Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

Chapter 43

43 ANNOYING SMELL, ANNOYING SCALES, ANNOYING FISHBONE

Do you think Bai Chen became smarter after transmigrating to this world?

He felt that he was no different from the main characters in the dramas he used to watch in his previous life. The main character was wise and always lucky, and even if he questioned the second point, he couldn’t help but feel proud of himself for being wise.

When a wise main character suspected someone, rather than directly judging that person in front of others, they preferred to have a private conversation with that person first. They would look for more evidence first, and they didn’t immediately tell everyone that the person was indeed bad. That was what he did with Zhu Ge.

Instead of reprimanding Zhu Ge in front of Ma Qiao, he asked the latter to leave them before speaking privately with the former. Bai Chen felt that he was wise for what he did, and he was secretly praising himself in his heart.

And maybe he also got smarter from thinking about the theory related to Zhu Ge. He was confident as he acted as a detective while questioning the crow-haired man, but to his dismay, Zhu Ge suddenly burst out laughing before picking up his chopsticks and continuing to eat again.

“You’re funny, Your Highness,” commented the man in red before bringing chopsticks full of vegetables into his mouth. Chewing it for a moment before swallowing it, he then continued, “I can’t believe that you think I don’t like fish and meat to the point I threw out a plate full of fish. But, if that’s the case, then I should have thrown away a plate full of meat too, right?”

“...” Bai Chen didn’t respond after hearing Zhu Ge’s reply which didn’t answer his question at all.

Instead of answering, the man he brought from the Red Pavilion chose to deny his first accusation, and Bai Chen was more certain that his second accusation might be true. There was another reason behind Zhu Ge’s shocking act when he threw the fish away.

“Then, what’s your reason?” The white-robed man asked again. “Ma Qiao is right that I like to eat fish, but you just threw the fish away for no reason. You are still lucky that I didn’t punish you right away.”

.....

Bai Chen tried to refute emphatically, but Zhu Ge only chuckled before taking a cup of water and drinking it until it was empty again. “If you want to know the reason, then sit next to me so I can tell you the real reason.”

An imaginary siren sounded inside Bai Chen’s head as he heard Zhu Ge speak to him. ‘This man is very cunning, and I knew he was up to something so he asked me to sit next to him,’ glancing at the man in red, his gaze turned fierce, causing the man in red to raise an eyebrow at him.

“Are you afraid of me, Your Highness?” Zhu Ge teased him while holding back a smile. “You are the werewolf here, and you are also in your palace. Your situation is much better than mine, but you are afraid that a weak human will eat you? That is ridiculous! I can indeed bite your body with my teeth, but I will never be able to eat you because I’m only human. Instead, I can only give you pleasure with my teeth.”

Cherry blossoms bloomed on Bai Chen’s cheeks after hearing Zhu Ge’s vulgar words. That man was a prostitute, so Bai Chen shouldn’t feel surprised by his attitude.

But, that man could speak so vulgarly even if he was being interrogated? Bai Chen thought that Zhu Ge’s courage was on a different level.

Sneering at the taller man, he then lifted his butt off the mat before shifting to Zhu Ge’s side. Once again dropping his ass, but he was now sitting next to the man in the red robe.

Bai Chen knew that Zhu Ge was a pervert, but he felt the man challenged him just now. Hence, he chose to accept the challenge as he ventured to sit next to him.

“I’ll really eat you if you dare do some stupid things to me!” Bai Chen warned the man.

It was indeed a warning that escaped Bai Chen’s thin lips, but the expression on his face wasn’t intimidating at all. Once again, Zhu Ge’s deep laughter filled the garden pavilion.

Bai Chen furrowed his brows when he saw the reaction. ‘Maybe it’s because I’m the protagonist in this world, and that’s why I can’t make myself look fierce,’ he grumbled upon realizing the situation.

Amidst his laughter, Zhu Ge raised his right hand before using the back of his fingers to caress Bai Chen’s porcelain-like cheek. “You are a natural beauty with natural skills for flirting. Do you know about that?” He whispered right into Bai Chen’s face.

The hot breath grazed Bai Chen’s face, and his face was also getting warmer. The man only ate vegetables, and his breath smelled of leaves that were so fresh and addictive.

‘What? Addictive?’ Bai Chen came to his senses, and he just realized that he was being weird in his head. Had he suffered brain damage? Weird things mixed with fury, and he really wanted to scream at another man, ‘Who the hell is flirting? I’m not flirting with you! I’m flirting with your ancestors!’

But of course, he could only scream in his head because he didn’t want to trigger the system.

He came to his sanity again, and he immediately brushed the hand away from his face. “Be serious and just tell me your reasons. Otherwise, I’ll push you into the pond so you can find me another fish to eat!”

Another warning from Bai Chen, but this time, Zhu Ge’s expression changed as he straightened his body. “Why do you like fish so much? It smells bad, and even the scales are annoying. Not to mention the annoying fish bones that can pierce our throats when we eat them!”

Zhu Ge suddenly looked annoyed, and he looked like a child who refused when his mother forced him to eat fish.

Bai Chen suddenly remembered how his mother always forced him to eat fish when he was little.

[“Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2. Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium. You should eat fish at least two times per week as part of a healthy diet.”]

At that time, Bai Chen was only eight years old or so, so he couldn’t understand his mother’s gibberish. His mother was a nutritionist, and he couldn’t help but think that she often treated him as a patient in their home.

Due to listening to his mother’s lectures too often, Bai Chen got used to eating fish, and in the end, he became fond of eating fish.

“You don’t like fish, do you?” The Prince thought that Zhu Ge was like him all those years ago. “You only hate fish, but you don’t hate meat. That’s why you just threw the fish away?”

Sherlock-Chen returned, and he narrowed his eyes at the black-haired man after voicing his suspicions. Even if he made a wrong guess earlier, he was sure that his guess this time was accurate.

He knew about it because Zhu Ge suddenly groaned before looking away from him. “Yeah, I don’t like fish,” he answered without looking at the man in white. “I just don’t understand why you choose to eat fish when you have a plate full of meat in front of you. I thought werewolves could only eat meat!”

That was also what Bai Chen thought when he had just transmigrated into this world. He thought he would only eat raw meat like the ones in the movies, and that was why his face was pale when he faced his first meal in this world.

But things weren’t all that scary, and he was even able to eat normal food that wasn’t too different from what he used to eat in his previous life.

“Just eating meat is boring,” Bai Chen replied. “And I’m the Prince here, so I can eat whatever I want, right?”

It was rare when Bai Chen had the opportunity to show off his authority, and he felt proud that he could act like a real Prince in front of others.

“So, a Prince can eat whatever he wants, huh? Can a Prince do whatever he wants too?”

Bai Chen suddenly heard a murmur, and he suddenly turned to Zhu Ge who had just spoken in a low voice. “Did you say something?” He asked the taller man.

Zhu Ge turned to him, and after blinking in confusion for a moment, he then replied, “It’s nothing.” Before bringing his hand to pat the top of the Prince’s head. “You’ve finished eating, right? You’d better return to Jing Pavilion before your dear servant misses you.”

Bai Chen only felt that he could finally show his authority, but a few seconds later, Zhu Ge treated him like a child.
