Chi Yu had a slight smile on his face as he lowered his eyes to look at Su Mo. His face was calm, but he was actually a bit nervous.
This was the first time he had completely exposed himself in front of someone else. They might both be men but…
Su Mo was different from everyone else.
From his perspective, he wasn’t covered in the so-called holy light. He wasn’t sure if Su Mo had deceived him before.
However, Su Mo was a person who couldn’t hide things.
Su Mo’s eyes widened and an expression of heartache and grief appeared on his face. This allowed Chi Yu to know that he made the right bet.
The smile on his face deepened and the shyness in his heart dissipated a lot.
In any case, Su Mo couldn’t see it.
Next, Chi Yu slowly walked to the bathroom upstairs without wearing shoes. He walked barefoot on the clean floor.
In Su Mo’s eyes, Chi Yu was completely covered by a dazzling white light from neck to knees, completely covered with no leakage at all.
But such a scene was even more tempting because he knew… Chi Yu actually wasn’t wearing anything!
Just imagining that scene made him so hot-blooded that his nose was itchy and about to bleed.
He stared straight at Chi Yu’s feet. The young man’s thin white feet stepped on the dark carpet. The strong visual contrast brought a huge impact, making him reluctant to blink.
He couldn’t help thinking if he could hold these feet and play with them…
Su Mo forced himself to look away, but the sumptuous breakfast on the table felt tasteless. He didn’t even need to close his eyes. The scene just now still lingered in his mind.
Looking at the clothes left by Chi Yu on the sofa, Su Mo couldn’t help holding his chest. What bath so early in the morning? This was just torturing him!
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Finally, he was so hot-blooded that he simply dropped his breakfast and chased after Chi Yu upstairs.
Splash.
The sound of water came from the bathroom. Unexpectedly, Chi Yu was really taking a bath.
Su Mo came to the bathroom door and hesitated for a moment until the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Then he gritted his teeth, grasped the door handle and pulled it tentatively. Unexpectedly, the door actually opened.
Chi Yu hadn’t locked the door!
The moment he raised his eyes, he saw Chi Yu with his red hair loose, stepping into the bathtub.
The man’s lower body was still shrouded in the white light, but his white and slender waist and back were left in the steam, giving Su Mo a throbbing glimpse.
The moment Chi Yu sat in the water and turned to look at him, Su Mo came back to his senses and complained first. “Why didn’t you lock the door when taking a bath?”
This wasn’t a good habit.
Chi Yu supported his chin with one hand. Seeing Su Mo’s red face and stubborn attitude, he couldn’t help smiling, “I’m waiting for you.”
Su Mo, “……”
He saw Chi Yu’s smile and his heart became itchy. His ears uncontrollably became hot.
“Come here.” Chi Yu hooked a finger at him and Su Mo couldn’t help walking over.
Chi Yu sat in the bathtub, the water reaching his chest. The shining white light below made his round shoulders even more shiny and attractive.
Su Mo couldn’t help swallowing. He said with difficulty, “Wife, this is very dangerous…”
Chi Yu ignored him and asked him to crouch down. Then he reached out and gently pinched Su Mo’s chin, leaning over to kiss him.
His kiss was a bit awkward, full of exploration and experimentation, but there was also a different type of tenderness and lingering.
How could Su Mo withstand this?
He retained his last bit of rationality, holding onto the edge of the bathtub with both hands, not daring to touch Chi Yu for even a moment.
He knew that if he suddenly disappeared again this time, he probably wouldn’t be able to recover and Chi Yu would be very angry.
Chi Yu might be teasing him right now, but to be honest, he really enjoyed this type of teasing…
The two young men, both of whom had average kissing skills, kissed each other again until they were almost suffocated before letting go of each other.
Chi Yu soaked in the hot water, the blush on his cheeks deepening. He stared at Su Mo and softly expressed his guess. “So we can only kiss and nothing else?”
Su Mo was still savoring the kiss just now. He had tasted hot chocolate. After hearing this, a hint of apology appeared in his eyes and he nodded truthfully.
Chi Yu wondered, “Then why can we suddenly kiss?”
“It is because it is our one year anniversary together.”
Su Mo continued, “This should be considered a test. Maybe other restrictions can be lifted in the future… if we stay together…”
Su Mo wasn’t entirely sure. Who knew if the dog planners would carry out the harmony plan to the end? After all, it was so strict now.
However, the conditions were so harsh that there probably weren’t many people who could finally unlock interactive actions with NPCs. Those who could succeed were basically true love like them.
Moreover, this type of unlocking should be very personal. It was definitely impossible to take a photo of it, which would prevent its spread and greatly reduce the risk of being reported.
Su Mo certainly hoped to continue unlocking it.
In this way, at least he wouldn’t be as desperate as before. Life was so long and he hadn’t wanted Chi Yu to suffer for him.
Just as he was thinking these things, Chi Yu’s palm gently stroked his cheek. Then he leaned toward Su Mo’s ear and said slowly, “Husband, I’m standing up.”
Su Mo trembled all over due to this name and he became elated. He subconsciously responded, “Wife!”
Then he suddenly realized something was wrong.
What? Was the second half of the sentence what he thought? He stared at Chi Yu with wide eyes. Then he looked down, but he could only see a vast expanse of holy light, nothing else.
Woo, he hated it. QAQ.
Su Mo showed a pitiful expression while Chi Yu still had a smile on his face, but his cheeks and neck were all red. It could be seen that he wasn’t as calm as he looked.
Then he leaned close to Su Mo’s ear, kissed his earlobe gently, and whispered, “You don’t have to do anything. Just… look at me.”
It wasn’t until this time that Su Mo realized his punishment wasn’t over yet.
Should he say, ‘He is truly worthy of being my wife! He plays by the rules so well! Who is the real player?’ However, this was his wife. What could he do except pamper Chi Yu?
Thus, Su Mo spent this special first anniversary in both happiness and pain.
They had already taken a day off, planning to spend some time together as a couple. So Su Lin also gave himself a vacation and went shooting in the city of Redborough Capital Star.
For Su Lin, everything about Redborough was new to him.
It was peaceful and stable here, without war. It was just like his ideal home. However, looking at the cold and hard metal eyes, he still felt that everything in Roland made him feel at ease and warm.
But at least here, safety could be guaranteed. In such a comfortable environment, Su Lin was like a sponge. He quickly absorbed new knowledge he came into contact with.
The instant translation function of the communicator undoubtedly helped him a lot.
He was able to communicate in the universal language, but he still needed a translator most of the time. He occasionally encountered some situations…
For example, some people took advantage of the fact that he couldn’t understand the local language and would say something to belittle the Roland Empire in front of him. The contemptuous tone and attitude made it difficult for Su Lin to ignore it.
Although this situation was rare and most people were friendly to him, Su Lin truly felt the sorrow of a weak country.
If the Roland Empire wanted to truly become powerful, it was far from enough to get rid of the crisis of the interstellar beasts.
Su Lin deeply loved his motherland and worshiped and respected their emperor. He also believed their emperor would lead them to the interstellar space and let people all over the universe witness Roland’s power.
Now he had become one of the screws, sent here by His Majesty. He must do his job well!
So after a day of sightseeing, Su Lin, Chi Yu and the others once again devoted themselves to the construction of the short-distance teleportation circles. They rarely paid attention to other things.
Su Lin liked to work with Chi Yu very much. He had discovered that as long as Chi Yu participated in the construction project, their speed would be greatly improved and the error rate would be much lower.
As for Su Mo, his talent in magic circles was beyond Su Lin’s reach and Su Lin also admired him very much. Su Lin felt he could learn a lot by following Su Mo.
He also felt deeply honored that they invited him to join them on their business trip. The three of them naturally achieved twice the result with half the effort when working together.
As the days passed, the three magic circle masters from the Roland Empire focused on their work.
A week later, Chi Yu successfully optimized the blueprint of the short distance teleportation circle, reducing two structures and directly shortening the construction time by 20%.
Once this blueprint was sent to Roland, it was recognized and praised by Master Dominic. It would probably be promoted to magic circle masters across the country soon.
With the end of the war between the Roland Empire and the Bewatt Empire, the results of the war spread throughout the universe in a very short time.
Su Lin and the others soon felt that the attitude of the people of the Redborough Federation towards them had changed dramatically.
This was what Su Lin learned later. Regarding the order for the teleportation circle, the Redborough Federation was actually divided into two factions. Those who liked to sneer at them before were mostly members of the opposition.
Now, all those voices had disappeared.
Those who were indifferent to them or even deliberately made things difficult for them in the past had all changed their attitudes. They might not be extremely respectful, but they put in some effort to show respect.
After all, the Redborough Federation wasn’t a military power in the universe, and they were so close to the Roland Empire. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Roland Empire was no longer an existence they could afford to offend.
Now that the two sides had this friendly and cooperative relationship, they naturally had to seize it well.
Such changes made Su Lin and Chi Yu realize how important it was for the motherland to become strong, and their desire to make contributions to Roland became stronger.
Finally, at Su Mo’s suggestion, they added a small thing to the formation.
So when the ten short distance teleportation circles were completed and officially opened to the public, those who stepped into the circle for the first time saw a violet badge rising slowly in mid-air, with the following words appearing on it:
“Welcome to the Roland Empire’s teleportation circle!”
