Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 129: Do You Remember?
He Juan snapped his gaze to the nest-shaped bed and then Mu Yuze who was watching him intently, utterly stunned. Just as He Juan thought that this person could not be any more dangerous for his heart, he brought things to the next level again and did something like this!
Join him? Where? I–In the bed? Where else if not the bed?!
With a sharp inhale, he tried to muster the most convincing smile within his collapsing capacity. "Xiao Ze, I think... I think it’s not too good. After all, we are an unmated Alpha and Omega..."
"But I trust you," Mu Yuze’s firm declaration sent a jolt of shock through He Juan’s heart.
No, no, Precious... how can you trust me?! For God’s sake, don’t trust me! As much as it delighted him to hear that, it would be much preferable if it was not said in their current situation. How was he supposed to live up to Mu Yuze’s high expectations?! No, exactly what kind of image did he have in Mu Yuze’s eyes? A celibate monk?! He Juan was so close to breaking down now. He wished he could let Mu Yuze know that he was no different than any other Alphas out there who would accidentally shoot their guns at the slightest provocation...
As it turned out, Mu Yuze still had not done with his attack yet because when he saw that He Juan did not move from the spot, he lowered his lashes and murmured in a low voice, "Just a few hours ago, you told me that you will give me everything I want..." His voice was flat with nary a fluctuation, yet it gave off an inexplicable impression of being wronged. He only needed to ask ’was it all a lie?’ and the label of bastard would be plastered on He Juan’s forehead.
He Juan: "..."
What did ’picking up a rock only to smash it on their own feet’ mean? This was exactly what it meant!
"...Alright," He Juan was so speechless that he could only laugh out loud. "Alright, let’s... let’s do this." Anyway, the only person who would suffer was him. He only needed to endure this one night and everything would be over!
Steeling himself, He Juan strode toward the bed and stood beside Mu Yuze, hesitant. "How... do you want me?" An omega’s nest was a very private place, it was common sense. It could even be considered a sanctuary or a safe haven. He Juan was afraid that he would ruin Mu Yuze’s nest if he were to climb up carelessly.
Mu Yuze stacked a few soft pillows on the head of the bed, then gestured toward it. "Juan-gege can lay there."
He Juan suddenly remembered that he had not washed up yet and grew hesitant again. He was definitely stinky with sweat. What if the smell rubbed off on the nest? "I think I should take a bath–"
"No."
He Juan was startled. "N–No?"
Mu Yuze averted his gaze, his earlobes flushed a deep crimson. "It’s okay, you can just..." he trailed off and gestured toward the bed. His voice got smaller and smaller until it became a soft whisper in the end. "I don’t mind... at all."
"Oh..." Again, He Juan felt as if something had struck the most tender part of his heart. He had a sudden urge to smother Mu Yuze into a tight hug and took a deep inhale of his neck, where the pheromones were the warmest and thickest, but... no! A voice whispered to him that if he started something now, then this paper thin boundary between them would immediately be torn into shreds. Clenching his fists, He Juan forcibly withdrew his gaze, climbed into the bed and settled down exactly where Mu Yuze wanted him to.
He knew he had done the right thing when a hint of satisfaction flashed through the omega’s black-blue eyes. Mu Yuze went to turn off the light, fetch the remote then activate the screen projector that He Juan had never noticed existed before.
"What do you want to watch?" He asked as he climbed onto the bed. Then, instead of taking a place beside He Juan, he directly plopped himself down... between the space of He Juan’s legs. He did it so smoothly as if it was the most natural thing to do, leaving He Juan breathless and dazed.
In a blink of an eye, the warmth he had been coveting was right in front of him, so close that he could hold it if he reached out a hand. The light from the screen projector fell onto Mu Yuze, casting an almost ethereal glow on his skin. He Juan firmly kept his hands by his side and it took him a while to register that Mu Yuze was asking him a question. He cleared his throat and tried to answer in a tone as casual as anyone could in this kind of situation. "...Anything is fine."
Patient He Juan... even if you can’t bear it, you have to!
He had always prided himself as someone with a high tolerance and very good temper, but now... everything vanished in a poof in the face of Mu Yuze!! Oh dear Lord... what should he do? Losing control has never been so easy...
"Hmm..." Mu Yuze fiddled with the remote control for a while until he found the movie that suited his taste. After that, he threw the remote to the side.
At first, he had been sitting upright with his legs curled up in front of his chest. And now... he suddenly scooted backward until his back was touching He Juan’s chest. His movement was careful and tentative, and when he sensed no rejection from He Juan, he slowly let himself relax and nuzzled his head into the crook of He Juan’s neck, a faint purr forming on the base of his throat.
He Juan’s heart seized sharply, overwhelmed by the surge of arousal as well as adoration for the person in his arms. Mu Yuze was tall – taller than any other omegas He Juan had ever met otherwise he would not have mistaken him as an Alpha – yet at this moment, he was able to curl himself up into a very small bundle to fit into He Juan’s arms.
How was it possible for a person to be so lovely and precious? He was going to send He Juan into cardiac arrest for sure...!
The space between them was filled with only the sound ftom the movie. Even though He Juan’s eyes were fixed in front, he did not even register what kind of movie it was or what appearance did the actors have. Every nerves on his body was painfully conscious of the omega who snuggled close to him, each breath he took, the wiggle of his toes, the flutter of his half-dried hair – everything.
And then, amidst the silence, he heard Mu Yuze murmur, "Juan-gege, your heart is beating so fast."
He Juan: "..." It was only weird if his heart did not race when the omega he liked was acting spoiled to him like this!
"It’s okay," Mu Yuze continued, his gaze did not stray from the movie. "My heart is beating fast too."
He Juan screwed his eyes shut and prayed for whichever Gods who could grant him strength and willpower to get through the night. Stay still, He Juan... you’re not allowed to move!
"Gege, do you remember?"
"...Hmm?"
"You once told me that you’d like to carry my scent on your body." Without giving He Juan a chance to react, Mu Yuze abruptly turned and their gazes collided in midair. There was a radiant spark in Mu Yuze’s dark eyes that sent He Juan’s heart soaring. "...Is that still valid?"
