The Assassin's Enemy Lover

Zi Han was just as excited but he was a little anxious about the results from Dark Star. He was a little worried that if Yi Chen didn’t take first place then he won’t be able to join the future Marshal in protecting the Onyx federation and its citizens.

Filled with a patriotic spirit Zi Han hopped into the hovercar feeling jittery. Today was his graduation day and both his grandfather and auntie Sheila were here which was kind of exciting.

“Did you bring everything?” asked Zi Xingxi, oh sorry.... I meant auntie Sheila as she straightened his collar and tie.

“I brought everything. Are you sure you want to come? I am a little worried,” he said to his mother but Zi Feiji reassured him.

“You worry too much. She has me and the entire Bloodgarde backing her up,” he said while taking pictures of Zi Han before uploading them to the group with his friends in it. It was about time he bragged about his little marshmallow who aced the exams like a champ.

“Just enjoy your moment. I will take you to a gay club tonight. Sister Feng recommended a place. She said it’s the kind of place people meet lifelong partners. Mama will help you find a good man,” said Zi Xingxi with a proud expression.

Zi Han, “....”

“Mum!” he yelled only for her proud smile to sink when she recalled no one had told grandpa Zi yet that his grandbaby was attracted to the same sex.

.....

“That’s ridiculous. Why would you take Han Han to a gay bar.... fuck,” said Zi Feiji his voice getting lower and lower when he realised it.

“Who did it?” asked grandpa Zi as the hovercar stopped in front of Scylla military academy.

“Did what?” asked Zi Han while Zi Xingxi simultaneously responded,

“Does someone have to do something to him for him to determine his preference? Wait? Did someone do something?”

Zi Han, ‘WTF!!’

The way his mother changed her tune so fast was so frightening. Afraid that he would sell out Yi Chen he clutched his pant leg and as soon as the door opened Zi Han bolted out of there like the flash. Zi Feiji wanted to catch him but instead, all he grasped was little Hansel who was thrown at him.

“Wee weeeeee,” squeaked the little Nimsel after Zi Han caught it snuggling in his pocket. Zi Feiji’s eyes widened as he looked at that rodent-like thing staring at him with that one big eye.

“Is it even legal to keep this thing as a pet?” he asked but Zi Xingxi pointed at the nimsel and said,

“That’s your great-grandchild hence legal or not we can’t get rid of it.”

Zi Feiji tried to stop the little guy from crawling into his clothes while asking, “Do you think it was that Yi kid?”

“Who else could it be.... fuck!” swore Zi Xingxi wondering how the Marshal and his wife were going to take this news.

She soon realized that she at least didn’t have to worry about one in law. That’s because from the moment she sat down in that great hall Lin Ruoxi who somehow found out her disguise came over to enthusiastically chat her up which was very unexpected.

Lin Ruoxi kept praising Zi Han and congratulating her for raising such a lovely child. Zi Xingxi normally liked to hear people praise her son but this was a little too much for her. Wasn’t Lin Ruoxi being overly excited? Who knows if this relationship would even get that far?

What she didn’t realize was how desperate Lin Ruoxi was to make this work. She knew her son’s personality best. He wasn’t the type to have a fling and now that he had chosen Zi Han it meant he had made a lifetime commitment.

These weren’t mere assumptions but based on experience. If she wasn’t able to get rid of the Marshal then Zi Han wouldn’t be able to get rid of Yi Chen. They were like squatters, they will squat in your heart no matter how hard you try to get rid of them. This is why she was trying to befriend Zi Xingxi and coax her into accepting her son.

But Zi Xingxi wasn’t optimistic. While she was betting with herself on how long this fling would last Zi Han was walking down the corridor behind Shorty and Shaun while typing on his light brain.

He could vaguely hear what their conversation was about. They were talking about the frightening creatures they bumped into at Dark Star.

Zi Han pulled up the chat interface with Yi Chen so he could give him the heads up. His family was suspicious of their relationship thus he wanted to tell him to avoid them at all costs.

But while typing he suddenly bumped into a hard object. Zi Han took a step back and looked up but before he could react he was suddenly pulled by the wrist into a nearby room.

Because the lights were turned off the room gave off an eerie feeling like that in a horror movie. Zi Han pushed Yi Chen away while scolding him,

“You do realize that that’s how people die in a horror mov-,” but he didn’t get to finish his words because Yi Chen suddenly pressed him against the door and placed his palm on the side of Zi Han’s neck before kissing his lips fiercely.

Zi Han, “....”

To be honest, he loved teasing Yi Chen through video calls, and because of the distance, he wasn’t even worried about the consequences. But who would have thought Yi Chen was noting all his misgivings down waiting for the opportune time to make him pay?

Yi Chen was the least bit polite. He swept the tip of his tongue against Zi Han’s warm lips and pried his mouth open. Meanwhile, his unruly hand grasped the side of Zi Han’s waist deepening the kiss. The two entangled with each other creating an x-rated scene not suitable for the faint at heart.

Zi Han’s eyelashes fluttered as he closed his eyes and indulged himself. All this time he was making fun of Yi Chen mocking him for being too thirsty but once he got into it he realized how badly starved he was. He turned the situation around taking charge as he slowly lost control of himself.
