Chapter 237

237 DO YOU WANT TO EAT ME?

Bai Chen didn’t plan on giving Wu Jinhai a way to escape this time. Before the man in red could come up with another reason to protect what he was hiding behind the mask, he immediately told the man that he would not accept any excuses now.

That was why even Wu Jinhai looked stunned, but then the man chuckled before extending his hand and placing the comb in Bai Chen’s palm. “Please help me keep this comb so I can remove my mask with my hands,” he said.

The comb was now in Bai Chen’s palm, and Bai Chen couldn’t help but feel that it was a smooth way for Wu Jinhai to get him to hold the comb once more even after he returned the thing to its original owner.

Not only was Bai Chen getting smarter here, but even Wu Jinhai kept getting better at tricking him, and that was why the Werewolf Prince once again sighed heavily before he stuffed the comb into his clothes. For now, he just wanted to know what was hidden behind the golden mask, and that was why he chose to obey the man’s orders.

It might seem like he was relenting, but Bai Chen told himself that he was only doing it so that Wu Jinhai wouldn’t use nonsense words as an excuse so he wouldn’t have to take off his golden mask.

Meanwhile, Wu Jinhai smiled behind the mask after he saw how Bai Chen was willing to accept the comb again, but of course, the man in white was unable to see the smile. It looked like how Bai Chen finally decided to accept the comb had more meaning for Wu Jinhai, but he didn’t voice it out loud.

Now, Wu Jinhai’s hands were free, and that was why the man was able to carry them behind his head to untie the knot behind his head. It seemed that Wu Jinhai was doing it very slowly, and Bai Chen even held his breath while waiting for the golden mask to finally leave Wu Jinhai’s face.

A second felt like an hour, and it felt like a day when the golden mask finally fell onto Wu Jinhai’s lap, and Bai Chen could see the thing hiding behind the man’s mask.

Previously Wu Jinhai had told him the reason why he was angry when Bai Chen’s slightly wet finger suddenly touched his forehead, and that was why Bai Chen focused his blue eyes on the man’s forehead right after the golden mask was removed. And indeed, he found something on the forehead.

.....

It turned out that almost half of Wu Jinhai’s forehead was covered with golden scales. Yes, the scales were like those on fish. The sight was unexpected, and that was why Bai Chen widened his eyes in surprise without being able to get a word out of his lips.

Perhaps Wu Jinhai could see that the shorter man was surprised, and that was why he looked away from the man before saying, “Disgusting, right? I’m human, but some parts of my body are covered in fish scales. Maybe I should just cover my face again so you don’t have to be disgusted anymore.”

The first time Bai Chen met the man was a month ago, and in his eyes, the man was a confident and shameless man who could do anything without feeling any hesitation or embarrassment. But, for some reason, the man in red suddenly looked doubtful and frightened, and that was why Bai Chen was even more surprised by it.

The Werewolf Prince could see how Wu Jinhai hastily grabbed the golden mask once again, seeming to want to put it on his face again. However, before the man’s hand could move any further, Bai Chen suddenly grabbed it, causing the man in red to turn his head to him once again.

“It’s not disgusting,” Bai Chen said firmly. “The golden scales look like accessories to my eyes, and they’re not disgusting at all. On the contrary, I think they’re beautiful.”

Now, it was Wu Jinhai’s turn to look surprised after hearing Bai Chen’s statement. Apart from the golden scales on his forehead, Wu Jinhai’s face was exactly the same that Zhu Ge always showed Bai Chen every day.

After the golden mask fell, Bai Chen was able to confirm that Wu Jinhai was indeed Zhu Ge and Zhu Ge was indeed Wu Jinhai, and somehow he felt complicated in his heart even if he could guess it before the man finally took off his mask.

That was why Bai Chen even tried to comfort the man in the midst of his confusion, and he could see how the man’s pair of brown eyes looked at him in slight disbelief after hearing his comforting words.

Realizing that what he had just said managed to bring about an awkward atmosphere between them, Bai Chen finally let go of Wu Jinhai’s hand before awkwardly clearing his throat. “You know I like to eat fish, right? That’s why I don’t find you disgusting just because you have fish scales on you,” he said without looking at the man sitting next to him.

Wu Jinhai could hear how Bai Chen seemed to be trying to explain his words further, and the Werewolf Prince probably didn’t want him to misunderstand his previous words. Now, Wu Jinhai smiled again, but the smile was exposed because he could no longer hide behind the golden mask.

“Yeah, I remember you like to eat fish,” Wu Jinhai replied as he continued to stare at the shorter man who still wouldn’t look at him. Seeing Bai Chen continue to avoid his gaze, Wu Jinhai suddenly moved his hand in front of his shirt before he removed the cloth covering his chest area. “You can look at me again and will be able to see that I’m also a fish. So, do you want to eat me?”

It was Wu Jinhai’s shocking question, and Bai Chen reflexively turned his head towards the man, only to see how the man’s right and left chest were covered in numerous golden fish scales.
