The Assassin's Enemy Lover

Zi Xingxi nodded as she sat down again. This time her eyes were bloodshot with tears in the corner of her eyes. She couldn’t even congratulate her son for breaking through to SS rank because her emotions were in disarray.

“I miss him,” she whispered and Zi Han immediately pulled his mother into his arms and comforted her. This was the only time Zi Xingxi cried over his father while sober. His heart twisted painfully as he rubbed her back. At this moment he wondered if she ever regretted falling in love with his father. Was that love worth this much long lasting pain?

Meanwhile, Marshal Yi who was now drinking with his son was stunned when he received a call letting him know that the Han warship had disengaged its weapons and was currently heading towards an unknown location.

After a fairly short conversation, he hung up and looked at Yi Chen before saying, “Do you think she is going to Dark Star?”

Yi Chen grimaced after drinking the last of the whiskey in his crystal glass before saying, “Most likely. She must know.”

He initially wanted to meet with her and give her what he found in the safe room but now it seemed he might have to delay.

Yi Chen pulled up his chat interface with Zi Han and wrote him a message.

YC: Are you okay?

.....

But three hours later Zi Han hadn’t responded neither did it show that he had read the message. Yi Chen wanted to call him but he held back and his wait finally paid off after three hours of waiting.

Zi Han had comforted his mother until she passed out. Because he was afraid of waking her he stayed put but who would have thought he would also fall asleep? When he woke up it was already two hours and forty minutes later.

He silently slipped out of the captain’s cabin and walked over to the cabin next door. While walking he noticed that his grandfather made several calls.

Zi Han immediately called his grandfather and explained to him everything that happened and where they were headed.

Zi Feiji was a little ill at ease and would have preferred it if he accompanied them but since they had already left he instructed Zi Han to take great care of his mother and not let her do anything stupid.

Zi Han promised him before hanging up the call. Soon after taking a short shower, he made a video request call to Yi Chen. Yi Chen who was lying in bed playing with the fin of Mr. Twiggles hurriedly answered the video call.

Yi Chen immediately opened his mouth to voice his complaint. “Babe, why didn’t you....,” he said but his voice died down before he sat up.

Zi Han was standing with his back to the camera with a bath towel wrapped around his waist.

Since the lamb had voluntarily offered itself how could Yi Chen not indulge himself?

Zi Han soon noticed that Yi Chen was too silent thus he turned around to ask him what was wrong but he found that he couldn’t utter a word when he was met by Yi Chen’s lecherous gaze.

“You!....” he yelled as he covered up his chest. It was only now that he recalled how many times he had paraded himself half naked in front of Yi Chen. Wasn’t that like freely offering oneself to the big bad wolf?

Yi Chen’s brow arched as he asked, “Me what? I have already seen it all so many times.”

Zi Han’s lips twitched hearing this. He quickly turned off the camera function resulting in Yi Chen’s screen turning black.

“Are you being shy?” asked Yi Chen tugging at his t-shirt because he was feeling a little flustered.

“Nope. I just don’t want you to take advantage of the situation,” replied Zi Han as he hurriedly put on his clothes. After he was done putting on a pair of black jogger pants and a white t-shirt Zi Han turned on the camera.

While it was switching back on Zi Han took out a can of orange juice from the mini-fridge. With a click, he opened it and took a sip while Yi Chen was saying, “If you are shy I can take off mine for you to see.... there, we can be shy together.”

Zi Han casually glanced over about to tell him to forget it when he saw a shirtless Yi Chen with his black t-shirt riding up his head.

“Ptooey!!” was the sound of Zi Han spitting orange juice in the most perfect spit take ever.

“Fuck,” he swore while taking the bath towel to wipe the juice off the window of the cabin and floor.

The corner of Yi Chen’s lips quirked up as he followed Zi Han’s fingure bustling about.

“Do you like it?” he asked as a naughty idea sprung up in his mind.

Zi Han didn’t pay him any mind while wiping. It was only after he was done that he raised his head and saw what Yi Chen was doing.

Yi Chen was rubbing some massage oil all over his abs and chest with a rather serious expression.

Zi Han’s eyes widened as he yelled at him. “What are you doing? You can’t do that while we are on a call. If you, you want to do such a thing.... you should do it after I hang up.”

Yi Chen raised his head seeming so innocent. His hand glided over his nipple as he asked, “Do what exactly?”

Zi Han who was entranced by those powerful hands rubbing against those toned glossy muscles utter an unintelligent response having burnt his brain cells.

“Huh?..... Oh, I meant jerk off. You can jerk off after we hang up the video call,” he said only for his expression to turn stupid having realized he had said what he was thinking directly.

Yi Chen smiled shyly while asking, “Don’t you want to watch me?”

“Yes, ah I mean know..... shit, Yi Chen will you stop messing with me?”

Yi Chen licked his bottom lip before saying, “Babe, you misunderstood. I was massaging my sore muscles that’s all.”

“Don’t call me that. If my mother hears it we might both go missing,” whispered Zi Han getting under his quilt.

Yi Chen continued to rub the massage oil on his abs while saying, “My mother is already calling you her son-in-law. When she saw the hickey you left on me today she asked when you are coming over again to see her.”

Zi Han couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He fervently denied it saying, “What hickey? That’s obviously a mosquito bite.”

Yi Chen, “....”

Author’s note:

Yep, there were lots and lots of mosquitoes at Dark Star.
