The Dormitory’s Unlucky Soul Transmigrates into the Zerg World - Chapter 9

“Yi Xuan, hurry and open the door! Your brother has arrived!”

The door was being pounded loudly, and even Yi Xuan, who was lying in bed with his door open upstairs, could hear the ruckus.

Yi Xuan rubbed his throbbing temples and hurriedly asked Dingdang to go downstairs and open the door.

“Stop knocking! I have already sent someone to open the door for you. You are about to shatter it.”

“If the door breaks, you are paying for the repairs.”

Yi Xuan got up helplessly and shouted a few words toward downstairs.

Once he finished speaking, the downstairs quieted down, but a few seconds later, the sound of rapid footsteps running up the stairs echoed through the house.

“Don’t run so fast! It is dangerous if you trip while climbing the stairs.”

Before he could finish his sentence, he was tackled by someone, and he had to take two or three steps back to stabilize himself.

“You really are something.” Yi Xuan rubbed the male Zerg’s chestnut-colored curly hair with a mixture of helplessness and affection.

“Hehe, Yi Xuan, did you miss your brother? We have not seen each other for days, and I missed you so much!” Mo Er wrapped his arms around Yi Xuan’s waist, refusing to let go, and nudged his head against Yi Xuan’s chin.

“Alright, alright. Is it really as serious as you say?”

“Didn’t you come to visit me when I was hospitalized just two days ago?” Yi Xuan tried to pull the male Zerg off him, but… he would not budge.

“How does that count? How long did I get to stay? You just do not love me anymore and did not miss me. As expected, a male Zerg’s mouth is full of empty promises.”

Yi Xuan: …

Am I a scumbag again?

“Sorry, I have never loved you. Just give up.” Yi Xuan maintained a cold expression.

“Wow! Such a heartless male Zerg. Can you really not soften your heart when facing such a cute and imposing male Zerg like me?” Mo Er feigned a heartbroken look.

“Not at all. My heart is colder than the ten years I spent killing alien races on Nanxing,” Yi Xuan said with a smile while pinching Mo Er’s cheek.

“Hmph, you stinky male Zerg! You do not love me yet you keep touching me. Go away, you big jerk.”

With that, Mo Er pulled away from Yi Xuan’s embrace and walked a few steps, diving face-first into Yi Xuan’s large bed.

“Hurry up and change your clothes. I will wait for you right here.”

Mo Er buried his face in Yi Xuan’s quilt and waved at him, acting as if he were the master of the house.

“You really do not treat yourself as an outsider, do you? You are not going to leave even while I change clothes?”

Yi Xuan looked at the little guy rolling around on the bed with amusement, finding it quite interesting.

“Not leaving, not leaving! You go change in the walk-in closet; just let me lie on your bed for a while.”

“I should clarify first: I am not into male-on-male relationships,” Yi Xuan teased him on purpose.

“Go, go, go! Who said anything about that? Who? I like delicate and gentle sub-males!” Mo Er rolled over and sat up, his cheeks puffed up, looking at Yi Xuan with a doll-like face full of indignation.

“Pfft, hahaha! I was just teasing you. I am going to change now.”

“You big stinky bug!”

…

“Yi Xuan, do I look good in this?” Mo Er frowned, turning left and right in front of the mirror, and then asked Yi Xuan, who was sitting behind him looking at his terminal.

“I do not think it suits you. The sleeves and hem are a bit long, and it is too mature; it does not match your style.”

When Yi Xuan looked up, he had already set down the terminal. Upon hearing Mo Er’s question, he looked him over carefully from head to toe before giving his answer.

“I think so too. I feel like I cannot wear this; it is too mature. But it should suit you. Yi Xuan, do you want to try it on?” Mo Er walked into the fitting room, intending to take off the ill-fitting clothes.

“No, you try it. I am not interested in this.”

“Don’t be like that! We are already out shopping, so you have to buy something too. If nothing else, today’s expenses are on me, Young Master Mo.” Mo Er puffed out his chest and spoke with an air of dominance.

“Oh, give it a rest. It is the end of the month already; is your allowance still enough?”

“Of course it is enough! Didn’t I start taking over some family business last month? I got a raise in my allowance this month!”

“Spend as boldly as you want today! Even if you want to go to the auction house, the star coins I brought are enough for you to squander!”

“I will keep you as my partner in the future.” As Mo Er said this, he stopped changing and leaned right next to Yi Xuan, smiling with exceptional arrogance.

“Wow! Heavens, then I must thank you, my dear patron.” Yi Xuan smiled gently.

“Hey, hey, hey! That is too foul. Why must you, a male Zerg, be so good-looking?”

“Why do you not stop living with those female Zergs and just be with me instead?” Mo Er clutched his chest as if he were truly charmed.

“Brother will spoil you!”

“Go change your clothes.” Yi Xuan, somewhat helplessly, manually moved the Zerg in another direction and gave him a light nudge.

Yi Xuan had changed his clothes and was immediately brought out by Mo Er. Since they left early, it was only dinnertime after they had been shopping for half the day.

“Yi Xuan, how about we go to that restaurant on the fourth floor we visited last time?”

“Their food is quite good.”

Mo Er walked in front, but when he looked back, he saw Yi Xuan standing still in his tracks: “?”

“What are you looking at? You look so distracted. Did you hear what I just said?” Mo Er scratched his head, hurried back a few steps, and looked in the direction of Yi Xuan’s gaze, but he could not see anything.

“Nothing. I just saw an acquaintance. What did you say just now? Say it again.”

Yi Xuan narrowed his eyes, pulling his gaze back from the familiar silhouette in the distance, and said as if nothing had happened.

“Hm? An acquaintance? Do you want to call him over to join us?” Mo Er asked.

“No need.”

“Oh… then shall we go to the fourth floor?”

“Let’s go. It is not like I can refuse you when you want to go,” Yi Xuan said with a smile.

“Of course you have to accompany me! Let’s go!”

The shopping mall they came to was the largest luxury shopping center on the main star, the Mingxing Building. Just by the name, one knew it was a bustling place. At night, the outdoor lights, combined with the fireworks blooming in the sky, easily attracted the attention of passing Zergs.

“Do you not like watching those fireworks outside? Do you want to go to the upper floor to watch them later?”

Mingxing knew well how to attract Zergs, so they had set up a large, suspended viewing point on the twelfth floor, originally intended for Zergs to relax and stroll around.

“Let’s go. Why would we not?” Mo Er nodded.

“Hahaha, we are already here, right?” Yi Xuan asked with a smile.

“That is right, we are already here.”

“Yi Xuan, try this. This meat is so tender. I do not know what kind of meat it is, but it is quite delicious.” Mo Er picked up a piece of meat from the bowl beside him and put it in Yi Xuan’s plate.

“Hm… the taste is indeed good.” Yi Xuan said after tasting it.

“I remember that when I checked, it said it was bull beast meat. If you like it, you can ask Yarman to learn how to cook it for you.”

Yi Xuan pointed to the female Zerg sitting beside Mo Er, the one who had been following and protecting him since that afternoon.

This was the female attendant he had married two years ago, but it was said that his mother had chosen him for him at the time. Mo Er did not seem to have much feeling for him, and even now, he remained distant and rarely brought him along when he went out.

“We will see.” Upon hearing Yi Xuan’s words, Mo Er hesitated for a rare moment and replied faintly.

Yi Xuan looked at him with some surprise and then looked at the Zerg beside him without changing his expression.

Something was wrong. This was very wrong. There was a story between these two!

Just as Yi Xuan began to habitually let his mind wander, he was brought back by Mo Er.

“Yi Xuan, the future heir of the Trivekang family is holding an adulthood banquet in two days. Are you going?” Mo Er was clearly trying to shift Yi Xuan’s attention away from him and Yarman; the excuse for changing the subject was a bit abrupt.

“But I do not have much connection with that Zerg.”

Although the excuse was weak, it succeeded; Yi Xuan’s focus shifted away from the previous topic.

“But you are the designated heir of the Alfred family, so it would not be good if you did not go,” Mo Er said, propping his chin on his hand and frowning again.

“My father told me about this today. I originally wanted to refuse, as you know, I have not gotten along with that Trivekang male Zerg since we were young, and I do not want to attend his adulthood banquet at all. But my father insisted that I go. He said, ‘If you do not get along with him, just ignore him; you can talk to other male heirs; they might cooperate with our family in the future.'”

“Sigh… you know me. I have always hated this kind of socialization in high society. So, Yi Xuan, are you going? If you go, I will go with you. If you do not go… wait, how can you not go? Do you really have the heart to let poor little me face those hypocritical faces all by myself?”

With that, Mo Er put down his fork and looked at Yi Xuan with wide, pleading eyes, as if he would start crying if Yi Xuan did not agree.

Yi Xuan: …

I thought you were going to say that if I did not go, you would be brave enough to skip it too.

He rubbed his temples in frustration and tapped his fingers on the table. Regarding this matter, his father had mentioned it to him at the old estate two days ago.

However, in the original novel’s plot, this banquet was an important plot point; it was supposed to be the first meeting between the two main characters.

Yes, although the previous plot had arranged for him to date Mislert Nareid, they did not meet for the first time then, but at the banquet the day before the date. In the original plot, the two of them became acquainted because one helped the other out of a predicament, and this also laid the groundwork for their date the next day.

It was quite a clichéd plot trope.

“Oh my, Yi Xuan, what are you considering? Does it take this long to decide on one word? Answer me quickly! Go! You are not allowed not to accompany me!”

Seeing Yi Xuan still wearing an “I am thinking, do not rush me” expression, Mo Er became anxious. Usually, if Yi Xuan contemplated something for a long time without making a decision, it probably would not happen; after all, he was always decisive. For him to hesitate for so long meant the matter was likely troublesome.

Mo Er gritted his teeth, stood up, and sat beside Yi Xuan, hugging his arm and resorting to acting like a rascal: “Yi Xuan, just accompany me, accompany me, go, will you?”

With his slightly curly short hair and his pathetic doll-like face, Yi Xuan really could not handle such pestering from Mo Er. Unable to refuse him, he had to mumble his agreement.

There was simply no way out of it. After all, Yi Xuan was the type of person whose heart softened whenever he saw a cute person acting spoiled.
