Chapter 77 – Isn't this so-called great love too cheap?

The little one seemed lively, which made Levi feel an intense mix of elation, thankfulness, and relief. His baby’s body was warm, moving, and breathing! How would he not feel euphoric?

Yet, even though he was clearly very, very happy, his heart couldn’t help but feel a sharp stab.

A day before, he had been full of beautiful, extravagant hopes for the future. Yet now that his baby was awake, he could no longer immerse himself in his own idyllic fantasy. Everything was a beautiful but fleeting pipe dream. And it was now time to wake up and face the harsh reality.

He had nearly broken his own beloved treasure.

Destroyed with his own two hands what was the most precious to him.

He could no longer keep him. He didn’t deserve to keep him. Not in his arms, not at his side.

Nothing spoke of this fact more clearly than the struggling body in his arms. It frantically tried to get out of his hold as if his touch was corrosive. Get away from him as soon as possible, as far as possible.

Hah, it was to be expected. After what happened, their relationship would never again be the same. How would it be possible for it to remain the same after experiencing something so painful, so horrifying, so traumatic? To feel yourself suffocate, feel your body getting crushed, yet to be unable to do a thing. So small, so helpless.

Even he, Levi, wanted nothing to do with himself. Wishing he could escape from his skin.

Wishing he could be someone deserving of his baby.

His treasure deserved someone who’d make him happy and never hurt him. His treasure deserved a safe and blissful life.

Even… even if no one else will be able to love him as much as he, Levi, did… love wasn’t something that could be quantified in the first place. What use is there to love someone dearly, if all you do is hurt them? Isn’t this so-called great love too cheap?

He could grasp at straws, blame it all on the terrorists. But that would be nothing but lying to himself. Didn’t he destroy half of his mansion last night even without the terrorists? What if at that time, his baby had been lying by his side?

He was a ticking time bomb, and the best thing he could do for his baby was to just… to just let go.

But even though he knew that, he… he just couldn’t bring himself to let go! How could he let go of this person that meant everything to him? He had never been that selfless and noble, nor that self-destructive. Letting go might be the best for his baby, but to him, the act was no different to suicide.

He knew what should be done, but he just couldn’t jump of the edge himself.

He needed a push.

Thus, he could only stand there frozen, waiting for the guillotine suspended over his head to finally drop down and take away his life.

But as he waited for it, this guillotine known as Noah, abruptly ceased its movements.

Noah was, of course, completely unaware that he had woken up his pillow, for he was currently preoccupied with thoughts of how pitiful his brother-in-law was.

So pitiful, ah! In such a desperate time all alone and uncared for!

Finally, feeling like he’d explode if he didn’t voice out his inner outrage, Noah stopped trying to get out of Levi’s arms and started to tap on the light screen of his communicator writing a long, long message to his disappointing sister.

The disappointing sister who still didn’t even know her fiancé was the cause of her overtime: QAQ

Levi was dying to know what the little one was typing. Was he calling for help? Sending an SOS? He wanted to know, but didn’t dare peek lest the other realized he was awake. He couldn’t face Noah, he didn’t dare face him. He didn’t even dare look at him. The only thing he could do was to pretend he wasn’t conscious.

Noah took a long time to word his official letter of admonishment which could basically be summed up as “Hurry back home and comfort your hubby!”

Blackie stared at the paragraphs of passive-aggressive text at a loss. Not only was his host encouraging his love rival to comfort and pamper his hubby, but he even managed to word it in such a persuasive and guilt inducing way. Such a talent, ah!

After pressing the send button, Noah finally felt as if he’d gotten that stuffy feeling off his chest. He ignored the countless notifications and messages he’d received from his worried friends and colleagues, and returned back to what he was previously doing – trying to wiggle out of Levi’s embrace.

Levi gritted his teeth. Sure enough, what was coming would eventually come.

He inhaled the lovely scent of his darling’s hair for one last time, and then, with a demeanor of a man that had nothing left to live for, he weakly released his grip on the other.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he had resolved himself to let him go, the other’s struggle abruptly ceased once again.

However, this time there were no tapping or any other movements. The two of them both just laid there in silence, for several long moments.

And then, something soft and warm, yet incomparably ticklish entered Levi’s ear, “Brother? Are you awake?”

Levi naturally continued to play dead.

However, the way his body reflexively stiffened was all the response Noah needed.

“Sorry for waking you up… I-I needed to go to the toilet… don’t mind me, just continue sleeping. I’ll… I’ll be right back!” Noah jumped off the bed with flushed cheeks. He couldn’t straight out say that he had been relentlessly fighting to get out of bed because he was dying out of embarrassment! Thus, toilet excuse it is!

Noah faced the door to the bathroom, but in the end didn’t take a single step forwards. Instead, he glanced back at Levi.

Levi looked much better than he did this morning, but these few hours of sleep were nowhere near enough to make up for what happened in the last 24 hours. While this morning Levi looked like a zombie, right now he looked like a vampire. Still undead, but less... dead.

“Brother?” Noah tentatively called out.

He again, received no response. However, now that Noah was paying attention, he wouldn’t miss any of the little telltale signs. Levi’s mental power was now clearly much more active than previously when he had been asleep. It was alert and attentive, thus he was clearly not just awake but very aware of his surroundings.

And judging by the increasingly chaotic movements of his mental power, Levi was distressed and getting more upset by the second.

He had little tolerance for mistakes to begin with, so having his own power hurt people he cared about would undoubtedly be something hard for him to accept.

    Noah looked up at his brother-in-law's current adorably foolish state and couldn’t stop his eyes and mouth from curving into a brilliant smile filled with affection, “I’m not hurt. My body is already fully healed.”Seeing that incomparably beautiful smile, Levi felt as if he had been shot at again.“That’s not what I meant...” Levi furrowed his eyebrows, “Your body has recovered, but it cannot change the fact that you almost... almost...” Levi swallowed hard and was unable to continue his words. Instead, he instinctively clutched at the smaller body lying on top of his as if holding for dear life.

    Levi didn’t need to do anything for a silent crack to form in everyone’s mind. A subtle change of perception that grew and grew until what they saw looked nowhere near what was initially there.Their perception was like a mirror. The image reflected on a smooth mirror was clear, but once the mirror cracked, the reflection would become distorted and split until it could no longer be recognized.Back when everyone had distanced themselves from him, he had even felt it was a good thing. His power was excellent - not only was it very convenient in many ways, but it also kept unwanted company away.

Empathizers could sense the emotions of others as if they were their own.

    The rumble of Levi’s chest quickly settled down, but the sweet elation bubbling within remained. He dutifully moved his left hand up and down, donning an expression of a demure wife trying to placate her irate husband. However, if one looked closely, one could see a metaphorical fox tail swishing behind him, for his carefully measured strokes only prolonged the sweet torment. On the surface, he was scratching the little one’s “itch”, but in reality, he kept fanning the flames underneath the pot, stirring and mixing the boiling water within, yet not once letting it spill over the edge. While Levi’s left hand was busy producing obscene squelches as it bullied Noah’s needy little brother, Levi’s right hand cupped the little sack snuggly as if weighing a bag of gold coins. Really lovely, ah! ♥ The weight on his palm was pleasing, the velvety texture even more so, and the contents were even more valuable than gold. Levi’s thumb rubbed the base of the pink

    Levi closed his eyes in desperate attempts to hold off jumping his darling’s behind. ‘His little ass has not been prepped yet,’ He kept reminding himself. ‘Endure. Focus. Put into practice everything you had learned through “educational” videos.’ Though, it quickly became apparent that his time and effort was better spent doing it than watching other people do it. To put it bluntly – he learned much more quickly with a “hands-on” approach. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) How could he not? With the presence of that magical resonance between him and his baby, trial and error became the best teacher. With each movement of Levi’s tongue and lips, the intense waves of pleasure crashed through Noah and rebounded back to Levi. The pleasure the little one felt leaked between the seams, seeping through onto Levi until he was nearly drowning in it, feeling the consequence of every single movement even more clearly than if he had been doing it to himself. And when that wa

    He had such a lewd thing done to him, yet instead of feeling outraged, resentful, or repulsed, he actually… actually responded in such an improper way!!! Ah, ah! He should clearly be dissatisfied right now! And angry, so angry! He should push the other away and scold him! Make him sleep on the couch for a year–no, month–no, week!! But… but… actually… besides nervousness and shame, there was only… “Nngh!” The voice that came out of Noah’s mouth was so lascivious the embarrassment brought tears to his eyes. He bit his lip in a pitiful attempt to stop himself from letting out such appalling noises. Yet his quivering lips just couldn’t remain closed under the onslaught of pleasure, constantly releasing choked gasps and whimpering moans. Noah’s thick and long eyelashes shuddered, trying to blink away the moisture and hide the two amber orbs underneath. Those two gems were too mirror-like, clearly reflecting all of the thoughts that he didn’t wish anyone el

    Levi’s body shuddered violently. In an instant, his throat grew so parched he nearly choked on his own sharp inhale. Yet what grew the most was, naturally, Levi’s unbearably hard, unbearably swollen lower half. Though its owner was very bent, his shaft was standing up as straight as a flagpole wishing to pierce the heavens, throbbing painfully with every heartbeat. Levi’s original plan of slowly stripping off his baby’s briefs flew out of the picture in that instant. And so did the mentioned briefs. They slid down Noah’s pair of long, slender legs with rushed haste as if fleeing from a calamity, after which they shot off like a rocket to the unknown horizons of the condo. Levi didn’t even stop a single moment to ponder over the fact that he had just tossed his darling’s panties to who knows where. In fact, if you asked him, he’d rather they were never found. That way, his baby’s everything would unavoidably be laid bare in front of his eyes, free for him to admire an

    Without further ado, this respectable S-ranked Enforcer used his noble powers to push Noah’s hands above his head, making one hand grasp the wrist of the other. After unclasping the wristband, Levi switched the target of his power to the communicator, making it fly into his own hand.He had initially wanted to hide the communicator away in the far corner of the condo, but after seeing it had been set to silent mode, he decided to just stash it in the second drawer of the bedside table, right next to his own.Levi hurriedly got off the bed right next to the bedside table.After safely storing his baby’s communicator in the second drawer, he opened the first where he had put the equipment he prepared last night. Levi retrieved a sparkly pink bottle that looked like an expensive perfume at first glance. However, if one observed it more closely, one would notice that the liquid inside was too thick to be perfume.Levi moved to close the drawer but

    Levi used his power to gently push his darling, who had been lying on his side, to lie on his back instead. With this slight movement, the bed sheet covering the sleeping beauty slipped past his shoulders, down his chest, revealing the subtle yet gorgeous muscles underneath.Exposed to the sudden chill, the two pink buds on the fair, smooth chest immediately stiffened.When this alluring sight fell into Levi’s eyes, he couldn’t move his gaze away as if bewitched. His breathing sped up, his Adam’s apple rolled, and he swallowed hard. It took only a moment for the look in his eyes to turn from warm adoration to scorching hunger, from restrained anticipation to uncontrollable fervor.He had initially moved with an inspiring and righteous notion of fulfilling his husbandly duties to satisfy his little wife, but his idea of indulgent and pure love

    Astar Levi stood frozen in place, staring holes into a thick clump of shiny brown hair peeking out of the crimson sheets. Levi’s chicken burrito must have remembered the existence of multiple bathrooms in the bungalow because the strands loosely framing his lovely face were damp. They cast shadows over the little one’s cheeks and eyes, making him look all the more delicate, like a little angel. A sleeping angel.

    Noah rolled on the bed, wrapping himself with sheets until only his head peeked out. Now that his mistake in apparel was perfectly covered up with bedsheets, this little red caterpillar rolled over to the edge of the bed and let out a breath of relief. “Ah, Blackie! Perfect timing!” ‘Uh-oh!’All of Blackie’s virtual hair stood on its end. His host ignored the roasting and even appreciated Blackie’s uncalled-for appearance?? This did not sound good!(っ°Д °;)っ“…Host… did the gravity of your current situation make your mind snap?! Ah, ah! Calm down! Don’t lose it!
