As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Lu jumped up from the foot of the bed, looking alert and letting out several indignant ‘yoo’s.

Xiao Zhenyun, barely managing to glance at it, said weakly, “What’s wrong? What’s so bad about letting your master deal with you for a moment?”

Tian Lu stamped its hooves in frustration and urgency, “Yoo!”

“Come here.” Xiao Zhenyun, panting, curled his lips into a smile. Despite feeling awful, he still found the energy to tease his spiritual body. “Just hold on until Si Di gets here and let me deal with this quickly.”

“Yoo!” Tian Lu jumped off the bed, looking like it wanted to escape but didn’t dare. It saw Xiao Zhenyun close his eyes and lie back on the chair, clearly in pain, which wasn’t fake. Hesitantly, it approached him, circling from about a meter away.

After a while, it seemed to be having an intense internal struggle but ultimately chose to endure the humiliation. It turned its back to Xiao Zhenyun, lifting its fluffy, round rump with its small deer tail trembling, ready to sacrifice itself.

Xiao Zhenyun raised a hand and gave it a light smack, “Move it further away.”

“Yoo!!!” Tian Lu was genuinely angry now.

Si Di couldn’t guarantee this sort of thing was unheard of among special individuals, but it was certainly rare. He exchanged a serious look with Si Chu and quietly asked, “Should I send Tai Ji back first?”

“…” Xiao Zhenyun chuckled helplessly, “Is there a difference between Tai Ji and Tian Lu?”

“There is, if you must choose one, I hope you…”

“I can’t do something so cruel. Stop wasting time and get back here.” Xiao Zhenyun hung up the call.

Si Di didn’t waste any more time. He immediately sent a message to Hedgehog, telling him to act immediately without worrying about anything else, adding a note: Look at the mess you’ve caused.

Hedgehog: No need to thank me.

“Brother…” Si Chu wiped away tears, “Why aren’t you leaving yet?”

“I’ll walk you back to your room before I go.”

“No need, I’ll have Feiran accompany me. You go be with your sweetheart.”

“Stop being such a crybaby. Xiao Fei will laugh at you if he sees you like this. Let your big brother keep you company…”

Hedgehog might mess up other tasks, but when it came to serious crimes, he never made mistakes.

Si Di argued with Si Chu for another five minutes. Then a message came from Hedgehog: I’m in the elevator, heading to the room. Let your brother come. But didn’t you say this little chick is very sensitive and will struggle to escape? You even told me to pretend not to notice the marks he leaves along the way, but I didn’t see him move at all from start to finish. If he doesn’t move soon, I’ll go into the room. Once the door closes, no one will know he’s here.

Because Jefferson is a perverted creep who acts on impulse, while you’re a professional mercenary. What chance does Ye Feiran stand against you?

Si Di: Then help him leave some marks at the door and near the elevator.

Hedgehog: Should I throw his clothes at the door?… Won’t the cleaners sweep them away?

Si Di: Intentionally take a walk around downstairs for surveillance.

Hedgehog: …This is just ridiculous.

Si Di: No choice, the kid has poor surveillance awareness, so take care of it.

Hedgehog: How about I buy a box of peaches at the front desk? That should be obvious enough.

Si Di: Buy two boxes, and give me one later.

Hedgehog: Will one box be enough?

Si Di: How much did you dose him with? Zhenyun is still sick.

Hedgehog: Not much, really… he wouldn’t drink an entire cup of tea, would he?

Si Di: …

He had a bad feeling. Suddenly, he turned to Si Chu and said, “Alright, let Xiao Fei come keep you company. I’ll go first.”

This time, Si Di didn’t even look back. Without waiting for Si Chu’s reaction, he rushed out, his steps hurried. He picked up the box Hedgehog had left by the door and, while entering the password to open the door, he started undoing his belt.

The door opened and closed, and Si Di’s pants fell to the floor along with it.

He looked up to see Xiao Zhenyun glaring at him fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow him whole. Si Di reached into his suitcase, quickly grabbing what he needed, and started preparing himself. In the corner of his eye, he noticed a cup of tea on the table, completely clean.

“…”

Si Di gritted his teeth and went over.

One box of peaches turned out to be enough because Xiao Zhenyun was not lenient at all. He was so vigorous he could have cracked screws with his bare hands, and even being slammed by the door, he could turn around and break the door instead , giving Si Di a mix of pain and pleasure. After tossing and turning for an hour and a half, Xiao Zhenyun finally climaxed for the first time. Both Si Di and Xiao Zhenyun couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, nothing was damaged.

During the mid-session break to change positions, Si Di carried Xiao Zhenyun from the lounge chair to the bed. They took a moment to drink some water and reattach prosthetics. Ten minutes later, the spirited flames of passion uncontrollably flared up again.

The second round was much gentler. Xiao Zhenyun took the lead, moving slowly. They even connected their spiritual links, playing with sensory control tricks.

But after just twenty minutes, Hedgehog’s call came in. First, he called Si Di, who didn’t answer. Then he called Xiao Zhenyun, who also didn’t pick up, so he kept calling. The persistent vibration finally made Xiao Zhenyun answer, his voice breathless and intermittent, “Hedgehog… you’re really something.” 

He didn’t bother hiding his intermittent breaths; everything was thanks to the other party anyway. 

“I know, I wouldn’t bother you unless it was necessary. But…” The background noise on Hedgehog’s end wasn’t very healthy, and he sounded distressed. “Ask Black Wolf where his brother is.”

“Where’s Xiao Chu?” Xiao Zhenyun asked, lowering his head.

Si Di, kissing his throat, opened his watery blue eyes. “Huh? What do you mean… Xiao Chu hasn’t… hasn’t found Xiao Fei yet?”

“Yes… Oh, did I reveal something? Your plan.”

“It’s okay.” Si Di and Xiao Zhenyun exchanged a kiss. “He knows.”

Hedgehog glanced back at the poor guide tossing and turning on the bed. “Alright, it’s been a while. If your brother doesn’t show up soon, I won’t be able to clock out. And his guide here is about to lose it too.”

“…” Xiao Zhenyun, who had experienced this feeling firsthand, felt the pain acutely. “Should we call your brother?”

Like this? Si Di deliberately paused for a moment.

Xiao Zhenyun frowned, “Fine, relax. I’ll go out.”

Hedgehog heard the sound of clothing and bedding rustling from the other end. Soon, Si Di seemed to have connected with Si Chu via voice call. Ten seconds later, the hoarse and blurry voice of the little dog came through, “Hmm? Brother, what’s up?”

“…Are you sleeping?”

“Yeah, why?”

Si Di sat up halfway, surprised. “You didn’t go find Feiran?”

“Nope,” Si Chu’s voice lowered, “Like you said, Xiao Fei always mocks me when he sees me crying. So I didn’t look for him, just came back to the room to sleep.”

“…”

If this were the original plot, Jefferson would have already finished playing with Feiran and lit a cigarette.

“I can’t reach Xiao Fei on the phone,” Si Di guided the conversation helplessly, “Do you know where he is?”

“Oh, he told me he was going to the ancient street before he left. Maybe he didn’t hear you.”

“It’s already dark out, and he’s still not back?”

“The ancient street has a light show. He mentioned wanting to see it last night.”

“…Why don’t you go watch it with him?”

“Ah… forget it, I’m not in the mood.” Si Chu crawled back under the covers. “Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to sleep…”

“Hello?” Si Di and Xiao Zhenyun exchanged glances. “…He hung up on me.”

Xiao Zhenyun, Hedgehog: “…”

“Hedgehog, I’m leaving this to you.” Xiao Zhenyun placed the items back inside. “Use whatever means necessary to make that little dog and his guide roll together immediately. Then do whatever you want, but I don’t want to see you again until tomorrow. I won’t hold it against you for drugging me.”

“Why so harsh?” Hedgehog narrowed his eyes. “I don’t respond well to threats. I’ve always hated…”

“Otherwise, you can go to Clubbing alone.”

“…”

Xiao Zhenyun also ended the call, pushing back his sweaty bangs to reveal a clean forehead. He looked down at Si Di from his elevated position. “Tired? Come here.”

Si Di and he exchanged positions. “Honestly, I think I’ve lost feeling in my legs already.”

“An S-Class Sentinel with such low stamina?”

“Want to try being continuously rolled by a big fire roller for two hours?”

“…”

As for the methods Hedgehog ultimately employed, Xiao Zhenyun only learned about them from Xiao Nian the next day. Hedgehog directly found the room where Si Chu was, broke in, knocked out the Sentinel, carried him to Feiran’s room, threw him in, locked the door, and left.

Simple and crude, but effective.

The World Administrator didn’t know how to describe such behavior, but at least there were no further issues afterwards.

“It doesn’t matter.” Xiao Nian waved his hand. “At least we’ve achieved a 70% completion rate.”

“Can there really be 70%?” Xiao Zhenyun sipped on his milky lamb soup, and Xiao Nian nodded. “60% is their part, and the remaining 10% is what you two saved of the plot.”

Si Di was also drinking the lamb soup, enjoying some roasted lamb loin. He commented, “Then why bother with all the hassle? Why not just drug them and lock them together, and be done with it?”

“Do you think there’s much difference between what you actually did and what you just said?” Xiao Nian asked angrily.

“…”

“Well, just don’t bring it up again afterwards.” Xiao Nian sighed. “What are you planning to do next?”

Xiao Zhenyun had nothing to hide from Xiao Nian, so he explained Hedgehog’s mission and then asked, “Is it related to the main storyline?”

“It shouldn’t be,” Xiao Nian said. “If you need any help, you can come to me… But it sounds like a pretty simple task, nothing much to help with… Is the Dark Sentinel so idle that he’s taking on these small tasks?”

“Hedgehog said he took on this mission partly to involve me and help me adapt to team’s work, and he hardly received any reward.” Xiao Zhenyun put down his spoon. “Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, I feel like after leaving his old team, he intends to join the Storm Squad, so he’s using this opportunity to extend an olive branch to me… A kind of letter of recommendation for Si Di?”

“…” Xiao Nian chuckled softly. “Are you already thinking about what you’ll do after the novel ends? Joining the Storm Squad?”

“Shouldn’t I?”

Suddenly, Si Di interjected, “Xiao Nian, can you control whether your body awakens or not? If you awaken as a special individual, you’re welcome to join the Storm Squad after you graduate. It just so happens that I’ll be stepping down as captain when you graduate, so you can take over.”

“…You guys are thinking really far ahead,” Xiao Nian refused decisively. “But forgive me, I have no interest in being a captain.”

“What do you plan to do after the storyline ends?” Xiao Zhenyun asked.

“I’ll decide when the time comes. Hang up, I have winter vacation homework to do.”

The reluctant little student went to do his homework, while at the same time, another sneaky Dark Sentinel popped up from the balcony. “The dog leash has arrived. Want to give it a try?”
