Death System promptly stated, âItâs not my fault!â
Ye Chen thought inside his heart: âEven if i blamed you, what good would that do? Itâs not like you could explain the whole story about this matter clearly to Ren Jing even if I blamed you!â
It was obviously impossible.
Ren Jing stared at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen stammered for a while, but still couldnât come up with a proper sentence. âUhm...I...am...â
Fuck, what am I supposed to say!?
Ren Jing once again showed perfect consideration. He said, âTake the medicine for now.â
He immediately changed the topic!
Ye Chen breathed out a huge sigh, then hurriedly said, âRight, right, right, I should take the medicine first.â
The Death System retracted its lips. âYou should take one to cure your stupidity.â
Ye Chen was afraid that he would run his own mouth again, so he didnât want to squabble recklessly with Death System anymore.
He held the bowl of medicine, stared at it for a while, then stopped.
The mission isnât complete yet...
It was too awkward. He had to ask Ren Jing to feed him in this situation. Wasnât this too...too inappropriate to do?
But he needed to take the medicine three times a day. If he missed this chance, could it be that he had to take the medicine one more time tomorrow morning?
There was enough time, but it would be too troublesome.
But if he had to be fed now, how on earth should he tell Ren Jing?
What he had just blurted out was quite baffling. Not wanting to get married? Whom did he not want to get married to?
If it was the past him, he would just treat it as a joke. But currently, it happened right after Ren Jing had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Ye Chen wasnât stupid, either. He understood the meaning behind Ren Jingâs words.
Ren Jing felt that they had just gotten familiar (with each other) for about twenty days. Even though they were stuck together with each other everyday, showed affection to each other, and even went to that extent, the time was simply too short.
Such a short amount of time was when people usually acted the most impulsively and were unable to consider things carefully.
Be it like, love, or even solemn pledges of love, all of them were not enough as proofs.
And time itself was the most reliable thing to determine whether or not it was only an impulse.
Therefore, Ren Jing wished to wait more, just a bit more until the impulse had subsided. By then, they would be able to make decisions with rational reasonings.
Thinking about these made Ye Chen feel really moved. Ren Jing had considered so many things, which proved that he wanted to get along with him in a mature and serious way. From the very beginning, Ren Jing wanted their relationship to be everlasting.
Ye Chenâs reply to him should be given when he had decided he would stay by Ren Jingâs side, rather than a momentary desire.
To put it simply, the explanation of Ren Jingâs words was: I hope I could become your lover with the purpose of marriage.
Ye Chen understood his words, yet he uttered, âWho wants to get married!â
Could one imagine what Ren Jing was feeling?
Was he thinking that Ye Chen was only âplayingâ with him? Or that Ye Chen hadnât thought that far? Or to go deeper into it, was he predicting that a breakup was about to happen?
After all, one wanted to âget marriedâ, the other simply wanted to just date. When they revealed their feelings to each other, it would be followed by a breakup.
Breakup...
Ye Chen felt a stab in his heart and was anxious in an instant.
He couldnât avoid this issue, and he definitely couldnât just deviate the topic like this!
Ye Chen gritted his teeth as he tried to mention the topic again, âWhat I wanted to say just now was...â
Ren Jing interrupted him, âItâs alright, I understand.â
Understand? What do you understand? No matter how he looked at it, Ye Chen felt that Ren Jing didnât understand at all!
Big Darling Yeâs instinct was really terrific. Even though he didnât exactly know what Ren Jing was thinking about, his intuition was really on point. He opened his mouth and said, âI didnât mean I donât want to marry you, what I meant was... We have to wait a bit before getting married. We have to meet each otherâs parents first...â Wait, did I say too much!?
Ye Chen felt quite nervous. He lifted his head to look at Ren Jing and suddenly felt startled.
Ren Jing was staring at him attentively. The man who could handle everything skillfully and easily could unexpectedly be flurried like a child at this moment. His black eyes were twinkling softly, filled with disbelief.
In fact, Ye Chen was only saying these words nonchalantly, but Ren Jing thought that it was very reasonable.
He felt that he had definitely frightened Ye Chen. He had suddenly talked about the faraway future, Ye Chen had to have been scared, right? Ye Chen had probably kept thinking about it in his heart and mind, which was why he said that unconsciously.
Ren Jing had nothing to be sad about. After all, this was as expected.
Getting marriedââsomething that seemed like a faraway dream, how could he dare to wish for it?
But then, just now...
Ye Chenâs face was completely flushed. He felt that his fever had surely reached 40 degrees that his mind became somewhat muddled. He stumbled on his words, âItâs not that I want to meet your parents, itâs just... Well, after all, youâve met my mother and grandpa, I...â Shiiiit, did it become more irrational the more I talked!?
Ye Chen was so nervous that he didnât know where he should put his hands!
He felt that he had to explain further, thus he stated, âWhat I actually mean is, youâll be at a disadvantage in this situation. You see, I only have a few properties, but you already have a successful career. If we get married...youâll...â Fuuuuck, my words are getting more and more out of topic, it has become so out of topic that not even the Pacific Ocean could accept it!
Ren Jing finally awakened from the shock. He pursed his lips, his eyes seemed to be completely sprinkled with countless stars, and his voice was very pleasant to listen to. Like an essence, it could seep from Ye Chenâs ears straight into his innermost soul.
He said, âChen Chen, thank you.â
Ye Chenâs bones turned thoroughly soft, his hands and feet also turned soft that he had nowhere to put them.
âWh...what are you thanking me for...â
Ren Jing tenderly held Ye Chen in his arms, imprinted a kiss on his glabella, then said slowly, âMy mother had passed away more than ten years ago, and my father had died accidentally eight years ago. So Iâm really sorry, I wonât be able to bring you to meet them...â
Ye Chen immediately stopped feeling awkward, and became terribly worried instead.
Ren Jing said with a soft voice, âSo many years have passed, Iâm fine.â
His parentsâ passing... Ye Chen knew that he wouldnât just be fine no matter how long it had been.
Ren Jing was still a teenager more than ten years ago, yet he had experienced such a misfortune.
Ye Chen hugged Ren Jing tightly as he felt really distressed for him.
Ren Jingâs heart felt completely soft, he held Ye Chen and said, âI could write down your name on all of my properties, only your name.â Not even Ren Jingâs name was needed.
Ye Chen was taken by surprise upon hearing the most secular but truest words of love in the world. He said in a low voice, âI donât care about that.â
Ren Jing said, âI know you wonât care, because neither do I. Theyâre nothing compared to you.â
Ye Chen felt his heart bursting with sweetness. His mind was filled with, how could Ren Jing be so awesome? How could he be so lucky to be able to meet such an awesome Ren Jing!
Death System said angrily, âYouâve been like this yet wouldnât hurry and go get a marriage license, you two are really unreasonable.â
Ye Chen roasted it, âWhat the hell do you even know!â
Death System, âRight, right, right, I know no shit. But then, donât ask me to become your witness when the time comes, I wonât do it. Iâm resigning! Iâm going on a strike! I wonât do it even if you beg me!â
Ye Chen, â...â Youâre probably thinking too much, brother.
After the two âtalked about marriageâ for a long time, Ren Jing eventually recovered first. âThe medicine has turned cold.â
Thatâs right! I havenât taken the medicine!
Ye Chen kept on pondering about how to make Ren Jing feed him. Meanwhile, Ren Jing got up to prepare the medicine again.
The medicine was quite bitter at first, now that it had turned cold, it was definitely much more bitter. Ren Jing knew that Ye Chen was afraid of the bitterness, so he made a new one.
Ye Chen felt really delightful inside his heart that he was unable to hold down his lips (from smiling).
When Ren Jing came back, he said, âThe temperature is just right. You should take it now.â
Ye Chen took a look at the medicine, then stared some more before raising his head to look at Ren Jing anxiously.
Ren Jing said, âBe obedient, you wonât feel uncomfortable anymore after taking the medicine.â
Ye Chen mumbled, âCould you...â
âHm?â
Ye Chen shamelessly conveyed it out, even though his voice was as soft as a humming mosquito, âCould you feed me...â
Ren Jing blinked his eyes.
Ye Chen was so embarrassed he wished he could find a seam to squeeze himself into. His temperature would have risen to 40 degrees now, probably 400 degrees even!
Ren Jingâs voice was filled with the glimmer of a smile when he said, âLike how I did it in the morning?â
Eh...
Ye Chen wanted to say, âNo, no need to do it like that, just use a spoon,â but Ren Jing was really âconsiderateâ and had already kissed him when he lifted his head.
Whatever, letâs just leave it at that. This medicine...yeah...is really sweet.
