Demand a Favor in Return (2)

There were video games, countless snacks, and humans who volunteered to run errands for him.

Shi An was having a blast staying in the hospital.

Until that day when he suddenly received a call from Zhuo Fu.

“An An, you have to help me! Chief Mu’s body hasn’t recovered yet, but he already wants to work. He didn’t listen to our persuasion. You’re the only one who could persuade him now!”

Shi An: “?”

Huh?

But before he could think clearly about its relevance, he was unceremoniously escorted by Zhuo Fu to the Bureau.

He was familiar with this area of the Bureau as he had been brought here by Mu Heng for a medical check-up last time.

As Zhuo Fu led Shi An forward, he rambled on about how traumatizing Mu Heng’s arrival had been – not only did he not listen to medical advice, but he was also mentally violent to the person responsible for treating him, namely Zhuo Fu himself, making him the most difficult patient in the world to deal with.

A translucent, inorganic glass door was at the end of the corridor.

A dark silhouette of a man was faintly visible inside.

Soon, the glass door opened with a loud “beep.”

Wen Yao, holding a stack of documents, came out of it.

She had recently been in charge of collecting information related to the dragon and the mercenaries, including part of the follow-up process on the Aiwen District. Although Mu Heng’s body had not yet completely healed, he had returned to the intensity of his work before his injury. As subordinates, Wen Yao and the others were very concerned, but they were powerless to stop their chief from acting irrationally. The most they could do was not yield on the “no field trips” part.

At the sight of Shi An, Wen Yao was surprised for a moment and turned her head to look at Zhuo Fu.

“This is…”

Zhuo Fu winked at her. “Aren’t you worried about Chief Mu’s health? Isn’t the solution here now?”

Wen Yao froze and revealed a look of dawning realization.

She smiled at Shi An and side-stepped out of the way, a trace of eagerness hard to see what was going to go down now that the young man was here. “Hurry up and enter. Chief has waited so long for you.”

Shi An: “?”

You, humans, are so hard to understand.

What is all of this?

Zhuo Fu pressed his palm on a switch to the side and the door opened with just a beep.

Mu Heng sat on the hospital bed, his long silver hair unbound and cascading down like a brilliant waterfall. He was not wearing his usual jacket but still customarily covering every inch of his body.

His face was pale, his stern brow furrowed as he glanced down at the papers before him.

When he heard the door open, Mu Heng raised his eyes quizzically and looked over in the direction where the sound came from.

Mu Heng faintly froze the moment he saw Shi An.

He seemed to have realized what was going on in the next second and his eyes suddenly turned stern, glaring straight at Zhuo Fu beside Shi An with a gaze so sharp it was like that of a cold blade.

Zhuo Fu had the sense to shrink behind Shi An. “Hahahaha. I suddenly remember that I still have things to do in the lab. You guys can chat first. Hahaha!”

He escaped from the room and was out of sight in the blink of an eye.

Shi An and Mu Heng were left in the large magic treatment chamber.

Mu Heng: “…”

He raised his hand and pinched his brow, gritting his teeth and saying in a cold voice, “Zhuo Fu, this guy…”

Shi An walked over to the hospital bed and examined the man in front of him up and down.

Although he couldn’t see much from the outside, he could sense through the vague fluctuations of his magic power that Mu Heng was still in a fragile state.

Zhuo Fu was right.

Shi An suddenly became solemn.

This would not do!

As his future collection, he must protect his body before that day comes!

He frowned slightly and said seriously, “You should have a proper rest now.”

Mu Heng looked at the young man in front of him, and under the other man’s solemn gaze, he subconsciously softened his voice.

“… Don’t listen to their nonsense.”

Shi An asked, “So, have you rested properly?”

Mu Heng’s eyes flashed. “…”

Shi An sighed and shook his head disapprovingly. “Your hair will lose its luster if you’re too tired.”

Mu Heng was stunned. “…”

He had not expected Shi An to use this reason to persuade him, so he could not help but be baffled.

However, the other party looked earnest.

Mu Heng finally gave in and sighed, closing the document in front of him.

“Okay.”

He pushed the document away and raised his eyes to look at Shi An.

The young man before him had a fair face. His eyes were ultra-clear and black, and the curves of his eyes were round and curved, looking well-behaved and soft without being lush. His light-colored lips were slightly pursed, the corners of his mouth set down in a slight curve, looking very soft and suitable for a kiss.

Mu Heng’s eyes were slightly dark and his blue eyes were like a bottomless abyss beneath the sea’s surface.

The next second, his mind flashed back to Zhuo Fu’s words that day.

You can’t scare someone until you know whether they are interested or not.

One must not take advantage of someone’s misfortune and demand a favor in return.

Mu Heng averted his eyes with some unease.

He took a deep breath and said with some difficulty in a low, slightly hoarse voice. “That day–”

Shi An was stunned.

… Right!

Mu Heng had just said two words before getting stuck, his eyes flickering slightly, his expression hesitant.

What to say…

At that moment, a little shadow suddenly pressed down.

Mu Heng regained his senses and his pupils suddenly constricted.

He saw the young man droop his eyes, his long eyelashes covering his dark eyes, and gently and silently leaned down to approach him.

A little warm and soft touch fell on his lips.

The muscles in Mu Heng’s body tensed instantly, his finger bones clenching fiercely.

Time seemed to stop flowing.

Shi An’s eyelashes fluttered as he raised his eyes and gazed into the slightly hazy dark blue eyes of the man in front of him, frowning a little in confusion.

… Eh? Shouldn’t it be like this?

He was following Mu Heng’s way! Could it be that something was done wrong?

Shi An pondered seriously for a few seconds, then blinked and tried to draw back.

But in the next second, the man’s long, strong fingers clasped the young man’s slender waist and applied force to his palm, violently bringing him forward.

“!!!”

Shi An’s eyes widened in shock as he was thrown off balance, stumbled forward, and then was trapped firmly in the other man’s arms.

With his chin pinched, Shi An was forced to lift his head and open his mouth to withstand the other man’s fierce licking and nibbling.

His lips were numb and aching, his breath was suppressed, and the wet, watery sound of lips and tongue entwined was heard in his ears.

The corners of the young man’s eyes reddened while his mind was muddled and confused.

…?

H-Hold on?

Something didn’t seem right about where this was going.

Beneath the silvery white eyelashes, the man’s eyes burned with a hot, dark fire, fierce and violent, swirling with a devouring heat.

So what if he did take advantage of someone’s difficulties and demanded a favor in return?

As long as he gets the person.
