Chapter 89 – Rough Star Pirate Leader VS War God Empire Prince [AA] (16)
Tonight, the dishes on the dinner table appeared extremely exquisite and romantic, and Mu Jin thought it was his lover’s desire to have a romantic evening together. After all, living together occasionally required such intimacy, so he naturally accepted it.
After the meal, Mu Jin happily planted a kiss on Chester’s lips, expressing his joy and gratitude for the delightful meal.
Chester, feeling even more excited after Mu Jin’s kiss, felt that he had found the right path.
So, in the following days, he continued to dress in similar clothes, displaying a refined appearance. He even went out of his way to perform those so-called noble etiquettes in front of Mu Jin, which made Mu Jin realize that something was amiss.
After carefully observing his lover, Mu Jin decided to have a proper conversation with Chester that evening.
After another candlelit dinner, watching Chester holding a wine glass and trying to imitate wine tasting with a couple of shakes, Mu Jin frowned slightly.
Such traditional practices were no longer popular in the royal family, especially in this era where everyone drank nutrient fluid everywhere. Mu Jin wondered where Chester learned such things.
Mu Jin pursed his lips, walked up to Chester, and asked, “Chester, what’s going on? I feel like you’ve been acting strange lately.”
Upon hearing Mu Jin’s words, Chester, looking a bit guilty, quickly smiled and said, “No, Xiao Jin, have I been behaving poorly lately? Don’t you like me in this way?”
Mu Jin, hearing Chester’s words, felt a bit stunned. So, did his lover do all this because he thought Mu Jin would like it?
He couldn’t help but shake his head at Chester’s words and said, “No, you haven’t behaved poorly. I think you’re good no matter how you are. But, Chester, I feel like you’ve been making things difficult for yourself lately.”
The man, hearing Mu Jin say this, tensed up and slumped down, feeling frustrated.
He put down the glass, messed up his neatly combed hair, and raised his head, looking quite disappointed as he said to Mu Jin, “I’m sorry, Xiao Jin, I still haven’t done it right.”
“I wanted to learn those noble practices to make you happy. After all, you come from a big family, and being with someone like me, a rough person, must be uncomfortable for you.”
Mu Jin, hearing his lover’s words, felt helpless. He didn’t expect that his lover really did all this to make him happy. Although he felt his man was a bit silly, he couldn’t help but be moved.
Mu Jin bent down, gently cupped his lover’s face, looked into his amber eyes reflecting his own image, and kissed Chester’s forehead, saying softly, “But I love you just the way you are. No matter how you look, my love for you is genuine.”
Being comforted so gently by his beloved, the man felt warmth in his heart. The intense focus in the other’s eyes made him feel truly cherished.
Xiao Jin was so caring and understanding; how could there be such a perfect and considerate lover in the world? Chester even had a illusion that Mu Jin truly loved him at this moment, genuinely liked him from the bottom of his heart, even if he hadn’t spoken those lies.
Unable to control himself, he hugged Mu Jin tightly, breathing in the scent of his lover and softly asked, “Do you love me?”
Mu Jin, hearing Chester’s question, chuckled and replied naturally, “Of course, I love you. Why else would I be with you? I really don’t know what goes on in your head every day.”
Hearing Mu Jin’s words, Chester blushed, rare for him, and with a slightly awkward expression, he said, “But Bishop said, considering your background, you should prefer someone more refined, not someone like me, a messy guy who doesn’t even shave.”
To win Mu Jin’s favor, his lover went so far as to change himself, even becoming the kind of person he originally disliked. This humble love made Mu Jin feel heartbroken.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the pain in his heart. He looked at the man and said seriously, word by word: “Who says my man is scruffy? My man is clearly the most handsome and charming man in the world!”
Saying this, Mu Jin kissed the high bridge of Chester’s nose and lightly nibbled on the man’s earlobe, feeling his lover’s intimate actions. The man blushed instantly, not expecting the little guy to have such a seductive side. His heart raced rapidly, and despite knowing he shouldn’t bring it up, he couldn’t help but ask.
“Xiao Jin, if, I mean, if. If one day you regain your memory and find out that I’m not your lover, will you hate me?”
Mu Jin, hearing Chester’s words, was momentarily stunned, thinking that the man was about to confess, but he didn’t expect him to just look at him in silence, a somewhat anxious and nervous look on his face.
His gaze involuntarily softened, realizing that the man was practically admitting it. He said softly, “Chester, what do you mean by that? Are you really lying to me?”
Chester, hearing Mu Jin’s question, looked a bit flustered, shook his head, and said, “No, it’s just a random question. Let’s forget I said anything.”
Expecting not to get an answer, Mu Jin unexpectedly showed a gentle smile to Chester, reached out to touch his face, nodded, and murmured, “I think, even if we weren’t lovers in the past, I would still fall in love with you. After all, Chester, you’re really great, you just don’t know it yourself.”
Mu Jin’s words filled the man’s heart with joy, but soon he couldn’t think about this question anymore because his lover had taken the initiative to kiss his lips.
Surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere, Mu Jin even pulled himself up from the seat, using those captivating cat-like eyes to lead him into the room. The two of them passionately kissed their way back to the bedroom, and Mu Jin’s unabashed invitation made it nearly impossible for Chester to resist.
Originally hesitant to go any further, Chester found himself unable to resist Mu Jin’s allure. He succumbed to Mu Jin’s advances, unable to hold back, and let his lover’s gentle hands assist him.
Afterward, despite feeling guilty, Chester couldn’t help but be satisfied. He pampered Mu Jin by massaging his sore wrists and showering kisses on his cheeks, expressing his love.
Seeing the sweet-smiling little guy nestled in his arms, Chester felt incredibly happy. Everything felt like a dream, and he wished he could stay in this dream forever.
However, the man’s joy didn’t last long. By midnight, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain. Moreover, he struggled to suppress the violent emotions hidden in his heart, knowing that this was a precursor to a mental power outbreak.
For Alphas, higher mental power meant a higher risk of outbreaks, requiring an Omega of a compatible level to help them regulate it.
Unfortunately, Chester had not found a suitable partner in all these years. The mental domain was a highly private area for anyone, not to be touched casually by others. Typically, Alpha mental domains were groomed by their own partners because it required absolute trust.
If an ill-intentioned person entered during a vulnerable moment and attacked the brain, it could lead to a loss of life.
However, the higher the mental power of an Alpha, the harder it was to find a matching partner, as lower-level Omega abilities were insufficient to regulate mental powers spanning too many levels.
Although some suppression could be achieved through medication, it was not a permanent solution. Over time, the Alpha could go mad due to mental power outbreaks.
In recent years, Chester had been suffering from mental power outbreaks, despite being a powerful Alpha. On Das Star, where Omegas were abundant and eager to please him, he resisted their advances because he refused to casually find an Omega to regulate his mental power.
Meeting Mu Jin, Chester realized that he would never have a chance with an Omega again, as he would only love this one person for the rest of his life.
Mu Jin, for now, didn’t have these concerns. On one hand, his body underwent an upgrade with Project 003, and on the other hand, the original host was significantly younger than Chester.
The average lifespan of interstellar humans was over two hundred years. The original host, now approaching forty, wouldn’t face mental power issues until after the age of forty-five. On the other hand, Chester, in his fifties, had to endure without a partner in the absence of a suitable Omega.
While Mu Jin peacefully slept, unaware of his lover’s pain, Chester opened his eyes, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and endured the headache, not wanting to disturb his peacefully sleeping lover.
It seemed he should find Bishop tomorrow to have medication prepared to suppress the outbreak.
Normally, at this time of the year, Chester would go to a desolate star where no one was present to isolate himself until he got through the period of mental power outbreaks.
However, because of Mu Jin, he wanted to be with him every moment, and he forgot about this crucial time of the year. It looked like he would have to come up with a reasonable excuse to tell Mu Jin that he needed to leave for a while and return only when his mental power had fully recovered.
So, the next day, after having breakfast together with Mu Jin, Chester told him that he needed to leave for a few days. He claimed that the space pirates needed him for a risky mission, and he would be back in a few days.
Mu Jin naturally expressed a desire to accompany him, but Chester refused, stating that he didn’t want Mu Jin to be in danger. Seeing his lover so determined, Chester, who always indulged Mu Jin, couldn’t help but nod reluctantly.
Seeing Mu Jin’s bright smile, Chester regretted it, feeling like he was trapped by his lover. He felt eaten alive, realizing that he couldn’t turn his life around.
Although he was scolded by Bishop afterward, everyone had to adapt to the situation. Considering the upcoming raid on supplies, their actions wouldn’t reveal any flaws.
Chester could only console himself, planning to find an opportunity to visit the desolate star midway through and then casually mention needing to leave for a few days, enduring until the ordeal passed.
