Chapter 162 Part 1

Extra: Ayer x Tang Part 5.1

Since Ayer gained control over his two forms, transitioning stably between human and Dragon Blood Kin, his range of activities within the base expanded significantly. There were no longer as many people pointing guns at him and trailing behind him, guarding against potential threats. He felt much more at ease. Upon careful exploration, he realized that despite the absence of sunlight and the fragrance of flowers in the base, there were still plenty of things to occupy his time. At the very least, he could engage in activities that were inaccessible on the surface, such as simulated space battles, high-speed racing, and simulated space shooting—games that men particularly enjoyed. Although these games were considered highly dangerous in the eyes of ordinary people, they were designed for Dragon Blood Kins. Even if they ended up crashing and nearly dying, they would bounce back to life after lying in bed for a month.

In the base, there are currently over thirty Dragon Blood Kins who can maintain a stable state. They possessed an exceptional amount of energy, as if their bodies were constantly filled with inexhaustible strength. However, they had no outlet for their energy. They were unable to venture outside freely and lacked enemies to unleash their ferocity. They weren’t even allowed to engage in sexual activities with their partners. Some Dragon Blood Kins hadn’t seen their spouses or girlfriends in two years. Instead, they resorted to playing various high-risk games and engaging in combat experiments within the base. It became their most effective way to release their physical abilities.

After the battle in Madagascar, Shen Changze was taken away by Shen Yao, and Shan Ming’s emotions plummeted like never before. Ayer had known him for over twenty years, and it was the first time he had seen Shan Ming in such a state. Whenever they weren’t training, Ayer would always drag Shan Ming along to play, hoping to alleviate his depression. However, one time he took Shan Ming to participate in those intensified games designed for the Dragon Blood Kins, Shan Ming played even more fiercely and recklessly than them, which frightened Ayer to the core. After all, Shan Ming was just a regular human, and some injuries could not be recovered. It would be troublesome if something were to happen. As a result, Ayer no longer dared to let Shan Ming participate in those games.

Shan Ming was constantly plagued by thoughts about the whereabouts of Shen Yao and Shen Changze, and he would almost ask Tang Tingzhi about it every time he saw him. Seeing Shan Ming’s increasingly solemn expression day by day, Ayer also grew anxious.

One day, after training, Ayer followed Tang Tingzhi cautiously, waiting until everyone else had left. Tang Tingzhi glanced back at him and asked, “Is there something you need?”

“I want to ask you if there’s any news about Shen Changze. Shan Ming’s getting more and more anxious every day. Why is it taking so long this time?”

Tang Tingzhi replied, “Shen Yao is hiding very well this time. In the previous battle, he lost a lot of Dragon Blood Kins. Now he needs to regroup and gather strength, so naturally, he will do everything possible to conceal himself and prevent us from finding him. He used to be one of the nation’s finest special forces, familiar with all our operational patterns. He also has great counterintelligence capabilities. One of our operatives fell into a trap he set last month, so we’re even more cautious now.”

Ayer leaned in and returned the kiss, then chuckled as he looked at Tang Tingzhi’s earnest expression of curiosity. “Why are you so obedient? You’re doing whatever I tell you to,” he said.

“It just so happens that your requests are within my capabilities, and maintaining your pleasant mood is also a crucial aspect of our training.”

Ayer’s blue eyes dimmed instantly, and he clenched his teeth, discontentedly saying, “Are you saying that everything you’ve done for me is only because I’m a Dragon Blood Kin?”

After carefully analyzing the question in his mind, Tang Tingzhi gave the most accurate answer he could think of, “The work I’ve been doing is indeed centered around Dragon Blood Kins. When you say ‘everything,’ could you be more specific?”

Ayer’s face turned cloudly from anger, “You let me kiss you, sleep with you, cook for me, and even promised to marry me.”

Tang Tingzhi’s dark eyes were clear and sincere as he responded, “Those things aren’t part of my job. If you are referring to those, it has nothing to do with you being a Dragon Blood Kin; it’s because you are Ayer.”

Ayer’s pupils contracted intensely. He held Tang Tingzhi tightly by the waist, finding it hard to believe that Tang Tingzhi could say such heartwarming words, “Say that again.”

Tang Tingzhi was somewhat surprised but dutifully repeated word for word, “Those things aren’t part of my job. If you are referring to…”

Ayer roughly interrupted him, “Idiot, just the last sentence is enough.”

Tang Tingzhi blinked his eyes and said, “Because you are Ayer?”

Ayer kissed him deeply and felt elated. Despite Tang Tingzhi’s lack of eloquence and the unconventional way he expressed himself, Ayer could still sense his kindness and fondness towards him. He really wanted to ask Tang Tingzhi if he liked him, but he was worried that Tang Tingzhi probably had no idea what it meant to like someone.

However, Ayer wasn’t in a rush to find out. The warm interactions between them filled his heart to the brim. Due to his status as a Dragon Blood Kin, he knew that they couldn’t progress too quickly. With sexual intimacy temporarily set aside from their relationship, Ayer felt that he could appreciate the small moments of tenderness between them even more. Perhaps it was the series of dramatic changes that had occurred during this time that had greatly transformed his mindset. Despite his age, he felt like an adolescent experiencing the blossoming of emotions. A single kiss, a warm embrace—these moments lingered in his thoughts. He thought to himself that he was truly in love this time, and the feeling was too marvelous to imagine.
