NOVEL NEXT Chapter 308: Preparation And Being Reminded Of A Shameful Past
"That hurts… Whitey doesn't treat me special anymore…"
Shao Cheng inwardly rolled his eyes while gently fixing his long sleeves as he walked in the hall with a whining Ren Yuan following behind, who was gingerly touching his reddish earlobe. After being sexually harassed, Shao Cheng hadn't hesitated to twist the man's right ear.
Although Shao Cheng understood that he had failed to remain unaffected after perceiving the way his heart skipped a beat. However, what can he do other than accepting the fact that he couldn't stop the annoying and troublesome emotion he had to a certain someone from developing deeper?
I can only resign to this unbelievable development of liking someone…
So when Shao Cheng entered the man-made hot spring in his courtyard, he only glanced at the shameless Ren Yuan who too entered in without hesitation, especially when the man began to remove his robes, completely planning to take a bath along with him.
"..."
… Although I'm physically sixteen years old, this man should also feel a bit of alarm that he has to guard against me… doesn't this man know how alluring he can be, especially without clothes on?
Despite the complaint Shao Cheng has regarding the stripping Ren Yuan who obviously didn't know his dangerous growing feelings, his sapphire eyes couldn't help but land on the large open area in the man's firm chest.
Before lowering his gaze down, and tracing the good amount of abdominal muscle before turning to the beautiful mermaid lines. Shao Cheng hated to admit it, but there were a perfect amount of muscles in the man's body.
Especially the long legs and rather fair skin color despite being active outside… Cough!
Shao Cheng quickly turned his head away with a flash of panic in his sapphire eyes along with the fast beating of his heart. Fortunately, a certain person was completely oblivious that his body was being appreciated.
I suddenly found a man's body so attractive… this is quite dangerous…
Shao Cheng took a deep breath trying to calm his tight nerves, before slowly pulling down his upper robes to clearly check the numb left arm that was slowly being paralyzed.
Fortunately, he was able to easily change the focus of his attention and wasn't absolutely tempted enough to continue peeking at someone's body.
Control yourself… Control yourself… Control yourself…
Shao Cheng repeatedly reminded himself while gazing at the tainted-looking red color spreading in his left arm. Even though there wasn't any scent upon it, somehow, it felt like he was able to smell something disgusting in the aura.
"Mnm… it's really not moving… so, Whitey, what's wrong with your left arm?"
When he was entirely focusing upon how to decrease or stop the spread of the tainted red aura in his left arm, Ren Yuan suddenly appeared behind with his head slightly peeking over the shoulder while his slightly hot breath gently caressing the side of Shao Cheng's neck and earlobe.
"..."
I feel like I'm being teased…
Shao Cheng could only sigh at the thought that flashed in his mind, knowing fully well that it was the usual way Ren Yuan acted, and even if there was teasing added, he shouldn't start second-guessing the man's actions since there wasn't any deep meaning behind it.
"... It's caused by a mysterious power."
Shao Cheng swiftly grasped Ren Yuan's wrist that was about to touch the left arm that could only limp to his side.
"Don't touch."
Although Shao Cheng noticed the way the dark bloodied red aura in his left arm didn't affect anyone after being touch, but, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"... Did you take the cause of Renshu's illness?"
Standing behind the smaller young man, Ren Yuan's grey pupils slowly darkened while gazing at the paralyzed left arm of the young man without blinking his eyes. Especially after remembering the unusual situation that occurred in the Hundred Pavillion.
"No, Whitey won't do it."
You will never be kind to others so easily, especially to a mere stranger...
Ren Yuan answered his own question as soon as those words came out, after all, he still understood the young man's attitude toward other people. Although the young man had started to change, it didn't change the fact that the indifference and heartlessness the young man showed before was extremely profound.
Of course, I am special, so there is no reason to doubt the young man's sincerity towards me.
After Ren Yuan didn't forget to inwardly praise his special relationship with the young man, he finally received the answer he wanted to know.
"I'm just affected by it. Don't worry, I'm powerful, this won't last long."
"Of course, Whitey is powerful. Whitey is the best~"
Ren Yuan spoke in a sing-song voice while the darkness in his pair of grey pupils returned back to normal after noticing how the young man had taken a step forward before glancing in his direction with a cold expression.
Nevertheless, he was able to read the 'Speaking Nonsense Again' in the young man's indifferent face.
"Well, since we are going to the Temple tomorrow, I'll let some acquaintances of mine check your situation."
"...Ok…"
Despite the various questions and speculations that started to flash in Shao Cheng's mind after suddenly learning that Ren Yuan had even managed to reach his hands out to the people in the Famous Temple, he just remained quiet and started taking his robes off.
As for the state of being naked in front of Ren Yuan, honestly, after he was carefully cleaned up and washed in the hot spring in a rocky area during the ambush situation, he had long got used to showing his still chicken-like body.
Besides, compared to the man's attractive body with perfect muscle lines, there wasn't anything for him to show off.
"Hey Whitey, do you want Brother Yuan to help you take your clothes off?"
"... No."
Shao Cheng coldly glanced at the grinning Ren Yuan who shamelessly swayed his naked body with an eyebrow raised, along with the look of 'See, I'm Already Naked'.
Fortunately, there was a white cloth wrapped around the man's waist, or else, the little Ren Yuan shaking as it followed the man's movement would have blinded Shao Cheng's eyes.
… Continue to show off… I'll show you what a good body shape really is in the future….
"Aww, don't be shy~ It's not like this is the first time I am going to see your naked body! Besides, I have already seen and touched it a long time ago~ Did you forget? I carefully wash every nook and cranny of your body~"
"..."
Fuck… that is the shame of my life…
"I want Brother Yuan to dress as my maidservant tomorrow."
"..."
Oops… I seemed to have crossed the line again…
Well, it's interesting watching a different side of Whitey rather than the usual indifferent and cold face~
After an interesting bathtime in the hot spring, especially trying to ignore the shameless teasing of a certain someone who was asking to be beaten to death, Shao Cheng decided to wrap his left arm with a white bandage so that no one would accidentally touch his skin that was being affected by the dark bloodied aura.
At the same time, hooking a piece of cloth around his neck as he displayed the appearance of having his left arm broken.
Of course, Shao Cheng didn't forget to use the suddenly injured appearance to further mislead and deceive everyone about the fact that he wasn't a powerful person and was easy to bully. Of course, because of the influential family backing him up, few people would really dare to bully him.
Although, there are always foolish and daring people out there so it's better not to underestimate someone.
"... Whitey is so bad… Well, I like it!"
Back in the study room after the hot spring, Ren Yuan eyed the suddenly fragile young man with an interesting expression on his face before continuing to write a letter to inform Xing Ning about his plans of going out tomorrow.
However, the playful grin on Ren Yuan's face completely froze when the Little Devil, whom Whitey has mentioned, appeared in the study room, holding a familiar set of clothes in his hands.
"... What is this…"
Although he already knew what it was, he still wanted to hear the answer to his question.
"Your clothes tomorrow."
Shao Cheng answered with a cold expression on his face while inwardly, a smirk had slowly formed on his lip, especially after gazing at Ren Yuan's difficult expression.
I'm not the only one that will remember a list of black history in the future… Since we are special friends, we have to share a shameless past too.
