ALL NOVEL Chapter 42: Shao Cheng Heart Fluttered And Even Ren Yuan Heart Also Fluttered Back.
Every three hours the three of them can only take a rest while making sure with the best of their ability that they didn't leave any evidence for their chaser to follow them up with while from the beginning till now of the pursuit has already starting taking a toll in their still weak body that has just healed.
Although Shao Cheng has done his best to cure and heal everyone's injuries, however, it didn't mean that the only few days of rest that they manage to have will absolutely make them completely strong and healthy.
After all, he isn't a miracle doctor only an extremely talented one.
Glancing at the panting Ren Yuan, a hint of worry flash on Shao Cheng eyes, after all, the man was just save from the brink of death from the high fever that was caused by the freezing coldness, poison, and stress from being hunted down continuously before he found them.
Besides, right now, even his body cannot handle the stress of constant running, the purple energies damage that he recieve from pushing his physical limit hasn't properly been taken care of which the three days of rest isn't enough at all.
Closing his eyes as he senses the area around them more clearly, finding a reliable route to take in order to stay find a safe place, at least Ren Yuan should have other hidden spots around the place that he can stay with which his other closest people doesn't know.
Because right now, Shao Cheng couldn't count in that young man in blue robe to come rescue them, after all, he might have gotten caught and even die when Shao Cheng left him.
"Whitey are you alright?"
Suddenly Ren Yuan's concern voice along with his incoming footsteps has reached his ears, causing Shao Cheng to open his eyes and instantly meeting the worried peach blossom grey eyes of Ren Yuan that has squatted before him.
"Don't push yourself too much. Xing Ning and I can just fight them if it need be while you can go hide and even leave us to run away from here. In the first place, this is our problem and you have just been caught up on it, so I won't blame you."
Shao Cheng just silently listen while lowering his eyes in order to not see the troubled exquisite face of Ren Yuan, finding it a bit hard to suddenly gaze at that expression on Ren Yuan face before abruptly a large hand which is always filled with warmth so completely different from his own always cold hand has gently grasped his causing Shao Cheng to blink his eyes in bewilderment.
"Whitey, although you seemed skilled and experienced, though I know that you have never gotten into a fight from before right?" and I believe that you haven't even killed a person with these hands.
Ren Yuan couldn't help but trace his finger at those cuts on those palm and fingers which cause him a bit in distressed because it was such a smooth, soft and unblemished hands from the first time he felt them grasping his wrist but now it was wounded all over as it experience hardship and suffering from the past few days.
"So Whitey, it's enough really. You have worked hard and for all that I thank you."
Hearing the sudden heartful words of Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng's eyes fluctuate while his heart skips a bit as this man sudden gentleness reminds him of the previous life Ren Yuan actions toward him which made him unable to react for a moment.
While in some way, Ren Yuan words are true because the current body he is using was someone that doesn't have a single trace of a person that has been training in martial arts, although he has gotten internal energies from a young age, it was unrefined since it has long stopped training after the traumatic event on his younger years.
Thus, the original Shao Cheng was a person that has never trained any martial arts after that fateful event that has made the original dislike any kind of physical fighting and violence.
"I won't let you die."
Suddenly Shao Cheng raises his head and gazes at those peach blossom grey eyes of the older man, his eyes filled with determination and unyielding resolution causing Ren Yuan to suddenly become flustered while feeling tangle and confused about why the young man was so resolute to save his life.
Although he has saved the young man from drowning before nevertheless this is a bit an overkill reason for that stubbornness right? Because the entire time, Ren Yuan has the feeling that Whitey will follow him if he were to die today which is completely weird.
"I like you, so I won't let anything bad happen to you." Ren Yuan, there is no way that I will allow you to die, not today and not in the future…since I will accept it only if you were to die from old age or illness or by my hands which I will no longer do.
"Eh?"
Abruptly hearing the sudden confession of the young man Ren Yuan felt his heart skip a bit, his heart fluttering from unknown emotion that has caused his face to flush in pink, but when he met those clear sapphire eyes, Ren Yuan has immediately woken up when it dawn on him that there is no other meaning behind those words and was only talking in a pure sense, making him feel extremely embarrassed and awkward.
Though Ren Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit of a slight relief and feeling a bit lost at the same time which is really extremely mysterious and before he can think more deeply about it, the young man has suddenly pulled him over and leaning on his chest causing Ren Yuan to freeze over at the suddenly close intimate contact.
"Big Brother Yu Yu let me rest for a bit alright?"
Soon, Shao Cheng has taken a small rest, preparing himself for what is about to come as he closes the suddenly determined sapphire eyes which glint about some unexplainable purpose as he finally settled about what to do.
Feeling the familiar warmth around him that doesn't fail to give Shao Cheng great comfort and ease has caused him to inwardly sigh about how he will miss this for a while since right now, there are already a formed planned on his mind.
Soon as he fell asleep, Ren Yuan can only glance down at the young man sleeping on his arms which seemed to have an ease of familiarity with his actions as he cuddles against him, causing Ren Yuan to glance with wide questioning eyes toward the silent Xing Ning the entire time.
Wait… is this… you mean…? No way?
Seemingly unable to open his mouth to speak about what he was thinking, Xing Ning has only given a glance at the cuddling Whitey before turning his attention toward his suddenly frozen friend that doesn't know about what to do and how to react.
"What are you surprise for? In the first place, when you are sick, you were the one who has wrapped yourself to Whitey, being clingy as you embrace him to your arms. Really such a poor guy that can't even get away from you, so right now, Whitey is already used to your embrace now, so be responsible and take the consequences of your own action."
Though after that, it has always been Whitey that has made the move with the embracing and other intimate stuff, however, there is no way that Xing Ning will tell his friend about that.
After all, the headache and problem that his friend has given him in the past few years aren't just a few ones, so with this, Xing Ning feel good that his friend has finally found his nemesis that will definitely cause him difficulty, in a nice way though.
However, when Xing Ning will be forced to watch dog foods continuously in the future has suddenly felt extremely aggrieved since not only was Whitey is Ren Yuan nemesis, the young man was also Ren Yuan Fated Lover.
