The Emperor’s Favorite Imperial Concubine is an OCh58.2 - Mirror (2)

Translator: ChiFu

Wen Mingyu could see his disinclination, but it didn’t make sense that if he touched his own ears and felt happy, he couldn’t touch his if he wanted to. That wouldn’t be a two-way street. Z6p3Nv

He deliberately leaned forward, met his gaze with bated breath, and said, “Your Majesty, will you not even let me fulfill my one little wish?”

Then he reached out his arms and wrapped them around his neck, brushing his luffy rabbit ears against his cheek, and smacked a kiss on his chin before letting go. “Really not giving?”

He subsequently gave Mu Zhan a glance before lowering his head, drooping his lashes, and pouting his lips sorrowfully.

“I’m so hurt, ah.” 2O9SZh

Mu Zhan was silent. Even though he knew Wen Mingyu was acting and pretending, he had to admit that he just ate it up.

He bowed his head on his own initiative, grabbed Wen Mingyu’s wrist, and led it to the area close to his forehead, where, out of thin air, two peaked dragon horns sprouted in the shape of a brown tree limb with a few diagonal offshoots. But they were not really branches; rather, they exuded a subtle pressure of authority and majesty. Even if he did nothing except stand there still, it was enough to cause people to retreat, suppress the noise of their footsteps, and dare not raise their heads.

However, these were exceptions for Wen Mingyu.

Mu Zhan’s expression was bland, but he voluntarily bowed his head and let Wen Mingyu touch his horns. Places that no one else was qualified to approach and could not touch were different in front of Wen Mingyu.

Wen Mingyu guessed that Mu Zhan would not be entirely willing. Even if he was persuaded into agreeing, he would most probably just grudgingly allow himself to be stroked for a short while.

Unexpectedly, though, Mu Zhan directly bowed his head and pulled his wrist to his dragon horns. The horns that were close at hand were breathtakingly beautiful, almost like a stunning piece of art.

When he tentatively pinched one of the offshoots, he discovered that the horns were not smooth but rather had a little rough texture to them. Upon closer inspection, he would find that it was outlined in finely detailed grain lines, complicated and enigmatic, and one couldn’t help but fix their eyes there and be reluctant to look away.

Wen Mingyu curiously pinched it again, like he couldn’t get enough of it. However, Mu Zhan eventually grasped his hand and spoke quietly, “…That’s enough.” QSJZNx

As he spoke, he was going to take Wen Mingyu’s hand away, but he didn’t use much force. When Wen Mingyu heard that, he reflexively gripped the horn and, like a toddler who couldn’t let go of their toy, he held on tightly as if playfully clinging on.

Mu Zhan’s face changed instantly; his thin lips pursed and stiffened into a straight line.

Wen Mingyu sensed something was wrong with him. His muscles were all visibly tense, bulging underneath the fabric. He subconsciously let go of his hand and asked nervously, “Does it hurt?”

Mu Zhan’s face softened a little. He shook his head and said flatly, “It doesn’t hurt.” 6Fm4GC

Wen Mingyu exhaled a sigh of relief. After carefully observing his face again, he guessed that it should be the same sensation as his own experience of having his rabbit ears touched, which was pleasant and comfortable rather than uncomfortable.

But Mu Zhan was really capable at acting. If others didn’t know and saw his tense, expressionless face, they would definitely think he was angry.

Wen Mingyu laughed uncontrollably.

Mu Zhan straightened his body, his back lean, and his body gracefully, just like an upright pine tree. jG9ZMz

However, the faint reddish tip of the ears immediately dispelled the sense of being unattainable, harshly cold, and a nobel feeling. Pulling it back, it was more like a young youth in passionate and sizzling love—innocent but also bashful and overwhelmed.

Mu Zhan rarely lets Wen Mingyu see his reddened ears. His eyes both lit up, and feeling very novel, he reached out to touch those ears, only to have Mu Zhan bolt at the speed of light the moment he made contact.

Mu Zhan had a gloomy look on his face, staring at him with a taut, intimidating aura. wLBKka

But Wen Mingyu didn’t appear at all afraid and even grinned with two curved eyes that seemed to contain fine light in them.

Mu Zhan’s eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness while he was catching his hand, which was once again reaching out and looking for mischief.

Wen Mingyu was initially not so persistent. Rather, upon stopping him, he, in turn, increased his desire to touch his ears more.

Mu Zhan insisted on not giving it to him and said in a prim manner, “This one has important things to tend to. Stop it.” zw0C9S

Wen Mingyu frowned, skeptical. “Really?”

Mu Zhan’s face was unchanged. He really strolled over to the table and took a seat, behaving very earnestly as if conducting business. After a while, he appeared to have remembered something and tried to retract the dragon horns on top of his head.

Wen Mingyu took a look and quickly said, “Don’t—I still want to see. I won’t move.”

Mu Zhan paused for a moment. He truly didn’t store away his horns. With this appearance, he lowered his head and dealt with government affairs. lE8km

Sitting on one side of the table, Wen Mingyu was admiring his appearance at this moment. Because of the dragon horns on his head, he appeared less like a mortal emperor and more like a mythical dragon capable of conjuring forth the wind and rain, transforming into a dragon, spewing fiery flames, and possessing other incredible abilities that shake people’s hearts.

Mu Zhan was stared at so much that he couldn’t focus. Despite having the writing brush in his hand, he failed to jot anything down for a long time. Ultimately, he could only set down the writing brush with some impatience and turned to face him, asking, “The Imperial College should have left some homework, right? The term is about to begin.”

Wen Mingyu did have some homework, just like the future’s winter vacation assignments. Ten or so days of break were not long, but the homework assigned by the teacher for each subject was not at all small, so the Imperials thoroughly felt the teachers’ affection. On New Year’s Eve, they were doing their homework. Truly, they were very touched to death.

It can take three to five days to complete homework if it is done seriously. Wen Mingyu procrastinated, however, and only penned a portion of it, leaving a good number of questions unfinished. lkjH8n

He sighed profoundly at the thought, turned his head in a wilted manner, and went to work on his homework.

Even if you were the empress, you still have to do your winter vacation homework. Wuwuwu

Wen Mingyu laid out the rice paper and jotted down the areas he was weak at. He lowered his head, reflected bitterly, and couldn’t help but spit out, “I don’t want to write, ah. Why can’t the homework act a little more sensibly and finish this on its own?”

He peeked at Mu Zhan immediately after finishing his sentence, blinking his watery eyes with a face of innocence. How he looked at him implied that Mu Zhan was going to help him. 1QkXcy

Mu Zhan fell silent for a split second. Surprisingly, he nodded his head and agreed, “Okay, bring the homework over.”

Wen Mingyu was astonished. He merely made light of this and joked around. Though he still knew that he ought to complete the homework on his own, he wasn’t prepared for Mu Zhan to actually agree.

Wen Mingyu found it refreshing. My boyfriend helping out with my homework—that sounded appealing.

With a hint of hesitation mixed with excitement, he couldn’t resist reaching out his sinful paws, picking up his homework, and slowly dawdling himself towards Mu Zhan. ENZm2

After picking it up and taking a closer look, Mu Zhan then really raised his writing brush to work. He even made an effort to imitate Wen Mingyu’s handwriting, except when examined closely, the strokes were a touch swift and sharp, but other than that, he could barely tell the difference.

Wen Mingyu was amazed. If he slept through the night and Mu Zhan secretly helped him with his homework, after waking up in a daze, he would probably think he sleepwalked through his homework.

Although Mu Zhan imitated him very well, Wen Mingyu still didn’t let him finish writing everything by himself. Instead, he only handed over one piece of homework that he was very good at but was too lazy to write and wrote the rest on his own, especially the more difficult ones.

Mu Zhan bowed his head as he wrote. Wen Mingyu then stared at the rice paper and stared up at his face and his dragon horns. It was truly eye-pleasing and refreshing. It seemed that doing homework was not all that monotonous. 6iOXCA

Mu Zhan’s grip on the writing brush lurched, dropping an abrupt dot of ink.

“What’s wrong?” Wen Mingyu wondered.

“Nothing.”

Mu Zhan went on writing; only his grip on the writing brush was more stiff and unnatural than it had been earlier. rHLM5Y

After reading for a time, Wen Mingyu, satisfied, returned to writing his own homework, thinking that if the teacher who corrected this homework knew that it was written by His Majesty the Emperor, he didn’t know what kind of face he would make.

After he left, Mu Zhan relaxed and inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, but he also had some regrets in his heart. Wen Mingyu stopped staring at him anymore.

At night, they took their bath and went to bed as usual.

Wen Mingyu saw Mu Zhan, who had just washed, appearing in snow-white nightclothes, his jade crown removed, and a head of pitch-black hair lazily draped behind him. Because of the steam, the normally pale complexion became a bit healthier, and the thin-colored lips became slightly rosy. With droopy lashes and a face of indifference, it prevented people from associating the young, attractive man with the tyrant. Rather, they were left with the impression that he was a great beauty straight out of an ink scroll. ZdgeJm

Beauty didn’t discriminate between men and women, not to mention that in Wen Mingyu’s eyes, there was a boyfriend filter added.

Wen Mingyu approached, captivated in an instant by the beauty.

Mu Zhan raised his lashes, and the indifference in his eyes vanished and was replaced with a smile. The whole person sprang to life immediately.

Unable to resist, Wen Mingyu tiptoed to give him a quick kiss before stepping back and grinning at him. 1GHaZ9

Mu Zhan said, “That’s all?”

A light touch of lips. He obviously didn’t think it was enough.

Mu Zhan encircled his waist with his arms and pulled him in. With one hand resting on the back of his head, he bowed and planted a kiss on him. It was a very deep kiss, lips and tongue were entwined, swept and plundered.

Wen Mingyu responded in kind, sinking into the kiss. Fb4eqf

They kissed for a long time before they finally separated, but neither of them could let it end and remained embracing each other, pecking each other gently, and entwining their heated breaths.

Wen Mingyu unintentionally lifted his gaze and saw the bronze mirror not far behind Mu Zhan’s slanted back. Since it was intended for the emperor, it was obviously a rare and valuable item, clearer than ordinary bronze mirrors, not too small, and with floral carvings engraved around it.

All of this was secondary to the fact that the unmisted mirror just happened to reflect them crystal-clear.

The two people intimately embraced each other. The slender, upright figure leaned slightly forward and gently kissed the face of the person he was holding, while the person in his arms was nearly completely hidden from view, showing only two slender white arms that encircled the man’s neck and the lower half of his face, which was buried in the side of the man’s neck, cheeks dyed with a translucent red color, as if they were intoxicated, and eyes lost in a daze. GdZwe7

Shocked, Wen Mingyu couldn’t help but gawk. He bowed his head and subtly hid in Mu Zhan’s arms. He never knew that he looked like that when kissed.

Mu Zhan noticed his evasive movements and was momentarily taken aback. His eyes darted quickly to the back, caught sight of the mirror, and then he smiled.

“Shy?”

Wen Mingyu refused to admit it. He lifted his head and provocatively sucked Mu Zhan’s lips hard, even making a suggestive slurping noise. dvLGwq

He was smug after the kiss and exclaimed, “How can that be?”

Mu Zhan couldn’t suppress a laugh. “Mhm, you’re not. It’s me who is shy.”

Feeling satisfied, Wen Mingyu at last just about recovered his reasoning after being captivated by the beauty, and he said what needed to be said about the details of A/B/O.

He clarified that he was not a demon and was just born with an animal form, and Mu Zhan’s horns were the same case. He also talked about pheromones, compatibility, temporary marking, permanent marking, and so on. CvOzlQ

Mu Zhan listened, pondering as he did so, and soon it became clear.

“So, you were not sick, and that fever before was just a normal condition. You were seeking carnal pleasure from me?”

Wen Mingyu stiffened. This ability to grasp the point…

“When is the next one?” ICSeLM

Wen Mingyu stiffened even more. “… I’m not sure.”

“It should be soon based on what you just said,” Mu Zhan said with certainty.

He maintained a steady gaze on Wen Mingyu and continued, “I don’t know anything about that. Wouldn’t it be better to practice beforehand?”

I wish everyone a happy December! I can’t believe it’s nearing the end of the year already ~
