Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Xus: Talk about it.

Can you at least explain why I sleep so weirdly?

Zolf: Blame me?

You're the one holding the document and never letting go, you don't even know how hard it took me to open it.

...Xiao Xiaodi, revenge is not too much, right?

Xus: ...idiot.

Other than that I can't think of a suitable way to say it.

How can he still look like an old child after living for dozens of years.If Xus wasn't lying on the bed right now, he might have fallen directly because of the momentary dizziness.

Zolf: Change to a cuter one?I want to hear from you...

"Stupid", or something like that.

How about making it simpler and adding a "big" in front of "idiot"?

Xus: Before I use the word "stupid", you quickly look in the dictionary and learn what it means to "don't push your feet".

Pushing his elbow and giving this man a moderate abdominal blow, Xus muttered in a low voice that luckily he didn't have a cold.However, he usually sleeps in the office a lot, and the ordinary rest at the table will not make him catch a cold and get sick.

Think about it this way... I've been busy with Flo's affairs recently, and it's been a long time since I slept in a warm bed, let alone exercise at night.

Zolf's sudden displeasure may be more than just jealousy.

Xus: ...

fool.

Zolf: Huh?

It feels different than I expected.

Say it again?

Xus: Enough is enough.

Zolf: What a pity...

—Come here, let me try.

Xus was looking at the clock at this time, and the time was ten past six.

Suddenly a hand was placed on his forehead.

The man touched it for a long time before he felt relieved.

Zolf: Actually.

Hmm... a little selfish, maybe.Occasionally, I feel that it is not bad that you are born sick.

Xus: Eh, why?

And it's almost work time, let me go?

Zolf: No, yes.

He got worse, his legs got entangled, and his whole body was as effective as an octopus.

Thanks to him, Xus immediately realized that there was no need to think about "being in place early".

Zolf: If Xus is sick.

I can hold you here forever.

Xus: (It's hopeless, it seems.)

However, it was normal when you chatted with Flo yesterday.

What about being jealous?

(...)

(I feel like I shouldn't mention him...?)

Zolf: That.

After all, he is also his own subordinate.

He added in a low voice, "Although it's your adopted child." He thought Xus didn't hear it.

What did he take such a close distance for?

Zolf: Do you still want to maintain your image in front of your subordinates?

Don't you too?I don't remember Xus being such a serious person in private.

After arguing so much with him just now, Xus has absolutely no room to refute.

Xus: That's because! ——Because, because!

Uh... nothing, don't worry about it.

……What are you doing?

The abdomen suddenly felt warm, and the little fat was kneaded several times by him childishly. Zolf seemed to think this was very interesting, pinching him endlessly, there was a posture that could pinch him for a lifetime.

Zolf: That's great.

Xus: Huh?

Zolf: You, you have gained a lot of weight recently.

Although still so short.

Xus: Mmm...too much!

Dissatisfied with waving this guy away, Xus was slightly annoyed and moved to the side.

He grabbed the quilt and pulled the whole quilt to his side.

Zolf: Huh—?

The quilt used for the double bed is large and long. If one person enjoys it, the extra part is really old.

Even though most of it was on the ground, Xus still stubbornly kept Zolf out of reach.

Xus: Hmph, you're going to be cold.

...It's already mid-spring, what a pity.

Zolf: Wow.You can't be serious, you want to freeze me to death?

Xus: That's what you deserve.

(...)

(Eh, it seems...too heavy?)

There was a pause for a while, and there was no sound from behind for a while.Feeling strange and guilty, Xus turned his head awkwardly and looked at it quietly from the corner of his eye.

Seeing the desolate look on his face, Xus immediately felt terrible, and immediately became flustered.

He returned the quilt in a messy manner, and he stuttered because of nervousness.

Xus: Zor...?That... quilt, return the quilt to you?

I'm sorry... I didn't think... I didn't mean to say something so over the top.

……sorry?

Zolf: Huh?

It's okay.

Together with the man and the quilt, Xus was captured in a batter-wrapped shrimp position.

Even after decades of life, this person's liking for physical contact has not diminished at all, and it has even increased a lot compared to the beginning.

Zolf: I'm still happy.

I see how energetic you are.

Xus: ...time.

——It's getting late, and I still want to go there early.

He is clingy, he is clingy, and he can be stopped if he should stop.The character between reliable and annoying makes the life of the two of them generally smooth and warm.

Sometimes looking back, Xus couldn't believe it. The self who was so dark that he didn't say a word for three or five days has now become able to quarrel loudly—in Zolf's words, "flirting", He was reluctant to admit the description, but it was accurate.

Zolf: ...Xus.

Xus: Huh?

I'm ready to get dressed, you say.

Zolf: I still regret it.

You wouldn't be so tired if it didn't involve you in the work.

Xus: ...

I think it's not bad.

It's important to me to be able to help.

……gone.

Zolf: Got it.

I will sleep a little longer.

take care of yourself, ok?

Xus nodded and walked out of the room.

A new day is just outside the door.
