As the morning day turned into evening, a figure dress in snow-white robes remains sitting in a sandalwood chair with his back straight while a cup of tea that has long been cold places on top of the table next to him, along with a delicate open box filled with delicately bake pastries.

While there is a slightly golden and orange sunlight bathing the young man figure from the open window, however, the warmth and soothing beautiful scenery felt completely different from the other people inside the room.

Because Pengfei along with the brother and sister sitting in the farthest distance doesn't dare to even breathe loudly, completely fearing to break the stifling stillness that has been occurring after the young man in a snow-white robe has arrived.

"Heh…"

And after a few hours of silence, a soft sound has finally echoed out, breaking the eerie silence that has been plaguing the entire room.

Before the young man with the familiar cold atmosphere around him has suddenly reached over to take one of the numerous pastries laying in a beautiful red jade plate and raising it over toward his thin pale lip.

One by one, the pastries that have been carefully baked so early in the morning and were meant to be eaten by the missing person have disappeared silently into the young man's stomach.

And with a graceful movement, Shao Cheng usually clear and cold sapphire eyes have deepened a shade darker while taking out a silk handkerchief stored on inside his long wide sleeves before gently wiping his delicate fingers.

After Shao Cheng was done, he didn't forget to reach over to hold the cup of hot tea that has already turned cold for a while before taking a calm sip upon it without any change in his expression.

Every movement was smooth and calm, having the full flavor of a scholarly jade young man with the best etiquette, appearing entirely pleasing to the eyes, especially when there was also a hint of natural noble and dignified aura around him that felt like it was something he was born with rather than learning from a young age.

Nonetheless, Pengfei, Li Shi, Li Mingzhu inwardly felt the danger of the entire situation even after witnessing such a pleasing and amazing spectacle, the appreciation they secretly felt was quickly pushed away from fear.

The whole time, all of their body has been in high alert! There was no denying that the mood of the beautiful young man in snow-white rob is in a terrible state despite having no change in his familiar expression.

Their instinctual response regarding danger is absolutely strong when facing the young man sitting in the same room with them.

And when the light tap of the teacup being put down in the table echoed out, Pengfei, Li Shi, Li Mingzhu felt their heart skipping faster, fortunately, the young man didn't do anything else and has just stood up from the sandalwood chair before casually caressing his white long sleeves in a gentle movement.

"Pengfei, I'll handle another matter in a few days while waiting for Li Shi and Li Mingzhu father news. Inform me when I'm needed."

Although Shao Cheng has been sitting for a few hours, it was enough rest without any sleep, besides there are also many people handling the matter of the two siblings so he will focus more on the Ma Family.

However, the entire time that he was speaking, a familiar figure in fiery crimson robes couldn't help but flash in his mind, however, his voice has remained calm and steady without any up and down on his emotion before finally turning around and leaving after he was done.

And PengFei who finally manage to get the courage to open his mouth couldn't help but mention the entire reason of the heavy stillness that has been happening for a few hours, after all, he couldn't hold his curiosity anymore, particularly when he knows for a fact that there is only one person enough to cause such a strong emotion toward his Icy Friend.

"How about your forever friend?"

The one that stupidly and ignorantly accepted being friendzone… of course, Pengfei would never mention that even though he is brave enough to ask his icy friend the cause of his bad mood just a moment ago.

It was a wrong move to do however Pengfei's curiosity won in the end despite the oppressive and stifling situation that they experience for the entire day.

"... If he comes back, there is no need to wait or look for me."

Shao Cheng's calm step didn't even stop and falter for a split second when Ren Yuan was mentioned, much less having any change on his expression as he continues to walk away without showing that he was greatly affected by the annoying man that didn't appear after waiting early in the morning until evening.

However, every one of them know that there is a dark storm inside him.

Nonetheless, Shao Cheng didn't mention or discussed Ren Yuan's offer of help about dealing with Li Shi and Li Mingzhu's situation because no matter what, there is no denying that he wholeheartedly trust his ability and believe in the important promise of helping him.

Ren Yuan wouldn't fail and present him a problem because of the broken promise yesterday.

The man might have the appearance of being an unreasonable person and couldn't be trusted to handle important matters but once Ren Yuan promise to handle a situation, he would seriously and decisively deal with the problem.

Just like the promise in the previous life, Ren Yuan is a man of his word when it comes to extremely important and delicate matters.

Nonetheless, Shao Cheng that is standing at the familiar courtyard where the two of them have split up to deal with their own responsibility yesterday couldn't help but finally let out a deep sigh, the soft sound carrying a bit of a grieving emotion which he was unable to detect.

Shao Cheng only know that he was a bit disappointed that Ren Yuan didn't appear after he has sent out a letter to inform him that he was going to be in the hideout today, after all, the pastries he works so hard to bake for him was going to be a bit surprise.

In the end, it was all for naught and it ends up in Shao Cheng's stomach, however, he could also understand the reason why the man didn't show up.

Ren Yuan is also disappointed, after all, Shao Cheng didn't receive any reply back when he knows that the man has definitely received the letter.

Although the man has a personality that is hard to predict and wasn't the least bit afraid to show numerous emotion and action even if it look absurd in other people eyes, but Shao Cheng is a bit surprised that the man is sulking.

Shao Cheng could already perceive that Ren Yuan is sulking and in a bad mood after the broken promise, however, he couldn't hate or dislike the man at all and could only let out a deep sigh to release his disappointment.

Honestly, though, Shao Cheng wasn't sad by Ren Yuan's action since from the beginning it was also his fault for breaking the promise between them.

For the betterment of the relationship between the two of them, especially regarding their personality and attitude in the previous life that cause complication of their interaction, be it in misunderstanding, bad impression, and just simply being against each other because of their different opinion and views, one of them has to back away, give a chance to explain the situation or a moment to fix whatever is causing their complications.

And Shao Cheng knows that he needed to be the one to bent his back, be flexible and just downright understanding, after all, he is the one that is going to be following Ren Yuan in this new life.

Although, Shao Cheng understands that there will be a time that he might have trouble since the previous life habit of dealing with a situation will definitely get him in trouble or complication once in a while.

"Look at the two of us now…"

Shao Cheng's new life is a wonder, he doesn't dare to be angry, even willing to carefully entertain Ren Yuan by carefully baking pastries with careful and meticulous thought of what will make him happy and please.

While the Ren Yuan in this life was out there sulking because of just being unable to fulfill his promise.

Well, this new life is far better, at least, the two of them weren't fighting and trying to kill each other like usual right?

Letting out another sigh that contains complicated emotion, Shao Cheng has finally taken out a clothe mask and quickly wearing it before leaping up with the light tap of his feet and disappearing in the distance.

Although, when Shao Cheng was rushing somewhere, he couldn't stop the darkening of his sapphire pupil, after all, he dislikes the thought of Ren Yuan ignoring or running away from him.

It happens in the past before, so did Ren Yuan forget it too? Or did he want to be tickle again?

Ren Yuan is asking for it with the way he is acting now...

However, since it is Shao Cheng's first mistake, he will let the man continue his sulking for a few days more since he also doesn't have the time to go hunt him down.

And if Ren Yuan is still hiding and doesn't want to appear when he is done then Shao Cheng can only go hunt him down, as for what will happen later will depend on his mood.

As for gently coaxing Ren Yuan… sorry but what is that?

Shao Cheng doesn't have that skill, at least, he never did it to another person since the thought that comes to his mind first is the fact that isn't that action meant for a lover?

Besides, Shao Cheng cooking and baking food for Ren Yuan to specifically eat is already enough, somehow, the thought of coaxing was his bottom line that shouldn't be cross.
