Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

207 A DEMON WAS EYEING HIM

Mount Heping was still as cold as the last time Bai Chen walked past the mountain with Zhu Ge when they returned from the Red Pavilion. Back then, Bai Chen still didn’t know much about this world, and he could only rely on Zhu Ge as a person who knew a lot about the snow mountains.

Until today, he still didn’t know much about this world, but his knowledge at the moment was still better than when he had just transmigrated to this world, and Bai Chen even thought that he could even adapt to this world fairly quickly when his body no longer shivered as he walked past the mountains.

Back then, Ma Qiao had even dressed him in a thick coat, but today when he only wore his usual white clothes, he didn’t think that the mountain was too cold for his body.

The trip to the river was shrouded in silence even If two people were walking together. Bai Chen’s mind was still distracted by many things, and Zhu Ge also didn’t want to start a conversation with him for some reason.

The man in red had just opened his mouth when the two of them finally arrived at the steep path that would lead them to the river, “Want me to help go down the river?”

It was the same path they had taken when they were going to fetch water from the river a month ago, and the two of them had stopped walking there instead of going straight for the river.

Perhaps it was still vivid in their memories when Bai Chen nearly fell while he was walking on the steep path, and that was why Zhu Ge offered to help before the same accident happened again.

Bai Chen blinked his blue eyes as he stared at the river not far from them again, and his eyes carefully turned to the steep path they had to walk if they were to reach the river.

A month ago, Bai Chen didn’t carry anything in his hands when he walked down the path, and he could use his hands to clasp the big rocks on the side of the path to help him. However, it was different today because he brought Wu Jiang with him, and that was why he couldn’t use his left hand to seek protection so that he wouldn’t stupidly fall onto the hard rock face first.

.....

Zhu Ge stood beside him, and Bai Chen turned to the man as he said, “If you don’t mind, then I will need your help so we can reach the river safely.”

Bai Chen decided to drop his pride when he accepted Zhu Ge’s offer. Perhaps he realized that falling to the rocky surface would feel worse than accepting an offer from the man in red, and that was why he decided to give the man a chance to help him.

“How can I say no when my lover asks me for help?” Zhu Ge replied, and there was even a hint of amusement in his voice.

At this moment, Bai Chen just remembered that the two of them were indeed lovers now that he had successfully completed the mission from the system. He planned to trick the system by telling Zhu Ge that he wanted to break up right away, but that was considered a violation of the rules, and that was why he couldn’t do what he wanted.

Furthermore, he had to admit that he did feel something special for Zhu Ge, and that was why he had forgotten his plan before he could carry it out.

Even if Zhu Ge was still as annoying as ever, Bai Chen could somehow sense the man’s devotion, and that was why he chose to erase his irritation as he immediately extended his right hand toward the man in red.

Zhu Ge accepted the hand with a smile on his face, and he then led the way to walk the treacherous path that would lead them to the river. Perhaps the path was indeed dangerous for Bai Chen because he was weak and quite clumsy, but Zhu Ge casually led the way without any fear in his eyes, and Bai Chen somehow felt safe having his right hand gripped by the taller man.

Zhu Ge’s hand was bigger than his, and it was also warm as the man gripped his hand tightly. Thanks to Zhu Ge’s strong hand, Bai Chen could confidently carry his feet to walk the steep path, and he didn’t even feel that it was too dangerous for him to walk on the path.

They crossed the rocky path safely, but Zhu Ge still held onto Bai Chen’s hand even after they landed safely in the floodplain area of the river.

Bai Chen tried to pull his hand away from the man’s grip, but Zhu Ge only tightened his grip instead of letting go.

“Why don’t you let me go? I’m safe now, so you don’t need to continue protecting me,” Bai Chen said, but the taller man still wouldn’t let go.

“Are you sure you’re safe now?” Instead of answering Bai Chen’s question, Zhu Ge asked back, and Bai Chen became even more curious as the tall man continued to act strangely in front of him.

“As far as I can remember, I almost hurt myself while I was walking on the rocky path a month ago, and now that we’ve crossed that path, there’s nothing to worry about, right?” The Prince confusedly asked the black-haired man.

“That’s all you remember, ah?” Zhu Ge once again asked, and he even raised his eyebrows as if he was mocking the young Prince. “I forgot to tell you the truth about what happened at that time, but a demon was eyeing you from afar back then, and the demon even wanted to lead you to her illusions. That’s when I told you that you were just a weakling and a useless werewolf. Do you remember it now? You were really mad at me back then, right?”
