Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 93: Unattainable Yearning

He Juan stared blankly at the omega in front of him. It couldn’t be... did Mu Yuze really want to ask him to wash up together?! However, before He Juan’s mind could bring him to wonderland and potentially caused him a flood of nosebleed, Mu Yuze popped his bubble with his next sentence,

"Stay here and wait. I will finish soon." After saying that, he walked inside and closed the door right in front of He Juan’s dumbfounded face. The sound of running water was heard the next moment.

Oh. He Juan blinked as the fact slowly registered into his lagging mind. So... Mu Yuze told him to wait here? In this room? And wait for him to finish? He Juan buried his face in his palms and let out a muffled keen like a pig being slaughtered. Fortunately, he had not said anything... Fortunately, he did not make another humiliating mistake in front of Mu Yuze! He blamed this for the ruined sleeping schedule that made his brain suddenly go haywire.

Then here came the main problem. Was it really okay for him to stay in this room?

He Juan finally inspected Mu Yuze’s room for the first time. Contrary to the cold and frosty aura he exuded, Mu Yuze’s room was very... soft yet bare at the same time. The wallpaper was cream colored whereas the floor was wooden tiles. Aside from a wardrobe and full body mirror, there was only a king sized bed by the window. Perhaps it was the only furniture that looked full of life in this room.

The bed was filled with many large and fluffy pillows. If He Juan had to be honest, it looked extremely similar to a... nest, especially the thick blankets that were stacked up nicely until it resembled a fort.

It was not uncommon for omega to form a nest. They would always subconsciously build one whenever their heat was coming. However, He Juan knew that Mu Yuze had had his heat a few days ago, and it was promptly controlled by the suppressor so there should be no problems about that.

So the only reason why an omega would still maintain his nest after his heat period ended was because... he was insecure and feeling completely unsafe? But why? This was his own house, wasn’t it?

He Juan could not understand, nor could he figure out the mind of an omega. Perhaps... there was something he had missed? He Juan scratched his cheek and decided to check with Jia Molei tomorrow.

He could not sit on the bed lest he would leave his scent on it, which was completely rude and offensive, and the room did not have any chair to sit on either. Left with no other choice, he could only settle on the floor and lean against the foot of the bed.

The sound of running water was akin to a lullaby in He Juan’s ears. Whenever he recalled that Mu Yuze was close at hand, He Juan received an unprecedented sense of peace that calmed him down. It was quite miraculous how the omega’s mere presence could offer him serenity like none other.

Unable to resist, his eyelids slowly fluttered shut as drowsiness returned in full force to claim his consciousness. He had always had an innate talent for sleeping in random spots, and before Mu Yuze could even finish his brief shower, he already dozed off with his head nuzzling into the fluffy blanket that smelled of the omega’s heavenly pheromones.

Ten or so minutes later, the running water stopped and the door clicked open. "Juan-gege, I—" Mu Yuze immediately halted his words when he saw the Alpha sitting on the floor with his legs crossed, head lolling against the soft bedding. He was fast asleep again.

The corner of Mu Yuze’s lips twitched as he stepped out and carefully closed the bathroom door behind him. His footsteps echoed almost soundlessly as he approached He Juan and stopped one meter away.

Mu Yuze’s hair was still dripping with water and slowly wet his shirt. He did not have a hair dryer, nor did he care about his hair’s silkiness. After all, it was not a lie when he told He Juan that he did not like to groom himself. His entire body was suffused with a pink hue, making him look like a ripe peach that could be devoured anytime soon. He was wearing nothing but a comfy and oversized black shirt that hung down to his thighs.

If He Juan had been sober, then he would have been treated to the sight of his favorite legs in the world — pale and naked, damp with rivulets of water and most importantly, still bearing his passionate hickeys from their earlier make-out session.

But unfortunately, he was currently out like a light. So, no free legs show for him. Expressionlessly, Mu Yuze turned to the wardrobe and dug out pajama trousers to wear.

When he returned, He Juan was still sleeping like a baby. Mu Yuze was conflicted. He was unwilling to let He Juan sleep on the cold floor all night, but he did not want to disturb his rest either. After deliberating for a while, he finally climbed into his bed and dragged down all of his pillows with the blankets altogether, then arranged them neatly around He Juan with the Alpha as the center. After he was done, he crawled into the little space between He Juan’s legs and curled himself as small as possible there.

"Hmm..." Sensing a familiar presence, He Juan’s arms immediately came around Mu Yuze’s slender waist. He bent down to sniff along the line of Mu Yuze’s nape with a blissful look on his face.

Mu Yuze’s body tensed. After he was done with the shower, he had not put on another gland patch. As such, the area He Juan nuzzled into was the most sensitive spot belonging to an omega.

Mu Yuze bit down on his bottom lip and smothered down all noises he might make. His slender frame shook slightly, and the earlobes peeking out between strands of wet hair was as red as blood.

"Xiao Ze..." He Juan murmured under his breath.

Mu Yuze’s heart skipped a beat. Had he woken Juan-gege up?

Unfortunately, He Juan did not wake up. He was currently in a very beautiful dreamland, one that was dominated with cotton candy and rainbows. Everywhere he smelled was sweet peppermint and lavender, and He Juan really felt as if he had ascended to Heaven. He smacked his lips and nibbled on the soft cloud that was Mu Yuze’s skin. "Hmm, you taste so good..."

Mu Yuze’s breath hitched sharply on his throat and he tilted his body to the side to avoid the Alpha’s dangerous teeth. Alas, who could have guessed that He Juan’s hold on him was so firm that when Mu Yuze moved, he was also dragged along? As a result, both of them toppled straight into the mountain of pillows and blankets on the floor.

He Juan let out another satisfied hum and buried his face into the crook of the omega’s neck, his breathing turning deep and even.

Mu Yuze held himself still for a few more seconds. After making sure that the man was really sleeping, Mu Yuze slowly let himself relax in He Juan’s arms. Then, he raised his head to stare at He Juan’s gorgeous face. His gaze was especially intense and unyielding as if he wanted to carve this sight into the deepest part of his mind.

Mu Yuze might have spent a lot of sleepless nights staring at He Juan’s slumbering face, yet he had never done it in such close proximity before. It was unbelievable how much things had changed in a blink of an eye.

If someone were to tell him eight or nine years ago that he would one day have this person’s attention, that he would be able to kiss Juan-gege as he pleased and even hug him in sleep, how would he react? At the very least, he would beat the other person up until they could not spout out this nonsense anymore. Back then, he did not even dare to entertain such a beautiful daydream...

For him, this man had always been his unattainable yearning. Like a frog in the well, he could only look up to the open sky and wondered how it would feel to reach it one day. Yet no matter what, it was impossible for the frog to own the sky. He was simply too unworthy.

"Gege..." Mu Yuze buried his face into He Juan’s warm chest and asked, more to himself than the other. "If one day you were to regain your memory... would you still want me?"
