"... Ah… Little Cheng… is so bad…"

Shao Cheng felt his eyelid twitches when of all things, he can hear the excitement in the man's voice after giving him one of the medicines that honestly works well the more painful it was to the injured person.

It was something, he created for punishing the stubborn and uncooperative patients during the time he was training with his Master.

Damn… are you a masochist? Is that it?

"I'm going to sleep."

Shao Cheng has quickly put the indifferent and cold expression on his face, although his eyes couldn't help but show some tiredness within it, completely giving up with the man troublesome reactions that have lately been causing him great stress and trouble.

And so, after pulling the blanket on his body, Shao Cheng has quickly turned his back away from the noisy man and closing his eyes, trying really hard to forget the man firm and smooth skin that easily causes his fingers to shake just from remembering it.

Before further pulling the blanket all the way up that it almost covers his face when the image of Ren Yuan perfectly naked upper body keeps flashing in his mind, especially the rather eyecatching red two dots that he would have easily disregarded in the past.

Damn…. Damn… Damn…

"Ah… Little Cheng, make sure to take medicine tomorrow, don't think I didn't notice that you got hurt again after using your internal energy."

Ren Yuan has casually scratched his longer hair and has one more making a mess out of it while glancing at the quiet young man with his back turned away from him, which has instantly caused his lip to curl up in a playful smile.

… this person goes quiet whenever he acted in that way…. How cute… well, he should be an understanding friend and allow the young man to let out his stress once in a while, after all, Whitey is still young and there wasn't any maliciousness and deep meaning behind his actions.

Besides, he doesn't dislike it so why should he tell him to stop? Especially when the young man rarely feels awkward and embarrass...

Ren Yuan's shoulder shook trying really hard to hold his laughter, knowing fully well that the young man will definitely kick him out in the bed because of feeling embarrass and appalled from being reminded of what he has done.

Soon, Ren Yuan has slowly worn the crimson robes back in his body before pulling the corner of the blanket and quickly snuggling inside and hugging the young man from behind, who remain docile without showing any struggle against his actions.

… see, every time the young man does something wrong, he becomes extremely obedient and docile...

"Alright, Brother Yuan will be nice today."

After a quick check of internal energy from the young man's body, Ren Yuan has softly released a relief breath before closing his eyes and hugging the comfortable pillow closer in his arms, and during this quiet time, somehow, he couldn't help but wish that time itself will stop.

Such a peaceful and meaningful time is really rare and precious to experience.

After a few seconds, Shao Cheng has gently opened his sapphire eyes after sensing the steady breath of the man hugging him from behind before slowly closing his eyes once more and trying hard to keep his heart steady and calm.

Even though he knows it's a wrong and dangerous thing to do, nonetheless, it doesn't change the fact that it's really comfortable being in the man's presence, especially when he is being surrounded by warm that easily soothe his tired soul.

Shao Cheng can only hope that everything will turn out alright in the future if someday he couldn't stop himself anymore because he hates for such precious time like this to disappear between the two of them.

And so, for the rest of the night, Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan have once more slept in a peaceful and comfortable manner, completely letting their guard down as they bask in each other soothing presence.

"... My Sun… My Moon, what's happened to our son?"

In the main residence, Shao Yin stood up while Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei are gently helping change his clothes into a more presentable dress rather than the supposedly sleeping robes because they already know that he would need to go out for a bit in order to deal with an important matter.

"Ah, Honey, don't be so tense up, just relax, I know that you always worry more regarding our third son, but you saw it right? Little Cheng has changed, although he still appears cold and indifferent but you can sometimes feel the warmth from him."

"Yes, Dear, you should see that our son started caring for us once again. Don't you know that he can cook delicious food and even allowed us to eat it? He even started getting more intimate with us! I feel so happy remembering the awkward hug he gave us before!"

"... care? Is that so… that's good…"

Shao Yin expression eases down, the wrinkle on his brows smoothing out, however, he couldn't help but tense up again when he remembers the young man that was staying in his third son living quarter.

"... that young man…"

The one who dares to beat him up and accuse him as a flower thief… especially that abnormal overprotective attitude he has to his third son.

"Oh! Yuan? He is the son of the Prime Minister, however, don't be fooled by the gossip around the Capital! He is a really good boy! Besides, what's wrong with being unruly? We were like that in the past too you know? As long as he treats our son well and sincerely, then I don't mind what kind of a person he is!"

"Yes Dear, don't listen to the rumors regarding Yuan! That boy is our son's precious and special person. If it wasn't for Yuan, our son wouldn't have changed and has figured out that he still has us in his life!"

Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei gaze at each other eyes with a flash of cunningness within it while their husband is busy thinking of the young man staying in their third son's living place.

That Prime Minister son?

Suddenly, Shao Yin eyelids twitch when he remembers that the famous Prime Minister is known for always looking down on the people in the Royal Courts and the other Nobles Families, with a narcissist attitude of feeling like the perfect gentleman while the other people are just brute and barbaric.

That man even has the courage to take a break once in a while with fake reasoning, and the most annoying of all was the fact that the man just manages to always take a break when there wasn't serious trouble going on, causing his enemy from unable to get his handle.

Even the Emperor couldn't fault the man since he was quite good at his job despite how troublesome he was to the point that some of his enemies were always trying to secretly send their assassin to kill him or just wanting the chance to beat him up even once no matter what consequences they will receive.

And that troublesome trait was said to have been passed down to his only child.

So... you are telling m that kind of person is now being so close to my son?

"Is that so…"

Shao Yin has easily controlled himself, knowing fully well that his two wives are observing every reaction he was showing, after all, even he wasn't stupid enough to ignore the unusual welcome attitude they have regarding that young man.

Well, Shao Yin should just let it be just as he vowed in the past, especially when his two wives have a better instinct and judgment than what he has, although, he will secretly watch his son and offer his help when it is needed by him.

"Alright, we are done! Our Honey is so handsome and manly!"

"Yes, dear I'm falling in love with you once more!"

Shao Yin smiled tenderly while his eyes brimming with love and gentleness as he gazes at his beautiful twin wife who has always supported him no matter what kind of hardship he has faced.

"My loves, I'll be back soon."

Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei smiled gently before leaning forward to leave a soft kiss on their husband's cheeks, which is like always, Chunhua in the left while Yanmie in the right.

"Take care My Honey/Dear."

After Shao Yin figure disappeared, Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei glance at each other with a worried expression on their faces, after all, both of them know that their husband will be meeting the Emperor in secret.

Even though the current Emperor didn't show any sign of wanting to target their Family and appearing of wanting to keep them in power without showing any sign of favor or dislike for anyone to take be suspicious off, however, it doesn't change the fact that all Royalty are born ruthless or was forced to be ruthless.

Especially when an Emperor is always dangerous, even if one is a well-known wise and enlightened ruler or just plain incompetent monarch, which is equally dangerous.

"Hope everything will turn out alright…"

Su Chunhua let out a deep sigh while Su Yanmei lowered her eyes which is filled with worries before letting out a soft sigh and gently pulling her older sister back in the bed to sleep, something they have grown up doing and has remained performing even after marrying their husband.

"I'm sure we will survive this… isn't our son change is enough proof that everything is turning out into a better future?"

Please… hear our prayer… let our family survive the deadly time where it is once more the time where families either will rise or fall in the new generation of the princes fighting over the throne.
