Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Yes, Bai Chen did think that those pair of brown eyes looked somehow empty after he finished answering the man’s question, and Bai Chen was even more confused when he saw the unexpected reaction.

Bai Chen couldn’t understand the reaction, nor did he know why the taller man would suddenly show such a reaction after hearing his answer.

“You... you saved a child in this river?” Zhu Ge asked, and even if his voice sounded softer than usual, Bai Chen thought that he saw a hint of yearning in the previously vacant pair of brown eyes of the man, and he was even more puzzled when he noticed the difference.

All of a sudden, Zhu Ge looked... happy?

Bai Chen wasn’t even sure of his assumptions. Zhu Ge’s expression was still the same, but if he only focused on the man’s brown eyes, he couldn’t help but think that the eyes sparkled slightly, and that was why he became even more curious about what the man was thinking now.

“Yes, I saved a boy who nearly drowned in this river when I was little,” Bai Chen replied, and he purposely told the truth because he wanted to know what kind of reaction the older man would have after hearing his answer.

He thought Zhu Ge would react, and he guessed it right because the man suddenly smiled even though a second ago the man was still faithful with his flat expression with a hint of concern.

The reaction of the taller man was quite strange, and that was why the man in white decided to ask, “Why are you suddenly smiling after knowing that I saved a small child in this river?”

.....

Even after he voiced his curiosity, the man in red didn’t immediately wipe the handsome smile off his face, and instead, the man suddenly placed his palm on Bai Chen’s head before replying, “I’m smiling because I’m proud of you, Bai Chen. You’re like this, but you managed to save a child in the past. At least, you did something useful for others in the past, and that’s why you should feel proud of yourself too.”

Bai Chen immediately pushed Zhu Ge’s chest so that the man was forced to retreat and his palm was no longer above his head. He sneered before replying, “What do you mean by saying ‘you’re like this’ when you described me? Are you going to say that I’m just a useless Werewolf Prince but I was able to save someone in the past? You’re proud of me for that?”

Just a moment ago, Bai Chen was still curious about Zhu Ge’s strange expression, but now he was annoyed after hearing the man’s indirect insult to him. Yes, it was indeed an indirect insult that came from the black-haired man, but Bai Chen was not stupid, and that was why he managed to see that the man had just mocked him with his words.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ge chuckled after hearing his questions, but the man still dared to approach him before putting his arm around his shoulder. “I think it’s time for you to scatter Bai Renshu’s ashes into the river,” he said, and it seemed that his expression and tone had returned to normal.

“Haizz! Did you think I would forget what you said to me just because you suddenly mentioned the Crown Prince? In your dream, Zhu Ge! I will always remember how you said that I was just a weak and useless Werewolf Prince, and in the future, I will make you pay for what you told me!” Bai Chen looked bold as he threatened the taller man, but the man only smiled at him before leaning forward so that their faces were now close to each other.

Zhu Ge’s lips were very close to Bai Chen’s cheek, and the man bravely exhaled his warm breath to caress the Prince’s white cheek before whispering, “I wouldn’t dare think that you are just a weak and useless Werewolf Prince. You even saved a child when you were little, and I’m sure that kid sees you as his hero until now.”

Bai Chen’s heart suddenly thumped once more, and he didn’t know if it was due to what Zhu Ge had just said to him or perhaps because of the dangerous distance between them.

Both reasons were plausible, but Bai Chen somehow assumed that his heart rate increased because the other person said that he was a hero. No one had ever told him that he was a hero even when he was in his previous life, and that was why Bai Chen suddenly seemed excited when Zhu Ge said that he was a hero to others.

‘It wasn’t even me who had saved the child in the past, but for some unknown reason, I suddenly felt proud of myself as if I was the one who became the hero in the past. What’s wrong with me?’ Bai Chen stupidly wondered inwardly, but then all the questions in his head were forcefully erased as he could feel a warm and wet sensation on his cheek.

Previously, Zhu Ge’s sinful lips were less than an inch from his cheek, but now there was not even a gap between the lips and cheek because the man in red had removed the distance.

Without warning, Zhu Ge suddenly kissed Bai Chen’s cheek affectionately, and even if it was just a kiss on the cheek, it was enough to freeze Bai Chen’s mind and body.

He somehow relaxed under the kiss, and he felt that the worry in his heart was gradually disappearing just because of the innocent kiss on his cheek.

Unfortunately, Zhu Ge didn’t kiss him for too long as the man suddenly pulled away slightly before whispering once again, “You are my hero, Bai Chen. And I’m very proud of you.”
