Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 118: Forget-Me-Not

"How do I look?" He Juan poked his head out of the bathroom while arranging his bangs to fall smoothly on his forehead.

"Good." Jia Molei commented with a deadpan look. He had said this for... how many times again? He could no longer count.

He Juan had no idea whether to laugh or cry. "Molei, you are not even looking at me!" He finally stepped out of the bathroom and straightened up his loose-collared sweater. He had chosen his lucky color today – blue. He already had a great physique to begin with. With his broad shoulders, lean waist and long legs, all kinds of clothing would look good on him. Yet he still could not be rest assured and kept thinking that something was off. He finally stood between Jia Molei and his favorite TV drama and gave a twirl. "So, how do I look?"

Veins throbbed on Jia Molei’s forehead and he squeezed the tomato cushion in his arms so hard that the original cute smiling cartoon face became a twisted crying look. He Juan grimaced. For some reason, he felt like if he kept asking, it would be his turn to be squeezed into meat paste...

"Last time," he pleaded pitifully. "One last time, okay? A-Lei, you have to help your good brother on his first date!"

"First date, your ass!" Jia Molei finally snapped and hurled the cushion right at He Juan’s face, forcing the latter to twist his powerful body to avoid it. Jia Molei ground his teeth, his face flushed angrily in the color similar to the streak of crimson in his hair. "I’ve told you countless times that you only need to show up like how you usually do for that omega to fall under your feet, and you don’t fucking believe me! You two have even gone to bed together, so why the fuck are you still fretting over your first date?!

He Juan let out a gasp, disbelieving. "How can you talk about Xiao Ze like that?! And... And we haven’t gone to bed together, okay?!" Warmth crept up his neck when he stuttered out. "Xiao Ze is just too kind to let me sleep on the floor, so he dragged his blankets and pillows down for me!"

Jia Molei made an exaggerated roll of his eyeballs. "Yeah, yeah..."

His tone was as if saying, ’Keep talking. Let me see what kind of excuse you’re going to make.’

At that moment, He Juan deeply regretted ever telling this little event to Jia Molei. However, he could not help it. He wanted to ask some advice about Mu Yuze’s nesting behavior to confirm if it was normal or not, and he had no choice but to confide in Jia Molei, the person he trusted the most in the world.

He Juan shot his doctor a glare before he suddenly deflated like a balloon, sighing. "Do you think I am acting ridiculous? I am already this old... yet I am still worrying about my first date..."

Jia Molei almost choked on his anger to death. Alas, seeing He Juan’s genuinely anxious look, he could not bring himself to say anything harsh. In the end, he pinched his brows and heaved a long-suffering sigh. "Let me say it once again. That omega is head over heels for you. Head over heels! Do you understand?!"

He Juan was flabbergasted by his best friend’s sudden outburst. "W–What are you trying to say?"

Jia Molei threw his hands up in the air and groaned. "It means that you can just fuck him on your first date and bam – do the thing you Alphas like to do!"

"Jia Molei!" He Juan hissed, unable to believe how crude he was. Indeed, he had been fantasizing... quite a lot... about doing this and that with Mu Yuze, especially after their last passionate session on the couch. But not today! Definitely not on their first date! It would make him look so uncultured and lustful!

It was really a wrong decision for He Juan to ask Jia Molei for advice. For starters, He Juan had known Jia Molei for seven long years, yet he had never heard him being interested in another person as everyone would either cower under his glare or be scared to tears by his aura before he could even open his mouth. He did not even know what type of person Jia Molei liked, male or female, Alpha or Beta or Omega...

Actually, the most suitable person He Juan should go to for relationship advice was Su Xieren, but... sigh, forget it. That man was still in the mourning period. Wouldn’t it be rubbing salt on his wounds if He Juan were to ask for dating tips? He was not that cruel!

Eventually, He Juan could only rely on the omnipotent master – internet. He had created a comprehensive plan for today and had even sent it to Mu Yuze for approval, but... oh God, he was just so nervous! He was finally going to go on a date with the omega of his dreams!

Because of that, he had even moved over to Jia Molei’s house temporarily. Alas, the Beta was really unhelpful at all...

He Juan kept worrying about this and that, almost making Jia Molei explode once again, before he glanced at the clock and saw that it was about time for him to depart. He Juan had promised to fetch Mu Yuze at his house, so he had to leave now if he did not want to be late.

As he walked to the doorway, Jia Molei trailed after him while muttering. "Have you brought everything? Phone, wallet, notebook, handkerchief? You have taken your medicine, right? Even though your check-up result this time is fairly good, you still can’t be careless!"

He Juan showed a helpless look. Oh God, here it was. Jia Molei’s infamous nagging. He put on his shoes, stood up and patted Jia Molei on the shoulder with a solemn look. "It’s okay, I have prepared everything very well. Nothing is forgotten. Wish me, your brother, great luck on his first date!"

Jia Molei silently rolled his eyes again. Then he told He Juan seriously, "Text me if you decide to sleep over at your omega’s house." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

S–Sleep over? He Juan’s itinerary did not include sleeping over! Heat crept up his neck again at the thought of being under the same roof with Mu Yuze, but he quickly shook his head to disperse the thought. No, don’t let your mind go down the gutter, He Juan! Today’s focus is the date! You have to make this an unforgettable date for Mu Yuze!

He did not want to talk with the crude and uncultured Jia Molei anymore lest his mind would be corrupted as well. With a harrumph, he turned around and opened the door when his eyes abruptly caught sight of something laying on the floor. "Hmm?" He raised brow, intrigued.

It was a beautiful bouquet of blue flowers with fresh and vibrant little petals.

He Juan picked it up for Jia Molei to see. His first assumption was that someone had left this bouquet for Jia Molei. After all, this was his house. Who else would this bouquet for if not him? Speak of the devil! He had just thought of Jia Molei’s barren love life and then this bouquet magically appeared in front of his door!

"Look!" He was grinning from ear to ear, his tone teasing and gleeful as he singsong-ed. "Who sent you this bouquet, huh? Fortunately, because I am going to pick up one for Xiao Ze, I have learned some flower names. This is forget-me-not..."

Jia Molei suddenly snatched the bouquet from his hands, his expression thunderous. It was not exaggerating to say that he looked like he was out to kill someone. He Juan was taken aback. He never expected that the beautiful bouquet would make Jia Molei show such a reaction. And thanks to the years of knowing the other, he knew that it was genuine.

Jia Molei was really simmering in rage right now.

"Molei...?" He softly called out, confused and bewildered in equal measure.
