The Administrator at the Paranormal Farm

·

Xue Nuo was the perfect idol in show business.

He debuted at sixteen and immediately reached the top. Gentle and modest, he was rarely even involved in a scandal...

·

But after ten years as an idol, he was physically and mentally exhausted.

To treat his chronic insomnia and anxiety, he took someone's advice and went to recuperate at a remote lakeside farm.

·

The farm was beautiful, with fresh air.

Life far from the world had done a wonderful job of healing his heart.

·

Until one day, the back of his neck began to tingle and swell for no apparent reason.

Frowning, he endured the itching and numbness, touched it with a fingertip, and brought it to his nose.

·

A cloyingly sweet, almost overripe scent rushed into his nostrils.

Like the juice of a perfectly ripe fruit bursting open, or the thickest honey deep inside a hive.

·

So sweet...

·

Strange things began happening one after another.

At first, moths simply kept flying into the farmhouse's floor-to-ceiling windows and dying.

·

At breakfast, a butterfly landed on his slender fingertip.

It laid eggs with a soft rustle.

·

Gradually,

his cute, harmless, fluffy livestock seemed to undergo some kind of change, too...

·

The tip of his finger, unconsciously suckled by a lamb as he fed it.

The pairs of red eyes staring at him from the pigeon coop.

His beloved big dog knocking him to the ground, its licking leaving a tingling numbness on the back of his neck.

·

And then, when he woke up the next morning...

The damp sheets were tainted with the dark scent of lake water.

·

[Mommy!]

They called to him affectionately.

·

Entangling, sticky, disgusting, spiderweb-like gazes.

They held him fast.

·

[Please lay eggs for me, ]

·

"Don't be afraid."

Fortunately, his boyfriend came to his rescue at the crucial moment.

·

Xue Nuo found a brief moment of peace in his arms.

His boyfriend knew how to brew herbal tea to repel insects, held his trembling hand all night, and kissed the back of his neck again and again, sucking away the bothersome honey that kept oozing out.

·

Until one rainy night...

Xue Nuo woke from a feverish haze to find his boyfriend, who should have been fast asleep, pressing an ear against his swollen belly.

·

"Shh..."

His boyfriend held a finger to his lips as he spoke to Xue Nuo's belly, his pupils shimmering with strange, layered compound eyes.

·

", Don't wake Mommy."

Their Nest (Prison Arc)

Xue Nuo was the perfect idol in show business.

He debuted at sixteen and immediately reached the top. Gentle and modest, he was rarely even involved in a scandal...

·

Who could have guessed that when he opened his eyes, he would find himself in a prison?

He had been assigned by the government as a Guide.

His job was to soothe these S-Rank Sentinels.

·

As a gentle, conscientious Guide, he naturally couldn't bear to see the Sentinels suffer.

But...

Could they please keep work and personal life separate!

·
