Free Web NovelChapter 484: One track mind
*Knock knock*
"Hmm..."
*Knock knock* *Knock knock*
Jia stirred in her sleep, a yawn escaping her lips. "What...?"
She woke up groggily and it took her a few moments to orient herself. Amidst this, the incessant knocking continued. With barely open eyelids, she opened the door, another yawn escaping her mouth.
"Who...?"
"It’s me, Spicy!!!"
Though Mingshen was filled with jest, his voice was toned down to a whisper. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Mingshen?" His eyes widened slightly. She glanced left and right in the corridor and looked back at him. "What are you doing here at five in the morning?"
"Early medical checkup~"
"Huh? Checkup?" She blinked, confused. "I am fine though."
"Are you sure? Especially after the intense time we rolled in the shee-"
Within a flash of moment that was nearly invisible to the naked eye, her palms slapped on his lips, horror passing across her features.
"Sshh! What do you think you are doing!"
She grabbed his arm and pulled him inside, closing the door behind him.
"Don’t talk so openly in the corridor! What if somebody heard you?"
"But everybody is asleep."
"Clearly, you are awake," her brow twitched.
With his handsome features lit up with cuteness on full display, he held her hands, drawing circles on the back of her hand. "Because I was worried about you. I had wanted you to rest in the morning, but you seduced me~ So I came to check how badly you are sore."
Jia stared at the circle drawing and then at his face. A face that looked...cute indeed. Cuteness that she never imagined she would feel towards him. Almost to the point that an urge consumed to pinch his cheeks. But she refrained herself.
His teasing will never end if I do that...
"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Yang-"
"Call me Mingshen," he pouted lightly. "Dr. Yang feels distant."
She coughed. "Thank you for your concern, Mingshen. But I am fine. I was having a good night’s sleep too - that was until you decided to drop a surprise medical visit."
He grinned. "Are you thrilled? Doesn’t it feel so exciting meeting secretly like this? Feels like we are doing something forbidden~" fгeewebnovёl.com
"And this forbidden meeting ends now? You should leave before anyone wakes up for real."
"How could you throw me out so soon? We have barely even started. It’s cuddle time!!"
Mingshen jumped in bed quite unreservedly and patted the space beside him with eyes that sparkled like a galaxy was settled in them.
She sweated. "Seriously, if Uncle or Aunt finds out..."
"We will be fine~ You are a cop, remember? You are pro in hiding clues~"
She grimaced. "I am pro in finding them, not hiding myself."
"You will learn the good part too~" he chuckled. "Now, come, come."
Jia coughed and eventually climbed in the bed beside him. He was quick to wrap his arm around her waist as if she would jump away the next moment.
"My bed was feeling too big and lonely. This feels perfect!"
Bright...It’s too bright...
Almost blinded by his natural charisma that only grew cuter and cuter by every passing second, Jia held deep concerns about her sanity.
Why the hell am I suddenly finding him cute?
Jia adjusted herself against the pillow, trying very hard to ignore the fact that Mingshen had attached himself to her like an oversized clingy cat. Added to that his sheepish grin, it was nearly impossible for Jia to not squish his cheeks. It took every last strand of her control to refrain herself from doing anything silly.
"This should be illegal," she muttered.
"Mm. Arrest me then~ If Spicy doesn’t mind..." he blushed, "I am all up for a role play. You can handcuff me against the bed as a criminal and you, as a cop, use your "special" investigative techniques to squeeze the truth out of me~~"
"Huh," she raised her brow. "And what "special" techniques are you imagining in your dirty mind?"
"Lots and lots!" He shone. "Only if I could bluetooth transfer my graphic thoughts to you."
"No, thanks. I can already imagine all the censored part."
"Censor is too innocent of a word, dear," he blinked innocently. "After our intense shower workout, I cannot think of anything else but that. And then it came to my mind! It would be so awesome if you wrap yourself with ribbons - all naked and seduce me!"
"..."
Jia’s jaw dropped without missing a beat.
I don’t know about our bluetooth connection but you sure do have one hell of a connection with Huojin!!
Wh...What is wrong with you two! Their brains really operates in one track!
She inhaled several deep breaths and tried to calm down.
"Yeah that will never happen so let’s move on."
He grumbled. "Why not? Don’t you want to surprise me on my birthday?"
Her brow twitched.
Here I was planning to scoop that info out sneakily but he brought it out himself...
"I think of sensible and reasonable gifts."
"Naked Spicy present is totally sensible and reasonable," Mingshen didn’t hesitate for even half of a second.
She smiled. "You know, Mingshen. I prefer to be non-violent on your birthday."
"Non-violent is boring~"
She gasped. "Are you...Are you a masochist?"
"I mean...if you are willing to become the sadist, then I am fine with whatever~" he squeezed her within his arms, his grin widening.
She decided not to engage with that battle and instead quietly studied him. It was strange seeing him like this - relaxed, unguarded, almost boyishly bright. Usually his teasing carried an annoying edge to it, but right now he simply looked content.
She cleared her throat. "Be serious."
Mingshen stared at her for a long second, as if genuinely considering the impossible request. Then he sighed dramatically.
"Alright, alright. Serious mode activated."
"Finally."
He adjusted himself slightly on the pillow, though his arm stubbornly remained around her waist.
"For my birthday," he said quieter this time, the playful sparkle in his eyes softening just a little.
Jia strained her eyes.
"I think..."
"Uh huh."
"I want a naked cop tied in a ribbon interrogating a bad criminal after handcuffing him to bed."
"..."
She glared and smacked a pillow against his chest. "Fine! I will think about it myself! Clearly, your dirty mind is of no use."
He pouted.
"Jia?" Came Bingqing’s soft voice from outside, forcing Jia to stiffen in ice.
A-Aunt!?
