Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 46: Do You Mind?

For a split second, He Juan got a very strong déjà vu. Yesterday, just because of his offhand remark, Mu Yuze had lost control of the car and almost caused a chain accident. He Juan was afraid that something like that would happen again and thus before his brain could even process it, his hand had shot forward to grab the steering wheel and coincidentally — landed right atop of Mu Yuze’s hand.

In an instant, the air inside the car froze.

Fortunately, the accident He Juan feared did not happen. But instead, he had made the atmosphere very awkward. An unspeakable tension brewed amidst the silent space, one that caused He Juan’s heart to skip a beat.

After making sure that the car was still running steadily, he withdrew his hand and coughed lightly, heat creeping up his neck. "...I’m sorry."

Goodness, could Mu Yuze be thinking that he was taking the advantage to g–grope his hand? No! He Juan did not mean to do that at all! As much as he wanted to explain his line of thought so that Mu Yuze would not misunderstand him, he had a hunch that it would just sound superfluous as if he really had a guilty conscience...

"Don’t do something like that again. I am driving," Mu Yuze advised him with a serious look.

He Juan: "..." Was this what it meant by picking up a rock only to smash it on his own feet?

For some reason, He Juan had the urge to laugh. He tried to hold it in but in the end, a brief chuckle still slipped out of his mouth. Just like that, the tension in the car thawed and if his eyes did not fail him, he seemed to see a faint smile on the corner of Mu Yuze’s lips...

What were they talking about again? Ah right, Su Xieren. He Juan rubbed his forehead and pondered on how to explain it. "Between me, Molei and Xieren, I am the oldest, but the two of them have always been taking care of me. I consider them my younger brothers." He snuck a glance at Mu Yuze and saw that he was listening seriously. He could not help but smile. "...I’m sorry, I don’t know that it will make you misunderstand. Xiao Ze ah... how can you compare yourself to them?" His tone was filled with helpless doting and it caused a faint blush to spread across Mu Yuze’s cheeks.

"I don’t—" Mu Yuze stumbled over his words. He pressed his lips together into thin stubborn lines. Conflicting emotions flashed through his black-blue eyes, then after a long contemplation, he asked in a quiet voice, "Do you dislike it?"

"Dislike what?"

"Me..." a whisper. "...being all possessive and wanting to monopolize you for myself."

He Juan’s breath caught on his throat and there was a split second where he thought he had died and ascended to Heaven, otherwise how could such a beautiful sentence ever exist in this world?!

"Oh God..." He covered his eyes with a palm and heaved a helpless sigh. Mu Yuze was really one hell of a trial created only for him, wasn’t he? How did he expect He Juan to react when he said something like this?!

"What’s wrong?" Mu Yuze asked after not receiving any response for a while. He sounded so damn nervous that it was bad for He Juan’s heart simply because he was just too adorable!

He Juan looked around and saw that they were already near Su Xieren’s place. He pointed to the front and asked in a calm voice that betrayed the huge turmoil he was feeling right now, "Can you stop here for a while?"

Mu Yuze pursed his lips. He snuck a tentative glance at He Juan as if deliberating whether he should listen or not. But in the end, he still complied and flicked on the car signal. The car slowed and parked smoothly by the side of the road.

Around them, the traffic was still going on smoothly. Streams of cars drove past, illuminating the night with their bright headlights. Pedestrians were walking by the side path, chatting and laughing, yet inside the car it was completely silent to the point of suffocation. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

At last, Mu Yuze could not endure it anymore. "You are—" No sooner than the words formed on his lips, he immediately choked on it.

The unique strand of rosewood and whiskey gradually spread inside the enclosed space, dominating the fresh air and turning it moist with heat. He Juan let out a light exhale and controlled his pheromones output to an acceptable level. After making Mu Yuze get drunk on his pheromone yesterday, he already had an impression on the omega’s endurance level.

As per his calculation, Mu Yuze did not get drunk. He was just... a little taken aback.

He Juan looked into those mesmerizing eyes which had turned slightly dazed and resisted the urge to smile. He thought that he would be nervous to death, yet unexpectedly he was calm — so calm that it surprised even himself.

"Mu Yuze," he called out gently, yet the omega still flinched as if he had been scalded by hot water. "Mu Yuze, I am going to scent you now. Do you mind?"

"...??!!" Mu Yuze’s eyes flew as wide as saucers and his entire person was stunned like a silly deer caught in headlights. His lips parted and closed a few times, yet no words came out of it.

This time, He Juan was unable to hold back a smile. Nonetheless, with the might of imposing pheromones around him, his usually gentle smile gained a tinge of oppression that was both overbearing and irresistible.

Slowly, he undid his seatbelt, leaned forward and pinched Mu Yuze’s cheek lightly, sighing. "I think I understand you a little bit more now. Not only are you a bit dense, you are also very naïve. Honestly, how did you manage to live until this day without being scammed by bad people?"

Mu Yuze blinked, then blinked again, speechless. "I—"

"I think you have no idea what it means to monopolize someone, Xiao Ze." He Juan cut him off. He had a hunch that whatever Mu Yuze was going to say would be very dangerous for his heart. He needed to maintain this momentum to instill a few important points into Mu Yuze’s hard little skull. He knew that Mu Yuze was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart and brilliant. En, maybe just a little too cute and naïve for his own good...

As an elder, it was He Juan’s job to educate him on the ways of life.

The scent of rosewood and whiskey in the air intensified. Mu Yuze’s breath hitched on his throat and the gaze he directed toward He Juan was full of bewilderment and fluster.

Acting as if he noticed nothing, He Juan’s thumb brushed against the spot where he had pinched and then in the next moment, his hand suddenly moved to grab the back of Mu Yuze’s neck, avoiding where the sensitive gland was.

The sudden move caused Mu Yuze to stumble into He Juan’s arms. He was like a wild rabbit caught by the scruff of his neck — dazed and pitiful, tempting the predator to bite into his tender body.

"Your possessiveness is really too... adorable." He Juan let out a strained laugh. He maintained eye contact with Mu Yuze and whispered in a voice filled with endless indulgence that hid the dark desire underneath. "Precious..." the endearment slipped off his lips in the form of the barest whisper. He heaved out a little sigh of relief, maybe because he had been saying it so many times inside his mind.

Precious... that was just how Mu Yuze was to him.

The curve of He Juan’s smile deepened when he saw Mu Yuze’s pupils dilated sharply in shock. He said again, his gentle tone was so stark against his overbearing demeanor. "Precious, look at me. This is how you monopolize someone, okay?"

In the next moment, he gently rotated his wrist and his scent gland rubbed on Mu Yuze’s skin, infusing his very own pheromones on the omega’s body, shamelessly marking him for himself.
