Chapter 279 - 10.20
"I will bring you to a nice place," Long Zhen said.
Yunyu thought that Long Zhen would bring him again to that penthouse suite. He was ready to do the same routine of trying to assassinate Long Zhen after a bit of seduction again. Because at this point, he was not sure what to do.
[I really cannot delete this mission of killing Long Zhen?]
[Pupa: Unfortunately, no. It is already set that your character background will always try to assassinate Long Zhen. James Grind is very righteous even as an assassin and spy. He only takes the mission to kill someone whose existence is dangerous and harming others, like Long Zhen or Huang Shu.]
[Pupa: In this world, no matter how many cycles you will have to repeat, you will inevitably going to the same routine again and again.]
Yunyu glanced at Long Zhen, who looked cold and restrained as always. He thought Long Zhen would change after that traumatizing cycle, but it seemed that he was still the same cold guy.
He thought something would be different in this 17th cycle. But maybe, he would be stuck in this world for a while.
Long Zhen whispered to his driver where they would go. Yunyu thought that they would be going to that hotel again.
But surprisingly, the driver took a different route and drove far from the city. The city lights started flickering further and further, and after a while, James Grind finally realized where they were going.
They were going to the lakeside mansion again.
James Grind or Yunyu remembered that traumatizing event that happened in the previous cycle. His body shuddered immediately, but he kept his cool because he didn't want Long Zhen to realize that he also repeated the same cycle.

"We are here," Long Zhen said as the lamp automatically turned on as they went it. Long Zhen held James Grind's hand tightly and used the lift to the highest floor, the third floor, to the rooftop balcony.
"Master Long, this is indeed a beautiful rooftop with beautiful moonlight scenery. But isn't this a bit too far? We can just rent a penthouse or something in a hotel," James Grind commented. Long Zhen said nothing, and he held James Grind's hand and led him to the railing.
"Touch the glass railing," Long Zhen said.
"Huh?" James Grind was confused.
"It's okay, touch the glass railing," Long Zhen repeated.
James Grind slowly put his hand on the glass railing. His body flinched for a second, "A—Ah, the railing is quite cold, haha…" James Grind commented.
Long Zhen observed every gesture that James Grind did because he looked nervous for some reason. When James Grind winced after he touched the glass railing, Long Zhen's heart was also pinched.
'Maybe I'm the only one who went through this cycle of transmigration and reincarnation. But James Grind's body doesn't lie. Maybe he remembers that he died in this place before…' Long Zhen thought.
"Do you like this place?" Long Zhen asked.
"N—Not really," James Grind replied. "I prefer to stay in another place. This place is too quiet… too lonely."
"But this is a perfect spot for a lover, right?" Long Zhen's slowly creeping on James Grind's waist, and he hugged James Grind from behind. "In this place, you don't need to hear anyone else, just two of us."
"M—Master Long, this is quite intimate of you. But I think it is too fast for us to be in that kind of relationship," James Grind rejected. He struggled to get Long Zhen's hand off his waist, but it seemed to be in vain because Long Zhen now pulled him deeper into his embrace.
James Grind turned his back to face Long Zhen, "M—Master Long—mmf—!"
James Grind was stunned when Long Zhen suddenly kissed him. His kiss was gentle and full of desperation. As if he wanted James Grind to stick with his body, never get separated. James Grind struggled for a while, but he gradually drowned in this desire.
[Pupa: Warning! Warning! The host is in the yellow line of getting out of character! Please be careful and maintain the character setting!]
[His kiss is just so… gentle…]
James Grind finally recovered himself and raised a small knife from his sleeve. He wanted to stab Long Zhen on the neck. Long Zhen already knew the trick, and he held James Grind's wrist.
"I know the trick, Mister Assassin," Long Zhen said, with a smile on his face.
James Grind struggled even harder, but Long Zhen didn't seem to bother and kissed James Grind's lips again.
"Mmhh! R—Release me! I am your assassin! I'm here to kill you… mmf—" James Grind's struggle weakened as he got dominated again by Long Zhen's powerful desire. He accepted the kiss, and their tongues started prying on each other.
Long Zhen himself never felt this kind of hot feeling inside him. Whenever he kissed any of his actresses friends in his real life as celebrity Long Shen, or when he kissed many men or women in this mafia life as Long Zhen.
He never got the same feeling.
Maybe James Grind was the first one that could shake his heart like this.
"Yes, I know that you are my assassin," Long Zhen said in between their kisses, "So be it, be my personal assassin. Hunt me forever, only me forever," Long Zhen said.
Their lips tasted each other's again until the notification from Pupa rang for the second time.
[Pupa: Warning! Warning! The host is in the yellow line of getting out of character! Please be careful and maintain the character setting! This is the last warning before host will get ejected from the world!]
[Damn this!]
James Grind pushed Long Zhen as hard as he could to separate themselves. His breath was heavy, his hair had been dishevelled, and his face was red under the moonlight. He glared at Long Zhen.
"Long Zhen, you are my enemy! You have killed many people for your mafia business. You are simply an evil bastard!" James Grind cursed. "And there is no way that you can turn back from this deep pit. So I will kill you!"
Long Zhen knew that James Grind hated him. No matter the cycle, James Grind would always hated him. Although his heart was bitter, Long Zhen nodded and said, "It is fine if you don't like me, Mister Assassin."
"As long as you have me as your goal to assassinate forever, then I don't mind being hated by you," Long Zhen said.
'Because I'm happy when you are alive and full of spirit like this.'
"Damn it! I am threatening you! Stop with your romance trash! Do you think we are in a novel or something?!" James Grind knew that he didn't have a chance today, so he just walked away. "Just you wait, Long Zhen. I will kill you in the near future!"
James Grind used the lift and left the mansion.
Long Zhen stared at the railing and the moonlight. He looked down to the rocky cliff, the place where James Grind died before.
He had a thin smile on his face.
"That means I will have more time with you, James Grind…"
