When the Wild Beast is Trapped in the Nightmare Cycle (BL)

Chapter 27: Brotherly Bond

"Wait—" It was too late by the time he blurted out that word for Jin Jiuchi was already grabbing his shirt by the back and smoothly dragged it over his head.

In a blink of an eye, there was so much honey bronze skin, smooth and well-defined muscles that Nian was getting bedazzled. He could feel himself gawking as he ran his gaze over the sharp dip of Jin Jiuchi's collarbones, the wide breadth of his shoulders, his brown and pebbled nipples, the solid and sinewy chest muscles that narrowed down into tapered waist, until it eventually landed on the sexy mermaid lines and a happy trail that led to the dangerous territory beneath.

Just as Nian thought that the situation couldn't get worse, Jin Jiuchi quickly took off his trousers along with the boxer briefs.

And there he stood, in all his naked glory and mouth-watering figure.

'As expected, it is really... huge...' Nian thought as his heated gaze zeroed in on the area between Jin Jiuchi's thighs. 'No, it's beyond huge. C–Can a human really have such a size? He must not be a human. Yes, that must be it!'

"Wait?" Jin Jiuchi tilted his head to the side, utterly oblivious to the fact that he was being ogled at. "Did you tell me to wait, Nian'er?"

Nian snapped back to his senses and hastily dragged his eyes back to Jin Jiuchi's face. However, the image of that monstrous cock was already imprinted behind his eyelids as clear as daylight, and when he looked at Jin Jiuchi's aggressively gorgeous features, only one thing came to mind – only such a perfect body could suit this man.

Nian was thankful for the sound of Tang Ye's shower that masked the echo of his loud heartbeat. He could also easily attribute the flush on his face to the increasing humidity in the room. With an expression as flat as the asphalt, he tilted his head toward the zipper bag in his hands. "Put your clothes inside."

"Oh, oh!" Jin Jiuchi balled his clothes haphazardly before stuffing it into the bag. Nian could not even berate him for it because of how close their position was right now, so close that Jin Jiuchi's monster of a cock was right in front of— no! Nian shook his head like a rattle drum. For God's sake, stop leering at him like you have never seen another man's body before! Have you gotten too close to him and been infected by the perverted virus?!

But he had to admit, out of the naked bodies he had seen, Jin Jiuchi's was the most alluring and beautiful...

Clenching his teeth tight, Nian sealed the zipper bag and with a wave of his hand, it disappeared into thin air.

Jin Jiuchi's eyes flew wide and he took one step closer, looking back and forth in shock and wonder. "Where has it gone?! How did you do it, Nian'er?!"

Instead of answering him, Nian bent down and grabbed two bottles from his basin. "Give me both of your hands, palms up." When Jin Jiuchi complied with a puzzled look, Nian proceeded to pump two blobs of liquid soap into each of his hands. "The right one is body wash, the left one is shampoo. Bye." After saying that, he tugged on the plastic curtain to close around him, shielding him from the massive six feet tall eye candy that was Jin Jiuchi.

He ignored Jin Jiuchi's mournful cries about how cold and heartless he was and how brothers should shower together to strengthen their brotherly bond...

To hell with his brotherly bond! Sneering, Nian took off his trousers and underwear, folded them and kept them in his zipper bag before turning on the shower, allowing the noisy rattle of water thrumming against the cemented floor to drown Jin Jiuchi's voice away.

As the cold water rained down on him, Nian breathed out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he was in the body of a child now. Or else, he had no idea what would happen if he had to room together with such a fine (albeit a little not right on the head) specimen for the next few days...

...

Jin Jiuchi stared at the plastic curtain in front of him and sulked. Though hazy, he could see Nian moving to smear soap on his body, causing the sweet scent of rose and milk to linger in the air. His hand itched to brush the curtain away and slipped under the shower together with Nian – because what kind of brothers were they if they did not take a shower together?!

Alas, before he could even act on it, Nian's voice sounded through the running water, threatening. "Don't you dare come here or else I will cut off that thing between your legs!"

Gasping, Jin Jiuchi reflexively covered his crotch by crossing his legs, feeling chills run down his spine just by the mere thought of it. "Cruel!" He cried out, aggrieved. "Nian'er, how can you be so cruel to me?!"

Of course, Nian gave no answer to that.

Feeling wronged, Jin Jiuchi could only focus on his own shower lest Nian would finish first and leave him behind. He looked at the two blobs of soap in his hands and blinked in confusion. Which one was the shampoo and which one was the body wash again? Jin Jiuchi's mind drew an abrupt blank. Shrugging, he turned on the shower and roughly rubbed both hands all over his hair and body, letting the two kinds of soap mix into one.

Hmm, it smells so good! No wonder Nian'er always exuded a nice and sweet fragrance, so it was from the soap!

Jin Jiuchi played with the bubbles while relishing in the fact that he was also starting to smell good like the jade doll. Behind him, the sound of running water stopped and Tang Ye called out, "Brother Yang, Little Brother, I'm done! I will wait for you two outside, okay?!"

"Okay!" Jin Jiuchi replied with his eyes closed and head tilted up, enjoying the prickles of water that fell on his face. When he heard nothing from the next stall, he raised his voice and asked, "Nian'er, will you be done soon?! Wait for me, okay? I will finish real quick!"

No one answered him.

All of a sudden, Jin Jiuchi's scalp turned numb and the hair on his body stood up on its end. He fumbled to turn off the shower and as soon as he did, the entire room turned deadly silent. There were no sounds from the next stall, no splashing water, no signs of movement – nothing. In fact, he could not even detect Nian's presence anymore.

"Nian'er...?" His voice echoed all around and bounced back to him again as if hundreds of Jin Jiuchis were talking at the same time.

For one long moment, Jin Jiuchi stood there naked and dripping wet, dazed, as he wondered if he had called out too late and Nian had gone out without telling him. But how could that be possible? He would have known for sure if Nian went out because the jade doll would need to walk past him in order to reach the door. But like this, it was more like... Nian had vanished into thin air...

Or... was it him?

Jin Jiuchi reached out a hand intending to brush the plastic curtain away, but in that exact moment, he felt his throat spasm as something crawled up...
