Chapter 59
Cheng Nuo walked up to Bai Rui and handed over the animal leg, then handed him a pot of water, and said with a smile: “I know you don’t like greasy food, but now there is no other food, so you can only eat these for the time being.”
Bai Rui took it, glanced at Cheng Nuo very gently, and said, “Thank you.”
Cheng Nuo was embarrassed by the look. He slightly avoided his gaze and said, “You have a good rest, you’ll have to travel later.”
The conversation between the two was actually very simple, but when Liu Guang saw it and heard it, his eyes turned red with anger.
Maybe Cheng Nuo didn’t notice it at all. When he was facing Bai Rui, he didn’t talk and laugh as freely as when he was facing other people, and Bai Rui’s eyes weren’t quite right when he looked at Cheng Nuo. At least he hadn’t seen Bai Rui look at others like this…
When Cheng Nuo came back, he saw Liu Guang gulping down meat, as if venting his anger. He thought Liu Guang was still throwing a child’s tantrum, so he sat down next to him, cut off a few pieces of meat, ate it and drank some water.
Liu Guang turned his head to look at Cheng Nuo. Even now angry in his heart, he still couldn’t help but want to take a good look at Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo saw that the corner of his (Liu Guang’s) mouth was covered with black ash, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it for him. He laughed in a low voice: “Now that you are the leader, you can’t let people laugh at you.”
Liu Guang was a little hot on his face and sweet in his heart because of this act of intimacy, and the anger disappeared.
After eating and resting for a while, the mounts and beasts were all full, and everyone hurried on.
It took another day’s walk to get to the inhabited town. Now the guards and females in the team added up to 70 or 80. There was only one inn in the town, and there wasn’t room for everyone.
Liu Guang divided for a while, five or six people crowded into one room, and the young master was no exception. He was divided with the other females. Of course, he and Cheng Nuo stayed in the last room.
The young master was spoiled, and after this tribulation, he also understood some of the people’s hardships, but he didn’t complain about anything, and followed the other females upstairs.
Cheng Nuo heard that Liu Guang assigned Bai Rui to the most crowded room. He guessed that according to Bai Rui’s temperament, he would definitely not go, but would probably go outside and make do for the night. However, Bai Rui knew of his ”female” identity, and it was indeed inappropriate to squeeze with them…
He was thinking with his head down, but Bai Rui slowly walked over by himself.
Bai Rui frowned at Liu Guang and said, “Why didn’t I hear where you divided Cheng Nuo just now?”
Liu Guang raised his chin slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, “Naturally, he is sharing a room with me, why, what is wrong?”
Bai Rui froze and stopped talking. He just turned his gaze to Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo was a little confused, and suddenly grasped Bai Rui’s meaning but he didn’t know how to explain for a moment. Bai Rui was wondering why he was still living with Liu Guang now, right? It was true that he had never mentioned to Bai Rui about Liu Guang and himself, mainly because this kind of thing was not easy to say…
The two ambiguous scenes of fooling around with Liu Guang suddenly flashed in his mind, and he was even more guilty, mumbling: “Well, I live with Liu Guang. There are too many people in your room, why don’t you squeeze with us…”
Cheng Nuo wanted to hit the wall after saying that. The two of them had been together since they were children, and now they both know that he was a so-called “female” … But Bai Rui didn’t seem to care much about his gender. Although the two men have fought side by side, they were still so at odds with each other. He didn’t know if they would fight or not if divided in the same room.
Liu Guang’s face turned dark when he heard this. What did Cheng Nuo mean? Even if that person surnamed Bai didn’t know that Cheng Nuo was a female, they had been separated for so long, and couldn’t even speak with each other… He glanced at Bai Rui warningly.
Bai Rui did not seem to pay any attention to Liu Guang’s eyes at all, and said calmly, “Okay, where is that room?”
Cheng Nuo looked up in shock. Bai Rui unexpectedly agreed?
Liu Guang grinded his teeth, he would kill this surnamed Bai sooner or later!
When the waiter took the three people upstairs, Cheng Nuo still had a feeling of untruthfulness. He was so guilty that his heart was going up and down, always feeling that something bad would happen.
The bed was not big, at most two people could squeeze in, and the waiter spread out a single bunk on the floor.
Cheng Nuo washed his hands and face, and hurriedly took the lead and lay down on the floor with clothes and said, “I’m sleeping here, so you two can squeeze on the bed.”
It must be wrong for him and Liu Guang to squeeze together. If they lie so close to each other and they can’t control and kiss or something, how could they have the nerve to face Bai Rui in the future?
Liu Guang’s lungs almost exploded, and he said with a dark face: “How could I sleep with this surnamed Bai?”
Bai Rui said indifferently, “I think so too.” He leapt silently on the roof beams, as if he was hidden in the night, without a sound.
Liu Guang looked at him angrily. There are roof beams elsewhere, so why do you have to be an eyesore here?
Cheng Nuo quickly sat up, looked up and said, “How could you do it up there? Always on the road, it’s more comfortable to sleep in the bed…”
Liu Guang looked at Cheng Nuo’s unnatural manner, and his heart was even more suspicious. Why was Cheng Nuo particularly nervous now when facing this person surnamed Bai? When they went up the stairs just now, he could not help holding Cheng Nuo’s hand. Cheng Nuo obviously shrank a little and his body stiffened.
A terrible thought suddenly flashed in his mind. His whole body’s blood turned cold and he hurriedly drove it out.
Cheng Nuo said he wouldn’t like males. What he cares about most is him (Liu Guang). In addition, he said he would never lie to him again
Liu Guang gritted his teeth and went down to pick up Cheng Nuo.
Cheng Nuo was startled. Subconsciously, he looked at the beam and whispered, “what’s the matter?”
“You sleep on the bed, be comfortable. I’ll sleep on the floor.” Liu Guang put him on the bed expressionless and clumsily covered him wiith the quilt.
Cheng Nuo hesitated. Was Liu Guang angry? But it was not easy to ask now.
He patted Liu Guang’s hand and whispered, “Then, have a good rest, too.”
Liu Guang looked at his face without blinking and nodded slowly.
Cheng Nuo fell asleep in a daze later. Liu Guang listened to his even breathing and whispered, “Surnamed Bai, come out and speak.”
He jumped on the roof from the window and heard the sound of the wind behind him. He sneered in his heart. Bai Rui had actually been paying attention to them just now, hadn’t he?
The two stood still on the roof, and Liu Guang said coldly: “I warned you that Cheng Nuo is mine. Although he owes you some favors, I will pay it back for him. If this kind of thing happens again today, I will kill you.”
Bai Rui said calmly: “No need to pay back, and you can’t kill me.”
Liu Guang sneered: “How about trying it now?”
Bai Rui said softly: “I won’t fight you because he treats you like a younger brother.”
Liu Guang was startled and caught off guard by Bai Rui so lightly saying what he was most afraid of deep in his heart, and his whole body trembled with violent anger. His lips were bitten through, and his wolf-like eyes stared at Bai Rui fiercely, wishing to swallow him alive.
Bai Rui looked at him very calmly, as if he had insight into all his thoughts.
Liu Guang’s chest was suffocated by those slightly contemptuous eyes, and the terrible thought that had appeared before emerged. Cheng Nuo’s eyes when looking at Bai Rui… Could it be that Cheng Nuo really liked this pretentious Bai Rui?
His breathing increased unconsciously, and he stared at Bai Rui with a sneer: “How do you know? Hehe, I said that Cheng Nuo is my person. We have long kissed and also sleep together every day. Cheng Nuo said that he likes me, and we will get married when I turn fifteen years old. Besides, instead of saying these useless things, it would be better to fight!”
Listening to Liu Guang’s words, Bai Rui’s eyes became cold. Although he didn’t believe it in his heart, his always calm mood was stimulated by those words, stirring up waves.
He reached out to block Liu Guang’s attacking fist and said softly, “I’ll accompany you if you want to fight, but not here.” He quickly glanced around and jumped towards an unoccupied area.
Liu Guang clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and followed.
When Cheng Nuo opened his eyes early in the morning in a daze, he saw Liu Guang lying on the ground with his back on him, his body straight. He looked up at the beams, and a little corner of his clothes appeared on it. He smiled and said, “it’s time to get up. After breakfast, we’ll keep going.”
Bai Rui jumped off the beam of the room, wearing the mahogany mask on his face again.
Cheng Nuo was stunned and said, “What are you doing with it?”
With them, wasn’t it more conspicuous to wear a mask?
Bai Rui paused and said, “It’s more convenient.” As he spoke, he pushed open the door and went down. Obviously, his clothes were changed again. Cheng Nuo couldn’t help feeling strange.
Liu Guang also sat up, but the speed of standing up seemed to be slower, and his usually rosy and healthy cheeks were a little pale.
Cheng Nuo had more doubts in his heart, but he was silent on the surface. He walked over and smiled: “I’ll ask the waiter to send some hot water…”
He stretched out his hand to hold Liu Guang’s hand, but Liu Guang bypassed him and said, “Then I’ll call the waiter.”
“Wait a minute.” Cheng Nuo stopped him and hesitated, “You and Bai Rui…”
Liu Guang was motionless with his back to him, but his back was slightly undulating, and his breathing was heavy, obviously injured. Cheng Nuo didn’t hesitate anymore, stepped forward and grabbed Liu Guang’s sleeve and probed his pulse. His brows suddenly frowned. Why did Bai Rui not know the weight of his hand?
Liu Guang looked down at Cheng Nuo without blinking, and suddenly said, “He is more seriously injured.”
Cheng Nuo was speechless with anger. These two bear children!
He raised his head and said, “Why did you fight? ……” He stopped before he finished speaking, because he was completely shocked by Liu Guang’s extremely sad expression.
Liu Guang used to show such a fragile expression when he refused before, but now he felt distressed immediately when he saw it. He didn’t care about anything else, he stretched out his hand to hold Liu Guang in his arms, stroked him on his back, and whispered, “What’s the matter?”
With surprise, Liu Guang hugged Cheng Nuo fiercely with his backhand, with such force that Cheng Nuo felt his bones crack.
“…” Liu Guang murmured.
Cheng Nuo didn’t hear him clearly, so he frowned and struggled, and said softly, “What?”
“Do you like Bai Rui?” Liu Guang’s voice was hoarse, as if this sentence used all his strength.
Cheng Nuo’s body stiffened, and his head buzzed.
However, he reacted and laughed quickly, as if he had heard a big joke with exaggerated surprise on his face, but the corners of his mouth were a little stiff: “”Why do you say that? I’m just a friend to him – perhaps a better relationship than other friends. Have you forgotten what I said to you?”
Could it be that Liu Guang went to fight with Bai Rui because of this? It’s really a bear child!
Liu Guang still hugged him tightly, and his breathing was very rapid: “Then you… do you still treat me as a younger brother?”
Cheng Nuo cursed angrily, “Fuck it!”
He forcefully broke off Liu Guang’s arms, stared at his emerald eyes without blinking, and said seriously: “If you were a younger brother, would I still kiss you? No way! I will not react to my brother.”
Recalling that, his face was also a little hot.
Liu Guang looked at him suspiciously, and Cheng Nuo also looked back calmly.
After looking at each other for a long time, Liu Guang finally relaxed and whispered, “I’m a little scared.”
“Fool.” Cheng Nuo couldn’t help but lift his hand and touch his forehead, smiling, “I don’t seem to have said it, so I’ll say it once, I like you very much, Liu Guang.”
Liu Guang looked at him in a daze, his face reddened little by little. Even his ears were red.
Cheng Nuo pinched his cheeks and laughed, “Bai Rui is the most important friend in my heart, so don’t be like this next time.”
Liu Guang nodded, held Cheng Nuo’s waist, and his lips fell on Cheng Nuo’s lips, kissing him gently.
Cheng Nuo tensed up for a moment, but he soon relaxed and slowly closed his eyes, his hands gradually grasping Liu Guang’s back.
