The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 245: Shao Cheng Secret Desire And The Shao Family Antics.

After a night of teasing with each other, and another morning of eating breakfast with the entire Shao Family, everyone in the Chang Capital has soon heard about the tragedy of the Ding Residence completely being wiped out.

While later on, the additional news of the other family members of the Ding Family that weren't home that day was also being targeted one by one, which has caused the entire attention of the people in the Royal Courts along with the Imperial Family to be completely alarmed.

After all, even though the Ding Family was only a mere low rank in the aristocrat status in the Chang Empire, but an entire aristocrat Family being massacre in one night is extremely startling and vital enough to focus their attention.

As for the merchant family that has betrayed the Li Family, of course, they have also been quietly dealt with, although it didn't even cause any single wave of disturbance and has only been thought of as another tragedy occurring in the Chang Capital.

Nonetheless, the death of the merchant family will be an important clue for the people wholly determined enough to dig deeper regarding the massacre of the Ding Family, leading them in an entirely different direction and completely clearing any relationship Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan have regarding the massacre that night.

So while the entire Royal Courts and other people are busy handling the unexpected massacre of an aristocrat family, Shao Cheng has finally experienced a few days of peace in the Shao Residence.

And it has been the longest time where Shao Cheng can finally stop to relax while basking in the new chance of his life without worrying about the trouble ahead of him, especially when the Ding family has been dealt with while the Ma Family is already in the palm of his hands, only needing to wait for the right time to make his move.

Although there is a shameless person who just refused to go home, going in and out of the Shao Residence without any single care in the world, and extremely brazen enough to climb up in Shao Cheng's bed every single night despite already clarifying for him to sleep in another room.

Especially when no matter what Shao Cheng does, like hanging the man upside down on a tree, beating him up, letting the adorable white rabbits chase after him, and even threatening for a month of not cooking any food for him, which surprisingly didn't work out.

The man is extremely stubborn and determined on sleeping together every single night, which wasn't a good thing since his heartbeat keeps skipping and speeding up.

"Little Cheng, do you think these red robes look good? Should I let them create the same style from the one I gave you before?"

In another room full of boxes being sent in Shao Cheng's living place, Ren Yuan showed remarkably luxurious silk red robes with an expectant expression on his face while his grey pupils shone with an eager light.

The entire time, Shao Cheng has just given a casual glance at the red clothes in the man's hand before nodding his head, fully knowing well just based on experience that it's better to just go along with what Ren Yuan wants to lessen the impending trouble if he were to refuse.

After placing ten different small jade bottles in a box and closing it, Shao Cheng has once again turned his attention to Ren Yuan that has been checking the luxurious clothes that will be stored in another room for future use.

"Brother Yuan, when are you going home? You are no longer sick."

don't you know how much I have been enduring this past few days seeing you always swaying so obliviously before me?

"Eh? Does little Cheng want to throw me away? Am I no longer special to you? Are you already tired of me and wanted to find a Little White Face outside???"

"Speak well"

What's Little White Face? Honestly, why are you acting so dramatic right now? You have been so active and joyful after the Ding Family was massacred...

Shao Cheng's lip twitches while ignoring the eerie giggle coming from outside the room along with a heated look on his figure, which was coming from the tiny dots that were brazenly made in order to peek inside the room.

Should he feel grateful that his cousin Xixi doesn't have enough time to stay in his courtyard while his good student always managed to make Xixi busy? 

"Little Cheng, I'll be staying in your place a lot of time! I really love it here! Although I'm going to leave for a few days when it's almost New Year Eve since the Old man will be causing a tantrum if I didn't go home that day. Hey, Little Cheng, want to visit my residence after the new year is over?"

"Brother Yuan, lately, The Prime Minister has been sending letters telling you to go home. As for after the new year is over, I'll just visit it another time."

Visiting the Ren Residence? No Thanks, I don't want to meet your famous father, the unreasonable and barbaric scoundrel Prime Minister, one never knows what kind of action he would suddenly think of doing.

What do I do if he suddenly figures out that I'm having a certain feeling toward his precious son?

Shao Cheng felt an oncoming headache just imagining such a situation happening, especially when he couldn't really use the tactic for dealing with the enemies since the Prime Minister is one of the few people that Ren Yuan genuinely cares about.

"Eh, I don't want to go home! Besides, I'll just be seeing my old man's face every day if I were to go back, I prefer to stay here and continue to stare at Little Cheng beautiful face. It's far more pleasing to the eye!"

Although Shao Cheng knows that there isn't any hidden meaning behind Ren Yuan's words but his traitorous heart was once again hit hard while his pale cheeks couldn't help but flush a shade of pink, fortunately, the man has turned around to pick up another set of red robe among the clothing and didn't see his reaction.

"You won't leave?"

"Never!"

Letting out a sigh, Shao Cheng finally nodded his head before standing up and leaving the room in order to get something leaving a grinning Ren Yuan who has just casually thrown the red robes to the side before letting out a humming sound, entirely feeling please since he was always getting what he wants lately.

However, when the young man has come back a few minutes later, Ren Yuan watches with wide eyes when the young boy and crazy woman has followed along while carrying an article of beautiful female clothing, accessories, and even makeup.

"...!"

you got to be kidding me!

Ren Yuan couldn't help but froze in horror while the red robes on his hands have slowly fallen down to the ground causing Shao Cheng's lip to twitch up before finally showing a small smile, which in Ren Yuan's eyes finally felt like the devil is smiling upon him, although it was still stunning and able to blind his eyes.

"Let's start our one-week deal. Don't worry Brother Yuan, we will wear a fake face mask when we go out so no one in the entire Capital will know about it. As a great friend, I will always take care of your honor, even though your reputation is already bad."

Aside from me I won't allow anyone else to bully and tease you...

"Come, Come, My Charming Young Brother! I'll make sure to pick the best accessories that can enhance your beauty while wearing the female dress my Cold Young Master has chosen for you to wear!"

"..."

It took an entire three hours before everything was over and Shao Cheng stood before a charming Ren Yuan whose exquisite features were blurred, turning him into a charming young woman, which an appearance that can easily be found anywhere in the Chang Capital.

After all, Shao Cheng doesn't want their unofficial date being disturbed by one of the many playboy scions hanging around in the Capital, especially those who dare to openly grab a person that caught their eyes.

And yes, after slowly accepting the fact that Shao Cheng will helplessly fall for Ren Yuan in this new life, he might as well try to take out the man on a date without anyone knowing what it really meant inside his heart.

After all, in the eyes of others and even on Ren Yuan, it's just part of the reward with friends hanging out with each other.

Well, it's also to the fact that Shao Cheng won't have the chance to do it in a bright and open manner, after all, he doesn't plan on ever confessing even if his feeling grows deeper since he is extremely determined to continue on his decision from before.

"... Little Cheng, can I just go home?"

"You can."

"Really?"

"After today is over, then we can continue the other 6 days when you are back."

"..."

Soon, a young man and a young woman with a slightly good appearance can be seen walking along the bustling road of a busy and huge marketplace in the Chang Capital, although it was wintertime, the entire place is still full of people with all sorts of vendors set up all around the street.

It was the part where most of the common people and low to mid-rank families tend to frequent, although some of the higher noble members will also visit it, which is usually by hiding their real identity and status.

There are also all kinds of restaurants and inns spread around the place, while the most luxurious district that most of the noblest members of the official families choose to hang out with are in a quieter and protected area.

"My dear, I want those."

"Ok."

Shao Cheng didn't even need to see what Ren Yuan is pointing at and simply nodding his head before talking to the vendor owner and paying for the items.

"My Dear is really the best~"

Sao Cheng showed a small smile before reaching over to gently flick the crossdressing Ren Yuan's nose, acting like a young man doting on his woman, in which Ren Yuan shyly tilts his head to the side while fluttering his long eyelashes toward him.

Honestly, he really admires Ren Yuan's thick face and ability to operate in any situation since it didn't take long for Ren Yuan to quickly act as a charming woman after they secretly went out while at the same time, the unknown play has instantly started between them without even discussing it.

Although Shao Cheng didn't really plan for the two of them to once again act like a couple while outside, he doesn't really know why Ren Yuan choose the lover play rather than the appearance of the brother and sister playing outside.

Fortunately, Xixi was taken away by Tian Ying which was quickly called over by Ren Yuan in order for their outing to be more peaceful.

"My dear, isn't that your younger sister and brother over there?"

Shao Cheng moves his eyes to the side when Ren Yuan has lean closer to gently whisper on his ears, then silently watching as Chia and Cai stop in front of a vendor selling a candied stick of Hawthorn.

"Ignore them."

However, a few minutes later, Shao Cheng's robes were gently pulled by Ren Yuan, before following the direction where the delicate finger was secretly pointing, which was the location of his brother Yan and Chonglin sitting in an open tea house a few distances away from them.

"... ignored them."

Then when the two of them bypassed an alley, they caught a glimpse of Shao Cheng's two older sisters beating some poor man.

"... they ar-."

"... don't."

After a few minutes later, Shao Cheng lip twitch while feeling the way that Ren Yuan has lean most of his body to his side and letting out a suppress laugh when they saw his twin Mother and Father sitting in an open window on the second floor of a restaurant they planned to enter in order to rest.
