Chapter 99: Shao Cheng Bad Side Has Stirred Up And Ren Yuan Brain Shutting Off.
"Here you go."
Shao Cheng places a slice of meat and grilled fish with wild vegies in front of a frenzied Shao Yan that practically vibrating from excitement before he glances over at the joyful Xixi that is eating the food he has cooked with a delightful face along with such ungraceful manner.
And then he couldn't help but returned his attention upon his older brother that seemed to be practically worshiping the long leaves that he has used as a plate to put the meat and fish with such a serious expression.
… was Shao Yan this weird the entire time?
It was just something he has grilled over in the fire while using the spice that Jin Loo has taken over with him when they have been running away to hide from their enemies, really it is only such simple way of cooking so why are these people reacting this way?
Especially when Shao Cheng turned around and saw the way that Ren Yuan was eating without a single manner on his movement like he was a starving beast that has been hungry for far too long.
Such, Shao Cheng can only remain silent while showing the usual cold expression that doesn't contain even a single emotion within it.
"..."
Right now, he has given up comprehending these people, because somehow it felt like he was the only person normal among them, although, when he took a glance at the only person that didn't receive a portion of food that he has made, at least there is another normal one.
Inwardly shaking his head, Shao Cheng sat down next to Ren Yuan and has gracefully eaten his own food which has produced a wonderful spectacle among the barbaric manner in their group.
"Hm~ Cheng, I really love the food you cook, it always tastes delicious~
"Of course! My Third Brother is the best! He is such a perfect and wonderful existence!"
"My Beautiful Young Master is going to be a perfect wife~"
Hearing Ren Yuan praise, Shao Cheng felt extremely happy while feeling exasperated on his older brother's reaction while wanting to roll his eyes at Xixi's forever weird attitude.
A moment like this always make Shao Cheng sensed satisfaction, entirely feeling the warmth on his heart as he glances at the people around him.
To be able to have a simple and peaceful moment with Ren Yuan sitting by his side that has a happy face while being close to the biological family that he once threw away, Shao Cheng felt his affection growing a bit more at this kind of scenery.
Sometimes, Shao Cheng doesn't understand why most people don't appreciate such a simple and normal peaceful manner of interacting with the people that should matter more to their life, even in the previous life, all Shao Cheng ever wanted was to silently watch the people he loves and cared about living a peaceful and fulfilling life while staying by their sides.
It was such a simple wish of his, which seemed to be in Shao Cheng case, needed to work so hard first in order to just get it, only failing to do so in the end.
Although the pain on his heart remains, nevertheless, slowly the injury of the betrayal of what he once thought as his loved ones were being replaced by the warm feeling of simply meeting the new people that will matter on his new life.
This time, Shao Cheng would strive to have a far satisfying ending of his life and wouldn't become a miserable one.
"Ah, I'm all out."
Hearing the disappointed voice of Ren Yuan that has ceased eating, unbeknown to Shao Cheng his entire expression has turned impossibly soft, his sapphire eyes turning exceptionally gentle in which Shao Yan who has been glancing at his younger brother from time to time has instantly witnessed the unbelievable changes thus choking on his food.
Letting out a cough along with his eyes widening, Shao Yan witness as his younger brother perform such a caring and tender actions to the person sitting next to him with such exceptionally warm expression that causes him of wanting to die from envy.
While in the corner of his mind, Shao Yan heard the way his cousin Xixi let out a restrained excited soft squeal seemingly afraid to break the supposedly important moment of what her weird vision was probably seeing right now at the way his younger brother interaction with the other young man.
Right then, Shao Yan has resolutely decided that rather than only worrying about his younger brother's innocence, he should also deal or remove the most dangerous individual that keeps wanting to push his younger brother to be together with that young man that she called a tempting younger brother.
His cousin is seriously wanting to pair up his younger brother to another man in which Shao Yan doesn't want to happen, oh it is not because the person is a man because he doesn't have anything against same-gender liking each other since even some in the military has a serious relationship with the same gender inside.
It was because Shao Cheng is still too young for that concept and Shao Yan was just getting to know his younger brother more while gaining him back into their life once more.
So Shao Yan would not let Shao Cheng to be easily stolen away from them! But when he heard a rather affectionate voice of his younger brother and along with the words he has spoken, Shao Yan knew that it was going to be impossible, but he can dream right?
That is his baby adorable brother right there...
"Yuan, for you. You can have mine."
"Eh? But isn't this your favorite meat?"
Seeing the grilled deer meat on his place being placed by Whitey, Ren Yuan slowly blinks his eyes in confusion because he still remembers the time that they were fighting over the piece of meat when the young man has used the kitchen on where they have first resided after they met.
Hearing the confused voice of Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng lip couldn't help but twitch before it spread into another breathtaking smile that was filled with tenderness, while his sapphire eyes glimmer softly.
"Hm? It's alright since it's you that I'm giving it with."
And Ren Yuan that has been in the front row seat to witness such a heart-stopping smile along with the gentle voice that felt like it was gently caressing his ears along with that words that can be interpreted with various misunderstanding meaning has cause Ren Yuan face to heat up once more while he can only dazedly answer back with just a nod of his head.
"... Um…"
Ren Yuan couldn't help but inwardly complain about how foul this young man is, saying such embarrassing words that cause him to become all this flustered and awkward.
Is he feeling embarrassed right now? For real? Nah… Ren Yuan won't admit that he is being shy, no way that is going to happen, there was definitely a reason for it, and he found it when he looks at the close up flawlessly beautiful face of Whitey that seemed to have become more attractive than before.
Yeah, that is definitely the reason for it, no one can resist this appearance.
Besides, Ren Yuan has acted more shamelessly in the Capital, there is no way that he would be beat up by a man who is a few years younger on his ages, although it was a part of his act, but Ren Yuan is proud to be known for his rude and brazen remarks and actions among his peers.
Performing a swallowing motion, Ren Yuan forces his expression to remain the usual and normal look of his, although he doesn't know that the pinkish on his cheeks stayed despite how he tried to appear normal as he ate the meat that the young man has offered and basically bitten it so roughly and messily in order to remove the awkwardness of what he just felt from before.
However, unbeknown to Ren Yuan, a certain someone that has been watching the entire time has caused something within him to stir up from seeing such a completely unusual reaction that for some reason has found it a bit adorable.
In which, it was mostly Shao Cheng's bad character surfacing since his smile has shifted into something more different in which no one in this world doesn't have any idea of what it was yet.
And if Huang Ya and Chang Pei were to see the current expression of Shao Cheng smile at this moment on, they will definitely give a sympathetic and pitying look to the person that the smile was meant to belong.
Because that is the status of Shao Cheng when he felt being particularly bad and basically showing that sadistic side of his that he still refuses to acknowledge as a part of him.
"Sigh… Yuan, you really are a bit hopeless... here let me help you…"
"Huh?"
With a shake of his head, Shao Cheng sapphire eyes which are deeper than ever have gazed upon the other man with a bit more heat on his eyes than usual, causing Ren Yuan to become a bit stunned and feeling somehow flustered from the kind of gaze he was receiving from the young man.
And when Ren Yuan felt the soft touch of Whitey cold finger on the corner of his lip which seemed to teasingly linger for a moment, one could say that his entire body has frozen over once more.
Seeing the way those oh so confusing sapphire eyes of Whitey never once shifting away from his own the entire time that his finger has reached over to take the piece of meat on the corner of his lip, Ren Yuan entire face has abruptly turned into a beautiful crimson color that it even spread over his ears and neck when his wide peach blossom grey eyes follow the way the young man basically lick his slender finger with his pink tongue before swallowing it into his mouth and making a pleasant expression.
"Hm… you are right, it is rather delicious…"
And once more, Ren Yuan's mind has completely turn blank.
"OH MY GOD! I WAS WRONG ALL ALONG! IT IS MY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MASTER THAT IS DEFINITELY THE MANLY ONE! THAT WAS SO DAMN HOT AND SEXY RIGHT THERE! OH NO! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT! AH~ I GOT NOSEBLEED..."
"T-T-TTHHH--- THIRD B-BROTHERRR?"
Xixi was unable to control and restrain herself anymore try to stop her nose from bleeding, only failing as she squealed so loudly from excitement, while Shao Yan has once more been slap by reality that he basically fainted from what he just saw.
While Yu Qin doesn't know how to respond since he was unable to explain what he is feeling right now but there is one thought that runs his mind the entire time as he gazes at his friend that has completely shut off.
Ren Yuan is going to be defeated.
