Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 209

209 WHO ARE YOU?

Bai Chen first heard about the Flute Demon coming from Ma Qiao when he had just transmigrated into this world, and he even thought that his old servant was just talking nonsense back then because no demon existed in his previous life.

Using the so-called Flute Demon as an excuse, the old servant even poured a bucket of water over his head at that time, and Bai Chen was furious with the old man.

Bai Chen didn’t easily believe Ma Qiao’s story as his old servant could be random at times, but even Zhu Ge also mentioned the demon when they arrived at Mount Heping when they were about to reach Dong Lang from Wu Li last month, and he finally figured out that his old servant probably wasn’t talking nonsense.

“You’re quite smart when you can even guess the demon,” Zhu Ge smirked at him as if he didn’t expect Bai Chen to be able to guess the demon so accurately after hearing his story.

“I remember you mentioned the Flute Demon when we were at Mount Heping almost a month ago. Back then, you even laughed at those people who were afraid of the demon, saying that they were ridiculous because they even came out of their house while using their hands to cover their ears. Maybe I’m weak and useless, but my memory isn’t that bad,” Bai Chen spoke at length as he wanted to counter Zhu Ge’s tone which sounded like the man was mocking him.

Bai Chen was a little annoyed, but Zhu Ge only chuckled when he noticed the annoyance in the Prince’s voice. “I’ll take back what I said then,” he replied. “I can see that you are not weak and useless, so you can stop being angry with me.”

Zhu Ge did have good intentions to take back his ridicule at that time, but Bai Chen snorted in response. “What made you suddenly want to change your mind? Almost a month has passed since we first met, but I haven’t made any progress during that period. So, you don’t have to force yourself to change your mind only to comfort me.”

Once again, the taller man giggled after hearing Bai Chen’s answer. “I can see that you’re not weak and useless because you managed to survive the Beast Hunting Event when several people were killed there. You can’t say that you were just lucky during the dangerous event,” he replied calmly once again.

“Why can’t I say that I’m just lucky enough to survive?” The Werewolf Prince answered with a question. “I was indeed just lucky that I met someone as strong as Wu Jinhai in the forest. Even if he was also annoying at times, he continued to protect me during the event in the forest, and that’s why I managed to get out of the forest alive. It’s indeed my luck that has saved me.”

.....

“...” This time, Zhu Ge did not immediately respond to Bai Chen, and instead, he only furrowed his brows as he continued to stare at the man wearing white clothes.

The taller man frowned for some reason, and Bai Chen reflectively used his finger to smooth the crease on Zhu Ge’s forehead, only causing the man in red to immediately stand up from his position before staring at the Prince in horror.

“You... your finger is wet, right? How can you casually touch my forehead when your finger is wet?” Zhu Ge suddenly questioned Bai Chen, and he even raised his voice as if he was scolding the young Prince.

Bai Chen looked confused when he saw Zhu Ge’s reaction, and when he forced himself to get up, the man in red even took a step back while covering his forehead which Bai Chen had just touched, and the sight was quite strange in Bai Chen’s eyes.

“I used my hand to touch the water in the river earlier, but I won’t tell that my finger is still wet now. It’s just slightly moist now, so you can’t scold me just because I touched your forehead with my finger! You’re overreacting!” Bai Chen replied to Zhu Ge while pouting at the man.

When he was just squatting by the river, he indeed used his hand to touch the cold water, and his fingers were also wet from it. But he was sure that his finger wasn’t even completely wet when he used it to touch Zhu Ge’s forehead, and that was why he thought that the man in red was overreacting.

There was a sudden tension between them, and it reminded them of the fight between the two of them when they were also at the same river almost a month ago, and perhaps Zhu Ge had just realized the situation.

Zhu ge probably knew that Bai Chen was annoyed with his attitude, and he carefully pulled his hand away from his forehead which Bai Chen’s finger touched.

Zhu Ge’s hand no longer covered his forehead, and when Bai Chen shifted his gaze from the man’s brown eyes to the forehead, he didn’t find anything odd on the forehead, and that was why he looked even more confused at the man’s strange behavior.

“Sorry. I did overreact just now,” Zhu Ge even softly muttered an apology, and that was also unusual for someone as playful as him.

Zhu Ge usually thought that everything was a joke, and he also thought that the way he spoke and acted as part of his joke. Hence, it was rare for Bai Chen to accept an apology from the taller man, and that was why his eyes were filled with curiosity as he once again aimed his pair of blue beads at Zhu Ge.

“Are you hiding something from me, Zhu Ge?” The Werewolf Prince solemnly asked the man wearing the red hanfu. “I wanted to tell you from the start, but I endured it until today. However, I don’t think I’ll be able to hold it in anymore today, and that’s why you have to tell the truth. Who are you?”
