I already said this is not a life simulator!

We are connected by blood, we will never be separated...

She and "Mother" have helped me a lot, but I have nothing to give back to them... At the end of "this time", I will prepare a little "thank you gift".

Xiwang thought so.

"Senior brother?"

Ah... now that I think about it, I've already messed with a lot of girls...

Not to mention that the doctor has been eyeing her this time... Really, is this feeling the doctor's possessiveness of the "special sample"? Or does he really... like her?

Ha... I never thought that the doctor who used to complain about Blanca's love affair would end up like this... If the doctor himself noticed it, he would probably spend a lot of time struggling with it, right? Especially feeling distressed about having such feelings for himself.

However, the Doctor has already been so proactive, it seems a bit unreasonable not to respond... Haha, as expected, I am still greedy. I already have Eden and Sakura, but now I don’t feel repulsed by the Doctor’s approach just because I like him "this time".

He really “rejects everyone who comes”... He even knows how to use excuses like “like as much as you want, love as much as you want”... Haha, it turns out that I am a scumbag...

But I really can't let go of it... Really, it's hard to explain when it comes to emotional issues.

...No, that's not right. I can't focus my thoughts on this kind of thing now. Maybe I can advance it simultaneously, or maybe it can be used as a spice in the process of "moving forward", reminding myself why I'm "moving forward"...but I must not get obsessed with it and stop.

Before reaching the "end" that she wants, she must not... No, the Doctor must realize this herself... She must not be too concerned about herself.

"Brother!!!"

Danzhu stood in front of Xiwang, waving his wide sleeves and shouting loudly.

"Uh-huh?"

It was not until this moment that Xiwang broke free from his thoughts. Looking at Danzhu in front of him, who had obviously called him several times but seemed a little angry because he did not respond, Xiwang said with a hint of apology.

"I'm sorry, Danzhu, I was just thinking about something... I'm still a little weak, so my mind isn't very flexible, please forgive me."

"……I can tell."

Danzhu looked at Xiwang's pale face, then at Xiwang's obviously unsteady steps, and nodded in understanding.

However... Danzhu's eyes were mostly fixed on the red mark on Xiwang's neck, the mark that was obviously caused by a "kiss"...

Uh... forget it, I'd better not say it. I feel like I'll die miserably if I tell it - Danzhu, aware of some danger, decided it would be better not to mention it.

"...Brother, would you like something to drink?"

Klein at the side hesitated for a while, but still handed over his milk tea and asked.

"Sugar can replenish physical strength very well. We bought this cup outside. Although it is slightly different from what you made, the taste is almost the same..."

“…Klein, have you ever had this cup?”

Xiwang reminded helplessly.

“…Oh, sorry.”

Klein blinked blankly, a slight blush flashed across his face. He withdrew his hand apologetically, pulled out the straw from the cup, turned it around, reinserted it, and then handed it to Xiwang.

"This way... it should be fine."

“…Klein, do you want to listen to what you are saying?”

"Actually, I don't really mind..."

Klein said quietly.

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing."

Klein hesitated for a while, then shook his head and took back the milk tea in his hand.

"Brother, you should go back and rest early. It's best to go to the cafeteria and eat something rich to replenish your body."

"Ah."

Xiwang nodded.

"........."

Danzhu on the side widened her eyes, pointed at the mark on Xiwang's neck, then pointed at Klein, her eyes kept moving back and forth, and finally she covered her mouth, as if she had discovered something... I really don't know what she was thinking about.

"...Danzhu, is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"

"Ah, no...no, I just wanted to remind you, brother, that you forgot to put on your shoes."

Danzhu waved his hands quickly, not daring to say much. He just pointed at Xiwang's still bare feet and gestured.

"Oh...thank you for reminding me, I forgot."

Xi Wang nodded, walked back slowly, put on his shoes, and then slowly left the laboratory.

Danzhu quietly returned to his position, came close to Cangxuan and spoke in a low voice.

"Cang Xuan, did you see that? Senior brother looks like that!"

"........."

"He was pale, his steps were unsteady, and his mind was wandering (mainly because of excessive blood loss). I called him several times before he responded. And the most important thing is the mark on his neck. It was obviously caused by the doctor, right?"

"........."

"Plus, I saw the doctor come out of there every day with a smile on his face (because he collected good data), and he was very energetic (actually, it was because of his research desire that made Mebius very excited)... As expected! The two of them are in there... [that], right?"

Danzhu made a somewhat [strange] gesture, and a somewhat [subtle] expression appeared on his face.

"Ah... But I didn't expect the doctor to be so ruthless. My brother's injury had just healed, but he actually wanted to lock him up like this... And for so many days, it's really too much."

"But Brother is still able to hold on and even walk on his own... How amazing!"

"...Cang Xuan, why don't you speak?"

"........."

Cang Xuan remained silent.

"Haha, keep talking. I love listening."

Meanwhile, at the side, the voice of Mebius with a hint of smile came quietly.

(Cang Xuan: Guess why I don’t speak)

“Ah… Ahahaha… Dr. Mobius…”

"It's okay, keep talking, I love listening."

Facing the extremely nervous Danzhu, Mebius just crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, and said with a smile.

"Ah this..."

"Go on, why don't you say anything?"

"…I'm sorry, Doctor, I was wrong!"

Danzhu chose to give in.

"Yeah, good."

Mebius nodded happily.

"Klein happens to have some data that needs help processing, so you can stay and work overtime tonight."

"Yes……"

When Danzhu heard the word "overtime", he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

"........."

In response to this, Cang Xuan just remained silent... I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die, Danzhu, you can go with peace of mind.

……

…………

"Haha... I knew it."

After walking slowly to the cafeteria and ordering a fairly hearty meal for himself, Xiwang sighed again.

From the time he left the laboratory and went to the cafeteria, to now when he was eating, other people's eyes had hardly ever left him.

It's nothing, it's simply because of his pale complexion and the overly conspicuous mark on his neck... It's really too attractive and it's easy for people to imagine things.

But even so, Xi Wang had no intention of covering it up...mainly because there was absolutely no need to do so.

It doesn't matter if other people misunderstand me... and if I try to cover it up, it will cause Mebius' dissatisfaction... which is even more unnecessary.

Since you want to respond to her, there is no need to deliberately cover up the "mark" she has put on yourself.

However, Xi Wang's appearance still easily attracted some people's attention.

such as……

"…Alicea, what do you want from me?"

Xi Wang put down the spoon, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and politely asked the girl sitting opposite him.

"Really? Can't I even show some concern for you? Your tone is so repulsive. That's too much~"

Alicia said in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Do you really hate me, Xiwang?"

Alicia looked at Xi Wang's strange three-color eyes with her blue and pink eyes, wanting to get some answers from him.

"……not at all."

Xi Wang was silent for a while before shaking his head and denying it.

Xi Wang naturally doesn't dislike this girl who appears "every time" and occupies different positions.

But to say that I like it... I can't really say that. I can even say that I am somewhat repulsed by it.

After all, the previous [results]... were not very good.

Not to mention, the "path" he has chosen now is not recognized by her.

At least "this time", there is a high probability that she will not approve of it.

and so……

"I don't hate you, Alicia."

Xiwang responded calmly.

"But...I don't really want to touch you."

"……Why?"

Alicia was stunned. She could vaguely sense that there was something else behind Xiwang's words.

"Because afterwards, you'll probably hate me."

"...What are you talking about, Xiwang, how could I hate you? I can't wait to like you~?"

Alicia retorted with a smile.

"If that's the case, it would be great."

Xiwang lowered his eyes, picked up the spoon again, and ate quickly and politely.

"...Alicia."

"Hmm? What's up~?"

"How much would you be willing to pay for [humanity]?"

Xi Wang suddenly asked a very strange question in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"...If it's for [humanity], then it's all mine~?"

Alicia sat up straighter and straightened her attitude a little... Ever since she vaguely guessed that Xi Wang might be her [companion], she knew that she would definitely hear this question one day.

The fact that Xi Wang asked this question also proved that her guess... was correct.

Although the answer is still hazy and unclear, but... at least it is a "evidence", isn't it?

"after all……"

"After all, you like [Humans] the most, right?"

Xi Wang suddenly raised his head, looked at her and answered quickly.
