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

"Cheng~"

"Little Cheng~"

"Cheng Cheng~"

Please shut up, that was what Shao Cheng wanted to simply vocalize off, however, he perfectly knew that he is unable to do that after finally deciding to become obedient, docile and simply kind because of the reason that has happened last night.

Ren Yuan being angry or not doesn't matter at all, after all, Shao Cheng has done something wrong and he needs to show it to his actions that he is repenting for his bad choice.

Shao Cheng won't allow himself to become selfish and will indulge in the man rather soft approach of what happened between them last night, what if he suddenly becomes entirely accustomed in just accepting and thinking that Ren Yuan might forgive himself every single time that Shao Cheng does something completely unacceptable?

That is why Shao Cheng will see fit that he can learn from the blunders he has just done, so right now, he couldn't lash out to the older man no matter how he desperately wanted to do it while the hands that have been holding the chopstick tighten up for a tiny little bit.

"Cheenngggggg~"

It doesn't help that Ren Yuan is being annoying more than ever, it felt like the man is a child that has eaten too much candy and was now being high from having too much sugar intake.

"Che Che~"

Yeah… calm down, take a deep breath, which Shao Cheng did, while making sure to quickly finish the breakfast for today while deciding about not cooking any special dish to Ren Yuan anymore.

After all, how can he do it when the older man is being more annoying than usual? Shao Cheng head throb once again, oh his poor mental health couldn't seem to take a break-even for a single minute.

"Yes, that right Cheng Cheng~ Eat all of your food like a good boy you are."

Chewing the food that he just places upon his mouth, Shao Cheng finally turned his attention to the opposite person sitting before him, which cause the older man to only smile widely while beaming back in pure happiness after getting his attention, Ren Yuan eyes practically lighting up before a long drawl of his name leave those pink lip.

Maybe that leap of faith Shao Cheng did has all been wrong all along? It definitely surely felt like a mistake right now though.

"Big Brother Yu Yu, please eat your food."

"Um! I'll listen to Little Cheng~"

With a twitch of his eyes, Shao Cheng watched as Ren Yuan become obedient and practically listen to what he just said and finally began to eat his breakfast, with an inward sigh, Shao Cheng finally got his much-needed silence.

Although, in the corner of his mind, he couldn't help but detect the two figure of Xing Ning and Tian Ying just standing outside the dining hall, while unable to neglect to notice about how their aura seemed to be slightly displaced and bothered, which cause Shao Cheng to finally remembered about what happened last night.

However, even knowing that there is a bit of doubt, suspicion, and uncertainty about what they think of him, Shao Cheng remains indifferent, his mind remaining calm while different kinds of plan flash on his mind as he thought about his continued performance since he doesn't want this problem to cause him from becoming in the inner group of Ren Yuan.

After all, Shao Cheng doesn't care about what they think about him, only Ren Yuan will forever the only person capable enough to mess up his thoughts and emotions in this new life, well aside Huang Ya and Chang Pei because of their previous life event.

Soon, Shao Cheng finally finishes eating the rest of the food in the table while ignoring Ren Yuan that has praised him about being a good boy since he can only let out a tired yawn, while his eyes blinking sleepily. After all, the problem has somehow been fixed enough that Ren Yuan wouldn't turn against him and decided to break their friendship, so he should just go take proper rest now.

After all, Shao Cheng is still physically a growing youth, monster change in his body or not, Shao Cheng wanted his sleep right now, and with that, he has stood up while nodding his head to Ren Yuan that has finally finish eating his food, still needing to show a proper manner of treatment no matter how annoying the man is.

"Big Brother Yu Yu, I'm really sleepy so I'll go back to my room to sleep."

Shao Cheng knew that he didn't need to explain the reason why, after all, the pale face, eye bags, and tired eyes already showed enough to Ren Yuan that he didn't sleep the entire night.

And Ren Yuan who heard Whitey words has nod his head in understanding before standing up himself and picking up the sleeping Little Chen Yu, such a lazy little wolf cub, that has been next by his side and placing it in the young man arms that showed a confused expression.

"I can't sleep with you right now since I still need to handle some important matters, so just take Little Chen Yu as a substitute in my place so you can sleep well, ok?"

Seeing the disbelief expression on the young man along with one of the raise of an eyebrow on what he has spoken, Ren Yuan roll his eyes before guiding the man to where the young man to his own room, after all, he got to make sure that the young man will sleep this time.

"Cheng Cheng~ Don't lie, I'm sure that you sleep better when I'm by your side."

"I'm not a child. I can sleep by myself."

Nodding his head to his two friends that have been waiting outside the dining hall the entire time, while inwardly planning to teach about his two friends to act normal more, after all, Ren Yuan still remember how sensitive and sharp Whitey can be.

Ren Yuan doesn't want to see the doubtful, skeptics and uncertainty on the young man's sapphire eyes once again, after all, from what he has comprehended, Whitey doesn't seem to have experience with having a close friend, which he is his first from what he heard.

As for Whitey family, well, from what happened last night before the situation has turned worse, the poor man seemed to have been close off for years and has been distant from his own family, Ren Yuan just hope that Whitey family isn't snobbish, scheming and a downright evil one.

It is well known that most people in the aristocrat family have problems and trouble in their own backyard, like infighting, plotting, favoritism and devising a plan to have more power, use, and value on the member in their family.

In which, Ren Yuan is still trying to comprehend which family the young man was born with, after all, he didn't much hear the name Cheng among the group of youth that he is acquaintance with and well, he usually has the latest information in the Capital and there is no mentioning of any Cheng among those that he read and heard about.

And from what little he knew about Whitey, the young man probably just travels a lot which is the main reason that he isn't well known in the Capital, and normal enough with no power, influence, and status that he isn't being discussed.

Which is a good thing to know, albeit, causing Ren Yuan a bit harder to figure out the young man complete identity.

Especially when it was worrying enough that the young man seemed to get deep into his own downward and a spiral of unease and confusion in a rather dangerous manner, particularly with the young man mental health since he goes straight to the negative thought as his first choice rather than the positive one, which was troubling.

Now the list that Ren Yuan will be keeping his eyes out on Whitey seemed to keep piling up, ah White is really troublesome, however, despite those thoughts on his mind, Ren Yuan lip couldn't help but raise up slightly in fondness.

And so, while swirling of thoughts flash on his mind, Ren Yuan finally open the door to the young man room and practically guiding him to lay down in the bed, while halfway covering him with the thick and silky blanket and making sure that Little Chen Yu is comfortably cradle in his arm.

"Sleep well Whitey, no need to worry about staying up late alright?"

Patting the head of the obedient and docile Whitey before him, Ren Yuan didn't mention about how compliant White currently was, but his eyes couldn't help but flash in amusement, certainly recognizing that this is probably some sort of repentance of the young man for what happened last night.

Which he rather likes, so he won't mention it at all since Ren Yuan know that this person will definitely cause trouble and annoyance again and will not last long, unfortunately, this certain part of the young man was something that Ren Yuan understands the most.

"My name is Cheng, why are you still calling me Whitey?"

Blinking his sleepy eyes, Shao Cheng shoots the man a questioning look which only a challenging raise of eyebrow answers him back.

"Well, why are you still calling me Big Brother Yu Yu? You can call me Brother Yuan you know?"

"..." Well, fair point. Shao Cheng just felt that calling the older man Big Brother Yu Yu felt special in some way, like they are extremely close so he doesn't really want to stop.

Does Ren Yuan feel the same then? With that thought, Shao Cheng just blinks his eyes before nodding his acceptance.

"Alright, you can still call me Whitey since I like calling you Big Brother Yu Yu."

With that, Shao Cheng finally closes his sleepy eyes, the man's presence completely making him sleep easier than usual, and soon, a steady and smooth breath escape his slightly parted lip, letting everyone knew that he was certainly sleeping.

And Ren Yuan who just heard the last words spoken by the younger man just shook his head before giving the young man head a last pat before turning around and leaving the room.

"Sleep well."
