Illusion - SCI Mystery 谜案集 Fanfiction

Chapter 30

It was quiet between them for a moment. Neither of the two wanted to stop - which was still evident based on their bodies' reaction - but the mood was kind of ruined and there was work to do now as well.

That was not how the both of them had imagined their supposed vacation to start.

Zhan Yao and Bai Yutong arrived at the office with grim expressions. Damn that Daniel or David or whatever guy. Hell would await him for interrupting them once they caught him, Bai Yutong swore to himself. And just when he actually got Zhan Yao so far that he actually responded! Not that he disliked his usual shy behaviour - far from it. But that didn't mean he wasn't curious about that new, more daring side of Zhan Yao. And that damn criminal not only interrupted them when things were getting good but also kept Bai Yutong from discovering that new side of Zhan Yao for the first time. That was something Yutong wasn't ready to forgive him for - and he would make sure to let him feel it.

Zhan Yao on the other side was beyond embarrassed. How could he have let his urges control him to this extend? What would Bai Yutong think of him now? Well, it was a completely natural act - everyone does it - but still. On the other hand, he didn't feel uncomfortable - far from it, if he were to be honest - and Bai Yutong didn't seem to be repulsed by him either so it should be fine, right? Secretly, Zhan Yao cursed his luck for being interrupted. But he wasn't quite ready to admit that to himself just yet.

Both of them stormed through the glass doors of the office and immediately caught the attention of their team who sensed their terrible mood at once. They thought that they must be very frustrated that the mob boss that they caught after such hard work escaped because of a simple mistake. The two were indeed very frustrated, but the reason was an entirely different one from what their team believed it to be.

Bai Yutong's mood was almost as bad as it was while Zhan Yao was still in prison. The whole team avoided him as much as possible and did their best not to put him off in any other way. They worked efficiently and fast. Under normal circumstances they would have turned for Zhan Yao to appease Yutong's anger but he was just as irritated as Bai Yutong. It left confusion and a deep trauma in the team. The normally calm, collected and soft-spoken gentle professor that they all know was suddenly easily irritated, impatient and even used curse words.

It would get even worse when they tried to put their two leaders together. The whole room would be filled with a thick tension that no one apart from the two understood but nobody dared to question, while Zhan Yao and Bai Yutong acted like they didn't notice - trying to subtly steal a glance at the other without being caught.

They were currently sorting out all information and going over all the material they had on David. Bai Yutong was sat down at the head ending of the table in the meeting room like usual, with Zhan Yao standing behind him and leaning over his shoulder to look at the documents in front of them. Yutong could feel Zhan Yao press against his back sligtly while he supported his weight on his hand on the table, his breath fanned against the skin of his neck.

Being this close but not being allowed any closer in this situation was pure torture. All Bai Yutong wanted to do right now was to spin around and flip Zhan Yao on the table to kiss him roughly, making him produce those wonderful sounds he loved to hear so much and-

"Bai Sir?"

Yutong snapped his eyes open. He didn't even notice when he closed them and was consumed by his fantasies. Ma Han looked at him expectantly. And while he was kind of upset for the interruption he still was thankful she stopped him in his daydreaming when he clearly had different things to do. He tried to collect himself. The sooner he put that bastard behind bars again, the sooner he coud resume what he and Zhan Yao started earlier.
