Chapter 3094: After Divorce, Forced to Compete with My Ex-Husband 24

In the afternoon, the Eldest Imperial Prince's team took the Star Core and left Bert Comet.

Before leaving, the Vice Dean of the Research Institute gave Yun Wu a few extra glances, asked him for a copy of the anti-sugar vegetation cultivation report, and said he would study it thoroughly upon returning.

After seeing off the imperial forces, the squad decided to rest for the night and set out early the next morning for the next planet.

The livestream was temporarily shut down in the evening, the screen went dark, but discussion of the show on Star Net remained just as heated.

The most discussed topic remained the relationship between Jin Chen and Chenshu.

Netizens combed through public data and found that Jin Chen's secrecy was actually less than Chenshu's—aside from his basic work history and a few game-related interview reports, almost no personal private information could be found. Only on his Star Net account were there posts where he argued with players who couldn't clear the game. This only sparked even more curiosity.

Evening.

Chenshu walked in with afternoon tea, while Jin Chen sat on the bed with a data tablet on his lap, the screen filled with lines of dense code.

He frowned slightly, his finger occasionally sliding across the screen to tweak a few parameters before continuing to read.

Chenshu didn't disturb him, sat down on the bed, cut a small piece of cheesecake with a fork and brought it to Jin Chen's lips. Jin Chen opened his mouth, ate it, chewed a few times and swallowed, his eyes still glued to the screen as he continued to ponder.

Chenshu lowered his gaze to look at Jin Chen, turned the fork once on his fingertip, then put it back on the plate. Unconsciously he lifted his hand to touch his own neck, fingertips lightly rubbing that patch of skin—the marks had mostly faded, leaving only a faint trace, yet each time he touched that spot he could vividly recall the details of that night.

These past few days, Chi Mu has been intentionally or unintentionally getting close to Jin Chen.

Sometimes it was sitting beside him at meals, sometimes it was bringing problems to ask him about game design.

Those actions weren't over the top, but they made Chenshu feel waves of physical nausea, wanting to tear that person away from Jin Chen.

But Yun Wu said they had to wait for the potion he gave Chi Mu to take effect before acting, so he could only painfully suppress those surging thoughts, pressing them deep into his chest until his ribs ached.

Now the room held only the two of them, the Star Core matter settled, and the emotions he had repressed for days began to surge uncontrollably, like a tide repeatedly compacted that finally found a crack to seep out.

His troubled mind was at work; Chenshu didn't want Jin Chen to divide his attention even to those lines of code at this moment.

He lowered his gaze to look at the remaining half of the cake on the plate, dipped a finger in the cheese cream, and smeared it on his lower lip and the corner of his mouth.

Chenshu turned his body and leaned in close to Jin Chen's face.

"Bao Bao..."

Jin Chen glanced at him sideways, slightly tilting his head to return the kiss.

The cake's salty fragrance and the cheese's richness melted between their lips and teeth.

The overwhelming desire that rose both physically and psychologically made Chenshu overlook the potential danger of Chi Mu still present in the base; at that moment his world contained only the person before him, only the warmth and sensation of their intertwined lips, even pain becoming a catalyst for desire that burned in his veins, consuming his reason entirely.

He longed to be pierced to the very depths, to be choked at the neck and embraced without restraint, every inch of flesh, to be bitten deep enough to leave tooth marks, to leave on his body marks that belonged to him alone, proving he was exclusively his.

Not like before, when it was too light and the marks would fade quickly; if we merge as one, we wouldn't have to endure the pain of separation, nor suffer the torment that blurs flesh and blood.

Longing and love fed each other, in this kiss like two snakes entwined, impossible to tell who was leading whom.

Jin Chen had been kissed by him for a while, noticing Chenshu's brows and eyes entwined with a sexy, dazed haze, as if part of his consciousness had already sunk into another world.

Jin Chen curled his fingers, his knuckles casually brushing Chenshu's cheekbone, gave a tender kiss to his slightly trembling lips, voice softening: "Where's the medicine?"

Chenshu shook his head, almost stubbornly saying, "Don't take the medicine."

He called out Bao Bao, called out Jin Chen's name, his lips twisted in a dazed, blissful smile as he said he wanted to kiss.

It seemed that if he kept repeating this action, he could press down all that surging darkness.

Seeing his state, Jin Chen soothingly kissed Chenshu, wrapped an arm around his waist and gently rubbed his back muscles, trying to pull him back a little from the abyss he was falling into through comfort.

"Chenshu, were you affected by radiation when you delivered the Star Core?"

Chenshu looked at him, as if trying to understand the question, but his focus flickered and scattered; he only lowered his head to kiss, brushing his lips against Jin Chen's lips and jaw.

A good while passed.

Chenshu grew a bit clearer from Jin Chen's soothing; the surging darkness no longer rushed in like before to engulf his consciousness.

He tenderly lowered his head to kiss Jin Chen, but after a while Chenshu still couldn't help pressing him against his chest, "Bite harder..."

His body, forged in battle, was too perfect—even his pectoral muscles were just the right amount of supple.

Jin Chen enjoyed it for a while, but when Chenshu slightly lifted his chest to meet his movement, he suddenly loosened his grip.

He lifted his head, cradling Chenshu's face as a soft involuntary sigh escaped, his thumb brushing the latter's slightly damp lip corner, "Can you tell me another secret today?"

Chenshu's gaze was still somewhat unfocused, his Adam's apple bobbing as he asked in a hoarse voice, "What secret does Xiao Chen want to know?"

Jin Chen rubbed his nose against Chenshu's, acting coy as he nuzzled in his embrace, then covered him in kisses until Chenshu's breathing grew uneven and his body went limp, only then lifting his head to lick his lips contentedly.

"I made a set of portable holographic helmets upstairs."

"Honey, I want to see what you were doing on the day I had my accident."

He was now quite certain that Chi Mu was also secretly behind that incident.
