Chapter 69

Chapter 69

When Lu Wei opened his eyes again, he felt very satisfied.

Because he had finally enjoyed the protagonist's standard starting setup—waking up in a soft, comfy bed.

And on the left side of his bed sat a handsome, tall man in his late twenties, dressed in a black military uniform.

The man was holding Lu Wei's left hand, his eyes red-rimmed as he kept watch.

Looking around, he was in a modern, minimalist room with a stark, cold aesthetic. Everything in the room, from the sofa to the ceiling light, from the ceiling to the floor, was done in shades of black, white, and gray.

The furniture was extremely avant-garde in design. Even with Lu Wei's eye as a top figure in every world, he had only seen similar things in the experimental works of some avant-garde artists.

The man holding his hand had black hair and blue eyes, broad shoulders, long legs, and features as sharp and handsome as if carved, yet carrying the unique firmness and disciplined air of a soldier.

However, the man's hair was disheveled, his chiseled jaw covered with stubble, and there were dark shadows under his ice-blue eyes. Clearly, he hadn't tended to himself properly or gotten adequate rest for at least two or three days.

When he realized Lu Wei was awake, the man's ice-blue eyes widened instantly, lighting up with joy.

But...

Who exactly are you, dude?

Lu Wei called out to 031 in his mind, trying to figure out and deal with the current situation, but there was no response at all.

Great, the system's dead. If you need something, burn some paper money.

Lu Wei felt incredibly awkward as he stared back at the man, trying to withdraw his hand from the man's grasp, but he couldn't pull it free.

Lu Wei shifted his gaze to his own hand and found it was noticeably smaller than the man's. In the man's grip, it appeared pale, slender, lovely, and delicate. He was thunderstruck.

Th-this couldn't mean he had transmigrated into a woman's body, could it?

Given the system's usual antics, it was absolutely not impossible!

Even though Lu Wei had always been calculating and composed, his mind was thrown into turmoil. Despite experiencing various adversities in previous worlds, he had never imagined a situation where he would become a woman!

At that moment, the man licked his dry lips and spoke to Lu Wei in a slightly raspy, deep, magnetic baritone, "Lu Wei, perhaps you don't remember who I am..."

It was a language Lu Wei had never heard before, yet he could oddly understand it completely.

Though inwardly in turmoil, Lu Wei kept a poker face as he looked at him.

I really don't know who you are, dude.

But you seem eager to tell me.

"My name is Mu Fenggui, and I am your... fiancée." Mu Fenggui indeed began his self-introduction, and then his firm, handsome face visibly reddened.

Lu Wei stared at Mu Fenggui for a while, from the stubble on his firm jaw to his Adam's apple, then to his broad shoulders, broad flat chest, and the low voice he had just heard... He was absolutely certain and sure that Mu Fenggui was male.

...Either Mu Fenggui was out of his mind, or there was something wrong with this world.

Being completely clueless about this world, Lu Wei's mind was in complete disarray. Yet, on his face, he displayed a fittingly troubled look for the scene, "...Is that so? I'm sorry, but I don't remember anything."

Hearing his own voice, Lu Wei's heart finally settled down a bit.

Although it was a clear, youthful voice somewhere between adolescent and young man, his own voice was undoubtedly male.

At least he hadn't really been transmigrated into a woman.

"It's alright, it's alright." Mu Fenggui quickly squeezed his hand a bit tighter, his eyes reddening as he gazed at Lu Wei eagerly, his throat bobbing, "Maybe forgetting is a good thing. We can start over, slowly creating memories for our future together!"

Lu Wei looked at the emotionally worked up Mu Fenggui, his pupils narrowing slightly.

This man... something's off.

So Lu Wei heaved a soft sigh and asked offhandedly, "How did I lose my memory?"

"It was an accidental attack." Mu Fenggui stiffened slightly and began to describe in a measured, precise tone, "We became engaged through genetic matching on the Star Network. You originally lived in the R star system. On your way here to marry me, the starship you were on was attacked by space pirates, resulting in you being severely injured..."

At this point, Mu Fenggui shook his head, as if unable to continue, his expression pained, "I'm sorry, Lu Wei."

Lu Wei looked at Mu Fenggui, his gaze calm.

Good, this man is lying.

However, he had no intention of exposing it.

The unusual terms in Mu Fenggui's words—Star Network, genetic matching, star system, space pirates—made Lu Wei realize once again that he was indeed in a world he knew nothing about.

And although Mu Fenggui was deceiving him, the intense, genuine emotions he felt towards Lu Wei were almost palpable and couldn't be faked.

"I need to use the bathroom." Lu Wei slowly sat up from the bed. This simple action made his entire body ache, so he made the request to Mu Fenggui.

"I'll take you." Mu Fenggui quickly reached out, carefully supporting Lu Wei as he got up, as if handling a precious, fragile item.

Only when Lu Wei stood up with Mu Fenggui did he realize that his line of sight only reached Mu Fenggui's broad chest.

There was a full 30-centimeter height difference.

Even after experiencing the ups and downs of several lifetimes, someone as composed as Lu Wei couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

What kind of weak, pathetic body is this? Can it even be fixed?

He didn't discriminate against short people. In fact, he believed that a person's heart and abilities were more important than their appearance... He just couldn't accept being this short himself.

When Mu Fenggui helped Lu Wei to the toilet in the bathroom and bent down, intending to undo Lu Wei's sleep pants for him, Lu Wei shyly stopped him, "I can manage from here... You, you should step out first."

Mu Fenggui's ears instantly turned red. After flusteredly giving Lu Wei a few more instructions, he finally left the bathroom, carefully closing the door behind him.

Lu Wei raised his eyes to look at his own reflection in the full-length mirror in the bathroom.

The person in the mirror had fair, delicate skin, slender and graceful bones, deep black eyes, and possessed an impactful beauty akin to that of a poppy flower.

Even though his head was shaved bald, with greenish stubble on his scalp and a large, recently stitched-up scar resembling a centipede, the first thing you'd notice upon seeing him was still his face.

The legendary femme fatales who could topple cities and kingdoms, bewitching monarchs, probably looked no more stunning than this.

After taking a sharp breath, Lu Wei began unbuttoning his pajamas, one button at a time.

Countless scars, some deep, some shallow, were brutally scattered across the upper half of his body.

It seemed Mu Fenggui hadn't lied about him having been severely injured.

And the abdominal muscles and clearly defined v-line told him that this body wasn't as weak as he had imagined.

Lu Wei buttoned his pajamas back up, then unfastened his pajama bottoms. Hmm... it could basically rival the "great yin man" described by the Grand Historian. Thankfully, it hadn't shrunk along with his height.

After relieving himself with a swirl of unnameable feelings, Lu Wei walked out of the bathroom.

Mu Fenggui had been hovering worriedly right outside the door, not venturing far. Seeing Lu Wei emerge, he hurriedly and carefully helped him back to bed, then brought over a bowl of bland, tepid gruel to feed him.

"The doctor said your stomach can't handle flavorful solid food yet, so you can only have liquid nutrition for now," Mu Fenggui explained gently while feeding him. "Once you're better, I'll take you out for some delicious food."

Lu Wei's current body was truly quite weak. Just a trip to the bathroom left him feeling exhausted. After barely managing to swallow a few mouthfuls of the gruel fed by Mu Fenggui, he couldn't stay awake any longer and fell into a deep sleep again against the pillow.

Seeing this, Mu Fenggui put down the bowl and spoon. With one hand, he gently pulled away the pillow behind Lu Wei, and with the other, he supported Lu Wei's slender body, laying him down comfortably on his back.

Lu Wei was completely dead to the world, unaware of any of this.

Mu Fenggui noticed some gruel still clinging to the corner of Lu Wei's mouth. His beautifully shaped, petal-like lips were slightly parted, revealing neat, white teeth and a flash of pink tongue.

Mu Fenggui's ice-blue eyes darkened slightly. He leaned down and carefully licked away the residue from Lu Wei's lips.

Then he kissed Lu Wei's lips with tender, lingering affection, careful not to wake him.

A long, long time passed before Mu Fenggui reluctantly released Lu Wei's lips.

He let out a long sigh, gently pressed his forehead against Lu Wei's, and thought to himself:

I'm sorry, Lu Wei.

...

After living with Mu Fenggui for half a year, Lu Wei finally recovered his health. Through the optical brain and the Starnet, he learned exactly what kind of world he was in.

Fortunately, the written language, basic knowledge base, and how to use various electronic devices were all stored within this body. Upon contact, he understood them naturally, almost like an instinct. Lu Wei didn't have to spend a huge amount of time learning.

This was an era where humanity lived among the stars.

The empire he found himself in, named the Qingtian Dynasty, was a colossal entity possessing thirty-six star systems and thousands of human-inhabited planets.

Yes, a dynasty.

Although it was a distant future era with highly advanced technology and relative freedom, the political system was a constitutional monarchy.

The humans here all carried insectoid genes. Their physical characteristics were entirely male; the female species simply didn't exist. They were only divided into *Xiongzi* and *Cizi*.

Generally speaking, *Xiongzi* and *Cizi* were easily distinguishable by appearance.

*Xiongzi* averaged 162 cm in height, with slender and delicate frames; *Cizi* averaged 193 cm, with rugged and sturdy builds.

*Xiongzi* were rare. On average, only one *Xiongzi* appeared for every hundred newborns.

*Cizi* shouldered the vast majority of societal roles and responsibilities, including childbirth.

And when a *Cizi* reached adulthood, if they didn't receive the soothing pheromones of a *Xiongzi*, they would inevitably succumb to madness and self-destruction within twenty years.

Fortunately, modern technology had solved this problem. Even without direct contact with a *Xiongzi*, as long as *Cizi* were willing to spend some money, they could purchase *Xiongzi* pheromone sprays for relief.

The price of the pheromones was determined by the rank and potency of the *Xiongzi* who provided them.

Lu Wei was now a *Xiongzi*.

And Mu Fenggui, who was currently lying on top of him, naked with their limbs tangled together, was a *Cizi*.

"Ahhh... Lu Wei..." Mu Fenggui's blue eyes were misty with desire, his lips glistening and red with moisture as they parted.

Lu Wei leaned against the back pillow, occasionally reaching out to stroke Mu Fenggui.

Every touch sent electric tremors through Mu Fenggui's entire body.

Who would have thought that this *Cizi*, who appeared tall, resolute, and handsome, could be so wild in bed? And that he was actually the Seventh Prince of the Qingtian Dynasty?

They had gotten together naturally.

After all, half a year had already passed.

Wasn't it perfectly normal for a weak, pitiful, severely injured, helpless, amnesiac, and beautiful *Xiongzi*, facing a daily life of meticulous care from a handsome, gentle, and high-status fiancé, to let passion take over after recovering?

After the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased, Mu Fenggui reached to the bedside table, picked up a bottle of medicine, and glanced at Lu Wei.

Lu Wei nodded.

Mu Fenggui sighed, unscrewed the bottle cap, poured out a vermilion pill, and swallowed it.

Author's Note: Boss Lu, looking profound: I heard I'll be pampered and doted on in this world, hmm... (internally cheering and throwing confetti, finally can be a kept man.jpg)
