God
"What... what do you want to do?"
Gwen's face flushed instantly. She shrank back slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of shyness and timidity, yet deep down she was also secretly anticipating something.
"Nothing, but Gwen, you smell a bit sweaty."
Kino sniffed. "Didn't you use any toner powder?"
Gwen's face turned even redder, but this time it was from anger.
"If you smell bad, don't hug me."
Before she could finish speaking, her little fist lightly smacked Kino's stomach with a "bang," then she turned around angrily and left the room.
Kino chuckled and shook his head, looking at the ceiling.
The next time we meet, he'll be suffering from amnesia.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Gwen hadn't returned, Kino was just about to call Venom out so he could get a good night's sleep.
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Gwen had finished showering and was wearing white pajamas. She looked at Kino, who was still lying on the bed in the same position, and kicked his leg.
"Go inside, don't take my spot."
Kino shifted her position, looking curiously at Gwen lying next to her.
During this time, their relationship progressed rapidly, but the only time they slept together was shortly after they arrived and were discovered.
"What are you looking at? Go to sleep."
Gwen felt a little shy under his gaze and covered his eyes with her hands.
"I can't sleep; I have a sleeping habit."
"Kino said."
What habits?
Gwen asked curiously.
"I need to hug something when I sleep, preferably something soft, otherwise I can't fall asleep."
"So how did you fall asleep before?"
Gwen was somewhat skeptical.
"It's a habit I only developed after a shipwreck, Gwen. Can I hug you?"
Kino, poor Gwen.
Gwen opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refuse, but their relationship had become so close lately that they were practically just short of a formal confession, and she ultimately couldn't bear to.
After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "You can only hold me."
After saying that, she slowly leaned into Kino's arms.
In the end, Gwen relented and nestled in Kino's arms.
Kino tightened his arms slightly, pulling Gwen into his embrace.
She carried the fresh scent of a post-shower bath, mixed with a faint lemony smell from her shampoo.
"It smells so good."
"Hmph, you just said I smelled bad."
Gwen hum, placing her hand on his waist. Through the thin pajamas, they could feel each other's warm body temperature.
"Don't move your hands, or I'll beat you up."
"You also put your hand on my abs."
"I didn't mean to."
"Me too."
Moonlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting a silvery edge on the intertwined shadows of the two figures.
"Kino?"
Gwen suddenly looked up, her nose almost brushing against his chin. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Her eyes were as clear as a lake, reflecting his face.
Kino's heart skipped a beat. After a moment's hesitation, he finally lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. "Sleep well, there's a lot to do tomorrow."
Gwen snorted in dissatisfaction, but didn't press the matter further. She snuggled closer to him, her breathing gradually becoming steady.
The next day.
Dio and Hancock arrived to greet Kino with gifts.
Gwen was reluctant to say goodbye to Kino. Watching the car drive away, Gwen felt that it would be a long time before they would meet again.
On the vehicle.
Dio and Hancock disappear, reverting to Venom's original form.
Frank, who was driving in front, narrowed his eyes, but remained calm and continued driving.
"Frank, you go... wait for me on the main street, I need to take care of something."
After saying that, Kino disappeared.
Frank also changed direction and headed towards the place Kino had suggested.
The Life Foundation's experimental base.
Dr. Drake watched the Symbiote moving in the four containers. With them, he would create a new species, a new life.
"Doctor, the experimental team is ready and can begin the experiment at any time."
"One of the subordinates said."
"Take good care of them first, and conduct experiments when they are in peak physical condition. Leave these Symbiote here and have someone keep a close watch on them."
Drake said.
Soon the laboratory was empty. The security personnel did one last check, closed the door, and completely ignored Kino in the center of the Symbiote.
Kino approached the black Symbiote, looked at its listless appearance, and smiled slightly.
"Hello, Venom."
[It can't see you.]
Venom also emerged, and seeing another version of myself felt somewhat novel.
Kino looked at the other three Symbiote, who were still patting the container, trying to get out.
He raised his hand and extracted their life force, injecting it into the black Symbiote in front of him. The previously weak black Symbiote instantly became full of vitality and began to struggle to break out of its shell.
"Don't rush, it'll be a few more days."
Kino smiled slightly, then disappeared again.
Desert.
The robbers' hideout.
Today is an unfortunate day.
Yinsen has a fever; it's hot, and the environment is dirty and messy.
As he was nearing unconsciousness, he saw a glowing figure hand him something.
"Take this, and someone will come to collect it. After he takes it, your village and family will all be resurrected."
Upon hearing this, Yinsen's spirits lifted, and he gripped the object offered to him with all his might before losing consciousness.
When he woke up again, he felt incredibly relaxed, as if he had suddenly regained the vitality of his youth.
Tony, standing to the side, was staring at him with a look of shock that was almost dazed.
"My God, are you even human? You only slept for ten minutes, and your high fever is completely gone!"
Tony said incredulously, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Tony, I think I saw God."
A trace of disorientation lingered in Yinsen's eyes.
"God, could you ask your God to give me a cheeseburger? I really want one."
Tony said jokingly.
I picked up my tools again and started soldering; all that was left was the final assembly.
Yinsen shook his head, thinking he might have been hallucinating.
He got out of bed, ready to help Tony with the work, when he suddenly felt something dig into his pocket.
He reached in and took it out; it was a Crystal. The Crystal had a warm luster and a dazzling light, clearly a priceless treasure.
Yinsen paused, glanced at Tony's busy figure, and carefully put it away.
He was rescued a few days later.
He turned down Tony's high-paying job and compensation.
"Why, Yinsen, is this what you deserve?"
Tony asked, puzzled.
"I can't accept it; God is watching me."
With a sincere smile and dressed in simple clothes, Yinsen prepared to return to his hometown.
"Okay, Yinsen, as a friend, you have to take this."
Tony handed him a cell phone.
Ever since Yinsen woke up from that coma, he's been acting strangely, even praying before meals. It's highly likely that his brain nerves were damaged by the fever.
Yinsen offered no explanation, took the phone, gave Tony a blessing, and left.
In fact, his hometown had already been destroyed.
But after being saved by God's messenger this time, he believed that his homeland had returned.
Having already received God's blessings, how could he accept payment from his friend?
After several hours, I returned to my hometown.
"Dad."
"Yinsen's back."
"Yinsen, where have you been? I haven't been able to find you for days."
Friends and family bombarded him with questions, completely forgetting the memory of his death.
"I'm back."
Yinsen became the village priest.
A few days later, a construction company came and said that all the environmental improvements they were making to help impoverished villages would be free.
Yinsen pulled out the phone Tony had given him, and a message popped up on the screen.
No one can take anything from me Tony Stark, but no one can refuse a gift from me Tony Stark, including you.
The words Tony used to provoke the robbers a few days ago seem to echo in my ears again.
Yinsen simply prayed silently for his friend, his eyes filled with tears.
"God will protect you, Tony."
