The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

Jin Jisi, who had been working overtime in the workshop for a few days, came to visit and brought You Mu two pieces of news.

The good news is that through the two chips, she extracted the spectrum that had been sending instructions to You Mu continuously, and reversely deduced the source of the information.

In a certain area of ​​the empire, Jin Jisi did not understand the geographical features of the empire, so she gave the information to Huo Qi.

This is indeed an important piece of information. Through this, Huo Qi can directly lock onto the hiding places of those imperial people, and follow the flow of signals to estimate the approximate locations of more people controlled in this way within the federation, so as to achieve the purpose of notifying various state borders to defend against traitors in advance.

But the bad news is that because the chip has been away from the human body for too long, the simulated heartbeat and body temperature cannot accurately sense changes in the human body. They are detected by the defense system inside the chip and the chip explodes.

The extent of the explosion was not high, Jinjisi was not harmed, and the damage in the workshop was not much, but the premature self-destruction mode was bound to alarm those people.

Perhaps, this change will cause the imperial people's plans to be advanced or delayed.

The conclusion brought by the bad news is that Huo Qi must return to the Federation as soon as possible. He also uses his own authority to provide resources and environment for Jin Jisi, and in a limited time, he rushes to produce a device capable of detecting such chips to investigate and maintain the security of the Federation.

The root of Jinji's urgency was that she wanted to save her fellow federal compatriots who, like Youmu, were forced to surrender in order to survive. She envisioned increasing the difficulty of the detection device, and based on the chip's manufacturing concept, reversely deduced and produced a similar shielding device to avoid alerting the enemy.

As long as the federals are still unaware that their tricks have been discovered, these bound compatriots may still be able to survive under surveillance and escape the fate of dying as spies.

Time was running out, so Huo Qi didn't say much. After communicating with Governor Huo, he set a date for his return.

The return date is like an invisible shackle that frames time. When you press the timer, the time in the stopwatch will pass without stopping.

Huo Qi was very uncomfortable with the countdown to the separation. This feeling was like the restlessness he felt when he was a rebellious teenager and refused to obey orders to go to military school. It was also like the reluctance to part with him when he was in school and was forced to go home by his father during holidays.

After all, what he cared about was not the location, but whether You Mu was by his side.

But there is no way this time. Compared with the undercurrents in the Federation, the seemingly chaotic Tumi City is actually a relatively stable place to live.

You Mu needs to recuperate and take time to recover.

"Is it hot?" Huo Qi took a hot towel and wiped You Mu's wrist.

The wrist was wetted by warm water, and the delicate skin was reddish under the heat. The man sitting on the mattress shook his head, and the collar of his loose shirt swung more. On the left side of his chest was the gauze and bandage that Huo Qi had just changed.

The wound had just scabbed over, and the new scab needed careful care. For fear that the moisture in the bathroom would infiltrate it and affect the healing of the wound, Huo Qi did not dare to take You Mu to the bathtub to wash it. He only added warm water and helped wipe and change the dressing.

The window was open, and a slight breeze blew through the gauze curtains, dissipating some of the heat from the towel.

The water drops from the towel flowed down the arm and landed on the waist and abdomen. The feeling of the skin being wetted by the warm water spread from the wrist to the ankle.

You Mu leaned back, raised his calf following the other person's movements, and looked at the fingers pinching his calf flesh through a layer of towel.

"Ding-ling, clang." The free foot picked up a discarded chain on one side, causing the overlapping iron rings to collide continuously, making a crisp sound like a bell.

Bored, the person opposite him was too serious, and the deliberate noise failed to attract anything. You Mu blinked and pressed his ankle to one side.

"... Stop making trouble." Huo Qi was extremely rational at the moment. He covered You Mu's exposed legs with the quilt, and stood up to pour out the used water.

"..."

You Mu lowered his eyes and reached out to throw the quilt off his legs.

The sun shone brightly in the room. Today was a good day with the fog clearing away. The bird cage was covered with a layer of gauze, and through the gauze, the soft warm light sprinkled on You Mu's side.

The vision of both eyes is slowly recovering. The left eye that underwent surgery is afraid of light, but sunbathing is essential for physical conditioning, so Ula suggested adding some screens in the room to filter out the overly glaring light.

Huo Qi followed the doctor's advice and added a gauze curtain to the bird cage. The original iron cage was covered with a layer of soft cloth, as if it was used to raise some precious and delicate birds.

Of course, in Huo Qi's eyes, this is indeed the case.

You Mu tilted his head to face the light, looking at the hazy glow in his sight, and the mottled light and shadow cast between his legs by the texture of the gauze curtain through the sunlight.

The bandage in front of his left eye was removed, and the wound under his eyelid healed fairly well, but his vision was recovering much more slowly. The vision of his left and right eyes was inconsistent, and the visual effect was somewhat distorted and hazy.

But You Mu liked it very much. These blurred images all revealed a sense of freedom to him.

Turning his head, he even wanted to push aside the light-blocking gauze curtain and take a look at the bright blue sky outside the window.

But his vision was blocked by a hand, and even his wrist was pulled back.

"Don't look at it. Your eyes haven't healed yet. You have to take care of them." Huo Qi returned in time to stop You Mu, the patient, from behaving disobediently.

Turning his head, You Mu raised his head and hugged her neck.

A very natural kiss, leaning forward and lowering the head, and the overlapping figures snuggling inside the gauze curtain.

The leisurely afternoon was mixed with the chirping of birds. This was the last bit of leisure time for Huo Qi before he left.

Different from the previous violent movements caused by anger, ever since You Mu had recovered from his injury, Huo Qi's movements had always been cautious and gentle, for fear that if he used too much force he would hurt him.

It made him look like a fragile rag doll.

In fact, compared to such cautious behavior, You Mu was accustomed to the other party's somewhat reckless spirit.

"You can be... a little more aggressive." You Mu kindly suggested.

The pair of eyes, which had appeared different colors due to different recovery speeds, regained some of their spirit, and they looked at themselves with slightly raised eyelashes... His throat rolled rapidly, and the impulse in his bones wanted to break through the soil of reason and occupy the high ground.

Of course Huo Qi wanted to, but... he couldn't.

Covering You Mu's eyes with his hands, Huo Qi pressed him into the quilt, covering him tightly.

"...Don't tease me, Amu, it's more important to recover from your injuries."

Huo Qi got up hurriedly and planned to go to the bathroom again.

"return."

You Mu pulled the man back. Due to the friction of the fabric, the only shirt on his body was almost invisible.

"Just be careful, it's okay."

There was no freedom or privacy in the Federation, and he couldn't let those who were watching him see this. If he could avoid it, he would deliberately avoid it, even if it was brought out by alcohol at some cocktail parties, he would just endure it.

Now that he was free from all restraints and shared the same bed with Huo Qi every day, a lot of thoughts came to his mind.

Unfortunately, this person has changed, and has lost his previous temper. At most, he only touched it twice, and was afraid of touching the wound and interfering with the healing process.

…He shouldn’t have explained it so clearly before.

Having said that, it seems that if I continue to refuse, I would be unmanly.

Huo Qi's mind exploded for a moment, staring at the wrist that was pulled by his sleeve, and with blood rushing to his head, he pulled the person up and was about to take him to the bathroom.

When he carried the person to sit on the sink, his eyes fell on the bandage on You Mu's chest. Huo Qi suddenly woke up and reason took over again.

Under You Mu's expectant eyes, the man unbuttoned his coat and put it on him, and finally just squatted down and protected his knees...

“…” My appetite was whetted, but in the end only the appetizers were served.

You Mu pursed his lips, pulled the corner of his clothes, and kicked the other person.

...Forget it, something is better than nothing.
