Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 47: Precious?

Mu Yuze’s face exploded in crimson. His whole body stilled and he did not even breathe as he let the Alpha do whatever he wanted.

He Juan was inexorably pleased by the omega’s obedience and his grip on Mu Yuze’s nape became much gentler. Not only that, he also released soothing pheromones, trying to get Mu Yuze’s tense body to relax.

This was the first time He Juan had ever marked someone with his scent. He had heard a lot of stories about possessive Alphas who scented their lovers and partners, mainly to claim their stake on the other. Technically speaking, scenting did not only signify possessiveness, but it could also be used as protection and comfort. A parent could scent their children to express intimacy, a husband could scent his anxious wife to calm her down, and so on.

Yet it was inevitable that some people would use it to commit crime. There were a few cases where Alphas forcibly left their scent on unwilling parties, and such a case would automatically fall under sexual harassment.

Except for the last few years, society had not been very kind to omegas. They were born with a severe disadvantage over physique and pheromones. Alphas treated them like an object of possession, a trophy to be displayed, a wallflower who should obediently stay at home and give birth to children. This matter had caused a lot of controversy over the years. It was not until the current prime minister, who was an omega, stepped up to the position that a law against forced scenting was imposed on the public. Since then, omegas’ livelihood had become much better.

Nonetheless, it was very difficult for Alphas to suppress their inherent nature. They were born to command, to dominate and possess.

Whenever He Juan heard about it, he would always feel like this kind of matter was very far from himself. Never had he expected that...

I am really an Alpha, He Juan bemused.

He Juan ran the tip of his nose along Mu Yuze’s temple, inhaling his own scent that had entangled intimately with the omega’s. His chest rumbled in delight and he could not help but take a few more whiffs of it. Oh God, he could get drunk on how divine the combination of their scents were...

"Are you angry?" he inquired quietly, his voice much lower than usual. Even if he asked something like this, he really had no idea what to do if Mu Yuze really got angry. Well, perhaps... there was only one thing he could do as compensation. He threw an offer to the other, his tone was endlessly indulgent as if coaxing a sulking lover. "I will let you scent me too. How about it?"

He Juan had read quite a lot of articles stating that Alphas would loathe to be scented by their partner because it would make them feel constrained, which was opposite of their natural disposition.

However, when He Juan carefully searched within himself, he did not sense any repulsion whatsoever at the notion of being scented by Mu Yuze. Instead, the mere idea of carrying the omega’s scent on his body made him feel... thrilled. He could not believe how much he was anticipating it! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

On the contrary, it was Mu Yuze who whipped his head up in shock as if he could not believe that such words could come out of He Juan’s lips.

Was it really so shocking? He Juan could not help but chuckle, his silver eyes dancing in mirth. He lightly squeezed the soft flesh on the back of Mu Yuze’s nape and said, "I am serious, Xiao Ze. Won’t you consider scenting me too?" The corner of his lips tilted into an enticing smile. "I’d like to carry your scent on my body."

As the weight of his words settled between them, Mu Yuze’s pupils trembled violently. "You..." he gripped the hem of He Juan’s sleeves so tight that his knuckles turned white. His voice shook, full of hesitation, hope and something more; too complicated for He Juan to comprehend. "What did you call me earlier...?"

Being asked a sudden question like this caused He Juan’s brain to draw a blank. He had said a lot of things, but which one was Mu Yuze referring to? It took him a few long seconds to repeat the recent scenes between them before his mind clicked.

He blinked, and his smile turned more dazzling. "...Precious?"

Mu Yuze sucked in a sharp breath as if someone had just punched him right in the gut. His face, if it was even possible, became even redder that blood could practically be squeezed out of it. Not only that, he was also losing control of his pheromones. The alluring scent of peppermint and lavender faintly seeped out of the gland patch, making the temperature around them rise even more.

He Juan had never expected him to react so strongly like this. Seeing the flustered omega who did not know where to put his hands and feet, He Juan’s heart was very itchy as if a soft feather was grazing across it.

Unable to help himself, he said again, almost in a purr. "Precious... can I call you that?" He pinched Mu Yuze’s crimson earlobe and marveled at how warm it was.

Mu Yuze’s words came out in stumbles, flustered and bewildered in equal measure. "But... why..."

"You have no idea, Xiao Ze..." he chuckled lightly. "That’s why I said that you are too naïve. You have no idea, the one who wants to possess and monopolize... has always been me."

It was unknown whether it was the effect of a superior Alpha’s pheromones or He Juan’s passionate confession, the rims of Mu Yuze’s eyes suddenly reddened and a layer of mist formed on his usually frosty black-blue eyes. He looked seconds away from bursting into tears.

He Juan was so shocked that he immediately took back his pheromones. He only wanted to teach Mu Yuze a small lesson so that he would not be so oblivious toward his own charm, not to make him cry like this!

"Wait— Xiao Ze, don’t cry..." Flustered, he gently brushed his thumb across Mu Yuze’s damp lashes. His expression was helpless and full of remorse. "Have Gege frightened you too much?"

Mu Yuze grabbed his wrist tightly, preventing him from drawing back. "No..." he choked out with much difficulty. "I just... I thought that you would..."

"Would dislike you for being jealous and possessive?"

Mu Yuze pursed his lips and gave a barely discernible nod.

"Oh God, Mu Yuze..." An exasperated groan escaped He Juan’s lips.

He really had no idea what to do with this person. One second he made He Juan want to bite into his tender flesh hard enough to draw blood and in the next moment, he turned around and gave this little adorable act that flooded He Juan’s heart with tenderness and affection. He Juan wanted nothing but to show Mu Yuze his heart so the omega would realize how much he meant to He Juan.

Gently, he cupped Mu Yuze’s small face within his broad palms and showed an affectionate smile. "Foolish boy, listen to me. There is no power under this universe — I swear on my life for it — that will make me dislike you. You can act spoiled, throw tantrums or get mad all you want, and I will still like you no matter what. Are we clear on this? Mu Yuze?"

"Mn," Mu Yuze gave a little nod, then he could not help but file a complaint under his breath, "I won’t act spoiled, throw tantrums or get mad. I am not a child." The way he grumbled in a sullen tone was exactly like a child.

"Pfft... hahaha!" He Juan threw his head back and laughed freely in delight. It was so magical how easy it was for He Juan to be lost in joy whenever he was in Mu Yuze’s presence.

When he came to his senses, Mu Yuze was glowering at him with flushed cheeks like a grumpy little rabbit.

He Juan forcibly curbed his laughter and ruffled the omega’s fluffy hair, the traces of mirth still present in his bright silver eyes. "Alright, alright, don’t be mad. Gege won’t laugh at you anymore, okay?" He could only last for one and a half seconds before bursting into chuckles again.

Mu Yuze silently rolled his eyes. Taking He Juan off guard, he suddenly exerted strength and pushed He Juan back to the seat, then reached out across him to pull on the seatbelt.

Click.

The series of movements were completed smoothly. In less than two seconds, the impudently laughing He Juan was already bound by the seatbelt and was unable to stretch out his sneaky paws anymore.

"Don’t take off your seatbelt when someone is driving, it is very dangerous." Mu Yuze lectured him with a stern expression. Alas, it would definitely look twice as imposing if only his face was not so red like a boiled lobster.

Unable to resist this onslaught of cuteness, He Juan laughed again.

With a harrumph, Mu Yuze returned his gaze to the front and flicked on another car signal. With a turn of the wheel, the car merged together with the busy traffic again, carrying them to Su Xieren’s apartment.
