The Guy in Black

Back

Shen Wei felt jittery. It's like there is something somewhere but.... You are unable to comprehend.
He knows he made a mistake. He went out in an impulse and impulse IS counterproductive.
But at the same time he can't control it. No one... Absolutely no one has the right to touch the people dear to him.

He gave a sigh.

Shen Wei moved the head full of messed up hair from his chest. Yunlan has made it a habit to almost use him as a human pillow. He chuckled.
'I don't think anyone can imagine the macho chief wants to cuddle while sleeping.'

It was midnight when Wei went out of the bedroom.
He walked down to the basement. There was a painting of an ancient martial artist hanging there. Black cloak swirling around, His hood blocked the upper part of his face revealing thin lips pursed tight. His sword gleamed with silver light. It looked alive..... Even when he knew it's only a painting.

Shen Wei stood in front of the crooked painting for a whole long minute. Then stretched out his hand to make the position right.

He needs to decipher the codes.

Yunlan woke up with a jolt. He watched the room still shrouded with darkness but the watch indicated morning.
Wei was not there. Well.. it's normal. So he went downstairs to search for his boyfriend and found him in the gym area.
Yunlan watched as his boyfriend's fist and kicks kept hitting the sand bag, sweat dripping from his temple, some tiny droplets flying around with his swaying hair. The loose tank top clung to his back showing his muscle movements. He looked droolworthy.

"Shen Wei"...

Wei looked back. Yunlan watched his eyes dark, blank, like two lifeless black glass beads. He blinked.
"You are up. " Wei smiled at him.
Yunlan blinked again looking at his affectionate eyes.

"Let me wash up first. Can you heat up the breakfast?"

"Mn. Come back fast. I'm hungry."

Wei hugged his waist and gave a peck on his lips before walking off.

Yunlan rubbed his lips with his finger with a little frown.
'What happened? '

------- --------

Yunlan sprawled on the sofa with his phone. He looked at the latest news about a murder from the perspective of the reporter. It's bizarre.
The body was unscathed. Just a slit on neck. It was wrapped in a loose white robe. The blood from neck looked dazzling on it.
The reporter described how much blood was there but Yunlan knew it was not much. The blood on the robe actually formed a pattern. A pattern that he'd seen on another dead body 15 days ago. So........ ....
It's a message. The question is for whom?
And have it reached the person intended? If not....
Then how many more?
And if reached..... What next?

The body was washed clean. Even the ground it was placed on was bleached. Nothing could be found.
Not even the identity of the body.

Yunlan was starting to get frustrated when a hand patted his head softly.
"Don't get worked up. That won't help."

His boyfriend's soothing voice really did comfort him.
He threw the phone away and focused on the man. Shen wei was sitting on the corner of the sofa, probably reviewing lesson plans for students. He turned once to give him a small smile and then turned to his own work again.
Yunlan kept watching him.

In life or in relationship.. Yunlan was the one who has always taken the lead. But when it comes to this man he wants to be taken care of instead.

Be it in daily life, in taking decisions, or in bed... Shen Wei always took lead. And it felt good.
It felt good when he looses the control for a while.

The knocks on the door stoped his train of thought. Shen Wei got up to get the door.
Yunlan jolted out of the sofa when he heard a muffled 'uff'...
It was Shen Wei.
Hand clenched on the walking stick that was decorating a corner of the living room he hurried in hushed footsteps and then..... Stopped.

Shen Wei stood near the still open door with his back to him. A luggage and a bag was thrown near the door. And a man wrapped himself around Shen Wei... literally.... with his hands around neck and legs around waist.

Yunlan turned sour. Wei never lets him do that without getting flustered and here he even patted the man's head while holding him.

But before he could let a full pout out the man raised his head from Wei's neck.
The almost similar features led Yunlan to have a open mouth instead of a pout. He has never seen twins with such similarities. The only thing distinguishable was the eyes and dressing style.
"Yunlan.. meet Yezun, my younger twin. And Yezun... this is Zhao Yunlan, my boyfriend."
Yunlan watched with amusement how Yezun casted a resentful glare towards him, then changed into a blank one before calling...
"Hello Sister-in-law, nice meeting you."
Now it was Yunlan who turned a glare.
"What do you mean sister-in-law? I'm "
Yezun cut his sentence, "Aren't you my brother's wife? I don't think you have the capability to be his husband."
Yunlan gritted his teeth, but before he could retaliate Yezun spoke again,
"Brother I'm tired and hungry."

Shen Wei showed him a room downstairs to wash up.
"Get here after you wash up. I'll make something for you to eat."

Then looked back to Yunlan with pursing lips... clearly holding back his laughter. So Yunlan marched towards him with a livid face and took a harsh bite.
