For a split second, Shi An’s mind went blank.
The only thing apparent and distinct in his mind was the touch on his lips.
The other man’s lips were not soft but dry and extremely hot. The invasive breath pressed down on him, instantly invading and taking over all of his senses.
The touch on his chin was rough and slightly painful through a layer of gloves, forcing him to lift his head forcefully and irresistibly.
Immediately afterward, the tip of a hot, wet tongue licked across Shi An’s lower lip.
Like a spark in a dry wasteland, forcing everything into the fiery flames that burned heaven and earth.
Shi An felt his mind stop spinning.
He could not understand what was happening.
His thoughts became sluggish and chaotic like rusty gears twisting together with an overwhelming creaking sound.
Unexpectedly, however, Mu Heng stopped after taking just a sip.
He gave a low chuckle against Shi An’s lips and released him.
The man’s eyelids drooped slightly and his voice trailed off. “Fairy tales don’t lie.”
Mu Heng rubbed his fingertips over a little wet mark on the young man’s lower lip. “Princess can indeed wake up with a kiss.”
His voice grew softer as it became almost inaudible at the end.
Mu Heng lowered his eyes. His silver-white eyelashes trembled twice and slowly closed.
The man’s face was ashen from the blood loss and his body was already at the limit of its exhaustion from fighting while severely wounded. After finally being relieved, the energy he had been holding on to was finally relaxed.
Shi An silently gazed at Mu Heng, half-pressed against him, his expression slightly twisted. “…”
Don’t faint if you have the guts to force a kiss!
And who are you calling a princess?
I’m a dragon, a dragon!
You’re the princess. Your whole family is a princess!
Wait, that’s not right.
I don’t even like princesses. You, humans, framed me!
Shi An took several deep breaths before he could suppress his raging, unspeakable emotional turmoil.
He lowered his head and gazed at the man before him confusedly.
There was a subtle smell of blood on his body, his breathing was light, and his ordinarily stern and cold demeanor was now falling apart, revealing a rare weakness.
Shi An lifted his hand and gently touched his own lips.
That previous incident had occurred in a semi-hazy state when he was in estrus and although Shi An knew it had happened, his memory was fragmented and fractured. Despite his efforts to recall it, it was only a vague and disconnected fragment.
But not this time.
This time, it had happened while he was fully awake and the memory of those few seconds earlier had been too clear to be erased from his mind, even if he did try to forget.
Shi An frowned, revealing a look of bewilderment and confusion.
At that time, Mu Heng should have fallen under Black Smoke’s illusion and mixed up his dreams with reality.
But he was awake this time, ah?
Shi An couldn’t figure it out.
Had… he misunderstood?
After all, Mu Heng himself had said earlier that he was an “important friend.”
It was like for a dragon to rub its head on another dragon’s wings or rub each other’s snout. It was a way of showing friendship. Meanwhile, rubbing the tail was a more serious matter as it was a sign that the dragon wished to have sex with the other dragon. Although Mu Heng had also touched his tail, he did not know how dragons got along, nor did he know that he was a dragon. Therefore, Shi An would never think of it in that direction.
So…
For humans, kissing was perhaps not that remarkable but some very common courtesy.
Shi An took the opportunity to stroke Mu Heng’s long silver hair a few times before moving the unconscious man off his body and putting on his jacket to step outside the tent.
Soon, medical professionals hurriedly poured into the tent, the beeping sound of medical instruments coming through the cracks of the tent.
Wen Yao walked out of the tent and her voice subconsciously softened as she looked at Shi An. “Although you’re awake now, the medical tent is too crude and simple. I will arrange for someone to send you to the hospital for a full body inspection later.”
Shi An nodded obediently.
Wen Yao couldn’t help but reach out and rub the top of the young man’s soft hair. “You don’t need to worry about the Chief here. We will take care of him.”
Shi An: “…”
Why does this sentence sound a bit strange?
***
In the hospital.
Shi An had just pushed open the ward door when he heard a vaguely emotional voice ring from a short distance away.
“Shi An!”
The next second, Shi An was hugged by Zhao She, who rushed up like a whirlwind.
“Too great! You’re all right!”
The tall, strong student before him was covered in bandages and although he appeared to be in an awful state, he was still immensely intimidating. Still, his eyes were filled with tears and he looked particularly emotional right now almost as if he was at a loss for words. “G-Good gracious! I’ve been worried to death. There was no news about you after so long and the Bureau’s people didn’t get in touch with us. I almost thought something had happened to you!”
Zhao She looked remorseful and gnashed his teeth. “It was all my fault. I said to you that I would return with reinforcements at the fastest speed, but in the end–”
Right then, he heard Shi An say in a weak voice in his arms. “… You, too tight…”
Only then did Zhao She snap out of his dream, hurriedly releasing Shi An and asked nervously, “How are you? Are you okay?”
Shi An took a deep breath. “… N-Not bad.”
It’s just that I was a little out of breath.
