Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 166: [Bonus - ] Little Omega

Mu Yuze heard that his gland was still okay and an unprecedented relief coursed through his entire body. That’s good... fortunately he could still become Juan-gege’s mate...

Next, he finally realized what kind of atrocity He Juan was talking about and his brow furrowed deeply. "...What?"

Giving He Juan another once-over, Mu Yuze finally pinpointed what had been nagging on his mind for a while. Something was definitely different with He Juan. Except for that one time when Mu Yuze suddenly woke up and caught him off guard, he never raised his eyes to look into Mu Yuze’s eyes anymore. And then, his manner of speaking... it was polite, formal and reserved. Even if He Juan was feeling guilty for hurting him, he would not act so... distant. Not like this.

Mu Yuze’s eyelids suddenly jumped as an ill premonition swept through his heart. "How much do you remember?"

He Juan’s reaction was delayed a beat. He gave a slow blink before he could understand what Mu Yuze was talking about. Then he forced out a stiff smile, "The doctors said that I will be able to remember soon..."

Mu Yuze’s tone became stern. "How much do you remember?"

He Juan was startled. He lifted his eyelids by reflex and once their eyes met, he hastily lowered them again. But it was already enough for Mu Yuze to notice the fatigue, panic, remorse and sadness within. He Juan’s breathing grew slightly ragged, making the mask on his face foggy. His jaws clenched and unclenched, he finally forced out an answer with much difficulty, "The doctors... told me our name..."

Mu Yuze’s face instantly sank. Never had he expected that this episode would cause He Juan to... lose his current memory as well! An inexplicable tightness wrenched around his heart and he felt like he could not breathe. So right now, Juan-gege doesn’t remember him anymore? Again...?

Perhaps seeing that his expression almost crumbled, He Juan added in a haste, "Don’t worry, my memory doesn’t disappear this time! I only need a longer time to sort out everything in my head. And..." he suddenly slowed down and whispered in a very small voice, "I knew... as soon as I saw you – no, before I even saw you, I already knew that you’re my mate..."

Mu Yuze was stunned. He had never seen Juan-gege like this before. So anxious, distraught and panicked. Previously, even though he had a moment of fluster, he had always given off the impression that everything was within his range of control, that everything would be okay once he took care of it. Now though... he really looked like he had no idea where to put his hands and feet.

Before Mu Yuze could recover from the shock, he heard He Juan continue, "But what kind of Alpha would..." he choked on his words, unable to finish it any longer.

But Mu Yuze could easily read between the lines.

—What kind of Alpha would harm his Omega with his own hands?

Mu Yuze pursed his lips as the corner of his eyes were faintly tinged with red. Yes, this was exactly the kind of person He Juan was. He was kind, so kind to the point where he would beat himself up every time something went wrong. He never thought of blaming other people or the unfortunate situation – only himself. Clearly, it was him who got drugged. It was him who was innocently dragged into the current peril. It was him who suffered the most, yet all he picked was his own faults.

It was really a headache-inducing trait, yet it was also what made him very endearing.

He Juan was still He Juan. Even though he lost his memory and forgot everything, he still would not change.

"I am the one who chose to come to you despite everyone’s protest," Mu Yuze started to say, firmly, with a tone that brooked no argument. "I am the one who chose to approach you and it’s also me who decided to take my gland patch off. Everything I did was on my own volition. It has nothing to do with you."

Even though Mu Yuze’s words were blunt, He Juan knew that the little omega was trying to relieve his guilt. His omega. He still could not believe that he had almost killed this person with his own hands. But no matter what, nothing could change the fact that it already happened. The damage had been done. Mu Yuze had gotten injured, all because of him. Yet he also could not resist the way his heart skipped a beat at the earnest and serious look Mu Yuze showed him when he was explaining his own actions.

Just how did this super nice, stunning and fierce little omega be paired with someone like him?!

When he thought of how the doctors had excitedly told him how this man was his true mate, He Juan’s heart sped up uncontrollably and his breathing picked up its pace. In the middle of the enclosed space, it sounded especially loud and harsh. Even more when He Juan was still wearing the oxygen mask on his face...

Mu Yuze snapped his gaze to him, anxious. "Juan-gege, what’s wrong?!" He tried to get up again only to be pressed back by He Juan.

"No... it’s nothing," He Juan tried to compose himself even though inwardly he was screaming at how the little omega had called him gege. "It just feels a little... stuffy..."

Mu Yuze became more worried, thinking that something was wrong with He Juan’s respiratory system. "Do you need to call the doctor?" He was already reaching for the button beside the bed as he spoke and once again, only to be caught by He Juan.

"There’s really no need," He Juan hastily said.

He was most apprehensive toward a certain crimson-haired and sullen-looking doctor. For some reason, he had a hunch that the doctor had a belly of complaints with nowhere to vent and he only let He Juan off the hook due to his weakened state. Everytime he was glared at by those eyes, he would feel inexplicably guilty as if he had done something wrong. But other than his inability to fall asleep, he really had not done anything wrong!

He Juan did not want Mu Yuze to summon that doctor here and thus, he acted without even thinking. Only when he sensed a soft sensation in his palm did he realize that he had grabbed onto the little omega’s hand. In the next moment, both of them froze.

He Juan stared at his mate’s beautiful yet slender hand and suddenly recalled the content of his dream. Back then, he could no longer differentiate between dream and reality when he saw Mu Yuze sprawled atop of him, his breathing so weak as though it was going to stop at any second.

But his instinct told him that some pieces he dreamed of were derailed from reality. Such as the vivid sensation of a katana slashing into his body and also...

... the magnetic voice that whispered softly into his ears.

He Juan fell into a trance and without even thinking, he blurted out, "Back then, did you tell me... you love me?"

Mu Yuze stared at him blankly as though not understanding what he was talking about. Just as He Juan thought that it was only a product of his imagination and intended to brush it off, he saw redness crawl the tip of Mu Yuze’s ears to the entire root, then his cheeks to his neck. In a blink of an eye, his palm-sized face was dyed with the color of bright crimson. It was striking yet enchantingly beautiful at the same time.

"Oh..." He Juan could not help but stare in awe, unblinking. His eyes flickered in thought. Somehow, this scene was very familiar...

Had he made his little omega blush like this in the past too?
