Xie Ji was a little dizzy and let Lu Xunji carry him to the sofa.
The sofa smelled of Lu Xunji, a light fragrance of plum blossoms.
Xie Ji remembered that Lu Xunji hadn't slept well for the past two weeks, so he tugged at Lu Xunji's collar and whispered, "Lu... Lu Xunji, please... please don't do this."
Lu Xunji nuzzled Xie Ji's chin and said in a low voice, "I'm a little anxious. Comfort me, Xie Little Ji."
"..." Xie Ji touched his face and whispered, "I'm afraid you'll get too tired. Can we use something else? It'll be faster so you can get some sleep."
Lu Xunji narrowed his eyes and rubbed the back of his hand against Xie Ji's ear.
"I'll listen to you."
-
Lu Xunji was extremely difficult to please in this kind of situation, with high demands for both time and quality. Xie Ji struggled to spit out what was in his mouth, but Lu Xunji grabbed his hair and forced him to tilt his head back, where he received a deep kiss.
Xie Ji, feeling a slight pain from having his scalp pulled.
Lu Xunji quickly noticed, released his grip, and gently pressed down on his scalp, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."
Xie Ji shook his head. "It doesn't hurt."
Lu Xunji tilted her head and kissed him again.
"You look so tired." Xie Ji touched the dark circles under his eyes. "Is the situation very bad?"
Lu Xunji looked at him and nodded. "The situation is not optimistic."
He's been under a lot of stress these past few days. A normal person with this workload would fall asleep the moment their head hits the pillow, but Lu Xunji managed to grab Xie Ji and throw a tantrum on the sofa.
It was a truly terrifying presence.
Xie Ji sat on the sofa, coaxed Lu Xunji to sleep, then took the blanket next to him and covered him up before going into the bathroom.
Border defense resources were scarce, Xie Ji could only rinse his mouth with cold water and then take a small piece of ice from the ice pack and hold it in his mouth.
After doing all this, Xie Ji sat on the edge of the sofa, propping his head up as he watched Lu Xunji sleep.
Although Xie Ji was much easier than Lu Xunji's, he still worked from dawn till dusk, managing the rear arrangements very well.
Even though I know all of this is beyond redemption.
But he still refused to give up, whether it was Lu Xunji or the world that was being abandoned, Xie Ji had no choice.
All he could do was stay by Lu Xunji's side and do his last bit of effort.
What if?
Xie Ji looked at Lu Xunji's profile and gently tapped the tip of Lu Xunji's nose with his finger.
Lu Xunji was still asleep; he was fast asleep, his black hair covering his eyes and concealing his exhaustion.
Xie Ji clung to that tiny bit of wishful thinking, hoping it was better than nothing.
What if Lu Xunji could change everyone's fate?
He's so powerful and capable; it seems like he can do anything.
Lu Xunji was the smartest and most capable person he had ever met.
Thinking this, Xie Ji leaned against Lu Xunji's chest, listened to his heartbeat for a while, and then stood up and left.
The repair department still has a lot to do, and Lu Xunji will also have many things to deal with after waking up. He can't help Lu Xunji if he stays here, but he can help from the rear.
Lu Xunji slept for quite a long time, about seven or eight hours, and was woken up by the urgent ringing of the bell in the commander's office.
The moment he opened his eyes, without even having time to notice where Xie Ji had gone, he picked up the communicator and began working.
The number of those unidentified creatures is increasing, and the black hole is collapsing continuously. If this continues, the entire galaxy will probably not escape this catastrophe.
After another ten-plus hours of intense concentration, Lu Xunji exhaled a breath of stale air, picked up his cup, and got up to make himself a cup of coffee.
His break was only the time it takes to drink this cup of coffee.
There was a knock on the office door. Lu Xunji said expressionlessly, "Come in."
The dog cautiously poked half its head out Xie Ji.
Lu Xunji's sharp gaze softened instantly, her tone carrying a hint of relaxed weariness and coquettishness. "Why are you here?"
"I figured you should be resting by now, so I came to check on you." Xie Ji walked in and circled around him. "I even took a nice bath."
Lu Xunji looked at him, swallowed hard, and coughed. "I only have half an hour to rest."
Xie Ji readily agreed, "Then... shall we use our mouths?"
Lu Xunji: "..."
He rubbed his forehead against Xie Ji's, and said in a slightly manipulative tone, "Wouldn't that be too unfair to you?"
"Actually, it's alright." Xie Ji scratched his earlobe, a little shy, feeling like a delicious Little Cake delivered to Lu Xunji's lips at a set time. "... I know you want it, and you need it, and I'm willing to."
Lu Xunji has this problem: doing this kind of thing with Xie Ji can relieve his extremely tense emotions, and Xie Ji's obedience and docility in this matter can also give him great psychological satisfaction.
Lu Xunji simply doesn't have time to do anything more right now.
Xie Ji's lips were still slightly abraded, so he used his hands instead.
Lu Xunji has very high standards in this area. Xie Ji was initially an innocent and naive college student who knew nothing, but now he has been trained by Lu Xunji to be so skilled that he can rely on his technique to become a top performer in the sex industry.
Only if Lu Xunji is made comfortable can he continue working.
Xie Ji rubbed his aching wrists and sat in the office for a while. Seeing that Lu Xunji was too busy to handle everything, he decided to go back to his dormitory to sleep.
I have to get up early tomorrow to go out and collect trash.
"Where are you going?" Lu Xunji called out to him amidst his busy schedule, "I remember this time is your off-work time, right?"
Xie Ji scratched his head. "Go back to sleep, weren't you done? Still doing this... Do you have time?"
Lu Xunji glanced at him and whispered, "Sleep here."
The office sofa is fairly large; although not as comfortable as a bed, it's enough for resting.
Xie Ji hesitated for a moment.
Lu Xunji asked gently, "Is that not possible? I'll have them get a bigger bed tomorrow."
"It's not impossible. You've been sleeping up here for a month now, I'm not that delicate." Xie Ji pouted, "People saw me come in, what if they gossip about you if I don't leave all night?"
While handling military affairs on his personal computer, Lu Xunji said, "I'm not afraid."
Xie Ji pondered for a long time, "Now is not the right time. You are the commander; your reputation and the morale of the troops should be..."
"I haven't seen you in so long, Xie Ji," Lu Xunji whispered. "I want to watch you, for a long time, so no one will gossip. I'll be very quiet and won't disturb your rest... Just let me watch you sleep."
Lu Xunji's words sounded so pitiful that Xie Ji was easily swayed by them, so he nodded and went into the small bathroom.
After a quick clean-up, Xie Ji lay down on the sofa where Lu Xunji had slept for a month, enveloped in the cool, refreshing scent of plum blossoms.
Lu Xunji has a dedicated personal assistant who is responsible for cleaning Lu Xunji office. In addition, due to Lu Xunji's obsessive- Lu Xunji disorder about cleanliness, even though he has been so busy for a month that he hasn't had time to eat, he still takes twenty minutes every day to take a shower.
Xie Ji pulled the small blanket up to his nose, peeking out with his eyes to glance at Lu Xunji.
His eyes fell on the documents on the table.
To avoid disturbing Xie Ji's sleep, the main lights in the command room were turned off, leaving only some auxiliary lights and the desk lamp on Lu Xunji's desk.
Xie Ji stared at him for half an hour before Lu Xunji finally looked up and glanced in his direction.
Caught red-handed peeping, Xie Ji didn't even have time to feel shy before she met Lu Xunji's smiling eyes.
" Little Kitty Baby," Lu Xunji called to him.
Xie Ji blinked and said, " Lu Xunji, I love you very much."
Lu Xunji paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes, I know."
"If," Xie Ji looked at him, "I mean, suppose, if you knew that what you're doing right now is all in vain, would you still continue?"
