Chapter 222: Certain People Reactions And Shao Cheng Special Circumstances.

As the people in the Chang Capital gossips around Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan growing relationship a certain Prime Minister who later learn what his precious son was up to couldn't help but spurt the tea he was drinking while showing a complete disbelief expression on his face.

"Is that really my precious son? Are you sure he wasn't the one who's sick? How come I never have gotten such care when I got ill? Especially when he was the cause of it after kindly cleaning up the trouble he made? Damn! Tell Yuan I'm not going to give his allowance this month unless he comes to take care of me!"

"Milord, did you forget that the Young Master Yuan has secret business around the Empire? He doesn't really need his allowance."

"...!... *cough* *cough*... tell the Royal Court that their amazing Prime Minister is sick from overwork since they are all completely useless!"

"Milord, do you want another vacation again? Well, they will be happy to see you gone for a few days though."

"..."

Then a certain Mo Xuan who was training his soldier in one of the military barracks outside the Chang Capital, which is a strict and private place was extremely envious of his friend's luck after receiving the news from his subordinate.

"Damn it, why is he always getting the luck when chasing his lover? I'm still in the early friendship status with my Chonglin! Even his father is better than my old man who was getting in the way of my love by ordering me to come here!"

After complaining, an envious Mo Xuan has completely taken out his envy toward the poor soldier who was trained harsher than usual, never knowing that the Young Master they worship and devoted themselves to was completely being childish and unreasonable from jealousy.

"... this isn't in my memory!"

While Huang Ya who was being kept in her courtyard, unable to leave unless the Head of the Huang Family allowed her to was finally able to hear the news after two days when the gossip has started spreading around.

"... in the first place, why is he in the Capital???"

Huang Ya eyes flush in panic and fear, the memories in her mind completely different from what is happening, after all, the famous Shao Cheng in her memories shouldn't have come back to the Chang Capital almost a year after being saved from drowning by an ordinary family who was in their way home.

"Why is everything so different!?"

In Huang Ya's memories, everyone knows that certain information after that Shao Cheng has become the Great Advisor of the new Emperor, after all, it was when everything has started.

The famous Shao Cheng in that future has stopped his wandering around the Empire after finally getting back in the Chang Capital and has slowly begun to walk the official path of politics in the Royal Court.

"This wouldn't do! I needed to quickly see him with my own eyes! Something is extremely wrong! Those two people shouldn't be getting along so well!"

Two days before Huang Ya has become more extremely determined to see Shao Cheng and thinking of getting her father's permission to go out, Shao Cheng has just finished having his health check-up by a sweating and nervous physician.

"... What do you mean my younger brother organs are injured by internal energy that has started around his left chest? Ren Yuan what the hell happened??? He told us that everything is well-taken care of!"

Chonglin couldn't help but raise his voice out, after all, his younger brother rarely even receive a tiny cut on his skin, but now he is learning that his Third Brother has such severe injuries!

However, the young man he was trying to get the information out has just completely ignored him.

"Be quiet, Little Cheng needs proper rest and your loud voice isn't helping. Do you know how troublesome it will be if he wakes up now? He will just ignore his health and continue pushing his body to limit. In case you don't know, Little Cheng has a certain problem of ignoring his own well-being."

It's almost like he doesn't care about his own life...

Ren Yuan eyebrow wrinkle while taking the prescribed medicine from the shivering physician and quickly flickering his worried eyes to the sleeping young man that was finally showing a better state of appearance with the abnormal crimson flush on his face finally turning more in pink color.

"Wait a bit and I'll go prepare the medicine Little Cheng needed."

Inwardly sighing in relief that the young man didn't stir up awake from the loud noise, Ren Yuan has casually dismissed the shivering physician who let out an extreme relief sigh before bowing his head in respect and turning around to leave the palace.

Swish! 

However, Ren Yuan's expression didn't even change as he swiftly hit the back of the neck of the physician that was about to take a step toward the door before grasping the back of the person robes in order to stop any noise that could wake up the resting young man when hearing a person body falling hard in the ground.

While a frustrated and flustered Shao Chonglin was completely caught off guard at the young man abrupt action since he didn't even feel and see any warning before the young man has made his move, even despite knowing that they will silence the person he has taken back didn't help at all.

"Deaths are always the perfect way to keep everything a secret…."

Shao Chonglin felt a chill run down his spine when he caught the quick unfeeling grey pupils of the young man staring at the unconscious physician in his hand's and finally understanding that he was still underestimating the young man despite knowing that Ren Yuan wasn't a simple person.

"... now that Little Cheng's dangerous situation is kept in a steady-state and safe from danger, I'll get my own people to check him one more time. Young Master Chonglin, I hate to admit it but I couldn't fully trust the people in your residence. You know the reason right?"

Ren Yuan flicker his grey eyes toward the darkened expression of Chonglin who painfully nodded his head in acceptance before decisively refusing the man's offer of handling the person in his hand.

"No… I'll personally do it… I don't want any unexpected situation from happening because I didn't properly take care of the problem myself."

And with that caring but also ruthless words, Shao Chonglin silently watched as the young man silently took the unconscious person away, fully knowing well what kind of fate that person will end up.

"... Younger Brother… he really treats you well…"

Shao Chonglin can only let out a deep sigh while softly murmuring those words out and giving a complicated gaze toward his unconscious younger brother.

Even though it doesn't look like it, however, Shao Chonglin still understands that the Shao and Ren Family are facing the same problem and dangerous situation, especially when those people who wanted their families to end up in a miserable situation wouldn't want them getting closer.

"... I hope… everything will turn out alright between the two of you…"

And with everything taking care of, it took almost a whole day before Shao Cheng has finally shown a sign of waking up, in which soon his sapphire eyes opened up in high alert only to swiftly hid the sharpness within it as soon as he felt a familiar soothing presence in his left side.

"... Y-Yuan…?"

After turning around, Shao Cheng couldn't help but stare dazedly at the charming exquisite face of the person sleeping on his side for a few more seconds, before his sleepy mind has finally registered that the two of them are sleeping in the same bed again.

Before his eyes have accidentally lowered down and catching glimpse of the man exquisite collarbone and smooth shoulder from the loose crimson robes, which has been caused when sleeping, and if it was before, he could have easily ignored such a situation.

However, after being thoroughly and painfully enlightened, of course, Shao Cheng was instantly alarmed and flustered with his body unconsciously moving backward in order to keep a safe distance from the sleeping Ren Yuan only to suddenly find himself falling down from the bed.

Bam!

"Omf...!"

'W-what! Is it an enemy!"

Suddenly, Ren Yuan who has been sleeping soundly next to his comfortable pillow that he couldn't embrace, in fear of making the injuries to worsen once more has instantly woke up as he bolted up with his grey pupil sharply sweeping the entire room only for his gaze to stop at the kneeling young man in the floor.

"... Little Cheng! You are now awake!... although, how the hell did you fall down?"

"..."

Surprisingly, Shao Cheng felt his face heating up as Ren Yuan gaze in his direction, although a small groan couldnt help but escapes his lip after trying to calmly stand up since his injury has once again got affected by his sudden fall.

"Really, even when waking up you still get injured. Next time, I'll make sure to hold you while we sleep together."

Please don't… and no more sleeping together… it's not good for my heart...

"Come on, stay in bed. You still have a fever, this time, I'm staying at your place until you get better."

Fever? Staying over? How come I don't understand anything you are saying? It felt like I woke up in a different world...

Shao Cheng secretly took a deep calming breath before turning his head around to finally face the older man who keeps making a mess of his life, both in a good and bad way, only to froze over when his still tired sapphire pupil gaze saw the other man before cursing once more in his mind.

Fucking Hell...

In Shao Cheng bed, Ren Yuan is sitting with his robes dangerously loose, which is once again showing more skin than usual while entirely having a sexy and adorable appearance with his long messy hair drape over his shoulder and spread around his body.

"Go Home."

"No way, this time, don't be so stubborn. Even the Two Madams has given me permission to take care of you~"

Ren Yuan lazily rolled his eyes at the cold expression on the young man but with pink cheeks, completely trying hard to show that he was alright before reaching over and swiftly pulling the person back into the bed without waiting for a reply back.

"... Alright, let's go back to sleep. Hmm~ As I thought, it's more comfortable with you in my arms"

"..."

When it comes to restrain and control, Shao Cheng was weak when it comes to Ren Yuan, the man always managed to make him completely lost it.

And now that Shao Cheng has figured out such terrifying emotion, it felt like he was going to go crazy as the man's warm body completely wrapped around his still smaller one.

"Relax, are you nervous? We have been sleeping like this for quite a bit already or are you still worried about what happened before? It's already in the past, besides, it's not like I'll take advantage of you too. Just so you know, I prefer women and don't like men."

Well, more likely no one since I don't just have any interest in anybody.

Ren Yuan felt the slender body in his arm was still tensed up before sleepily opening one of his already close eyes, although he couldn't help but practically slap the young man butt with a playful mind despite what he has just spoken, only to receive a swift and quick punch on his face.

"Ouch!"
