Runaway Guide Chapter 80

Let's have another round of applause for A fan~ 👏👏👏

Klaire had dreamed countless times of Xi Wei throwing himself into his arms, but when he actually pressed him down and kissed him hard, Klaire’s brain crashed, and he couldn’t react for a moment.
—Xi Wei’s kissing me?
—Could it be this isn’t a dream?
He was in a daze for a moment. When he felt Xi Wei’s tongue entering his mouth and stirring around, Klaire finally got his reason back.
No matter the reason, Xi Wei had finally kissed him. This was absolutely real!
Xi Wei was pressing down on him, but his weight wasn’t much. The tongue in his mouth didn’t have too much method to the way it was moving, but it was precisely this kind of straightforward kiss that aroused him more than any technique-filled seduction.
Klaire’s body instantly reacted. He resisted the urge to lay Xi Wei down and eat him up clean, reached out with his right hand, and gently held Xi Wei’s supple waist. With his left hand, he cupped the back of Xi Wei’s head and pulled them closer, then opened his mouth and let Xi Wei besiege him unrestrictedly.
Klaire’s compliance and cooperation made Xi Wei’s whole body burn, and he deepened the kiss. The familiar taste of alpha pheromones on his lips made him want to indulge, so that he didn’t want to let go, and itched to take Klaire apart and eat him up.
Xi Wei’s kiss was undoubtedly hot and passionate, just like his frank and straightforward personality.
Klaire’s eyes were half-closed with pleasure.
He didn’t intend to wrest back control. He wanted to experience for himself Xi Wei’s hard-won passion.
The big beast pressed down on him, nibbling and biting him while kissing him for ages. A doting smile began to appear on Klaire's face, and he tenderly held Xi Wei’s waist tight, indulgently letting him run wild.
After Xi Wei, panting, had kissed him enough and moved back, Klaire considerately put out his tongue and lightly helped him lick clean the liquid remaining on his lips.
This made Xi Wei’s cheeks abruptly redden, and he glared at Klaire and said, “What are you cooperating for?”
Klaire blinked innocently. “Could it be you were hoping for me to struggle and resist?”
Xi Wei: “...”
Faced with his gentle gaze, Xi Wei couldn’t help his face reddening even more. He actually considerately reached out and wiped Klaire’s lips that were damp from kissing.
Klaire lightly grabbed Xi Wei’s hand, and said in a low voice, “Xi Wei, why did you kiss me?”
Xi Wei: “...”
When his pheromones were in a mess, after Klaire marked him, Xi Wei had asked Klaire the same question. At the time, Klaire’s reply had been: “I like you.”
Now this question had once again been placed in front of Xi Wei.
What was the best way to answer? Vexed, Xi Wei clutched his hair, thought for ages, and finally said simply and directly, “I just wanted to kiss you.”
“...” Klaire was stumped for words. Did this answer imply that Xi Wei was attracted to him?
When he thought of this, Klaire couldn’t help but say agitatedly, “Tell me the reason. I’m a man, not a beautiful woman, why would you suddenly want to kiss me?”
“...” Xi Wei’s cheeks tinged slightly red, and his eyes were particularly bright. He looked at Klaire and said very frankly, “I like you too. Klaire, it was only after you left that I discovered I simply couldn’t lose you. The feelings I have for you aren’t just those of a good friend or a good brother. You’re someone I really like, someone very important to me. No one can take your place in my heart. Even if you’re a man, it doesn’t matter. I’ve already gotten over it.”
Klaire: “...”
Hearing Xi Wei’s earnest confession, Klaire felt the urge to cry.
He’d waited two worlds for him, and he’d watched over him for two lifetimes. Every day, he’d been longing for Xi Wei to like him back. He didn’t expect that the day he’d been longing for had actually arrived!
Sincerity really could move mountains. For Xi Wei to be able to realize the truth like this, even if he had suffered wounds even worse than this, it was worth it!
Klaire gently took Xi Wei’s right hand, his fingers trembling from excitement. His voice was even a little choked. “Really? Xi Wei, you really like me?”
His right hand taken, Xi Wei could only use his left hand to gently stroke Klaire’s blond hair to comfort him. After he’d messed up his hair, he smiled and said, “What do you think? If I didn’t like you, would I take the initiative to kiss a man?”
“...” Klaire suddenly hugged Xi Wei tight, as tightly as if he wanted him to become part of himself.
To be able to hear these words come out of Xi Wei’s own mouth, Klaire felt that even if he died on the spot, it was all worth it.
No, this was just the beginning. Xi Wei had accepted him, and they still had a long road to walk together. He had to love Xi Wei properly. They would have lots of time to take care of each other, and they’d have lots of cute children as well.
Klaire’s head was full of wild thoughts. His arms tightened around Xi Wei.
Xi Wei didn’t resist, and quietly let him hug him. He gently caressed Klaire’s hair, saying seriously, “You’ve waited for me so long, it must’ve been very hard, right?”
Klaire smiled and shook his head. “I didn’t think it was hard.”
Wrapped up in his embrace, Xi Wei could rest his chin on Klaire’s head. Xi Wei affectionately rubbed Klaire’s head with his chin and said, “That won’t happen anymore. I won’t leave you again.”
—It wasn’t until they’d been parted by death that he found out how luxurious of a joy it was to have the person you loved by your side.
—This time he’d hold on to him tight, and he wouldn’t let go again.
From time to time, beautiful meteors glided past the window. The spaceship was flying at high speed towards the Lyra galaxy. The two men held each other tightly like this, listening to the fierce heartbeat coming from each other’s chest. Xi Wei suddenly felt completely at peace.
In the vast universe, humans were actually very insignificant.
Fortunately, Xi Wei had finally found someone he could put all his trust in.

Seeing his owner and the prince embracing and finally having a heart-to-heart, Bluestar was so moved he wanted to cry. Unfortunately, mechas didn’t have tears, so he could only fly a circle in the air and end up beside Egret, who was currently resting. He asked shyly, “Our owners are together; Egret, can I hold your hand?”
Egret said calmly, “I don’t have hands.”
“Turn into one then.” As he talked, Bluestar turned into a little blue hand, and took the initiative to reach out to Egret.
Egret turned and flew away. Bluestar brazenly followed him, and no matter where he went, that hand was always in front of Egret.
“...” Pestered until he couldn’t bear it, Egret could only helplessly turn into a hand and clasp him for a moment.
Bluestar flew wildly around in the room. “I held Egret’s hand ah ah ah ah, Owner, take charge for me, submit an application to the Mecha Association and let me marry Egret!”
In the middle of their embrace, Xi Wei and Klaire heard this, locked eyes, and started laughing.
Xi Wei glanced back at the little blue star dancing for joy and said, “Alright, I’ll take charge and marry you off to Egret.”
“Great, great!” After Bluestar spoke, he suddenly realized that something wasn’t right. “Why am I the one being married off? Wasn’t I the one taking him as my wife?”
Xi Wei gave Klaire a look, and he immediately said cooperatively, “It’s your good luck that Egret’s willing to take you as his wife, and you’re still not thanking Xi Wei?”
“Owner,” Egret said helplessly, “don’t joke around.”
Sensing that Egret wasn’t willing, Bluestar immediately corrected himself without integrity. “Okay okay, I’ll be Egret’s wife! We’ll hold a wedding right away, Owner, come be the witness. A mecha wedding doesn’t have to be as bothersome as the human kind, let’s just leave out the marking procedure!”
Egret: “...”
This Bluestar’s AI had definitely caught a virus!
Xi Wei thought that Bluestar was pretty cute, and very honest besides. When Klaire lied, Bluestar would actually expose his owner on his own initiative. If he subdued this mecha first, afterwards Klaire would have to obediently listen to him too.
Just as Xi Wei was counting his chickens before they were hatched, Klaire seemed to see through him. He smiled and moved closer to him, saying in Xi Wei’s ear, “Relax, in the future, Bluestar and I will both be yours.”
Xi Wei smiled and pinched Klaire’s face, pleased. “That’s more like it!”
“Bluestar and I are both so obedient, how about a kiss as a reward?” Klaire asked.
“Well…” Before Xi Wei had time to object, Klaire pulled him into his arms and kissed him.
Unlike Xi Wei’s straightforward and passionate kiss, Klaire’s kiss was very gentle, but extremely skillful. Xi Wei was soon kissed until his legs felt weak and his mind was all blank.

After journeying through the night, the Morningstar Corps fleet finally reached the Lyra galaxy at dawn.
“Owner, we’ve reached our destination, the Lyra galaxy!” Bluestar reported.
“Prepare to land.” Klaire let go of Xi Wei and stood up from his seat. He tidied his clothes, only to find that Xi Wei had been too forceful. Not only was his shirt wrinkled, all the buttons on his uniform had been torn off…
Klaire gave Xi Wei a helpless look, and could only go to the lounge to find a new outfit to change into.
With a calm expression, Xi Wei went about his own business tidying his clothes, then followed Klaire out the door.
When the Morningstar Corps officers saw their general coming out with the eldest prince, they immediately gave Major General Klaire an orderly salute.
Everyone looked up, and saw that there was an obvious love mark on Major General Klaire’s neck—uh, to be accurate, it was a bite mark, the imprints of teeth were particularly distinct.
The lieutenant thought with some distress, the eldest prince deserved being called a beast, he didn’t know if the general had gotten hurt being bitten by him!
The two alpha guards who’d already gotten married had different thoughts. It must have been pretty fierce just now, the general must have pressed down the eldest prince and taken no small advantage of him. Was it that he’d wanted to mark the prince, and then the prince, resisting, had taken a bite out of him?
Everyone looked at Major General Klaire with sympathy or pity, and their minds filled in countless scenes of Klaire getting bullied by the big beast.
Klaire, on the other hand, had a calm expression, and seemed like he was pretty happy he could have Xi Wei bite him. He held Xi Wei’s hand and walked down the long hatchway. He smiled and said, “Your little sister should’ve come to the space station to meet us. Let’s go down first and then talk.”
“Okay.” Xi Wei walked out of the hold entrance beside Klaire, then rode Bluestar down to the Lyra galaxy space station.
Sure enough, Princess Sia had come to meet them with her alpha.
A convoy made up of more than a dozen hovercars was lined up neatly on either side. Sia came down from the largest hovercar and walked quickly up to Xi Wei, saying, “Big Brother.”
She gave Xi Wei and Klaire’s joined hands a glance. Xi Wei noticed his little sister’s gaze and immediately drew back his hand. He rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, and said, “Sia, Father said you were ill. Exactly what happened?”
Sia smiled slightly and said softly, “Big Brother, rest assured, there’s nothing much wrong with my health. Father was just looking for an excuse to send you to the Lyra galaxy. He had us come and pick you up. As for the exact reason, I’m not too clear either.”
Xi Wei frowned. Klaire encircled his shoulders gently and said, “Don’t be anxious, go back with the second princess first and then talk about it.”
After saying this, he handed Xi Wei over to Sia.
Xi Wei looked back at him and asked, “You’re not going?”
“I still have other duties.” Klaire looked back at his two subordinates and said, “You two stay with Xi Wei and protect him well.”
“Yes, General!”
These two alphas had followed Xi Wei around the whole time on planet Rennes. Xi Wei had long since gotten familiar with them. At that time, he’d still been hoping for Klaire not to come bother him. Now, seeing that Klaire was about to leave, Xi Wei actually felt a little reluctant for him to go.
Xi Wei grabbed Klaire’s hand and said, “What duties? Are they dangerous?”
The earnest expression this guy was looking at him with was so attractive! Faced with the heavy reluctance in those clear eyes, if it wasn’t for all the people around them, Klaire was really itching to hug Xi Wei immediately and give him a deep kiss!
“They’re not dangerous.” Klaire smiled slightly, moved close to his ear and whispered, “Even if it’s just for you, I wouldn’t let anything happen to me…”
Xi Wei interrupted him. “If you dare to let anything happen to yourself, just try it!”
Klaire hurried to say, “I absolutely don’t dare, I’ll definitely come back intact to see you, don’t worry.”
Actually, Xi Wei really wanted to go with Klaire. They’d been separated for so long, and as soon as they met, they had to part again. In his heart, he really couldn’t bear for him to go. But Xi Wei knew that his father definitely had a reason for arranging things like this. As the eldest prince, he absolutely couldn’t drop the ball right now, and he couldn’t hold Klaire back.
—He loved him, so he had to trust in his decision.
Faced with Klaire’s gentle gaze, Xi Wei nodded firmly and lightly patted Klaire’s shoulder. “Go then, take care of yourself.”
“You too.” Klaire reached out and hugged Xi Wei tight.
After the two men hugged and said goodbye, Klaire turned resolutely and flew Bluestar back into the Morningstar mothership.
He still had some important tasks he had to complete, and he absolutely couldn’t make a mistake.
This was an important period. They were separating temporarily only for the sake of spending more time together.
Klaire looked at Xi Wei’s figure on the space station growing smaller and smaller on the big screen in his cockpit, and he couldn’t help a smile rising up to the corners of his mouth.
—The next time they met, maybe they could get rid of all the external factors and be together for real.
—Xi Wei, you have to wait for me to come back!
