After his best friend died unexpectedly, Chu Wen adopted his friend's younger brother.
But slowly, something seemed not right at home.
The ubiquitous sense of spying in the corner, the suffocating feeling of being entangled by tentacles while sleeping, and the vague and sweet smell in the air...
Every time he mentioned it, Bai Tingxun would always blink his eyes and say with a smile: "No, brother must be overthinking it."
Chu Wen could only comfort himself in this way.
Until one night in the middle of the night, he woke up from his sleep and heard the sound of sticky water coming from beside him.
He turned his head and saw Bai Tingxun kneeling on one knee beside his bed, holding his dead brother's face in his face. The tentacles behind him wrapped around Chu Wen's waist uncontrollably.
The aroma in the room became stronger and stronger. He leaned down and asked gently:
"Awen, do you like how I look like this?"
-
Chu Wen never knew that his old friend Bai Fuzhi and his younger brother were not human.
Their race is called Cortes, and they will only identify one partner throughout their lives.
Cortes will mark the identified partner. Once the mark is formed, the partner can smell his own scent and be gradually infected by this scent.
The Ctesi race itself is prone to restlessness and can only be soothed by the breath of its partner.
One night, Bai Fuzhi, who had returned from feigning death, pushed open the door of Chu Wen's room and couldn't wait to absorb the breath from his body.
But he saw his younger brother holding Chu Wen in his arms, with the tentacles spreading everywhere tightly wrapping him in the middle, and the tip of his nose buried in the back of Chu Wen's neck.
Hearing the voice, Bai Tingxun raised his head and looked at his "resurrected" brother, his crimson eyes curled up with a satisfied expression:
"Brother, the mark you planted on Awen before has been covered by me."
