Lately, this guy has been practically everywhere. These Sirius-filled days made him feel suffocated.
Nalun asked: “How did you know I’d come?”
“I didn’t know.”
Nalun rolled his eyes internally. If you didn’t know, how did you get someone to stop him here?
“I just spoke a few words with people around the areas where you appeared. If you happened to appear again, they would help me connect to you.”
After understanding the story, Nalun said gloomily: “Why would they listen to you? They’d even willingly cooperate with this kind of vague request?” Was the Imperial Admiral’s charms this powerful?
“That’s right.” Sirius sounded profound: “Because I said that I was waiting for the person who was with me that night.”
That night?
Nalun froze for a moment and then instantly understood what this person meant.
“After they learned of this, they all expressed they were eager to cooperate and would do their utmost to help me find that person.” Sirius paused for half a second and said quietly: “They’ve even been reporting their progress to me everyday.”
Oh fck, this was practically insane!
So gossipy, sooner or later, they’d need treatment.
Nalun scoffed. With the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the unknown crowd of people behind him, who had their ears perked and were eavesdropping.
“……”
He turned around and said: “Don’t get me involved with your sensational news coverage.”
Sirius said grievously: “But you were the one confessing to me in front of a crowd just a few days ago.”
— No, he no longer remembered that.
Nalun silently blanked out: “Why don’t we talk about proper business.”
Sirius yielded amiably and said ‘okay’.
“First, I’m not your one-night-stand.”
This was proper business?
Sirius said: “That’s not what I meant.”

Rjiec, fzqgfrrlbcifrris: “P’w cba ybatfgfv.”
Sirius continued to cooperate amiably and say ‘alright’.
Rjiec: “……” Xbv vjwc rb jccbslcu.
There were some things he must make clear.
“I’m not in cohorts with that bug. I’m a lawful citizen. The reason I saved him is because…… I know him, but we’re not familiar.” He said this very seriously. However, the answer that he received was silence.
Nalun waited for a while, but still didn’t get a reply. He suddenly recalled: “Don’t tell me, you have placed a locator on the communication device and are rushing over right now?”
Sirius: “Perhaps.”
Nalun: “……”
Sirius asked: “How come you stopped talking?”
He was already coming to capture him. What else was there to say!
Sirius laughed briefly: “Just playing you. This communication device was prepared specially for you. In the future you can use it to contact me.”
At first, Nalun fell silent. Then he became indignant. Last, he laughed in fury: “Why would I contact you? With our relationship, do we need to contact each other?”
Sirius: “You still haven’t told me your name.”
Nalun said coldly: “DuoNi WaEr.”
Sirius: “……”
Just playing with you?
This obviously careless fake name didn’t actually cause any result. Sirius said with a calm and composed voice: “DuoNi, the communication device has my number. The address book has my WeChat ID. Remember to add it after you get back.”
Nalun: “…… what do you mean?”
“If I say, I was touched by your words in front of the clubhouse and want to maintain contact with you, would you believe me?”
Of, of course not!
Nalun squeezed the communication device, deciding to immediately destroy it after hanging up.
Sirius’s tone fell: “Thinking about how to destroy the communication device?”
Nalun: “……” Why did he feel like he should toss it right now?
Sirius said slowly: “Are you certain that the Metal-devouring bug escaped? Since the military was even brought over to guard the streets, why would there be such relaxed security guarding the vehicle transporting the bug. Why would you be allowed to break in so easily?”
Nalun realized immediately: “You did something.”
Sirius: “Just a shot of a nanotech so no matter where he goes, we can always find him.”
Nalun: “Why tell me?”
Sirius: “Was the medicinal bath powder effective?”
Nalun: “……” Don’t always change the topic so quickly.
Sirius: “I will tell the owner to give you a few more bags. Three times a week…… this way, your injury will recover faster.”
Nalun instantly stiffened and said vigilantly: “I’m not injured.
Sirius: “Oh, I know. It’s your friend who was injured.”
Nalun was a bit angry. He was very displeased at being led around by the nose this entire time and decided to take control of the conversation topic again: “No, I……”
Sirius: “Shh.”
Nalun: “?”
Sirius suppressed his voice: “I need to deal with something else right now. Don’t worry. Temporarily, I won’t touch that bug. However, remember to maintain contact.”
The call ended immediately after that.
Nalun looked at the dimmed screen, unable to recover even after a long time.
Was this a threat?
“Mister, your medicinal bath powder.”
Nalun turned around. He saw someone holding a huge gift box and handing it over with a huge smile. The gift box was extremely exquisite, wrapped up using a red ribbon. A paper card was even clipped to the middle.
Nalun: “……” No, I don’t want it.
In the end, Nalun became the one holding the gift box. Under the owner’s ambiguous gaze, he left, leaving with a cold and distant back view.
Walking to a certain remote and quiet corner, he took out the communication device. Looking through it for a bit, in the end, he raised his hand and threw it into the garbage can.
Did Sirius think, just by threatening him with Xi Jin……was enough to make him accept an unknown device obediently?
Nalun scoffed coldly inside. Who knows if Sirius had placed a locator on it or not. How could he leave a ticking time bomb like this next to his side?
That guy’s confident tone was really extremely annoying.
Unfortunately for him, Nalun stubbornly refused to follow his wishes.
Therefore, Nalun turned into a mall and used cash to buy a brand new communication device……
Wasn’t it just a phone number? Wasn’t it just WeChat ID?
Who said he needed to use the communication device Sirius gave him!
Although personal comps have the ability to make calls, it can only bind to one phone number. This made many people who wished to separate personal life and work feel extremely frustrated. Thus, came the birth of communication devices used purely for messaging. These can only make calls, send messages, and use some popular chat programs.
Nalun swiftly used it to send Sirius a message.

The other’s reply arrived practically within the second.
[You’re so cute.]
Nalun hesitated in confusion. Sirius shouldn’t be like this, right?
[Sorry, wrong number.]
[It’s me. Image.jpg]
An enormous selfie.
God dammit, want to throw this away!
Nalun took in a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
[Goodbye.jpg]
Right now, he really wanted to meet Sirius in person to determine if there was something wrong with the other man.
Thank you for the Chapters!
But I have to say, I always feel like Sirius already knows 😀
I’m also getting that feeling. Plus our MC keeps accidently dropping super obvious hints so if Sirius hasn’t figured it out yet my opinion of his intelligence is going to take a nose dive.
Fr 😂. It obvious, but he’s clueless for some reason.
Ikr 😂
Thank You for the new chapter(´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) ♡
😂 Shamless Sirius….. always unexpected.
Meme: Nobody’s gonna know, there gonna know.
Sirius knows his disguises moments because gossip in this intergalactic era is frightening.
It’s cute but I am stressing for Nalun even more. Sirius knows his every movement when Nalun using disguises. 😕
thanks for the chapter!
