Chapter 69

Of course, I like you too.


“Mr. Bai, are you alright?” The inspector delivering the meal at the door was a local Swiss, his expression filled with fear and his blue eyes wide. “Have you really recovered?”

Judging by his ready-to-sprint posture, the man seemed prepared to flee at any moment. However, Bai Sheng remained relaxed, opening the silver meal tray with a smile and glancing at its contents. “Ah, recovered? What recovered?”

Inspector: “…”

Bai Sheng wore only loose shorts, unreservedly displaying his upper body. The muscles enhanced by advanced evolution were strikingly strong and defined, and his six-pack abs were visually impressive. Under his left collarbone, two blood-red S-shaped marks were enough to send chills down one’s spine.

He lightly placed a hand on the door, his fingers long and slender with distinct joints. The inspector had no doubt that this slender, graceful hand could disassemble him into 206 bones in a second, laying out his skin and flesh neatly on the floor to dry.

For a few moments, the inspector couldn’t help but feel deep sympathy for Supervisor Shen, struggling to imagine how he had endured these past few days. Especially considering that Supervisor Shen, always tightly wrapped in a black suit, appeared so thin and fragile… Wait, Supervisor Shen is still alive, right..?

“Oh, this fish is good. Supervisor Shen likes to eat tender fish like this.” Bai Sheng’s words reassured the terrified inspector. He then cheerfully waved. “Thanks for your hard work! Good night!”

The inspector quickly responded with good night, no need to thank, and kindly made a cross sign for Supervisor Shen. He then swiftly retreated from the danger zone, so quickly that Bai Sheng didn’t have time to offer a tip.

In high spirits, Bai Sheng pushed the dining cart back into the room, closed the door with a click, stretched his shoulders, and returned to the bedroom.

The bed was in disarray. Shen Zhuo was without shoes or socks, with his shirt half-open and his hands tied above his head with a black tie. His usually cold and beautiful lips were wet from being forcibly kissed, now appearing more flushed with anger:

“…You’re awake now; come and untie me!”

Bai Sheng smiled but did not respond. He fell onto the bed with a thud and casually grabbed Shen Zhuo’s chin, his thumb mercilessly rubbing over the swollen lips, watching Shen Zhuo frown and flinch in pain.

“You secretly kissed me while I was asleep.” Bai Sheng chuckled deeply. “What else did you do in the past five days?”

Shen Zhuo felt a little embarrassed as he mentioned this, replying, “Get up first. A lot has happened outside these days, and I’ve been stuck in this room because of you…”

“Oh— a lot has happened outside.” Bai Sheng raised his eyebrows knowingly. “So as soon as I wake up, you’re eager to run away.”

“…”

Seeing his expression, Shen Zhuo finally confirmed Bai Sheng’s current state:

Awake, but not completely normal. He was still in the highly sensitive psychological state of an unknown alpha.

After all, a normal person wouldn’t intentionally show off their muscles to intimidate and assert dominance over a meal delivery person, successfully scaring them off, only to immediately climb onto the bed and start making snide remarks.

“I wasn’t trying to run away; I just had to…”

Shen Zhuo’s words were cut off as Bai Sheng pried his teeth open with two fingers, forcibly probing inside, causing his swollen tongue to be pressed and jostled, the faint sound of water echoing clearly.

“I don’t believe you.” Bai Sheng smiled, his tone filled with dangerous interest. “Let me check.”

With his hands tied, Shen Zhuo couldn’t stop Bai Sheng from reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone. He didn’t know when Bai Sheng had peeked at his password, but he skillfully unlocked his phone and opened it.

“!”

Shen Zhuo was someone who had almost no private life, his phone content being nothing but work. Yet at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and struggled abruptly, about to make a sound to stop Bai Sheng. However, his mouth was forced open as Bai Sheng’s two fingers were completely stuffed inside, rendering him unable to make any sound.

Bai Sheng casually scrolled through the phone records. “Why are you so excited? Let me see if you…”

He stopped scrolling with one finger on the screen, his eyes flashing with undisguised joy and satisfaction.

Several of the latest photos in the album were of him sleeping deeply.

The photos were taken from various angles and under different lighting conditions, but without exception, Bai Sheng’s eyes were tightly closed, in a peaceful and serene state. Some of the photos were filtered with natural lighting, making him look several years younger than he actually was, almost like a carefree student just graduated; and there were two photos where it was obvious that Shen Zhuo was very annoyed when they were taken, holding the camera with one hand and using the other to distort his face, making his nose crooked, looking quite comical.

The only full-body photo showed him sleeping diagonally on the bed in the middle of the night, occupying the entire bed alone. Shen Zhuo was awakened by being squeezed and decisively took a photo as evidence, the flash clearly capturing Bai Sheng’s arrogant long legs and a hand reaching out, as if trying to pull Shen Zhuo back.

“…”

The air was quiet, and their eyes met. Shen Zhuo’s expression was vivid and subtle, but he suddenly looked away.

Bai Sheng pulled out his damp fingers, suddenly leaning over to grab his chin, his black, shiny eyes filled with amusement.

“How much do you like me, Supervisor Shen?”

Before Shen Zhuo could retort, his oral cavity was invaded again; even his throat had to be opened due to the forceful licking, and their bodies were engulfed in a flurry of friction drowned out by the rustling of the bedding.

“…You’re the only living thing I’ve seen these few days. What’s wrong with taking a few pictures of you…”

“Taking pictures? Why just a few pictures?” The teasing murmurs were urgent and unclear amidst their mingled breaths. “Why not strip me naked and make a video to threaten me into continuing to do chores for the supervision office for free?”

Their eyelashes were almost intertwining, and in the chaos, Shen Zhuo was forced to turn his head to avoid Bai Sheng’s kisses, panting as he mocked, “What’s the point of filming you? To give you a chance to boast to the whole world on the supervisor’s forum? As soon as you have a chance, you want to strip off… Ugh!”

The hand that was squeezing his waist sidled down, unbuckling the belt of the supervisor’s black trousers and tossing it aside.

The sound of the metal chain opening was so subtle yet undeniable.

“…Our pure-hearted and austere chief supervisor is always so spirited every time he sees me… Look how excited you are.” Bai Sheng held the slightly cool earlobe in his mouth, laughing ambiguously. “Do I just happen to be your type, huh?”

It was as if an electric current surged to the top of his head. Shen Zhuo couldn’t help but arch upward, his spine forming a beautiful arc.

“Since our first meeting, I’ve been particularly pleasing to you, haven’t I?”

In the darkness, the temperature rose, like steam rising from boiling water. The scorching nerves were repeatedly lashed by electric currents, causing even the internal organs to convulse, while the throat spasmed but couldn’t produce any sound.

Shen Zhuo’s eyelashes were damp with drops of water, his arched upper body pressing firmly against the pillow, the white shirt already in disarray, his hands struggling desperately but unable to move, his fingers almost tearing through the palms of his black gloves.

Until the flash exploded before his eyes, the tsunami finally engulfed his senses, and all uncontrollable sounds were suppressed by kisses forced back into his throat.

“How coincidental,” came Bai Sheng’s low murmurs amidst the extreme entanglement and chaos. “I like you too.”

Of course, I like you too.

That warmth seeped into the softest part of his heart through his veins. Shen Zhuo gasped for breath. Even though everything was so blurry before him, he could still clearly distinguish the face in front of him; every inch of its contour could be directly outlined in his mind with familiar lines.

“You…” Shen Zhuo forced himself to avert his gaze, trying to find the right words from his boiling brain, only to find that this man called Bai Sheng, the only one who was intimately close to him, had no adjectives that could describe him.

“…You, you…”

“I’m the bastard who you secretly kissed behind my back.” Bai Sheng nuzzled and rubbed affectionately against Shen Zhuo’s damp face with his nose, lifting his right hand as if to show him. “Look at the outstanding results of my exceptional service.”

He truly was a bastard. Shen Zhuo turned his head twice to avoid him but couldn’t escape. Feeling emboldened, he wanted to reach out and pinch this damn handsome face but found he couldn’t move.

His wrist was still bound by the tie, and Bai Sheng showed no intention of releasing him.

Even through the shirt, Shen Zhuo could feel Bai Sheng’s breath boiling and his muscles tensing like hot stones, instinctively wanting to resist. Amidst the chaos, he could hear the rhythmic friction of the bedding, clearly on the brink of losing patience.

“…No, this really won’t do, Bai Sheng; you have to let me go… Listen to me.”

Shen Zhuo awkwardly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat clearly lubricated as his loosened white shirt collar slid down. He desperately tilted his head up to kiss Bai Sheng’s chin, adopting a pleading and irresistible posture.

“We can’t delay here for ten days or half a month… It’s too long. Let’s discuss something else, hmm?”

“…”

In the dimness, Bai Sheng remained motionless, propping himself up with his elbow and peering down at Shen Zhuo, his eyes burning with an unsettling heat.

This time, his restraint was clearly much more difficult than before, because with the peak of his own strength came increasingly weak moral constraints. The cruelty and thirst in his nature multiplied exponentially, ready to break free from constraints and roar out at any moment.

“Bai Sheng, calm down.” If one listened carefully, Shen Zhuo’s voice trembled slightly. He kissed Bai Sheng’s Adam’s apple intermittently, whispering softly, “As long as you calm down first, we can discuss anything else; everything is negotiable, okay?”

In the tangled intimacy of their entwined bodies, Bai Sheng remained as tense as a statue stretched to its limits.

After a while, his Adam’s apple finally moved violently, as if moved by the softness and temptation in that tone, hoarsely confirming:

“Anything?” 

Shen Zhuo’s response was to lean in, leaving a moist lick under his jaw.

Finally, Bai Sheng laughed, as if it resonated from deep within his chest.

He leisurely loosened his tie, as if granting a general amnesty, but in the instant Shen Zhuo withdrew his hand, he grabbed onto his wrist again, caressing it as if reluctant to let go, and said in a low voice:

“Then you have to repay me fairly, once.”

“…,” Shen Zhuo’s only free hand rested reluctantly on Bai Sheng’s chest, “Okay, but you have to promise it’s just once. You first…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a tremendous force came, and Bai Sheng embraced Shen Zhuo, both of them flipping off the bed and landing on the soft carpet with a thud!

Bai Sheng shielded Shen Zhuo as they rolled on the carpet, ending up with Bai Sheng hovering over him, his tone carrying a cryptic smile:

“Do you remember what I said before…”

“I have many stimulating preferences; you better know beforehand.”

Shen Zhuo was momentarily stunned.

Then, Bai Sheng’s power erupted, and amidst the roar, his body transformed sharply, turning into the wolf king clutching onto Shen Zhuo!

This exceeded the limits of a normal person’s imagination. Shen Zhuo couldn’t even control his astonished expression, completely enveloped in the rich and luxurious fur like the darkness of night.

The floor creaked under the weight, and although the wolf king wasn’t as massive as when he lost control that night, he still measured nearly three meters in length, his muscles hot and formidable, instilling fear. With a tongue studded with barbs, just one lick tore Shen Zhuo’s shirt, leaving only the last button intact.

Fair repayment once?!

Could this damn thing be considered fair?!

Shen Zhuo staggered to his feet regardless, but before he could unleash a rebuke, he was heavily pressed down by lightning-fast claws!

In the wolf king’s dark red pupils burned a cruel and scorching fervor as he leaned down, excited to the extreme, his sharp teeth gliding over Shen Zhuo’s exposed throat like caressing silk.

Amidst the chaos, confusion, and struggle, one didn’t come out on top until the next morning, when dawn filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a faint light on the carpet.

Half of the blanket hung over the edge of the bed, the room in disarray, with the corner of the bed bearing the deep shadow of a wolf’s kiss.

Shen Zhuo stirred, his fingers twitching as he slowly woke from his daze.

Wrapped in the soft fur of the wolf’s belly, he felt warm and cozy, with a sleek and beautiful black wolf tail lazily swishing against the carpet, occasionally curling around his ankles.

“…”

In an instant, Shen Zhuo felt a surge of anger rise to his head. He stood up and grabbed the fur, giving the wolf’s head a slap. Feeling his hands and even his arms sore and weak, he became even more furious. Without hesitation, he attempted another slap, but the giant wolf quickly flipped over and pinned him down.

Immediately, there was a rapid change in the aura of supernatural energy. The massive form of the Wolf King reverted back to its original state. Bai Sheng chuckled and grabbed Shen Zhuo’s wrist, leaning down to give him a kiss.

“Look at you,” Bai Sheng’s handsome face was full of teasing, as he affectionately pinched Shen Zhuo’s fingers. “You were almost crying last night, and now you’re getting angry so easily. The prettier the beauty, the quicker they turn their faces, right?”

Shen Zhuo not only wanted to turn his face, but he also felt an impulse to curse, a first in his lifetime. “You…” he started to say, but his vocal cords were so hoarse that he was forced to fall silent.

What was even more frightening was the bitter taste that spread on the back of his tongue. In a flash, Shen Zhuo remembered what it was, and he suddenly choked.

“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” Bai Sheng quickly got up and fetched a bottle of water from the untouched food cart from the night before, even offering to unscrew the cap for him. “Here, take a few sips, be careful not to choke…”

Shen Zhuo waved his hand, dismissing the water bottle, and gave Bai Sheng a warning look, urging him to shut up.

The gracefully lifted corner of his eye looked very sharp, but his eye sockets were still slightly red, his thick eyelashes sticking together, completely losing the aura of the Chief Supervisor. Bai Sheng couldn’t help but laugh, wanting to lean in to kiss his eyelids, but Shen Zhuo pushed him away with all his strength and staggered toward the bathroom.

“?” Bai Sheng was startled, as if he had seen a little swan flapping its wings to fly. He immediately took a step forward and asked, “Baby, where are you going? Do you want to have breakfast? I…”

Bang!

The bathroom door slammed shut in front of him, almost hitting Bai Sheng’s nose. Immediately after, the sound of Shen Zhuo brushing his teeth and rinsing filled the air from inside.

Bai Sheng was stunned for three seconds, then suddenly realized what was happening and burst into laughter.

“I was wondering why you kept rushing to the bathroom and why you were in such a hurry to brush your teeth.” He chuckled at the door, unable to contain his amusement. “Look at me; I’m in no hurry to brush my teeth at all. I don’t mind your smell at all. Isn’t love or not love so obvious?”

From inside the bathroom came Shen Zhuo’s hoarse voice, “Then you don’t need to brush your teeth today!”

Bai Sheng almost burst out laughing.

It was the first time Shen Zhuo had realized that when a person transformed into a wolf king, not only would everything be magnified in proportion, but even the amount would increase unreasonably. Not only his hands and fingers, but his entire body from head to toe, even his hair to his calves, were sticky. The overpowering and domineering double S-class pheromones seemed to seep into his skin, and after repeatedly washing for half an hour under hot water, he finally felt somewhat clean.

“Order a plate of tender fish like last night. Chief Supervisor Shen likes oatmeal porridge. Oh, and also two custard eggs…”

The sound of Bai Sheng making a phone call to place an order echoed from outside the bathroom. He was multitasking, speaking while rinsing his mouth with tea water, then directly spitting it out into the sink.

It seems that the duration of love-induced foolishness is limited after all, and even the strongest love has a time when the brain returns to normal. Shen Zhuo wiped his hair with a towel while checking his phone, realizing that it had been about forty minutes.

Shen Zhuo couldn’t help but admire it from the bottom of his heart. He knew for sure that he wouldn’t be able to maintain such foolishness in a sober state for so long. Four seconds would be the limit.

He shook his head with a smile, placing the damp towel on the edge of the bathtub. His wet and messy hair looked particularly black, contrasting with his fair and translucent skin on the side of his face. He casually sent a message to the staff of the General Administration:

[I’m heading back to Shenhai today, notify the special plane to prepare.]

Buzz.

The phone vibrated at the same time, and a new message came, sent by Amatullah from a private number.

Shen Zhuo’s eyelids twitched slightly, a vague, ominous feeling rising in his heart. He glanced at the message, and his eyes changed instantly.

[I saw the latest statistics that the General Administration hasn’t announced yet in public.]

[Four new S-class in Asia, one each in Japan and Vietnam, and two in Myanmar, the rest are still being counted.]

[Yesterday, two people in Myanmar fought over territory, and one died. His head was paraded through the streets. Now there are three S-classes in Asia. They are all arrogant, each with its own background, so be careful.]
