Chapter 33 – The Instant-Cower Little Gong
Shen Yan was holding back a stomach full of fire. After closing the door, he went to take a shower.
When he finished showering and looked out the window to check the situation outside, he found Gu Zhuoran kneeling obediently at the door.
Such a tall person had his head bowed low, his silver hair obscuring his face and expression. He looked quite pitiful.
He looked a bit like how he did when they were small, crying as he came to apologize after doing something wrong.
He just didn’t know if, now that the person had grown so big, he would still cry his eyes out.
Shen Yan’s heart softened. After watching for a while, he went to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Gu Zhuoran indeed had an expression like he was about to cry, his eyes shimmering with moisture.
“Don’t cry. Have some spine,” Shen Yan scolded.
“Yan-ge, I was wrong.” Gu Zhuoran’s attitude in admitting his mistake was extremely good.
After Shen Yan calmed down, the anger in his heart dissipated by half.
Shen Yan pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, “What were you doing?”
Gu Zhuoran blinked. His eyes subconsciously flicked to the left for a split second before he said, “I went to check on Wu Youbin.”
This was the truth; he indeed went to check on Wu Youbin.
Because Gu Zhuoran knew that Shen Yan was truly angry now.
If he stayed silent and didn’t speak up at this time, something would definitely happen.
Lies wouldn’t be able to cover things up in the long run; it was better to tell the truth.
Sure enough, hearing that he went to investigate the person from before, the fire in Shen Yan’s heart completely died down.
He sized Gu Zhuoran up for a long time. After determining he wasn’t lying, he stretched out a foot and kicked his knee. “Come in and talk.”
“Okay.” Gu Zhuoran immediately stood up and followed Shen Yan into the house obediently.
However, as he entered the house, he deliberately lightened his steps, leaning forward to sniff inconspicuously at the back of Shen Yan’s neck.
The clean, cold woody scent instantly permeated his heart and lungs, making him feel refreshed and causing the scent of blood from the underground boxing ring to fade.
Likely because he got too close, Shen Yan suddenly felt the hairs on his neck stand on end. He sensitively reached out to cover the gland on his neck.
When he turned around to scold him, he found Gu Zhuoran standing a meter away with a bewildered look, not having approached him.
“…” Rubbing his neck, Shen Yan felt it was bizarre.
Gu Zhuoran lowered his eyes slightly to hide the emotions within them, standing there quietly as if nothing had happened.
Shen Yan opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.
Only after he turned around did Gu Zhuoran let out a soft breath, blaming himself for his lack of self-control.
He wiped his face in annoyance to regain his calm. He had almost bitten down just now.
“How is the investigation going?” Shen Yan asked Gu Zhuoran.
Gu Zhuoran hesitated for a moment, weighing his words. “It’s still in progress. I asked someone to find some information.”
After speaking, he handed the materials Niu Xing’an gave him to Shen Yan.
Those materials only recorded Wu Youbin’s battle data; there was nothing special about them.
But by doing this, Gu Zhuoran was choosing to keep the secret of the underground boxing ring.
It was better if Shen Yan didn’t know about that kind of place.
But he never expected that just by relying on these few pages of battle data, Shen Yan would see some clues.
Shen Yan had crossed hands with Wu Youbin and knew he was a very strong Alpha.
Then the people on these battle records were likely Alphas in nine out of ten cases.
But there were as many as forty or fifty people here.
Where in the D9 District could one find so many high-level Alphas?
What Shen Yan cared about even more was the faint scent of blood on the paper of these materials.
This was an effect that only came from being immersed in a blood-scented space for a long time.
This brat had definitely gone to an extremely dangerous place.
Shen Yan’s beautiful tea-colored eyes looked at Gu Zhuoran calmly.
Like a tea-colored leopard examining its prey.
Gu Zhuoran instantly felt a surge of mental pressure. A layer of thin sweat soon permeated his forehead.
Just when Gu Zhuoran was about to be unable to take it, Shen Yan suddenly spoke.
“In the future, I won’t care about you anymore. You can deal with your own affairs yourself.”
These words, however, instantly stabbed into Gu Zhuoran’s heart like a sharp knife.
Author’s Note: Uncle Niu: Little Gu… I remember your personality wasn’t like this! Your mouth was tough, your bones were tough, and your temper was tough too!
Little Gong Gu: I don’t need those ‘toughnesses’ in front of my wife.
The crowd instantly understood, eyes sparkling: Makes sense! Those ‘toughnesses’ are indeed useless…
Uncle Niu: Fine, even if you have a point, you can’t be a coward~
Little Gong Gu: I’m not a coward. (I just can’t be exposed right now~~)
Yan-ge: Hmm? (Raises eyebrow~)
Little Gong Gu: No, I instantly cowered!
Crowd: …
Uncle Niu: …
A certain Miao: … (I remember you being a powerful Gong, but I think you’re… truly hard to describe right now~)
(If you like it, please support; if it makes you happy, please encourage~ These two Gong and Shou children are welcome to be fed and kissed by you~)
Translator’s Note:
- Stuffy gourd (悶葫蘆): A person of few words.
- Wife (媳婦): Used jokingly by the author for Shen Yan.
- Little Gong (小攻): The “Top” or “Alpha” in the relationship. Gu Zhuoran is so whipped! One look from Shen Yan and he’s sweating. And the author’s note is just calling him out. But Shen Yan’s “I won’t care about you” is the ultimate punishment for an overprotective Alpha.
