The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I’ll Follow You This Time Bl - Chapter 302

“…”

Ren Yuan’s open mouth instantly shut tight after noticing that the usually cold but clear sapphire pupils were obscure of complicated emotions, which was rare coming from the young man.

Even in the moments of depression and darkness Ren Yuan sometimes glimpsed from the young man, it wasn’t as heavy and dark as it is now. He even saw a hint of regret, guilt and grief before it disappeared completely with the young man returning back to his usual indifferent and cold appearance.

Ren Yuan wasn’t fooled by the quick change of appearance and is absolutely firm upon what he had seen rather than starting to doubt if it’s merely an imagination.

“Renshu… what did you do?”

Rather than showing the familiar grin, acting the usual unreasonable and annoying antics, Ren Yuan has solemnly turned his attention toward the young man sitting on the wheelchair, uncaring about revealing that there is an association between the two of them as he walked closer.

At the same time, he completely disregards the threatening and dangerous hands grasping Ling Renshu’s neck, completely focused on what is wrong with the young man that has shown such abnormal emotions.

More importantly, why is Whitey isn’t looking at me after turning his head away?

At the same time that Ren Yuan felt the weirdness of the young man, he couldn’t help but glance at the delicate hand on Lin Renshu’s neck, and suddenly felt a great amount of annoyance and irritation the longer he looked at it.

… Whitey is touching another man…

Ren Yuan understands that despite how indifferent the young man appeared from the surface, it doesn’t change the fact that the young man dislikes touching another person, particularly when it’s a stranger.

It was already a miracle how the young man is trying to get along with his family after many years of indifference.

A serious situation definitely occurred for Whitey to remain touching Renshu’s neck for so long!

“Young Master Yuan, can you please save my Young Master?”

At the sudden heavy voice, Ren Yuan didn’t deem to even glance at the pleading old servant and has chosen to stand on the young man’s side after walking inside the pavilion.

I don’t have time for that old man, I need to quickly comfort and pacify Whitey uncomfortable heart!

“Little Cheng, tell Brother Yuan what’s wrong. Did Renshu bully you? Or is his hypocritical face making you angry? Don’t worry, I always felt like beating him up whenever we had our secret discussion too.”

Ren Yuan didn’t even care about revealing the fact that there is another hidden connection with the young man sitting in the wheelchair, who was silently watching despite the dangerous hand that is still grasping his neck.

“Hey, why aren’t you speaking to Brother Yuan? Come on, look at me. I wasn’t even angry at you for suddenly leaving me behind when you promised to hang out for the entire day.”

Ren Yuan couldn’t help but take a step closer to Little Cheng and felt a bit offended when he saw how the young man has suddenly let go of the neck he was grasping before taking a few steps away from him.

“…”

Did I do something wrong??? Well, I lied about being angry… but it shouldn’t have caused such a reaction right? Oh, wait! Whitey can be petty-minded…

He suddenly remembered the days he dressed up as a female for the first time in his life and the rare occurrence of failure when trying to go against the young man that seemed to always win.

… Wait… This isn’t good, I shouldn’t always be the one losing… I should think of a plan on how to win later on… for now though….

Ren Yuan tried to calm down the uncomfortable emotion he felt after being ignored since it was more important to soothe and comfort the young man before he once again witnessed another round of whatever demon the young man has been keeping inside him.

Right, I’m the older one between us, I should be more patient and thoughtful… Sigh… It’s hard having a special friend… fortunately, I don’t plan to have another one…

“Alright, Brother Yuan was angry when you left, but I was really hoping to be with you after we haven’t seen each other for a while. Little Cheng, don’t ignore me… Or you don’t want Brother Yuan as your special friend anymore?”

Am I not special to you anymore???

Suddenly, Ren Yuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes from shock after that thought flashed in his mind before moving in a swift action tightly grabbing the young man’s long wide sleeves before gently tugging it.

He was completely acting anxious and careful, instead of simply grabbing the young man’s arms or shoulder. After all, the young man has taken a step away, which means that he can’t gamble and take the chance of being his usual touchy self.

… I am really such a thoughtful friend…

“No! Little Cheng can’t replace me! You promise that I would be the most special person to you! Damn, did some guy deceive you? Or Did Renshu speak ill about me?”

Lin Renshu, who suddenly received a sharp and threatening look, couldn’t help but feel speechless. At the same time, countless thoughts couldn’t help but flash on his mind, as he continues to watch the two men interact with each other.

Huh… this is a surprise… there seemed to be some truth about the gossip that had spread around in the Capital.

Cai’s third brother has suddenly become docile and well-behaved, showing such a harmless appearance after Ren Yuan’s appearance.

At the same time, Ren Yuan, who is usually hard to read and doesn’t seem to treat anything seriously all the time, is acting so unusual and felt so real after all the years we saw each other.

“Little Cheng, Brother Yuan promised to refrain from beating those brats all the time to save some of my remaining reputations. Maybe, one less day in a week? I also promise to go back home after visiting the red light district and won’t stay anymore. I will also be a filial son to my Old man and would share the delicious wines you made for me instead of showing it off.”

“…”

When Ren Yuan was about to go in the dramatic route, which for some reason felt so real rather than just a mere act, Shao Cheng could only sigh in his heart while trying hard to remove the previous life memories that had suddenly sprung up, completely disturbing his heart.

“Little Cheng, how about I try to cook rabbit dishes for you again? I promise that I have been practicing how to make delicious food! How about I take one of those evil creatures in your courtyard? They are so plump and healthy just like our Little Chen Yu, so I bet their meat will taste good!”

“No.”

Although the man can easily cause Shao Cheng to feel irritation and annoyance, always breaking the flawless mask on his face and constantly stirring his emotion despite having great control, it also doesn’t change the fact that the man can also make him feel happy.

Giving Shao Cheng the peace he rarely felt after transmigrating in the ancient world.

“… Ok, let’s keep those evil creatures. So, does Little Cheng still feel angry toward Brother Yuan?”

“I’m not angry.”

I just need a few moments to calm my mind in order not to overlap you with the previous life Ren Yuan, which I would never be able to forget. No… I simply don’t want to forget, because it just doesn’t feel right even though you are standing before me…

The same person but at the same time, will not become the same anymore. Because the difference of experiences will lead to a different person in my memories.

I am happy about our new chance, but at the same time, I am also saddened. Sometimes, I couldn’t help the thought that it would have been easier if you also remember our previous life.

How great would it be?

Shao Cheng’s heart and mind will always constantly go against each other as the previous life memories remain unforgettable.

“Will Little Cheng ignore Brother Yuan again in the future?”

“Yes.”

Although I started to like you, it also doesn’t change the fact that I also have the urge to beat you up. So ignoring you is one of the acts I can do to calm down my emotions.

“…”

“Pffft…”

Suddenly, the unexpected chuckle from Lin Renshu caused Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan’s attention to finally turn back to their surroundings.

While Ren Yuan started to give the young man in the wheelchair a bad attitude.

Shao Cheng made a quick observation around them and noticed how the paralyzed hidden guards in the ground had quietly gone back to their position after getting back the feeling in their bodies.

At the same time, the old servant remains tense while positioning himself in a spot where he can properly interfere if another round of dangerous situations occurred, in which Ren Yuan was also being treated the same alert way.

“Brother Yuan, is he your friend?”

After returning back to sitting in the chair, Shao Cheng turned his attention toward Ren Yuan and Lin Renshu’s interaction, and couldn’t help but feel that he seemed to have learned something he didn’t know in the previous life.

… I think… I had almost taken some important key that relates to Ren Yuan’s survival or what helped him in the previous life.

Shao Cheng couldn’t help but feel his eyelids twitching when there is a great possibility that this young man has given some important support in the dark toward the Ren Yuan situation in the previous life.

After all, he wasn’t completely sure and knew everything that happened in Ren Yuan’s life despite investigating it. There is bound to be important information he missed.

I should refrain from easily killing people that I haven’t dealt with in the previous life in order to not make serious mistakes.

What if I suddenly killed a person that had an important role in Ren Yuan’s safety and well-being in the previous life, causing great danger in this new life?

Although coming back is already a great miracle, there are also great disadvantages and trouble regarding rebirth.

“No, we just worked together for our own goal. Of course, I don’t have anything serious and just wanted to be in control of my situation, unlike this person. So don’t think anything suspicious alright? For example, wanting to rebel and stuff.”

Shao Cheng lip couldn’t help but twitch after hearing Ren Yuan denying the word ‘rebel’ after what happened in their previous life.

At the same time, Lin Renshu just silently shook his head after hearing Ren Yuan casually mentioning the word ‘rebel’ that could easily give them serious troubles.

“Well, how about I reveal a secret to show that Little Cheng is really my special friend?”

Shao Cheng suddenly saw the wide grin on Ren Yuan’s face sitting on his side, almost causing him to back away when the man’s face had gotten a bit closer.

“The Hundred Pavilion belongs to Renshu and me. Isn’t your Brother Yuan awesome? So just ask Brother Yuan if you need to know some dirt about some people. Most of them tend to come here to do their dirty business.”

Even Shao Cheng couldn’t help but feel surprised after hearing such important information while countless thoughts flash in his mind, comparing the one he knew in the previous life about the Hundred Pavilion.

Which had been taken down in a few years after an Imperial Prince caused some trouble, leading the management to change in hands.

… Was the Imperial Prince scheming to take the power hidden on it?

Unfortunately, Shao Cheng doesn’t have the full details on what occurred, so he was a bit clueless about the real situation in the Hundred Pavillion, only knowing that it is just among the hidden power spread in the Chang Capital.

“By the way… Little Cheng, let’s put the silver mask back in your face alright? I don’t want this sly fox to suddenly become interested in you after seeing how beautiful you are.”

It has been bothering me for a while now! How come Whitey doesn’t learn how troublesome and thought-provoking his face is? What if he got kidnapped again?

… I don’t mind helping out with that again though…
