Deliberate Mark

and loving nebulae, passing planets large and small, fulfilling his destiny in a regular manner.
There was no way to tell day from night, only the boundless vastness of the universe.
It was a good part of the next day before Ye Fei’s eyes slowly opened with a splitting headache.

The film of memory felt like a cut had been made, and when he recalled it again, it became a big blank.
He looked around and fumbled to turn on the bedside lamp.
The blinding light came on suddenly, and it took a moment of slight squinting to adjust to it before it eased slightly.

Bai SiNing lay on all fours on the stool next to him, staring wide-eyed at him, “God Ye, you’re awake?”

“Mn, wake up.” Ye Fei opened her mouth and found it dry.

“It’s been two days and you finally woke up and scared the hell out of me.” Bai SiNing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
He poured a glass of water over, “Drink some water, I’ll tell them to bring you food.”

Bai SiNing finished in a hurry and rushed out again, like a gust of wind.
From the doorway came his high pitched roar, “God Ye’s awake, come on over here everyone.”

Ye Fei rubbed his brow.
Two days, he had slept for two whole days? He was well aware of his physical condition, even the time he was seriously injured, he woke up the next day.
Besides, he clearly remembered them drinking at the castle and a group of people laughing and joking around at the table.

He didn’t know what happened back there, but how did he get to the ship? He glanced to the side where Gu Ang lay quietly in the next bed, sleeping peacefully.
It was all just too weird, and he’d never been broken like this by drinking.
He sat up and leaned over the bed, trying to remember the missing pieces in between.

But the memories were muddled, like a long dream.
In between, off and on, he seemed to kiss Gu Ang and mark him.
Flushed faces, messy clothes, frayed sheets flashed through the mind like pieces.
Each clip was only a few seconds of memory, indistinguishable from the truth in a darkness.
Such dreams he had had, too, wanting him too much because he liked him too much.

Ye Fei lowered his eyes to settle, pulling his attention back to what should have been a dream.
He lifted the covers off the bed and went to the side to look at Gu Ang, breathing steadily and dead asleep.
Forget it, let him sleep a little longer.

Ye Fei was sitting on the bed in a daze when the door was suddenly opened again and a large group of people came in.

Shen Fei Zhou stood at the forefront and looked at him, his tone normal, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

“No.” Ye Fei looked up at him, “It’s just that… it’s kind of hard to remember what happened two days ago.”

“Then you’re in pretty good health, you’ve woken up in just under two days.” Shen Fei Zhou smiled, “Eat something first.”

Ye Fei took the porridge Bai SiNing handed over and looked at Shen Fei Zhou again, “It seems like you know what happened, tell me about it.”

Shen Fei Zhou repeatedly thought about it within these two days, and finally rounded up a front that couldn’t be seen as a problem.
He cleared his throat, feigning a serious face of dignity.
“It so happens that we were all here, so I would tell you all together.
My adjutant, Ma Chie, was a spy sent by the Federation and was privately shot by me two nights ago.”

“What? That motherfucking spy was him?” Wei YangZe was indignant, “So he’s the one who sold our tracks to the Federation? No wonder they knew all the various routes along the way, that’s why! Good job on killing him, Lieutenant General.”

Shen Fei Zhou hmmed and lowered his voice, “Keep this matter quiet, just dispose of it privately.”

Bai SiNing took a break from this amount of information and asked the question that’s been bothering him for days, “So Brother Ang and God Ye were in a coma because of him too?”

“Yes, Ma Chie did put the two of them under a stupefying agent, and was about to kidnap them and hand them over to the Federation, but I stopped them.” Shen Fei Zhou stated with a serious face, sounding particularly reliable.

And, along the way, presented a slightly more optimized image of the tall, magnificent savior.

Lin XiuYong, however, felt that something was wrong, and according to his tip, the trip was exposed from Lu ChangBai’s side.

What was the connection with this Ma Chie? Was it possible that he was on the inside?

He spoke hesitantly, “Lieutenant General, if you take care of Ma Chie alone, aren’t you afraid that the people behind him would come out and stir things up?”

Shen Fei Zhou raised his eyebrows, “Not dealing with it, waiting for him to do it on the way back? In case something happens to the ship, we’ll all have to scramble about then.”

Ye Fei listened to the entire vein and was suspicious, “So how did he put us in a coma that night?”

“Drugging the glass.”

“So why not just put everyone in a coma and deal with it better?”

“He was short-handed, and you two were more expensive and easier to sell for money.”

“Fuck, think we’re cheap?” Wei YangZe rubbed a handful of hair, “The old man wasn’t cool.”

Shen Fei Zhou smiled faintly, “What? You also want to be unconscious for two or three days? Even an Alpha as physically fit as Gu Ang hasn’t woken up yet.”

He looked calm, one man to many, and kept it under wraps.

Ye Fei’s heart sank, and just now Shen Fei Zhou’s words reminded him.
Gu Ang injured himself and was in heat, would this medicine have any side effects? He could lose his memory, Gu Ang wouldn’t even know who he was when he wakes up, right?

Ye Fei’s heart was beating like a drumstick, “Your medic didn’t come along?”

“The rescue of you was a temporary operation with a lean staff.
Don’t worry, Gu Ang won’t be in serious trouble.” Shen Fei Zhou crossed his eyes again, “I’m no less worried about him than you are.”

Ye Fei pondered for a moment and loosened that worried heart, “Alright, you guys don’t need to look after me anymore, all withdraw and go back to rest.”

“Gu Ang needs to rest.
Since you’re awake, go and sleep in the next room.” Shen Fei Zhou was anxious to brush people off.

Ye Fei gave a light laugh and politely declined, “I’ve been sleeping for two days, I’m in exceptionally good spirits now, I’ll keep watch over Gu Ang.”

The two men locked eyes, neither a good fighter.
Bai SiNing smelled a hint of gunpowder and silently moved back two steps.
This pair of lovers choked and collectively all went silent.

Shen Fei Zhou broke down and sat down on the small couch next to her, “Then I’m not leaving either.”

Ye Fei choked, “…Suit yourself.”

“Then let’s… let’s pull out.” Wei YangZe slipped away faster than anyone else.

A crowd came and went in a rowdy fashion.
The room left Ye Fei and Shen Fei Zhou staring at each other, neither wanting to pay attention to the other.

Ye Fei finally spoke, “You’re not spending the night here, are you?”

“I’m not sleepy, I’m not sleeping.” Shen Fei Zhou said through gritted teeth.

Damn, sleeping with someone I like and coming to flaunt it with me.
I just won’t tell you, and bring this secret to my grave

Ye Fei shrugged his shoulders, “Fine, I’m fine with it.
The person Gu Ang will want to see when he wakes up is definitely me anyway.”

Shen Fei Zhou snorted coldly, “Why are you so childish?”

“You’re not naive either.” Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, “If you’re confident in yourself, it’s not so bad as waking up to the first side.”

Shen Fei Zhou looked away from the cabin, “You mind me, I’m happy.”

Ye Fei didn’t want to say another word to him and snapped his hand up to turn off the light.

“Sorry, I’m a little dizzy and I’m going to take a nap, make yourself comfortable.”

Shen Fei Zhou snickered, “Boring.”

Ye Fei didn’t know why he became so childish as soon as he ran into this man, like two school children fighting and arguing.
Even though he knew Gu Ang’s heart was on his side, he just didn’t want to make it easy for him.

He wanted to wait, right? Then let’s turn off the lights and wait.
Out of sight, out of mind.
The room fell into silence, and Ye Fei stared into the darkened room with open eyes, like a bottomless black hole.

When Gu Ang would wake up, none of them knew.

Ye Fei ran through what was left of his memory, still feeling that the entire thing was too haphazardly handled with only Ma Chie.

When he returned to the Imperial Star, he would have to find out what that guy Lu ChangBai had been doing behind the scenes.
After a few more hours, there was a slight rattling from the next bed and Gu Ang coughed twice.

Ye Fei raised his hand to turn on the light, rolled onto his back, and walked quickly to the bed.

Gu Ang’s face was red from coughing and he blinked before slowly opening his eyes.

Shen Fei Zhou also rushed over with an arrow step and leaned down to ask him, “Gu Ang, are you okay?”

“Who are you?” Gu Ang glanced at him with a frown.

Shen Fei Zhou froze, “????”

He never expected Gu Ang’s first words when he woke up to be so piercing.

How come he didn’t even recognize me when he was only supposed to have lost his memories? Damn Ma Chie, should’ve made sure to give him two more shots.

Ye Fei’s heart also constricted abruptly, and it took him a long time to find his voice, “Gu Ang, you…”

Gu Ang looked at him and muttered, “Big brother, why do you look so scruffy with your stubble coming out?”

Ye Fei a heart dropped back into place, not forgetting him as it were.
He rubbed his chin before speaking slowly, “I was worried about you, you were asleep for a long time.”

Shen Fei Zhou unbelievable, put his face up again, “No, I’m Shen Fei Zhou.
Don’t you remember me? I-I-I… I fell in love with you at first sight?”

Gu Ang looked at him blankly for a long moment before nodding slowly, “Seems like it, sort of impressive.”

Shen Fei Zhou petrified, why was Ye Fei called ‘big brother”, while he was only a little bit impressive? “Can you still remember what happened before? I went to the Ice Blue Planet to save you, and I saved you this time when you were in a coma.”

Shen Fei Zhou hurriedly added a crazy halo to himself, Laozi was your life saver.

“You saved me, thanks.” Gu Ang rubbed his temples, memories of his last life mixed with this one, and he couldn’t tell which was real and which wasn’t.

The man in front of him was supposed to be his superior in the last life, but now, had they met? Gu Ang was afraid to reveal the fact that he had transmigrated and had to play dumb.
But this bewildered expression fell into Shen Fei Zhou’s eyes, and his heart ached until he couldn’t breathe.

Gu Ang, surprisingly, forgot about him.
What was the point of putting down an induction agent, he didn’t get the person, and the memories were washed away.

Gu Ang was afraid of saying too many wrong words and opened his mouth to drive him away, “Don’t pose in my room, go away.
Ye Fei can accompany me.”

Shen Fei Zhou fell into silence again, “……”

Ye Fei leaned against the bed and spoke up helpfully, “He’s awake too, you can go now.”

“Okay, I’ll go, and I’ll see you tomorrow.” Shen Fei Zhou rubbed his neat hair into a mess, full of irritation trying to find a place to vent.
When he saw Gu Ang’s cold face, he finally softened his attitude, turned his head and stepped out and took the door with him.

Ye Fei sat on the edge of his bed, poured him a glass of water and handed it over, “You’ve lost your memory?”

Gu Ang nodded and shook his head, “Just couldn’t quite remember what happened recently.
What happened to me?”

Ye Fei repeated that rhetoric from Shen Fei Zhou, then asked, “You don’t remember anything from the last two days?”

“Don’t remember.” Gu Ang struggled to remember, feeling his brain ache.

“Forget it, if you can’t think of it, don’t think of it.” Ye Fei reached up and smoothed his furrowed brow.
He thought to himself that if they both hit coma at the same time, Gu Ang being an injured and in-heat Omega, the aftermath might be a bit worse than his.

Gu Ang leaned back against the bed and thought for a moment before laughing again, “We’re both so good that we could still fall for this little trick.”

“They were all familiar people, so they let their guard down.” Ye Fei reassured, “Luckily nothing serious happened.”

Gu Ang raised the corner of his mouth a little, “What’s the consequence, selling us both for money? We should still be worth a lot of money, they would’ve made a profit.”

Ye Fei laughed back, “When we’d wake up, we’d more than likely violently tear down their prison.”

The two looked at each other and laughed for a while, neither of them able to break the ambiguity-tinged atmosphere.
Ye Fei felt that something should be done.
His mind flashed back to those snippets of dreams and he asked Gu Ang again, “So do you remember when I said I was going to chase you?”

“Like there’s such a thing.” Gu Ang licked his dry lower lip and smiled awkwardly, “You didn’t tell me how you would chase me.”

“I told you, you forgot.” Ye Fei leaned down and looked straight at him, “Looks like you can’t remember, do you want me to repeat it for you?”

Gu Ang was bewildered.
Had he said that? Why did this brain of his feel inadequate now? He lifted his chin, “Repeating what?”

Ye Fei leaned a little closer to him, reaching out to squeeze the back of his erect neck and press it against himself.
He dropped his eyes and gently bit Gu Ang’s bottom lip, spitting out a few words, “Embrace you and kiss you when I catch you.”
