When a man and a woman who are in love with each other reach the point of having a physical relationship, the sense of distance seems to vanish into thin air.
This was the first thought that popped into Xia Miao's mind when she woke up the next day and found herself being hugged tightly in someone's arms with all four limbs, feeling short of breath.
Under the covers, No. 13 was completely naked. His soiled uniform had been thrown into the washing machine, and since he had no change of clothes, he had no choice but to stay that way.
Xia Miao was wearing a nightgown to sleep, but such a thin nightgown was no different from nothing when the man was clinging so close to her.
She felt the hand that had slipped into her nightgown and was touching her skin. She also felt his thigh rubbing against hers, sticking to it tightly.
Maybe he liked the feel, or maybe it was just an accident, but his hand was firmly pressing on her chest, covering one side with his big hand and not letting go all night.
Xia Miao stared blankly at the ceiling. Suddenly, she felt a bit regretful about being so impulsive last night and sleeping with him so soon. She suddenly realized that he seemed to have a clingy side, and it would take some time for her to get used to it.
The young man was still in his dream. His eyebrows were relaxed, and his peaceful appearance with his face pressed against Xia Miao's showed that he was sleeping soundly and perhaps having a sweet dream.
Xia Miao really couldn't stand it anymore. If her body didn't move, it would surely be useless due to poor blood circulation.
She couldn't help but move gently. Just as she pulled one hand out of the quilt, the next second, the man tightened his arm around her, and she sank into his arms, once again enveloped by the familiar scent.
Xia Miao was about to be suffocated!
She tried hard to lift her head and struggled desperately.
Suddenly, something cold and very hard climbed up along her leg, wrapped around her waist, and after a tug, Xia Miao slid down under the quilt, and her face was completely covered by the quilt.
She finally couldn't bear it anymore. She pushed and kicked the man, shouting, "Let go of me! I'm going to be suffocated by you!"
Normally, due to his occupation, No. 13 should have a very high level of vigilance. But Xia Miao kicked him for a long time before he barely opened his eyes a tiny bit.
His blue eyes were still hazy with sleep, like the sky and the sea that were not yet fully awake, misty and unclear.
"Miaomiao."
He fished her out of the quilt, held her face in his hands, and rubbed his face against hers several times. His bright-colored hair was soft and beautiful, but it was all messy after a night of passion. It tickled her face when it rubbed against it.
Xia Miao only felt that his behavior was like that of a small animal, as if he subconsciously wanted to leave more of his scent on her. She felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. The biggest problem was that "little No. 13" was starting to show signs of waking up and was also rubbing against her.
"It's already very late. Aren't you going to get up and go to work?"
The clarity returned to No. 13's eyes. This man, who was usually the most enthusiastic about going to work, now had a very negative attitude. He said lazily, "Work is not important."
Xia Miao asked him curiously, "Then what on earth did you work for before?"
"Because it was fun."
Xia Miao didn't understand what was so fun about it. She asked, "Isn't it fun anymore now?"
"I've found something more fun." He stared at her face with a smile. His well - defined fingers landed on her face, and his fingertips gently glided across her skin, often pausing at her lips. He lowered his voice and said, "It's much more interesting to be with Miaomiao."
Just overnight, he had made extraordinary progress.
Being with Xia Miao made him extremely comfortable, which was completely incomparable to the feeling of torturing people in the interrogation room.
Xia Miao had a premonition of something bad because this man was leaning in, gently kissing the corners of her lips, as if testing her limits and considering whether to do something more excessive.
Just then, there was a noise outside.
Xia Miao asked, "What's going on?"
His face looked a bit grim. "It's the alarm. There must be some problem somewhere that needs to be dealt with. I'll go and check it out."
He sat up on the bed, and the quilt slid down, revealing his well - built body.
At this moment, Xia Miao had no intention of admiring it. Seeing that he was about to leave, she quickly sat up and grabbed his hand. "Will it be dangerous?"
"No." He leaned down, pressed his forehead against hers, stroked the top of her head, and said with a relaxed smile, "Miaomiao, wait for me here. I'll come back to you soon."
He kissed her and then put on his cleaned and dried uniform and left.
Xia Miao sat on the bed for a while. Listening to the non - stop alarm outside, she still felt uneasy.
After washing up and changing her clothes, she was so restless in the room that she wanted to go out and have a look, but she was afraid of causing trouble for No. 13. What made it even more disturbing was that the interstellar network had lost its signal. Mobile devices couldn't connect to the Internet, and she couldn't make a phone call. All these seemed to indicate that a big problem was brewing.
About two hours later, No. 13 came back.
There was a lot of blood on his clothes again. Xia Miao stood up in shock. Before she could say a word, he said first, "I'm not injured. This isn't my blood."
Xia Miao was still very anxious. "What on earth happened?"
"Something went wrong in the laboratory. Someone released some alien creatures." As No. 13 was speaking, he opened the wardrobe, put a few of Xia Miao's usual clothes into the backpack he had brought, and then led Xia Miao's hand and walked outside.
"Although the situation might be a bit bad, don't worry. I'll protect you."
A black monster rushed out from the corridor. After No. 13 fired his gun, the monster's head exploded, splashing blood all over the place.
Xia Miao recognized that this creature was what many people called a creature from Planet Sair.
It was said that Planet Sair was a barren planet. In order to compete for the resources to survive, even the same kind would kill each other. They had no concept of companions, and there was only killing in their eyes.
What was even more terrifying was that they were like a virus with extremely high infectivity. Once bitten by them, one would be parasitized by them, and the body of the parasitized creature would be the best nutrient for their growth.
Because of their high danger level, they had always been regarded by humans as the top target to be eliminated.
The red alarm lights were flashing in the corridor. Gunshots were coming from all directions. There was blood everywhere, with the corpses of alien creatures and the torn - apart bodies of humans.
Xia Miao saw a corpse lying against the wall.
It was a man with a big belly, seemingly a wealthy businessman. But his belly had been torn open, leaving a big bloody hole, as if something terrifying had crawled out of his body not long ago.
No. 13 always held Xia Miao's hand tightly, leading her to step over the blood and corpses and keep moving forward.
