Yes, It’s a Love Relationship (2)
He stared at the coffee cup in his hand with a twisted expression, greatly shocked.
Why did humans make this stuff?
And more importantly…
Why would anyone volunteer to drink it?
Shi An looked up blankly and slowly at Mu Heng sitting across from him.
Mu Heng raised his eyebrows. “How was it?”
Shi An: “…”
He lowered his head to look reluctantly at the rest of the chocolate parfait in his cup, then pushed it over with a sympathetic look.
Mu Heng: “…”
He wasn’t sure of the reason, but he could sense an odd look from the other party.
He lowered his eyelashes, swept his eyes over the ice cream pushed in front of him, and then raised his eyes to look at Shi An. “For me?”
Shi An nodded.
His collection was pathetic. One could tell that he hadn’t eaten anything delicious before.
Mu Heng shook his head. “No need. You can eat it.”
Shi An asked, “Are you sure? It’s truly delicious.”
Mu Heng nodded his head.
Shi An dragged the ice cream back when Mu Heng nodded and said vaguely as he ate it, “I hope you won’t regret it.”
Soon, Shi An devoured all the ice cream on the table.
He narrowed his eyes insatiably, stood up, and followed Mu Heng outside.
However, Mu Heng’s pace suddenly stopped and his voice was low and calm. “I did regret it a little.”
The man in front of him turned around, his eyes backlit, appearing dark and deep.
Shi An said, “… Eh?”
Mu Heng leaned down and slightly curved his fingers, hooking up Shi An’s chin and lowering his eyes to kiss him.
Perhaps it was because he had just eaten ice cream, but the young man’s lips were cold and sweet, with a little chocolate aroma and the smell of fresh milk and a hint of bitter coffee.
Mu Heng licked the corner of Shi An’s lips and released a soft smile.
“Indeed, not bad.”
After speaking, he let go of Shi An and calmly turned to walk out. “Let’s go. I’ll send you to return home.”
Shi An stood in place with a frown on his face.
He pursed his lips, the burning body heat of a human seemingly still lingering on the surface of his lips, not dissipating for a long time.
Shi An couldn’t help but start thinking about his life.
Where on earth would this etiquette apply?
Something didn’t feel right.

Shi An was sent back to the small villa he had lived in.
The old butler hadn’t seen him for a long time and although he tried to restrain himself, he couldn’t help but cry when he saw Shi An. He wiped the tears from his eyes and pulled Shi An to ask him some questions until he was so sleepy that he couldn’t keep his eyes open before reluctantly letting him go upstairs.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, Shi An flung himself onto his bed.
The treasures hidden under the mattress made a clanging metallic sound, which was very pleasant to the ears.
Shi An yawned and dazedly began to imagine what it would be like to get all the treasure back, pile it up into a huge bed, and bury his whole body underneath it.
Ah… Looking forward to that day.
“Hu hu… hu hu hu…”
A whining, sobbing sound reached Shi An’s ears.
Shi An: “…”
He opened his eyes expressionlessly and looked in the direction where the sound was coming from.
He saw a large, dark red-eyed figure with two thin legs propping up a disproportionate body standing at his window, crying sadly with two thin hands covering its eyes.
Shi An slowly clenched his fists.
Damn it, he knew this thing wouldn’t give up that easily.
But Shi An was just too sleepy now.
He yawned, blinked away the tears at the corners of his eyes, and asked in an extremely sleepy voice, “What on earth do you want…”
The Eye cried even louder.
“Hu hu hu… I-I know I’m not a match for you and I can understand why you rejected my confession. You’re beautiful and formidable, a perfect being in this world. B-But… what’s so good about that human? Hu hu hu hu!”
Shi An: “???”
What the hell are you talking about?
The Eye crawled through the window, tears falling to the floor, and looked at Shi An with grief.
“W-Why would you do that kind of thing with that human?”
Shi An: “… W-What thing?”
A delicate blush spread across the Eye’s face, and its two delicate hands were placed together. “T-That muah muah*.”
*T/N: Kissing sound.
Shi An: “…”
That’s a little disgusting.
However, he quickly caught the point of the other party’s words and frowned slightly as he repeated.
“Muah muah?”
Five minutes later.
Shi An was sleep deprived and sat blankly on his bed.
He slowly turned his head to the Eye. “So, kissing isn’t a human etiquette?”
The Eye replied, “That isn’t wrong, but it’s only limited to the cheeks and the back of the hand. The mouth-on-mouth one is only done between lovers.”
Shi An asked, “L-Lovers?”
He repeated it dryly and asked, somewhat incredulously, “That…”
“Yes, it’s a love relationship.” The Eye covered its face shyly.
Shi An: “…”
Hold on?
Wait a minute?
Memories of the previous days came to his mind like a tidal wave.
Shi An was dumbfounded.
So he, the world’s last Abyssal Dragon, had unexpectedly established a love relationship with Mu Heng, the world’s only remaining dragon slayer and his future collection, without his knowledge?
