After Breaking Up, I Married the General-Chapter 165 - 164: Staying on the unknown planet

Chapter 165: Chapter 164: Staying on the unknown planet
x x x x x
While the Federation finally escaped its dire situation because of Ryzel, Ryzel and Layton were also leaving as usual even after ten days of landing on the unknown planet they were on.
And after clinging to Layton for five days, Ryzel finally woke up without feeling that he needed to be with Layton without any distance at all.
So, the first thing that Ryzel said after waking up wasn’t to greet Layton, who was embracing him, but, "This is great! I’m finally feeling like my usual self."
"That’s good," Layton said while initiating their morning kiss, and of course Ryzel responded to it.
He was already used to responding to Layton’s morning kisses, which would always lead to their morning sessions—something that, according to Layton, was a very good way to start their day.
And Ryzel could also agree that it really was very good.
When they were in the Federation, both of them were busy, so they would often only have morning sessions on weekends since Layton always took the same breaks as him.
But after arriving on the planet they were currently on, both of them weren’t busy because Layton still didn’t have anything to do, and Ryzel, who had wanted to always stick to Layton, also wasn’t that eager to do any morning research.
So in the mornings, they would always have more sessions before eating breakfast.
Sometimes, when they were really into it and they knew they were going to have a longer time in bed, they would even just drink nutrient solution first.
After their sensual kiss, Layton pulled him onto his lap while he leaned on the headboard and said, "But does that mean you don’t want to stay in my embrace any longer?"
"I still want to," Ryzel said, putting his arms on Layton’s shoulders and giving him a peck on the lips.
"But I think it’s a bit absurd that I actually felt like clinging to you for the past few days—and I really did it.
Aside from going to the bathroom, I’ve almost always been in your arms or you were holding my hands.
Now that I’m thinking straight, I think it’s still okay to stay in your arms when you and I don’t have anything to do, but to do that even when I’m researching or when you’re just cooking—I think that’s a big inconvenience.
Even though I don’t think you thought it was inconvenient holding me in your arms even if you have something to do, because my weight is indeed negligible to you...
I still think that that’s being too much.
And more importantly, the research amount I’ve done in the past five days of clinging to you was obviously not the usual amount I could do.
My efficiency has certainly been reduced while staying with you even when researching.
So, from now on it’s better for me to just be alone during my research time so that I can do more. Of course, you can continue staying in the room to watch, but stay farther from me so I won’t be disturbed."
"You said you still want to stay in my arms but you don’t want me beside you when you’re doing research? Isn’t that contradictory?
Isn’t it good staying beside me even while doing research? We still have a lot of time to stay here, so even if your progress isn’t fast, it won’t be a problem at all."
"It isn’t contradictory at all. I can still stay in your arms and let you carry me around if I’m not doing research, since we’re the only ones here in the tent anyway.
However, you should really stay away from me during my research time. Your intentions for staying with me during my research weren’t pure anyway."
In the past five days that Ryzel was clinging to Layton, whenever Layton was hugging his waist while he was doing research, his hands would almost always begin wandering around after he did two or three hours of work.
So for the past five days, Ryzel had actually only been doing his research for an hour in the morning if they’d had too long sessions, and then only two or three hours in the afternoon because Layton’s hands would start wandering at that time.
So his efficiency was clearly reduced because of it. He didn’t mind having more time with Layton because they weren’t in a rush to find anything because they were still waiting for Storm’s recovery.
However, he still wanted to at least have five or six hours of research time, not just three or four hours.
Layton chuckled and said, "You’re just too irresistible, so my hands can’t help but wander around."
"I know I am," Ryzel said while holding his transparent criss-cross shirt, "but you’ve been dressing me up with these types of clothes, so of course I’ve become more irresistible in your eyes.
So I think I should just wear my normal clothes when I’m doing my research so you’ll have less reason to be seduced by me."
"Okay, I’ll agree to that, but even if you’re not wearing anything seductive, your presence is still as irresistible as always."
Ryzel chuckled and said, "Then you should just forbear a bit more."
"By the way, I also have to at least have five or six hours of research."
"That’s okay too. But just like in the Federation, you should only work on your research for five days, and the remaining two days are just for the two of us to spend together."
"Okay, that’s good for me too."
"Then that’s settled. So to celebrate—and to check if you’re still really willing to stay in my arms—we should start your first day of break today," Layton said, and started kissing him on the lips without giving him time to respond.
But Ryzel was also fine with having two days of break after returning to his usual self before starting his research again, so he just wrapped his arms around Layton’s neck and opened his mouth to welcome Layton in.
