With dumbfounded eyes, everyone watched as the young man started vomiting nonstop while the other man that was just a few distances away from him was completely frozen and unresponsive from what is happening.

Ren Yuan was unable to figure out why Whitey was reacting this way, he understands if the young man has become mad from his actions but not this kind of reaction.

Especially when he remembers the way that he was rejected for the first time by Whitey which has caused his heart to twist with such an uncomfortable feeling.

"Oh… that's… not good…"

Xixi that has wanted to see what the young man was up to while wanting to deal with her cousin Shao Yan so that he will not make the entire situation become complicated.

She doesn't have really any idea that the young man in the distance was her other cousin, which was absolutely unbelievable when she still remembers those terrifying deadly and skillful assaults that he just performs.

After all, that is her cousin who hated any kind of violence, so watching him perform a fight, and so skillful at that? It didn't even cross her mind that Shao Cheng was so capable in combat, it might be the reason why her father always sigh in regret every time her cousin was mention along with the Shao family legacy?

Besides, Xixi would have never allowed Ren Yuan to do what he has just done since she genuinely fears the reaction that will lead to it if her cousin figures out that he was hurting the person that he cared about.

And now, see, her cousin is puking his heart out with just how much he must have been greatly affected by injuring the man who opens his heart once more.

That young man is completely clueless about how special he is to her cousin, Xixi wasn't lying when she spoke how extraordinary he is to Shao Cheng, she just hopes that everything will turn out alright but when she glanced at her other cousin expression.

Um… Xixi was glad that she followed the young man in this place, worrying about his safety since he was the cause and reason of Shao Cheng changing himself to be better, so she can't just let something bad happen to Ren Yuan now right?

As for her runaway cousin… well, she figures out that he can handle himself for a while especially when the man already got people looking out for him, she was just surprised that he was here of all places after learning that her cousin Shao Yan was in great danger.

Maybe this is some kind of fate? Is her cousin unable to run away from the tempting young man? Hm… but for now though, there is no way that she will allow the two beautiful young men to suddenly break up when they didn't even get to be together yet.

"Cheng!"

Shaking her head, Xixi followed the panic, flustered, and worried Shao Yan while secretly snickering about how this brother slaves react whenever it was related to Shao Cheng but then when she remembers how her cousin Cheng and Yuan react with each other from before.

She definitely has to watch over Shao Yan so that he won't come between the two beautiful young men.

And Ren Yuan that was finally able to snap out from his dumbfounded status has once more tried to touch the young man seemingly fragile back only to stop a few distances away when he saw the way that Whitey body has tense over once more.

"Cheng…"

"Don't… cough… touch me…urgh..."

Despite flooding in the never-ending dark thought swirling on his mind and chaotic feelings, Shao Cheng still retains his sane mind on his surroundings because, in this kind of situation, he couldn't just remove all of his guards down.

But as the vile raise up into his throat that causes a very painful and unpleasant burn upon it while tasting the tangy bitter taste on his mouth and tongue, Shao Cheng couldn't help but wonder why he is reacting this way.

Although he was extremely shocked and surprised by learning that the man was Ren Yuan but he shouldn't be feeling this distress and trouble over doing such a matter, after all, hurting and wanting to kill Ren Yuan isn't something new to him.

So… why is he being overwhelmed right now? Is it because they are no longer enemies?

Finally stopping his retching Shao Cheng's body has straightened up while using his sleeves to wipe his stain lip while inwardly grimacing and feeling his pride was hurt by showing such a pathetic and vulnerable side to the people around him, especially to Ren Yuan of all people.

While inwardly discerning that Shao Yan and Xixi have appeared close by and Shao Cheng turned around to start saving the damn man good first impression to his older brother no matter how much he is being drowned by remorse, guilt, distress and whatever were causing his mental health from breaking down.

However before he can open his mouth, Shao Cheng met the deep and serious grey eyes of Ren Yuan prompting him to become stunned on the swirling unknown emotion that it carried within it which Shao Cheng wasn't able to figure out what it was all about.

And before he can even move, Ren Yuan arms have swiftly wrapped around his body and taking him away.

Shao Cheng was completely frozen about what is currently happening that he just let himself be carried away by Ren Yuan, completely forgetting that this wouldn't be a good impression on his older brother's eyes.

"Tell Yu Qin that I have arrived. I'll be back soon with him when I am done."

Shao Yan who was far too late to move from overwhelming shock can only helplessly watched as his younger brother was taken away by a strange man.

What the hell?

"W-What? Hey! Where are you tak-! Sis Xixi? What are you doing stopping me? Cheng being taken away by that strange man!"

"Leave the two lovebirds alone~ They just met again in a long time, I'm sure they miss each other dearly."

"L-Lovebbbbirrddd? You mean they are t-together???"

A few silent few seconds before a rather loud thud echoed out in the silent forest.

And Xixi just blinks her eyes innocently, before gazing down at the completely unconscious Shao Yan that seemed to have been hit too hard by the reality of what she just spoke, although the two beautiful young men aren't together yet, but they just need time.

Soon, the two young men couldn't wait to desperately eat each other out and as far as her cousin Yan's reaction...

"Huh…. I didn't see that one coming."

With a shake of her head, Xixi turned her attention at the completely clueless and awkward other men that were the only conscious, seemingly unable to decide on what to do, so raising her finger to signal him to come closer with a wide dangerous smile on her face.

"Come, take us to your hideout. We receive Yu Qin's letter asking for help."

And in another place, Ren Yuan that has just taken the young man away was running quickly while his eyes sharply looking around the place for any sign of danger while the tight grip he has on the young man has never once lessened.

"You…let go and put me down."

Feeling the way the young man has started struggling on his arms, Ren Yuan just let out a tired sigh before using one of his hand to reach over and pinch the smooth cheek of the person on his arms with a few frustrated movements causing Shao Cheng to stilled in surprise once more.

"Whitey, you didn't listen to me and run away once again, so I will not listen to you this time. Just be a good boy and let's talk in a safe place to deal with whatever happened before alright?"

Hearing the stubborn sound on Ren Yuan's voice, Shao Cheng turns quiet before finally sighing in acceptance, besides, rather than shutting off once more because of what happened while his mental health presumably going to descend on another breakdown status.

It is best to speak more about what happened rather than turning silent about the whole situation, so with that, Shao Cheng has guide Ren Yuan to where their hideout is and going to the tiny river that he has been operating in the past two days after he woke up from the effect of the lethal poison.

And a few minutes later, Shao Cheng who was already let down is facing the other man in silent, dull sapphire eyes meeting burning peach blossom grey eyes that shone with certain stubbornness and insistence within it.

It might have been seconds, minutes or an hour has passed by as the two of them remain silent while being obstinate to the fact that they are just waiting for the other person to speak first, even if the bright blue sky started to change into an orange glow.

Shao Cheng recognizing how stubborn the man could get has finally taken a deep breath knowing that he needed to be the one to make the first move between the two of them and as his eyes took a glimpse of the injured hand that already stopped bleeding, his heart has once more twist in pain.

Calmly taking a step closer to the other man who remains silent, although knowing that Ren Yuan was secretly observing every action he made, Shao Cheng has reached over to gently lift the injured hand with the palm facing over before his slender finger softly caressing over the cuts upon it.

And as the second pass by, Shao Cheng eyes flash with unknown emotion while the next move he made was something that he did unconscious and has just followed what his instinct has wanted for him to do.

So without any hesitation and completely oblivious of how his unnatural actions was going to appear in other people's eyes if they have people watching them, Shao Cheng pulled the man into his arms with so much strength that he stumbles backward and hitting the tree trunk with his back.

While Ren Yuan just let out a surprised gasp since he finally has gotten out from the hypnotizing gentle action of the young man, although he couldn't help but follow along and letting his entire body to be wrapped up in the younger man's arms.

And when they slide down, with their bodies intimately against each other Ren Yuan eyes wide open once more while unable to genuinely react properly about what he should do, because he absolutely remains clueless and awkward when it's all about the person before him.

And the entire time that his injured hand that has been cradled gently by the young man felt the sudden cold soft brush on his palm causing Ren Yuan eyes to snaped upon it.

Only to freeze over while feeling his entire face completely warming up when he figured out that Cheng has just kissed his injured palm and with his mouth wide open, Ren Yuan raise his eyes up to meet the swirling sapphire eyes that are currently surging with chaotic emotions that has somehow taken his breath away.

"Yuan… I… don't want to hurt you…"

"Um…"

Ren Yuan for the first time has his mind completely blank, unable to react, and form any right word to speak of.
