A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 180: A Long-Awaited Night

His reaction must have been different from usual, because his mother looked confused.

Then she started talking rapidly.

At that moment, Albe could only think of one thing.

Just die already.

"Th-that defective child could never be mine!" she shouted. "His white hair... and a child who can’t even use magic. That can’t possibly be my child! A child between me and that man could never be like that... I am that man’s wife!"

"...Where did you take him?" Albe asked again quietly.

Defective?

Compared to you, you are the true failure—as a person and as a parent.

"W-well... there was a merchant visiting at the time," she said. "I gave the child to him. Even something so useless made him happy. Those lowly creatures must really enjoy his simple lives."

The moment Albe heard those words, something inside his head snapped.

...

Meanwhile, Lian continued to grow peacefully and healthily.

By the time her neck became strong enough to hold up her head, Qiong Xing could finally leave the hideout for short periods and leaving Lian in Elias and the others’ care.

Of course, he could only be away for about half a day.

Compared to beastman children, Lian’s development was considered slow, which worried some people. But for a human child, everything was normal and there was no problem.

"Tomorrow is a day off!" Leander said happily.

"...Yes, that’s right," Qiong Xing replied.

It was a secret, but Qiong Xing thought Leander looked exactly like a child excited the day before summer vacation.

Leander hugged him tightly as he said it.

Qiong Xing gave a small, helpless smile but returned the hug.

However, Leander’s arms tightened even more.

"Um... Leander? I can’t move—ah!"

"Alright, let’s go!"

Wait, what?

Go where?

Before Qiong Xing could even ask, Leander lifted him up and carried him away.

"W-wait a moment. What is this about? Where are we going... could it be..."

The moment Qiong Xing saw a familiar door, he immediately panicked.

"Leander! Leander, wait! Lian is... Lian is still here!"

"Elias and Joa said they’ll watch her until tomorrow," Leander replied casually. "Besides, she’s already sleeping. From now on, it’s husband and wife time."

What should Qiong Xing do?

He had completely let his guard down.

It wasn’t that he disliked being with Leander and the others.

So technically, he could just let things happen.

But unlike Qiong Xing who naturally had a calm and indifferent personality, Leander was extremely passionate.

Considering how long Leander had been forced to hold back while they were raising Lian, this situation could not be welcomed so easily.

Maybe Qiong Xing should try to make it lighter...

No, maybe avoid it completely...

"L-Leander? Um... about that..."

"No refusing," Leander said immediately.

"..."

That option was gone.

"I held back for a long time," Leander continued. "Don’t you think I deserve a reward?"

Qiong Xing knew that already.

Ever since before Lian was born, Leander had been holding himself back a lot.

Even during his mating season, he had endured far more than usual.

He had done all of that for Qiong Xing and Lian.

If Qiong Xing made him endure any longer, there was no telling when Leander might finally lose control and attack him.

"...Alright," Qiong Xing said with a quiet sigh. "But if I can’t move afterward, please carry him properly."

"Leave it to me!"

Honestly, Qiong Xing would have preferred to hear Leander promise to go easy.

But expecting that from Leander was probably impossible.

Giving up, Qiong Xing relaxed his body and Leander happily carried him into the isolation room.

"Let’s bathe together," Leander said cheerfully.

Before Qiong Xing could even respond, all of his clothes were removed.

Not only that, Leander washed his entire body for him.

Before Qiong Xing could stop him, Leander had already started preparing him from behind.

"Ah... mm... Leander..."

"Please stop provoking me," Leander said in a strained voice. "It’s been a while. I have to prepare you properly."

Even if he said that...

Qiong Xing had no idea how he was supposed to stop it.

Qiong Xing himself had no intention of provoking Leander.

In fact, he was trying his best to hold back his voice. Yet the soft sounds that was slipped out from his mouth were exactly what stirred Leander up, though Qiong Xing alone did not realize it.

"L-Leander... Leander... kiss me."

"Ah... damn it."

When Qiong Xing reached out with trembling hands from the growing pleasure, Leander kissed him fiercely, almost as if he had been waiting for it.

The kiss was rough and desperate, like someone starving.

Leander licked, bit, and devoured his lips as if he might consume him entirely.

"Sorry... I can’t hold back anymore."

Just as Leander said that, Qiong Xing felt something much hotter than fingers press inside him.

It entered deeply all at once.

The sudden fullness made Qiong Xing’s body arch like a drawn bow and he heard Leander let out a low groan.

"Th-that’s... too sudden..."

"Sorry. But I couldn’t hold back."

Even though Leander had prepared him carefully, it had still been a long time since Qiong Xing’s body had experienced this.

The sensation was overwhelming.

As Qiong Xing struggled to catch his breath and tried to complain, Leander apologized again and covered his face with kisses.

"Just like I thought... it feels amazing inside you. It’s like you’re pulling me deeper and deeper."

"—Hey...!"

Feeling embarrassed, Qiong Xing tried to raise his fist to hit him lightly, but at that exact moment Leander thrust deeper.

The strength left his arm and it dropped weakly to the side.

Seeing that there was no real resistance, Leander began moving faster and harder.

Qiong Xing could do nothing but cry out softly as the sweet sounds of his voice echoed through the room.

"Ah—ah—ah—no— I’m... I’m going to—"

"Wait a little longer," Leander said. "I want us to finish together."

"N-no... Leander..."

Leander pressed at the base of him, stopping him just as he was about to release.
