’Senior Grind, don’t forget about your mission.’
Jas Grind was talking with Huang Shu when he got the notification. Jas Grind glanced at Huang Shu, who seed to be enjoying their ti together, and smiled at him. "Master Huang, unfortunately, I have other things to do."
Huang Shu was surprised when he saw Jas Grind suddenly walked past him. Huang Shu grabbed Jas Grind’s wrist and asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Ah, I need to et soone," Jas Grind said. He glanced at Long Zhen, who was still talking with a regional governnt, and Huang Shu seed to catch Jas Grind’s line of sight. He peered and scoffed. "Ah, I see, Mister Grind wants to et Long Zhen."
Huang Shu felt that his pride was at stake here. Because he finally laid an eye to a man that seed to be a good person, an excellent candidate to be his lover, but Long Zhen did absolutely nothing and already stole his candidate away.
"What is your intention with Long Zhen?" Huang Shu asked.
"That... I cannot tell you, Master Huang," Jas Grind shook his head. "My matter is not your problem. Please let go."
Huang Shu squinted to observe Jas Grind, then he noticed Jas Grind’s bowtie was a bit crooked, showing a small vial with a spray. The bowtie should be able to spray so acidic fluid in case of danger.
It was a smart and helpful gadget for a spy, a professional spy that was. Jas Grind didn’t seem to be one of them since he didn’t pay so much attention to detail, and his facial expression couldn’t lie either.
He was like a bunny trying to hold a knife with his mouth.
’Cute.’ Huang Shu thought. Jas Grind was indeed a gorgeous man, but Huang Shu was not easily swayed by beauty. At first, he only thought of Jas Grind as soone to spend his free ti with.
But now, since this beauty actually had so quality in him, Huang Shu was inevitably interested. He leaned in and whispered lowly at Jas Grind, ’You are a spy, right? Are you here to assassinate Long Zhen?’
Jas Grind’s eyes widened in response. He thought he was stealthy enough, but this mafia boss was able to guess his identity correctly. Jas Grind beca uncomfortable and tried to release his hand from Huang Shu. "M—Master Huang, I think we have nothing to talk about here. Please release my hand."
[How could he find out about my identity so quickly?! Am I really that easy to guess?]
[Pupa: Your bowtie is crooked, you showed the acid spray from your bowtie to Huang Shu. These mafia bosses are the real deal, you know. They are not people whom you can play around.]
"Oh, I can, but I think it will be more fun to play around with you a bit," Huang Shu grinned. "Mister Grind, what if... I told you that I have the sa intention?"
Jas Grind stopped struggling. He frowned. "What do you an?"
"I can help you to complete your mission, but I need sothing from you. Do not worry. It is sothing that should be easy for you to fulfil," Huang Shu grinned. His finger unbuttoned Jas Grind’s suit, and he continued, "You shall be in my bed once the mission has been completed. But for now, I’d want you to be my partner. I don’t care if you think of it as a pretend partner or whatever."
Jas Grind seed to consider this for a mont.
[Huang Shu is really Long Zhen’s enemy, right? No backhanded intention? No shady deals?]
[Pupa: Well, he is another mafia boss, of course, he has shady deals. But it is correct that Huang Shu is Long Zhen’s rival. In fact, he is eager to get rid of Long Zhen because he wanted the trade monopoly, of course.]
[Okay then, since I don’t need to romance Long Zhen at all, let’s do it with my way... just with a different man!]
After careful thought, Jas Grind nodded. "You just want to be your pretend partner, right? I do not mind, but may I know why? Master Huang doesn’t lack man or woman at all."
"It’s up to about who I will pick. Either you accept it or not," Huang Shu said. He engulfed his hand around Jas Grind’s waist and said, "Now, shall we et your target, darling?"
Jas Grind leaned his head on Huang Shu’s chest and replied, "Certainly, honey."

’Where is that cute guy?’ Long Zhen pondered. His eyes observed around the party, scanning the surrounding to find that cute guy who wanted to assassinate him. He was currently attending a charity party with an elegant man beside him.
The deal was simple. He wanted to find the minister of trade and offered him this young man beside him in exchange for leeway for his trade in and out of the border.
After the deal was sealed, he wanted to find the cute guy and, well... play around with him a bit. "Master Long, are you listening?" the elegant man beside him said.
"Hm? Yes," Long Zhen said unattentively.
"Master Long, you seem to be looking for soone. I can help if you want," the elegant man suggested himself, but Long Zhen ignored him instead. Long Zhen took his phone out and searched the guy’s number. He already had that cute guy’s number, but he was yet to know his real na.
Long Zhen finally texted Jas Grind first.
*Hey, cute spy, you said that you want to assassinate . Where are you right now? I’m at the charity party hosted by the governnt, co here, or you might miss the chance to kill .*
Ding! The mont Long Zhen sent the text, a ssage notification rang on his ear, telling him that Jas Grind was near. He looked to the front and saw the cute spy with his archnesis, Huang Shu.
Huang Shu had his hand rested on Jas Grind’s waist, while Jas Grind rested his head on Huang Shu’s muscular chest. "Ah, did you just send a text?" Jas Grind asked.
Long Zhen was stunned silly. He thought the cute spy would run around him with his klutz behaviour, trying to kill him and inevitably failed. It was such an entertaining thing to watch.
But now, the cute spy was in Huang Shu’s embrace, and he also let Huang Shu touched his waist. Long Zhen gritted his teeth. "Master Huang, do you know this guy?"
Huang Shu nodded with pure certainty. "Yes, he is my partner."
"PARTNER?!" Long Zhen was shocked. How could this guy leave him hanging like this and go inside Huang Shu’s embrace? Long Zhen thought they would be playing this cat and mouse ga for a while until he got bored.
Seeing the shocked expression of Long Zhen, Huang Shu was satisfied in his heart. "Of course, just like you and your partner, Master Long," Huang Shu provoked.
Long Zhen glanced at the man beside him, that was supposed to be his partner. Actually, Long Zhen didn’t intend to bring him, but he needed this guy in case a deal happened in this charity.
Long Zhen felt inexplicably guilty towards the cute spy. "T—This is now what it looks like," Long Zhen tried to explain.
"Huh? Master Long is an amazing man. I see nothing wrong with you having so many partners," Jas Grind said. "We may have different taste, Master Long. I’m loyal to my partner, right, honey?"
Huang Shu nodded. "Yes, darling."
Long Zhen was speechless with the harmony between these two. He felt both awkward and stupid at the sa ti. Because he felt a sense of crisis when this cute spy started dating soone else.
Or maybe...
Long Zhen had another guess in his head. Albeit incompetent, this guy was very serious about doing his job. There was no way he could switch that easily.
’Maybe... he just got stationed to assassinate soone else because he hasn’t hurt at all after two assassination attempts?’
’... I will make sure that he is assigned to .’
[Pupa: Ding! Fateter increases to 15%.]
[Pupa: Do you know your real mission here?]
[Huh, what?]
[Pupa:... why are you doing this unnecessary drama?]
[This is not an unnecessary drama! This is beneficial in the long run! Long Zhen will get jealous and... and...]
[Pupa: And what? There is no use in this. You know it yourself, right?]
[...Pupa, you are too detailed! Don’t worry, I will complete the mission just fine!]
[Pupa: Now you are just dodging your responsibility!]
