Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

Looking through the peephole, Mai Xiaowen saw nothing but darkness.

"Who?" she asked again.

There was no answer, but the other person rang the doorbell again.

"Zoya, aren't you being silly?" Mai Xiaowen pouted, assuming that Zoya was just being playful.

As for the possibility that he might be a dangerous element in society?

She didn't have that idea.

Security at the Demon King residential complex is extremely tight; security personnel would never allow two people to enter without the residents' consent.

Even if someone manages to sneak into the community, Mai Xiaowen isn't afraid.

Each of the Demon King's protectors possesses physical abilities at least at the level of Mike Tyson. Those so-called dangerous individuals who want to harm the Demon King's protectors should first consider how many punches they could withstand from them.

For both of these reasons, Mai Xiaowen had no more concerns and turned the doorknob, making a creaking sound.

"Didn't you just come here yesterday? Why are you here again—"

As she was speaking, Mai Xiaowen suddenly stopped, her pupils slowly contracting.

Bai Kang smiled and said, "Wheat."

In the blink of an eye, Mai Xiaowen reacted swiftly, her breath surging as she prepared to close the door.

"what!"

A poor soul managed to grab the door just before it was closed, his screams were heartbreaking and brought tears to the eyes of all who heard them.

A few minutes later,

Bai Kang sat on the sofa with a grin on his face. Mai Xiaowen squatted in front of him, holding iodine and cotton swabs, carefully applying medicine to Bai Kang's wound.

He kept complaining, "Are you stupid? How could you block the door with your hand? Now look what happened, you have bruises all over."

Although Mai Xiaowen kept complaining, the worry in her eyes was unmistakable, and her movements were extremely gentle.

"Hehe, if I hadn't blocked you, I probably wouldn't be seeing you today," Bai Kangle said with a grin, seemingly unconcerned about his injuries.

Mai Xiaowen paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "What do you mean you can't see me? Do you think I'd turn you away? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Hard to say... Ouch! Be gentle, be gentle." Bai Kang felt a sharp pain in his wrist, his face contorted, and he quickly instructed.

Mai Xiaowen pursed her lips, carefully placed the iodine solution, and then took out a bandage from her home medical kit to bandage Bai Kang.

Mai Xiaowen lowered her head and carefully bandaged Bai Kang's wound.

Since she was at home, she wasn't wearing a mask or makeup, showing her most authentic self.

Strands of silver hair hung in mid-air, like the extreme silver spray of a cascading waterfall.

Bai Kang gazed quietly at the woman before him, whose beauty and character captivated him. His voice softened as he gently asked:

"Wheat, why are you avoiding me? I don't think I've done anything to upset you, have I?"

Mai Xiaowen kept her head down, her silver hair obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

"Avoiding you? No, I've just been busy lately."

As she spoke, she looked up and smiled sweetly, "Have you been under too much pressure lately as a freshman? Are you overthinking things?"

Her expression was so natural that an ordinary person couldn't find a single flaw.

But Bai Kang had been the boss in the Delta for several years, and his ability to read people was superb.

The moment Mai Xiaowen looked up, he knew she was lying.

"Whether I'm overthinking things or you're avoiding the issue, you know the answer in your heart." Bai Kang gently reached out and grasped Mai Xiaowen's slender hand.

Mai Xiaowen has a small frame, and Bai Kang can easily grasp her wrist with a light touch. His hand is a little cool, which feels very comfortable.

He took Mai Xiaowen's hand and placed it on the spot pressed against his heart, his eyes sincere, and said earnestly:

"Xiaomai, you're the one overthinking things. We're boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't we? I really hope you can tell me about your problems."

"Since you're willing to tell Zoya, why can't you tell me?"

Mai Xiaowen felt a thumping, drum-like heartbeat coming from her palm. [Said's Bond] was activated, and the fiery, booming heart seemed to spread along her arm, affecting her heart.

It's warm, comfortable, and reassuring...

In that instant, she almost wanted to tell Bai Kang the truth that haunted her like a nightmare: she often returned to that place when the night was quiet.

Back at the space base, facing the Crimson Owl mask that enraged her, she endured his humiliation time and time again.

Perhaps Bai Kang could accept herself as she was, but she couldn't accept spending the rest of her life with him in this state.

She took a deep breath and said softly, "Zoya told you?"

Bai Kang shook his head. "She didn't tell me anything. Any normal person could sense your unusual behavior."

Mai Xiaowen was silent for a moment, then said coolly, "I want to kill someone."

Bai Kang's heart skipped a beat, as if he had realized something, and his expression slowly changed.

No way...

"Who?" he asked timidly.

Please, please don't let it be the one I'm thinking of...

"A person who exists in the subspace."

Bai Kang only felt a blur before his eyes.

Damn it, he could guess who it was even with his toes after killing someone who existed in the warp.

That's me!

This is like shooting himself in the foot; he never imagined that he was the root cause of Mai Xiaowen's psychological problems.

At that moment, he almost blurted out that he was the one who had been messing with him, Said.

However, reason prevailed at the last moment.

If you don't believe me, you'll have to sound them out first and see how determined Xiaomai is.

"Cough cough cough!" Bai Kang coughed three times tactically, testing the waters.

"Um... Xiaomai, how much do you want to kill that person?"

"I've been dreaming of this!" Mai Xiaowen replied without hesitation, her expression ruthless.

"It's over!" Bai Kang thought to himself with a shriek like a groundhog.

"Is killing him absolutely necessary?" Bai Kang asked weakly.

"We must kill him; only one of us can survive."

Barbie Q! Bai Kang screamed twice in his mind.

"What if... what if that person has some kind of hidden reason?" Bai Kang asked cautiously.

"Even if he's doing it to save the world, I must kill him!"

Forget it, let the world end. Bai Kang wanted to cry but had no tears.

This wheat's killing intent was unwavering, like a stabilizing pillar in a vast ocean, unshakable by anyone.

Bai Kang made a judgment in his mind.

If I were to tell Xiaomai now that I am the one who messed with her, would Xiaomai's love for me be able to suppress her hatred?

the answer is……

Maybe, probably, perhaps, it shouldn't be possible.

A picture appeared in Bai Kang's mind.

Wheat straddled him with a data-throwing knife, slicing his flesh again and again, until she bled herself to death.

Wow, that's terrifying!

In just one second, Bai Kang rejected the idea of ​​telling Xiaomai the truth.

He gave a fawning smile and said indignantly:

"Damn it! How could he make my wheat so angry? That guy in the subspace is such a bastard! If I ever run into him, I'll make sure he doesn't get away with it!"

……

(His identity will be exposed soon, dear readers, please don't worry. Here's a spoiler: his identity will be exposed around the time he comes out of the subspace.)

At that time, Mai Xiaowen will assert her dominance, and become the main character, perhaps... a yandere?

Hehehehe...)

The next plot point is entering the subspace.
