A Bolt From the Blue

Xie Yan almost cried out in pain. He looked at Huo Nai and found that sweat drops fell from his temples, his pupils were contracting, his lips and face quickly turned pale.

"Huo Nai? Milk pot? 1 " Xie Yan called out to him.

However, Huo Nai had no time to respond to him. He was fighting against the pain with his will power.

The cold invaded his body, injected into his pores, even knocked against his bones and were full of cold. He felt that he was in space without a spacesuit, like he was close to absolute zero, even his cells were frozen and cracking. Only the warmth on the palm of his hand proved that he was still alive. Countless pieces rushed to him like a waterfall, the bright blue light zapped around him, the explosion was so sudden that he was caught off guard.

He was exposed to space, and a stray bullet hit him, bringing him closer to the open Stargate. He was sucked in. He fell on a road full of stars. There were twinkling stars everywhere and he thought this was his last moment to be alive.

Zhu Que rushed up to wrap around him. One man and one machine deviated from the original route and rushed into the endless abyss

"Zhu Que..." In the confusion, he only remembered the name.

Huo Nai opened his eyes.

"How are you?" Xie Yan asked eagerly.

In that moment, Huo Nai really scared him.

Huo Nai nodded, Xie Yan was relieved, his mouth turned up and he put on a professional fake smile, he gnashed his teeth and asked, "Can you let go?"

Huo Nai looked at the hand he was holding.

Xie Yan's skin was very white, as if it couldn't be suntanned. The back of his hand was almost transparent, the veins and blood vessels were obvious, and it was also very fragile. If he pinched it a little, there would be a red mark, just as if he had done it on purpose.

"You've been pinching it for half an hour! My hand was almost broken!" Xie Yan raised his hand to show Huo Nai that he had clenched his hand so tightly and so his skin was now as red as chili sauce, making people want to bite it.

Xie Yan glared at him, and Huo Nai let go.

Taking back his left hand, Xie Yan shook it so the blood would return to it and said, "I think you have to compensate me."

"Can I leave before my one month of serving you as a bodyguard is up?" Huo Nai said lightly. His tone was very flat, Xie Yan was sensitive to the change of his mood, and he couldn't help but look at him again. Huo Nai let him look and there was a complex feeling in his eyes.

His momentum had changed, and it felt like he was somehow alienated. The days before with the two men almost seemed like a dream. Although Huo Nai was slightly proud when he first met him, he soon took a place in this new life.

Now, he had a new layer of skin called alienation.

But not completely.

He seemed to think of some past events, but new things covered the old ones, like a plant with old and new branches and leaves alternating, which danced repeatedly between winter and spring.

Xie Yan understood that this month's assignment was probably the compensation for the company. He sighed with a little regret.

"You won't ask?" Huo Nai was surprised to see Xie Yan stop talking after a few glances.
