The Assassin's Enemy Lover

Chapter 411

411 Han Han got a tattoo... again

Soothing sounds of running water came from the closed bathroom door with wisps of steam seeping from underneath the door.

A tantalizing figure was standing unmoving under the water with an uncontrollable smile on his face. That was the smile of a man who was about to get what he wanted the most and that was having his lover back in his clutches.

He was so excited that he couldn’t help but stand under the shower absentmindedly until the skin on his fingertips became wrinkly.

When he got out of the shower he found that Zi Han had already added his contact but he hadn’t left a message yet. With his lower body still wrapped up in a towel, he sat on the bed and ruffled his hair trying to figure out what to say to him.

He bit his lower lip while typing.

DeepLimerence: That was hot. Can we do it agai_

He typed only for him to erase it again. That’s because it felt a little cringy. What if Zi Han runs away again? He didn’t want to come on strong.

DeepLimerence: Can we meet up on_

This time he exhaled deeply calming his nerves while waiting for his trembling fingers to stop shaking. Man, he could march straight into a dangerous situation with no fear but he couldn’t find the right words to say to his sweetheart. It was simply too tragic.

.....

He put on a set of comfortable pyjamas and lay down with his legs hanging off the bed looking up at the dazzling lights in the ceiling trying to word the sentence in his mind before trying again.

While he was trying to word his response like he was doing the equation in his head before writing it down so as not to mess up the homework book a buzzing sound drew his attention.

The floating screen moved above his face and when he saw that it was a message from Zi Han he opened it at lightning speed.

StarryShadow: How long are you going to keep typing?

StarryShadow: I can’t stay up all night.

Yi Chen’s cheeks grew hot as he read and re-read that message. He typed out a swift response before resting his arm at the back of his head.

DeepLimerence: I have a lot to say. I just don’t know where to begin.

Zi Han who was now dressed in his comfortable pyjama pants with a bare upper body took the little Nimsel from its tiny castle into his hands so it could lie with him in the bed. He lay on his side teasing the little fluffy ball that rubbed up against his fingers in return but it was still fast asleep.

Zi Han was about to respond to Yi Chen when his light brain made a ringing sound because of an incoming call. It was a video call coming from Yi Chen.

Zi Han licked his lips as he stretched his hand out with slight hesitation. After the third ring, he finally tapped on the screen.

He ran his finger through his hair to try to fix it a little when Yi Chen’s handsome face appeared on the floating screen in front of him. Zi Han’s lips quirked up slightly though it was fleeting.

His lover was sitting with his back resting on the head of the bed clad in comfortable home clothes but he was still so dazzling that Zi Han couldn’t help but be entranced for a second.

Because Yi Chen had just taken a shower there was still some slight dampness in his hair and there was a slight blush creeping down his cheek to his neck.

Zi Han was about to ask what he was doing when his gaze fell on the side of Yi Chen’s neck where there was a faint bruise.

“What happened there,” asked Zi Han and Yi Chen who was staring at him admiringly responded casually,

“Oh this, you did it,” while brushing his hair with a smitten look on his face.

Zi Han’s eyes dimmed a little hearing that. He felt bad thus he apologized sincerely, “I am sorry.”

Yi Chen chuckled lightly before saying, “You have scratched me before and you never apologized for that.”

Zi Han’s brows knitted together upon hearing that. “I have never scratched you,” he said and Yi Chen’s brow arched with an expression that seemed to say, ‘really.’

“... on purpose,” continued Zi Han when he remembered their sexual rendezvouses which made him suddenly blush.

“In fact,” said Yi Chen while taking off his grey long-sleeve t-shirt, “You did a lot more than that.” Zi Han’s mind instantly shattered his heart beating rapidly when he saw those firm and well-developed muscles that made him drool.

Yi Chen was seriously showing him where he got hurt possibly attempting to emotionally blackmail him into meeting up but Zi Han wasn’t paying attention to that at all.

Over the years Yi Chen had bulked up a bit. Don’t get him wrong, the man was strong and attractive before but now he was very strong and very attractive. He was the very definition of a thirst trap.

Zi Han suddenly wanted to show him something he did when he was drunk. The next day he had woken up with a tattoo on his lower back with the characters of Yi Chen’s name. We can all call it what it was. Zi Han got a tramp stamp while drunk and his mother didn’t bother stopping him. The kid was too determined and when she asked him to remove it the next morning he stubbornly refused.

Now he was showing it off with pride like it was a battle scar. “Shh, lower your voice,” he said pointing at their baby that was sleeping uneasily.

Yi Chen smiled slightly and glanced at Mr Twiggles on the side table. Whenever he missed Zi Han he would pinch its fin reminiscing about their time in the closet while fighting about this little shark.

Yi Chen was about to ask him why he wasn’t putting the little Nimsel in its tiny mansion he paid a hefty price for but those words got stuck in his throat. Yes, he paid for it. He tried his very best to be a dad even when Zi Han was avoiding him.
