Top Omega Pretending To Be Good Again Chapter 9 and Chapter 10

Chapter 9: Seriously Flirting

Gu Jun and him stopped not far from the café.

He gentlemanly opened the door to the backseat for Shen Mu, then asked in a soft voice, “Can you ride in my shuttle?”

“Of course,” Shen Mu stood in front of Gu Jun, looking up at him with excitement in his clear eyes.

Silence filled the journey.

Gu Jun seemed focused on driving the shuttle, while Shen Mu “behaved” and stared at Gu Jun from the backseat.

Shen Mu had fair skin, one of the fairest among omegas. Against his fair complexion, the pink on his earlobes appeared particularly noticeable.

And now he was on his way home with Gu Jun.

Gu Jun’s home.

This realization made Shen Mu feel like he was dreaming. He couldn’t help but stare at Gu Jun, his heart beating faster and his ears growing hot.

Am I so inexperienced? Is this how I react to such things? Shen Mu couldn’t help but criticize himself inwardly.

He clasped his hands together, rubbing them to calm his thundering heartbeat.

“There’s a blanket inside the cushion next to you,” Gu Jun suddenly broke the silence.

“Hmm?” Shen Mu, who was solely focused on calming his racing heart, didn’t immediately understand the meaning behind Gu Jun’s words.

“You look cold,” for some reason, Gu Jun, who rarely spoke much, couldn’t help but want to say more when facing Shen Mu. “Your ears are turning red, and when you took the bag from my hand earlier, your fingers were cold.”

“Th-thank you.” Hearing Gu Jun’s words, Shen Mu’s earlobes turned even redder.

So, Gu Jun thought his ears were red from the cold. Actually, that wasn’t the case…

And, it seemed that Gu Jun noticed the light touch on his hand earlier.

“Mhm.” Gu Jun raised his hand and turned on the heating system in the shuttle. “This shuttle is relatively small, so it might get stuffy when the heating system is on. If you feel uncomfortable later, just let me know, and we can turn it off.”

“Ah, okay.” Shen Mu nodded hurriedly, slightly flustered as he reached for the cushion on his left.

Throughout the journey, he was too focused on looking at Gu Jun and didn’t notice this cushion.

The cushion was light blue and fluffy, very comfortable to hold.

Subconsciously, Shen Mu rubbed the plush of the cushion, then glanced at Gu Jun. Somehow, he didn’t think this was something Gu Jun would like to use.

The Iron Blood General, the Empire’s War God, and everyone outside says he was exceptionally cold.

Although Shen Mu himself didn’t find Gu Jun particularly cold.

“It’s new, no one has used it before.” Seeing that Shen Mu was holding the cushion and not taking out the blanket, Gu Jun thought he disliked it. “The blanket inside hasn’t been used by anyone either.”

“Then, what is this for?” Shen Mu was surprised. Actually, he didn’t have any feelings of dislike.

“It’s for you,” Gu Jun said honestly.

S-specifically for him?

Upon hearing this, Shen Mu’s heart seemed to skip a beat.

This… this was too… too flirtatious.

Shen Mu had no idea how Commander Gu Jun, the solemn and uneventful Major general, could say such flirtatious words so seriously.

Chapter 10: Can You Sit Closer?

Shen Mu lowered his head slightly and rubbed the cushion in his arms.

Subconsciously, he leaned closer and discovered a faint fragrance of laundry detergent on the cushion.

“General, did you already know that I would be on your shuttle this morning?” Shen Mu deliberately spoke calmly.

“I didn’t know,” Gu Jun said, “but I thought there might be a possibility, so I bought it.”

The young and melodious voice sounded pleasant, but Gu Jun felt a bit awkward using honorifics again.

Didn’t he just call him “you” earlier and tugged at his sleeve, calling him “gege (big brother)”?

“Thank you,” Shen Mu subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his warm earlobe, then unzipped the cushion and took out the blanket, properly covering it on his legs. “This feels much warmer.”

“No need for honorifics,” Gu Jun suddenly said.

“Hmm?”

“If possible, please don’t use the term ‘you’ to address me,” Gu Jun made an unprecedented joke, “I don’t look that old, do I?”

“Of course not.” Shen Mu held the cushion and gently rubbed his chin against it. “You look very young, really, about the same age as me.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jun chuckled softly.

It wasn’t that exaggerated, but it was indeed something to be happy about when a young man flattered him like this.

Because of Gu Jun’s low laughter, Shen Mu felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

At this moment, Shen Mu couldn’t help but be mesmerized. How could he be so incredibly handsome? Not just when he was not smiling, but even more so when he did.

Many years ago, Shen Mu understood that he had no resistance against Gu Jun whatsoever.

By now, the sun had completely set. The bright moon hung high, casting a serene and tranquil glow on the winter snow.

The shuttle came to a stop in the courtyard of Gu Jun’s residence.

Gu Jun stepped down from the shuttle and reached out his hand toward Shen Mu, who had just opened the rear door.

Upon seeing this, Shen Mu’s heart seemed to skip a beat, and he instinctively reached out and held Gu Jun’s hand, then pulled him out of the shuttle.

Shen Mu’s action clearly caught Gu Jun off guard.

In fact, he just wanted him to hand over the backpack. He just wanted to help him carry the backpack, that’s all.

The backpack looked like it contained quite a few books. Although he didn’t feel it was heavy while holding it, objectively speaking, it wasn’t exactly light either.

“Shall we go inside?” Shen Mu tentatively asked when he noticed Gu Jun standing still.

“Let’s go in.” Hearing this, Gu Jun lowered his gaze and glanced at the slender and fair hand that gently held his fingers. He couldn’t bring himself to let go.

Gu Jun took a step forward, then bent down and took Shen Mu’s backpack out of the shuttle, casually slinging it over his shoulder. “Let’s go inside.”

“Oh… okay.”

They were too close just now. If he leaned forward a little, they would be close enough to kiss.

Shen Mu pursed his lips, his heart pounding like a drum.

Once inside, Gu Jun gestured for Shen Mu to sit on the couch and then poured him a glass of water.

The water was slightly warm, meant for Shen Mu to warm his hands with as he held it. 

Gu Jun adjusted the temperature of the air conditioning a few degrees higher and took off his coat, hanging it aside. He picked up a small wooden stool and sat on the other side of the table, handing the remote control for the air conditioning to Shen Mu. “Adjust the temperature yourself.”

“Okay, thank you.” Shen Mu took the remote control and placed the glass of water down. “This temperature is quite comfortable.”

“Hmm.” Gu Jun nodded, looking at Shen Mu. “Shall we officially start chatting now?”

“Can… can you sit closer?” Shen Mu lightly patted the couch and whispered, “This couch is long and big enough for two people.”

I want to sit with you, I want to be closer to you.
