At first, Su Zheyan wanted to use a toothbrush to clean the robot, but Chu Shici was embarrassed, so he ran to the bookshelf with the toothbrush to scrub himself.
The system watched the fun from the sidelines, and leaned over to ask him, [Didn’t you say that you are just a tin doll? You are not afraid of running around naked but you are so afraid of taking a bath in front of him?]
Chu Shici poured water on the toothbrush, and whispered coyly, ‘It’s different, I didn’t know he was around 20 before. ‘
The system let out a cry, [Isn’t the hero 23 years old this year?]
‘I wasn’t talking about age. ‘*
[Then what are you talking about…fuck..]
*(what. OoO)
Chu Shici was brushing his rollers while thinking about life.
This really is a small world derived from a novel.
The system looked up at the sky.
This really is the little GAY who was most passionate about the flower market*.
*(smutty yaoi book collection in the most pleasant way)
Su Zheyan lay sideways on the bed, staring at the lines on the wall in a daze.
A sound not far away interrupted his train of thought.
Su Zheyan looked at the bookshelf above his head, and saw a palm-sized robot rubbing his body with the toothbrush.
The toothbrush was a head higher than the robot doll, so it was difficult to scrub.
Su Zheyan looked at it for a while in the end, he couldn’t help reaching out to grab the robot doll, pressing it against the bookshelf and rubbing it vigorously.
Chu Shici struggled desperately: “Lighter! Lighter! Any harder and the skin will really fall off!”
Su Zheyan immediately reduced the intensity, and said coldly: “Stop moving around.”
He scrubbed fast and after five minutes, the robot doll had a completely new look, and the whole doll seemed to shine.
Su Zheyan was very satisfied, and deliberately took out a small can of perfume from his backpack, spraying it on the little robot doll a few times.
Yet, because he sprayed too much, the entire capsule smelled overpowering hence he opened the hatch in the middle of the night.
Eating while watching the night sky with the robot doll.
Ever since Chu Shici was caught by Su Zheyan taking a shower, the system had been dying of laughter.
It’s been nearly ten minutes, and it’s still laughing.
Chu Shici couldn’t help asking, ‘What are you laughing at? Tell me, make me happy too. ‘
The system laughed so hard that the ball-shaped body trembled, [When he rubbed you, didn’t you say that you were about to lose your skin. Since when did you have skin?! What’s peeling is the paint! Laughed me to death, I can’t do it anymore!]
Chu Shici tilted his head in confusion.
He thought for a while, pulled the corner of Su Zheyan’s clothes, and relayed the system’s words to him.
Su Zheyan’s expression was still stern, but his eyes were dull for a moment.
Chu Shici was satisfied.
It seems that his sense of humour is still normal, the only abnormality laid with the system.
Nights on the Desolate Star are full of dangers, and there seem to be countless monsters hidden in the darkness.
But to Su Zheyan, alpha felons are far more dangerous than monsters.
The Empire replaced the death penalty with exile to the Desolate Star.
There are only three kinds of people on Desolate Star, one, are the omegas and betas who hid their gender to join the army, the other are people who reveal state secrets and are punished as treason. Lastly, the most common here is the third type of criminals.
They either committed mass atrocities which caused a large number of people to die; or they are serial murderers or rapists.
Su Zheyan has been in Desolate Star for five days, and during this time, he has seen nearly a hundred alphas. Yet not a single sighting of omega or beta, so he doesn’t know if they were tortured and died or hid.
Alphas form gangs to hog nearby survival resources.
Su Zheyan is a beta.
When he went to the city to buy goods, a bunch of resources automatically followed behind him.
The alpha’s body was full of supplies, and he was yelling, “Catch the Beta, sleep with the Beta.”
Except for the first day, Su Zheyan was honestly looking for supplies.
In the next few days, he killed people for resources. It is a convenient, quick, time-saving and labour-saving method, and sometimes even gold coins can be found.
When he had nothing to do, Su Zheyan opened his backpack, put on his gloves and started counting the money he gained from the day’s harvest.
He wanted to buy something tomorrow, so he prepared the money first, lest he forget to bring it tomorrow.
Chu Shici picked up a gold coin and looked it up curiously, “Is this real gold?”
Su Zheyan didn’t say a word.
Thinking of the scenes often seen in costume dramas, Chu Shici held the gold coin and opened his mouth to take a bite, to see if he could make teeth marks.
Before he could speak, the gold coins were forcibly confiscated.
Under the light of the capsule cabin, one can vaguely see Su Zheyan’s disgusted expression.
“There are people who will hide gold coins in their shoes and socks. If you dare to continue biting it, I will throw you away.”
Chu Shici retorted instinctively, “How do you know? Where did you find it?”
Su Zheyan’s expression suddenly became very complicated, his face turned blue and then white, and finally black as if it’s going to drip ink the next instance.
Just when Chu Shici thought he was going to be beaten for his remarks, Su Zheyan chuckled mockingly: “I’m doing this to survive.”
After he finished speaking, he was silent for a long time, and while counting the money with his head bowed, he added softly: “I was wearing gloves when I searched, two layers.”*
*(2 layers of gloves)
The desolate night was depressingly silent, and the crinkling sound of counting the coins was particularly loud.
Even though Su Zheyan was expressionless, he could tell from his movements that he was in a bad mood.
Chu Shici also wanted to change the subject, but he had to bring it up again.
He stretched out his hand and whispered: “I like to sleep with my head on your arm. Otherwise I won’t be able to sleep. Please help me to wash my hands, staying up all night is not good for your health.”
After he finished speaking, he heard a light chuckle. The laughter was extremely faint, it sounded like an illusion.
When he looked up again, Su Zheyan still had that indifferent expression.
Picking up his metal left hand which only has four fingers, he wiped it carefully with a toothbrush.
The notification sound in his head told him that the vitality levels increased.
Chu Shici noticed that Su Zheyan’s movements were gentler than before.
The system doesn’t understand, [He is so angry with you, how can he still be happy?]
Chu Shici stared at Su Zheyan thoughtfully, ‘Maybe it’s just because I talked with him. ‘
He also thought of the first two days when he came here, Su Zheyan lay down to sleep immediately after finding supplies and eating.
At that time, he still felt that the hero was cold, but thinking about it now, maybe this is just what he was usually like.
There are no laws on the Desolate Star, and betas, as a vulnerable group, have no place to socialise comfortably.
Su Zheyan struggled to survive during the day and was wary of everyone who approached him.
In this small space at night, holding the relics left by his father, the only time he escaped loneliness was when he was sleeping.
Chu Shici sighed, this living environment is so bad, no wonder the hero is depressed.
After Su Zheyan closed the cabin hatch, Chu Shici ran to him and pulled out the antenna on his head.
He switched the channel to the music channel, and melodious light music sounded in the capsule cabin.
Su Zheyan touched the antenna with a little surprise, and the robot doll hugged his finger. The round eyes narrowed, the mouth changed from a rectangle to a semicircle, and the smile became an emoji.
Touching the little thing in his hand, listening to the music in his ear, for some reason, his mood suddenly improved.
Chu Shici raised his head in a daze.
The corners of the handsome man’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a very small smile. Unlike the usual cold and mocking smiles, this time his expression was gentle and relaxed as he smiled softly.
The light fell on him, and the blue eyes that were once as dark as the depths of the ocean gradually lit up.
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Chu Shici’s mind, [Vigor + 1, current vitality is 20/100.]
___
Early the next morning, when Chu Shici opened his eyes, he saw Su Zheyan carrying his backpack and was preparing to leave.
He stretched out his hands in a daze, “Take, take me out too.”
Su Zheyan supported the cabin hatch with one hand, and looked back at him.
Just when Chu Shici thought he was going to leave without a word, Su Zheyan said, “Someone is watching me, so you stay and watch the house. Someone may come in today, and there is a high probability that they will set a trap. You need to keep an eye on them. When I come back, warn me.”
Hearing what he said, Chu Shici instantly sobered up.
Before leaving, Su Zheyan told him again, “Hide well, don’t stand out and don’t resist. If they take you away, you need to fend for yourself. Don’t expect me to save you.”
Chu Shici nodded, quickly ran to hide under the bookshelf,
He poked his head out and wanted to say, ‘Be careful! ‘
However, he saw that there was already no one in the cabin, and the cabin hatch was tightly closed.
Chu Shici was about to talk to the system when the hatch opened again.
Su Zheyan leaned over and pushed him back, and warned him in a cold voice: “I told you to hide well. You are not allowed to peek until I come back.”
Originally Chu Shici planned to pass the time by listening to the radio during the day, but now he doesn’t even dare to pull out his antenna.
Unknown assailants will come at any time. He huddled under the bookshelf, tearing up notebooks and playing with them.
It was too boring just waiting for time to pass, and even though movies can be played in the system space, VIP is required.
2047 said that after completing the side mission, he will be granted a random world’s movie membership.
At present, Chu Shici could not exchange for any benefits.
After folding a few paper cranes, he got a little tired of playing. So he opened the diary to see if there were any updates.
It stands to reason that Su Zheyan got up an hour earlier than usual today, so Su Zheyan should not have time to write in his diary.
But when they turned to the sixth page, both Chu Shici and the system were stunned.
The first few pages were full of sporadic lines, but this page took up more than half of the page.
[I bought a skirt for the robot, he looked so cute wearing it. I will buy a few more sets. The robot doll gave me a paper heart, this is the first gift I received as an adult. I have to put it somewhere safe. His antenna is working again, and he can listen to music in the future.]
[When I’m not at home, what will he do, play by himself? He seems to remember where I keep the diary. There is not enough time in the morning, I will find another place to hide it at night.]
[What does the painting on the wall mean? Is it me, or did someone come to the capsule during the day? I remember the process of building the bookshelves and desks, and I have memories of everything else that happened in the capsule. But why can’t I remember the lines on the walls at all? Even if it appeared suddenly, I should still have an impression of what was going on.]
Chu Shici touched the diary and smiled triumphantly at the system, ‘Look, I just said that he lost a memory. ‘
He hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly there was the sound of several people talking outside.
Chu Shici immediately dragged the diary back under the bookshelf.
The voices are getting louder, and those people are approaching the capsule.
Through the transparent cover on the upper half, several men can be seen.
They were tall and strong, and looked much stronger than Su Zheyan who was a beta.
One of them held a device in his hand, and said to his companion, “Is the news accurate, that the beta lives here?”
The companion nodded, and the man clicked his tongue, “Damn it, if it weren’t for the extinction of omegas, who would like a beta. Lao san*, is he good-looking? If you like it, play with it first and then sell it. If he doesn’t look good, let’s just go to the market and sell it.”
*(third brother in arm)
“I was standing far away, so I didn’t see it clearly. I knew it was tall and thin, with blond hair and extremely fair skin.”
“Didn’t you go to the toy store to inquire about it? What did Zhang old man* say?”
*(Zhang – surname)
“The old man is a profiteer. I asked him what beta looked like, and he said that he had a dead man’s face*. I asked him if he looked good, and he said he was very good-looking, but your blood will run cold once you look directly at him. What is he saying? Nonsense, if it has a good-looking face, how can you not get excited? The starting does not match the ending. Old liar! Damn, cheated me of my money!”
*(emotionless)
Chu Shici, who was hiding under the bookshelf, eavesdropping: …
Zhang old man is really an honest businessman, and he exchanges information of equal value. He described Su Zheyan’s characteristics vividly and frankly, which was very appropriate.
