Chapter 80 - My Gun is Cocked and This is What You Show Me? (1/2)

Zhong Yan stopped struggling. He wondered if he was having an illusion from missing him too much. His reasoning told him the facts of what happened, but his immense joy he felt made it so he actually didn’t dare to turn around to verify it for a while.

Seeing him remain unmoving, the person behind began to get anxious.

“What’s wrong, baby?” Adrian helped Zhong Yan up from the sofa and held his face anxiously, asking, “Sorry, did I frighten you?”

Zhong Yan looked at the handsome face right in front of him and suddenly pounced over. “Ade!”

The two of them held each other tightly on the sofa while Zhong Yan asked in disbelief, “Why are you here?”

“Institution Star is in a stable condition now. I wouldn’t have anything to do even if I stuck around, so I thought I’d come see you.” Adrian stroked the corners of Zhong Yan’s pleased eyes lovingly and said, “I missed you so much.”

“Me too.” Zhong Yan lightly punched him on the chest. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You scared me earlier. I thought it was one of Pearson’s boys.”

Adrian held his hand to his chest in an exaggerated manner and said, “I plead innocent! You were the one who told me not to say too much in our text messages.”

“Then did I tell you to play out the role of a space pirate as well?” Though he said that, Zhong Yan could hardly feel angry with Adrian’s actions. He reached out to help Adrian smooth out his clothes that had been wrinkled during their contact. “How many people did you bring here?”

He did not ask Adrian how he came in. Nowadays, when two citizens became legal partners with each other, certain permissions in the system would be shared by default, including the permissions for the houses and cars owned by the couple. You could turn off the permissions manually, but neither Adrian or Zhong Yan had done so. They even shared many others. So of course Adrian had the permission to enter his house. Only, Zhong Yan never expected Adrian to have the opportunity to use these permissions so soon.

“Uh…Your house is smaller than I expected. Why don’t you buy yourself a bigger house?” Adrian spoke guiltily, “How many square meters is this place? Does it even have fifty?”

Zhong Yan narrowed his eyes. “You wouldn’t have come alone without bringing anyone else, would you?”

Since the last attack, Adrian had greatly increased the security forces around him. On the surface, he would say that he learned a hard lesson from it, but in truth, Adrian did not find it that important. He might as well become more alert himself. However, it was mainly due to the strong demands of Zhong Yan and some other senior officers that he increased his number of guards and brought them everywhere with him.

“No, honey. Listen to me, I came here secretly, didn’t I? It wouldn’t be convenient if I brought my men. I had to keep my identity blocker on the whole trip here just to get away from ‘Butterfly’…”

“How could you act alone!” Zhong Yan grunted in dissatisfaction. But since Adrian was already here, it was useless to say anything. Not lingering on useless things was also one of Zhong Yan’s strong points. Also, he was particularly indulgent towards Adrian. Take for example how Adrian always liked throwing his clothes everywhere as soon as he returned. After trying one time to mention it ten years ago without any results, he never mentioned it again. Instead, he would always follow behind him and clean up himself. Zhong Yan did not continue complaining about it and instead asked, “Does anyone know you’re here?”

“Yeah. Several colonels do. Fayn and the others in Navi know as well. I haven’t been here long myself either. I just reported to them right before you came in.”

Only then did Zhong Yan feel relieved. When he saw how travel-worn Adrian looked with his jacket still on and his hat and sunglasses thrown onto the sofa, he figured that he must have come in disguise and couldn’t help but feel pity. “Did you have a rough journey here? When did you last eat? Are you hungry?”

When Adrian saw that delicious looking face that he had not been able to see for so many days, his eyes turned dark. “I really am…rather hungry.”

“Really? Then, let me make you some—Oh, I’ve never cooked in this house before.” The kitchen he had at home was just for decoration. There was no kitchenware inside at all. Thinking that Adrian must be hungry, Zhong Yan said anxiously, “I’ve always bought food from outside so there’s nothing to eat at home. I’ll go buy you supper now. The delivery services in the Capital are really quick, they’ll definitely be able to arrive within ten minutes of…Mh!”

Adrian sealed his mouth with his lips and held one hand behind his head to deepen their first kiss in a while. It wasn’t until Zhong Yan’s body went soft under his arms did he finally pull back.

“What do you mean there’s nothing to eat at home?” Adrian kissed his cheek and murmured, “This right here looks pretty good.”

They were both men with normal functioning bodies, so it was natural for them to have their needs. It would’ve been fine in the past, but once you have your first taste of meat, it’s hard to stop. After being forced to go vegetarian these days, Zhong Yan really did miss that taste. Adrian reached his hand inside his clothes from the hem of his shirt and stroked the smooth skin of his waist, causing Zhong Yan to shudder. He couldn’t help but feel aroused and his breath grew heavy as he kissed him. Lower down, his hands were already beginning to unbutton Adrian’s shirt.

If they’re going to do it on the sofa then the sofa it is, Zhong Yan thought. The house is pretty small anyways, and there’s nobody…

Ding.

The gentle beep of the elevator caused the semi-aroused couple to freeze. They looked at each other, and Zhong Yan was the first to recall that he had pressed on the emergency help button when Adrian pounced on him from behind. But, before he had any time to react, several fully-armed men rushed out of the elevator with their guns brandished in the very next second. When the two men at the lead saw the scene in the living room, their feet stopped.
