I Also Found Some Bird Eggs, We Can Boil Them Tonight

"Host..." 001 had barely been happy for a moment when it heard the alarm for the destruction value skyrocketing. It came over miserably to comfort him. "That guy surnamed Chi is just bad with words. You can straighten him out after some training..."

Xia Yu walked deeper into the mountains, his expression cold. "Who's your host?"

"Of course it's you. We've shared so many lifetimes of friendship."

"I think Chi Yan looks more like your host. Why don't you bind yourself to him?"

It shook its head desperately. "No, no! My loyalty to you, Host, is witnessed by heaven and earth! That Chi guy is an ungrateful bastard! You've given him so many chances, yet he still hasn't learned! He's too much! I spit on him! I despise him! I'll draw a circle and curse him to never get a wife!"

"..." 105 silently hugged its tiny body. Boss, you really are like a fence-sitter. You lean whichever way the wind blows.

"Heh..." Xia Yu couldn't be bothered arguing with it. "How many points do we have?"

001 quickly brought up the system shop. "We've scraped together thirty-five thousand, Host."

He frowned, deeply dissatisfied with that progress. It looked like he needed to pull off something big.

"Phew..." A whistle came from overhead. The next second, Qi Ning jumped down from a tree and landed steadily in front of him, tossing his flamboyant red hair. "Don't move. Surrender your weapon and you won't be killed."

Xia Yu looked at him with some disdain.

"Hehehe, I'm just messing with you. I promised to keep you until the end."

"What are you squatting here for?"

"Lying in ambush. I guessed you'd come out looking for Revival Cards. If you hadn't come this way, whoever those other two were, I'd have sent them straight to the Black Room."

"Oh. Then go find them. Move."

Qi Ning grabbed his arm. "Bro, don't go. Remember our agreement from the beginning?"

"What agreement?"

"Hey, why is your memory so bad? I'd keep you until the end, and if I got killed halfway through, you'd revive me."

Xia Yu nodded. "Mm. Did you find a Revival Card?"

He pulled a card from his clothes. "Those dogs who stick together promised to find two for me. They still owe me one, but let's make this clear first: the Revival Card I give you can only be used to revive me. You can't use it on anyone on your team. Once they give me the remaining one, I'll keep it myself. If they break their word and kill you, I'll use it to revive you."

"Fine."

Qi Ning handed over the Revival Card. "Don't lie to me. I'm your real little brother."

"I won't." Xia Yu tucked the card into his pocket. "Anything else? If not, I'm going to look for supplies."

"Oh, there is." He took a bottle of water from his backpack. "This damn Production Team is too stingy to even provide water. I searched forever before finding two bottles. One's for you."

"Thanks."

"You're my brother, after all. All right, I'm heading back to see what good stuff they found. I won't take you out too quickly. I'll let you play for a while. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

[Isn't this touching brotherly love way better than the manufactured sweetness next door?!]

[Just for how wholeheartedly Qi Ning treats my husband, I'll definitely argue back against anyone who mocks him from now on!]

[I hope handsome cousin doesn't betray puppy's trust! Please, please, make sure you save that Revival Card for him!]

[Help! I always thought Xia Yu was the bottom, but after seeing him naked, that body is absolutely made to be a top! Now whenever I ship him with someone, I imagine him on top!]

[My husband can't possibly be gay! With those perfect abs, even if he is gay, he'll always be the top! I refuse to let him get fucked! He can only fuck me!]

Unaware that his half-naked appearance had sparked such heated discussion, Xia Yu followed the cheat he had bought from the shop and soon found a box containing a Revival Card in the grass. Just as he was about to take it, he glanced to the side, his eyes flickering as he took out his walkie-talkie.

"Brother."

"What is it? Did you run into someone from the Red Team?"

"No. I found a Revival Card, along with some supplies. I forgot to bring my backpack. Can you come take them?"

Chu Lan didn't think much of it. "Which direction?"

"Southeast of the base. Fifty meters to the right from the fork in the road, in the overgrown grass."

"Wait there. I'll be right over."

He wasn't far away and found him in less than ten minutes.

Xia Yu sat on the ground and waved with a smile. "Brother, over here."

Chu Lan walked over and saw the small pile of supplies beside him, looking somewhat surprised. "You found all these?"

"Yep." He waved the card in his hand. "There's also a Revival Card. Although Qi Ning gave me one too, I can't give that one to you."

"Forget about his card."

"Should we revive them now? There's only one, so we can only revive one person."

"Reviving one is better than none." Chu Lan set down his backpack and took the Revival Card. "One more person means one more person to help find supplies."

"Then you decide who to revive."

"Mm, let me think."

Hugging his jacket, Xia Yu looked at the backpack beside him and asked as if casually, "Brother, I also found some bird eggs. Can I put them in your bag first? We can boil them tonight."

Chu Lan was caught up in choosing between two people and nodded without paying much attention. "Put them in. Just don't crush them."

"Okay." He carefully put the things wrapped in his jacket into the backpack, then sat beside it with a bright smile and waited.

Hidden some distance away, White Wolf nudged Black Snake's arm. "Those aren't bird eggs, are they...?"

Black Snake frowned. "They don't seem to be."

"Should we remind the young master?"

"Mm... Let's watch first. I'm afraid he'll be unhappy if we disturb him. It probably won't be a problem."

"All right."

After struggling for a while, Chu Lan finally came to a decision. "Let's revive Sister Liu Yue first."

Xia Yu smiled at him. "Whatever you say, Brother."

The way Xia Yu looked at him made a chill crawl up Chu Lan's spine. He picked up the supplies from the ground. "Let's go. We'll head back first."

"Okay."

[Xia Yu, please stop calling Chu Lan brother! I can't take it anymore!]

[I can't take it either! At first I shipped them as the cool guy and the spoiled little brat, but then you all kept saying Xia Yu was bigger than Chu Lan when he pulled it out, and I instantly went soft!]

[Let me say this first: Chu Lan is an A, and Xia Yu is also an A. Double As never end well!]

[Who understands? After seeing Xia Yu naked, every time he calls Chu Lan brother, I picture Zhang Fei calling Liu Bei big brother...]

[I kind of want to start chanting along with the Qingchu CP fans now. Chu Lan belongs to Xia Wanqing! Xia Yu belongs to me!]

[Can you stop constantly emphasizing that you saw my husband naked?! You only saw his upper body! Sob... You're making me think you saw everything during that black-screen segment, while I'm the only one who didn't see it!]

On the luxury yacht, Chi Yan watched the barrage fill with comments calling Xia Yu their husband and claiming to have seen him naked. His face had darkened like the bottom of a pot. There were fewer people shipping Xia Yu and Chu Lan now, but ninety-nine percent firmly believed Xia Yu was the top.

It reminded him of that night at the hotel, when Xia Yu had taken out lubricant and wanted to do something to him. If he hadn't broken free at the last moment, he would have already been...

And he still hadn't coaxed Xia Yu into forgiving him. Perhaps Xia Yu still hadn't given up on getting even by topping him. Tch, that was another troublesome issue to deal with. He had to think carefully about how to persuade Xia Yu to abandon that idea. Once they got together, there was no way he would be the one on the bottom!
