Chapter 291: The Passing Days
Chapter 291: The Passing Days
When Shao Cheng finally regained his consciousness, he found himself laying down on a bed of the countless unoccupied rooms in his courtyard rather than in the main bedroom where he had fallen asleep because of tiredness.
"Mm You finally woke up."
Shao Cheng's sapphire eyes quickly flickered to where the voice had come from, and instantly spotted his cousin Xixi sitting on a chair while reading a book in her hands.
Xixi?... What a great way to wake up to see my crazy cousin just after opening my eyes
Ignoring the bad premonition Shao Cheng has felt as soon as he lays his eyes upon the figure of her crazy cousin.
The pair of sapphire pupils unconsciously glance around the room to locate the person that was firmly ingrained deep in his mind even though he just woke up.
And when Shao Cheng saw the figure missing from the room, he couldn't suppress the utter disappointment that had quickly emerged in his heart.
"Ah, my beautiful cousin is really pitiful The first person you got intimate with ran away as soon as everything had been dealt with. But don't worry, I will definitely help you catch your future wife!"
Or it might be the future husband from the look of it.
Xixi couldn't help but roam her eyes on the ambiguous strawberry marks on the slender neck of her cousin before gazing down and catching a glimpse of a vague bite mark in the loosened sleeping robe.
Although they didn't cross the last line of defense, but damn, they definitely felt each other's bodies
Xixi felt the familiar feeling of her nose beginning to itch and quickly used the book in her hand to start fanning her burning-up face since countless shameful images of two beautiful young men couldn't help but start emerging in her mind one by one.
Runaway?
While Xixi was being overwhelmed by her fantasies in her imagination, Shao Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes before inwardly shaking his head since he almost got pulled into Xixi's crazy rhythm.
"I'm hungry."
When Shao Cheng heard the soft giggles coming from the crazy woman, especially seeing the perverted expression she had begun to display, he quickly put a stop to her thoughts by getting her attention.
"Tsk I'm almost getting into the good part someone was about to be pushed down sigh But who made you my favorite cousin? In the entire world, no one else can match your unparalleled beauty~"
Well, there is one more existence, but the young man is on the gorgeous and stunning side.
An extraordinary beauty and an alluring stunner! The two young men are simply a perfect match made in heaven!
"Alright, my favorite cousin, keep laying down in the bed since your physical body has really been put to its limit. I'll go get the food Aunt Yanmei had prepared for you to eat anytime you wake up."
After the dramatic crazy woman left the room, Shao Cheng remained silent with his eyes staring on top of the ceiling as countless embarrassing and shameful memories suddenly erupted in his mind.
"... I'm fucked up."
Oh God was my brain burned by the medicine too?
Shao Cheng slowly raised his hands to cover his increasingly burning cheeks, which was a quite rare occurrence on his face, before desperately suppressing the chaotic memories which still continued to flash nonstop in his mind.
Especially when somehow Shao Cheng felt like Ren Yuan was still sweetly gasping next to his ears, while desperately grabbing his shirt or his shoulder after being overwhelmed by his skillful hands.
Fuck it
"This is all messed up"
After Shao Cheng spends a few more seconds questioning his life, he was able to quickly return to his normal calm and indifferent expression when Xixi came back with the familiar meat porridge his Mother Yanmei usually prepared for him.
As for the reason why Shao Cheng could easily calm his mind down after a whole intimate day with Ren Yuan, well, he decided to act normally as nothing had happened.
After all, the other person had chosen to run away.
Although he fully understood that it was already a miracle for Ren Yuan to be able to stay for a full day when there was a serious situation to be dealt with in the Ren Family.
Shao Cheng understood how chaotic and ambitious Ren Yuan relatives were.
So after the deep brainwashing, Shao Cheng rested most of the days while letting his entire family handle what occurred after the New Year Celebration.
At the same time, Xiaodan had gotten back to guarding Shao Yan while returning for a few hours to accompany Suyin in their residence.
While Xiaolin spent more time serving Shao Cheng in the courtyard.
As for the massacre of the entire Ma Family, although it had been reported in the Royal Courts, the situation of the Shao and Zhang was main the focus of the Royal Officials and the Emperor.
Especially when it was already proven that the incident was because of the Young Master of the Ma family retaliating with overwhelming hatred toward his entire family.
The medicine secretly was bought from one of the secret organizations and issuing a task for the assassination was also investigated.
Only the missing Young Master Jia was being tracked down with his wanted picture post on the criminal board.
So, a rare peaceful time has passed by with Shao Cheng remaining in his own courtyard with the remaining gifts he wanted to personally give to Ren Yuan always in his vicinity and eyesight.
While at the same time, Ren Yuan was also miraculously working hard for once, seemingly trying to get his mind off from an extremely troublesome issue.
Especially after receiving a strange look from the suspicious Xing Ning in the past few days.
Because of all things that had happened, he wasn't able to hide the marks on his neck after returning back from the crazy, wonderful but terribly awkward events that undoubtedly transpired.
Although on a certain day, Ren Yuan couldn't help but glance around on the spot of an angry Shao Yin who was attending the yearly celebration in the Imperial Palace.
It was an important tradition for the Royal Family to be held no matter what the situation was.
After Ren Yuan was unable to lay his eyes at the slender figure he was dreading as well as expecting to see, he continued to act his usual unreasonable antics, constantly pissing people off and angering them to death.
And during the entire event, Ren Yuan couldn't help but secretly felt disappointed despite trying not to.
Whitey didn't even write a single letter How heartless Why doesn't he write about a Big Thank You and give me an extremely wonderful reward for helping him out?
Just like finally dressing up in female clothes...
Huh Why does it felt like Whitey is skilled in being a scum man? Wait why am I even thinking like this?
So for the rest of the passing days, a certain annoying person continued to be confused with the constant thoughts emerging in his mind.
While at the same time, acting like a wife who was waiting to be remembered by her heartless husband.
Shortly, when the day had passed extremely peacefully, Shao Cheng had dressed up in the familiar snow-white robes that were sent by Ren Yuan, and at the same time, putting on the thick cloak he had received from his older sister.
"Teacher, can I ask where you are going today?"
Xiaolin who was respectfully standing by Shao Cheng's side while holding a tray with a rare wooden box on top of it couldn't help but curiously observe how his Teacher was dressed up beautifully.
Which made it easy for Xiaolin to easily figure out where his Teacher was going.
At least, he could predict who his Teacher was about to meet.
"I'm going to invite my special friend to come with us tomorrow."
Rather than inviting, Shao Cheng was going to take Ren Yuan along no matter what, since he and his entire family were going to be traveling to the most worshipped temple in the entire Chang Empire, which was built outside the Chang Capital.
It was time to meet the second person I had been wanting to see after coming back again and Ren Yuan's presence would also be needed.
"Ah, so Young Master Yuan is coming along with us. I'll quickly prepare the necessary items to bring along on our trip."
While Xiaolin had easily accepted the sudden addition of people on their trip the next day.
Shao Cheng opened a rare wooden box before picking out the silver mask specifically made for him to use, and gently put it on his face without hesitation.
It was a gift Ren Yuan had already prepared for him before the kidnapping event occurred.
It was the perfect time to use it since he already had a reasonable reason for why he would be wearing a silver mask starting from now on.
My beautiful face is really annoying and troublesome
At least, I can decrease the number of troubles I will encounter in the future especially after what has happened since some people would definitely be curious about my appearance.
It was also capable enough to make two people go crazy to go so far as to kidnap me despite knowing the powerful family I belong to.
"How is my appearance?"
Shao Cheng couldn't help but ask his little student while patting the long wide sleeves of his robes and gazing at the clear mirror.
As for the reason why he was even worried about how he looked, it was not for his face but the image he portrayed on the outside in people's eyes.
This should also work to pacify the man I had left hanging for days, he must be feeling uncomfortable and awkward right?
Aside from the thick coat, I got from my older sister, everything else was given by him.
"Young Master Yuan's taste is definitely perfect."
All the gifts he sends are luxurious, beautiful, and extremely rare, completely showing how much he likes you.
"I see, then I'll go out for a bit."
"Teacher Cheng, please take care."
