From Today Onward, You Will Move In to Live with Me (2)
At that moment, the cell phone in Shi An’s pocket buzzed.
He was startled and reached out to take out his phone, looking at the contact displayed on it – it was Mu Heng.
Although Shi An still wanted to spend some quality time with his other treasures, he had, after all, promised Mu Heng that his phone would stay open and accessible to people at all times during this period.
He sighed and picked up the call.
Mu Heng’s cold, low voice came from the other side of the phone. “Come out for a while.”
Shi An froze. “Eh?”
Mu Heng said, “I’m in front of your rest area now.”
After saying that, the call was hung up.
Although Shi An was puzzled, he still walked outside.
After ensuring that all the magic residue and blood stench on his body had been cleared away, he put on his layers of heavy overcoat and headed out.
Snow was already falling outside.
The sky was dark and gray, and snowflakes sprinkled down, covering the ground with a thick layer of snow.
In the middle of the gray-blanketed sky, Mu Heng, clad in a black cloak, stood upright in the snow.
He lifted his eyelashes and looked towards Shi An, who was waddling over to him.
He saw the young man lift his snow-white face with red lips and translucent dark, round eyes.
His head was covered in pink rabbit earmuffs, his scarf, and gloves both furry, looking good and soft, as if he were some young, soft little animal.
“What’s wrong? Why are you looking for me?” Shi An asked, letting out a white puff of air.
Only when he saw that the other party was safe and sound did Mu Heng’s heart finally relax slightly.
He habitually lifted his hand and pressed the top of the young man’s hair, rubbing it hard. “Go pack up your things.”
Shi An: “???”
He tilted his head, saving his messed-up head from the other man’s hand, and asked in confusion, “Pack up my things? Why?”
Mu Heng lowered his eyes, his pale blue eyes looking deep and dark in the dim light. “It was my misjudgment. Aiwen Academy isn’t safe.”
What happened to Lu Yuanyi had given him a wake-up call.
Mu Heng had not expected that with the Aiwen Academy’s level of defense, it would still be invaded by a dragon unknowingly. Now it seemed that even forcing Shi An back to the Ability Academy would not improve his safety much. Even Lu Yuanyi, an expert in defense as the Aiwen Academy’s principal, could be caught by the dragon, so he was afraid that invading the Ability Academy wouldn’t be a problem for such a dangerous creature.
“From today onward, you will move in to live with me,” Mu Heng said in an irrefutable tone.
Shi An said, “Huh?”
B-But then, he wouldn’t be able to act alone!
Mu Heng said, “The academic exchange will still be held as normal. If you want to participate in it, I can arrange for people to send you.”
Shi An: “…”
–Didn’t that block out his excuse?
Shi An was going to keep insisting on refusing, but at that moment, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
Although he had gotten quite a few addresses and names of people from Lu Yuanyi, they were all too widely scattered and not necessarily complete.
He had learned last time at the airport that Mu Heng was probably also contacting the guys in the Aiwen District who had gotten his treasure and was perhaps trying to set up a trap.
Then why not…
He would wait for Mu Heng to get that group together and collect the treasure so he could take it all in one go.
More importantly, Mu Heng was now unsuspecting of him, so if he could get around the other person and figure out the Bureau’s plans. He might even get a chance to do the dirty on another villain.
Although the risk was not small, the reward was also excellent.
After thinking about it, Shi An said, “It’s okay, but I have one request.”
Mu Heng raised his eyebrows. “Say it.”
Shi An said, “Can we sleep together at night?”
Mu Heng was stunned. “…”
… What?
Shi An was aware that he could subdue Lu Yuanyi quickly this time, mainly because of the intense anger he had built up in his heart. After leaving Lu Yuanyi’s place, he could feel the magic power in his body had been nearly half depleted. If he was dealing with ordinary humans, it was certainly more than enough, but if he was dealing with Mu Heng and the Bureau… the chances of winning were very slim.
Shi An was sure he could recover faster when Mu Heng was around.
It was not impossible to cast a spell, but there were risks.
On the one hand, his and Mu Heng’s routine was too different. If Mu Heng got up late every day, he would probably get suspicious.
Another reason was…
Perhaps it was because of his bloodline talent, but Mu Heng was resistant to dragon magic and had already shown his resistance last time. Shi An didn’t want to be caught in an embarrassing situation where his opponent’s eyes were already open before he woke up.
So, the best thing to do was to get the other party to agree.
Looking expectantly at the human in front of him, Shi An negotiated. “It doesn’t have to be every night. Every other night is also okay.”
He leaned his upper body forward slightly, his eyes shining brightly, and raised the end of his speech, naturally acting spoiled.
“All right?”
***
It was night.
Mu Heng pushed open the door to his room.
The young man, wearing only a shirt, sat on the large bed, his two thin white legs crossed, with a massive pillow in his arms. His hair was semi-damp and his collar was loose, revealing his slender collarbone and beautifully defined neck.
He raised his eyes and looked toward Mu Heng, his dark eyes dyed a soft amber by the light.
Shi An patted the spot beside him and chirped, “Hurry up!”
Mu Heng: “…”
He didn’t know why he had inexplicably agreed to the other man’s request earlier.
–What he did know was that he was now beginning to regret it.
