Chapter 160: Back To That Key Moment ③

---

  事后，莱因对流泪的解释是：太辣了。

After noticing it, Rhine explained his tears as, “It was too spicy.”

  尚可无语，他做的明明是清粥小菜，哪里来的辣味？不过莱因确实有些不对劲，他好像已经忘记他们的关系，却又无比熟悉他的味道，不知道在他“死”后，这个男人经历了什么。

Shang Ke was speechless. What he made was clearly plain congee and some side dishes. Where did the spicy taste come from? However, there clearly was something off with Rhine. He seemed to have forgotten their relationship yet was very familiar with the taste of his cooking. He wondered what his man experienced after his death.

  当晚，尚可被安排在莱因隔壁的客房休息。几个小时相处下来，他竟然一直规规矩矩，连一点暗示性的亲密动作都没有。想当初，他对同为Alpha的自己，可是说上就上。现在他都把自己洗干净送到他碗里了，他居然还不下口？

That night, Shang Ke arranged himself to rest in the guest room next to Rhine’s. In the hours that they had been interacting, he actually behaved himself without a hint of intimacy. It was a complete contrast to the past him, where even though Shang Ke was also an alpha, he still pushed him down. Now that he had cleaned up and sent himself to him, he was actually not going to take a bite?

  尚可躺在床上，静静感受着隔壁传来的若有似无的信息素。同时，他用自己的信息素给予回应。

Shang Ke lied in bed, silently feeling the indistinct pheromone from next door. At the same time, he used his own pheromone to respond.

  两人释放的信息素都不强烈，如浅浅的涟漪般，缠绕融合，温暖而轻柔，抚慰着寂寞的灵魂，带他们走入甜蜜的梦乡。

The pheromones released by the two men were not strong. Like shallow ripples, they twisted and merged with each other, warm and gentle, soothing their lonely souls and leading them into sweet dreams.

  第二天，尚可早早起来准备早餐。虽然公馆有专门的厨师，但他还是习惯自己动手。他觉得自己做的食物能够勾起莱因的记忆，让他尽快想起他们的过去。当然，就算想不起来也没关系，他们可以重新开始。

The next day, Shang Ke got up early to prepare breakfast. Although there was a dedicated chef at the residence, he was still used to doing it himself. He felt that the food made by him could be used to trigger Rhine’s memories and remember their past as soon as possible. Of course, even if he couldn’t remember, it didn’t matter. They could start all over again.

  踏踏踏，一阵略显急促的脚步声从楼梯处传来。尚可转头望去，见莱因一脸煞气地从楼上跑下来，跑到楼梯口时又骤然停住，眼睛一瞬不瞬地盯着正站在餐桌旁的尚可。

A steady rhythm of hurried footsteps came from the stairway. Shang Ke turned his head and found Rhine running down with the aura of a vengeful spirit. He abruptly stopped at the foot of the stairs and stared at Shang Ke without blinking.

  “怎么了？”尚可的视线在他身上扫过。莱因此时头发凌乱，睡袍大敞，露出一身精壮的肌肉，黑色内裤包裹着重要部位，突显出傲人的形状。

“What’s the matter?” Shang Ke’s eyes swept over him. Rhine’s hair was messy and his nightgown was wide open, revealing his strong muscles. His black underpants hid his intimate parts from view but it still outlined the bulge prominently. 

  “没什么。”莱因走到尚可身边，直到完全捕捉到他的气息，脸上的表情才稍稍缓和。

“Nothing.” Rhine’s expression finally eased a bit after he walked to Shang Ke and caught his scent.

  “今天9点有一场机甲竞技赛，你要和我一起去看吗？”尚可一边布菜一边问道。

“There is a mecha competition at 9 o’clock today. Do you want to go with me?” Shang Ke asked as he arranged the dishes.

  “嗯。”莱因坐在主位，一副等吃的模样。

“Mmm.” Rhine sat in the main seat and waited for food.

  尚可动作一顿，微笑道：“亲爱的少将大人，在用餐之前，可以请您先回房洗漱一下吗？”

Shang Ke paused, then spoke with an exasperated smile, “My dear Sir, can you return to your room and clean up before eating?”

  虽然有损某人的形象，但他还是无法忍受和一个眼里有眼屎的男人愉快地共进早餐。

Although it was detrimental to a certain person’s image, the point was that Shang Ke could not happily eat his breakfast with someone who still had gunk in his eye.

  莱因像是这才意识到自己仪容不整，默不作声地上楼去了。

Rhine seemed to have finally realized that he was not properly dressed, so he silently went back upstairs.

  待他再出现时，又变成了一位威严冷峻的将军。

When he reappeared, he was once again a dignified and cold general.

  莱因开始用餐，尚可顺手帮他点开今日新闻。

Shang Ke helped him turn on the news while Rhine started eating.

  莱因碗里食物见底，尚可很自然地帮他添满。

When Rhine’s bowl was empty, Shang Ke very naturally filled it back up for him.

  莱因放下餐具，尚可递上热饮。

When Rhine placed down his tableware, Shang Ke handed him a warm drink.

  莱因拿起餐巾，尚可便吩咐侍者收拾桌子。

When Rhine picked up his napkin, Shang Ke ordered the attendant to clear the table.

  两人的动作默契得就像在一起生活了许久的家人。

The two acted as if they had lived together for a long time.

  莱因自然也察觉到了，他对这个人的熟悉、亲近、信任……都说明一件事，他们以前的关系非比寻常。

Rhine also noticed his familiarity, intimacy and trust with Shang Ke… it all pointed to one thing, their relationship before was unusual.

  “走吧。”

“Let’s go.”

  两人离开公馆，坐车去了举行机甲赛的竞技中心。

The two left the residence and rode to the center where the mecha competition was held.

  尚可感觉如今的莱因在生活态度方面有些沉闷和消极，少了以往的热情，好像这世上已经没有什么东西能够引起他的兴趣了。

Shang Ke felt that Rhine’s attitude toward life was somewhat gloomy and negative. He lacked the passion toward life from before, as if nothing in this world could arouse his interest.

  所以尚可打算趁着休假，带他重新体验热血和激情。

As such, Shang Ke planned to take advantage of his vacation to let him experience the passion of youth.

  竞技场中人声鼎沸，聚集了成千上万的Alpha和Beta，到处都充斥这信息素的气息。这种场合，Omega一般很少踏足，除非使用了抑制剂，并且待在具有隔离效果的VIP室。否则如此强烈的信息素，足以让他们疯狂。

The arena was rowdy with thousands of alphas and betas, and their pheromones were everywhere. In this kind of situation, omegas would very rarely attend unless they used suppressants and stayed in a VIP room. Otherwise, the intense pheromones would be enough to drive them crazy.

  尚可用自己军官身份订了一间VIP室，比赛有十几场，少说要5、6个小时，中午可以直接在这里用餐。

Shang Ke booked a VIP room using his identity as an officer. There were more than a dozen matches at this competition. At minimum, it would take five to six hours. At noon, they could just order and eat right in the room.

  比赛开始，两架机甲相继从通道中飞出，各自展示着他们华丽的操作和战斗技巧。

At the beginning of the competition, two mechas flew out of the tunnel one after the other. They showcased their magnificent operation and fighting skills.

  莱因看着大屏幕上光影交错的战斗画面，脑中闪现出一段模糊的记忆……蜂拥而来的虫子，昂扬挺立的身影，血肉翻飞的伤痕……

Rhine watched the flickering lights and shadows on the screen, and a blurry memory flashed by his mind… The swarming insects, a tall and strong silhouette, and injuries that covered everything… 

  “菲尔！”莱因突然叫了一声。

“Fil” Rhine suddenly cried out.

  “什么？”尚可不明所以地转过头来。

“What?” Shang Ke confusedly turned to him.

  莱因紧紧盯着他，眼中突然涌现的疯狂逐渐隐匿，又恢复一片平静。

Rhine kept a close eye on him. The sudden madness in his eyes gradually disappeared and he went back to being calm.

  “回吧。”莱因起身朝外走去。

“Let’s go back.” Rhine got up and walked out.

  “不看了？”尚可连忙跟上去。

“You’re not watching anymore?” Shang Ke quickly followed.

  莱因脚步一顿，在尚可撞上前，伸手环住他的腰。

Rhine paused midstep, then wrapped his arms around Shang Ke’s waist before he could knock into him.

  “去训练室，我们自己来一场。”低沉的声音中，隐隐透着几分压抑的情绪。

“Let’s go to the training room and fight a round.” His suppressed emotions could be faintly made out within his voice.

  两人走出VIP室，刚好碰到从隔壁房间走出的两人。尚可定睛一看，其中一个还是熟人。

When they walked out of the VIP room, they also ran into the two people from next door. Shang Ke stared at them. It was actually an acquaintance.

  “咦？兰斯洛少将。”泽卡行了一个军礼，脸上露出些许意外的神色。

“Huh? Major General Lancelot.” Zeke gave a military salute with a look of surprise on his face.

  泽卡身后还站着一个青年，年约二十上下，相貌清秀，面色潮红，眉眼间带着还未褪去的春色，领口下隐约露出几点可疑的痕迹。虽然使用抑制剂，但身上残留的情欲，如同罂粟般，散发着让Alpha躁动的气息。

Behind Zeke stood a young man about 20 years old. He was delicate and pretty, and his face was considerably flushed from the remnants of their activity. His collar revealed just enough to show some suspicious traces. Although he used a suppressant, the lust that remained on him was like opium, stirring alphas restlessly with his scent.

  尚可屏住呼吸，斜了泽卡一眼。这个花花大少，竟然带着Omega跑到竞技场来玩激情。更重要的是，这名Omega还不是他正在追求的里安。

Shang Ke held his breath and glanced at Zeke. This playboy young master, he had actually brought an omega to the arena to fuck. More importantly, this omega wasn’t Ryan who he was actually pursuing.

  “你们这是准备出去吃饭？”泽卡热情邀请道，“不如一起？”

“Are you going out for dinner?” Zeka warmly invited, “Why don’t we go together?”

  “不用了。”莱因冷声回绝，同时释放自己的信息素，将那名Omega的气息隔绝在尚可的感知之外。

“No need.” Rhine’s cold voice rebuffed him while releasing his pheromones, isolating the scent of the omega from Shang Ke’s senses.

  他揽着尚可，越过泽卡两人，径直走出竞技中心。

He guided Shang Ke by the waist and walked past Zeke and his partner, leaving the arena.

  上车后，尚可回想刚才的情景，面对Omega带着情欲的信息素，即便是自己，也难免有些把持不住，但莱因好像丝毫不受影响，身上的信息素极其稳定，如同绝缘体一般，毫不犹豫地将对方屏蔽。

After getting in the car, Shang Ke thought back to the scene just now. When being faced with the pheromone of an omega, even he had a bit of a hard time controlling himself. But Rhine acted as if it had no influence on him whatsoever. His pheromones remained steady and shielded him like an electrical screen.

  尚可又想起他对自己的“彬彬有礼”，暗自猜测他男人不会变成性冷淡了吧？

Shang Ke once again mulled over to his “courtesy” to him and pondered to himself. Could it be that his man had turned into an ice block?

  若换做其他人，尚可还不会多想，但对于一个移动荷尔蒙制造者，禁欲简直就是天方夜谭。

Shang Ke wouldn’t have thought much about it if he were someone else, but abstinence was simply out of the question for a mobile hormone maker.

  所以，他某方面的能力真的出问题了？

So, was something really wrong with a certain limb?

  尚可不由得向他投去一个“即使你再也无法崛起我也绝对不会抛弃你”的深情眼神。

Shang Ke couldn’t help but cast Rhine a loving look, “I will never abandon you even if you can never stand again.”

  莱因：“……”

Rhine: “…”

  两人很快来到训练营地，进入莱因专用的训练室。

The two soon arrived at the training camp and entered the training room dedicated to Rhine.

  “你选一个？”莱因让尚可任意选择对战项目。

“You can choose one.” Rhine allowed Shang Ke to choose any one of the obstacles on the training list.

  尚可快速扫过，选了“竞速闪避”。

Shang Ke skimmed through it and chose “Obstacle Dodging.”

  所谓竞速闪避，就是在移动的场地上，一边奔跑，一边闪避虚拟障碍物。速度由慢及快，考验战士的体能、速度、移动视觉、敏捷度、平衡力以及身体协调能力等等。

Obstacle dodging was where one must dodge obstacles while racing through the training site. The speed would shift around from slow to fast to test the soldier’s physical capabilities, speed, perception, agility, balance, body coordination and so on.

  比赛开始的倒计时结束，莱因和尚可同时启动，在布满障碍物的虚拟空间中，动作灵活地腾挪跳跃。

At the end of the countdown, Rhine and Shang Ke both started to move. They nimbly jumped to and fro from various obstacles that appeared in the virtual training space.

  随着移动的速度越来越快，两人周围出现了无数道残影，如幽灵一般，诡异而难以捉摸。

As their speed grew faster and faster, numerous afterimages appeared around them like ghosts. The scene looked strange and elusive.

  “快来，少将的训练室启动了竞技模式！”训练室外，一名士兵兴奋地喊道。

“Come over here, Major General’s training room has started competition mode!” Outside the training room, a soldier shouted excitedly.

  附近的人立刻围过来，向系统提出观战申请，不过五秒便获得了允许权限，因为莱因并没有设置隐藏，所以只要有人申请就会通过。

Nearby people immediately gathered around and applied to the System to watch the competition. In not even five seconds, they were given permission since Rhine did not set it on private mode so anyone could apply to watch it.

  屏幕亮起，众人只看到重重虚影，在快速移动的障碍中，飞跃驰骋。

The screen lit up, and the viewers saw afterimages that jumped and moved through the obstacles.

  “天啊，已经超过30分钟了。”竞速闪避每5分钟进阶一次，普通士兵最多坚持15分钟。

“Oh my god, it’s been over 30 minutes.” Obstacle Dodging would become harder every five minutes. An average soldier could last only fifteen minutes at most.

  30分钟以上，绝对可以称得上变态级别了。

Anything over thirty and the person was at an abnormal level.

  “与少将大人比赛的人是谁？要不要这么牛？”

“Who is the person competing against Sir? Do they need to be so strong?”

  莱因拥有这样的成绩还能理解，但另外那人竟然可以与他旗鼓相当，简直让人难以置信。

It was understandable for Rhine to have such an achievement, but it was unbelievable that someone could match him. 

  “会不会是泽卡？”

“Could it be Zeke?”

  “不可能，他今天和美人约会去了。”

“Impossible. He went on a date with a beauty today.”

  “我们营地还有这种厉害角色？”

“We still have someone so strong in our camp?”

  “你们是不是忘了一个人？”

“Haven’t you guys forgotten someone?”

  “谁？”

“Who?”

  “菲尔墨少校。”

“Lieutenant Filmore.”

  莱因眼神闪亮，飞扬的发丝洒落一颗颗晶莹的汗珠，久违的畅快淋漓，让人浑身热血沸腾。

Rhine’s eyes were bright and his flying hair glistened with beads of sweat. It’s been a long time since he last felt so carefree and his blood was boiling all over.

  再快一点，再快一点！

Faster, faster!

  他整个人都沉浸在竞技的快感中，充满战意的信息素毫无顾忌的释放，汗水将他浸透，紧致的肌肉，透着强大的劲力，如同挣脱了枷锁，自由而狂放。

His whole body was immersed in the pleasure of competition. Pheromones full of fighting spirit were released without scruple. Sweat soaked his entire body, his tight muscles bursting with power freely demonstrated themselves as if he was throwing off his chains.

  这时，莱因的瞳孔猛然收缩，身边的人在他的压制下奋起反击，一股熟悉而充满诱惑的信息素扑面而来，瞬间点燃了他的欲望，从未有过的快感席卷全身。

At this time, Rhine’s pupil suddenly contracted, and the person next to him fought back under his suppression. A familiar and seductive pheromone swept over his face, instantly igniting his desire and flooding his whole body with unprecedented pleasure.

  莱因骤然顿住身形，任由障碍物撞击在他身上，随即传来系统宣告“挑战失败”的声音。

Rhine suddenly stopped and let the obstacles hit him. Then the system’s voice declared, “challenge failed”.

  尚可也停下来，扬了扬湿漉漉的头发，眼中神采奕奕，兴奋地对着对莱因喊道：“我赢了！”

Shang Ke also stopped, raised his wet hair, with eyes sparkling. He shouted excitedly to Rhine, “I won!”

    莱因对他的喊声毫无反应，垂着头，静静伫立在场地中间。

Rhine did not respond to his shouts, hanging his head and standing quietly in the middle of the field.

  尚可一脸疑惑地走过去，偏头问：“莱因，你……”

Shang Ke walked over with a puzzled face and asked with a lowered head, “Rhine, you …”

  话音未落，尚可便感觉自己整个人被对方的信息素所包裹，丝丝缕缕的信息素如同一条条腾蛇，在他身上四处游走，火热的气息，滑过他的皮肤，顺着他的双腿，一点点探入他的穴口。

Before he could finish, Shang Ke felt the other’s pheromones wrapping around him. It was like a snake slithering around him, hot and heavy, as it slid over his skin, along up his legs and into his entrance.

  尚可下意识想要合拢双腿，却依然阻挡不了这股信息素的入侵。

Shang Ke subconsciously wanted to fold his legs, but still couldn’t stop the pheromone invasion.

  莱因缓缓抬起头，一步步走到尚可近前，定定地望着他。两人的身体紧紧贴在一起，几乎能感觉到彼此的热度。

Rhine slowly raised his head and walked slow steps to Shang Ke’s side, looking at him steadily. The two people’s bodies tightly stuck together, almost feeling one another’s heat.

  莱因低下头，轻啄他的眼，他的鼻，他的唇……扯开他的衣扣，拉下他裤头……一直向下……

Rhine lowered his head and pecked at Shang Ke’s eyes, nose, lips… He tore open his buttons, and pulled down his trousers … all the way down …

  尚可全身紧绷，望着单膝跪在他身前的男人，大脑一片昏沉。

Shang Ke was tense all over ,and he looked at the man kneeling in front of him on one knee. His brain was in a daze.

  随着越来越深入的接触，强烈的情欲将两人的理智焚烧殆尽。尚可不知何时被压倒在地，原本探入体内的信息素被更加坚硬火热的物体所替代，并且开始激烈的冲击。

With more and more contact, strong passion burned up the two men’s reason. Shang Ke was overwhelmed and pinned to the ground at an unknown time. The pheromone that had originally inserted inside him was replaced by a harder and hotter object that began to fiercely pound into him.

 尚可在男人如同野兽般的攻击下，不受控制地发出低哑的呻吟。

Shang Ke groaned uncontrollably under the attack of the man who was like a wild animal.

  汗水浸湿了两人的衣物，火热的躯体纠缠碰撞。

Their clothes were drenched with sweat, and their hot bodies entangled and collided with each other.

  尚可的上衣敞开，裤子被扔到一边，两条修长而均匀的腿攀在莱因腰间。

Shang Ke’s shirt was pulled open open, his trousers were thrown aside, and his two slender legs were hiked around Rhine’s waist.

  莱因身上的衣物只有些微凌乱，望着尚可的眼神极具侵略性，配合腰身的节奏，每一次都顶至最深……

Rhine’s clothes were only slightly messy, and the way he was gazing at Shang Ke was very intense, his hips similarly moving in an aggressive rhythm that allowed him to reach the deepest part every time …

  “兰斯洛少将怎么突然停下来了？”训练室外，士兵们见到因为比赛结束而静止的屏幕，纷纷露出疑惑之色。

“Why did Major General Lancelot suddenly stop?” Outside the training room, the soldiers looked confused when they saw the still screen after the match.

  “大概是不想比了？”

“He probably didn’t want to compete anymore?”

  “39分钟，已经非常厉害了，我现在就想知道和少将大人比赛的是不是菲尔墨。”

“Thirty-nine minutes is already amazing. Now I just want to know if the one competing against him was Filmore.”

  “我也是！”

“Me too!”

  “同上。”

“What he said.”

  士兵们兴致盎然地等在训练室外，结果左等右等都不见人出来，不免有些纳闷。

The soldiers were waiting outside the training room with great interest. But in the end, no one came out no matter how they waited, which made them wonder.

  “这都40分钟了，怎么还不出来？”士兵们抱怨着。

“It’s been forty minutes, why hasn’t anyone come out yet?” The soldiers complained.

  又过去一个小时，训练室的大门依然紧闭。  

Another hour passed and the door of the training room was still closed.

两个小时后，士兵们吃完晚饭，还是不见动静。

Two hours later, the soldiers had finished their dinner and still nothing happened.

  三个小时、四个小时……直至士兵们失去兴趣，不再关注。

Three hours, four hours … until the soldiers lost interest and stopped paying attention.
