Murder the Dream Guy Chapter 367

Chapter 367 - I’m the Hot Young Stud

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This group of people seemed to be having dinner together!

Quan Shaoteng started to complain about the couple who had “wandered off” away from them.

“How shameless! I’ve never seen such a brazen man!”

Salimu followed, “Captain Quan, who are you talking about?”

Quan Shaoteng replied abruptly, “Your great Captain Bai!”

Salimu replied in the same swiftness, “Oh, then I don’t want to be involved. I’ll come back if anyone is roasting Captain Quan!”

Quan Shaoteng messaged thereafter. “… Is life too good for you or what?”

Salimu didn’t waste any time to respond. “Nope, I’m about to die of boredom in the hospital. Is anyone coming to eat dinner with me and tell me about the progress of the case today?”

“…”

There was a short silence in the chat.

Tu Liang broke the ice. “There’s no progress!”

Salimu replied just as fast as he always did. “See? I know I’m indispensable to the team!”

“…”

Once again, a short silence permeated in the chat.

Quan Shaoteng sent another message. “How shameless! I’ve never seen such a brazen man!”

Salimu messaged back right away. “I really mean it. Someone bring my backpack to the hospital please!”

Tu Liang joined the commotion once again. “What are you up to?”

Salimu replied. “… Although I’m injured, I can still work! Captain Bai, can I not go to the Special Police Force for training in future?”

Bai Muchuan was driving so he could not reply.

However, Xiang Wan was looking at the chat and felt that Salimu’s words did make sense.

“Salimu’s bored in the hospital. He wanted his backpack so he could work there. What if he managed to find something useful? I suggest that we let him handle investigate the ID that posted ‘The Temptation of the Rich & Famous’!”

Bai Muchuan spoke with an intrigued tone. “Did that ID post a new message?”

Xiang Wan shook her head. “Nope!”

As she said this, her gaze darkened a little. “But after tonight’s update, that ID might appear again!”

Bai Muchuan’s hands on the steering wheel tightened slightly.

He turned his head sideways to look at her small, pretty face and smiled.

This woman was becoming more and more like him!

The car suddenly jolted; Xiang Wan caught Bai Muchuan’s gaze and was dazed for a moment.

“What’s up?”

Bai Muchuan chuckled. “Nothing.”

Xiang Wan pouted. “Drive carefully! Why are you looking at me?”

“Mm… Xiang Wan.”

Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows as he brought his focus back to the road. “What?”

“Are you tired?” He suddenly asked.

“… I’m not tired!”

“The case has been dragging on for quite a while.”

“Are you tired?” Xiang Wan asked him back.

“Me? I’m used to it!” he said, “I’m the police!”

Xiang Wan had heard that from him countless times now. Sometimes she felt that that was sacred, like a mission. Sometimes, she felt that it was an admirable attitude… However, at this time, she suddenly had a feeling… that this was his self-perseverance, as well as his motivation.

“The police are also human! When you can’t take it anymore, take a break!”

“I’m alright.”

“Aye, our opponent is too cunning!”

“The main problem is—the enemy’s hiding in the dark while we’re out in the open.”

“Mm!” Xiang Wan gave it a thought. “So will Huang He come back or…?”

Earlier on, she had noticed that although Fang Yuanyuan was inside the chat group, Huang He’s ID was not… By right, now that both of them got back together, if Fang Yuanyuan was inside the chat group, she would definitely invite Huang He inside as well.

However, he was not there.

That could only mean… they might still have some other plans for him.

Bai Muchuan gave a vague response. “He should recuperate for now! We’ll decide when he recovers!”

Alright then…

Xiang Wan did not probe further.

The car was very slow. This was the first time Xiang Wan ever knew that Bai Muchuan would drive so slowly.

Moreover, they were on a road where there were not many vehicles.

Xiang Wan was particularly sensitive toward unusual situations.

She glanced at Bai Muchuan’s arm. “Is your wound alright?”

Bai Muchuan replied in a monotonous tone, “It’s fine.”

If he said it was fine, that meant it was not really fine!

Xiang Wan reached out to him and touched his hand on the steering wheel.

The moment she touched his hand, she realized how cold it was.

She was quite shocked and her gaze deepened a little.

Bai Muchuan’s hands were always full of warmth.

His body, his hands, and his embrace were filled with warmth, although it was winter. But now…

“Let’s go to the hospital first!” Xiang Wan said, “Let’s get your wound checked and visit Salimu as well!”

“It’s alright. Didn’t the doctor prescribe medicine that day? You’ll help me redress my wound later.”

“…”

So stubborn!

Both of them chose a small restaurant in an old street.

This meal was unlike the last time when both of them ate outside and met people from the Dark Clan. They had a peaceful dinner.

The owner of the restaurant was a local. He could not speak Mandarin very well, but he was friendly and warm towards them.

The charges were also inexpensive.

Both of them ordered three dishes and a soup. The bill only amounted to over 20 yuan.

The Dark Clan, which had been active in Nanmu for many years, seemed to have evaporated into thin air in a night’s time.

“Is this normal?”

“It’s normal.”

“Caught all of them?”

“Those we had not caught would have turned over a new leaf!”

“…”

This was a critical period. Nobody in their right mind would cause trouble at this time and get caught.

On the way back after dinner, Xiang Wan was enjoying the fresh, night breeze.

She remarked, “I hope Nanmu’s winds will always smell good like this!”

Bai Muchuan smiled and glanced at her.

It was very quiet in the hotel.

Xiang Wan knew the film crew of “The Grey List” was staying at Nanmu Hotel, and she did think of whom she might meet.

Ye Lun, Yu Ning, Lima, Meng Chi… or others.

However, just like the Dark Clan, none of them appeared.

“What a pity! There’s no hot young stud in sight!”

After closing the door, Xiang Wan expressed her disappointment.

The next second, Bai Muchuan’s gaze fell on her.

“What’s up?” she laughed.

“You want to meet hot young studs?” Bai Muchuan asked.

“Yeah! Hah.” Xiang Wan chuckled. She put down her bag and turned her head to glance at him. “Hot young studs are pleasing to the eye.”

Just before she finished her sentence, her waist felt tight.

Bai Muchuan had hugged her from behind.

“Ah!” Xiang Wan smiled as she tried to free herself. “What are you doing?”

Bai Muchuan held her closely. “Weren’t you saying that you wanted to see hot young studs? I’ll let you have a good look…”

Pffft! Xiang Wan burst in laughter. “Where’s the hot young stud?”

Bai Muchuan grunted and lifted his chin proudly. “Right in front of you!”

In front of Xiang Wan, Bai Muchuan would sometimes behave like a kid. He would be jealous because of something she would say; he would even feel upset over a glance or an action she would do… Just like what was happening at this moment. Although he knew Xiang Wan was simply paying attention to Ye Lun and the rest of the film crew because of the case, he could not help but feel jealous over it!

Although Xiang Wan was amused, her eyebrows formed a dubious frown as she looked at him.

“… Your Excellency, you’ve passed the age to be a young stud. You’ll be 30 soon, right?”

In just an instant, Sir Little Bai’s face darkened.

Xiang Wan chuckled when she saw that expression.

“How can you be a hot young stud? If a hot young stud is ‘fresh meat’, you’re the ‘cured meat’!”

Oh no!

That hurts!

Immediately, Bai Muchuan carried Xiang Wan and threw her to the bed… the springs of the mattress bounced together with their bodies for a short while.

Xiang Wan was being pressed down heavily.

Her face was against the quilt; her back was against him.

She could not use much strength in such a posture. She was laughing as she gasped for air.

“Hey, Bai Muchuan, don’t be so childish!”

Bai Muchuan held her tightly. “How can I be a hot young stud if I’m not childish?”

Xiang Wan was happily speechless at what he had said. “…”

Full marks for his logic!

It sounded so reasonable!

Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh as he had control over her. However, he did not want to hurt her injured leg accidentally, so he moved it slowly.

“Little Xiang Wan, I feel that you should pay a price for that term ‘cured meat’!”

“Don’t, Your Excellency!” Xiang Wan could not see his face. Hearing his ‘sinister’ laughter made her feel flustered.

Such a feeling…

It was a very different feeling compared to what she felt from their usual lovey-dovey moments.

Since he was behind her, she felt especially insecure.

It felt dangerous!

As if a wolf had targeted her!

And he would gobble her up!

Xiang Wan softened her stance. “Your Excellency, I’m wrong… you’re the ‘freshest meat’!”

Hurhur! Bai Muchuan let out a low chortle. Nevertheless, he did not intend to let her off.

He did not allow her a chance to move as he laid on her back tightly and turned his head slowly to kiss her ears and neck…

“Little Xiang Wan, I… want you!”

“Don’t you have work to do?”

“I can do this first…”

“You’re not tired?”

“Nope!”

“…”

“You don’t want to?”

“It’s not that… I’m just worried your body might not be able to take it!”

“Bullsh*t! How could I not take it!?”

“Ugh…”

Xiang Wan buried her head into the quilt.

A pair of young lovers who had just tasted the forbidden fruit was having an endless desire to explore such matters. They were curious, and they had a longing for it. There were also feelings of indescribable sweetness and expectations. They were wishing they could be together all the time. If Bai Muchuan did not have a case on hand, Xiang Wan believed he would stay inside the hotel room 24 hours a day…

They were enjoying their private time with each other when a mobile phone rang.

It was Xiang Wan’s phone!

The caller was her mom.

Since Xiang Wan just arrived last night, she had not yet had a good chat with her mom.

Bai Muchuan was a little vexed. “Pick it up later!”

“… I can’t. It’s my mom!”

Xiang Wan consoled him and quickly picked up the call.

Her mom sounded very worried.

Xiang Wan comforted her and tried to adjust herself to a relaxed state. She did not expect that her mom would suddenly change the topic and asked about Fang Yuanyuan.

“Lass, did something happen to Yuanyuan?”

“What happened?” Xiang Wan listened attentively.

“That girl’s not quite right! Your eldest aunt said that… Yuanyuan called her this morning and told her that she wanted to get married!”
