Chapter 26: Ren Yuan... It Hurts, What Is This Strange Feeling? Still, I Don't Regret It.
As Shao Cheng express a surprise expression, when that instant kill move of Ren Yuan was about to touch him, a thought has suddenly flashed on Shao Cheng mind and soon, at the exact time that Ren Yuan tried to move the position of his attack into a less dangerous place, Shao Cheng has unconsciously moved away in great surprise which has hindered Ren Yuan that has tried to save the young man life from his instant kill attack in great alarm and panic which has became useless in the end, because a warmblood was suddenly splash into his shocked exquisite face.
Peach blossom grey eyes watch in great horror as sapphire eyes which are filled with confusion and pain slowly lower down to stare the delicate hands that were struck over to his chest, which is dangerously close to where the young man heart is that could have taken his life away so easily, the white robe clothes in the young man chest blooming in crimson color.
And at the current view, Ren Yuan's blood cover hand couldn't help but shake a bit at the mortifying actions he just unconsciously done.
"B-Big B-Brother… Yu..- Cough!"
As Shao Cheng painfully speak, one of his hand raised over toward his bloodstained lip while the other hand went over to grasp the severely injured chest of his, while coughing up one in a while in a feeble way since it has suddenly made it feel so hard to breathe even though he didn't injure his lungs at all.
"Ah… I… W-whitey… I… didn't..."
Suddenly, Ren Yuan peach blossom grey eyes widen in great panic and alarm of what he just did toward the young man in a white robe, the gaze that has been staring at the injuries he just causes was unable to move away of the unsightly scene while somehow unknowingly making his heart twist in some pain as he felt utter shame and guilt of his own action.
Ren Yuan didn't intend to take that action, he was just in high alert the whole entire time for any unexpected danger…that when the young man has suddenly appeared that he was unable to stop his move at all.
However, Ren Yuan knew that he was also unable to utter any excuses because what happened just now in the end all came down from his lack of trust toward the young man and that was something he is absolutely feeling guilty about at the moment.
As Ren Yuan in his deep thought, Shao Cheng just remained silent the entire time as he deeply gazes at the panic, guilty and confuse Ren Yuan before him.
What is this… although it was his plan the entire time, yet it incredibly feels so painful at the moment, even though he has suffered more a horrible pain in his previous life, but why is it so unusual peculiar?
Hahaha… Shao Cheng really doesn't have this person's trust…none at all, but in the end so what of it? Even if it makes Shao Cheng feel strangely uncomfortable to the point that all he wanted at the moment is to get away from this Ren Yuan for a bit.
For the first time, Shao Cheng wanted to hide and run away, since everything he felt and known about seemed to have become complex, strange and different from the way he usually performs, he was a bit afraid to continue on.
However this should be the normal form about their attitude toward each other in the first place, which was what they have been doing in the previous life but since Shao Cheng has already decided to follow him this time around, everything needs to change, even if he were to do a drastic move while being harsh to himself to get close to this person.
Chuckling a bit, Shao Cheng didn't know that he seemed to tend to be a bit of a masochist, which has swiftly cause him to inwardly shake his head from that dangerous thought right now, because, please... he doesn't want to wake up something in another different world.
"Hahaha! Ren Yuan, you are always like that! Unable to completely trust anybody so easily! Even if everyone seemed to be close to you in appearance but in the end, your heart is always close off right?"
Peng Pao has suddenly laughed in a distorted manner, as he felt blissful as he stares at the injured young man in a white robe from Ren Yuan attack after finally barely managing to treat his cut off-hand and stop the constant blood flow.
Even though it doesn't make sense a bit, but hese two people attacking and injuring each other make him extremely happy!
"Do you see? I don't know how and why you can appear here right now, but why go to the trouble in saving someone that doesn't even trust you at all while almost taking your life? Go away, leave and run, and I will give you a chance to try to escape from here. After all, you shouldn't be mixing in our matter in the first place since you are just an unfortunate stranger that was tangle over to our problem. How about that?"
Shao Cheng, that has turned a bit to listen at the misguiding and evil monologue of the Paw? Pong? Ping? He doesn't truly remember his name, has instantly turned around and ignored him, before finally speaking at the silent Ren Yuan that was overwhelmed with guilt and shame, by the way, that exquisite face of his look so sullen and cheerless.
Suddenly, Shao Cheng felt that Ren Yuan having that expression on his face doesn't suit him at all, he rather prefers him to be always grinning, smirking, smiling, being playful and acting willfully.
Shao Cheng doesn't even mind now if Ren Yuan remained irritating and annoying for the rest of his life despite the headache he might experience.
… alright… I'll use less severe action and move next time… if I can though… no promises.
"Hey… Big Brother Yu Yu... I have been looking after you for a while now."
Suddenly Ren Yuan who was in a deep thought has finally gotten his attention back as he stares with wide peach blossom grey eyes at the usually expressionless, cold, blank and rude young man which he has been interacting with from the past few days, in the first time ever, has finally shown an extremely gentle and bright smile on his beautiful face that is currently pale from pain and bloodloss.
"... Come on… just as you have saved mine, I, Whitey, will definitely save your life this time."
I don't regret it… I don't feel bad and guilty at all… in order to become closer to you and get your trust as fast as I can… Ren Yuan… I can do anything…
You just have to bear the consequences for asking a wicked bastard to follow you, previous life or not, you are the one who asked for it, so you better take responsibility.
So with those thoughts running on his mind, Shao Cheng took a deep breath and has instantly carried the confused and startle Ren Yuan into his arms in a princess form before running away as fast as he can despite the pain he was feeling from the 'surprising' injury.
Because there is no way that Shao Cheng will heroically (Stupidly) confront that traitor friend of Ren Yuan along with the group of men behind him.
Besides, he is greatly injured right now, but yet, even if he was in full strength, Shao Cheng will probably choose to run away.
"Stop right there!"
"Hey, you sure are stupid to even ask me to stop? Are you crazy?"
With one last insulting words to that traitorous bastard, Shao Cheng figure has entirely disappeared and before all of them can follow, a wolves howl has suddenly resounded out before a scream of panic and confusion has soon followed after.
