Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 96: Veggie Juice
He Juan listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom and could not help but hum a random tune. Despite his lack of sleep, his entire person felt energized as if his battery was full to the point of bursting. And that was all because of a sweet, lingering kiss a certain omega suddenly threw at him before he dashed to the bathroom.
Standing in the kitchen with only Mu Yuze’s biggest sweatpants covering his lower half, He Juan busied himself making a healthy mix of vegetables for Mu Yuze to drink. He was already accustomed to making this thanks to Jia Molei’s extremely healthy lifestyle.
For the next few minutes, the noisy buzz of the juicer reverberated in the air, interlacing with the splash of water from the bathroom. Unexpectedly, it sounded very... harmonious, almost as if they were newlyweds...
He Juan was so lost in the beautiful fantasy that he failed to realize when the water in the bathroom had stopped running. The door swung open and a quiet set of footsteps approached him. Then, a pair of slender arms still moist with water wrapped around He Juan’s waist, followed by a magnetic voice whispering right into his ear, jolting He Juan back to his senses. "What are you making, Juan-gege?"
Mu Yuze’s warm and minty breath fanned across the sensitive skin of his neck, sending a rush of delicious shivers down his spine. He Juan’s abdomen tightened in reflex where the omega’s hands were touching, and he could not help but grab onto the edge of the counter to steady himself. Dangerous! He knew that the omega did not mean anything by that, but... oh God, everything Mu Yuze did, even if he was merely casting a glance at He Juan, was akin to the most powerful temptation to him...
Mu Yuze was right. This body of his was too lecherous!
Not getting any response, Mu Yuze got on his tippy toes and peered through He Juan’s shoulder. The movement caused his entire body to be plastered on He Juan’s back and oh... he could clearly perceive every soft and beautiful curve of Mu Yuze’s body against him. Their bodies were melding so seamlessly like two pieces of puzzles who finally found each other. The memory of their intimate session last night rushed back to him like a torrential wave and He Juan could feel his temperature steadily rising.
Being with Mu Yuze made him feel like a frog boiled in warm water. He Juan was so comfortable being in his presence that he failed to notice how powerful the effect the omega had on him. And once he was finally aware of his surroundings, everything was already too late — Mu Yuze already had him dancing in the palm of his hand.
He Juan sensed it vividly when Mu Yuze recoiled at the sight of a hideous green substance inside the juicer. "What... is that?" he asked hesitantly.
The trepidation and repulsion in his tone was so obvious that He Juan could not resist a smile. Grasping Mu Yuze’s slender wrist, he whirled around and caught the omega in his embrace. Now that they were face-to-face, the disgust in Mu Yuze’s wrinkled brows were apparent.
He Juan tapped on the tip of his nose with a playful smile on his face. "Gege made it for you. You will finish it, right?"
The corner of Mu Yuze’s lips twitched. He looked like he was seriously considering their relationship all over again. The words ’don’t want to drink’ were practically written on his forehead with bold capital letters.
Seeing him like this, He Juan’s chest rumbled with a pleasant, deep chuckle. "Oh, don’t look at me like that. I swear it is not as bad as how it looks. I don’t put honey in because I remember that you don’t like sweets. Instead, there is pineapple, mint, spinach, and cucumber in it. Oh, I also added a bit of peanut jam and ginger powder. It will be very refreshing and nutritious, I promise."
As He Juan was speaking, he dipped his head and inhaled the fresh scent of the omega out of the shower. Traces of He Juan’s pheromones still clung to his skin, making the Alpha even more delighted. Then recalling something, he suddenly drew back and asked, "Wait a minute. Are you allergic to any of those?"
He could not believe that he forgot to ask for it first before he made the drink! Goodness, he should have learned his lesson after the incident of sending Jia Molei to the emergency room overnight!
Fortunately, Mu Yuze doused his worry in the next moment with a shake of his head. "I can eat anything, but..." he hesitated again when he glanced at the ugly green juice. His lips were pressed into thin lines. Even if he was not allergic, it did not mean he wanted to drink it! But... this was a drink Juan-gege had personally concocted for him...
Mu Yuze suddenly found himself entangled in the greatest dilemma of his life.
"Oh, that’s good." He Juan heaved out a sigh of relief. He turned around to pour the juice to the glass he had prepared, then agilely caught a certain omega by the waist before he could escape. With a bright smile on his face, he handed the drink over to Mu Yuze. "You have not gotten enough sleep for the past few days. Be a good boy and listen to Gege, okay? This will be beneficial for your body..."
Mu Yuze: "..."
He glanced at He Juan’s face then the disgusting thing in his hand, and his face turned a little green. He really did not want to drink it, but he did not know how to say no to He Juan’s face. In a fit of a temper tantrum, he stubbornly kept his lips shut and engaged in a silent war with the other.
"Oh, well..." He Juan let out a baleful sigh and took the glass back.
Just as a sliver of panic wormed into Mu Yuze’s heart as he thought of how Juan-gege would surely be disappointed for how picky he was, he suddenly saw the Alpha bringing the glass to his own mouth then took a small sip of it. Then before Mu Yuze could react, He Juan swooped in and covered his lips. Mu Yuze’s eyes widened in shock. The astringent and pungent smell of vegetables, mixed with the refreshing mint and sourness of pineapple spread all over his mouth as He Juan teasingly coaxed his lips open with the tip of his nimble tongue.
"Ngh...!" Mu Yuze subconsciously squeezed his eyes shut and gripped He Juan’s arms tightly, his throat bobbing as the veggie juice slid down his throat in smooth succession.
He Juan caught the omega’s sweet little tongue and sucked on it for a few seconds before he withdrew enough to look into Mu Yuze’s dazed eyes. "How is it?" he asked, slightly breathless. "It’s not too bad, right?"
Mu Yuze licked the corner of his lips. Rather than the juice, all he could taste was He Juan’s saliva and the powerful pheromones contained in it. Somehow... he liked it quite a bit. Ears flushing, he gave a barely discernible nod. "...Mn."
In the next twenty minutes, He Juan patiently and gently fed the entire glass of veggie juice to the omega, not leaving even one drop behind.
After sending Mu Yuze off to the car like a virtuous househusband he was, He Juan returned to the house and eyed the couch which had bore witness to their passionate entanglement last night. It was gray in color and hence, the suspicious dark patches were especially conspicuous to see. Not to mention, it reeked too heavily of their scent of arousal...
He Juan held his forehead and spent the next half an hour rubbing the couch clean. Barely satisfied, he took a little break and checked on his phone. He intended to ask Su Xieren how he was doing today, only to be surprised when he found a few unread messages from the other.
[Da-ge, you’re not returning here to sleep?]
[I asked Jia-ge. You’re not with him too? You can’t be moving in with Officer Mu already, can you?]
[...I’m sorry. I have no idea that Jia-ge doesn’t know anything at all.]
Oh God... He Juan covered his face in embarrassment. He had totally forgotten to inform Su Xieren and Jia Molei about it! Not only had he intruded on Mu Yuze’s house, he had also slept in Mu Yuze’s nest whilst hugging Mu Yuze himself...
Su Xieren was not the kind of person who would be nosy about He Juan’s private affair, but... it was different for Jia Molei! He Juan recalled how Jia Molei had told him not to get close to Mu Yuze and felt another onslaught of headache. How was he supposed to explain this matter to Jia Molei so that the Beta would not explode in sheer rage and die due to a heart attack?
Well... he’d better cross the bridge when he came to it.
Kneading his forehead, He Juan finally scrolled down to the last message Su Xieren had sent him less than an hour ago.
[Da-ge, have you woken up? I have something to tell you. It’s about Xinya.]
[I will be waiting for you in the apartment. Please come whenever you’d like.]
