Meeting the serious peach blossom grey eyes of Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng's other thoughts were promptly thrown away when he perceived the worried and concern emotion upon the man's darkened eyes.

"I use my special power."

Shao Cheng can only use that explanation, after all, if someone were to check his internal energy which is slightly higher than normal then there is no way that a person like him can easily manage to deal with all those people from before.

In martial arts, a person's internal energy is the foremost important one that matters the most especially with the thickness, pureness, quantity, and the quality of the energy in which can easily able to determine how a person can fare against another martial art person.

And in this world, Shao Cheng's body has so enormously potential that he can become a grandmaster if he trained enough, but for now, though Shao Cheng felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the tighten expression on Ren Yuan face after he has spoken those words out.

"... that doesn't make it better…"

Why?

Shao Cheng doesn't know why is this person reacting this way, especially when he know what he is doing the whole time, because even if he doesn't fear death anymore, nonetheless, there is no way that he will allow himself to die so easily.

Ren Yuan noticing the confusion that fleetingly flashes upon those cold sapphire eyes has caused a frustrated groan to escape his lip, because this person is completely dense and oblivious.

Before easily perceiving the flicker of annoyance that appeared on the young man's sapphire eyes, something that Ren Yuan has been able to read and perceive in that always cold and indifferent expression.

After everything that happened and experiencing this person's troublesome personality, Ren Yuan can't be fooled so easily now.

"Can you take care of yourself more?"

Don't make me keep worrying about you.

Really, even I couldn't help but want to always keep you by my side now, worrying about suddenly finding yourself in trouble when I am not watching over you.

Letting out a deep sigh, Ren Yuan raises his hand to flick the young man nose, causing Shao Cheng to wrinkle it in annoyance that a slight smile has appeared on Ren Yuan lip for a bit before his grey pupil deepened up while leaning over in order to make sure that his statement is clearly heard.

And with his movement, Ren Yuan wet strands of long hair has gently grace upon the white cheeks of the young man that has already gotten a tint of pink color because of the warm temperature of the hot water around them.

While seeing the young man has remained silent with calm sapphire pupils that seemed to swirl with mysterious fog, looking entirely unknown and mysterious, unable to tell what he is truly thinking despite having slight warm steam surrounds their two wet figures.

Inwardly sighing at the young man lack of reactions, Ren Yuan probably needs to keep repeating it since he already knew that this person sure has a stubborn attitude, extremely difficult to make him listen up while preferring to solve the problem by himself while without even trying to share the burden and responsibility to other people.

Basically a pain in the ass, which he still found interesting to get along with.

"Alright, you mention that I'm special to you right? Then listen up, since I save your life, you are not allowed to easily place yourself in danger, much less think of sacrificing yourself alright? Frankly, don't ever do that."

I can't promise you that… Shao Cheng wanted to speak those words out only to abruptly stop when he saw the darkness lurking underneath that seriousness in the man's eyes that Shao Cheng can only keep those thoughts inside him.

"I'll try…" that is all I can give you, after all if there is a chance that I have to choose my life over yours, I will definitely sacrifice mine without any question.

At least, I don't want to lie about that certain important matter to you.

"Damn it… so stubborn and troublesome!"

Scratching his hair with frustration at the answer he receives, Ren Yuan has placed one of his hands in the young man shoulder which seemed to have too much force that Shao Cheng robes in the other side have abruptly slid down causing a wide slender shoulder to be exposed along with a white chest.

And Ren Yuan's eyes couldn't help but glance down upon it and suddenly noticing that the young man's body has somewhat changed because did Cheng really look that slender before?

Shao Cheng sure has regained some more meat in his body despite the dangerous situation that they have experiences for days, and it has become even more firmer and smoother too, along with the flexible feeling upon his hand that continues to touch that warm and wet slender shoulder.

"Look up."

Coughing, while trying to force down the embarrassed flush that is trying to appear on his face, Ren Yuan has once more met the young man's eyes while trying really hard to stop himself from glancing away when those sapphire eyes started to scrutinize him.

Damn, why is he embarrassed all a sudden? Isn't he just looking at Cheng's exposed shoulder? It's not like he didn't see it already ok!?

He was just curious about the sudden change from what he remembers that he has stared longer than usual!

Urgh…why is he thinking about this reason anyway!

One more time, Ren Yuan becomes serious as he tried teaching the young man a lesson to follow up when something happens next time again, hopefully though, since he can just wish and dream that this person will miraculously become obedient.

"Alright, Cheng, then come to me! If you need help or you are about to do something dangerous, then look for me! Any problems you have, just find me because I'll help you deal with it, no need to do everything all yourself alright?"

Don't go running to a place I don't know of! It might be too late when I find you and couldn't help deal with the problem anymore!

Seeing the straightforward and honest emotion brimming in that dark grey pupil of Ren Yuan, the doubt inside his heart couldn't help but wave a bit, after all, Shao Cheng perfectly knew what kind of a person this man is.

Everything is confusing, chaotic, and downright unbelievable right now because this incredible amount of trust and concern is something that Shao Cheng didn't predict to have so early on.

The sudden genuineness of attitude and manner of this person has truly bewildered and astonished Shao Cheng that he is unable to stop questioning this person, although he is happy, but it truly is suspicious because how could it be so easy?

"Why are you being so kind to me?"

It is not even a month since Shao Cheng appears in this world, and much less of two weeks with the two of them interacting, and even though he has worked hard to get Ren Yuan trust and belief, but everything is absolutely unbelievable right now.

After all, Shao Cheng perfectly knew that Ren Yuan doesn't have any romantic feelings toward him anymore and as for first love, at first sight, idea Shao Cheng doesn't believe that kind of nonsense or more likely unable to believe it.

He has experienced such a harsh and difficult life, so he is now a bit skeptical about it.

And besides, this man has never been this kind, considerate and courteous.

Shao Cheng will never forget what kind of a person Ren Yuan is, if Ren Yuan is so kind, gentle and thoughtful then Shao Cheng would have never lost so many excellent people by this person's hands,

He would have never struggle hard to survive and protect the people he has cared for by this person plot and scheme.

He would have never become ruthless to sacrifice and cruelly throw away the people that have truly respect and believe in him.

Frankly, Shao Cheng has suffered more by this person's hand, although, he doesn't know about when did Ren Yuan has fallen in love with him in the previous life, but at the beginning of their struggle of conflict, it was truly a genuine one.

It has been a harsh, ruthless, and violent struggle with the intent to kill each other.

"Why…?"

Repeating those question, Ren Yuan examined the serious sapphire pupil that straightforwardly met his with a rather unyielding emotion that genuinely wants an answer from him.

"Well, I don't know why."

How can I know? It is the first time I felt this way to another person, especially when at a young age, there is always this feeling inside me that everything seemed surreal to the entire world, peoples, and sometimes myself that it is quite hard to truly become close to others.

"..."

Seeing the dumbfounded expression on the young man's face, Ren Yuan somehow felt that he has won something for causing that emotion to appear on Shao Cheng's face before continuing on with a simple and normal wide smile.

"Well, I just know that you are special to me. It might be the same way that you are feeling since you stated that I am special to you right? So, all I want right now is to take care of you, isn't that simple enough reason?"

I feel some connection to you, in the entire world, I only feel this way to you, especially when making me feel all these newfound emotions that I have never experienced before, so how can I just let you disappear so easily in my life?

"So, Little Cheng~ Don't die on me alright?"
