Chapter 111 Zhao Jinzong Never Refused His Approach

Chapter 111 Zhao Jinzong Has Never Refused Chen Su's Approach

Chen Su couldn't get out at all.

Zhao Jinzong's wrist rested on Chen Su's waist, hanging loosely, without movement.

Dazed and comfortless, Chen Su, forbidden to open his eyes, had to fend for himself.

He got Zhao Jinzong's robe dirty.

In the end, he still felt it wasn't enough. The rare contact left him craving more.

The hand that had been resting on his waist for a long time finally moved, gently stroking across Chen Su's tailbone, making him jolt sharply. "Uh..."

Zhao Jinzong soothingly rubbed the back of his head, his fingers sliding from his hair to his neck, finally stopping at Chen Su's chin. His thin lips pressed against Chen Su's.

Chen Su tasted a sweet kiss. The hand that had been moving instantly released, lifted up, and brazenly placed it on the Enigma's cheek.

The Enigma's cheek was warm. He furrowed his brows slightly and leaned back, ending the kiss. Touching the lingering warmth on his cheek, he smiled, licked his lips, then clamped down on Chen Su's wrist and pressed it against the sheets.

With his hand held down, Chen Su could no longer continue.

He struggled a little, and Zhao Jinzong asked, "Hm?"

Chen Su said nothing. Gradually, he calmed down. In the end, just before falling asleep, he gently hooked his pinky around Zhao Jinzong's little finger that was pinning his wrist, and whispered Zhao Jinzong's name in his sleep.

...

When Chen Su woke up the next morning, he couldn't tell if last night had been a dream.

After getting up and washing his face, the butler brought breakfast with a smile, "Good morning, Mr. Chen."

The dining table was empty. The butler said that Zhao Jinzong had gone to the General Bureau early in the morning.

Chen Su hummed in response, finished his meal, and drove off, playing back the dream from last night during the whole drive.

Over the next few days, Chen Su waited at home every day for Zhao Jinzong to return. If Zhao Jinzong went straight to the bedroom to rest, Chen Su would go to rest as well. If Zhao Jinzong went to the study, Chen Su would soon bring a blanket and curl up on the sofa.

Chen Su didn't disturb Zhao Jinzong.

He just accompanied him from a distance, keeping his distance.

Until one night, the Lu family brought Lu Xun over.

The study door was pushed open, and Lu's father entered with Lu Xun.

The noise woke Chen Su. He turned over and instinctively lifted his gaze to look at Zhao Jinzong. He thought Zhao Jinzong had finished work and gone to the bedroom, only to see Lu Xun.

Chen Su lowered his head and turned over lightly.

Lu's father brought a tin of premium tea and placed it on Zhao Jinzong's desk.

"Jinzong, I heard you're returning to the International Federation after the New Year?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jinzong didn't look up.

"Perfect timing. Lu Xun will also be reporting to the Federation after the New Year. Could you help take care of him? About that last incident, I've already taught him a lesson. He's very well-behaved now." Lu's father said with a smile, then turned and signaled Lu Xun with his eyes.

Lu Xun stepped forward and apologized, "I was wrong to go to the Drug Supervision Bureau without permission last time. I'm sorry."

Zhao Jinzong looked up, his expression flat.

Lu Xun was someone Lu's father had used his connections to get into the International Federation this year; he hadn't officially reported yet. He had originally planned for Lu Xun to build a good relationship with Zhao Jinzong during this period, but hadn't expected Lu Xun to hear some gossip from people at the General Bureau and impulsively rush off to the Drug Supervision Bureau.

That was far too rash.

Lu Xun was punished with five days of detention.

Zhao Jinzong had always been strict in separating public from private matters, and Lu's father knew that well, so he didn't blame Zhao Jinzong. Instead, he scolded Lu Xun for being too impulsive, young and hot-headed, and unable to prioritize.

Lu's father made Lu Xun think long and hard about his actions.

He hadn't come to apologize in person until recently, when he heard that Zhao Jinzong was returning to the International Federation. Lu's father was instantly overjoyed.

Although Zhao Jinzong's preference toward Chen Su was obvious to all, now that Chen Su was back, Zhao Jinzong still had to leave the capital and return to the International Federation. This meant there was no future for the two of them.

Lu Xun had no reason to cling to Chen Su any longer.

Once Zhao Jinzong left the capital and returned to the Federation, Lu Xun would have plenty of opportunities.

A 99% compatibility rate only required a bit of scheming and one rut cycle.

A 99% mark was extremely difficult to remove.

Lu Xun could make good use of his advantage.

Seeing that Zhao Jinzong remained silent, Lu's father smiled and said, "Jinzong, Uncle only has this one son. Please be patient with him."

Zhao Jinzong glanced openly toward the sofa. Chen Su faced the backrest, completely still.

Zhao Jinzong hummed in acknowledgment.

Lu's father and Lu Xun followed Zhao Jinzong's gaze. Lu's father didn't recognize Chen Su, but Lu Xun did. He immediately recognized the person on the sofa as Chen Su.

Lu Xun's face stiffened.

Zhao Jinzong raised an eyebrow, "Anything else?"

"Oh, nothing else. Make sure to get some rest." Lu's father left, but Lu Xun remained frozen in place. At a look from his father, Lu Xun snapped out of it and quickly followed.

Once they left the study, stepped out of the Zhao residence, and got into the car, Lu Xun said, "Dad, that was Chen Su."

"So what if it's Chen Su? Zhao Jinzong has already agreed to look after you. The capital and the International Federation are thousands of miles apart. If he still had feelings for Chen Su, he wouldn't have agreed right in front of Chen Su."

...

After finishing his work, Zhao Jinzong packed up his things and stood up from his chair.

Chen Su woke up, pushed off the blanket, and placed it on the sofa.

Zhao Jinzong: "Awake?"

"Yeah."

Zhao Jinzong put away the items on the desk and left the study. Chen Su followed closely behind. Just before Zhao Jinzong entered the bedroom, Chen Su called out to him, "Zhao Jinzong."

"Yeah?"

"Do you still have candy?"

"No."

"Can you tell me where you bought them?"

"No."

"…" Zhao Jinzong put his hand on the door handle, "Anything else?"

Chen Su shook his head. "No, it's nothing. Get some rest early."

Chen Su went downstairs and returned to his room.

The Four Bureaus was about to close for the New Year holiday, and Xiao Li had also come back from school.

When he got home, the house looked uninhabited, as if no one had lived there for ages, frightening him so much he immediately called Chen Su. Chen Su said, "I've been staying at the Zhao residence lately."

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Brother, have you and General Director Zhao made up?"

"No," Chen Su said. "He still hasn't forgiven me."

Xiao Li didn't understand—how could he be living at the Zhao residence if they hadn't made up?

Xiao Li's words were a wake-up call for Chen Su.

Entering and leaving the Zhao residence had always seemed easy for Chen Su.

Although Zhao Jinzong ignored him, didn't talk to him, and didn't reply to his messages, Zhao Jinzong had never rejected Chen Su's closeness…
