Chapter 21 Kiss*2

Chapter 21: Kiss × 2

On Saturday morning, Chen Su received an urgent call from Tan Zhou about a business trip to Huaicheng. The team selection had to be kept small, so Tan Zhou chose Meng Suizhi and Chen Su, and they had to leave immediately.

To get to Huaicheng, they first had to fly to the provincial capital, then take a high-speed train and a bus. The journey was long and bumpy with multiple transfers.

Tan Zhou said nothing in the car. After arriving, a car picked them up, and by the time they reached the hotel, it was already afternoon.

Tan Zhou held a brief meeting with the two in the hotel room.

There was new progress in the omega human experiments from ten years ago. In the local black market, experimental agents had been discovered again. Following the clues, they eventually caught a suspect and seized a batch of the agents.

The research had been stagnant for years due to the destruction of all the original experimental agents. This might be a major breakthrough, but it needed to be kept quiet, which was why Tan Zhou only brought two people.

After the meeting, Tan Zhou looked at Meng Suizhi. "Get ready. Come with me to see the agents."

"Okay."

Meng Suizhi left.

Tan Zhou turned to Chen Su. "Room 2101. Go there."

"Alright."

Chen Su arrived at Room 2101 and rang the doorbell.

The door opened, and Chen Su saw an alpha in a white lab coat. The alpha looked wary. "Who are you?"

"I'm from the Drug Supervision Bureau. Tan Zhou sent me."

"Oh... come in." The alpha pulled the door open.

It was a suite. Once inside, a strong smell of disinfectant hit Chen Su.

Chen Su saw several used disinfectants and blood-stained bandages in the trash can. The alpha closed the door. "The General Administration is in the bedroom. I've already bandaged the wound. Keep an eye on him; I'll go fetch the medicine."

"Alright."

Chen Su walked quickly toward the bedroom.

The heating in the room was very strong. Zhao Jinzong was wearing only a thin shirt. The wound was probably deep and extensive; half of his forearm was wrapped in bandages, and blood was seeping through them.

Chen Su's steps hesitated slightly, but he quickly turned around and went back out, poured a glass of hot water, placed it by the bed, and never took his eyes off Zhao Jinzong's arm.

"It doesn't hurt."

The alpha doctor brought the medicine, gave Chen Su instructions, and left. Chen Su gave Zhao Jinzong the medicine. Zhao Jinzong glanced at the space beside him. "Lie down with me for a while."

"Okay."

Chen Su released soothing pheromones and lay down beside Zhao Jinzong.

Chen Su had never imagined that six days ago, in the midst of his busy schedule, Zhao Jinzong had made the bumpy trip back to the capital because Chen Su hadn't replied to his messages. Zhao Jinzong had come personally to pick him up and let him rest.

Every time Chen Su took a step back, Zhao Jinzong took a step forward.

Even if Chen Su didn't respond, Zhao Jinzong seemed fine with it.

Zhao Jinzong was very patient, but Chen Su didn't know if that patience would wear thin or how long it would last. Slowly, Chen Su had gone from initial resistance and avoidance to getting used to him.

This probably wasn't a good thing, he thought.

Outside the window, the sky gradually darkened.

Chen Su didn't know if the Enigma beside him was asleep.

He turned his head and called softly, "Zhao Jinzong."

"Yeah."

"A year and a half ago, the Alpha Federation leadership sent me an email. Our compatibility was extremely high, and the Federation hoped I would become your partner. I turned it down."

"Yeah."

"Then I got married."

"Yeah."

"My experience with marriage wasn't great." Chen Su meant he wouldn't consider starting a new relationship.

"..."

"Beiqing is your friend. I can't..."

Before Chen Su could finish, Zhao Jinzong took hold of his chin, turned his face, and forced a kiss on him. The kiss was sudden and forceful.

Zhao Jinzong kissed deeply, and Chen Su tasted his pheromones. After realizing what was happening, he tried to push away, but Zhao Jinzong seemed to sense Chen Su's intention and pressed the back of his head, holding him in place.

The hand pressing the back of Chen Su's head was Zhao Jinzong's injured one. Chen Su didn't dare struggle hard, and the kiss made him feel hot and flushed and want to pull at his clothes.

A single kiss, with such high compatibility, could completely erase Chen Su's self-control.

The kiss lasted a long time, what felt like forever.

When Zhao Jinzong finally released Chen Su, he traced Chen Su's lips. "Return gift."

The return gift for the belt was a kiss.

Chen Su's eyes shimmered with lust.

Zhao Jinzong stared into Chen Su's eyes. "Now I want fairness from you."

Zhao Jinzong wanted fairness. He didn't want Chen Su to hold him responsible for someone else's mistakes, nor did he want every conversation to begin with hesitation and rejection.

"Okay."

"Promise?"

"Yeah." Chen Su felt a simple "yeah" might not seem sincere enough, as if he were brushing it off. "I promise. I mean it."

In Chen Su's mind, there would never be fairness between Zhao Jinzong and Sheng Beiqing.

Chen Su's scale would always tip toward Zhao Jinzong.

Zhao Jinzong got up to put on his clothes. Afraid his wound might reopen, Chen Su reached out to help. His black-gloved hands pressed against Zhao Jinzong's waist as he buttoned his clothes one by one and fastening his belt—just like a devoted partner.

Zhao Jinzong looked down and smiled slightly.

Chen Su cleared his throat. "I need to use the bathroom."

Chen Su walked quickly, his retreating figure betraying his haste, afraid that if he were any slower, he would lose his composure in front of Zhao Jinzong. On ordinary days, even a single touch could trigger an episode of his condition, let alone a prolonged kiss.

As soon as Chen Su entered the bathroom, he tugged at his shirt, preparing to shower.

He had just unbuttoned the first two buttons.

"Whoosh—"

The bathroom door was suddenly pulled open.

Chen Su's movements froze.

Zhao Jinzong pulled open the bathroom door with his large hand and strode in, his arms strong and muscular, and forcefully carried him to the sink before kissing him.

Chen Su braced his hands on the sink counter to maintain balance.

His body leaned back in a dodging motion, the back of his head resting against the mirror. With a slight turn of his gaze, he could see his own neck, flushed a delicate pink.

Chen Su struggled to breathe, "Zhao Jinzong..."

Zhao Jinzong continued kissing him undeterred, as if he felt the reciprocation had come too quickly and wanted more—more kisses, a longer time. Afraid the alpha might try to escape, his injured hand tightened around Chen Su's waist.

Chen Su was kissed for a long time before he managed to push him away slightly with his hands. "Be careful of your hand."

Zhao Jinzong held his chin. "It's fine."

"No." Chen Su was afraid that if they continued, things would spiral out of control.

"Chen Su."

Zhao Jinzong didn't force him; he simply called Chen Su's name. Yet Chen Su inexplicably heard, in that tone, something like sadness at Chen Su's rejection.

It was a tone Chen Su could never refuse.

It was just a name... but Chen Su lost control, overcoming his rationality, and took the initiative to kiss the Enigma.

Zhao Jinzong rested his large hands on the cold marble sink counter, letting Chen Su place his hands on top of his own. This gesture was so subtle that even Chen Su didn't notice—until the Enigma interlaced their fingers, and he realized...

Zhao Jinzong seemed to have caught him.

Not just his hand, but his entire being—the adrift Chen Su.

Chen Su was lost in thought. Zhao Jinzong held his chin, stopped the kiss, and briefly pulled away.

Zhao Jinzong asked, "Can't I kiss you?"
