Chapter 411 Offense and Defense Against Aliens

After two and a half hours of fussing, the kitchen finally filled with a rich aroma of food.

Xu Nian carried the prepared dishes one by one to the small coffee table next to the sofa. There was sweet and sour pineapple pork, sweet and sour fish, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

"Come and try it, see how different it is from what I make in the country?"

Xu Xi picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of sweet and sour pork with pineapple, dipped it in some lemon-flavored sweet and sour sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The familiar taste spreads in your mouth, perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—it's the taste of your memories.

In an instant, her eyes lit up, as if the gloom in her eyes had been mostly dispelled by this delicious food.

Being able to eat such a delicious home-cooked meal in a foreign land is a wonderful thing.

She picked up the bowl, grabbed her chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.

Before long, she had eaten all the food in front of her.

She leaned back on the sofa and let out a comfortable burp.

Xu Nian smiled and wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth: "Are you still angry?"

Hearing this, Xu Xi's face fell again. She gave a soft hum and turned her face away from him, clearly still not completely appeased.

Xu Nian gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He thought about it and realized that food was enough to appease Xiaoxi, but food alone... didn't seem to be enough to appease Xiaohuomiao.

He stroked his chin, a knowing glint in his eyes, and made up his mind.

He gently untied his bath towel, reached out and pulled the girl tightly into his arms, lowered his head and placed a soft kiss on her cheek, his hand slowly slipping inside her clothes and roaming over her delicate skin.

Then, he picked Xu Xi up and carried her towards the bedroom.

But today, Xu Xi was unusually resistant.

She struggled in his arms, pushing him away with her hands and feet, her eyes flashing with obvious panic.

Xu Nian noticed something was wrong with her and quickly put her down, her brows furrowing slightly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I, I..." Xu Xi stammered for a long time, his eyes darting around, his hands tightly gripping the hem of his clothes, his cheeks flushed red, and his voice barely audible.

After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said softly, "I'm not available these days..."

After saying that, she didn't dare to look Xu Nian in the eye, turned around and ran to the bedroom, slamming the door shut and quickly pressing the deadbolt button.

Xu Nian stood there, watching the girl run away with her exaggerated crab-like gait, scratched his head, and looked puzzled.

......

In the bedroom, Xu Xi leaned against the headboard, her legs pressed together, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a look of pain appeared on her pretty face.

Actually, her period was still almost a week away.

The reason she acted this way was entirely because the battle last night was too intense.

This was the first time she had ever seen Xu Nian so fierce. Even in his sleep, he was like a starving wolf rider, charging at her again and again.

In the past, she had always been in control, but last night, for the first time, she became a lamb to the slaughter, without even the ability to resist.

The strategies for offense and defense differ.

That bastard has no sense of chivalry whatsoever.

The size was ill-fitting to begin with, and he didn't even know to slow down, causing her a lot of suffering. She's still swollen, and any movement brings a dull ache.

She reached for the pain relief cream on the bedside table and carefully applied it, occasionally letting out a soft "hiss" sound.

Xu Nian's out-of-control behavior genuinely frightened her.

Fortunately, Long Teng didn't give him that strange potion again today, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do.

For now, she can only put on a truce and rest for a few days.

She pouted, glared resentfully at the closed door, and sulked inwardly.

Can't afford to provoke, can I still not hide?

Let this guy sleep on the sofa for a few days until she's fully recovered.

After a while, there was a gentle knock on the bedroom door.

Xu Xi lay on her side, with a pillow between her legs, propping up her little head.

Hearing the knock, she glanced indifferently at the door, showing no intention of opening it.

She blew on it, brushing the stray hairs from her forehead to one side, and continued looking at the reports on her phone.

The knocking didn't stop. The person outside seemed very persistent, remaining undeterred even after being turned away for two and a half minutes.

Xu Xi frowned, clicked her tongue, and finally couldn't resist. She slowly got out of bed, put on her little bunny slippers, and with her still awkward crab-like steps, moved step by step to the door, reaching out to open it a crack.

"You're annoying..."

Before she could finish speaking, she caught sight of the steaming soup in the man's hand, and her words instantly stuck in her throat.

Xu Nian scratched his head sheepishly, bent down, and handed the soup in his hand to the girl.

"Brown sugar and egg soup, it's good for replenishing blood. I added extra sugar, drink it while it's hot."

Xu Xi glanced at the steaming bowl of brown sugar and egg soup, then at the man in front of her who had trained all day and whose face was full of exhaustion, yet still had to cook and make soup for her. Her heart clenched, and she felt a pang of sadness.

He's so stupid, how come he can't understand the hidden meaning in her words at all?

However, it is precisely because of this naive and simple-minded man that she is worthy of entrusting herself to him without reservation.

She glared at the man resentfully and scolded him, "You idiot."

After saying that, she took the soup from his hand, raised her snow-white neck, and drank it all in one gulp.

Whether it was psychological or not, she felt that the pain from her lower body seemed to have lessened.

Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had drunk the bowl of soup.

He didn't know why Xu Xi was angry; he only assumed it was because she was going through her period every month.

Judging by the dates, it seems like this time it's a week earlier than expected.

He wondered to himself: Could it be that he is suffering from acclimatization issues in this foreign land?

After finishing the soup, Xu Xi's resentment seemed to have vanished.

She took off her shoes, got into bed, patted the pillow next to her, looked up at Xu Nian, and gestured for him to come and lie down.

Xu Nian immediately understood and quietly lay down beside her.

After the two lay down, Xu Xi reached out and turned off the bedside lamp, plunging the bedroom into darkness.

Xu Nian guessed that Xu Xi's irregular period this time must have made her stomach very uncomfortable.

So he tentatively slipped his hand under her clothes and gently rubbed her stomach.

Feeling the warmth of the man's palm, Xu Xi's cheeks flushed, and his heartbeat quickened.

She turned around, looked into the man's eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and softly asked, "Do you want it?"

"I..." Xu Nian scratched her head.

In fact, for some reason, he felt that his desires were much stronger than usual today.

From the moment he returned and saw Xu Xi, the tent had already been set up.

But he also knew that Xu Xi was currently menstruating and feeling unwell.

So he could only keep these ambiguous thoughts to himself and had to endure them these days, without forcing himself.

"No, go to sleep," he said evasively, rubbing Xu Xi's little head.

Xu Xi stopped talking, softly hummed in agreement, and snuggled into the man's arms, pressing her cheek tightly against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, before slowly closing her eyes.

But her intimate and gentle demeanor was like a match, instantly igniting the suppressed desire in the man's heart, making his body even hotter.

Xu Nian frantically recited mathematical formulas in her mind, over and over again, trying to calm the burning desire in her heart.

But the faint fragrance of the girl's hair that occasionally wafted into his nostrils always ruined his "hardware softening project".

Helpless, he quietly got out of bed and went to the bathroom, intending to manually cool himself down.

Just as he was about to make his move, a pair of soft, delicate hands gently wrapped around his waist from behind.

"What are you doing?" The girl's cool voice rang in his ear.

Xu Nian was startled. He stammered, "Little Flame, I... I just..."

"Just what?" Xu Xi's voice turned colder, her small hands roaming over the man's chest muscles. "With me, are you still not satisfied?"

"No." Xu Nian's neck flushed red, and her voice gradually softened. "Isn't it...isn't it inconvenient for you?"

Xu Xi smiled faintly, pointed to her slightly parted, soft little mouth with her finger, and stuck out her little tongue to gently lick her thin lips.

"What a hassle, but what can I do? You're my man."
