Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)

Mu Yuze glanced at the time and noticed that the visiting hour in the hospital had almost arrived. All the thought about investigation and Jia Molei’s boyfriend bounced off his mind only to be replaced with He Juan and He Juan alone. Heart racing, he sent the video clip to Kang Guanyu, thanked the security guard before leaving in haste.

When he arrived at the hospital, it was already close to six pm. The sky was still colored with the majestic hue of golden and purple, casting a gentle orange glow on the tall hospital building.

He intended to head straight to the ICU ward only to be intercepted by the nurse in the Pheromones Department. Ever since He Juan’s incident, everyone in the department knew that there was a pair of true mates under their care. They had literally become the hot topic of discussion during lunch and dinner break.

"He is not in the ICU ward anymore?" Mu Yuze asked, pleasantly surprised.

"That’s right, Mr. He’s condition has steadily improved since this morning and the doctor has agreed to move him out," the nurse elaborated with a smile. "Now, he has settled in the VIP ward at the behest of Doctor Tang, Doctor Jia and Doctor Su. Please follow me, Mr. Mu, I will take you there."

Mu Yuze nodded and trailed behind the nurse. He could not suppress the joy and delight in his heart upon hearing the good news. Juan-gege’s condition had improved significantly. Soon, he might even be discharged from the hospital! For Mu Yuze, nothing sounded better than this. Just recalling He Juan’s deranged state two days ago was enough to make his blood run cold. He did not want to see He Juan like that again. Ever. Most importantly, he did not want to see He Juan’s kind and gentle silver eyes be tinged with the crimson of violence again...

They walked past the hubbub in the lobby and rode the elevator to the sixteenth floor. Compared to the hustle and bustle in the general ward, the VIP ward could even be considered desolate. The ground was covered in soft carpet that muffled their footsteps, and the quality of the room could be seen from the dark-colored wooden door that looked luxurious at a glance.

A soft cough sounded nearby and they turned to see a man on a wheelchair facing the balcony. His shoulders looked so thin and delicate as he pressed a hand to his mouth, trying to suppress the coughing episode. His long hair poured over his shoulders, rendering Mu Yuze unable to see the man’s features clearly.

"Mr. Luo!" The nurse clearly recognized him and hastily went to inquire about his condition. "Are you okay? Why are you running out of your room again? You should have just rested properly inside!" She gently patted the man’s back and grumbled with an anxious tone. "How are you feeling? Do you need me to call a doctor?"

"No... there’s no need. Thank you. It’s just a little cough..." He raised his head and Mu Yuze could finally see him. It was a very pale and beautiful man with light brown eyes akin to molten honey. His entire body was shrouded in a sickly aura.

Perhaps realizing that someone was staring at him, the man tilted his head and met Mu Yuze’s gaze. Mu Yuze did not shy away and gave him a nod of acknowledgement, which the man returned with a faint smile.

"Ah!" The nurse finally remembered that she was supposed to bring Mu Yuze to his Alpha’s room. She hastily advised Mr. Luo to call the nurse if he was unwell and returned to Mu Yuze with an apologetic look. After that, she continued to lead Mu Yuze down the hallway. "Just now it’s our long-time patient, Mr. Luo. He has already been here for more than six months. Such a beautiful omega, it’s a pity that his health is ruined..." she shook her head sadly.

For some reason, Mu Yuze recalled the scene when their gazes collided earlier. Despite his poor health, those eyes had been brimming with light and vitality. So dazzling that people could not look away. It was the first time Mu Yuze had met a male omega beside himself and he could not resist his curiosity. Before he knew it, the question had slipped out of his mouth, "What happened to him?"

"Oh, I don’t really know the details, but I heard it’s a car accident," the nurse mused. "Hearsay he has been in a coma until recently."

Mu Yuze gave a noncommittal hum and soon threw this brief encounter to the back of his mind, especially when the nurse stopped at one particular door, saying, "Here we are."

Again, Mu Yuze’s heart started to race and his palms turned clammy as if this was the first time he was going to meet He Juan all over again. Unfortunately, the nurse did not notice his predicament and proceeded to knock on the door. When an answer sounded inside, she slid the door open and gestured at Mu Yuze with a grin. "Mr. He, look who is here to visit you!"

He Juan was leaning on the bed with a book in his hands. The sunset glow draped over him, making his loose long hair seem as if it was frayed with gold. When he heard the nurse’s voice, he raised his head and his eyes clashed with Mu Yuze’s in an instant. Mu Yuze watched as the Alpha’s eyes lit up with an insuppressible sense of joy and thrill, and a brilliant smile stretched across his attractive face. "Xiao Ze, you’re here!"

Mu Yuze’s heart abruptly seized in his chest and his throat felt choked up. It had only been a few hours, but why did it seem like he had not seen this person for half a lifetime? They said that absence made the heart fonder, and Mu Yuze understood it vividly when his gaze landed on He Juan right now. Just how could someone be so ethereal? That smile was so dazzling, so radiant as if he was staring at the sun itself. Even then, he was still unwilling to look away even for a bit.

Mu Yuze did not come to his senses until the nurse chimed in, "Then I will leave the two of you alone. Just press the button if you need something, okay?"

"Thank you, Miss Nurse." He Juan offered politely.

When the door closed behind them and Mu Yuze was still standing motionlessly as if he had lost his soul, He Juan let out a brief chuckle. He opened his arms and said in a teasing yet hopeful tone, "Care to give Gege a hug?"

That was all it needed to spur Mu Yuze into action. His feet gravitated toward He Juan as they always did, and when he was within range, He Juan wrapped an arm around his waist and tugged him closer, leaning his head on Mu Yuze’s bosom with a satisfied groan. "Precious, you have no idea how much I missed you... why do I feel like I haven’t seen you for years?"

Mu Yuze was startled, the tip of his ears rapidly turning crimson. That was just what he had been thinking about, and the fact that He Juan was also feeling the same... it sent a surge of electrifying pleasure down his spine. With an exhale, he let himself relax and wrapped his arms around his Alpha’s broad shoulders, his fingers weaving through the soft and silky locks.

"Gege..." just by having these solid arms around him, Mu Yuze felt like all of his stress and fatigue from the long day melted away like a layer of ice warmed by the gentle sunshine. He clutched onto He Juan tighter. "Gege, I missed you too..." he uttered in a barest of mumbles.
