Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 603: Wait For Gege

He Juan had already been notified of Mu Yuze’s arrival by the guards stationed at the residence beforehand, so he immediately dismissed Chen Youzhi, gave him a meaningful instruction to take good care of their guest, before making his way to the entrance.

Anticipation and thrill surged within him, causing his heart to jackrabbit in his chest.

Even though he had been expecting Mu Yuze’s presence, somehow all of this still felt a little too... unbelievable. It seemed like only yesterday that he cut all ties with the seventeen-year-old Mu Yuze, nursing his broken heart while telling himself to let go, so that his little mate could live a peaceful and ordinary life – even if it meant without him.

Yet in a blink of an eye, here they were.

Could such a good thing truly happen to him? How could he ascertain that this was a tangible reality and not something his mind conjured up from the sheer force of his yearning?

He Juan mechanically punched in the password to the door and swung it open, lost in thought. He only snapped out of his stupor when he sensed the presence of another nearby, but before he could even lift his head, something – or someone – wasted no time to burrow himself into his embrace, arms encircling his torso. He Juan caught the omega by reflex, his pupils dilating in shock. The intoxicating scent of lavender and peppermint flooded his senses, tinged with the slightest bitterness of displeasure.

"It’s been almost three hours since you left the Phoenix Ablaze," Mu Yuze murmured sullenly from where his face was still buried in He Juan’s chest. "Where did you go?"

How warm, He Juan found himself thinking as tension left his body in waves. He wrapped an arm around Mu Yuze’s waist and leaned down to inhale the scent of his own shampoo from the omega’s damp hair, a low chuckle slipping out of his lips. This was real. Mu Yuze was real. Everything was real and not merely a figment of his imagination! It was to that realization that He Juan managed to regain his bearings, and his heart practically melted at the sticky little bunny who was acting spoiled toward him right now.

For the love of God, what had he done to deserve such a sweet and affectionate mate?

Despite the warmth swelling in his chest, he couldn’t help but tease, mirth sparkling in his eyes. "Jumping straight to interrogation, aren’t we, Officer Mu?"

He threw his head back into a laugh when Mu Yuze raised his head to glare at him. "Juan-gege, behave!" he hissed in displeasure.

"My bad..." He Juan tried to stifle his chuckle to no avail, his shoulders shaking faintly from the force of his laughter. He’d better be on his best behavior if he did not want to make Mu Yuze storm away in anger. Smiling, he pressed a lingering kiss on Mu Yuze’s forehead, then another on his ear – a gesture of comfort and apology.

A faint ’mnn’ escaped Mu Yuze’s lips as his eyelids fluttered shut, and he tilted his head to bare the fair and beautiful column of his neck to He Juan. The last vestiges of displeasure in his scent dissipated without a trace. Such an act of trust and dependency made He Juan’s heart swell to the verge of bursting.

"Gege..." he whimpered, his grip tightening around He Juan’s arm.

He Juan stared, enamored, at the fair lobe of Mu Yuze’s ear which flushed in a deep crimson hue. It looked so pretty and delectable that he couldn’t resist the urge to take a bite, eliciting a surprised yelp from the omega.

"What was that for?!" He demanded with a huff, but He Juan only responded with another soft chuckle.

"Sorry, have you been waiting for long?" He Juan asked as he began to scent Mu Yuze again to replenish his pheromones that slightly faded from the shower the omega had just taken. A deep sense of satisfaction filled him when Mu Yuze gasped in surprise before he literally melted into He Juan’s arms as though all the bones in his body had turned into liquid.

"Mn... not very long..." he murmured, a blissful purr rumbling from the base of his throat.

He Juan could swear his heart literally stopped beating for a few seconds at the adorable sound, before it proceeded to thrash and struggle within the confines of his ribcage like a mad bull on a dose of heroin. He had to clench his teeth and squeeze his eyes shut to resist the temptation to drown Mu Yuze in his pheromones from head to toe.

Oh it would be such a delightful sight to see, but... he couldn’t do it! He must not!

Mu Yuze’s body was not trained to receive a superior Alpha’s pheromones, and if He Juan were to overdo it, it was not impossible for him to trigger the omega’s heat, and that was the last thing he ever wanted to see!

(He forcefully stomped down the image of a writhing and desperate Mu Yuze, begging for—)

He Juan stopped his scenting, prompting the omega to snap his eyes open and glared at him accusingly as though He Juan had deprived him of what was rightfully his, and oh words were simply not enough to explain the maelstrom of feelings wreaking havoc in He Juan’s chest at the moment.

From the insecure teenager who dared not convey what he truly wanted, to this young man who courageously demanded what his heart desired, He Juan was so, so proud to witness his immense growth, even though he regretted the fact that he was not present along that journey.

He extended a hand just in time to catch a droplet of water that slid down Mu Yuze’s cheek from the wet tips of his hair, a faint smile playing on the corner of his lips. "You’re quick. How is it? Did you get chewed out by your Captain?"

Mu Yuze leveled him with an unimpressed stare as though saying ’I know you’re trying to change the subject’ but in the end, he still replied, "Captain Li likes to nag, and we have all gotten used to it. All that matters is that we succeeded in making a deal with you. Enough about me. What about you? You still haven’t told me why you’re so late."

He Juan simply couldn’t resist pinching his cheek upon hearing that strict tone, his smile deepening. Mu Yuze really wouldn’t let him get away with this, would he? Well, not that He Juan had any intention of hiding it from him – not anymore.

"It’s a long story," he began as he gestured around them, "and I don’t think we should talk about it here."

"Ah..." Mu Yuze blinked, his cheeks flushing at the realization that he had been keeping He Juan at the doorway all this while. The man had not even taken off his shoes yet, for God’s sake! "S–Sorry, I..." He made a move to let go, but He Juan tightened his arm around his waist instead, preventing him from escaping.

In response to Mu Yuze’s surprised look, He Juan flashed him an exceedingly tender smile and planted a resounding smooch on his cheek. "There’s no need for ’sorry’s between us, little rabbit," he whispered into the omega’s ear, his voice low and enticing. "Wait for Gege in bed. I will try to shower quickly."
