Murder Call

“Beep!” Scan successful.

Mo Lin, who happened to witness this scene, rarely frowned, quickly hung up the phone, and walked straight towards the two.

After successfully adding each other on WeChat, Wan Shu sent a smiley face: “Forensic Doctor Gu, let’s chat later!”

Wan Shu finished speaking and winked at Gu Yuan, proving with her actions that as long as she wasn’t embarrassed, the awkwardness would fall on others.

The female police officer taking Wan Shu to the interrogation room was embarrassed, and when she saw Teacher Mo coming, she quickly pulled Wan Shu to the interrogation room.

Gu Yuan put away his phone, his eyes fixed on Mo Lin walking towards him.

Mo Lin’s lips were pressed into a line, looking somewhat unhappy, and his light eyes appeared a bit gloomy due to his emotions.

For some reason, Mo Lin gave him a strange feeling.

This unfamiliar feeling made his heart race for a moment, like a child who had done something wrong being stared at by an adult.

Even though Mo Lin hadn’t said anything yet, a voice in his heart was already speaking: Gu Yuan, it seems like… you’re in trouble…

Mo Lin walked up to Gu Yuan and reached out to straighten the collar that Gu Yuan had just messed up. The wedding ring on his left ring finger brushed against Gu Yuan’s earlobe: “Are you sure you want to provoke me?”

It was the first time Gu Yuan had seen Mo Lin like this, with a bit of emotion, yet seemingly trying hard to restrain himself, which suddenly made it a bit amusing.

Gu Yuan nonchalantly moved his lips: “Did I provoke you?”

Mo Lin’s temples throbbed with pain. His long fingers reached into his suit pocket and pulled out a strawberry-flavored candy, unwrapping it slowly: “Forensic Doctor Gu is a family man, you need to learn to say no outside.”

Gu Yuan stared at the candy in Mo Lin’s hand: “Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Mo Lin fed the unwrapped pink candy to Gu Yuan’s lips: “No, just telling you not to do it again next time.”

The strawberry-flavored candy slowly melted in Gu Yuan’s mouth, and he let out a low “hmm.”

Mo Lin took this “hmm” as a compromise, and his expression finally softened a bit: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat!”

“No.” Gu Yuan turned his head and headed towards the cafeteria, not intending to wait for Mo Lin at all.

By the time he had his food and sat at a cafeteria table, Mo Lin suddenly appeared and placed a bottle of fresh goat milk in front of him: “From now on, someone will deliver goat milk to you every noon. In less than a month, you’ll make up for the nutrients you’ve been lacking recently.”

When Mo Lin teased Gu Yuan in the morning, he noticed that Gu Yuan’s waist had become thinner, so he ordered goat milk early in the morning.

But this sentence sounded different to Gu Yuan. What he heard was: I’ll have to leave again soon, maybe for a month.

Looking at the steaming goat milk in front of him, Gu Yuan suddenly lost his appetite: “I don’t drink goat milk.”

“Hmm? Didn’t you always like the fresh goat milk from this place?” Mo Lin asked.

Gu Yuan kept his head down. The reason he liked it was because it was given to him by Mo Lin. Anything Mo Lin gave him became delicious, not just any milk from anyone.

“That was before, I’m tired of it now.” Gu Yuan turned and took out a can of Red Bull from his backpack: “I’m more used to drinking this now.”

Mo Lin glanced at the Red Bull on the table: “Red Bull at noon? Not planning to take a nap?”

“No nap. If I don’t sleep at noon, I won’t have insomnia at night.”

Gu Yuan’s insomnia was an old problem, but as long as he was in Mo Lin’s arms, he could always sleep soundly. However, Mo Lin had been on long business trips for the past two years, so his insomnia had worsened.

He couldn’t rely on Mo Lin for everything. The discomfort left behind when Mo Lin couldn’t be with him needed to be slowly adapted to.

“I’m back now, and you’re still worried about not being able to sleep?” Mo Lin said, seemingly hinting at something.

Gu Yuan wasn’t in the mood to discuss this with him, so he sulkily gnawed on his ribs.

Watching Gu Yuan gnaw on ribs, Mo Lin’s eyes showed a hint of heartache. He returned to the window and got a full bowl of ribs, placing it in front of Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan looked up at him in surprise: “You’re eating this much?”

“It’s for you.” Mo Lin sat across from Gu Yuan and pushed the bowl of ribs towards him: “Don’t you like the cafeteria’s ribs? Eat more if you like them.”

Mo Lin barely ate anything, just kept watching Gu Yuan. Occasionally, his eyebrows would raise, as if watching Gu Yuan eat was the most interesting thing.

After the meal, Mo Lin took the initiative to wash both of their dishes. When he turned around, he found that Gu Yuan was no longer in his original spot, and the table still had the unopened bottle of fresh goat milk.

He paused for a moment, feeling as if something inside him had been pinched hard, making it difficult to breathe.

The forgotten milk was like him being forgotten at this moment. Gu Yuan had left on his own, not waiting for him.

Just as Mo Lin was feeling disappointed, a slender hand suddenly picked up the milk left on the table.

Gu Yuan stood not far away, looking at Mo Lin in confusion: “Aren’t you leaving?”

With that, he tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of milk.

Mo Lin just stood there dumbfounded, watching Gu Yuan. In that brief minute, Mo Lin’s mood soared from the depths to the clouds, leaving him momentarily speechless.

He stood in place, watching the person walking towards him, feeling as if a sea of flowers had bloomed in his heart.

Mo Lin: “Come to my rest room at noon.”

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, his mind involuntarily playing strange images, causing his face to flush red: “I’m busy.”

“Don’t rush to answer, I haven’t said what we’re doing yet.” Mo Lin said with a smile, looking at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan: “What are we doing?”

“Of course, something more private.” Mo Lin seemed to find teasing the innocent Gu Yuan very amusing, feeling completely at ease.

Gu Yuan: “What private thing?”

“You’ll know when you get there.” Mo Lin urged: “We need to hurry.”

Gu Yuan: … Hurry?

Mo Lin’s rest room was large. Upon entering, there was a big desk, with two pots of evergreen plants on either side. Opposite was a small tea table with tea-making utensils, and next to it was a small single room for sleeping. The sheets and duvet covers were changed weekly by someone, even when he was away on business trips.

Mo Lin dragged him into the rest room, locked the door, and began taking off his jacket.

Gu Yuan stood dumbfounded at the door, watching the other undress, like an innocent little lamb.

“Don’t just stand there, help me finish those files.” Mo Lin loosened his tie and pointed at a pile of files on the desk.

Gu Yuan: ?

Seeing Gu Yuan’s puzzled yet shy expression, with a hint of disappointment, Mo Lin finally revealed a triumphant smile: “What? Disappointed?”

Mo Lin hung his suit jacket on the wall, opened a bottle of water, took a sip, and looked at Gu Yuan with interest.

Realizing he had overthought, Gu Yuan felt a bit annoyed: “Teacher Mo, if you want me to work overtime, you need to pay.”

“You’re still counting so clearly with me?” Mo Lin put down the coffee, stood in front of Gu Yuan, and smiled: “So, how does our Forensic Doctor Gu want me to pay? Is body payment okay?”

Gu Yuan: “Teacher Mo, you’re a public figure, this isn’t a good influence.”

“What should I do then?” Mo Lin lowered his head, their noses almost touching.

Mo Lin looked at Gu Yuan’s lips, pressed into a line, somewhat unhappy: “I’m just an ordinary man too.”

At this moment, Li Meng, standing at the rest room door, was puzzled seeing Mo Lin and Gu Yuan enter together: “What does Teacher Mo want with so many files, and why did he call Gu Yuan in too? What are they looking for?”

“Could it be… the culprit has a criminal record?” Li Meng pondered, wondering if he should share this thought with Wang Yue.

Just then, Wang Yue came out of the office: “By the way, Li Meng, go help Teacher Mo, see what he’s looking for?”

Wang Yue patted Li Meng’s shoulder: “You know, Teacher Mo always likes to keep things mysterious when handling cases. Go see if there’s anything we can help with, after all, more people means more strength!”

Li Meng looked at Wang Yue with a troubled expression: “Captain, maybe you should go. Teacher Mo and Gu Yuan are in the rest room, I don’t want to disturb them.”

Wang Yue: “What’s there to disturb? If you don’t want to go, you can go to Interrogation Room No. 5 to question Wan Shu.”

Li Meng thought for a moment: “Forget it, that girl is quirky. I asked her a couple of questions earlier, and she directly asked if I had a girlfriend… and wanted to add me as a friend. Are all young girls this bold now? You’re better at interrogations, you should question her. I’ll go ask Teacher Mo!”

“That’s the spirit, don’t be afraid, I believe in you!” Wang Yue patted Li Meng’s shoulder, encouraging him: “Report to me if there’s any situation.”

Li Meng nodded and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Inside, things were heating up.

Mo Lin’s low voice was at Gu Yuan’s ear: “What should I do? I’m just an ordinary man.”

While kissing Gu Yuan, Mo Lin unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a broad chest, his fingers reaching for Gu Yuan’s waist, pushing through layers to explore deeper.

The kiss slid from lips to neck, Gu Yuan’s ears flushed red, his body’s reactions seemingly faster than his mind, his slender fingers gripping Mo Lin’s shoulder tightly, knuckles turning white.

Mo Lin’s lips gently kissed Gu Yuan’s ear, still teasing: “How could I let my baby be disappointed…”

Under Mo Lin’s intense advances, Gu Yuan gradually lost control over his body. It was a strange feeling, as if his body, though his own, was being controlled by someone else.

Mo Lin looked at the person in his arms, his gaze deepening, and with a forceful arm, lifted him onto the desk. Just then, a heavy knock came from the door…

“Teacher Mo, can I come in?”
