Reincarnated In A Shitty Love Game

A hand wiped his mouth carefully. “Xia, were you hurt? Did you bite your tongue?” Long whispered with a frown. He too glanced around at the weird world they had landed in, especially at the weirdly dressed little kid.

“kid, where is this place?” he said as he helped his lover stand up.

The kid gasped and dropped the rainbow swirly thing. “Stanger danger!” he shouted and hid behind the small stool he was sitting on.

Swiftly xia picked up the rainbow swirly thing and sniffed it. It had a mild fruity scent and was a very sweet aroma as well. Licking his lips, he brought it close to his mouth.

“Stop it!” Long held his hands and stopped him. He took the rainbow swirly thing from him and sniffed it vigorously. ‘There is no poison here but.....’ he peered at the few sand particles stuck on it. “This is not edible anymore,”

“What, but it’s still intact,” Xia cried and tried to pluck it from his hands.

Long lifted his hands high so that his lover cannot reach the contaminated food. “Xia, it has been licked by him.....” he gestured to the hiding kid, “it’s not edible anymore.”

.....

Xia pouted and pinched him. “But I’m hungry! Give it to me. I will clean and eat,” he whined continuously.

The kid that was watching this hesitantly crawled out from behind. He approached them and held out another rainbow swirly thing. “Here.....it’s new,” he said in a soft voice.

Xia happily received it and put it in his mouth, but the thing did not taste sweet at all. He gasped. “It’s not sweet at all!”

“You...you have to remove the cover,” the kid whispered with a blush.

Xia blinked. He twisted the thing. It was extremely shiny in the size of his palm, but he was not able to see any paper cover on it. “But there is no paper cover on it,” he whispered with a frown.

The kid chuckled out loud. He gestured for him to get low, so Xia squatted next to him. The kid took the sweet from him and unwrapped the plastic cover. “Uncle, you are so weird, there was a plastic cover on it,” he said with a smile.

Xia watched him, mouth agape. He picked up the peeled plastic and peered at it. ‘This transparent thing was covering it. What sorcery is this?’

Long took it from his hand and sniffed it as well. The transparent thing did not have any smell. He tried pulling it softly and the transparent thing gave away. “plasti—c? What is it made of?” he inquired the little kid.

The kid blushed again and hid behind xia. “I don’t—know, but I think it’s made of plastic,” the kid mumbled.

“plasti—c is made with plastic? Interesting,” Long mumbled.

While he kept twisting and turning the little transparent sheet, xia already started gnawing at the rainbow swirl. “What is this called,” he shoved the half eaten sweet.

“it’s a lollipop and you have to lick it,” the kid gestured to him to lick it.

Xia glanced at him curiously and licked the sweet. “It tastes the same,” he whispered. Since it didn’t make any difference, he started biting into the hard candy. “Where are we by the way?”

“umm in c city” the kid whispered while glancing at them curiously. “Uncles, are you cosplaying? You look good,” he whispered with flushed cheeks.

“C city? What is that?” Xia whispered whist crunching the sweet treat.

Long glanced at him and frowned. “What is a Cos—pay?”

The little kid was overwhelmed by their unending of questions. Sighing, he sat down next to them on the grass and started explaining. “It’s when you dress like anime character or manga characters. I have a friend who is obsessed with ‘Bleach’. I mean I love it too but, I’m more into ‘sailor moon,’,.....” the kid kept ranting.

Long scratched his head. He could barely understand the kid’s dialect and strange words. It was baffling for him. He glanced at Xia, who was too busy eating the sweet called ‘lollipop’ to even listen to anything. ‘At least he is enjoying himself,’ he thought softly, caressing his head.

Noticing his gaze, Xia smirked at him and held out the stick candy. Long took a generous bite out of it. A sweet tangy taste exploded in his mouth. Long softly moaned and chewed loudly. “It tastes good,” he whispered.

“so what is ble-ch? Sailors? You have sailors, too. Is that why you are dressed so weirdly?” Xia whispered, wiping the sticky wetness out of his hands.

“Oh...she is a magic powered woman who saves people. Wait, I can show you her,” he shuffled through his pockets and brought out a small sticker. “She is my hero,” he whispered with a toothy grin.

Xia took the small sheet from him, glanced at it. A small painting of a blond woman in pink was painted vividly. But the woman’s eyes were abnormally large and her clothes were very skimpy. “She is also a cultivator? Hmmm usually strong cultivators do not feel cold no wonder she is dressed so little,” he whispered with a nod.

Long too took a peek at the woman’s painting. Noticing that she was dressed so little, he plucked it from Xia’s hands. “You should not have these paintings. Its improper.” He said and handed it to the kid.

“Thanks,” he took the sticker and put it back in his pocket. “What are your names, by the way? I am Sheng sheng,” he held out his hands.

Long nodded while Xia bowed at him and whispered, “I am called Xia che, a crayfish and he is Long Aotian, a dragon,”

“Xia! That was supposed to be a secret!” Long exclaimed, but seeing that the kid was not having any adverse reactions he calmed down. “you....you should keep it a secret,”

“Okey dokey.” sheng sheng cheerfully held Xia’s hands. “But how are you a human if you are a crayfish? Aren’t you supposed to be red? I have eaten crayfish once it tasted okay, but ii prefer prawn,” he whispered with a thoughtful look.

Xia held his hands softly. Sheng’s hands were so small compared to his. ‘aww so cute,’ he thought and shuffled the kid’s hair. “Well, I am a blue crayfish, not red. I am human because it cultivated for thousands of years,”

“Thousands? How old are you, xia?” sheng whispered with his eyes wide open.

“Two thousand, to be exact. And this guy is five thousand years old,” Xia cupped Long’s face and pecked him.

“And we are lovers,” Long added.

Sheng sheng nodded thoughtfully. “Same sex marriage is common this time.” He gestured for them to come closer. “My uncle has a male lover too. He secretly went to L.A and got married.” He whispered close to their ears.

“L.A? what is that?” Long whispered. He too wanted to get married to his lover, and this L.A place sounded like a good idea.

“It’s a country. Its sunny and beautiful, not biting cold like home. I too want to get married there,” sheng whispered with a pout.

Xia leaned closer and whispered, “then you have a male lover too?”

“No! I am underage. But I do have someone I like,” He whispered with a blush.

Xia nodded thoughtfully. “I see, when you are a thousand years old you can also get together with your lover.”

Sheng gasped. “No, I won’t live that long. I would probably marry when I am in college.” He said wiggling around. His face flushed red from all the attention he was getting.

“hmm, that’s sad but I have something for you,” xia went through his ring and brought out a small bag full of stuffs. He opened it up to reveal a small book, a small bottle of pills and crystals. “This is a basic cultivation book, some spirit crystals, some spirit water. If you want to live long, then you can follow this practice,”

Sheng accepted it with a small smile. His mother called him from far. “My mum is calling me. I will get going now,” he shouted and rushed to his mother with the small bag.

“What is this?” his mother whispered.

Sheng smirked and opened it. “Its cultivation book and sprit crystals and spirit water and..... that uncle gave it,” he pointed to xia and Long.

His mother glanced behind, but she did not see anyone there.

“Okay, okay, your imagination is very vivid,” she chuckled. So they both went back to their car all the while sheng kept glancing back at Xia and waving.
