"...So he is a straight man, you want to break him?" The man in the light screen in front of Balan said, "I am not flattering you, Master Balan, with your power and wealth, you want to make a commoner straight man Turning corners is easy."

What's more, you are beautiful.

"...It's not that kind of relationship," Balan frowned slightly, "I want to help him pursue other women, because we are friends, but I don't want to do that in my heart, do you understand?"

"It's simple. He's just a commoner. It's too easy for him to be unable to get close to the woman despite his hard work. If you use a little tricks, I'll thank you if you guarantee that he will get nothing..."

"But I like him," Balaam interrupted.

"There are many kinds of likes. You have no experience, and you don't know what you want... You think that you just need to fall in love, but when you get him, you will find that it is actually nothing more than that."

"I want him to kiss me."

Of course he knew what he wanted.

But it's much harder than getting a young man's penis.

The pale curly-haired man said with some embarrassment:

"I'm just a marketing planner, not a human planner..."

"1000 gold coins."

"Actually, there is a very convenient way - to lure him with benefits, let him indulge in masculinity first, and then..."

"2000 gold coins."

"...Okay, I will think about it carefully and give you a plan within 24 hours."

"Do you confirm the identity of the competitor?"

"confirm."

"Confirmation is successful, Atossa Judit is a competitor, you will get the 'Gold Finger' reward, please check it under the interface toolbar."

Su Shi asked: "Will the other party receive the notification?"

The system said: "If Atosha confirms the competitor to the system, if it is the wrong object, then the system will only prompt her to confirm that the object is wrong; if she confirms to the system that you are a competitor, then the system will tell her that the object is correct, But the 'Gold Finger' has already been claimed, and she will not be able to get the reward."

——That is to say, unless Atosha confirms to the system that Su Shi is a competitor, she will not learn from the system that Su Shi has discovered that she is a competitor.

At this time, the system interface of Sushi has also changed to:

"Story Progress: 4/7 Favorability: -/100 Items: Optional (1)"

Su Shi looked at the small bar in the favorability scale that seemed to be a negative sign, and thought that Xerxes probably already knew his existence.

Sisera Manor.

There is a clear spring in a certain flower field. The spring water is clear and the water temperature is only slightly lower than the air temperature. It is a good place to relieve the heat.

Surrounding the bath is a whole patch of red flowers, a kind of flower that Su Shi didn’t recognize—it was about the height of his shoulders. The stems of the plants were dry brown, the leaves were sparse and small, and the upper half of them were staggered with small Bright red flowers——swaying in the breeze at this time.

Both Su Shi and Balan were sitting under the parasols by the pool, soaking in the pool water with red flower petals floating on it.Both of them held a glass of wine in their hands.

"... Atossa, have you thought about your future?"

"The future? We have no future."

"Then why...don't you want to be with her?"

"Baram, what were you doing when you were 80?"

Balan didn't know why he suddenly changed the subject, thought for a while and said, "Many things... Once I had a falling out with my father, so I took a harp and ran away from home, intending to become a wandering entertainer. I have been to many City, every time I perform to earn a certain amount of money, and then spend it all to go to the next city...until he shows up and apologizes to me, but at that time I am not angry anymore. Now that I think about it, those things are always taken out when I sit on the street The harp immediately appeared to watch and listen and the people who gave a lot of money should be made by my father."

"Then what will you do in another 80 years?"

Because of Su Shi's relaxed tone, Balan followed suit and talked:

"Wait until I manage my jewelry brand into the world's number one luxury product and then play something else. At that time, there should be new technologies, right? The life of the blood race is quite boring..."

Balaam stopped suddenly.

Su Shi didn't care, just smiled and said:

"If there is no accident, I will still die in 80 years. My life is short, and my youth is even shorter. I can love her, but I can't be with her, you understand?"

He turned to look at Balaam.

Balan looked at him with indescribable emotion in his eyes. For a moment, it seemed that the overlapping petals were separated in an instant due to the water waves.

But before Su Shi saw that look clearly, he had already turned his face away.

Su Shi didn't know what was wrong, and didn't really want to continue the previous topic.

The two fell silent for a moment.

"You haven't been... dating much lately."

After a while Balaam spoke.

"She said it was inconvenient for her to contact me... I kept wondering if Xerxes suspected her..."

"It's not impossible," Balan said. "Since Xerxes is really planning to marry her, it's impossible for him to be unaware of her affairs. He probably knows about your past with Atossa."

"I don't want to bring gossip about her, or have her... Duke Xerxes disrespect her."

"But you still want to see her."

"Can I meet her as a friend?"

"The Duchess Windsorly is going to hold a ball, and she will go, and I have also received an invitation...at the end of this month."

Su Shi was silent for a while and said: "...that day happened to be our acquaintance anniversary."

"You know, except for small gatherings in private, humans are not allowed to participate in formal gatherings of nobles. You can dress up as my servant, but in this way, if you are discovered, you will be at risk. Seeing that you have any contact with Atossa, it is more likely to arouse others' suspicion. Unless..."

"unless?"

"Unless you are my 'lover', I can take you in openly, and I don't have to worry about someone suspecting that you have something to do with Atossa. But the status of 'lover' is not very... Maybe you can't accept it."

Balaam looked at the flower fields in front of him.

"Then can you accept it?"

"Of course, I can be yours..." Balan turned back and said, "I mean, you can be my lover. Just like the one shown on TV, we can be 'contract lovers'."

Su Shi lowered his head and thought for a while, "...I think this is a good idea. And even if Xerxes suspects Atossa, it can also prevent her from falling into a crisis of public opinion."

"I'll explain the situation to Atossa in advance...but since it's a 'lover relationship', some intimate interactions are unavoidable, so it's best to get used to it first." Balan turned his body to Su Shi, holding the red wine glass with one hand. Put it on the side of the bath, put your hand on it, and hold Su Shi between your arms like a hug, hold Su Shi's hand resting on the edge of the pool with the other hand, lift his hand and kiss on the back of his hand ,"what do you think?"

Balaam observed Su Shi's expression.

This level of contact was nothing to Su Shi.

And since he wants to attack Xerxes, it is also necessary to adapt to a certain degree of intimacy with men.

It can be said that pretending to be a "lover" with Balan has only advantages and no disadvantages for him.

Su Shi nodded and said, "I think it's okay."

Balan inserted his fingers into his, interlocked his fingers, and stared at Su Shi in a blink of an eye.

Su Shi smiled slightly, his eyes were pure and free of distracting thoughts, but it was impossible to divert their attention.

Balaam bowed his head and kissed him on the shoulder, then quickly looked up at him.

Su Shi felt that perhaps it was Balan who needed to get used to it... He closed his eyes.

The long eyelashes drooped down, and the corner of his lips smiled, which made Balan's heart feel as if a few beats had been taken out of his heart in an instant.

Balaam raised his body and got closer to him, the pool water made the sound of surging water with his movements... He twisted a lock of his golden hair with his fingertips, and kissed him little by little from the tip of the hair to the root of his hair.

Su Shi only felt that his head was a little heavy, but his scalp felt a little soft.

Balaam's lips brushed against his eyebrows, and after a moment's pause, they landed on his lips without breathing.

Su Shi didn't react to the jelly-like cool lips for a while, and then turned his face away after being stunned for a moment.Balaam buried his face in his shoulder and kissed his neck lightly.

The flesh of the lips was crushed and rubbed against one part of the neck incomparably softly, which made Su Shi feel a little itchy.

Su Shi raised his hand to push him away, but when he put his hand on Balan's shoulder, he found that Balan's whole body was trembling slightly.

Wow... Balaam is really straight. Does contact with the same sex make him tremble uncontrollably due to his resistance and disgust?

Su Shi felt that he had really sacrificed a lot, and that he was really a brother.

He patted Balaam on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Wow—" was the sound of Balaam's waist receding in the pool water.

When Su Shi looked up, he only saw Balan's back covered with petals.

Balan stepped out of the pool, took off the cloak on one shelf and put it on, and walked towards the sea of ​​flowers beside him with a cigarette and a lighter.He held a cigarette in one hand, and with the hand holding the lighter, he scattered the flowers and brushed the willows, pushed away the red flowers in front of him, and walked into it.

Balan stood in the open space among the flowers, raised his head and exhaled a few puffs of smoke. The white smoke was plundered by the wind, dragged and scattered in one direction almost parallel to the ground.

He looked down at his left hand, where the cigarette was trembling between his fingers.

He clasped the wrist of his left hand with his right hand, and both hands trembled together.

...that was very abnormal, and no normal man would tremble from being close to another man.

The cigarette was gradually extinguished between his fingers, and Balan lit the lighter, and the soft golden flame danced in the wind.He brought the flame to his left hand, not to relight the cigarette, but to burn his fingers with the flame.

Trying to stop my trembling.

He cannot reveal his emotions.

Then he can no longer get close to him.

There was a rustling sound from behind, and Balan turned around. It was Su Shi who was flicking the flower branches towards this side, and the scattered delicate red flowers swayed and undulated even more as he walked.

He stopped, didn't come out, just stood behind the flower branches about a foot thick, poking his head out of the flower wall to look at him.

"I don't have a drying towel."

Balaam moved his lips before saying:

"In a wooden box."

"Oh."

Su Shi turned around and went back to the bathtub.

The flower branches are swaying again, and the color of yellow is faintly in the gaps of the flower branches.

The cigarette rolled to the ground, and Balan bent down, sighed in pain, and felt some kind of desire rising in his body.This longing was very faint, but because it was repeated, it made him feel painful.

Things in this world are hard to get even if you get close, but...

The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, the sweetheart.
