Chu Si was very tired during his sleep, with one dream following another, real and absurd, entangled in his chaotic mind. They formed a seamless connection, and this sleep was seemingly very long…
As he transitioned to his fourth or fifth dream, the area where his forehead rested against Sa’e’s back suddenly became empty.
As soon as that warm and steady touch disappeared, his headache inexplicably worsened. Chu Si instinctively furrowed his brows, but before he could open his eyes, he felt something sweep up a gust of wind in front of his face.
Bang—
He felt himself thrown open and turned into a flat-lying position. His hand, which had been covering his stomach, was gripped by a strong force and pushed aside into an extremely awkward and difficult position. Thankfully, it was not dislocated.
A low voice brushed against his cheek and landed by his ear, “Who?”
“Me…” After being attacked like this, Chu Si was finally dug out of his dream. He already felt uncomfortable all over, and after being tossed around like this, his stomach gave a severe jerk and his fingers twisted. He reluctantly opened his eyes and furrowed his brows, saying, “Sa’e Yang, have you slept so long something went wrong with your head?”
This bedroom didn’t have normal lighting, and Chu Si and Sa’e didn’t wear finger lights on their hands like Le Pen either. When the bedroom door hadn’t been closed before, the lights in the living room shone in. Now that the door was locked, the only light sources in the room were two small indicator lights at the oxygen outlet in the corner.
Those lights were only as big as grains of rice, and the light emitted could barely give a fuzzy outline of light and shadow.
Chu Si had a headache and had to focus for a while before seeing Sa’e kneeling on his body, pressing down. Sa’e wiped his face with a spare hand, and his voice sounded like he had just woken up: “I thought… you have a fever?”
If he had only faintly shown a little drowsiness in the living room before, then now his slightly hoarse voice could be said to be extremely exhausted.
It was probably the hand holding Chu Si down that felt his abnormal body temperature. He used his spare hand to touch Chu Si’s face, and said, “It really is a fever.”

Sa’e Yang had seen him look even worse, and even joked about it. It had been so long it didn’t matter anymore, and moreover, it seemed that Sa’e Yang’s condition wasn’t too good either.
“For the sake of you giving me the bed before, do you need me to find something cold to lower your fever?” In this quiet environment, every movement and sound could be heard clearly, so Sa’e didn’t raise his voice when speaking. His voice was low, with a hint of fatigue and laziness.
“No need, let go…” Chu Si moved his finger.
The hand Sa’e used to grip him loosened a bit. “What if you use your fist to hit me back?”
“I have a headache, don’t have the ability…” Chu Si moved his hand away a bit, but he didn’t have the energy to move his muscles or bones.
“Fever… headache?” Sa’e reacted and chuckled hoarsely. “How could our executive drink nutritional soup and still have side effects?”
“Same to you…” His voice seemed a bit muffled and weak, and even his usual sharp words softened a lot.
Sa’e said, “It’s not because of the side effects for me.”
Chu Si was unwilling to open his mouth and discuss this matter with him; speaking was too laborious. He didn’t open his eyes either, and groped his way over to push away the knee Sa’e pressed down on him, trying to push this extremely heavy man to the side. But there was not much force in his hand, and it felt no different from two slight pokes.
Sa’e lowered his eyes to look at the fingers on his knee, then withdrew his gaze to Chu Si’s face and the slightly disheveled hair on his forehead.
He seemed to be pondering over the series of actions taken since he awoke, and spoke, “So, was that your forehead against my back just now, Executive?”
Chu Si didn’t want to pay attention to him and pretended to be deaf.
Sa’e raised an eyebrow.
After another moment, Chu Si’s breathing had already calmed down and he was clearly asleep again. Even when he fell asleep, his eyebrows still furrowed slightly, and he appeared to be very uncomfortable.
For some unknown reason this time, he didn’t have those messy dreams anymore. Perhaps it was because he was still burdened with such a heavy person that he didn’t get far from reality.
After sleeping again for a while, he vaguely felt the weight of the pressure was gone, and his hot forehead was pressed on something once more. It was just that the feeling was different from someone’s back, and needed to be cooler…
The side effects were said to last eight hours, but in reality, they would gradually improve after four.
After the effects were reduced a bit, it wouldn’t be anything difficult for Chu Si anymore.
He felt that the latter half of his sleep could even be considered stable and comfortable, and if not disturbed, he could’ve slept for a long time. Unfortunately, this rare sense of security did not last long, and was broken by a sharp scream.
The side effects had largely passed, and this time Chu Si almost immediately opened his eyes.
In the extremely short moment when he focused his eyes, he saw a shadow flickering by that seemed to be Sa’e Yang’s retracting hand. However, before he could react, Sa’e Yang had already passed by him and jumped out of the bed, opening the door and walking out.
Chu Si was stunned for less than a second, then quickly rolled over and got out of bed.
The scream was so tragic and harsh that it pierced through the eardrums, waking up not only the two of them, but also the other people in the house. They rolled out of bed and crawled straight toward the source of the sound with their sleep-swept hair. It was not easy to achieve such a thing in a place like this with good sound insulation.
“I didn’t see you scream so miserably when I dismantled you into eight pieces.”
As Chu Si followed him into the surveillance room, he heard Sa’e laugh coldly and say this line.
His gaze landed on the core disk of the SkyEye in the central port. As expected, the extremely mournful scream was emitted from the audio output port in the surveillance room, and the only one who could operate it when no one was around was the SkyEye.
“Did you take drugs and go crazy?” Chu Si asked, pinching between his eyes.
Clang—
The small door leading to the courtyard in the surveillance room was also knocked open. Tang and everyone else rushed in, fast as phantoms, and only when he grabbed the corner of the console did they brake. “What’s the situation, why does it sound like someone being killed??! Who screamed?”
Chu Si raised his chin towards SkyEye: “Here.”
Everyone was there, and the screams finally stopped.
Ding—
SkyEye calmly said, “I’m not crazy, just following instructions.”
After it spoke, it played a recording: “If you talk too much, I’ll dismantle you. I’m a little tired, I’ll close my eyes and rest for a while. You monitor and keep an eye on things, if there’s a problem sound the alarm, the louder the better.”
Everyone silently turned to look at Chu Si.
Chu Si: “…That’s right, I said that. I just asked you to sound the alarm, did I make you scream?”
Ding—
“Not accepting any unreasonable accusations. An emergency report indicates that there is an unidentified group approaching here, with an estimated number of over a hundred and an estimated collision time of three hours… no, one minute.”
Oh oh, is it people? I wonder if they’re friend or foe!
How dare SkyEye interrupt cute sleepy time >:(
Lmaoooo skyeye is killing me. Causally like “oh 100 ppl are coming, you have three hours to… wait, jk, you got 60 seconds. Good luck bish.”
