The Seed Of Doubt
The Seed Of Doubt
Shao Cheng's closed eyes swiftly opened as soon as the sound of a hard object falling on the ground reached his ears. And before he could make a move, the familiar voices that soon followed caused the dangerous chill on his sapphire eyes to quickly disappear.
"Older Brother calm down! You already know how close the two of them are!"
"Hmph! No matter who it is, how can I calm down after seeing a man in the bed lying on top of Little Cheng? Besides, look at their messy appearance! It's like they fell asleep after being tired and crooked!"
Hm?
"Older Brother, your mind is running wild again… Even if the other person's control can't be trusted, I'm sure our younger brother knows what he should and shouldn't do."
"That is what I'm worried about! When it comes to that man, our Little Cheng appears to have no bottom line! Besides, our Little Cheng has already gotten a bad influence after staying with this man. What to do if our Little Cheng gets tempted to do unspeakable things? He is still young for adult matters!"
I still haven't babied my younger brother!
As Shao Yan and Shao Chonglin gazed at each other, one with anger, while the other with exasperation, the person being discussed was simply confused about what was happening.
… Damn, what the hell are the two of you talking about?
Usually, Shao Cheng was extremely alert and vigilant about his surroundings and quick to observe the situation, yet, he didn't even detect the sudden arrival of his first and second brother.
While the other worrying matter was...
…Did I just fall asleep just like that?
Shao Cheng slowly blinked his eyes before gazing at the peacefully sleeping Ren Yuan on top of his body.
Despite how the two of them sleeping together had turned normal, he was a bit surprised about the fact that the two of them had fallen asleep during the peaceful silence that had descended between them after speaking about their dreams and their future plans.
"So noisy…"
Shao Cheng couldn't help but softly lick his slightly dry lips after the man let out a sleepy and yet charming voice, filled with complaint and dare he says it, a bit of coquettish flavor like the man was acting like a baby towards him.
And the result of such thought caused Shao Cheng's cheek to flush in a beautiful pink color, especially when he felt Ren Yuan gently rub their cheeks together and murmur how soft it was before intimately sticking his face back to the side of his neck.
"... Mnm…"
Suddenly, the soft groan filled with content caused Shao Cheng's heart to start beating fast, while the pink color in his cheeks quickly darkened in a matter of seconds.
However, he once again forcefully calmed his unusual reaction when it came to Ren Yuan since he still remembered that his first and second brothers were just standing some distance away from the bed.
And when he finally turned his attention away from Ren Yuan who continued to sleep while intimately being closer than their usual way of sleeping posture, he wasn't surprised to find his first brother fuming in anger while his second brother showing a contemplative look while gazing at them with deep understanding eyes.
"Brother Yan, Brother Chonglin, why are you looking for me?"
Despite how Shao Cheng and Ren Yuan slept in the same bed occasionally, it usually didn't matter since it was only the two of them, but now, two of his older brothers continued watching them a few distances away from the bed making the situation was a bit awkward.
"... Um, we thought of showing you around since this is the first time you came to the Temple."
Shao Yan's eyelids twitch while desperately trying hard to act normal and kind towards his third brother, but it was a bit hard when it appeared that his third brother continued to lay down in the bed and didn't seem to plan to get off from it.
"Yes, Little Cheng, would you like to come with us?"
While Shao Chonglin acted more natural and casual after seeing his third brother's appearance of sleeping so stickily and intimately in the bed with the famous rascal.
"... I'll continue to take a nap…"
After a few seconds of silence, Shao Cheng decided to continue sleeping for the rest of the afternoon and waking up only when it was dinner time. As for the reason why he quickly glanced at the person almost on top of his body without showing the sign of wanting to wake up.
I can take a proper rest if this man is by my side…
"Then, we won't disturb you."
Shao Chonglin gently smiled before strongly pulling his reluctant older brother who appeared to want to pull the person off from their third brother.
After detecting that his two older brothers had left, Shao Cheng let out a soft sigh before shooting a helpless look towards the oblivious, ignorant, or dare he says, unconcerned man who continues to sleep without a care in the world.
Nonetheless, he couldn't help but slowly move his hands to give the man a semi-hug before slowly closing his eyes, wanting to hide the obvious growing attachment in his eyes rather than mainly wanting to continue sleeping.
Of course, after a few seconds, as the sound of steady breathing resounded once more in the room, Ren Yuan silently opened his eyes, which were clear and bright before staring at the pale skin before him for a few silent moments.
Soon, he gently raised his upper body with one of his elbows on the bed before gazing down at the young man who remained asleep and was completely showing such an unguarded appearance causing a strange emotion to flash in his eyes.
And when he used his other hand to gently poke the slightly pink pale cheeks, a soft snort couldn't help but escape his lips when the young man continued to sleep without reacting to his action.
"... I'm going to tempt you? Whitey is going to do an unspeakable thing to me?"
As the overly protective words of the angry man flashed in Ren Yuan's mind, another snort of disbelief escaped his lips. Honestly, he had never thought that person's mind was extremely dirty after having read the report about what kind of a person he is, fortunately, the other man's reaction was more calm and reasonable.
"... Though, it's a bit worrying since I am quite attractive if I say so myself."
Ren Yuan softly whispered while gazing down at the young man who remained asleep, although, despite the utter disbelief for the young man acting in such an unusual way, he couldn't help but turn into deep thought.
Especially when he was unable to stop himself from remembering that rather awkward but quite pleasant night when the young man had been given medicine. He had never considered that there's a time where he could be out of control.
"Nah… no way."
After shaking his head one more time in refusal, Ren Yuan was completely ignorant of the deep panic that quickly appeared and disappeared in his heart, the quick denial, and the unusual action of not thinking more deeply about the situation.
After all, he would usually have dug deeper in order to figure out the entire situation, never leaving possible trouble later on.
Nonetheless, the seed of doubt had been planted just waiting for it to sprout in the future.
Soon, two similar steady breaths resounded out in the room, and in the simple but comfortable bed, two young men continued to sleep in a peaceful and pleasant way.
