Chapter 269: The Appearance Of A Wall And Shao Cheng Understanding.

"For now, go sleep. You really need to have a proper rest. I'll stay by your side until in the afternoon."

After being feed and having warm food in the stomach, Shao Cheng has finally felt drowsy with his eyes wanted to close even though he just woke up a moment ago, it completely showed how affected he was from the lethal poison.

"... afternoon?"

"Yes, only until the afternoon. Little Cheng, even though I want to stay longer, but I honestly need to personally solve the problem myself. So don't blame Brother Yuan alright? I really want to take care of my precious friend until everything is good but this time, I really can't easily throw the problem in Xing Ning's hand."

Ren Yuan can only let out a disappointed sigh while gently helping the sleepy young man lay down in the huge bed before picking up the silky blanket and covering him.

In Ren Yuan's eyes, the pale and weak young man has gotten thinner the last time he saw him, which has caused an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, after all, he finally manages to fatten the young man a bit.

He still remembers the first time they met with each other, about how thin and unhealthy the young man is, which was caused by his lack of barely eating a proper meal each day.

In which Ren Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes since the young man can absolutely cook delicious food, but it appeared he like feeding other people more rather than feeding himself.

Although, he couldn't help but silently glance down in the young man body when he remembers those pair of slender white legs when they stayed in a rocky hot spring, the thin waist that can definitely wrap his hand and the delicate white chest with the long wet black hairs sticking up on the beautiful neck.

Cough...! What the hell am I thinking about? Am I so into my other false antics of being a shameless person in the Capital that I'm couldn't help but become one for a moment?

No... it's not my fault... it's Little Cheng's fault for being a beauty! Yes... that is... who made Little Cheng unparalleled appearance conclusively defeating all the beauty I met in my entire life?

"When I'm done dealing with my problem, I can help out with yours."

After Shao Cheng remembered the event that occurred in the Ren Family in the previous life, he couldn't help but offer his own help with various plans already flashing on his mind, which was a bit trickier and needed to be weighed carefully.

Since the trouble from the Ren family is completely serious and important than the problem from his Little student and the Illusive Treacherous Killer.

However, Shao Cheng suddenly felt a gentle flicker on his forehead causing his consciousness to return back from the sudden deep thought, and finally noticing an exasperated Ren Yuan laying on his side, which is close to the edge of the bed and outside the silk blanket covering his body.

"Thinking of spilling blood again? Well, I understand though since I usually considered doing it most of the time. It's just too bad since my relatives are a bit tricky I can't just easily kill them off even though I'm dying to do it. Besides, let Brother Yuan handle it alright?"

Shao Cheng couldn't help but blink his eyes while meeting the man pair of dark grey pupils that emit obscure emotions, completely hiding the genuine emotions deep within it.

If Shao Cheng is well known for always having a gentle smile on his face in the previous life, then Ren Yuan is a person who hides his genuine emotions behind those playful and joking pair of grey eyes.

"Ok."

Shao Cheng has wisely chosen to give up and stopping further from interfering with Ren Yuan's dilemma, after all, he finally perceived the firm wall behind those bottomless peach blossom grey eyes.

Despite how the two of them have been getting closer and we're always dealing with some problems together, but this time, the matter regarding in Ren Yuan family is a bit hard to insert himself.

It was time to stop, Shao Cheng can't take another closer after comprehending the emotion behind those pair of eyes, it was the familiar feeling he has whenever there is someone who wanted to enter his comfort zone behind the usual gentle smile on his face.

Although Shao Cheng felt the prevention of 'don't get to close', which was also done in a considerate manner, but he doesn't feel any uncomfortable feeling after being refuse.

Rather he can accept it, after all, the two of them have hidden their genuine side far too long while in the matter of some private and important matters, he knows to be thoughtful and won't push too much just because of certain self-regard.

Although Shao Cheng has a certain problem with possessiveness and a bit of control in the people he cared, but he would never forget to respect their decision and right, completely forcing them to do what they don't want.

Besides, it's already a miracle that the two of them can show even a small amount of genuineness in their emotion and actions because they are the kind of people who can't wholeheartedly show their whole and genuine hearts.

Well, the new life is unsuitable for Shao Cheng's previous attitude of only showing half of the genuineness relating to his thoughts and heart.

Because of the promise and vow release in the previous life after turning into a spirit, Shao Cheng has already shown his true heart during the time that he told young Ren Yuan how important and special he is.

It was to the point that Shao Cheng can easily give his own life for him, and if given a drastic and important choice between everyone in the entire world, he would decisively choose Ren Yuan without hesitation.

It was a promise of a lifetime.

There is also the fact that it is Shao Cheng turned to slowly let the man open up toward him because, in the previous life, he was considerably sure that Ren Yuan has tried to reach out but failed.

So, this time, it is Shao Cheng's turn to work extremely hard while completely making sure that he will succeed instead of failing.

Failure isn't an option, furthermore, he doesn't deserve to have an easy way out in the new life because all of it will be his punishment and at the same a redemption.

"I'll sleep."

Shao Cheng has calmly changed the topic and obediently listening to Ren Yuan's advice of taking a rest, while at the same time, hiding the dark and heavy thought in his mind.

And when he saw the slightly wider smile on Ren Yuan's attractive face, he absolutely believed that his decision to stop before is wise and correct while their excellent interaction in the past month and weeks is already great.

There is no need to let their relationship becomes more complicated and complex since, at the moment, it wasn't completely needed.

"Ah... an obedient and docile Whitey is really lovely! I really want to play music for a lullaby but I don't have my instrument with me right now. How about I just hum?"

Shao Cheng couldn't help but slowly blink his eyes before nodding his head while suppressing the pleasant and delighted emotion in his heart.

Soon, Shao Cheng heard a soft and pleasant humming sound resounding near his ears, which as always can easily soothe and warm his tired soul.

And when he finally closes his eyes at the gentleness of the man laying close to his side, a slightly blurry memory of the previous life couldn't help but suddenly emerge in his mind.

It was a few years after he transmigrated and has become Shao Cheng, there was a festivity being celebrated in the Chang Capital.

And he has been accompanying a teenage Huang Ya in the busy and bustling street lighting the entire place.

There were countless glowing lanterns hanging all over the streets, stalls, and buildings, before the two of them has accidentally separated when the street has suddenly become a hectic place with countless people walking all around them.

And during the time that he was anxiously trying to find his supposedly younger sister, completely worrying about the mere thought that Huang Ya might accidentally face danger since the Capital isn't completely safe.

Kidnapping and killing can always happen, after all, the entire Capital is huge with countless people living within it, so it is bound to have dangerous and nasty people just watching in the dark, particularly when it is a busy day than normal with countless people around.

So after quickly walking around while frantically trying to see the figure of the young woman, suddenly, there was a burst of unexpected laughter a few floors of the building he was passing by before melodious and arrogant tune has resounded out and caused him to stop walking for a moment.

And while the music surprisingly sounds great to listen with, he couldn't really appreciate it because, in just a split second, a figure in crimson robes has suddenly jumped out from the open window of the third floor of the restaurant.

The man was laughing arrogantly while playing the flute in his hand once in a while with ease and at the same time, another person has also jumped out from the open window with a dagger ready in his hands.

The second person's furious expression alone has completely let everyone know that he has lost his mind, only wanting to kill the arrogant figure that continues to fearlessly make a provocated expression.

It was simply a circumstance of another fight in the Capital, which happened to be between the infamous rascal and unreasonable son of the Prime Minister while the other was a son of high-rank officials that was pushed into a frenzied state.

And it was during that time that Shao Cheng was unfortunate enough o have been implicated because the dagger that was swiftly swatted away from the arrogant man happened to shoot in his direction.

Which he thought wasn't really an accident after remembering it now.

Fortunately, he was already good in martial arts and was able to dodge being pierced by the dagger with the unfortunate thing happening was that the simple ribbon he has used to tie his hair up was cut off and miraculously leaving his hair intact.

Then the irritating Ren Yuan has the gall to let out a snort after glancing in his direction after almost injuring him and after squinting, another object was thrown in his way.

Which happened to be an exquisite crimson jade comb with a white ribbon tied on it.

Although, Shao Cheng didn't even have the time to think about anything after catching the object in his hand because he has quickly and easily become enraged  after hearing what that Ren Yuan has carelessly spoken out before disappearing in the distance with an angry and crazy man following behind his back.

"Hey, beauty~ This beautiful comb is yours! It's compensation for scaring you and also injuring your heart. I'm really considerate, right? I'll see you again! Bye beauty~"

It was a situation where Shao Cheng's opinion and view about Ren Yuan has once again lowered down.

And yet, after everything that happened, he couldn't help but contemplate if during that time, did the man has started liking him?

That those words and actions the man did weren't mean to humiliate him while trying to run away from the responsibility of almost harming him?

After all, the festival celebrated during that time was a bit similar to valentine's day in the modern world, and so, the significant action of receiving a comb can also be interpreted that the person who has given it was interested in him.

It's basically the same type of throwing a love token to another person, which usually a special kind of lantern, interlacing knot, accessories, sachet, jade pendant, and handkerchief.

And the comb he receives should also in the object of being a token of love, there is also the ribbon attach to it, after all, in ancient times the hair is extremely significant, only important and special people can touch it.

"... so... confusing... and... annoying..."

Shao Cheng couldn't help but murmur while half immense in the previous life memory and gradually blurring consciousness.

"..."

Why do I feel like those two words are for me?

Ren Yuan couldn't help but stare deeply at the young man whose breathing is becoming steady, showing that he was about to completely fall asleep and when there weren't other words being softly spoken, he can only let out a soft sigh while shaking his head.

And when the young man has completely fallen into a deep sleep, Ren Yuan has remained motionless while lying in bed, with his voice continue to make a soft humming sound.

Although in a second later, he couldn't help but slowly reach out to take a few strands of long hair in his slender fingers before gently playing upon it.

And at the same time, Ren Yuan's peach blossom grey eyes couldn't help but stare deeply upon the sleeping young, who has completely dropped his guard down, completely trusting and believing that he would never harm his life.

Shortly, Ren Yuan was completely oblivious to the slowly burning fire that has unconsciously appeared on his grey pupils the longer he stared at the sleeping young man in the bed before finally murmuring in a soft voice with surprisingly genuine trouble emotion upon it.

"....  yes... our situation... is really confusing..."
