QT: Against My Will-Chapter 630 - 12.10 - Nathaniel Wants To Cry - Interstellar Voyage
Nathaniel slid his back against the wall. The impact of Victor’s punch still throbbed on his face, adding physical pain to his emotional turmoil.
’I want to cry.’
’Me too.’
’Same.’
Lu Kai was convinced his wife was aiming to rule over the people in this spaceship and become a queen bee of the cosmos. Not to abandon everyone faster than a shooting star!
He even lured the enemy ship, setting the stage for his wife to dazzle everyone and prove she was the top choice for command. It didn’t matter what character he was portraying, in the background of it all, he would always think about his wife’s well-being.
And guess what? Everyone ended up thinking that she was the one who leaked their hideout!

’This woman...I can’t even...’
( ꒦ິ ⌓ ꒦ິ )
’She does all this random shit to confuse me, and just when I think I’ve caught on, she hits me with even more bizarre stuff.’
┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻
’I give up!’
’...’ Ru Quan tried to ignore Lu Kai’s inner meltdown that was more dramatic than a soap opera’s climax, ’Victor’s given up on her, so hey, there’s at least one win for you.’
’Shit, I still can’t get over how our brainiac got spectacularly ghosted. With his shitload of experience and knowledge about social dynamics, you’d think he’d have seen that trainwreck coming from a mile off.’
’Oh yeah? Let me pass all my knowledge to you so you can give it a try, smartass.’
’We were foolish to think Dai An would try to seduce us into losing a bet." Xuan Mu stepped in, halting their bickering, "Honestly, she appears to prefer spending her time on far more interesting things than us."
’...’
’...’
’..."
’How did we capture our wife’s heart again?’
’No idea.’
’Will the no idea work on Dai An?’
’I bet not.’
’...’
’I can’t take this anymore. I’m going to snitch Dai An on Bing Shi.’
’Dude, that would awaken Dai An’s wrath.’
’Yeah, don’t even think about bothering Bing Shi with unnecessary worries.’
’...’
’Do you remember the toys she had given you?’
’Mm, what about them?’ Nathaniel pulled out a box of items Bing Shi bought during her stay in XiaoPu’s world, thinking how they were too far apart to use them anyway.
’Didn’t you see what Dai An is capable of? They can’t be regular sex toys.’
Nathaniel lifted a black ring and studied it more closely. There were some intricate runes etched into its surface, hinting at something beyond the ordinary, ’Is Bing Shi still inside our bedroom?’
’Yeah, she is still organizing her space ring,’ Ziek stole a peek inside their bedroom, finding Bing Shi so pitifully cute with how obediently she stayed inside their room.
Nathaniel closed his eyes for a quick nap, ’I’m in desperate need of some intense cuddling right now.’
Lu Kai’s strong longing deeply affected others. So even though they kept him from entering their space, he could still get most of his needs met in a way.

’How’s our bet progressing?’ Bing Shi asked Dai An, ’Any developments?’ She was curious, alright?
’~Speaking solely for Nathaniel and Shina, nobody wants to kiss or hug the other.’
They didn’t feel the need for physical affection, but both took great delight in trying to break each other’s character.
Staying apart was not a viable solution. Thus, the question remained: Would Nathaniel seek out Shina for a change, or would Shina, as she often did until now, be the one to reach out to him first? (Just so she could pour some cold water on him)?
It should be Nathaniel who should take the initiative to seek her out this time, right? He would suddenly realize that he somehow missed her and would travel across the universe to find her. Wouldn’t that be the most romantic enemies turn lovers story in the whole universe?
Ru Quan, upon catching the sight of Bing Shi’s unguarded expression, caused Lu Kai’s earlier intentions for ’intense cuddling’ to dissolve instantly.
Bing Shi was seated comfortably on the plush carpet beside the bed, sorting through items from her space rings. Her expressions changed with each item – sometimes a smile, sometimes a puzzled frown — trying to remember when and how she had accumulated so many items.
Ru Quan laid on the ground and put his head in her lap, seeking a moment of rest as Bing Shi continued to organize her rings, "Don’t you find it stifling, to be cooped up in this room day after day?" he asked gently.
"Not in the slightest," Bing Shi smiled, knowing that Dai An was out there handling things for her, "I was a bit worried about Stinky Bun getting restless inside, so I asked Dai An to take him out for a walk."
"..." Ru Quan received an image of the walking voodoo doll from Lu Kai, and decided not to approach the topic further, "Dai An is truly a blessing. I think I might have to lock her up soon too or she might overwork."
Bing Shi nodded in agreement, "Do it."
Ru Quan’s gaze softened when it met hers. Supporting himself with his elbows, his hands cradled her face.The prominent veins running along his forearms and hands hinted at the controlled power beneath his gentle touch.
The beauty of the moment was enhanced by the assured way his lips sought hers. His tongue peeked out slightly, gently and suggestively, before he pressed forward.
His lips brushed softly against Bing Shi’s, then pulled back slightly, only to lean in again. He hoped it would be enough to inspire Lu Kai to hold on and win the bet.
This soft give-and-take became an electrifying play of desire that left Bing Shi breathlessly captivated, "You are leaving my coochie in tears again, aren’t you"
"..." Ru Quan pulled his lips from hers and kissed her neck. He licked her collarbone, and his tongue ran along the curve of her shoulder, "Mm, don’t worry. I’ll ensure she is tear-free by the end."

Nathaniel sensed a subtle, unexpected texture in his cargo pants. Curiously, he slid his fingers inside one of the pockets, brushing against the soft fabric with a light touch, ’Don’t tell me...’ A wave of recognition washed over him as he rubbed the damp part a few more times, ’Thanks old man.’
’You’ve got five minutes to return them before she realizes her underwear with a strategically placed strawberry embroidery has gone missing.’
Nathaniel, the notorious man in celibacy, slipped inside his own space to proceed with something unholy.
’This feels so nostalgic,’ Lu Kai reminisced about what Xuan Mu used to do whenever he went on a long business trip.
