sunlight from outside seeped through the half-drawn curtains, slowly bathing them in its glow and casting a golden light on the tips of their hair. Arno closed his eyes. In his heart that had always sought nothing, faint ripples suddenly appeared. He found himself inexplicably hoping for something, something even he couldn't describe.

This world had once disgusted him to the extreme...

Afraid of hurting him, Chu Sui's movements as he applied the medicine were intermittent. Arno's lean, slender body lay quietly on his lap. He was like a cheetah in the jungle, swift as the wind, but at this moment, he had retracted all his claws and fangs, willingly disguising himself as a harmless kitten at his side.

By the time he finished applying the medicine to Arno's wounds, the medicine bottle in Chu Sui's hand was more than half empty. He looked down at Arno, ready to settle the score, his tone barely calm. "Speak. Who beat you like this?"

He habitually rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, carrying the air of a big brother standing up for his underling.

Arno sat up straight and gave the medic an emotionless look. The latter immediately understood and discreetly withdrew, closing the door on her way out.

Chu Sui didn't notice any of this. Hearing no answer from Arno, he frowned and asked again, "Who beat you like this..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Arno suddenly hugged him without a word. His presence carried a faint chill. It was like the warm third month of spring, when everyone else was warm and gentle, yet only he carried the wind and snow with him, abrupt and out of place.

Chu Sui was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Arno ask in a low voice, "Are you worried about me...?"

Chu Sui didn't hear clearly: "Hm?"

Arno asked again, his breath brushing against Chu Sui's ear and stirring a warm, ticklish sensation. His usually cool and detached voice was now low and deep, laced with a hint of bewitchment and a hint of craving: "Are you worried about me?"

'They had lived together for so many years, after all; it's impossible not to have any feelings.' Chu Sui did his best to ignore the subtle, strange feeling in his heart, his brow twitching almost imperceptibly. "So what if I am?"

Arno buried his face in his neck, hugging Chu Sui tightly, yet afraid of squeezing him too hard. Hearing this, he gazed at his Adam's apple, which was just inches away, and said earnestly in a low voice, "If that's true, then I will be very, very happy..."

Arno was not like other Military Females. Compared to their explosive tempers, he possessed a very special, gentle coolness. It seemed nothing could stir any ripples in his heart, so Chu Sui had rarely seen him lose his composure.

Chu Sui lowered his eyes and vaguely had an illusion, feeling as if a battered and bruised cat was carefully hugging him, its big, bright blue eyes so eager that it would be happy for a long time if given just a small piece of dried fish.

Of course, Arno wasn't a cat. He was a Zerg, and also his Male Monarch.

Male Monarch...

Chu Sui chewed over the two words. 'It seems to mean the same thing as "wife" on Earth,' he thought. He raised his hand and rubbed Arno's silver hair, his movements a little unfamiliar, and said slowly, "Oh, then be happy."

After speaking, he inadvertently saw the Light Computer on his wrist and realized it was already one in the afternoon. His eyes widened as he suddenly remembered something he seemed to have forgotten to do. Coming to his senses, he shot to his feet with a rustle.

Arno was startled by him: "Male Master, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Chu Sui was silent for a moment, then silently clenched his fist and shook his head: "It's nothing..."

'Just that I let that son of a bitch Capet get away.'

The author has something to say: Chu Sui: Very unhappy.
