Chapter 60: Initiation Ceremony, a Bitter Fate
Xue Yu walked a circle in the office, went behind Zhou Siyan, and placed her two hands on the back of the leather swivel chair. Her palms moved very slowly, towards his broad, flat shoulder line.
At the same time, she observed Zhou Siyan’s expression. Seeing that he did not resist, Xue Yu continued to reach out, simply putting her hand into his back collar and touching his waist and back.
Zhou Siyan’s fingers kept tapping on the ultra-thin keyboard. His brow twitched, and he said with a sullen face, “What on earth are you looking for?”
Xue Yu’s entire arm was completely inside his collar, pressed against his spine. “Do you know why I don’t support you?”
Zhou Siyan didn’t speak.
Xue Yu patted his lower back lightly. “Because your waist is a dog’s waist. So hard, so strong. With such a hard back, where do I need to support you?”
Zhou Siyan’s sternly pursed lips finally loosened. He pulled Xue Yu’s hand out. “Stop playing. If you play anymore, I’ll have a reaction.”
“You conservatives are more dissolute than the other. The most honest and conservative one is actually me,” Xue Yu sincerely thought so.
“You, a big pervert, have the nerve to say that?” Zhou Siyan pulled her over, lifted her waist with both hands, and easily let her sit on the desk.
“Where am I a pervert? I don’t even know how those data were measured. They just put such a big blame on me. It’s simply sensational!”
Xue Yu was very unconvinced. Liking to look at handsome guys, is that considered being a pervert?
Nonsense. This is clearly being happy to discover the beauty in life. It should be praised.
“Don’t be angry. Being horny is not a derogatory term, just a description of personality. You’ve never done anything to harass others. You’re just horny. What’s wrong with that?”
He lifted Xue Yu’s calf, which was wearing low-top black combat leather boots, with one hand, took out a wet wipe, and began to wipe the bottom of the military boots.
“Being horny is the same as liking delicious food. Craving delicious food and craving handsome men are the same in nature. There’s nothing to be angry about.”
Xue Yu thought he had a point. “Yes, as expected of Director Zhou. You speak so well.”
“Step on me.”
Zhou Siyan threw the wet wipe into the trash can, pulled the chair forward a little, and let Xue Yu’s military boots press on his hard lower abdomen, and then down.
“You’re really scaring me, Zhou Siyan,” Xue Yu touched her forehead, her foot pressing on him with controlled force.
This was a game that Zhou Siyan had figured out himself when they were at the military academy.
At first, it was because the training intensity at the military academy was high, and he often had muscle soreness. He and Xue Yu had studied massage techniques and would give each other massages to relax their muscles.
At that time, Xue Yu hadn’t awakened her spirit body. Her strength was small, and her hand strength was not enough. Every time she massaged him, it was like scratching an itch through a boot.
So, Xue Yu remembered a massage therapy on Earth. There seemed to be a method called “back stepping.”
She simply tried to step on Zhou Siyan’s back to help him relax his muscles. Gradually, Zhou Siyan, being gifted, turned over and let Xue Yu step on other places. After that, the two of them played like this.
Zhou Siyan sat in the office chair, his two hands holding the armrests, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. He tilted his head back, revealing his fair and beautiful neckline. His Adam’s apple kept sliding, and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Xue Yu stepped on him intermittently, like a assembly line worker dealing with work. She said in a huff, “I should have stuck a steel wool ball on the sole of my shoe and been a rich woman for once.”
“Be careful with your strength. Don’t break it,” Zhou Siyan gasped, his two dark and sharp sword-like eyebrows knitted. He closed his eyes, in pain and enjoyment.
Xue Yu’s calf moved in a small circle, the sole of her shoe repeatedly grinding, as if she were kneading a ball of dough. No, not kneading dough, but kneading a rolling pin.
While she was busy, she sighed, “I feel that my private life and my worth are very inconsistent. Logically, only rich people can play so wildly, but I’m a poor person, and you still let me play this kind of art every day. This is too contradictory.”
“Yes, I heard you,” Zhou Siyan kept his eyes closed and simply replied with that sentence. He really didn’t have the energy to help Xue Yu analyze the philosophy of life.
“Hey, Zhou Siyan, you’re not going to be electrocuted to death, are you?” Xue Yu was very worried, and her stepping and grinding also stopped.
Zhou Siyan’s body was trembling slightly. It was clear that the chip in his body was emitting an electric current. From his reaction, the current should be very strong.
“Zhou Siyan, are you okay?”
Xue Yu panicked. Zhou Siyan can’t die. Who will take care of the child if he dies? She couldn’t be a single mother, carrying Xue Xiaohai on her back while she reclaimed the island.
Zhou Siyan’s jaw was clenched tightly. He squeezed out a few words from between his thin, red lips. “It’s okay. Continue.”
Xue Yu braced herself and continued to step.
A minute later, Zhou Siyan let out a suppressed groan and held Xue Yu’s calf to let her move her foot away.
Xue Yu was slightly stunned. “Is it over?”
“Yes,” Zhou Siyan raised a hand and covered his eyes with the back of it, his shoulders and back still leaning back into the back of the chair.
Xue Yu: “So fast.”
Didn’t it used to be an hour at least? They all say that men can only chat after they’re twenty-five, but Zhou Siyan is only twenty-three!
Zhou Siyan’s voice was hoarse. “I’ve been suppressing it for too long.”
He had recovered. He first lifted Xue Yu’s foot to check if her military boots were stained. Fortunately, the material of his uniform pants was very good, and it didn’t seep through and stain Xue Yu’s military boots.
Only then did he stand up and say, “I’m going to the bathroom. Xiaohai is in the lounge. You can go and see her.”
“Xiaohai is here? Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
Xue Yu went to open the door to the lounge, entered the password and fingerprint. Xue Xiaohai was sleeping on a foam mat covered with a small blanket. The foam mat was surrounded by a crash barrier.
When she reached Xue Xiaohai’s side, Xue Yu sat down on the foam mat, carefully picked up the child, and let her lean against her.
Xue Xiaohai’s face was round, and her little arms and legs were chubby. She even had a small gold bracelet on her wrist. She didn’t know when Zhou Siyan had gotten it.
The child moved in Xue Yu’s arms, pouted, and rubbed her eyes. She was about to cry before she even opened her eyes.
Xue Yu quickly said, “Xiaohai, it’s Mommy. Mommy is here to see you.”
Hearing her mother’s voice, Xue Xiaohai’s heavy eyelids lifted nimbly. She reached out to grab Xue Yu’s face. “Mommy, Mommy!”
“Sigh, Mommy is here. Xiaohai is so good. Mommy loves you,” Xue Yu took a tissue from the side and wiped her face, then lowered her head to kiss her.
She would kiss Xue Xiaohai once, and she would laugh. She would kiss her again, and she would laugh again.
Xue Yu started to play with the child, kissing her non-stop, making the child laugh non-stop.
Before long, Zhou Siyan returned, having changed into a new pair of pants.
Xue Yu held the child and turned her head to look at him, sharing a funny story with him with a playful smile. “Xiaohai is so fun. I kiss her, and she laughs. It’s like pressing a switch. So fun.”
Zhou Siyan knelt beside her, touched Xue Xiaohai’s chubby round face, and said, “She takes after me.”
Xue Yu looked at him. “Were you like this when you were a child?”
Zhou Siyan spoke very seriously. “I mean, when you kiss me, I also laugh.”
Xue Xiaohai rolled out of Xue Yu’s arms, crawled to grab her bottle, took a couple of sips herself, and then held it up to Xue Yu’s mouth. “Mommy, eat!”
There was only water in the bottle, no milk.
“Why aren’t you answering me?” Zhou Siyan said again.
Xue Yu didn’t understand. “Answer what?”
Zhou Siyan: “I said that when you kiss me, I also laugh. Why don’t you give me any reaction?”
“What reaction should I give you?” Xue Yu thought for a moment and patted his shoulder. “Yes, not bad. Only by learning to smile at life can you have a good future!”
She picked up Xue Xiaohai’s bottle and pointed at the world with a long face.
“How can you let the child drink only water? How can she be full from drinking water? Hurry up and mix some formula for her. Look how hungry the child is.”
“This bottle is only for her to drink water,” Zhou Siyan stood up and went to get another bottle to mix formula for the child.
When the formula was ready, Xue Xiaohai sat on her mother’s lap, holding the bottle and eating. She would even share it with Xue Yu from time to time.
Xue Yu shook her head. “No need. Xiaohai, eat it yourself. Mommy is an adult. I don’t drink milk anymore. Adults can’t drink milk.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Siyan’s cold snort followed.
Xue Yu looked at him. “What are you being sarcastic about?”
Zhou Siyan didn’t reply, just raised an eyebrow, a look of “how dare you say that” on his face.
“I!” Xue Yu couldn’t get angry after all, and she didn’t have the confidence to argue.
She could only say resentfully, “Feng Qizhou forced me. He pushed it into my mouth. What could I do? I resisted…”
“I didn’t mean anything else. I just wanted to tell you that what Feng Qizhou can do, I can do too,” Zhou Siyan said calmly.
Xue Yu lowered her head. You dare to feed me, but I don’t dare to eat. She really couldn’t stand all the men becoming her wet nurses.
No, they have to have their own styles for this life to go on.
Otherwise, if they all learn from each other and their styles become the same, there will be no novelty in the future.
Without novelty, she was worried that with her personality of falling in love 800 times a day, and it being different every time, she might bring home another pregnant man one day.
She played with Xue Xiaohai for a long time, trying to exhaust the child’s energy, in case the child would keep Zhou Siyan up at night again.
Finally, Xue Xiaohai was so tired that she didn’t even want to play anymore. She just wanted to hug a tablet and watch videos.
Only then did Xue Yu carry the child out of the lounge and to Zhou Siyan, who was working. She placed the child on the desk. “Here, she’s played enough. She doesn’t want to play anymore. She just wants to watch videos.”
Zhou Siyan wiped the child’s drool and asked Xue Yu, “Are you leaving?”
“Yes. I still have to go and see Xiaobei and Xiaonan. They are all my flesh and blood.”
Xue Yu gathered her hair, picked up the captain application materials that Zhou Siyan had prepared for her, and was about to leave.
Zhou Siyan said, “Give me a kiss before you go.”
“Oh,” Xue Yu leaned down and kissed Xue Xiaohai on the cheek. The child giggled with delight.
After the kiss, Xue Yu turned to leave.
Zhou Siyan said from behind, “Give me a kiss before you go.”
“I did,” Xue Yu turned her head and said.
Zhou Siyan: “Kiss me again.”
Xue Yu pecked at the child’s face like a chick. “Okay, that’s enough kisses. I really have to go. You should get back to work.”
Zhou Siyan repeated his previous words like a machine. “Kiss me again.”
Xue Yu had no choice but to come back. This time, she went straight to the point and kissed Zhou Siyan on the lips. “Is this what you mean?”
Zhou Siyan chuckled. “Yes. I was indeed a little hurt before, but I’m fine now.”
“Great!”
Xue Yu ran off in a flash, as wary as usual, only opening a small crack in the door to squeeze out.
As soon as she came out, she was startled by the thin, human-shaped figure outside the door. The deputy director was actually standing pressed against the door, as if he were eavesdropping.
When Xue Yu came out, the deputy director was also startled and jumped back.
“What are you doing here!” Xue Yu asked.
The deputy director’s thin eyes looked at Xue Yu sharply. “Why are you always coming to find the director?”
Xue Yu was calm and composed. She waved the documents in her hand at him. “I’m here to apply for a shipping quota from Director Zhou. What are you doing here?”
The deputy director: “I’m from the Security Division. Isn’t it normal for me to be here?”
Xue Yu didn’t waste her breath on him and strode out.
The deputy director reminded her from behind, “Xue Yu, you’re an open-minded person. You shouldn’t be too close to the conservatives. You’ll be reported.”
Xue Yu turned around with an exaggerated posture. “Thank you for your concern. I’ve also joined the conservatives now.”
The deputy director’s two thin eyebrows lowered. “What kind of cat or dog wants to join the conservatives? Yan Wantang has already brought so much bad influence to the conservatives, and now you’re here!”
“Are you anxious?” Xue Yu smiled.
“You!” the deputy director gritted his teeth.
Xue Yu gave him a comical military salute. “Deputy Director, don’t worry. After I join the conservatives, I will definitely be strict with myself and will not bring shame to the conservatives!”
With that, she quickly ran off.
When she got into the elevator, she sent a message to Zhou Siyan: The deputy director seems to be watching you. He was just eavesdropping at the door. Be careful.
Zhou Siyan: Okay. I’m paying attention to this problem.
Xue Yu went to the hospital and, with her mental retardation medical record card, successfully entered Feng Qizhou’s clinic.
Feng Qizhou had just finished surgery at this time and was not seeing patients.
Xue Yu entered the clinic, but she didn’t see him. She closed the door and then called out in a low voice, “Dr. Feng, I’m here to see a doctor. I’m here for a follow-up on my brain.”
“I’m here,” the bathroom door opened, and a faint sound of running water came out.
Xue Yu walked over and saw Feng Qizhou washing his hands at the sink. His green surgical gown was covered in blood.
“What happened to you, Feng Qizhou?” she asked worriedly.
Feng Qizhou said, “It’s not my blood. It’s the patient’s.”
“Oh, is the patient okay?”
“He’s fine. The surgery was very successful,” as he spoke, Feng Qizhou directly took off his surgical gown and went under the shower to wash himself naturally.
Xue Yu clicked her tongue twice and was about to leave. “What a disgrace to the conservatives.”
Feng Qizhou laughed from behind. “You’re not even going to watch a handsome man in the shower? You still have the nerve to say you’re a big pervert?”
“No, it’s an eyesore,” Xue Yu waved her hand. “Don’t test me anymore.”
She went to the lounge connected to the clinic. Xiaobei and Xiaonan were both awake and playing with all kinds of plush dolls. The two jellyfish had grown very large and were circling around them.
Feng Qizhou’s arctic fox was also with the children.
Xue Yu discovered a great advantage of spirit bodies: they could help take care of the children.
Although the children’s spirit bodies were not strong enough to participate in battle now, they were more than enough to protect the children from injury. This was also the reason why Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou could take care of the children while they were at work.
Xue Yu went behind the children and suddenly hugged them. “Haha, Mommy is here! Xiaobei, Xiaonan, did you miss Mommy? Mommy loves you very much.”
“Mommy!” the two children were overjoyed and threw away the toys in their hands, both rushing into their mother’s arms.
Xue Yu kissed each of them on the face. It was strange. Xiaonan was born several months later than Xiaobei, but now she looked exactly like Xiaobei. Not just her features, but also her weight, height, and even her hair were exactly the same as Xiaobei’s, a complete copy-paste.
Xiaonan kept nuzzling into Xue Yu’s arms and held onto her arm. “Mommy, Mommy…”
“Poor little thing. Mommy has spent too little time with you two sisters.”
Xue Yu held both children on her lap. “Don’t be sad. We’ll all get through this. When Mommy has established our home on the island, I’ll bring you all over. Then you can see the world openly.”
The two children didn’t understand what Xue Yu was saying, but they were happy as soon as she spoke and kept staring at their mother.
Xue Yu picked up a doll. “Come on, Mommy will play with you!”
Just playing with a simple rubber ball could make the two little poor things so happy that they kept calling out.
The two little jellyfish sensed their master’s happiness and kept circling the room, their drooping tentacles floating like dandelions.
Feng Qizhou’s arctic fox, on the other hand, kept circling Xue Yu’s legs, looking at her pitifully.
That little look, even if Xue Yu couldn’t communicate with it, she could see its meaning in its eyes: Please, let Blueberry out. Please, let Blueberry out. Please…
Xue Yu didn’t want Blueberry to come out and mess around, so she had been controlling it and not letting it leave the landscape.
But she really couldn’t resist this fox’s gaze. She felt that if she didn’t let Blueberry out, this arctic fox would die of lovesickness.
Her heart softened, and she let Blueberry out, instructing it:
“Blueberry, I still have to attend a conservative meeting tomorrow. Be a little more chaste. Don’t let me go to the meeting tomorrow with a face of overindulgence. Everyone will be laughing at me then.”
“I know!”
Blueberry couldn’t wait to fly to the arctic fox. The two little guys huddled in a corner, pouring out their lovesickness to each other.
When Feng Qizhou finished his shower and returned with his hair being dried, he saw Blueberry and Cake playing again and smiled at Xue Yu. “Oh, you’re already playing.”
“Control your Cake!” Xue Yu said, pretending to be tough.
Feng Qizhou sat down beside her. “I can’t. It’s been corrupted by Blueberry.”
After staying with Feng Qizhou and the children until the evening, Xue Yu returned to the naval combat team’s dorm.
The next morning, she changed into the conservative’s uniform.
She looked in the mirror. This uniform was indeed very formal, very ascetic. She looked like a proper person.
She arrived at the extreme sexual conservatives’ church on time.
The church was very large and could accommodate a thousand people. When she arrived, the seats were all full.
There were more than a thousand members of the conservatives. It was said that there were tens of thousands, but Xue Yu didn’t know the specific number. With so many people, the meetings had to be rotated. This group of people would come today, and that group would come tomorrow.
When Xue Yu entered the church, many people were looking at her.
The data from the initiation’s desire test was public. The fact that Xue Yu was a big pervert had spread everywhere.
When everyone saw Xue Yu’s test data, it caused quite a stir. Xue Yu had even seen everyone’s discussion on the forum last night.
After reading the forum, Xue Yu got two pieces of news, one good and one bad.
The good news was that no one called her #White Tower’s Number One Good-for-Nothing# anymore.
The bad news was that everyone was now calling her #White Tower’s Number One Pervert#.
Xue Yu could only console herself. Being a pervert was better than being a good-for-nothing.
But she was also worried. The people of the White Tower loved to give her nicknames.
What if one day her reproductive ability was exposed? Wouldn’t these people call her #White Tower’s Number One Stud#?
Xue Yu looked around.
She found that the people of the conservatives, both men and women, were all stunningly beautiful, with flawless figures and looks.
Last night, she had also unlocked a piece of information on the forum. When the conservatives reviewed their members, there was also an invisible standard. Appearance was also a part of the assessment.
The reason was that those with outstanding looks were more sexually attractive, and these people needed to manage their desires even more.
At first, many people had deliberately applied to join the conservatives to verify their own charm.
But after joining the conservatives, they found that it was easy to get in but hard to get out. They couldn’t even quit if they wanted to.
Xue Yu saw handsome guys and beautiful women everywhere. As she walked down the stairs, her heart fluttered more than 800 times.
Seeing an empty seat, she was about to sit down when the head deacon, who was sitting at the round conference table in the front, beckoned to her. “Xue Yu, come here. We’re going to have an initiation ceremony for you later. You have to sit here.”
Xue Yu walked over and sat down at the round table, by a metal pillar.
Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou also came. As Xue Yu’s sponsors, they sat on her left and right.
The round table was very large, and there were more than thirty people sitting around it, all of whom were pastors, deacons, lecturers, and outstanding members.
Lu Sen had had a chance to sit at the table, but because his own behavior was too dissolute when he was testing Xue Yu, his points were deducted. Now he could only sit at the bottom with Bai Qi.
The head deacon stood up and said, “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a new member in our conservatives. Today, we finally welcome a new member. She is Xue Yu from the naval combat team. Let’s welcome her.”
Applause rang out from below. The applause was so neat that it didn’t sound like clapping, but like some kind of solemn musical instrument.
Under the head deacon’s instruction, Xue Yu stood up and bowed to everyone.
Then the head deacon gave her a violet insignia and also some manuals about the extreme sexual conservatives. They were full of the rules of the extreme sexual conservatives, a thick stack.
The meeting began. Everyone opened their manuals and listened to the pastor recite the rules for restraining desire.
The content was roughly that for the future of the White Tower, everyone had to maintain restraint. Only with restraint could one better cultivate one’s character and create value.
Xue Yu was very bored. The pastor’s voice was as if it could hypnotize.
And the people of the conservatives were all stunningly beautiful. Xue Yu couldn’t help but steal glances, looking up from time to time.
So, she was caught by the pastor. The pastor said with a straight face, “Xue Yu, please keep your eyes on your manual. Don’t look around.”
“Yes, I’m sorry,” Xue Yu lowered her head.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her leg, becoming more and more audacious. Xue Yu’s breath hitched. Judging from the direction the hand was coming from, it should be Feng Qizhou, who was sitting on her right.
Feng Qizhou kept his head down and stared at the open manual in front of him, his expression serious and rigid, as if he were listening very carefully to the pastor’s lecture. You couldn’t tell at all that he was doing this.
It just so happened that the three of them were sitting by a decorative pillar, and the table was also covered with a black curtain. The edge of the curtain hung down long enough to cover everyone’s legs, and Feng Qizhou’s hand.
Xue Yu wanted to cry. She also reached down and grabbed Feng Qizhou’s wrist.
She couldn’t move it at all. Feng Qizhou was determined to play this out, his fingers becoming more and more flexible.
“Xue Yu, please don’t move,” the pastor said again.
Xue Yu had no choice but to continue to lower her head and bite her lip tightly.
Zhou Siyan thought she was uncomfortable and touched her arm, mouthing, “What’s wrong?”
Xue Yu’s mouth opened and closed, and she said in a low voice, “Little Zhou, my fate is so bitter.”
