Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 605: My Eyes Are Here

Mu Yuze couldn’t remember the last time he’d slept this soundly. Laying on the plush mattress and surrounded by an array of fluffy pillows, it felt no different than a paradise on Earth, especially when he was cocooned by the scent he loved the most like a second blanket.

In the end, he was roused from his slumber when he reached out a hand and blindly groped around, only to touch an empty space instead of the warm body he’d expected.

Cracking his eyelids open, he squinted against the dazzling sunshine that draped over his form. He turned his head to the side and sure enough, his Juan-gege was nowhere to be found. The mattress felt cool to the touch, proving that the man had been up for a while.

Where is he?

Sitting up, Mu Yuze yawned and stretched his waist, groaning in bliss when his bones popped in a few sore places. He checked the time and surprise flashed in his eyes when he found that it was already noon.

Mu Yuze had almost never slept in late, unless he had been extremely exhausted from pulling multiple all-nighters or battling against the heat period that drained him down to the bones.

Granted, the two of them had gone to sleep almost in the morning, but Mu Yuze couldn’t believe that he had slept for so long, even missing the moment when He Juan slipped out of bed!

Memories of the previous night flooded his mind, and heat filled his cheeks when he recalled the solid weight of He Juan’s arm around his waist as the Alpha pulled him close, spooning him from behind and nuzzling against his neck with a sigh of contentment.

It had felt so right – like a lock and key, or two pieces of puzzles meant to be together – that Mu Yuze couldn’t help the way his heart fluttered just by the mere recollection of it.

He had actually been extremely curious about He Juan’s whereabouts during the hours he had gone missing and resolved to get to the bottom of things. Alas, just one look at He Juan’s sleepy face, and that determination crumpled faster than a tissue paper soaked in running water.

Juan-gege had looked so exhausted that Mu Yuze couldn’t bear to keep him awake for even a second longer. And so, they had not even gotten to talk much because both of them pretty much passed out as soon as their heads touched the pillow. The comforting assurance of each other’s presence might have played a role, making it a priority for them to bask in each other’s scent.

As a result...

Mu Yuze lifted his collar and brought it to his nose for a sniff, and a giddy smile threatened to break across his face at the lingering scent of the Alpha.

He Juan must have scented him again some time in the morning, as Mu Yuze could perceive that the scent had become more powerful. Not that he would ever complain. On the contrary, he had literally been dreaming of this, for him to drown in Juan-gege’s scent from head to toe...

Shaking off the wayward thoughts in his mind, Mu Yuze pushed himself off the bed and made his way to the bathroom to take care of his morning business. Only after he properly washed his face, brushed his teeth and smoothed down his bird nest of hair did he leave the master bedroom in search of the missing Alpha.

The residence was extremely spacious and opulent, as every inch seemed to be screaming of wealth. Ordinary people might have felt disoriented and overwhelmed trying to navigate this building, but it was different for Mu Yuze, this crime investigator, who had done his rounds before He Juan returned and kept the layout in mind.

First, he checked the kitchen and living room and found no signs of the man there. Then he moved to the second floor, yet his search still yielded no efforts. It was on the third floor that a faint melody drifted to his ears. Following the sound, Mu Yuze found himself at the entrance of the gym, and the scene he spotted through the transparent glass walls made his mouth run dry.

There He Juan was, working out on the pull-up bar. He had stripped out of his shirt, leaving his upper body bare, the sweatpants hanging low on his hips. His long hair was gathered in a messy bun on top of his head, some rebellious strands escaping to frame his striking face.

Mu Yuze watched in awe as his grip tightened around the bar, then his jaws clenched in determination as he effortlessly lifted himself up, the sinewy muscles of his arms and shoulders rippling in a mesmerized dance. Perspiration coated his honey-bronze skin akin to a luminous sheen. Bathed in the sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he seemed to exude a halo-like glow.

Despite the distance between them, somehow Mu Yuze felt like he could hear the Alpha’s rough exhale and feel the alluring warmth emanating from his body. Hell, he could even smell the man’s dizzying and intoxicating scent from where he was standing!

Heavens, he had known that Juan-gege was attractive, but when he worked out seriously like this... he looked like a whole ass delectable meal or a walking pheromones dispenser. Such a stimulating sight was too much for Officer Mu who had just woken up. As such, he could only stand foolishly with his jaws agape as he admired the Alpha’s drool-worthy form.

He only snapped back to his senses when He Juan abruptly turned to meet his eyes, having sensed a heated gaze coming his way.

Upon seeing Mu Yuze, his silver eyes brightened up as he released the bar and gracefully landed on the ground. He went to pull the door open for Mu Yuze.

"Good morning, Xiao Ze," he greeted, his voice carrying a trace of raspy quality from the exercise. "Did you sleep well?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Mu Yuze’s attention lingered on a certain bead of sweat that traced its way down the sculpted contours of He Juan’s mouth-watering abs. The man’s honey bronze skin, adorned with both light and heavy scars, seemed to exude an undeniable masculine charm that kept Mu Yuze entranced. He unconsciously licked his lips and nodded in an absent-minded manner. "Uh-huh..."

A low chuckle resonated above him, and suddenly, that chiseled chest drew nearer to him. A finger tipped his chin up, guiding him to meet He Juan’s amused eyes that sparkled with a knowing light.

"My eyes are here, little rabbit." He teased, his voice dipped low like smooth and velvety chocolate, "Enjoying what you see?"
