Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 162: All Those Years
Mu Yuze’s conditioned reflex prompted him to put on a defensive stance as soon as He Juan pushed him away. His body rolled on the ground a few times before he stopped in a crouching position, choking and coughing, blood seeping out from the corner of his lips. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
However, he did not even have the time to wipe it off before he hollered at Su Xieren with an extremely hoarse voice, "Get away from here and shut the door!"
Su Xieren was stunned by the sudden reversal in front of him. Faintly, he had a hunch that he had stepped in at the wrong time. But it was not as if he could ignore the SOS signal from the monitor room and allow any harm to come to Mu Yuze either! Fortunately, his reaction time was fast. Even before the last word of Mu Yuze’s sentence could settle in the air, he had hastily stepped back and slammed the door close, leaving the two others behind.
"He Juan... He Juan!" Ignoring the bone-crushing pain all over his body, Mu Yuze scrambled to He Juan’s bedside and held his face, trying to make the Alpha lift his head and look at him. His tears fell one after another as he held the struggling He Juan in his arms, "Gege... wake up! Wake up, please...!"
But it was no use. He Juan looked like he was trapped in a vicious nightmare with no exit in sight. His eyes were unseeing, filled with excruciating pain and terror. He was grabbing onto his own head whilst screaming himself raw, and Mu Yuze could faintly hear him murmur in a crazed manner, "Kill me... just kill me...!"
A sob escaped Mu Yuze’s lips. Every torturous scream, every tremble and shiver of agony radiating from He Juan – they hurt him so much as if he was going through it himself. It was like someone was using a serrated dagger to lacerate the depth of his heart, every stroke was drawing out raw pieces of bloody flesh.
Seeing that He Juan’s nails were leaving streaks of red marks along his skin, Mu Yuze reached out to grab onto his wrists to prevent him from hurting himself further. "Gege... Gege–!!" He cried out again and again.
When he saw that it was futile, he gritted his teeth and used his body weight to pin He Juan beneath him. Blazing determination surged in the depth of his dark pupils. Without any hesitation, he reached behind to tear his gland patch off.
In an instant, the lavender and peppermint scented pheromones, which had been suppressed under the Alpha’s savage ones, exploded in full power. It actually stood on par with He Juan’s!
Mu Yuze’s frame shook in pain, almost making him curl up and shiver into a ball. He instinctively bit down on his bottom lip to smother the groan of pain. Faintly, he could even taste more blood surging up his throat.
This was a pain he had never thought could exist in this world. It was life-suckingly painful. Too painful. His limbs twitched uncontrollably. He felt his body, his flesh and soul being crushed to dust. And in that moment, death seemed to be another kind of salvation.
Earlier, when the machine confirmed that the compatibility between He Juan and Mu Yuze was 100%, Doctor Tang had no more reason to keep Mu Yuze from going. But in exchange, he gave an ultimatum as a precaution – Mu Yuze was not allowed to take his gland patch off.
He Juan’s pheromones might be destructive, but at least with the protection of gland patch, the damage sustained by Mu Yuze’s gland would be kept to the bare minimum. It was done in consideration for both of them. Because if Mu Yuze’s gland was damaged right now, then he would not be able to mate with He Juan anymore in the future.
Not only would he lose the chance to form a bond with He Juan, it was also equivalent to killing He Juan’s mate as well...
Moreover, this was the true mate they were talking about! It would be such a pity if an accident were to happen to either of them, so Doctor Tang had repeatedly warned him that he should not – must not – take his gland patch off.
Mu Yuze listened to the doctor’s advice and naturally knew what he was worried about. He also would not want anything to happen to his gland. After all, this was the only physical thing that connected him to He Juan. True mates. As long as this kind of bond existed between him and Juan-gege, he would not ask for anything more in this lifetime.
Mu Yuze did not want to take this risk...
Until now. Until he saw He Juan’s hysterical and deranged state.
The gland patch might serve as a protection from He Juan’s lethal pheromones, but at the same time, it was also firmly blocking Mu Yuze’s pheromones from leaking out. No matter how hard he tried to reach He Juan, he could only let out a thin strand of pheromones. And as expected, it did not work. It was too thin to be sensed by He Juan in his current frenzied state. As such, Mu Yuze resorted to the last method and did not hesitate to tear that last barrier off, immediately exposing the most sensitive and tender part of him to harm.
Mu Yuze slumped on top of He Juan’s body, his breathing weak and shallow. His dark eyes were hazy and they were filled with tears that slid from the corner of his eyes to the Alpha’s skin. Even in this state where he could pass out at any moment, Mu Yuze still subconsciously stretched out his neck and gave He Juan’s inflamed gland a feeble lick. It was not only him who was suffering. He Juan also felt the agony from the overexertion.
"He Juan... Juan-gege..." Mu Yuze mustered every drop of strength to reach his arms out and wrap them around He Juan’s head, guiding the Alpha’s nose to his gland. He had never released this many pheromones before. And each second was very taxing, draining the life out of his body bit by bit.
"Everything... is okay. Everything will be okay..." he whispered.
His mind became distorted and everything suddenly became so far away. What remained was only the warmth of the body beneath him and the frantic pulse under his ear. He could not even sense his own breathing anymore.
He had no idea how He Juan was faring right now and he had no strength left to lift his head either. All he could do was to gather this broken Alpha within his arms and use everything he had to keep the man from utterly breaking apart.
"I love you..." he murmured, almost inaudibly. He poured out all of his hidden longing that was safely tucked on the deepest corner of his heart. All those years spent only looking at the Alpha’s back and wishing desperately that he would just look back at him – just once. All those years spent in frantic and misery as he searched for his missing figure. All those suppressed tears, sleepless nights and endless regrets... He poured them out into three simple words that encompassed his entire being. "Gege... I... love you..."
Before his consciousness completely faded away, he sensed the body beneath him freezing up. Then, everything suddenly went dark and his body grew slack, unconscious.
