The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

"By the way, Brother Yuan… do you have time during New Year Eve?"

A certain thought has quickly flashed in Shao Cheng's mind before he asking Ren Yuan if he has free time during the night of celebrating new year's eve, however, in a few seconds, he couldn't help but let out a soft cough stopping the man from replying.

Cough...

Shao Cheng's eyebrow couldn't help but wrinkle since his lungs were really affected by the poison, and even though he could endure it, but after slowly being used in the presence of Ren Yuan, his attitude of always restraining and hiding his weakness has become lower as time passes by.

He was completely being more open, at least, toward Ren Yuan, he can easily throw away the usual cold and indifferent expression on his face, becoming more genuine and true the longer they stay with each other.

At least, Shao Cheng doesn't have to wait for the man to use his amazing skill of always breaking the usual mask on his face.

"... I feel... cough... like eating a roast snake."

Forget about the rabbit dishes after being bitten by snakes three times in just a short time, he suddenly has the craving of eating snake dishes.

After all, being bitten by the deadliest snake wasn't easy and smooth as it seemed despite Purple helping deal with the poison in his body.

The after effect after surviving is also troublesome, and even though Shao Cheng only felt the low effect because of the strangeness of his body changes.

However, the heaviness on Shao Cheng's chest honestly felt uncomfortable, even if he can endure it because of countless difficult experiences but who would want to feel such pain if it wasn't needed?

Shao Cheng isn't a masochist, especially when every single time he breathes there is a painful feeling in his lungs, there is also the coldness and burning heat constantly swapping in inside his body.

"Whitey is really stubborn. You just need to tell me if you don't feel comfortable alright? You really have to stop the bad habit of always carrying all the problems yourself and was only waiting to deal with everything when you have the time to do it."

Suddenly, Shao Cheng can only watch in a dazed manner when Ren Yuan has stood up before sitting on the edge of the bed, before putting an arm over his shoulder and letting his slender body lean over an extremely warm body.

And shorty, Shao Cheng also felt when the hand place on his shoulder has slowly slid down before a warm palm has started caressing his thin back, which followed with the feeling of a flow of internal energy gently and warmly entering his body, completely making him feel a bit comfortable.

"Hey, I might not have an excellent doctor skill but I'm really immeasurable when it comes to internal energy~ At least, I can make you feel a bit better."

"...mnm..."

"Come and drink some water too, your lip is completely dry."

Shao Cheng can only dazedly blink his sapphire eyes at Ren Yuan's thoughtful and careful actions, before turning his eyes toward the beautiful blue cap being place near his lip with a slight confusion quickly flashing in his sapphire eyes.

"Hm? Why aren't you drinking? Do you want Brother Yuan to feed you mouth to mouth?~"

Shao Cheng felt his pale cheeks flushing a bit with his heart quickly thumping faster than usual.

Despite knowing how the man is only being playful and wasn't really serious about the ambiguous words he uttered but it doesn't change the fact that his heart was already hopeless the moment it felt certain different emotions.

... its hopeless to stop the emotion being born in my heart... I only hope that I would remain rational and able to control myself the moment it has become deeper.

Shao Cheng knows that he can act extremely with almost no bottom line when it comes to the people who can enter his heart, and Ren Yuan is the first person who he is starting to have romantic feelings.

... in the future... would I be able to let go of you? After all, my decision of letting you live a happy life with someone else before is becoming harder to even think about...

While Shao Cheng was in the process of becoming indecisive regarding his decision in the past, he has silently opened his mouth to drink a small sip of water after quickly noticing the man's pair of grey eyes becoming darker the longer he remained unmoving.

And although he felt his slightly dry throat comfortable after being moisture, but there is an unspeakable sourness in his heart.

... why I am falling for you in this life? Isn't being a trusted friend enough? There wasn't really no need to complicate our relationship in this new life...

Shao Cheng couldn't help but complain inside his heart because just as he always thought, he honestly wanted to avoid having any romantic emotions in his life.

And yet, Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes couldn't help but gaze upon the man's slender finger holding the beautiful blue cup he has just drunk before finally turning his eyes down after feeling a certain pull on his right arm.

Which has quickly shown a pale of thin arm reflected in Shao Cheng pair of sapphire pupils, something that has once more cause him to feel grimace.

After all, in Shao Cheng's eyes, the slender body and thin arms in his early years is something he completely dislikes to see, especially when the man he slightly likes was also seeing it.

At this rate, wouldn't the image he has in Ren Yuan will remain as someone that can easily push down later on?

After all, compared to the excellent lithe body filled with beautiful muscle line in the previous life, his younger physical body can easily be misinterpreted as the person that is more likely to be suppressed in bed.

Rather than the one who can be the top when it comes to the same gender relationship.

Wait… why am I thinking of such a thing???... Cough…didn't I already promise to remain a virgin and an old bachelor in this new life too?

"So, this is where the poisonous snake has bitten you?"

It took everything Shao Cheng has to stop his body from shivering when a warm slender finger has gently slide upon the skin of his right arm before gently prodding the bandage wrapped around from where the snake has bitten him while unconscious.

"We can't have a scar leaving in your skin.  Wait for a bit, and I'll send you the excellent medicine that would remove any scars. It was one of the amazing drugs in the Palace that the Emperor has rewarded to my old man."

"I'm not a woman."

Shao Cheng finally spoke in a slightly hoarse voice while allowing the man to continue to touch the skin on his right arm, completely throwing such ambiguous actions as acceptable in his mind because he has more pressing questions.

Which is, why did the Emperor give such medicine to the Prime Minister? After all, there is definitely a more valuable reward to give rather than a beautiful treatment that is usually used by the women in the harems.

"Huh, of course I know, I have already seen the Little Cheng down there when we took a bath with each other, which is a bit cute from its shapes and appearance."

Ren Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes before showing a mischievous grin on his face, while Shao Cheng felt his face becoming hot before it quickly turned dark because of the man's shameless and embarrassing remarks.

... who is cute in appearance? Wait for a few years and I'll show you what cute is! Base on what I saw in the previous life after following you around in the Palace, mine will be excellent in all aspects!

"Anyway, I don't want such beautiful skin to be left with a scar alright? Don't you want Brother Yuan to keep praising how beautiful you are? How lovely and captivating my Little Cheng is? How I am friends with the most beautiful man in the entire Capital? So, Whitey has better maintain your appearance alright?"

"..."

I don't know what to say and feel…

And yet, Shao Cheng can't stop the happiness and delight that has emerged in his heart after hearing such words from him, completely in the process of turning into an idiot the longer his feeling grows.

Because, despite the fact that he didn't even care if he was beautiful or not, nonetheless, he couldn't help but start caring about his appearance after hearing the man speak such words.

Shao Cheng has only started liking this man and yet he felt like his IQ is lowering so much.
