58 ENVY OR JEALOUSY?
The weight on his shoulders gradually ceased as the owner of the head began to raise his head carefully. His right shoulder felt numb from the man who could easily borrow his shoulder to sleep on, but he couldn’t even bring himself to scold the man when he saw how cute the man was as he rubbed his eyes groggily.
It was the first time he had thought that a man could also be cute, and he did not expect that he would use the word “cute” for Zhu Ge when the man’s appearance was far from cute.
Of course, Zhu Ge’s appearance was far from cute. Just look at how tall he was, and one would think that his height was terrifying. Also, look at how firm his body was, and one would think that the man would be able to crush their bodies with bare hands. Even the man’s sharp facial features shouted the word “danger,” and no one would say that the man was cute under normal circumstances.
But, when Bai Chen saw how Zhu Ge innocently rubbed his eyes when he had just woken up from his nap, the word “cute” was the only word his brain came up with, and he couldn’t help but use it to describe the man’s behavior.
He almost scolded his brain for being so far from creative in choosing words, but he swallowed his scolding when he saw how Zhu Ge’s eyes opened carefully before they looked directly at him. He even thought that Zhu Ge looked like a baby at first glance, but he knew that the analogy was ridiculous because no baby had such a big body.
Zhu Ge had a pair of light brown eyes, and even if he had seen such eye color often in his previous life, Bai Chen thought that the eyes that Zhu Ge had were different. For some reason, they seemed to sparkle as they continued to stare into his blue eyes, and it felt like he was losing his sanity as he stared back at the pair of brown discs.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Zhu Ge asked the question in his hoarse voice, and Bai Chen also thought that his voice was sexy.
Zhu Ge originally had a deep voice, but when he just woke up from his sleep like this, his voice sounded even sexier, and Bai Chen had goosebumps all over his body once again. It felt like he was wearing headphones, and the man’s voice tickled his eardrums directly, enough to bring butterflies to his stomach.
That was the question that greeted Bai Chen for the first time when Zhu Ge awoke from his deep sleep, and that was quite normal compared to the expectations that Bai Chen had in his little head. It wasn’t what Bai Chen expected more, but for a moment he remained wary as he thought that Zhu Ge would do something crazy like kiss his cheek again after opening his eyes.
.....
“You’re the one staring at me,” Bai Chen replied as he looked away from the owner of those eyes in caramel color.
He felt stupid for thinking that eyes were beautiful, and he quickly corrected himself, ‘There’s nothing special about those eyes. They don’t flicker at all, and they’re not pretty at all. It’s no use staring at them for long.’
Of course, Bai Chen would not admit that he was indeed staring, and instead, he accused the other man of gazing even if he was the first to get lost in that pair of light brown eyes.
Hearing how Bai Chen denied his accusations, Zhu Ge chuckled, and the laughter didn’t make Bai Chen feel any better because his voice sounded more alluring now.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Bai Chen couldn’t stay like this any longer, and he decided to get up from Zhu Ge’s lap before the man could hold his body once again. And it seemed that he had chosen the right timing since he had managed to escape the man in red this time. It seemed that the black-haired man did not expect that he would immediately stand up.
The prey managed to escape from his grip, and Zhu Ge groaned before bringing his body to stand up as well. However, he almost lost his footing when he couldn’t feel his feet. Those words sounded too exaggerated, but he did feel numbness in his legs because he had been sitting on the floor with Bai Chen sitting on his lap for such a long time.
Fortunately, Bai Chen quickly reached out and gripped his hand to help him stabilize his body. The taller man immediately looked up, and he could see a pair of blue eyes looking at him worriedly.
It was quite strange when the ocean-like eyes were suddenly painted with worry, and Zhu Ge suddenly laughed when he saw that. “I didn’t expect His Highness the Prince would feel worried about me too. I can feel my heart, but I can’t feel my feet. I hope His Highness will continue to hold me like this,” the taller man teased.
It was indeed a tease that came from the tall man, and Bai Chen snorted before letting go of Zhu Ge’s hand, effectively destroying the man’s hopes. He had only reflectively helped the man when he saw that the man looked like he had lost his balance, but now the man had the audacity to tease him.
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have helped him. He’s stronger than me, so he wouldn’t need my help,’ Bai Chen grumbled inwardly as he used his hand to tap his robes to get the dirt and dust off his clothes.
He did sit on Zhu Ge’s lap, but that didn’t mean he could keep himself clean because his white robes were unlike trousers that would stay in place when he sat down, and they automatically fell on the floor when he sat on Zhu Ge’s lap. In the end, his robes were still dirty, and his face was full of disgust as he tried to get rid of the dirt.
“Would you like me to help you clean your robes, Your Highness?”
His hand movements stopped when he heard the question, and when he looked up, he could see Zhu Ge grinning mischievously at him. “You just want to grope my ass again, right?” He asked sarcastically, but he then realized that Zhu Ge’s red robe was also dirty. “Just clean your own robe. That looks really disgusting.”
Zhu Ge didn’t seem to care about cleanliness, but he still looked down at his robes to observe it. “Ah, that’s fine,” he replied as he tapped on his robe once before looking at Bai Chen again. “A real man should not be afraid of dust and dirt.”
It was like another series of insults coming from the man in red, and Bai Chen felt like cursing the man. Luckily, he managed to stop himself because he didn’t want his points to be deducted because of that.
Ignoring the taller man, Bai Chen placed the book he had just read on top of the pile of books before speaking again, “I’m going back to Jing Pavilion. You find Ma Qiao and ask him to prepare some spare clothes for you. You are my servant now, so you can’t look untidy like that.”
Bai Chen felt that he had finally gained momentum for revenge. Although Zhu Ge was indeed handsome, his appearance did look unsightly. His robes were dirty, his hair was quite messy, and even his face didn’t look clean either.
Bai Chen thought that he had finally managed to get his revenge, but to his surprise, Zhu Ge only shrugged after hearing his statement. “I usually looked like this, but the customers at the Red Pavilion were still willing to queue up for me. I don’t think my appearance is an issue here.”
Zhu Ge returned with confidence, and Bai Chen couldn’t even argue. He still remembered how the Red Pavilion boss had said that Zhu Ge was indeed the most popular hare in the place. Even if Zhu Ge wasn’t the cleanest person out there, it could be said that he was one of the most handsome men. No wonder customers were still willing to queue for him even though he didn’t look clean.
The horny gays probably only aimed for a good-looking face and a good body, so they didn’t care what kind of clothes the guy was wearing. For some reason, Bai Chen didn’t feel happy about it.
He didn’t know the reason for the unhappiness in his heart. ‘Maybe because I envy his face and body?’ He asked himself as he looked at the taller man.
From the start, he had acknowledged that Zhu Ge was a handsome man, but he rarely felt envious of other men’s appearances. Now he wondered why he suddenly felt discomfort in his heart.
‘Wait. I feel uncomfortable in my heart not because I know the fact that other men have touched Zhu Ge too, right? Is it envy or jealousy?’ And Bai Chen was dumbfounded when such a thought appeared in his mind.
