The Assassin's Enemy Lover

Chapter 192

192 Are you jealous?

With the bottle emptied Zi Han got up to get ready for a shower. He grabbed his stuff and left the locker room leaving behind a vexed Li Ran.

This pair seemed to influence each other’s moods which he found quite odd. His curiosity piqued he called out to Shorty, “Hey, do you know what’s going on between these two?” he asked but the looks he got from both Shorty and Shaun had him rephrasing his question.

“I mean, they seem you know, too close.... why are you looking at me like that?”

“Aren’t you two besties? We should be the ones asking that question,” replied Shaun despite the fact that the question wasn’t directed at him.

“What? Are you jealous? I know it’s sucks being replaced, right?” said Shaun in a mocking tone. He was very nice to his circle of friends but he was a stick of dynamite to others and Li Ran happened to be his victim today.

“Makes sense. Han Han is more handsome than you,” said Shaun only for Li Ran to fire back with a response that had them both shutting their mouths.

“You do realize that I can gain access to your light brains in a matter of seconds and spend all your star coins, right?” he said before walking away with a smug look on his face.

“Fuck,” muttered Shaun watching Li Ran walk away, “you just had to go on and provoke him.”

“Hey, you are the one who called him ugly?” said Shorty throwing the pot over Shaun’s head, “we almost offended that great buddha and it’s all your fuckin fault.” Shorty elbowed Shaun expressing his dissatisfaction.

.....

Unfortunately for him, Shaun was the type to escalate and not deescalate things. He grabbed Shorty and put him in a chokehold and the two of them began to fight.

Everyone else in the locker room simply gave them a side glance before continuing with their own thing. Who didn’t know how these two operated?

If one gets in the middle of it they would end up getting ganged up on by these two. When it came to Shaun and Shorty, it was only crucial that one mind their own business.

Ten minutes later and Zi Han was standing by his opened locker applying cream to his arms. Shorty was sitting on the bench his hair looking like he had just escaped from the chicken coop.

Zi Han glanced over and said, “You have a bald patch,” with a slight quirk at the corner of his lips.

Shaun pressed his lips together stifling his laughter. Shorty glared at the both of them while cursing, “What are you smiling for? If I can’t find a wife because of this I am either marrying your sister or his mother as compensation.”

Zi Han broke out in laughter while Shaun reprimanded him, “Don’t even think about it. If you dare think of her it won’t only be your hair that you will be losing,” said Shaun before Zi Han interjected,

“I was just messing with you. Go take a shower already and stop sulking.”

Shaun grabbed Shorty’s arm and the two of them left for the shower room. Zi Han picked a clean t-shirt from his locker but before he could put it on someone stood behind him and stretched out his arm to grab the cream from his locker their chest accidentally brushing against Zi Han’s back.

His initial reaction was to elbow that person in the gut but that familiar scent of xxx had his back tense as he froze in place.

He wanted to turn around and ask Yi Chen what he was playing at but his body turned stiff like a statue and he couldn’t move.

“Is this why you keep smelling like citrus all day?” said Yi Chen his head deliberately lowered speaking next to Zi Han’s ear.

He flipped the cap open and smelt it. His brow arched upwards as he said “Smells delicious.”

Zi Han’s eyes widened his body feeling hot all over like he had been set alight. His breathing quickened as a sense of danger arose inside of him.

The patch of skin on his back that had accidentally brushed against Yi Chen’s slightly damp chest felt itchy with a tingle spreading like an electric current all over his body.

He should have been able to figure out what was happening to him but now his IQ was offline and there was only static in his brain.

“Can I use it,” asked Yi Chen his warm breath brushing against Zi Han making his insides shudder.

Unable to bear such blatant provocation, Zi Han tried to step away but the moment he moved his finger brushed against Yi Chen’s abs. That’s because his movements were too hasty and now it was making him look like a pervert.

“If you don’t want to get hit in the gut you better move,” he said but Yi Chen didn’t listen. Instead, he brazenly said,

“Try it and you will see what will happen,” he said before licking his lips and suppressing a smile. He couldn’t wait for Zi Han to try it. If he did Yi Chen would surely eat some tofu today.

His happiness was short lived though.

That’s because Zi Han wasn’t stupid. Besides the fact that this was one fight he could never win, he had a feeling that two men fighting shirtless would lead to a catastrophe especially when one of them had received a revelation.

Images of that fight he watched that happened on the bed between those two in the adult film popped into his mind and he suddenly felt so ashamed.

He just wanted to run away and hide under his quilt. This time Zi Han stepped aside after calming himself down considerably.

“How can I be that disrespectful.... Captain,” he said deliberately lowering his voice while calling him that.

Yi Chen’s eyes darkened as he stared at Zi Han with that loving gaze. He wanted to pull him into his arms and hug him but there were so many people around. He could only watch on as Zi Han put on his t-shirt like the fire he had just started now had nothing to do with him.

This situation right here was the perfect example of one playing with fire with zero awareness of how hot it can get. Fuel had been added and this fire was approaching a critical level. It would be shocking if Zi Han would escape from this vicious firestorm unscathed.
