"Who's coming again?" Li Bai wiped his hands after washing the dishes.

Kai Feng answered him while he moved his queen to eat Xiang Lian Jun's knight, "My pals, 01 and 02. 02 is Mu Cheng's husband so we will buy his favorite cake later." Xiang Lian Jun moved his bishop and ate one of the pawns before muttering 'Checkmate'.

The man groaned and accused Xiang Lian Jun for cheating. Li Bai and Xiang Lian Jun looked at him uninterestingly. Kai Feng pouted, "I know I suck at chess, but I can suck a good h—" Kai Feng dodged the slippers that Li Bai threw out before looking back with a smirk.

"Can I stay here for a bit?" Mu Cheng suddenly appeared by the living room, carrying a big box with scissors. Li Bai helped him settle in the middle. Xiang Lian Jun took the colored papers and looked at Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng gave him a scissor, "It's for a surprise."

02 was once a straight man. He lived a normal life in military where he grew up. He was a child of war; no parents, no relatives. The kind military commander took him home and raised him like his own. Normal people fear gunshots and bombs, but 02 like them. He felt a thrill in his heart whenever he touches weapons, his adopted father knew he would be a good soldier. Good soldier is an understatement, he became one of the youngest general in the country.

When the Metamorphosis happened, he was also one of the volunteers as a sacrifice. He didn't really want to die nor was he afraid to die, he was curious. 02 never expected that all of the sacrificial humans were reborn as a new human race called 'Biantai', he felt that it was interesting that they would gain 'emotions'.

During the first raid against the human race in the East Southern Base, he kidnapped humans as usual when one of them caught his eye. Light brown hair that reached behind the ears, pale lips that open and close, alluring eyes that filled with fear and curiosity; he wondered what is it like to be in his gaze.

Humans were kept in the dark. They thought that Biantais eat humans and treat them like play things. Because of that, the human cried very hard until he passed out. 02 unconsciously reached out to catch the human from falling. When his hands touched the other's skin, he suddenly felt panic in his heart. He was anxious that something would happened to the human.

For the first time, 02 took care of someone other than himself. He watched over the human and never left its side. When 03 (This is Kai Feng, before Xiang Lian Jun became 03) did a check up on the human, 03 noticed his anxiousness and asked him if the human is his Eve. That's when 02 realized that his Eve is a man. He became extremely worried, he wasn't homosexual nor he had any knowledge about it.

03 thought it was funny so he taught everything he knew to 02. He even gave them lube and a box of condom. Kai Feng patted 02, "But don't scare him away. Humans are fragile so you should be patient with your Eve."

Mu Cheng woke up in a soft bed in an unfamiliar room. He remembered that he was 'abducted' by the enemies and quickly ran to the door to escape. It was weird because nobody stopped him and the environment is extremely calm and happy. He can see everyone is smiling and doing daily routines like nothing is wrong. The houses are built with gardens surrounding them, there is even a fountain by the center. Isn't he in the Biantai's lair? Isn't this place like the ideal society that every politician promises people off?

But he didn't stop running, he wondered around. When he stopped by a corner, he saw someone he knew— his ex-girlfriend.

"Goodness, why are you disheveled?" The woman gave him water and let him sit by the porch.

"I was abducted by a Biantai, let's escape together." Mu Cheng grabbed the woman's hands and tried to run. The woman laughed and stopped him. "I guess you still didn't know what's up. We are indeed abducted, but they bear no malice."

"But—" Before he could talk, 02 appeared behind him with a dark face. Mu Cheng was scared to death that he forgot to breath. His ex-girlfriend was shocked to see one of the most powerful Biantai and realized what was happening. She awkwardly laugh before speaking for Mu Cheng, "Sir must explain first for Mu Cheng. Please don't be harsh on him."

02 glanced at the woman before nodding. "En." He didn't let Mu Cheng react as he took the man and carried him on his shoulder. He ignored the bespectacled man's protests; his mind repeating a name, 'Mu Cheng'— without sincerity.

Li Bai was stunned when he found out that the 02 and Mu Cheng are both straight. It turns out, two straight men can also bent each other huh? But Mu Cheng's playboy attitude didn't fade away, just suppressed. He even expanded his taste to men. Li Bai suddenly felt pity for 02.

Xiang Lian Jun looked up. "02 explained what our objectives are and thought that Mu Cheng understood." To which Kai Feng continued, "He understood but he didn't accept 02 as his Adam. He denied every effort and went to flirt outside."

Mu Cheng coughed to get their attention, "Is it good to gossip about me right in my face?"

The three ignored him, leaving Mu Cheng in his own indignation. Kai Feng started to laugh, "For the first time, 02 got angry and dragged him back to their house. Mu Cheng didn't got out of the house for many days. When we saw him again, he was glowing and smiling like an idiot. I was really bitter since I haven't found my Eve, so I always report to 02 whenever Four-eyes flirted with others."

Li Bai turned to Mu Cheng, "Then why did you accept 02?"

Mu Cheng grinned, "When you accept them as your Adam, time will stop for you and you will live longer like Biantai's. For short, you will never look old~" he paused, then smirked at Li Bai. "You don't need skin care nor other skirmish to look forever young, you just need to have 'pa, pa, pa!' With your husband."

Li Bai gasped, "That awesome?" Xiang Lian Jun and Kai Feng felt Li Bai's burning gaze; the two acted like they didn't notice anything.

Author's notes:

It's funny that Mu Cheng's name fitted his character. Mu 无  as in 'without, not have' and Cheng 诚 meaning "sincere, honest, true". He lived his life as a playboy, but the only person he loved truly is 02.

'Pa, pa, pa!' Is an onomatopoeia for having sex. It mimics the sound of two skins slapping against each other.
