Chapter 277 - Set up
Jai cleared his throat, still burning from Yunfeng’s last words. "Sooo... what is the plan?" he asked, trying to sound casual as he looked around at the others.
Yunfeng folded his arms and leaned back slightly, the room quieting around his composed presence. "This is the plan. We’ll set up a safe house and make sure that Shao is properly quarantined inside."
Before he could even finish, Jai’s face lit up in excitement. "Perfect! We’ll have Qiu Yue move out of his room and make Shao live there alone. It’s got thick walls and soundproofing. He won’t bother anyone and we can keep an eye on him easily!"
But Yunfeng didn’t mirror his enthusiasm. Instead, he gave Jai a long, even stare. "That won’t work."
Jai blinked. "Why not?"
Yunfeng’s voice was calm but firm. "He has to stay as far away from you as possible. So we have to move him to a residence nearby, but not one where your scent is still fresh."
Jai frowned, clearly displeased. "Why? That seems dumb. I’m right here. Wouldn’t it be easier if I was close in case anything happens?"
"No," Yunfeng said flatly.
Muchen, standing silently near the window, gave a soft sigh, but didn’t speak.
Jai folded his arms, narrowing his eyes. "Why not? Give me one good reason."
Yunfeng rubbed the bridge of his nose and said tiredly, "Because you have a pheromone that is basically whispering ’I’m naked and I’m ready to mate.’"
