Instinct

-Yunlan-

The next morning, the first one to wake up from the blissful sleep was Zhao Yunlan. He watched Shen Wei sleep for a few minutes, before his lover moved and moan in pain, waking up. Zhao removed a lock of his silky dark hair, so to have a better view of his lover face.

"Yunlan..." Shen Wei smiled at him.

"Xiao Wei... were you in pain just now?" The lovely professor shock his head in negative.

"I'm fine... what about you? Did you sleep well after my nightmare?" Shen asked, caressing his messed hair, then sliding his soft fingers down his check until reaching his lips, sending shivers down Zhao's spine.

"I did... damn you are too hot even after just waking up..." Zhao took his lips and kiss him. Shen Wei was too much of a temptation to resist for long and now that he have it with him at home, it was going to be even harder to keep himself in control, so not to hurt him.

"Yunlan..." Shen murmur, still unable to break the kiss, allowing himself to deepen it, giving Zhao a full access to his mouth to explore as he wished, but Yunlan was hungry for more, so after he was done with his mouth he moved down his throat, tasting it while kissing his porcelain skin, leaving some small red traces as he bite a bit, while Shen moaned, holding Zhao's hair.

Lost in his passion and hot kisses up and down, Zhao forgot Shen Wei was still not fully heal. Thus as he pull Wei over him, to gain more access to his chest and down, the professor yelped in unmistakable pain, as Yunlan's hand was inches away from his wound, which was now slightly bleeding.

"Oh, I'm sorry Shen Wei..." Yunlan whisper with guilt, as Shen removed himself from over Yunlan.

"Don't worry... it was bound to happen..." Shen said, trying to disguise his pain.

"Let me see..."

"I'm fine Yunlan."

"I know you better than you give me credit, turn around and let me see." With a sigh, he turned to lay over his stomach, as Yunlan rose his dark gray t-shirt up, to see the bandage, which was tinted with fresh blood.

"I'm so sorry babe... I..."

"Yunlan, it's fine. It's not like you did it on purpose and to be honest, I was wishing for you pretty much as you wanted me."

"Alright... I will change the bandage, then take you back to the hospital, for the nurse to check it, just in case..."

"Oh, no... no more hospitals Zhao Yunlan..." Shen said as he blushed intensely. He was sure they had become the talk of the entire hospital and if he showed up there with a bleeding, they will be even more rumors. Seen him so flustered Zhao laughed at his cuteness.

"It will be a very discreet visit, no one will notice..." Zhao help him sit.

"Yeah right, who are you kidding with? If it nothing serious, no hospitals, okay?" Shen insisted.

"You are too shy for your own good babe..." Zhao said, then he took out the new bandages and antibiotics and have a look at the stitches. Although there was a bit of bleeding, they were all in place and looked good, without a sign of infection, so he carefully clean the wound, making sure there was no more bleeding and put back the new bandages.

"Okay, no hospital trip... now, get up... you are going to the office with me today." Zhao said as he help him out the bed.

"Good, I need to focus back to work, because honestly, you are too much of a temptation at home." Shen Wei whisper to himself, as he took a shower before Yunlan, rejecting all his offers to help him bathe. He honestly missed his formal clothes, which were all still in his room, back in the teacher's dorm, because all Yunlan's less formal clothes, have a scent of him, of his very appealing and distracting perfume.

As his lover took a shower on his own, he went to the kitchen and prepare some breakfast for the both of them and as he was serving them in a plate over the kitchen island, he felt his heart raze for a second, as he experience goosebumps. He looked at the glass window curtain, which was still close after last night show and frowned. This was not the first time he felt like he was been watched, because he had experience a lot of unnatural things since kid, but as there was a serial killer, possibly trying to hunt him down, he took the feeling of danger more seriously.

He took out his cell phone, ready to mark Da Qing's number, who was supposed to be watching the house outside, along with Old Chu, however, as he was going to press the speed dial number three, his phone rang, scaring the hell out of him, making him almost drop the thing.

"Shen Wei?" Zhao asked as he saw him jump, when the phone ringed and instinctively he took it from his hand, fearing it was a threatening call, but he sighed at the name of Wang Zheng shining in the screen.

"It's your lovely assistant..." He said, returning it to Wei, who fight to hold a sigh of relief and answer. Still, he put her on speaker, so Zhao will hear the conversation.

"Hello." He answer.

"Ah, professor Shen... it's so good to hear you, finally. I have been trying to contact you for three days, but Zhao Yunlan said, you are not allow to take calls for the moment. I have been so worry. None of the staff had been able to have any news of your condition, they said is for security matters and..."

"Don't worry Wang, I'm doing better now. Thank the staff for me, I appreciate it their concern." Shen said, as he filled Zhao's plate with more sausage, potato, green pepper and egg scramble, which was the only thing Yunlan had on his fridge for breakfast.

"And the students too. You had no idea of how many letters and get well presents you had in your office. It's taking quite a lot of space, so I put then in boxes, so you can read then when you are out of the hospital..."

"Actually, I will sent Guo Changcheng to pick them up. You don't mind right? He can distract himself reading letters from loving girls wishing him well..." Shen arched an eyebrow at Yunlan's suggestion. He was sure, he feared there was something threatening there, perhaps if lucky, they could find a clue or a bit of evidence.

"Is that you, Zhao Yunlan? Don't tell me you are bothering the professor this early in the morning, he needs to rest." Wang scold him and he smiled.

"Ah, dear Wang, you know me well, but I assure you, he rested well last night..." Shen face was on fire, remembering all the kisses and falling asleep on his arms.

"I hope so... so when can I visit you? I don't even know to which hospital you were taken, nor the room."

"Security matters Wang, sorry, no visitors for the moment. He was stabbed, so we have him restricted..."

"Oh, this case had shook our university so much... a student killed in a lab room and our favorite professor stabbed... just in which direction this society is heading with this horrible cases?"

"Not to a safe one, I assure you..."

"Yunlan..."

"Well, it's true... Ah, Wang... since Guo will be there in a few hours, can you also pack clothes for Shen Wei? You know, hospitals gowns are not his style." Oh, he was so relieved to hear that.

"I can, but his formal clothes will be on the way for the medical checks..."

"Actually no, please Wang, do me the favor and put them in the suitcase I have under my bed, as much clothes as you can." Shen added.

"So you will be staying for long in the hospital? Seriously, when I can visit you?"

"Soon Wang, I will sent someone to pick you up once he is fully recover." Zhao assured her.

"Alright, but you... Chief Zhao, don't tease the professor too much and I hope you behave yourself and don't go asking him to move in your house 'for security matters', that will be taking advantage of his kind nature." Zhao laughed.

"She does know you well..." Shen whisper, smiling too.

"Damn, you got me hard..." Zhao admitted.

"So you did?"

"I suggested it..."

"Oh please professor, tell me you say no..." Zhao winked at him. Obviously Yunlan didn't want any kind of accurate information to leak out of their circle, so he get along with his plan.

"I'm considering now, but I think I will refuse..."

"Yes, refuse... otherwise he will tied you up and never let you out!" Shen laughed, despite the pain it caused.

"Hey! That's not true..."

"Of course it is... Oh, I have to go, there is a class starting soon."

"Please Wang, take care... there is a killer out there, hunting women. Always stay surrounded by people and never leave home at night." Shen advised, he was very fond of her and her husband.

"Thank you... we all are taking precautions. I will try to call you later."

"Don't hesitate to contact either me or Yunlan if something else happen..." Shen added.

"I will, don't worry. See you soon..." Then she hang up.

"Well, she will be fine..." Zhao said, while munching his breakfast.

"I hope so. About the boxes..."

"I will make the guys have a look at the content. I don't want to leave anything unchecked. Who knows, it can give us a lead. After this, take your pain killers and we leave to the office."

"Alright... I really want to look at the victim's files..."

"I hope you can find something we may had overlook. The sooner we got this bastard, the happier I will be."

"We will catch him, don't worry. I'm sure of it..." After they finish their breakfast, they went on their way in Yunlan's monstrous red Hummer. Shen Wei closed his eyes for a moment. Then, after a few minutes, he felt that danger instinct he experience back in the house.

He tensed as he open his eyes, they were getting closer to the SID office. They were many cars around in the streets, so he could not pinpoint to a particular one, looking at the rear-view mirror.

"Shen Wei? You got that expression again, are you alight?" Zhao asked a bit concerned.

"I have the feeling someone is following us..." Zhao looked at the mirror too.

"Chu is following us..." Zhao said.

"It's not the team... although I cannot be sure it's human either."

"You mean a ghost?"

"Not sure... call it instinct." Zhao took his hand on his free one and slightly kiss it.

"Nothing will happen to you again, I promise you that." Zhao said.

"I know, just don't get in danger for my sake either. It will shock me to the core..." Zhao looked at him and seen him so serious, yet with a loving expression on his face, he wanted to kiss him right there.

"Damn, marry me... I can't possible love you more." Shen Wei smiled.

"We can't, the law forbid it." He said, gently squeezing his hand.

"We can still make a personal vow... you know, the thing the couples said in the altar... we can promise to love each other for an eternity, stay together until we get old and senile, stay together through good and bad moments... you know, the usual married stuff... without the damn paper." Shen blushed pleased, yet this time he kissed Yunlan's hand.

"You know I will promise you the world..." Zhao smiled.

"Then... once we catch this killer, let's make our vows.... We can have a romantic dinner at home, exchange rings and make our beautiful vows... then we have very steamy, hot sex..." Shen Wei coughed and blush even hotter, as Zhao laughed in pure bliss.

"Deal..." Shen Wei whisper, unable to refuse such proposal. He will take care of that wonderful man as well, because if something were to happen to him, it will be too devastating to recover from and no killer, will rob him of that chance of happiness he had embraced wholeheartedly. Stalker or ghost, he will not be taken by surprise a second time.
