He couldn't understand how the man in front of him could look dangerous and broken at the same time. Eyes as bright as gold, messy black hair, sharp jawline, straight nose bridge, snow-white neck, prominent Adam's apple and collarbones below. There is a strange smell that spreads from head to toe.
His head bowed, his lashes flutter like a butterfly's wing when he blinks, and his heart palpitates to itching.
Before, this man was not this dangerous, as if a humble flower suddenly bloomed and spread all its fragrance around.
It exudes an irresistible feeling and attracts bees and butterflies, their prey.
Yun ruffled his hair with an impatient expression with his hand. He frowned.
To say that you wiped someone out of the world with such a soft look... must be really hidden deep. Or.. they never made an effort to understand Nanren...
But Yun was not surprised.
Because even if he wanted to be completely relaxed, Samara's condition kept making him doubtful.
He collapsed on the couch and was told. "You should have told me earlier. I was seriously obsessed." Yun snorted, exhaling.
He didn't think he was lying.
He raised his eyes and looked again at the man in front of him. The man's smiling eyes seemed to never leave her face.
Feeling uneasy, he turned to his brother Shura and saw him grinning at the uncertain atmosphere between the two of them, holding popcorn. Seeing her older sister staring at her, Shura didn't hesitate to lick her fingers as she said, "Oh, go ahead. Don't mind me."
Yun looked at his image with disgust and stood up and approached the window. She kicked him down on his knees and kicked him, then sat back down, closing the window and closing the curtain.
Turning her gaze back to Nanren, she looked into those sharp eyes and muttered.
"The little panther cub has grown"
He lowered his gaze again, and this time Yun collapsed completely onto the sofa. The forces behind Samara were thinking of waiting and observing no matter what. In order not to startle the snake, he would wait and see.
But the surprising thing is that they were eliminated before they were given the opportunity to act. By the man in front of you.
And Yun didn't notice him at all.
Nanren silently disappeared and reappeared silently. The enemies behind were cleared one by one. Unknowingly.. was this the feeling of protection?
In short, Nanren was stunned as he had taken care of all the problems for her and the danger in her mind was over before it even started.
"Okay." Regardless, Yun could be sure of the other person's sincerity towards himself. Again..
He parted his lips and whispered with a slight smile.
"Tell me, if we say we become enemies one day...who would lose?"
"And what loses?"
Blue eyes narrowed and he waited for the answer of the person in front of him with interest.
Nanren was stunned at the question, then smiled sweetly, "Shouldn't we be focusing on the earnings?" A smile spread across his lips.
And sometimes the losses are insignificant.
The misty golden eyes seemed to be lost in thought as he lowered his head in an unfocused manner.
"Still, human nature tends to avoid losses, so"
"The outcome depends on what is the gain that will make us enemies"
Gain, or desires.
Nanren did not refuse. And he never offered a childish thought. It didn't wave. Knowing human nature and most of all himself, instead of saying that it was impossible to get into a situation with Yun where he would never be hostile, he reasoned with his truthful mindset.
"What are your desires?"
Yun made a decision to take the initiative to take a step back, instead of trying sometimes, if he was in this situation one day. He adopted the philosophy of having as few enemies and as few trouble as possible. And if someone like Nanren has something he desires, he will wisely choose to retreat in the event of the inevitable fight.
"What are your desires?"
When the yellow eyes heard the question, they got up from the ground and landed on the face of the owner of the question. He trembled violently, as if a green, smoky and hazy smoke was bubbling inside him.
"Don't you already know?" Even though the voice was soft, the eyes looking at him reflected heavy and suppressed, violent desires. The stare piercing through her body and the feeling fixed on her. All eyes are fixed on him.
Ah, it turns out that what he might have to give up might be his freedom.
Yun frowned slightly and questioned. His tone was heavy and contained suppressed anger.
"So what you want is an object that can stand on the side? It's like a collector's item you mean," he gritted.
Nanren was not alarmed by his reply. "No," he said, shaking his head negatively, with a faint, throaty laugh. "Then shouldn't I tie you up and lock you up?"
After all, the most precious treasures are kept in the most secret place. His yellow eyes seemed to be shrouded in an even darker mist, and behind that smoke seemed to hide a dangerous glow. He lowered his head again, and lashes concealed those eyes.
"Hey, hey, this conversation is going to some seriously dangerous places." After squeezing with Anastasia Shura by the window, the two of them leaned one head against the window and eavesdropped on the continuation.
Nanren muttered softly. In a whining tone. She felt pathetic and weak. "You do not trust me"
"I say I like you"
"Look, I've never done anything bad"
Yun "..."
"So you were supposed to?" Yun couldn't help but aggravate his tone even more.
"No, just…" Nanren did not speak. He pressed his lips tightly again. "Unlike me, you get along with everyone else" is akin to the flushed corners of her eyes and the frail image of a bride whining to her husband.
Yun was mute for a moment and did not know what to say.
Nanren continued to complain.
"That girl, Lin Mei, Limma, and the others. Are you sincere to all of them or me—" He slowly got up and sat on the sofa next to her. She slowly brought her face closer to the front. Nanren squinted his eyes as they were so close that their breaths mingled.
"You are doing injustice"
Yun "..."
To think you'd hear it from 'Huai Nanren'..!
He admits he's biased, but still, it's instinctive and he inadvertently builds a wall to protect himself. After all, Nanren had grown accustomed to a lawless life as he was never a normal human being. She actually sees and appreciates the front's effort. Compared to his previous life, he was not committed to crime. His track is immaculate and moreover, it fits perfectly.
He felt itching on his chin, raised his slightly bowed head as the warm bony hands unconsciously thought, and he muttered with a trace of grievance in his eyes. "Look at me"
Thin fingers are hotter than their own hands and will scorch his chin.
Yun "..."
"Don't think about other things when Yun is with me" he looked at the face close to him "I am jealous" lips close to his ear and whispered.
Yun:...
Where did this man learn to be flirty..?
And what more does he do?!
Yun stretched his rigid body and stepped back. He couldn't make an expression to express his feelings because he could feel that even his face was hard as a rock right now.
Before "Nanren-" could speak, one of the warm fingers blocked his lips, "ssh-" moved as if to say be quiet. Nanren's eyes involuntarily twitched before removing a finger from his lips, the fingers pulling away with a slight rubbing.
Yun "..."
For some reason he shivered.
The atmosphere seemed even more depressing.
"I really like you"
"And I am waiting"
"But my patience is limited"
Yun:!!!
Is he threatening?!
Veins sprang up from his forehead, the sound of his throat pressing almost making even him startle.
"Nanren"
"Are you forcing me by threatening me?" As he squinted his eyes, a purple glow appeared in the blue.
When Nanren saw it, he thought, 'oh, he's pissed off'. "No but-"
As the smile overflowing from his lips reached his eyes, his face was slightly flushed, and he muttered with a soft nature and good manners.
"My patience is struggling. What to do? I feel like I'm seeing an oasis in the desert"
"I'm afraid I'm going to do something to piss you off." He lowered his head and slumped his shoulders. "I'm afraid of getting carried away by this." He moved closer to Yun and squinted his eyes.
Bending the press, he buried his head between Yun's shoulder and neck. Long arms wrapped around her waist and she hugged him, bending her back.
With her sudden movement, Yun lightly grabbed her before she could even react. Nanren opened her closed eyes and inhaled the scent of her body. His eyes darkened even more as his face reddened slightly.
He couldn't help himself from the shirt around his neck, and his sudden sting made Yun shiver.
Ah...
So what he couldn't bear was a hug?
Yun "..."
For a long time he felt silent.
