Advertisement
There is a saying, that a person's actions toward the others will one day come back to bite them and now as he meets the slightly similar situation that Shao Cheng has done after waking up from his high fever in the past, is unable to react one bit.
Ren Yuan words of asking of who he just keeps rining on his mind repeatedly, which is causing Shao Cheng mind to be in a brink of snapping because the entire time, he has never forgotten the fact that Ren Yuan doesn't remember their previous life interaction.
Shao Cheng has just buried it deep inside his heart that was once more was dig out as his heart twist in pain and misery at the thought of being disremembered once more and causing Shao Cheng to become unbalanced as dark thought keeps flashing on his mind.
Right at this instant, in Shao Cheng's eyes, the world has become dull and gray, the bright color disappearing completely on his vision, finding himself unable to react about the feeling of loss that he is currently experiencing.
Being not trusted by Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng can accept it.
Unable to believe in him, Shao Cheng can also accept that.
Experiencing suffering and hardship at the account of becoming acquaintance with Ren Yuan in this new life, Shao Cheng can do that.
The only thing that Shao Cheng couldn't accept and doesn't allow to happen is the fact that Ren Yuan will not remember him once again, forgetting their few days of memories together.
After all, Shao Cheng is still trying to managed and accept the fact that Ren Yuan in previous life will never be the same as the Ren Yuan in this new life of his.
And why is this happening to him once again? Shao Cheng felt like destroying the world right now, feeling that there is no meaning in this new life of his.
Feeling the way that Shao Cheng is falling down and unable to intricate himself from the swirling dark thoughts and dangerous ideas on his mind, suddenly the reprimanding voice of Xing Ning has managed to reach Shao Cheng hearing which has caused him to instantly wake up from his dangerous state, after all, the purple energies inside of him has started leaking out.
"... Ren Yuan… don't bully the poor guy."
Xing Ning that was able to retain a steady composure after hearing the first words spoken by his friend after waking up has swiftly turned around to scrutinize him and instantly recognizing that Ren Yuan's bad habit and annoying personality have once again struck at this moment.
Which, isn't a great thing to do at all, especially when he couldn't help but glance at the young man figure that seemed to cause his heart to palpitate in anxiety at that instant.

"Ah, my bad! I am just trying to lighten up the mood since Whitey is extremely serious that his eyebrows are about to stick together in a straight line, and I couldn't help but use the first idea that comes into my mind, haha!"
What a bad joke, Xing Ning deeply thought before warily eyeing the silent Whitey and taking a step back to stand in a far distance, after all, he knew perfectly well how much the young man has suffered the past few days to take care of this despicable friend of his.
And Ren Yuan just thave to do that after waking up, which is basically asking for a disaster to happen, that Whitey isn't a kind and simple man at all… ah, Ren Yuan completely deserves the consequences of his actions, really to do such a ridiculous notion.
"Eh? Um?"
Ren Yuan that was smiling playfully couldn't help but let out a confusing sound while slowly glancing down at the silent Whitey that has his head lower down after finally sensing the weird atmosphere around him.
"Whitey?"
Shao Cheng that heard the words spoken by Xing Ning and has completely woken up from his dangerous and chaotic thoughts has slowly raised his head up when he heard Ren Yuan calling the name he was given to use.
Emotionless sapphire eyes met the widening peach blossom grey eyes that seemed to have finally discovered that he seemed to have done an extremely bad thing just now.
"Eh, Whitey? Are you angry? I was just lightening the mood..."
Suddenly Ren Yuan couldn't help but feel flustered and panicky when he saw those eyes that doesn't contain any single emotion within them as the young man silently gazing at him.
Calm down… speaking those words to himself, Shao Cheng watches in an indifferent manner at the completely perfectly well older man that has his memories intact.
Didn't Shao Cheng already knew and has experience Ren Yuan loathsome, irritating, and troublesome personality in the previous life that has caused many people to want to beat him to death? Which he was also the number one person among those groups of people?
Just now, it isn't something new at all, Ren Yuan doing crazy stunt and actions that cause him to get angry, furious and wanted to desperately kill him was what Shao Cheng has experience repeatedly in the previous life.
Really, this is fine, Shao Cheng can be the mature adult here between them and just disregarded it since this might happen again in the future, nothing to get angry at.
Taking a deep breath as he releases the piece of clothing that he has been using to wipe the man-body, ignoring the way that it drops down in the ground as he grips his hands to control himself.

Fuck that! A blue vein has suddenly appeared on Shao Cheng's forehead as cold fury rose within his heart as he swiftly and abruptly punches the man that was asking to be beaten to death, the gentle and kind treatment has instantly flown away.
"Argh!?"
With wide eyes, Ren Yuan grasp his stomach that was heartlessly and cruelly been punch by the young man while letting out a wheezing sound of pain.
"W-What the hell Whitey!"
However, before Ren Yuan can complain more about being punch on his stomach, a small body has suddenly rushed forward and had tightly grasped his messy crimson robe causing Ren Yuan to become stunned at the suddenly small body on his arms.
Having no idea about why is Whitey reacting this way toward him right now while Xing Ning has already turned around, not wanting to get mix at his annoying friend's current situation.
Shao Cheng that was gripping the crimson robes of Ren Yuan that his knuckle has turned completely white from the strength he was using has suddenly started bleeding out as the injuries he has on it has opened once more.
Taking a deep breath to calm down his chaotic emotion, Shao Cheng's shoulder couldn't help but tremble a bit in agitation that is running rampant within him.
"W-Whitey? A-Are you alright?"
Hearing the tiny bit panicky voice of the Ren Yuan on top of his head, Shao Cheng has finally slowly released the crimson robes on his hand while his head remain lower down the entire time.
Damn it, Ren Yaun your joke isn't funny at all…
Biting his lip, Shao Cheng couldn't stop himself as he quickly leaned back and hits the annoying man once more which resounded out with a loud pa causing the shocked, surprised and disbelief Ren Yuan to gently touch the cheek that has been slap with.
Staying silent for a moment, Ren Yuan peach blossom grey eyes started to become darker with a hard glint while feeling his anger starting to build up.
"You…"
Glancing at the older man that is getting angry, with freezingly cold eyes, Shao Cheng has decisively turned around and leaving the hidden deep cave without any hesitation since right now, Shao Cheng dislikes the chaotic emotion that he was unable to control right now while feeling a bit hard to breathe at the same space with the annoying man.
Once Shao Cheng gets furious either he erupts in a passionate manner or a bitingly cold in a silent manner, and right now, Shao Cheng only felt his heart chillingly cold.
"Hehe… this is unlike me…"
Standing at the snow-covered place with a lighter cold wind blowing by and less snow falling down, Shao Cheng released a deep feeble sigh, when it comes to that man, he will always lose his reason and is unable to control himself.
"I need to calm down…they probably think I am overreacting weirdly just now."
After all, Ren Yuan doesn't know that he has just touch a rather sensitive matter that has cause Shao Cheng to lost control of himself and seeing that he was unable to go back right now, Shao Cheng has taken a step toward a certain direction, which is the perfect place to release the violence inside of him that wanted to erupt any minute now.
"Didn't I tell you about lessening your mischievous side? At least, read the atmosphere and do it at the right time alright?
Ren Yuan, that was gingerly touching his pain cheek and stomach couldn't help but let out a frown at his friend's reprimand voice since isn't it too much to receive a punch on his stomach and slap his cheek for that joke right?
But when he remembers the way those small thin shoulders tremble a bit and that cold sapphire eyes that don't contain a single warmth on it, has caused Ren Yuan slump while mumbling in a helpless way.
"Ah… I was just really trying to cheer him up for a bit…"
After all, the young man probably couldn't see it but, there was that dispirited aura around him which has caused Ren Yuan to tease the young man in order to make him smile once more.
"Which isn't funny at all."
Seeing the quiet and confuse Ren Yuan, Xing Ning could only sigh knowing that his friend has remained unaware of the young man's complete dedication of taking care of him while he was sick and unconscious.
Soon, Xing Ning began to speak about what happened to Ren Yuan that become eerily silent, not missing any single details of what Whitey has just done, well aside from the mouth to mouth feeding that happened before though.
"Think more about your action just now."
"Urgh.."
Ren Yuan can only covered his face in frustration as his friend's words rang repeatedly on his mind, causing his heart to twist from an unexplained emotion before letting out a helpless sound.
"... I really have no idea…"
Then… what should he do? From what he can see, it felt like he just lost Whitey trust in him from what he just did.
"Damn it."

8 114Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
