Relief, humanization, slave rescue.

Chi Xiaochi folds her long legs casually, leans back against her boss, and braces one arm against the Panther's back spine.

"Introducing the new team member." Chi Xiaochi said absently, "Gu Xinzhi."

The team looked at each other, a little confused about what attitude to take towards Gu Xinzhi.

Saying that Team Ding likes this Gu, no one has ever seen Ding Qiuyun treat anyone else with such a frosty demeanor.

Saying that Team Ding hates him, everyone knows that the man has been living in the Ding family since he came to town.

For the men and women who admire Ding Qiuyun, this week they have done nothing but scratch their heads wondering if they are sleeping in the same bed.

Gu Xinzhi, never minding the stares, looked at Chi Xiaochi: "A gun?"

The sniper rifle he used for two years was left at Sun Yan's house and is probably in the public treasury by now.

Chi Xiaochi grabbed a crowbar from the corner of the truck and threw it at him.

Gu Xinzhi accepted it well, took it in his hand, hefted the iron rod and pulled a flower in a flowing manner, and used it smoothly: "Sandpaper."

Someone fished sandpaper out of his backpack and handed it to him, attaching a cigarette.

Gu Xinzhi did not thank him, but took the cigarette and held it in his mouth, and when he reached for the sandpaper, Chi Xiaochi stretched out his long legs and stepped on the edge of the sandpaper.

Propping his head on one hand, he spoke, "Say 'thank you'."

Gu Xinzhi was a bit confused, "...... This is what he himself wanted to give me."

He doesn't know how to get along with people, has trouble empathizing with them, and has little knowledge of worldly manners.

His alcoholic mother and stepfather had taught him nothing but one thing: if you like something, you fight for it, no matter what the cost.

Gu Xinzhi doesn't like wine, he likes Ding Qiuyun.

After getting to know Ding Qiuyun, his eyes only looked at Ding Qiuyun alone, and he could not tolerate anything else.

Others took his aloofness for granted; after all, it was not uncommon for those with more ability to be over-eager, as even Ding Qiuyun had once thought.

But Chi Xiaochi doesn't think so.

He tapped his toe twice on the sandpaper.

As his eyes met, Gu Xinzhi seemed to understand something, taking the tip of his tongue and pushing the filter he held in his mouth to the side, he gave a slight nod to the person who had lent him the item, "Thanks ...... Thanks."

Chi Xiaochi, now put your feet up.

The man rubbed the back of his head and smiled nervously at him.

But Gu Xinzhi didn't even look at his smile, and looked down as he began to sand his new weapon with sandpaper, layers of rusty red peeling off in a rustling friction.

Chi Xiaochi ignored him and took his fingers and gently scratched the panther's nape.

His Coal Boss, however, looked like he was being teased a little, making a slight gurgling sound in his throat and rubbing his ears repeatedly against Chi Xiaochi's thighs.

Yan Lanlan's attention was drawn to the Panther's slightly unusual behavior, "Team Ding, what's wrong with the boss?"

Chi Xiaochi didn't think anything of it, "What's wrong with what?"

Yan Lanlan : "Has he been a little too clingy lately."

Chi Xiaochi rubbed his ears, "I fed him one bite at a time, isn't it ungrateful if he doesn't stick to me?"

Another member of the team picked up, "No, Ting team, I look at the boss indeed not quite right, a little like ......"

He glanced at Yan Lanlan in an attempt to speak.

At this reminder, Chi Xiaochi turned her attention to her boss, who was gently rubbing at her waist and crotch, and finally realized something.

The boss is clingy, mostly in private with him, often holding their own suck two, or jump on the bed and rolled into a ball with him, but in front of people it has always been reserved, sitting and lying up and down all have the grace to be very ......

Yan Lanlan hit the nail on the head: "In heat."

Chi Xiaochi and 061 were both stunned.

This week, 061's body is indeed a bit strange, body burning tight, hidden itchy belly, rubbing against Xiaochi's spiritual body to cool and comfortable, from this morning the symptoms are more obvious, burning and itching belly, thanks to his sanity, still can endure.

Chi Xiaochi got worried and got down on the panther to study its reproductive structure.

He asked, "What about this."

Since Yan Lanlan didn't mind, the group simply put the issue out in the open and discussed it, "Let's find a place to camp tonight, and have the boss go out and find a female leopard."

Yan Lanlan said, "You think female leopards are everywhere, you'd be lucky to find a male."

Sun Yan's voice came from the cab, "It would be nice to find an iguana."

Yan Lanlan, protecting his calf, said, "No, our boss can't sun dogs, it's cheaper for them."

061 listened to the active discussion of his mating with mixed emotions.

He wanted to hear what Chi Xiaochi had to offer. After all, Chi Xiaochi had a quick mind, and Ding Qiuyun was a veterinarian himself, so he might be able to find some kind of medicine. ......

Chi Xiaochi pondered for a moment and asserted, "Why don't you just castrate him?"

061: "........................ "

Chi Xiaochi is also very reasonable: "I remember that when a leopard matures, it goes into heat at least twice a year. It's too anti-human to always let the boss put up with it."

Sun Yan laughed and said, "Cut to the eternal rule."

The whole car laughed.

061: "......" can't laugh at all, and has a slight urge to leave the team and run away.

The panther opened its mouth and bit the hem of Chi Xiaochi's sweater, flinging it around twice in displeasure.

Chi Xiaochi, however, got the wrong idea and soothed it twice, saying softly, "I'm just teasing you, don't be angry."

But 061 soon heard Chi Xiaochi mentally asking him, "Mr. Six, Mr. Six, what dose of anesthetic would make castration less painful for the boss?"

061: "......" Meh, humans.

Not wanting to hand-hold Xiaochi and instruct him on how to castrate himself, 061 said, "Let's find a place to camp today and see if he can find a mate. After all, the world can't keep up with medical care these days, in case it gets infected."

Chi Xiaochi thought about it and thought it made sense, so he temporarily put down the idea of artificially ligating his family's coal boss.

Along the way, the group realized that their worries were all for naught.

They don't even have to think about how to treat Gu Xinzhi, who never participates in their conversations and sits there quietly, like a natural decoration in the car, with a presence no stronger than the iron bar in his hand, and who sometimes forgets that there's even a human being sitting in the car.

In the middle of the night, the party came to rest in a desolate wilderness.

The moist sound of roasting rabbit meat came from the direction of the campfire.

Sitting among the tents, Chi Xiaochi strapped a remote positioning device to his boss's right front paw, while assiduously giving his boss a physiological education: "Boss, it's okay if you can't find a date... see, there's a tree... and that thing on the tree is called a tree hole..."' ..."'

061 says it's a bit spicy to the ears, not really wanting to hear it, and turns to head out the door.

Chi Xiaochi chased after her with an earnest, "Don't forget the way back."

The figure of the coal owner soon blended in with the night.

Chi Xiaochi stood in the cold wind and told 061, "I feel like an old father."

061 kind of sadly thought, I don't have a dad like you who wants to castrate his son.

Chi Xiaochi returned to the campfire.

His loving fatherly behavior of just now reluctantly sending him all the way was met with unanimous ridicule from his teammates.

Sun Yan laughed, "Team Ding, you're kind of clinical."

Sun Bin : "...... Brother, do you have any culture. That's a gun."

Sun Yan knocked his head, "You're the one who's uneducated. The gun grinds the Buddha's foot."

Sun Bin shut his mouth in aggravation as he was knocked with an ouch.

Amidst all the laughter, Chi Xiaochi adds wood to the fire, thinking sadly about not being seduced by the pretty female leopard and not coming home.

Gu Xinzhi sat at a distance, cradling the iron pipe that he had polished to a sharp, glowing shine at both ends, and gazed with fascination at Ding Qiuyun sitting in the middle of the crowd, sour and jealous.

But the shadowy hint of malice in his mind was quickly beaten out of him.

From that repetitive dream, he had at least one simple basic piece of knowledge: that Ding Qiuyun cared about these people.

If he had any thoughts of hurting them, there was no longer any possibility of him being with Ding Qiuyun.

He closed his eyes and simply begged for an out of sight, out of mind.

But the distant sound of boisterous people stung him to the very tip of his heart, and goosebumps rose up his back in a puff of goosebumps.

Gu Xinzhi rolled over and thought: ...... mine. All of this turns out to be supposed to be mine alone.

He reached out, scratching down five long finger marks in the cold, wet dirt, breathing in deeply and exhaling deeply, trying his best to quell the black wave of frenzy in his heart.

But he still shivered with hate.

On the eve of his outburst, he rolled over, rolled up his sleeve, and, aiming at the moonlight, slowly sliced a deep bloody scar down the inside of his little arm with a steel pipe.

The numbing pain and cutting sensation finally calmed his boiling heart slightly.

He couldn't be disgusted by Qiuyun anymore, couldn't see Qiuyun's dead eyes again, absolutely not.

At midnight, not far from the campsite of the members of the squad, a finch was startled from a dead tree.

A panther paced its feet somewhat anxiously, flattening the grass around it before coming to the edge of the tree, its form covered in a quality pelt as black as a jewel gradually changing.

A young man in white and black pants appeared by a dead tree in the wilderness, propping himself up on one elbow and panting slightly.

...... The instincts of animals that have lasted for thousands of years kicked in and it was just too much.

It was easy to wait until it was dark, and he was already on the verge of going crazy from the tingling that filled his belly. Without waiting for the gray-blue color to fade from his eyes, 061 couldn't hold back and pressed his hand to the belt around his waist.

He was a man of great moderation and neatness, and even when he was in the guise of a beast, he did his best to keep himself reserved and elegant, and even when he broke his leg last time, he kept his composure to the greatest extent possible in front of his best friend.

This time, however, wave after wave of impact left him a little overwhelmed.

Rolling hot streams of air exhaled from his mouth and nose, the rhythm of which had been completely disorganized.

His always well-kept hair was in complete disarray, the strands on his forehead picking at a drop of sweat like dew dangling from a blade of grass, swaying a few times with his movements before snapping to the ground with a crash and falling to pieces.

061 teeth biting sour, finally could not bear it, low "hmm", tentative soft call: "Xiaochi ......"

As soon as that call was made, 061 let out a sharp breath and bent over with increasing difficulty as a fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Xiaochi ...... Xiaochi."

He kept his voice unusually low, gentle and cautious as a whisper, and his arm braced against the tree trembled with excitement.

"...... Xiaochi."

A long time had passed, and 061 Fang Cai drew in a soft breath of cold air, leaning back against the tree with his shoulders slumped, his shirt wet with hot sweat and clinging to his skin, the beautiful muscles of his waist and stomach opening and closing and undulating in a rather pleasing way.

He buried his face between his arms, helplessly containing a smile, shaking his head slightly and muttering to himself, "Chi Xiaochi, you."

...... You're so smart, when exactly will you see that I'm the one you're looking for.

After they set up camp, they took turns keeping watch, and Chi Xiaochi kept watch for the second half of the night, from 1:00 to 3:00, looking off into the distance from time to time to figure out when his boss would be coming home.

As he looked down and fiddled with the campfire, the young man in the white shirt and black pants approached from behind step by step.

His feet landed on the ground so softly and noiselessly that he didn't even attract Chi Xiaochi's attention.

It wasn't until a pair of paws embraced her shoulders from behind and her neck was rubbed by soft and sufficiently warm neck fur that Chi Xiaochi rejoiced, rolling over and wrapping her arms around the panther's lean waist, holding down the back of his head with one hand, and planting a kiss on the side of his head.

Chi Xiaochi said, "Worry me to death."

The panther licked his ears and the back of his neck tenderly, each stroke giving him the illusion of being grazed, of being blown by the wind, of a gust of corn, of a palpitating attachment that called to Chi Xiaochi who could not help but follow with a shudder of warring, of joy and excitement.

The two were intimate for a while before Chi Xiaochi got down to business: "You found the female leopard, didn't you?"

Coalman: "Ow."

Chi Xiaochi touched its belly and felt that the heat had gone down a bit, and there were no more of those pampering and dawdling movements, so her heart felt a bit more at ease: "Why don't you bring it back here for me to take a look at it?"

Coal Boss squatted in front of Chi Xiaochi and tenderly kissed Chi Xiaochi's abdomen.

Chi Xiaochi was ruffled by it, and his back was baked by the heat to make his skin tight, pushing its head, "Don't make a fuss don't make a fuss. ...... Hey, then according to this calculation, are you running away after one shot, irresponsible to the other woman."

The boss cocked his head and stared at him.

Chi Xiaochi continued to tease him, "Am I right? Or you didn't find a date and settled for a tree."

061: "............"

Chi Xiaochi's nonsense and crookedness was so aggravating that the coal boss simply closed his legs together and clenched his waist.

Chi Xiaochi, caught off guard, fell backward, onto his back by the fire, messing up two sticks of firewood, with fiery red flecks splashing out and landing on the side of his face, and the hem of his shirt being scuffed and rolled upward, revealing a line, if any, of his waist.

Chi Xiaochi was not yet aware of the danger, and with a laugh, turned on his side and tried to climb up.

The boss was no longer ambivalent, and gave a precise lick toward the exposed waist socket.

Chi Xiaochi's waist was considered the most sensitive area of his body, but he never knew that Ding Qiuyun's waist also had such a weak point, this unexpected lick made his scalp numb, hissed cold air, his waist directly went soft, and slumped back to the ground sideways, and his feet unconsciously stomped for several times, flipping up two clear traces of dirt.

When she reacted, Chi Xiaochi realized with a mixture of anger and amusement that she was actually aroused by this.

He rolled up slightly uncomfortably, pressing down on the bottom of his belly with one hand, and coaxing Coalman softly, "Good boy, no more fuss, no more fuss, let me up."

The coal owner was still pressed against him, his gray-blue eyes looking like two dipped jewels in the firelight.

Chi Xiaochi simply let go of the hand covering her stomach and hooked her arm around the coal boss's neck, half complaining, half ordering, "If you're not having a good time, you won't let me have a good time either, right? Get up get up, I'm having a hard time."

It was then that the Coal Boss sensed the change in Chi Xiaochi's body, and after a slight start, he loosened his grip on Chi Xiaochi and paced slowly to the side, crouching down on his stomach, still eyeing him sideways.

Chi Xiaochi rolled over and sat up, accusing, "Mr. Six, it bullied me."

061 didn't change his face and said, "Well, that's just badass."

Chi Xiaochi sits down facing the campfire, but doesn't look like he has any intention of doing anything about it.

061 was slightly surprised, "You ...... don't go and fix it."

Chi Xiaochi picked a more comfortable position to sit in, exhaled, and said, "It's someone else's body, just bear with it."

061's original intention was to slightly punish Chi Xiaochi, did not want to make him so uncomfortable, which in turn caused him a heartache.

He let the panther stand up, circled around the campfire, and returned to Chi Xiaochi's hand, a sort of proactive show of weakness, announcing the end of the little tiff that had just taken place.

Chi Xiaochi reached out and wrapped her arms around her waist, resting her face against the side of her belly, quietly listening to her heartbeat.

061 naturally liked Chi Xiaochi who relied on him like this in this way, but he was overly concerned about his boss, and 061 could not help but be worried as he watched.

He volunteered to Chi Xiaochi, "Xiaochi, when the mission is complete, I can datamaterialize the boss and bring with us."

To his surprise, Chi Xiaochi closed his eyes and said, "No need."

061: "...... But even if you leave it with Ding Qiuyun, it won't necessarily recognize Ding Qiuyun."

"Then it is also of this world." Chi Xiaochi said, "It's not mine."

From a very early age, Lou Ying taught Chi Xiaochi one thing with his life, that nothing in this world belongs to him in particular.

People die, animals die, he himself dies.

All he could do was remember what was most important to him before he died and keep their lives alive in his own memory.

Waiting for the fire in his body to naturally subside, Chi Xiaochi then opened his eyes, looked up at the silver light of the stars in the sky, smiled lightly, and actually thought of the star that 061 had given to himself in a world not long ago.

He thought that until he died, he might remember this precious gift that had once been his.

061 The last thing you can stand to see is this horrible sobriety of Chi Xiaochi.

061 It's tempting to say that the boss belongs to you from start to finish, just like me.

However, he could not say anything but stay quietly by Chi Xiaochi's side and be a warm, reassuring pillow.

In the middle of Chi Xiaochi's reverie, 061 silently removed a copy of Naman Metal from the warehouse.

It was from the stars he had plucked for Chi Xiaochi, and he gave most of them to Chi Xiaochi, leaving some for himself, hidden quietly in a corner of the warehouse.

He manipulated the data to make the metal morph into a variety of forms and molds.

A little flower, a star, a little milk panther sculpture ......

Soon it was time to change shifts, and a yawning Sun Yan got up and exchanged shifts with Chi Xiaochi.

Chi Xiaochi lay back in the tent.

The bumps of the day, the weariness of the vigil, including the little accident just now, were a drain on Chi Xiaochi's energy. He had just gotten into his sleeping bag and before he could pull it closed, he curled up and passed out.

Shortly after he lost consciousness, the black panther who had slept in the tent with him stood up and reappeared as the young man in the white shirt and black pants.

He watched Chi Xiaochi's sleeping face in silence for a long moment, and reached into his pocket, pulling out the bit of pale silver-colored Naman metal.

He gently took Chi Xiaochi's wrist and pulled his arm out of the sleeping bag, fitting the mass of Naaman metal floating between his fingers to the ring finger of his right hand.

Upon touching the skin of the ring finger, the Naman metal automatically gathered and molded itself into the shape of a ring.

Rings made of Naaman metal are more than a hundred times harder than diamonds.

And the ring was worn on his spiritual body, since it was not visible at all outside.

He cherished Chi Xiaochi's hand and kissed it gently.

Don't worry, there are some people that will always be yours.

At dawn, the group rose, stamped out the campfire, and headed for a town not far away.

This time they were out, not exactly searching for supplies.

Among the new batch of Old Humans they had rescued, some said that there was an Old Human Slave Quarter about six hundred kilometers from here.

The new human beings, who are self-assured that they have the ability to surpass the ordinary people, should naturally enjoy the privilege of surpassing the ordinary people as well.

So, they set up a staging area where they sent old humans that they had seized from all over the world and couldn't use themselves, to be sold and circulated in exchange for living goods or for more agreeable slaves.

Chi Xiaochi They made this trip for these slaves.
