After arriving in the hideout, Shao Cheng has pulled Ren Yuan over toward the place that they will be sleeping for tonight while ignoring the gazes that have followed their figures before tilting his head toward the direction of his older brother when Ren Yuan saw him turning around to leave.

"Ah… alright, I'll wait for you. Come back quickly Whitey, I want to sleep soon so."

Nodding his head to Ren Yuan that has let out a sleepy yawn, Shao Cheng finally let go of the other person's hand before turning around to placate his overreacting older brother while inwardly sighing about how unusual the people around him were.

Crazy and insane cousin, an older brother that seemed to react weirdly around him and his older brother childhood friend that has been giving them strange gazes after they arrive back.

What is with that gaze he is receiving from Yu Qin anyway? It's not like Ren Yuan and he has done such shameful actions while they are away, didn't Yu Qin know about it since he has been watching the entire time?

Inwardly shaking his head at the crazy new life of his, Shao Cheng has finally reached over to Shao Yan that was acting so out of it while having an empty gaze the whole time before raises his hand to gently pat on his older brother head which seemed to promptly snap back to his senses while his dark blue eyes widen in astonishment which has somehow turned into a teary touching gaze.

"Brother goodnight."

As soon as he spoke those words out, Shao Cheng has swiftly knocked his older brother without any hesitation before turning to the wide eye Yu Qing that has instantly become tense, seemingly waiting for his next moves.

"Watch over him."

Really, if Shao Yan can sleep properly tonight, he would have never thought of knocking him out, after all, there will be a harsh and difficult battle happening soon, and his older brother needed all the strength required for the confrontation that will be occurring later.

Since from what he observed so far, his older brother seemed to react strangely whenever he interacted with Ren Yuan.

Is that really surprising to be a tiny bit closer to another person? It's not like he was kissing Ren Yuan which should be the most shocking scene for his older brother to witness.

Sighing once more, Shao Cheng decided to just ignore the weird people around him, or else he will just get a headache from trying to figure it out every single time they showed strange behavior.

As for the completely unconscious Xixi, well, Shao Cheng knew that she will be alright so there is no need for him to worry about it. So after taking care of his older brother certain problem, he quickly went back to Ren Yuan only to find himself standing rooted in the spot, while his lip twitches up a bit.

"Come here."

Rustle sound of clothes, Shao Cheng watched as Ren Yuan once more made a rather scandalous pose while showing a charming smile, what the hell with this man problem, that thought couldn't help flash on his mind since Shao Cheng has once more proceeded back to his usual indifferent and cold expression.

Should he feel grateful that at least Ren Yuan has proper clothes on right now?

Anyway if this man tried to show that exposed skin and long slender legs from before when everyone is secretly watching them right now then Ren Yuan can bet that Shao Cheng will deliver a lesson and punishment to make the man act in proper conduct.

Really, why does Shao Cheng needed to teach this man about how to keep his behavior in check? Oh yeah, he remembers now because most of the people will salivate on this man's appearance that could easily fascinate everyone around him.

Though… should he give this man a lesson right now?

Inwardly raising his eyebrows, Shao Cheng decided to play along and started to slowly remove his outer robe, causing the playful and amusing man that seemed to have decided to get back at him from the embarrassing tickling actions he has caused a few moments ago to widen his eyes in bewilderment.

"Cheng! W-What are you doing?"

Showing a confused look at the man question, Shao Cheng didn't stop his movement even when Ren Yuan scrabble over toward him in a flustered manner while glaring dangerously at the people around them that have been secretly watching the entire time.

Really his older brother got a gossiping people.

"Don't we usually sleep this way?"

Somehow Shao Cheng heard a scandalous gasp somewhere while unbeknown to him a certain perverted purple dragon has learned it lesson this time and remain silent as he watches in darkness with glittering eyes at the amusing situation that slowly turning ambiguous.

"Stop it Cheng! There are people watching you! Put your clothes back on!"

Really this person overreacts and gets protective just as he predicted, first asking him to wear that veil from before, and now when he was just going to remove his outer robe causes the man to become easily flustered and showing sharp look to where their guards for the night is standing at.

Anyway, it's not like Shao Cheng is going to be completely naked so he doesn't get what the big deal was.

"... we are all men."

"Really, your so troublesome!"

Frowning a bit at the frustrated and irritating reaction from the man, Shao Cheng reply back in equal emotion although in mostly colder voice rather than the loud sound that Ren Yuan acted out.

"Well, you are so annoying."

"...!"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng finds himself being pulled into warm arms and lifted up, before feeling his body being swiftly placed downward while intimately close to the other person body as they lay down together in the makeshift bed that is big enough to fit their two figure if they tightly lean with each other.

"Sleep! We can sleep this way! No need to remove your robes! Well, ifs the two of us only then you're allowed to do that..."

"Hm, really…"

Gently rubbing face to the flush slender throat before him, Shao Cheng like the smooth silky feeling he felt on the man skin causing a contented sigh to escape his lip making Ren Yuan that has been embracing Whitey the entire time to shudder from the warm breath that has gently ghost over his skin before tightening his grip upon the young man and pulling him a bit more closer.

"Come on… stop your ticklish actions and sleep now."

"Ok… Goodnight Yuan."

Even if Shao Cheng ears isn't pressed on the older man's chest, he was still able to hear the fast-beating heart of Ren Yuan causing his eyes to narrow down in satisfaction before being easily lured into a contented sleep as the man presence doesn��t fail to ease his constantly weary self that is deeply being weighted of the previous life mistakes, blunder, and errors.

Hearing the steady breathing of the young man before him, Ren Yuan that was still awake let out a complicated sigh, before gently stroking the young man head that further borrowed itself into his arms, causing a soft smile to appear on his face, peach blossom grey eyes brimming with an unknown emotion.

"Goodnight Cheng."

For the rest of the night, Ren Yuan who knows that he was in a dangerous situation despite how at ease he seemed to act the whole time has completely remain awake, being alert, and wary for any danger that might abruptly appear while their guard is lower down and surprising them from battling back.

Especially, when Ren Yuan is unable to keep himself thoroughly relax when there is a particular person that he needed to protect right now, in which Yu Qin request coming second to his priority after learning that Cheng was also in danger.

"... really… so troublesome…"

"... annoying…"

Freezing over at the soft voice spoken by the person on his arms cause Ren Yuan to slowly gaze down only for an amused smile to appear on his face after learning that the young man was just sleep talking, well, answering to his words while asleep.

With a slight shake of his head, Ren Yuan let out a sigh of contentment at the slightly cold body over his which felt good to his touch before placing his face over the man head, eyes closing for a break in which he smells the familiar scent of the fresh clean air which is also mixed with numerous herbs now.

Somehow the cold feeling and the confusing scent don't make him feel loathsome in which Ren Yaun just felt completely at ease by the young man's presence.

Well… I think I have taken a liking of you more than ever since it's hard for me to even like someone that presented me with a pleasant feeling… then I'll continue treating you with exceptional care alright?

And somewhere in the distance while Ren Yuan and Shao Cheng lay down together, a certain young master that has learned of his missing darling pet has thrown a cold fit of anger, entirely feeling humiliated from his boastful manner from before when no result was shown from his actions.

While Master Dong who has learned about the missing birds has started to check the map that has been created based on their search so far before a cold smile appeared on his face as he gazes upon a particular spot with a ruthless glint on his eyes.

"There is no need to worry Young Master Jia. Your pet has given us an excellent clue."

Jia that has a completely red face from anger and embarrassment has finally taken a deep breath to control himself before nodding his head at Master Dong recognition despite the fact that all he wanted to do is rip apart those people that have the courage to even kill his darling pet while making him become an embarrassment.

Seeing as his young master has at least gained control over his emotion, Dong turned his attention at the pale face young man that has been silent the entire time as he stood there without making a single movement.

"Dai, now that you are awake, please speak about what happened before, don't leave a single detail out."

"Yes… Master Dong."
