Same light

When Alfred returned to the small hotel room, Xiu Xiu was sleeping.

At first, he didn't sleep well.The frontier is too cold, and the temperature difference from the warm and pleasant home planet cannot be compensated by ordinary heating systems and a poor-quality quilt.

"Brother...Brother?"

A familiar voice called him softly, Xiu was extremely sleepy, and made a little sound from his throat, which was regarded as a response.

For this voice, he has always responded, this is an instinct since childhood.

"Brother, wake up, get up and eat something before going to bed."

Xiu subconsciously shrank even tighter into the warm embrace, not wanting to open his eyes at all - he hasn't slept so peacefully and comfortably for a long time.

This gesture seemed to please the person holding him, and the person lowered his head to place a soft kiss on his forehead.

The deep and gentle familiar male voice called him for a while, and then Xiu struggled to open his eyes. After slowly waking up, he realized why he slept so comfortably.

The quilt had been replaced with a new one at some point, and the heavy quilt that weighed him down was now thrown on the ground beside the bed, and the quilt covering him was fluffy, soft, warm and comfortable.

The room was very warm. Two small portable heating devices were placed on the ground on both sides of the bed, not to mention that there was a humanoid heater with extremely high body temperature under the blanket with him.

Xiu found out in embarrassment that he was clutching Alfred's clothes and huddling in the other's arms, he quickly let go of his hand and stepped back, only to be snatched back by Alfred.

"Brother, don't move around, the bed is only so big, it's easy to fall off."

As Alfred said, he dragged the warm pajamas he had prepared earlier from the low table beside the bed and put them on Xiu's body to prevent him from catching a cold when he got up.

The bed was too narrow, two adult men sat shoulder to shoulder, touched the exquisite material of the pajamas they were wearing, and looked around the room that had been greatly changed.

The low table beside the bed is a folding portable table, which was not in the original hotel room. The table provided by the hotel is piled with daily necessities and food.The bedding was new and he even had a big cushion behind him.The two portable heaters on the ground were newly installed, and the door of the simple single-person wardrobe was open, which was already filled with daily clothes.

There was a large open suitcase on the ground, and there were some toiletries in it. Alfred was afraid that making too much noise with the bottles and jars would make the repairs so noisy, so he hadn't tidied them up yet.There are also a bunch of scattered compression bags next to it. Obviously, these fluffy and warm bedding and clothes were compressed with compression bags and packed in the suitcase and brought back.

Xiu blinked and said, "Why did you buy so many things?"

"They are all common travel items." Alfred said, seeing his gaze fell on the suitcase, he added, "There are too many things to carry, so I bought another suitcase."

They are not here to travel, how can they pursue the quality of life when traveling... Xiu was a little helpless, but Alfred had already moved back, and besides, he had slept so comfortably just now, he didn't feel bad about what to say, and asked again: "How long have you been back? I don't even know."

"It's been a while. After changing the quilt, I saw that you slept soundly, and I was reluctant to wake you up, but we haven't eaten for a long time, and it's not good for our stomach if we don't eat any more."

Alfred got out of bed to get food, and teased, "Is my brother too relieved of my breath? I've been tossing around in the room for so long, but you're not awake at all, and you weren't even alert when I went to bed—" —Is it because you used to sleep together before?"

Xiu's face turned hot, and he argued, "It's because I haven't slept well recently, and I'm too tired."

Alfred didn't refute him, and brought him food to the bed, correcting his intention to get out of bed, Alfred said: "Don't get up, the bed is warmer. I bought the one with a plate specially, you can Eat in bed."

Xiu took the plate, raised his head and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten," Alfred sat by the bed, "but brother, if you want to feed me a couple more bites, you can."

Xiu pretended not to hear, and started to eat.He held the dinner plate in one hand and the spoon in the other. He habitually straightened his back and chewed slowly. He obviously just sat on the bed and ate a simple meal, but he could still eat elegantly.

Alfred looked at it lovingly for a while, and said, "Today is too late, tomorrow I will go out and buy a small bed table, so that you don't have to hold it with your hands, and you can eat more comfortably."

Xiu swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and then said, "No need. Don't keep appearing around frequently, it's easy..."

"I know I know." Alfred said, "don't worry, these things are bought in the next town, I don't show up in this town much. Now it's everywhere that I'm martyred, and the emperor is on another planet in the other direction I searched online, but I haven’t suspected this yet.”

"What?" Xiu was stunned, "It is rumored that you died for your country?"

Alfred turned on his handheld and adjusted the visual mode to show him the news of "The Crown Prince's Martyrdom".

"The two spaceships exploded shortly after we left, and the nearby military base has rushed over to search the wreckage, but there are no survivors. Those who took the escape ship to Whitehead Star also confirmed that I did not leave with them."

"Then the rumor shouldn't have started so quickly..." Xiu frowned, "Is it artificially instigated? The emperor? Or..."

"Your soup is getting cold," Alfred said. "Shall I warm it up for you?"

As he spoke, he went to get the soup box on the dinner plate, and Xiu reached out and grabbed the soup box.

"Alfred."

"what?"

"This matter is very wrong. I still don't understand why the emperor wants you to die so eagerly. Even if he plans to conceive a new heir, he should deal with you first, and wait until the heir grows up before making trouble. This is safer. "

Alfred said: "Maybe he thinks that I will seize the throne once I return from victory."

Xiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why does he think so?"

"Maybe I quarreled with him before I set off, and I accidentally gave him this illusion."

"careless?"

Alfred innocently looked at Xiu with wide eyes, his light-colored pupils were beautiful under the light, clear and pure.

"Brother, can I take a shower first? This way the bathroom is hot, so you won't be cold when you take a shower later."

Xiu and those pale yellow eyes looked at each other for a while, then nodded involuntarily, letting him go temporarily.

After washing away the dust from the whole day's running around, and changing into new pajamas and lying on the bed, Xiu felt tired and sleepy again, obviously having slept for half a day before.

He had noticed that something was wrong with his body before, but for a long time before, he had the mentality of going to death, so naturally he didn't care much about any discomfort.Now that I have to assist Alfred to ascend the throne, it is better to find a chance to check...

Thinking about it, Alfred went to bed and tried to squeeze into his quilt.

"Didn't you buy two quilts?" Xiu held down his quilt, not letting him in.

"That's for changing clothes." Alfred said, "Brother, my wrist hurts a bit."

Xiu paused, knowing that he was changing the subject, he couldn't help asking: "Why does it hurt?"

"I went to the next town today, and I met local gangsters, and they beat me up." Alfred said aggrievedly, "There was a man with enhanced strength. I took his fist hard, and my wrist seemed to be injured."

"Why don't you use your ability to block it?"

Xiu just asked, and he already knew why——if there is any disadvantage of the golden pupil, it is that the dazzling color of the eyes will reveal the identity when using it.Alfred didn't want to expose the golden pupil, so he could only use his hands to catch it.

Xiu felt distressed, and said quickly, "Let me see."

Alfred squeezed into the quilt and showed Xiu his wrist.

"The bones are fine..." Xiu lightly pinched his wrist, and carefully turned it over and over under the lamp to see if it was swollen. "Why did you have a conflict with the local gang?"

Alfred buried his head in Jinxiu's neck, looking too aggrieved to speak.

Xiu reached out and ran his hand through his soft blond hair.

"The gangs and gangs on the planets of Osherus should be dealt with properly. They have sent letters every year to order them to be dealt with, but they have not seen any results. When I free up my hands..."

He was talking to himself for a while, and found that Alfred did not reply, and only then did he realize that Alfred had fallen asleep.

Unlike Xiu, Alfred has been busy running all day without stopping, so he must be exhausted.

Xiu gently moved his head to the pillow, a little wanting to get out of bed to get another quilt, he hesitated for a while looking at the sleeping Alfred, with a little struggle on his face.

This feeling is wrong.Alfred wants to be emperor, and he wants to be a good emperor praised by history books. He shouldn't indulge Alfred's...

Xiu sat silently for a long time, finally he gritted his teeth and lay down lightly.

Now they are trapped here by the situation. This is a special situation, and there is no way to pay so much attention to etiquette for the time being.He thought to himself before falling into a deep sleep.

Strong long arms wrapped around his waist, Xiu leaned over in a daze, snuggled into the familiar warm embrace, and fell asleep.
