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

Chapter 105: One Step At A Time Right? 'Ren Yuan You Are Becoming Interesting The More I Get To Know The Present You Right Now.'

"Brother, our plan, at least please follow it."

"... alright."

Shao Cheng that has received the grim and serious nod of his older brother feels a bit relief inside him, although he still feels concerned and worries no matter how much preparation and planning they all discuss the entire time.

And just like always, Shao Cheng has done everything he could arrange about their dangerous situation so all he could do was expect a better outcome of the confrontation that is about to happen in order to save their lives.

This time Shao Yan would not turn into the broken man he once was in the previous life, while not allowing his older brother fate to turned into a dead one this time.

"Third Brother please take care of yourself"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng felt his hand being grab and tightly grip by his older brother and it took everything he got not to wrenched or flinch away from the sudden touch on his skin, although his body has still tense up causing Shao Yan to reveal a sad and knowing expression on his face.

It was really the body instinctive reaction, although it doesn't change the fact that his older brother still feel hurt from his reaction right?

Especially when Shao Cheng can easily touch and embrace another stranger rather than his own family but Ren Yuan will always be a special person to him only Shao Yan doesn't know the reason why Shao Cheng treats Ren Yuan completely differently right?

Even Shao Cheng doesn't know on how did Ren Yuan has become special to him since it just suddenly happen one day, when Shao Cheng considered the man that he once treats as his greatest enemies being the most important existence to his life.

It seemed that being a ghost while staying with Ren Yuan has given Shao Cheng enough time to completely erase his biased, judgment, hatred, and hostility toward the man.

So this time, Shao Cheng also needs more time to be able to treat the family that care about him into a completely different mindset unlike in the previous life, but still, Shao Cheng has also gently gripped his older brother's hands in a show of his recognition about their sudden closeness with each other.

Older brother just wait for me to get comfortable with you, then my entire family later on, especially when I start loving you back alright? I will appreciate your devotion and care this time.

And if the suddenly tight but gentle grip along with a bit of glistening dark blue eyes of Shao Yan is the answer that Shao Cheng has gotten back from his unspoken words then he didn't stop the small sad smile that graces his lip this time.

"Brother. We will go back home together"

We need to be a complete family brother I can't have one of you missing in my new life alright?

Shao Yan felt the sudden acceptance and the way his younger brother is trying to open up is heart toward him that he couldn't stop the quiver of his lip before his dark blue eyes glint with steel resolution and determination to survive their dangerous circumstances.

"Yes, Third Brother, we will go back home. Our siblings and parents is waiting for us." 

I will not die I'll continue to protect you and we will go back home to finally become a complete family.

Letting go of the cold hand on his grip that doesn't fail to continuesly warm his heart with the affection of overwhelming love to his family, Shao Yan let out a bright smile before raising his hands to pat the top of Shao Cheng head, this time there isn't any hesitation on his movement.

Since his younger brother is trying to accept them while slowly opening up, then he too should try to not hesitate and continue feeling scared of his younger brother running away from his touch that Shao Yan usually considered whenever he wanted to get closer to this younger brother of his, completely fearing of his rejections that cause Shao Yan to stop trying to touch his younger brother in the past.

When was the last time Shao Yan makes the first move? 

"Third Brother I'll go now. Take care of yourself alright?"

I'll believe in you even though my heart pain to leave your side, facing danger in your own way, but I cannot hold you up forever and treat you like a caged bird on your entire life, although I will continue protecting you in my own way, nevertheless, I'll follow the path you will be walking from now on.

And if you ever stumble back and fall over, I'm always here to catch you when you needed it alright? After all, I am your big brother.

Shao Cheng you have grown up a bit without me knowing it, I'm so proud of you brother.

"I will. Brother, take care."

Seeing the overflowing love and gentleness on his older brother's eyes, cause Shao Cheng to allow himself to be treated as his young brother while accepting the affection of the person before him without feeling the need to act it out.

They say a person needed to take one step at a time right?

And so with that, Shao Cheng watched as his brother along with other people completely disappear into a certain location in which he has planned for them to wait for their enemies to arrive.

Because rather than waiting for the enemy to attack them and become surrounded, Shao Cheng has decided to make a surprise attack and ambushing them instead.

All the trap and net he has set up while they have been hiding has been placed all over the forest in order to deal with the enemies that outnumber, at least, his older brother people are all elites that have been trained rigorously even if they have fewer people with them.

As for the reason why his older brother who was the main target of being in the group of people fighting their enemies back instead of being kept in the hideout and protected all around was because Shao Yan has a strong sense of duty and responsibility of fighting with his people and although there is time that he needed to keep himself safeguarded but his older brother stubbornly insisted that this dangerous time he can't just remain quiet.

Especially when the enemies have too many people, which is also a group of elites, in which has been count in hundreds already just based on the continuesly connecting animals that Shao Cheng tried to reach over to where the enemies have been appearing all around the place looking for them.

Really, with how many people after them right now, Shao Cheng wanted to erase those corrupted people just like what he has done once in the past one more time because the officials that are station in the land that they are currently located at have definitely turned a blind eye of what is happening that their enemies manage to remain unhindered while getting too many people to deal with them.

Shao Cheng will definitely remove them all, they want power right? He will let them lost everything they got.

"Cheng I won't let anything happen to you and your brother. I promise you that."

Hearing the self-confidence voice of Ren Yuan along with the promise he has spoken, Shao Cheng who was brimming with killing intent on his heart along with chillingly cold gaze has turned around to meet the serious and solemn peach blossom grey eyes of Ren Yuan that silently spoke of his genuine feeling.

And Shao Cheng without hiding what he truly felt has shown a small hint of what he really is while articulating a word that sounds absolutely a commitment in an indifferent voice.

"Yuan, they want brother dead. I'll need to remove them all." Not all these people but the one hidden and manipulating the attacks.

"Yes, yes, it just right for you to feel that way. I'll do the same thing you know? And let assume that they figure out your identity too then they will definitely target you now in which I also want to remove them all completely right now."

They want you dead too so I need to deal with them, better yet, massacring them all is the best way to do it.

Ren Yuan just smiles with understanding not showing any guilt and remorse about speaking of killing everyone that is against them while Shao Cheng eyes glint in certain appreciation as he gazes at the person before him.

This man is the same as him suddenly those thoughts flash on Shao Cheng minds while Ren Yuan that was able to read those appreciated look within those sapphire eyes couldn't help but feel a bit flustered although his chest couldn't help but slightly puff up in satisfaction.

"Alright I will leave now. Just use the bow as your weapon this time alright? No attacking in close combat!"

Hearing the constants reminder of Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng inwardly roll his eyes while outwardly nodding his head obediently before giving him a dagger which Ren Yuan has taken with gentle actions and has began started examining it with a wondering expression.

"This is coated with strong lethal poison and is better to use once for a stronger and powerful effect, so make sure to stab the person in a vital part when you needed to use this weapon."

"Aww, is Cheng Cheng worried about me too?"

Suddenly, Ren Yuan lip spread widely into a bright smile entirely making his exquisite features into a charming appearance, however, he couldn't help but cratch his cheeks when he receives a serious nod from the young man that has straightly met his gazes that cause his heart to feel warm at the concern and care that he is receiving from him.

"Oh here you go."

"What's tha- omff!"

Suddenly, Ren Yuan's eyes widen when he felt Shao Cheng fingers were pushed slightly into his mouth causing his slippery tongue to accidentally touch upon those slender fingers before feeling a small round ball inside his mouth.

"Medicine for the poison just in case you stupidly stab yourself with it."

"...!"

Feeling the way his finger being unconsciously brushed by Ren Yuan's slippery tongue, Shao Cheng has slowly blink his eyes at the weird sensation he felt along with the utterly warm and wet feeling that he couldn't stop himself from gently stroking that tongue in curiosity for a second before pulling it out.

"Wwa...!"

"Yuan, your reaction is so funny."

Seemingly unable to answer back, Shao Cheng just inspects at the completely flush face of Ren Yuan that is presently giving him a wide eye look while covering his mouth with his hands before the man has practically sprinted away while moving his other hand in a wild gesture in a seemingly confusing and frustrating feeling.

Somehow, Shao Cheng is beginning to like the man entertaining expression that sometimes appeared whenever the two of them interact with each other.

"... Ren Yuan you are becoming interesting the more I get to know the present you right now."

With that, Shao Cheng has disappeared into the distance as he ran toward the location that he will be staying as the fighting for survival happen.
