Chapter 90: I Like You
The youth behind her let out a soft “Mm.”
The punished hand was raised, sweeping past the girl’s cheek to reach backward. Mo Yin licked the finger that had been bitten until it hurt, then untiringly placed it back against the girl’s lips.
So soft.
I want to bite here too.
Detecting the moisture appearing on the finger that had returned, Xie Qiang’s eyes flew open. Completely forgetting her current situation, she turned around and glared at Mo Yin. “Do… do you have any sense of hygiene!”
Mo Yin blinked. Then, those dark gold wolf pupils were drawn by something unknown and involuntarily began to drift downward.
The moment he touched the girl’s snow-white skin, his face suddenly flushed. He hurriedly and awkwardly withdrew his gaze, letting it drift elsewhere.
I want to bite even more.
The wolf youth thought dizzily. The heartbeat in his chest was practically like a drum. Through their skin, they could clearly perceive the increasingly rapid frequency.
Xie Qiang’s temper vanished under the sound of his heartbeat. With a red face, she clutched her chest and stared straight ahead. In front of her was the youth’s Adam’s apple, which protruded slightly on his neck, rolling up and down with every swallowing motion—it was incredibly sexy.
Xie Qiang’s throat couldn’t help but swallow a few times as well.
Feeling like she was about to be seduced by the youth’s sexy appearance, she hurried to close her eyes tight and said to him, “Mo Yin, let’s sleep quickly.”
To her surprise, the youth actually shook his head.
He lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers. His narrow wolf eyes stared straight at her. In his eyes, which usually held no emotion, there was now a surging, longing desire. “Want to bite.”
Xie Qiang was completely stunned. “What?”
Did I hear that wrong?
Mo Yin lowered his head, rubbing his cheek against the girl’s face, then looked at her with a look of longing.
Xie Qiang was so scared she hurried to cover her cheek. “No!”
The youth was not discouraged in the slightest. His gaze moved down, landing on her shoulder, and then he looked at her with shining eyes.
Xie Qiang covered her shoulder as well, saying firmly, “No!”
This time, Mo Yin pursed his lips. He stared at the girl with a serious face, as if silently protesting her heartlessness. Just as Xie Qiang’s heart was softening, thinking about letting him take one bite on her shoulder, Mo Yin looked toward the girl’s chest with a solemn face.
Xie Qiang: “…”
Three seconds later, the youth rubbed his forehead where he’d been smacked, his lips pouting aggrievedly.
Why can others do it, but not him?
Mo Yin felt a bit suffocated, and his mouth felt sour as if he’d eaten a sour fruit. He felt a bit unwilling, so he lowered his head to press against Xie Qiang’s cheek and rubbed vigorously again.
“Want to bite (。•́︿•̀。)”
Xie Qiang: “…” “No acting cute.”
Mo Yin revealed his wolf ears, using the fluffy tips to rub against her neck and chin. “Want…”
Xie Qiang wavered for a moment but quickly became firm again. “You cannot.”
Mo Yin’s rubbing stopped. He raised his eyes with a confused look, feeling a bit lost. “Why?”
Was he not good-looking?
Or… does she like Brother?
Mo Yin felt a pain in his chest, just like when he was a child and had tried hard to hold that man’s hand, but the man had held Brother’s hand instead, looking at him with a cold and disdainful gaze: “You are not as good as him.”
She also thinks he is not as good as Brother.
The more the youth thought, the more distressed he became. Suddenly, tears went pitter-patter as they fell from beneath his lashes.
Xie Qiang was in disbelief when she saw this. She raised her hand and wiped the teardrops from the youth’s face. “You’re crying?”
Are the Sentinels here all so prone to crying?
In the original novel, it never said these S-class Sentinels cried!
Xie Qiang couldn’t help but begin to reflect. Could it be that here, refusing a Sentinel’s request to “bite” was a very overboard thing to do?
“Don’t like me?” The youth’s wolf eyes were misty. He hung his head, not daring to look at the girl, just continuously crying. “But I… like you.”
Xie Qiang’s eyes snapped wide. She almost thought she was hallucinating. “What?”
“Like you.”
The youth Sentinel sobbed softly, holding the girl tight and rubbing against her cheek. With the movement, their closely pressed bodies couldn’t help but heat up. Xie Qiang wanted to gain some distance, but she gave up the idea because the youth was crying so heart-wrenchingly.
She could only reach out and pet the youth’s wolf ears, then bury his head in her nape. “It’s not that I don’t like you.”
But rather…
Xie Qiang couldn’t say what she felt for Mo Yin. She seemed to have become accustomed to Mo Yin being by her side, but if she said she liked him…
Did she like Mo Yin?
Xie Qiang couldn’t help but remember when she was first adopted. Her adoptive father had taken her to buy a pet. She had stared at a little orange cat in a cage, and her father had asked her, “Do you like it?”
She had asked in confusion, “What is ‘like’?”
Her father thought for a moment and said, “It means seeing it makes you very happy, and the thought of someone else buying it makes you feel sad.”
Xie Qiang pursed her lips and thought. If one day, Mo Yin became another Guide’s Sentinel…
Her heart suddenly felt stifled.
She lightly clutched her chest. When she realized she was actually unwilling to see Mo Yin like someone else or become someone else’s Sentinel, she felt both helpless and lost—even a bit panicked.
She actually… liked both Sen Ji and Mo Yin at the same time?
So Hong Que wasn’t talking nonsense; she really was a fickle girl?
Xie Qiang fell into a slight silence.
In her mind, she couldn’t help but recall that after choosing the orange cat, she had stopped in front of a little gray dog.
“You like this one too?” Her father’s kind voice rang out. “If you like it, then raise it as well. It looks like it likes you very much too.”
“Daughter, you must remember. Since you can have them all, there is no need to choose.”
“Anyway, they all like you very much and need you.”
Xie Qiang cupped the youth’s face, looking at him seriously. “Do you really like me?”
Mo Yin, with his misty wolf eyes, gave a soft “Mm.”
He liked her vibrant vitality, and her beautiful cat eyes looking at him with focus.
He liked her always staying by his side, never finding him boring.
He liked that she would wipe his wounds and would cry when she saw him injured.
Like.
He liked her so much.
Liked her so much that even if she was Brother’s, he wanted to snatch her away.
“Alright.” Xie Qiang lay flat, giving up. “Then come and bite.”
Anyway, in this interstellar world, having two Sentinels was a very common thing.
She also didn’t want to see Mo Yin sad.
“Be a bit gentle, okay.”
The wolf youth gave two hums. Having received permission, he didn’t bite down immediately. Instead, he raised his nose and kept rubbing lightly against the girl’s nape. “Soft… like.”
His rubbing was simply too ticklish. Xie Qiang’s face turned red from holding it in. She grabbed his hair and scolded softly, “What are you rubbing for? Didn’t you want to bite?”
Mo Yin raised his eyes, blinking a few times. “Once the bite is done, you won’t let me rub anymore.”
Xie Qiang: “…”
Wait, was he faking his innocence this whole time?
Mo Yin continued rubbing. As he rubbed, the hand holding the girl suddenly jerked as if it had been burned by something.
It hurts.
