Doubt Was a Strange Thing (2)
The other person didn’t have any expression on his face and only extended his hand toward Shi An.
“Come here.”
Shi An hesitated for two seconds but still took a step and walked over.
Mu Heng reached out and took the young man’s slender wrist, making a skillful move with his hand. With just a gentle spin, he made the other party sit in his embrace with ease.
Shi An: “…”
The heat of the other party’s chest effortlessly passed through the thin fabric, causing him to stiffen his body involuntarily.
Mu Heng lowered his eyes. The emotions of his gaze falling on the young man’s body were unreadable.
The guava-flavored shampoo smell was mixed with a hint of seawater saltiness.
It was extremely light.But it could still be captured.
He wrapped one arm around the young man’s waist, using the fingertips of his other hand to pick up a strand of his hair. Along with the magic wave sweeping through, the wet vapor from the other’s hair disappeared, and even the end of the hair became dry.
Through the bathrobe, he could feel the young man’s soft and slender waist curvature, the delicate and slightly cool skin, and the muscles underneath the skin tensing up as if getting ready to strike.
Mu Heng leaned down and softly sniffed the other party’s hair.
“After I left, did you leave the cabin?”
Shi An said dryly, “… N-No.”
He stiffened even more.
“Why?”
At that moment, many scraps of fragments flew through his mind.
For example…
Some details that had never been focused on.
Why was it only a simple abduction with minimal injury after each rescue?
The dragon was too forgiving, almost unlike the legendary cruel creatures that take pleasure in predation.
For instance…
Some unexpected answers.
The young man tilted his head and answered with utmost earnestness.
The dragon was a giant, gorgeous, beautiful creature.
Magnificent and fascinating.
When saying these words, his look was earnest and sincere as if he was extremely sure of his answer.
Or maybe it was an accidental disclosure of some information.
Why had the dragon avoided the trap in the Aiwen District, and why had it arrived and bloodied the cultists’ base before them?
Mu Heng chuckled lightly. “It’s nothing. I’m just asking.”
He lowered his head, kissed the other party’s hair, and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you tired today?”
Shi An couldn’t determine why the other party would ask this question.
He nodded honestly. “… A bit.”
“Sleep with me?” Mu Heng pecked the young man’s cold earlobe and asked close to his ear.
Shi An: “…”
Even though he did need to have a bit more physical contact with Mu Heng so that those abyssal magical powers could be absorbed sooner.
But… Mu Heng asking this suddenly made Shi An feel a little uneasy.
There is something strange about it.
However, after pondering for a long time, Shi An still hesitantly said, “We can?”
Mu Heng laughed lowly.
He let go of Shi An and said, “I will take a bath.”
It was nighttime.
Shi An blinked his tearful eyes, his voice soft and muffled, pushing against the other party’s shoulder. “D-Don’t lick it anymore.”
Mu Heng pinched Shi An’s waist.
“You’re too sensitive.”
He came up to kiss him. “No problem. It’ll be good after trying it a few more times.”
Shi An whimpered and shook his head. “It won’t… don’t….”
Mu Heng’s eyes were extremely dark like a bottomless abyss, the depths tumbling with a heavy, aggressive desire like a dangerous ocean that rolled silently in the night.
He sucked Shi An’s lower lip and said in a coaxing tone, “Be good. Bring your legs together.”
Shi An blinked his eyes, his eyelashes still carrying the teardrops that were going to fall but did not fall.
He looked at the other party blankly, the look in his eyes was doubtful and confused, but he still obediently let the other party manipulate him.
***
It was initially just a fake bath, but he was forced to take a bath this time.
Shi An buried his red face into the cold arm, revealing only the two hot ears.
Before, he could still use the estrus period as an excuse, but this time…
He was indeed conscious.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH–
Once again, Shi An had the urge to bury himself forever.
Wasn’t it just lying together and sleeping before?
Why did several more steps come out now?
And why would it be different from before?
Shi An buried his head deeper.
He felt a slight pain in his inner thigh.
… It must have been red.
***
The night was getting dark.
Mu Heng turned his head and looked at the young man beside him.
Perhaps because of the rush during the day and the exhaustion just now, the other party had already fallen into a deep sleep.
The soft black hair was scattered on the pillow, half of his fair face was buried in the soft pillow, long black eyelashes hanging quietly, his breathing was shallow and even, looking quiet and harmless so that people’s hearts could not help but soften.
He leaned in close and gazed at the young man’s sleeping face.
Doubt was a strange thing.
When it never arose, not even the most evidence could alarm people. It was like living in the eternal night and never knowing if you were blind.
However, once it arose, it could no longer disappear.
Mu Heng lifted his hand and gently moved to ruffle the young man’s bangs.
He leaned down and slowly kissed the other person’s bare, cold forehead.
Under the long silver-white eyelashes, a pair of dark blue eyes were hidden in the shadows. Dark black clouds grew at the bottom of his eyes like a stubbornly wild branch sprouting and spreading out, revealing a bit of an almost depressingly cold color.
The fingertips gently glide down, lingering in the soft corners of the young man’s lips.
Even if it was what he guessed, so what?
It didn’t matter.
Mu Heng narrowed his eyes, thinking absent-mindedly.
The next time, he would not give the other person any chance to choose.
Because staying by his side would be the only option.
