"So…. I look so good in Whitey eyes huh…"

"... um…"

"Then… can you describe more in words, of how 'good' I am in your eyes?"

Ren Yuan was absolutely smiling from ear to ear while Xiu secretly rolled her eyes after seeing her Young Master basically take advantage of the semi-unconscious young man in his arms, although she couldn't help but secretly tilt her head to the side also wanting to hear how the young man will answer back.

And Shao Cheng who has once more began to have a blurry state of mind for once can only dazedly and blankly answer truthfully without carefully thinking and holding back what he usually has in mind.

"Annoyingly… good… so skilled…and difficult... sometimes...made me… want to beat it... up… to death..."

"..."

Xiu has almost let out a loud snort after seeing Ren Yuan speechless expression while finally figuring out that there is a reason why this young man has gotten her Young Master's interest and getting his surprising attentive care.

The Young Master has finally met a person who can equally cause him to become speechless, basically a fated nemesis.

"No, no… Whitey, I'm talking about my appearance, not about my amazing personality and talents!"

Ren Yuan quickly change his words out while carefully guiding the young man to lean sideways on his left arm while his left leg was raised over with his feet place on the couch so the young man's body will stay steady while leaning on his arm.

"Now, look… do you see my face? What do you think? Am I extremely attractive? Beautiful? Pretty?"

Shao Cheng slowly blinks his sapphire eyes before gazing up to closely observe the face leaning down a bit close to his own before the man words have finally registered in his semi-conscious mind.

"Um… dazzling... charming… really…. pretty... better locked it up though… easier to… protect… and won't give me endless trouble… and easier to safeguard… from the foxes and wolves...around..."

"...!"

Despite the sound of a sharp inhale of breath, Shao Cheng continues to speak what he really has in mind, even the subconscious part hidden too deeply without him knowing about it and especially going so far as to slightly pinch the dazzling face staring down on him.

"...Really.. attractive... enough… to cause the downfall… of a nation…I...will do my best… but...Brother Y-Yuan… needed to… also be careful…"

Ren Yuan's eyes felt like it was about to pop out of its socked with how wide it was along with his mouth open widely, unable to know how to react about what the young man genuinely thought of his appearance.

However, deep inside, Ren Yuan also felt abnormally pleased and delightful that his cheeks have turned suspiciously pink while completely ignoring and disregarding the dangerous ideas mixed in the young man's words.

Damn… I didn't know I look that great in Little Cheng's eyes!

Of course, Ren Yuan knows how attractive and charming his appearance is, however, he has been having personal mixed feelings regarding it because of some personal issues in the past, nonetheless, for the first time, he genuinely felt happy and pleased after hearing another person compliment his appearance.

Because Ren Yuan would remain indifferent in his heart if it was another person mentioning it, although the young man has definitely spoken it during a confused state but that makes Ren Yuan far happier because he absolutely knows that Little Cheng wasn't lying!

Somehow, Ren Yuan couldn't help but lowered his head down and placing his face into the young man's soft hair, suddenly finding it hard to keep gazing at the half-lidded sapphire pupils innocently staring in his eyes.

"... um… I see… ok… then, I'll let Little Cheng protect me… though locking up is not allowed…! Yeah…cough...um..."

Ba-dump…

Ba-dump…

Ba-dump…

Ren Yuan seemed to have been hit hard by the young man's honesty which for some reason also suddenly sounds a bit flirtatious in his ears to the point that he couldn't help but softly pat his chest because his heart was beating faster than usual, completely surprise and joyful while taking steady and calm breathing.

Damn… Whitey is always making fouled move… before a simple smile can easily stun him… but now, even his words can affect him like this… did he really meet his nemesis?

"... protect you…?... been doing that already though…"

Shao Cheng long eyelashes gently flutter while a strand of soft and smooth hair gently tickled the side of his face as he softly murmured words that have once again cause Ren Yuan to take a deep breath.

"Arghhh! Alright! Let's go to sleep! It's time to have proper rest!"

It appeared that Ren Yuan's thick face couldn't handle Shao Cheng's dangerous honesty anymore as he gently hugs the young man in his arms before jumping off the couch to quickly walked over to the inner room where a bed was already prepared to use.

It was something Xiu already prepared if he ever wanted to stay on a whim in her private residence.

Wait... Xiu…?

Surprisingly, rather than Ren Yuan showing his usual playful expression, his flush cheeks has further turned into a beautiful crimson color, completely showing how embarrassed he really felt inside, although he was able to quickly change it back to normal while his grey pupils coldly stare to the other person inside the room.

Damn, how could he forget her presence?

Whitey!!! You are making me lost face to my subordinates!

"Leave."

Ren Yuan dangerously spits out before walking further into the inner room of the guest room while carrying the young man in his arms and leaving the woman whose shoulder has been shaking so badly the whole time with her face completely turning red from trying to stop herself from even making a tiny noise.

And after quickly shooting an amusing look in the disappearing young man back, Xiu has finally picked up her medical kits and swiftly leaving the room, even she knows not to push her Young Master bottom line.

Ah… between the two…surprisingly, it seemed her Young Master will be the one going to be dominated just by the reaction she miraculously witnesses.

"...Sleep?... No!"

Suddenly, before Shao Cheng was gently placed down in the large bed, Ren Yuan's words have finally registered in his mind, and abruptly bolting up with a crystal clear consciousness emerging on his eyes.

The important mission he has been performing today has finally clicked in his mind.

"Gah!"

Despite the sudden pain in Shao Cheng's forehead in which has caused his mind to be more awake, his sapphire pupils quickly flicker while his hand was already moving in an instinctual manner to swiftly pull the person who was about to fall backward.

Which happened to be Ren Yuan who suddenly lost his balanced after their heads have hit each other hard.

However, Shao Cheng seemed to have underestimated his strength, vulnerability, and injured state since he was pulled forward rather than pulling Ren Yuan who at the same time was about to use his internal energy to swiftly balance himself, thus causing another sudden situation to happen.

Shortly, two grunts of pain along with a hint of surprise have echoed out at the same time before being followed by the sound of two bodies dropping hard on the grounds.

Which has instantly cause Shao Cheng's head to feel extremely dizzy just from the impact of falling down on the ground.

And even though there was a long arm swiftly wrapping around Shao Cheng body in a protective gesture and stopping him from further injury along with opening his wound up that was just treated, he still felt a painful sensation inside his body.

Shao Cheng injured body has slightly shaken from the pain, even though it was only a small movement since it was simply his physical body reacting, after all, enduring pain is one of the skills he has already mastered in the previous life.

Besides, the sword that has pierced his chest before wasn't a simple attack, the heir of the Ma Family was wholeheartedly prepared to completely kill off 'Suyin' so there was internal energy added in the mix that has caused more damage inside his body.

Although Shao Cheng managed to protect his vital parts but it doesn't change the fact that he was still injured by the attack that he should be able to dodge but has chosen to take just for the sake of completely deceiving those people with 'Suyin' death.

For now, Shao Cheng finally remembers that he needed to quickly get back to the Shao Residence because, in the planned, he has decided to let his Second Brother know a bit more about Xiaolin situation.

It was all for the same of having someone trustworthy enough to handle their Family situation inside their Residence since the little devil wouldn't be enough to handle the entire sitaution.

Because unlike his Older Brother Yan who will have to get back in the military near a border he was sent to stay and protect, Shao Chonglin would be staying in the Capital most of the time, especially now that Mo Xuan will be secretly helping him deal with the problem.

"... I ne-!"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng's head moves up only to abruptly froze over while his lip has remained slightly open with a bit of tremble on it when the detailed sensation of something warm and soft continues to flash repeatedly in his mind, especially after smelling the familiar and natural flower scents drifting his nose.

And despite the fact that Shao Cheng mind has surprisingly blanked out, his eyes have still dazedly moved a bit before finally remembering that Ren Yuan's head has lower down the same time he has raises his head up.

Fortunately or unfortunately? Shao Cheng's moving lip has slightly touched Ren Yaun cheek, which is dangerously close to the corner of the man's lip.

It was only a feathery touch, so soft and weak that it can easily assume of as a mere imagination which would have been great if Shao Cheng didn't notice Ren Yuan grey pupils constricting from surprise and shocked.

"...!"

In the past, Shao Cheng has feed Ren Yuan with his mouth during the Snowstorms deep in the cave, so slightly gracing the man cheek shouldn't matter one bit, however, that was when the man was completely unconscious!

Especially now when Shao Cheng felt the body he was lying on top has suddenly tense completely that it felt like he was lying in cold steel instead of a warm body!

Wouldn't this situation… cause something to stir in Ren Yuan heart…? After all, even the smallest change and gestured can strongly affect a person.

No!

A strong fear, denial, and overwhelming terror instantly emerged in Shao Cheng's heart before numerous thought has quickly flash in his mind and decisively turning his head sideways and vomiting blood out from his mouth in just a few seconds of silence.

He doesn't allow it…! Especially when in their situation, it wouldn't do anything good for Ren Yuan to suddenly become enlightened just like the previous life!

Honestly, Shao Cheng doesn't have the confidence to deal with a Ren Yuan who has romantic feelings toward him! He wouldn't deny the fact that he completely and utterly lacks the courage to face such feelings!

Anything else is good, but never a similar Ren Yuan in the previous life!

Shao Cheng's eyes flash a steeled determination and resolute ruthlessness as his pale face completely turned whiter before his body has weakened further, slightly damaging his body enough for him to vomit blood!

As for the dangerous thought that dangerously graces his mind, Shao Cheng has swiftly sealed it all away, completely fearing to even notice and examine what it was all about.

"Little Cheng!"

Feeling a bit relieved when the man has finally reacted, Shao Cheng has weakly grasped the man robes before speaking weakly with blood still dripping in the corner of his lip along with the slowly closing of his eyes.

"...h-home!"
