225 THIS IS FAREWELL

Wu Jinhai liked to wear red clothes, and Zhu Ge was the same.

Even when Bai Chen had just met Wu Jinhai in the Forbidden Forest, he had noticed the resemblance between the two men in terms of clothing, but he had also noticed the difference between them when it came to their attire.

Zhu Ge was vulgar from the first night Bai Chen saw the man. Who wouldn’t say that man was vulgar when they saw how the man was naked while getting ready with his big, long trunk down there?

The first time Bai Chen saw Zhu Ge, the man indeed did not wear anything to cover his body, but when he met the man again in the Red Pavilion a month ago, the man was fully clothed, but the way he left his chest exposed only convinced Bai Chen that the man did have a wild character in him.

Wu Jinhai was slightly different from Zhu Ge in that aspect. Even when Bai Chen had just seen the man in the Forbidden Forest a week ago, he could see how the man was properly dressed, and he even assumed that Wu Jinhai was less shameless than Zhu Ge.

Not only that, but how Wu Jinhai wore the highest quality clothes was also what set the man apart from Zhu Ge. Bai Chen still remembered how the masked man had let him use his red robe to sit on the ground, and he couldn’t help but feel pity in his heart when he noticed how delicate the material of the clothes was.

It was different from Zhu Ge who continued to wear cheap materials for his clothes, and it was surely not comparable to Wu Jinhai’s class.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

However, Bai Chen suddenly felt strange when he finally brought his blue eyes to take a closer look at Wu Jinhai. Previously he was too nervous and could only look at the golden mask without letting his eyes wander, but now when he finally focused his gaze on the red clothes, he noticed how the masked man exposed his chest, and even the material of his red robes looked cheap from this distance.

More importantly, Bai Chen was certain that someone else had put on those clothes before Wu Jinhai finally came out of the small house in the dense forest, and that was why Bai Chen’s heart started pounding behind his ribs when he realized the possible theory behind it all.

.....

“Are you Zhu Ge?” Before Wu Jinhai could answer his question earlier, Bai Chen asked another question, and even his voice trembled slightly when he just realized the possibility.

Sure enough, he sometimes also noticed how much Wu Jinhai and Zhu Ge resembled each other. Their appearances and personalities were different, but Bai Chen somehow managed to feel a slight resemblance to how the two of them smelled like wet leaves if he got close enough to them.

Even their pair of brown eyes resembled each other, and Bai Chen had once tried to cover Zhu Ge’s face with his hands so that he could only see the man’s eyes, and he did feel the resemblance there.

However, Bai Chen put his suspicions aside, and now he had to admit that he was too stupid that the taller man had managed to fool him all along.

Bai Chen was hurt, and he felt that he was being toyed with all along, and that was why his painful eyes kept staring at the man standing in front of him as he tried not to throw a direct punch at the man’s face.

It wasn’t that he was too kind, but that he knew the difference in strength between them, and he didn’t want to foolishly vent his anger by doing something that would end up hurting him.

“Was that fun for you?” Bai Chen asked weakly as he clenched his fists tightly. “You showed up as a poor hare in front of me a month ago, and you also act really dirty when you’re with me. You must be bored, right? You have everything you need, but you still play child’s games just to have fun?”

Bai Chen was indeed wounded. Even if he wasn’t completely honest with the man from the start, Bai Chen ended up having genuine feelings for the man, and he even agreed to marry the man.

Even if he kept telling himself not to trust anyone in this world, Bai Chen wouldn’t lie that he trusted Zhu Ge with all his heart without him even realizing it, and that was why he depended so much on that man.

And the main reason why Bai Chen was disappointed after finding out how that man had lied to him all along was when he recalled the memory of when he was torn between Zhu Ge and Wu Jinhai. He didn’t want to love two people at the same time, and he only wanted to be loyal to one person. That was why he sometimes felt guilty when he thought that he had fallen in love with two people at once.

“Now, tell me your reasoning,” Bai Chen continued to speak as the taller man still didn’t say anything. “Tell me why you chose to lie to me. You are even willing to be my servant, and I think it’s because you want to live in my palace. Am I right, Your Highness?”

The man in red fell silent, and Bai Chen took the silence as confirmation that his assumption was correct. Zhu Ge and Wu Jinhai were one person, and the way Bai Chen greeted the man formally was a form of sarcasm. However, the man didn’t even say anything when Bai Chen called him that, and it did confirm that Bai Chen wasn’t delusional with his theory.

And even when Bai Chen gave the man a chance to explain everything, the man continued to keep his lips in a straight line, and Bai Chen felt like laughing when he saw how the man ignored him as if he didn’t deserve to hear the explanation.

In the end, Bai Chen actually laughed at himself, and he sneered at the man as he said, “Alright. You don’t have to answer my questions, and I’ll just pretend as if we never met. You return to where you come from, and I will also return to my place. So, this is farewell, right, Your Highness?”
