The Emperor’s Runaway Lover

TW: somewhat sexual content, consent issues

Fu Yucheng opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he realized that he didn’t have anything to say.

Rong Yuan watched him tensely from up close. “Cat got your tongue? You have nothing you can use to explain yourself. What can you offer him, besides using your beautiful looks to please him? Why else would he be so devoted to you?”

Fu Yucheng replied in irritation, “Don’t speculate about other people using your dirty thoughts.”

“Dirty?” Rong Yuan sneered. “You both came and went from the Industrial Regions, living in the same room and sleeping on the same bed. He’s bitten the corners of your lips and covered your neck in dubious marks. He even carried you out of the transport, fearing that people would find out that you couldn’t even walk… You tell me yourself, what did you do?”

“You’ve been spying on me?” Fu Yucheng frowned.

“Since four years ago, after your disappearance, I have been sending people to follow Bai Mo… I thought that, since you spent so much effort on him, you’d come back sooner or later,” Rong Yuan muttered. “And turns out, you really did go find him.”

He paused, and then continued talking. “When did you two get together? At Fort Hurricane, at the Twilight Belt? What sort of dirty things did you two do in that wrecked car? At that time, he had just become an adult, were you that anxious to hold him? Tsk, Fu Yucheng, you pretended so much in front of me when you were in charge, and when you’re down it turns out that you’re capable of doing such a thing… You really make me sick.”

Fu Yucheng had already guessed that Rong Yuan had been tracking him. At that moment, he only thought that Rong Yuan was being completely unreasonable, so he said coldly, “You can think whatever you want.”

“So, I guessed it right?” Rong Yuan clenched his teeth involuntarily. He stared at Fu Yucheng and said softly, “I really don’t get it. He’s a monster born in a laboratory, not even a real person… What do you even like about him?”

Fu Yucheng didn’t want to bother with him.

Seeing that he did not say a word, Rong Yuan’s anger almost reached its peak, so he gently leaned towards the other man’s ear, and whispered humiliatingly, “He’s so young and knows nothing… did he fuck you until your breaking point without thinking about it twice? He’s an S-class monster, and you have lost your psionic power. Before him, you are as fragile as a porcelain doll, you can only let him wreck you wantonly… thinking about it, it’s really pitiful. Is your goal really worth paying that price?”

He paused, and then chuckled before continuing. “I’m different, I can be very gentle. Didn’t you like the Magnolia Pavilion in the Prince’s chambers? Recently, the magnolia flowers have just flowered, they’re really beautiful. I can take you there tonight, to that pavilion… if you can’t endure it anymore, just cry and beg for me to be gentle, and I’ll do my best to listen to you. You know, there’s nothing I fear more than your tears.”

Fu Yucheng knew that the man just wanted to irritate him, but he remained calm and composed, just sighing. “You weren’t like this before.”

Rong Yuan was stunned, and then he sneered. “Because, back then, I didn’t really know you.”

There were many people at the ball, and Fu Yucheng didn’t want to get entangled him any more. The waltz had just finished at that moment, so he pulled away and tried to leave.

Rong Yuan was quick and pulled him back. “So you want to leave? Have you forgotten about your teacher? And all the people around you? Do you want to get them killed?”

Fu Yucheng didn’t want to argue with him, so he said perfunctorily, “You have to give me some time to think about it.”

Rong Yuan replied coldly, “And what if I want you to come live in the White Rose Palace tonight?”

Fu Yucheng smiled. “Since we’ve known each other for so many years, then you should also know… I’m a man that can do just about anything when under pressure.”

Rong Yuan stared at him for a long time before slowly saying, “From today, you can’t let him touch you again… If I find out that he touched you again, I will skin him alive. If you promise me to follow that condition, I will give you one week.”

Fu Yucheng thought about the time of the pledge ceremony and said, “One month.”

Rong Yuanhan insisted. “One week.”

Fu Yucheng said casually, “One month. I never bargain.”

Rong Yuan stared at the other man, his chest heaving. He wanted to say more, but suddenly there was a strong burst of power, and Fu Yucheng was pulled away harshly.

Bai Mo yanked the man over and stared at Rong Yuan coldly.

Although Fu Yucheng was suppressing his psionic power, his senses were still extremely keen. He immediately noticed that the pressure caused by the superimposed S-class psionic fields in the air was going up sharply like the rising tide of the sea, and it was about to start burning up.

And that moment was really not a good place for a fight.

He pulled at Bai Mo. “Let’s go.”

Bai Mo stared at Rong Yuan very fiercely, the hatred in his eyes almost solidifying, and Fu Yucheng pulled at him several times before he finally followed reluctantly.

As soon as the two had walked away a few steps, Rong Yuan suddenly said, “Wait.”

Fu Yucheng stopped helplessly. “What else do you want?”

Rong Yuan walked over slowly, took Fu Yucheng’s hand, and, after pulling a rose-shaped diamond button from his collar, he forced it into the other man’s hand. “This button will allow you to enter and leave the White Rose Palace freely. Once you figure things out, within a month, just take it and come see me at… the usual spot. Don’t forget.”

Fu Yucheng slipped the button into his pocket and said perfunctorily, “Got it.”

Rong Yuan stared at him, and suddenly softened his voice, “I’ll wait for you to come home.”

This guy… he was deliberately trying to make Bai Mo angry.

Fu Yucheng frowned and looked at Rong Yuan. He wanted to say something, but then Bai Mo reached his limit and pulled him hard, forcing him to walk out.

Outside the gate, Bai Mo rudely stuffed the man into a floating car. He sat down beside Fu Yucheng and looked out the car window all the way back without saying a word.

“Pah!” With a crisp sound, his hand was smacked away harshly.

Fu Yucheng couldn’t help the awkward boy, and there were many unpleasant thoughts in his heart, so he silently retracted his hand and stared out of the window.

After a long time, Bai Mo sneaked a glance at him from the corner of his eye. Fu Yucheng looked like a lost wandering soul, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

 

When Bai Mo pondered about what the man might be thinking about, he felt his breathing speed up.

I’ll wait for you to come home…the usual spot…

What ‘usual spot’?

Why are they so familiar?

Come home? Fuck you.

Bai Mo forced his breathing down, and when he got to his place, he directly dragged Fu Yucheng up, pulling the man without saying a word and striding into the house.

He almost looked like he was dying, and Fu Yucheng couldn’t help but feel irritated, so he threw his hand off. “That’s enough, I can walk by myself.”

Bai Mo turned his head, gritted his teeth and stared at him for a long time before asking, “Did you ask me to take you to the masquerade just to see him?”

Bai Mo’s words weren’t completely off. Fu Yucheng thought for a while, then said, “I did really want to see him, but…”

Before he finished speaking, Bai Mo could not bear to hear any more. “Enough.”

“Little Mo, listen to me…” Fu Yucheng said helplessly.

Bai Mo interrupted him immediately. “Since… since that man showed up, your eyes have been stuck to him, and you never looked at me even once… I brought you a pastry and you were dancing with him. He spent the entire time whispering into your ear and you didn’t push him away… What else do you want to say?”

The young man’s chest heaved up and down, and even the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

Fu Yucheng rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a headache coming. “I have nothing to do with him. Calm down.”

Bai Mo gritted his teeth and said, “How do you want me to calm down?! He asked you to go to the White Rose Palace to find him, what does that mean?! He also said, when you ‘come home’… How dare he, how dare he say that?! You accepted his button, are you really planning to go to him?! Tell me!!”

Fu Yucheng couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “I didn’t want to fight with him in that kind of public event! Can you be a little more mature?!”

“Didn’t want to fight? Really?” Bai Mo stared at Fu Yucheng, his voice a little shaky. “But why do I feel that you’ve just been giving me excuses and refusing to accept me because of… him? You asked me to bring you to the Ecoregions, was that because you wanted to reunite with him once more…? Is everything you promised me before… is it all false? Are you… using me?”

Fu Yucheng didn’t even understand how he had twisted things to finally arrive to this genius conclusion. He couldn’t help but run a hand through his hair in irritation. “I haven’t been giving you excuses, much less taking advantage of you. I’ve already told you before. Once I’m done with something, I will give this thing between us a serious thought. Wait for a while, and I will definitely give you an answer…”

“I don’t believe you! I can’t wait any longer!” Bai Mo snarled, interrupting the other party.

" "

“Then what do you want?!” Fu Yucheng simply didn’t know how to handle him.

Bai Mo took a few breaths, and suddenly leaned forward, pressing the man onto the sofa. “Will you… will you give it to me? If you give it to me, I’ll believe you…” he said in a trembling voice.

Fu Yucheng glared at him, feeling his mind go blank for a moment.

What sort of nonsense is this kid talking about?

What is he saying?!

Fu Yucheng stayed still for a few seconds. He didn’t react until the other started to pull at his clothes. He pushed the other away fiercely and said full of anger, “Bai Mo, what’s wrong with your head?! What sort of crazy thing are you trying to do?!”

According to usual experience, Bai Mo would become obedient when Fu Yucheng shouted his full name like that.

But that day, he didn’t know what was going on, and the kid just turned things around and reluctantly continued to hold him, saying in a quiet voice, “You ignore me every day. I don’t even know which one of your words is true or false… You’ve had such a history with him, you dance with him, and you still have an ‘usual spot’ where you two go meet. I don’t know what you’ve done together before, and I… I have nothing, what do you want me to think?!”

Having said that, his eyelids went red, and then he threw himself at the other and kissed him with abandon.

Fu Yucheng felt irritated again, so angry he could have laughed. The other man kissed his cheeks and ears mindlessly, biting and licking almost in a panic, like a starving man gnawing flesh and bones. The kid seemed to be holding his hands and feet to prevent him from resisting, and there was almost no room for escape.

Fu Yucheng was restrained and kissed, feeling the other’s cool and slender fingers rudely and eagerly groping around, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

This can’t continue.

He stretched out his right hand hard, and his fingertips touched the coffee table next to him. There was a cold and hard object on it–a glass paperweight, very suitable for smashing people.

Fu Yucheng hesitated. The other was holding his wrist tightly, and he could feel the rough scar on the inside of the other’s wrist.

Four years ago, they had run out of the water in the desert, and Bai Mo had fed him blood from his wrist, leaving these ugly scars.

Fu Yucheng closed his eyes and finally set down the glass paperweight in his hand.

He thought about it for a moment, and then formed a plan. He tried his best to tilt his head to the side to prevent the other from kissing him. Bai Mo kept trying several more times, but he avoided him by moving from side to side.

The young man looked down at him, the line of his jaw tightening. “Don’t you… don’t you want to make out with me?”

Fu Yucheng looked at the other, coaxing him with a soft voice. “Kissing is not like this… I’ll teach you.”

Bai Mo blinked, confused. Before he could react, Fu Yucheng raised his head slightly, bit his lower lip lightly, then pulled at it, and licked it gently.

The other’s sudden enthusiasm made Bai Mo freeze up. For an instant, he felt as if a burst of electricity ran from his back to his head, and he involuntarily relaxed his hold, wanting more and to go further.

Seeing him distracted, Fu Yucheng took the opportunity to push violently and threw him directly to the floor.

Bai Mo sat on the floor in a daze, as if still reminiscing about the kiss that felt like a hallucination.

But he reacted right away. “You… you lied to me again!”

Fu Yucheng replied harshly. “That’s not lying. Can a kiss be a lie? If you don’t like it, I won’t do it in the future, that’s it.”

Bai Mo pursed his lips, and he seemed to feel a little softness and wetness on his mouth.

“It’s not that I don’t…” He paused, disheartened, and asked again, “Then, what about Rong Yuan?”

Fu Yucheng stared at him speechlessly for a moment, and then rubbed his eyebrows feeling extremely pained–Heavens, why did we go around a big circle and come back to this again?

But, why on Earth should I explain it to him?

But if I don’t explain anything, how can I do this?

I must really have been indebted to him in a previous life…

Damn, if I just let this kid go ahead and do me, it wouldn’t take so much talking… Fu Yucheng felt taken aback at his own thoughts and he quickly put a stop to that line of thought.

Bai Mo whispered, “Has he kissed you too? Did he touch you? After all, does he… does he like you?”

If he had asked yesterday, Fu Yucheng would have been able to deny it all without hesitation. But today, thinking about Rong Yuan’s load of bullshit, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Bai Mo stared at him. “So that’s it.”

Fu Yucheng reluctantly explained, “He may like me, but we haven’t had that kind of relationship.”

Bai Mo looked at him, obviously not convinced. “He gave you his sentience weapon, he danced with his arms around you, and you two talked very closely for a long time. And he said… that he was waiting for you to come home.”

Fu Yucheng glared at him, and then realized that the situation was really fucking hard to explain.
