With the help of the faint yellow moonlight shining through the window, Lan could see the dark circles under the eyelashes of the person sleeping beside her.
After an entire afternoon, he was surprised that he was not satisfied. The urge to bury himself in him prompted him to force him to accompany him again and again, but he was so tired that he lost consciousness.
Strangely enough, even though his desires were not fully satisfied, and Ray was too tired to cooperate with him, he did not want to vent it on anyone else.
What he wanted was the stalwart man sleeping like an innocent child beside him, but he had no intention of waking him up to satisfy his lust.
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes due to exhaustion, he somehow felt a sense of pity.
He unconsciously reached out to caress Ray's intoxicated sleeping face.
That unguarded expression and the bangs scattered on his forehead made him look much more childish than usual. This innocent appearance without wariness made Lan Xin feel a feeling of pity.
He had changed his mistresses one after another, but among so many women who had walked through his life, none of them could arouse the feelings in his heart.
He did not know how to explain this feeling of reluctance, but he knew that he had been doing something unusual recently.
For example, yesterday morning, when he accidentally saw Ray's staggering figure, he suddenly realized that Ray was only pretending to be brave in front of him. His heart gently clenched, and he wanted Ray to go back to bed to make up for his sleep without thinking.
In fact, as long as he thought about it carefully, the constant toil day and night had definitely drained Ray of his physical strength. He was just unwilling to admit defeat, so he kept his spirits up in front of him.
Realizing Ray's stubbornness, he knew that he was the kind of person who would not take the initiative to ask for help even when he was about to die.
Ray's physical strength had reached its limit due to his lack of attention and Ray's own stubbornness. He suddenly thought, if he hadn't happened to see his weak appearance yesterday, would he have held on until his nerves broke and refused to show weakness? And if things really went in the direction of worsening... He suddenly felt a chill, because he knew that Rey would not ask him for help even if he was dead.
Fortunately, the situation took a turn for the better before it reached that point.
Since Ray was unwilling to confess in front of him, he would take care of his physical condition for him.
He didn't understand why he cared so much about people other than himself, but he didn't have time to think about it. In this quiet atmosphere, he quickly fell asleep beside Ray...
Of course, the so-called vacation was not just to kill time at the beach.
At this moment, Ray was following Lan and his few beautiful mistresses who were too eye-catching as they walked along the street of shops that specialized in branded goods. They were doing what was commonly known as shopping.
No, strictly speaking, all the men here, including Lan, were here to accompany them because the only ones who were really interested in shopping were the girls who surrounded them excitedly and smiled happily.
"Lan, can I buy the dress I saw at the Milan fashion show last time?”Rosalind seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness of the previous two days and turned around to ask happily.
"As you wish." Blue nodded expressionlessly. To him, bringing these mistresses out to shop was just a sense of responsibility. He had never understood what was so fun about just walking around and buying things that might not be useful.
The piercing sunlight shone on his body. He brushed his silver-gray hair, which had been messed up by the wind, and looked forward with his ice-blue eyes. His elegant god-like demeanor always made passersby stop involuntarily and stare at this handsome man who did not look like a human at all.
"I'll wait at the coffee shop on the street. When you've bought enough or satisfied yourself, come and find me.”Not wanting to waste his time and energy with these boring women, Blue stopped Rosalind who was running in front.
In fact, he noticed that Rey, who was walking beside him, was trying his best to pretend as if nothing had happened, but the back of his neck was still breaking out in cold sweat due to the discomfort.
It was just like his personality to try to be brave, which made Blue pay more attention to him.
"Eh? Lan, aren't you going to accompany us?" A brown-haired girl asked foolishly.
"You're not children anymore. Do you have to let me accompany you when you're shopping?”
" But…" Lan used to accompany them!
Since it was considered a leisure activity, he would still accompany this group of girls who satisfied his carnal desires even though he was not interested in activities like hanging out.
"Forget it, we can go by ourselves.”Rosalind stopped her from speaking recklessly. She glanced coldly at Rey, who wasn't looking at her, and said to Blue, who was frowning, in an ingratiating manner.
As intelligent as she was, she had already guessed the reason why Blue was unwilling to accompany them this time.
It must be because of that man! She noticed his pale face and immediately understood what had happened. If she didn't want to be hated by Lan, she could only obey his wishes for now.
Thus, they spent a long afternoon shopping without Lan's company.
After parting ways with the girls, Blue couldn't wait to take Rey to a coffee shop about a hundred feet away.
The paleness of his face worried him, and he regretted his impulse to indulge his selfish desires yesterday.
If it wasn't for the fact that his rationality was temporarily dominated by the Flame of Desire, he wouldn't have forced Rey, who was already exhausted, to satisfy him.
It sounded ridiculous, but the one who caused him to be unable to restrain his impulse was Ray himself.
While he wanted to let him rest more, as long as he stayed by Rey's side, he would unconsciously want to be with him.
She wanted him to recuperate and accompany her, but once the two of them were alone, he would fall into the whirlpool of lust.
He clearly knew that this was a ridiculous contradiction, but he had lost the ability to control his emotions.
He had originally planned to let Ray rest in the villa for the day, but he thought about it and realized that it was a vacation. It would be too boring to just lock him up in the villa and the beach, so he forcefully brought him here.
After finding a quiet corner in the century-old coffee shop and sitting down, Ray followed Lan as usual and did not join the patrol work that the security personnel should do.
"If you're tired, you should sleep first.”
Hearing Blue, who had forced him to sit on the chair beside him two minutes ago, say this, Ray began to doubt his hearing. "Ah?"
"Women spend a lot of time shopping. You should take a rest before they come back.”
At this moment, Ray was sure that there was something wrong with his ears. How could Blue, who only wanted to attack his self-esteem, think about him?
"Why? Aren't you very tired?”
Here it comes again! He felt that Blue had been acting strangely these few days, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Just as Ray was trying to figure out the purpose of his fake kindness, a metallic light flashed in front of him from the right. He was shocked and reflexively stood in front of Blue.
The sound of the gunshot through the silencer was sharp and small. Rey's body seemed to be remotely controlled as it automatically moved in the direction of the gunshot.
Everything happened in an instant. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest that made him unable to breathe. He was surprised to find that his feet had lost the strength to support his body. His line of sight slowly moved upward, and his body seemed to be slowly sinking into the sea.
Like a slow-motion movie, the scene in front of Ray's eyes suddenly became extremely slow.
"Men! Protect Mr. Duffers!"
In his daze, he seemed to hear the other bodyguard who was responsible for Lan's personal safety shouting. Then, what he saw was Lan's frightened eyes. He seemed to be hugging him... This was quite strange, because his life and death should not matter to him!
He heard Blue say something to him, but everything was blurred as if separated by a wall. In the end, all he could remember was silence…
Would he die? Staring at Rey, who was lying on the white bed with a face no different from the bedsheet, Lan suddenly realized that he couldn't sense that he was still alive.
"Damn it!" He stepped forward and grabbed Rey's collar, who seemed to be breathless." If you dare to die, let me try. I will make you unable to rest in peace, whether in heaven or hell!”
It had been almost a week since he was ambushed. Ray, who had stepped forward to block the bullet for him, had been unconscious since then.
Looking at the unconscious man, Blue was not in the mood to care about who was trying to assassinate him. The only thing occupying his mind was whether Rey could survive.
"Damn it! How long are you going to sleep?"
Lan Zheng had been waiting by the bedside for a week, but Rey, who had been inserted with several IV drips, showed no signs of waking up. His pale face was getting thinner and thinner day by day, and his haggard face made people wonder if he was alive or dead.
If he continued to be unconscious like this, those who could have survived would also report to the Grim Reaper due to exhaustion.
Patience! The doctor told him to wait patiently for Ray to wake up.
A week ago, he had believed the surgeon, but now he wanted to catch him and pull out his lying tongue!
Blue, who was guarding the bedside, didn't look any better than Rey.
He stayed in the villa, which had been temporarily converted into a ward, without leaving the house. He was like a guardian angel by Rey's side.
He was afraid that Rey would die with his eyes closed, even though the doctor had repeatedly patted his chest to ensure that his injuries would not be fatal.
"If you dare to die like this, I will definitely make you regret it!”He leaned over and whispered threateningly in his ear," If you dare to die, I'll let Felice follow you immediately. So if you don't want your cute sister to die an innocent death, open your eyes quickly!”
In the past few days, Lan had said similar threatening words many times, but his threats did not have any effect.
"I'm serious." He opened his mouth again and said to Ray, who could not hear him at all,"Felice's life is in your hands. If you die, she won't live either."
Then, perhaps it was a miracle, or perhaps he really heard his powerful threat, that night, Ray, who had been unconscious for a week, finally opened his eyes under Blue's unblinking gaze.
This man was too unreasonable!
Rey Schumaher was half-lying on the hospital bed, frowning as he stared at the man who had given him the order.
It had only been two days since he escaped death, and his body had barely recovered to the point where he could get out of bed on his own, when Lan Niya Jett Divyers gave him an inexplicable order...
"In the future, you are absolutely not allowed to be so generous as to die.”
Ray thought to himself, I didn't willingly go through fire and water for him!
He was the one who threatened Felice's life and forced him to be his bodyguard. Why did he change his mind and ask him to take care of his own life? Bodyguards were supposed to take bullets for their employers and be scapegoats when necessary!
"But I'm your bodyguard!" Ray retorted.
"It's true that you're still my bodyguard, but from now on, you have to prioritize your own life.”
"How is that possible?" He had almost lost his life to fulfill his duty. What else did this unreasonable man want from him?
"No matter what, you're not allowed to die. Otherwise, I'll make Felice accompany you to the netherworld.”
"Your request is too unreasonable!”Ray's voice lowered involuntarily when he heard Blue mention Felice as a threat.
There should be a limit to how domineering he was, but this man who was so beautiful that he was beyond human seemed to have no reason to be human at all.
"No matter how rude or unreasonable you are, it's fine.”Lan still maintained her usual self expression." In short, you are not allowed to die. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”As long as he used Felice as a bargaining chip, he knew that no matter how much Rey complained, he would still obediently listen to his orders in the end.
"Why?" Ray couldn't take it anymore and asked.
He really couldn't understand what was going on in Blue's head.
When did Lan's life become so important to him? Was his unreasonable request a continuation of the new game that was inexplicably gentle and considerate to him?
"No reason." Blue replied expressionlessly," Also, I know that you didn't need to hit your vitals at that time.”
"Eh?" Ray, who had wanted to argue, froze when he heard Blue's words.
"The results of the trajectory and direction test show that you consciously went in the direction where the bullet came from. In fact, you knew the exact location of the gunshot at that time, right? Especially since you have a lot of actual combat experience, you should be able to determine the best way to deal with that moment.”
He didn't expect that this kind of thing would be discovered, and he didn't expect Lan to care so much about his life and death.
Indeed, at that time, when his body automatically protected the blue, his rich experience told him that he could only let the bullets hit unimportant places. However, at that moment, a voice in his head suddenly urged him to die in this accident. It was better than letting Blue continue to trample on his self-esteem.
On the other hand, in that critical situation, he really did not have enough time to think about what to do, so he only entrusted everything to the natural reaction of his body.
Previously, when he wanted to commit suicide, Blue had threatened Felice's life to stop him. Then, would Lan take revenge for this incident?
With this thought, Ray couldn't help but try to deceive everyone.
" I didn't…" he mumbled softly.
" In the future, if you have the intention of seeking death again…" Lan interrupted him. She could forgive him for committing suicide this time! "Regardless of whether you succeed or not, I will make Felice pay a heavy price for your reckless actions.”
" You..." Her body, which had not fully recovered, was so anxious that she took a deep breath.
Ray panted weakly and stared helplessly and confusedly at the determined Blue.
He couldn't figure out why things had developed like this, but Ray knew that he had no choice, whether it was in the past, present, or future.
He could only do as Lan said.
After realizing that he had " gotten over it," a satisfied smile finally appeared on Lan's face.
"I will decide where you will die.”He announced to Rey, who was unable to refute and could only lie back on the bed.
Lan didn't know what to call his feelings, but he knew that he absolutely didn't want to lose this sickly man in front of him, who was still unbelievably sexy to him.
He did not want him to leave him, he hoped that he would be by his side, and he was afraid of the pain of his near-death. All the strange emotions that Lan had never experienced before had emerged in these few short months. It was like the flood of Genesis that almost made him lose his head, but he did not regret it.
He wanted to know what this feeling was. He wanted to know if this was the love that most people talked about. He knew that he needed Ray's company to find the answer to this mystery.
Whether it was threats or intimidation, as long as he could keep Rey by his side, he would not hesitate to do anything!#
