When Tang Wu Yuan woke up, he saw a blanket of white, the wound on his back had been bandaged and the smell of disinfectant was all he could smell. He moved his fingers and found that his hand was being held tightly by Song Xiao Bai.
Seeing that he had woken up, Song Xiao Bai leaned over and asked softly: “Wu Yuan, are you awake? Does it hurt?”
Song Xiao Bai’s voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing him, and when he looked up, he saw that Song Xiao Bai looked in bit awkward, his hair was in a mess, his blood was still stained on his clothes, and his eyebrows were furrowed, his usual meticulous appearance was gone.
Tang Wu Yuan looked at him for a moment without moving, then suddenly pulled the blanket over his head, even though it hurt, he did not stop until his face was covered.
“Wu Yuan, what’s wrong?” Song Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment and reached out in surprise, trying to lift the blanket off Tang Wu Yuan’s head.
Tang Wu Yuan refused to let go of the blanket, nor did he want to see Song Xiao Bai, because he found out that he had fallen in love with his nemesis and was ashamed to see him.
One moment he was talking to Song Xiao Bai about divorce, and the next he was taking the bullet for Song Xiao Bai, what could be more humiliating? What’s more, he had even acted coquettishly with Song before he passed out!
In the past, Tang Wu Yuan had never thought that one day he would be involved with the word ‘coquetry’, let alone that he would one day find himself falling for his nemesis.
When he thought back to the moment he saw the gun being fired at Song Xiao Bai, his mind went blank and he didn’t even think about standing in Song Xiao Bai’s way, he felt ashamed of himself.
But it was also at that moment that he realised that not only did he not want Song Xiao Bai to die, he was even willing to stand in Song Xiao Bai’s way and die for him, and when he woke up just now, the person he wanted to see most in his heart was also Song Xiao Bai.
If he didn’t know what this meant now, he would be a real idiot.
Song Xiao Bai gently tugged at the blanket above his head, not daring to force it for fear of touching his wounds, and could only whisper and coax him to come out of the blanket on his own.
After coaxing for a while, Song Xiao Bai saw that he kept refusing to lift the covers off, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, seemingly guessing what he was thinking, and spoke in a soft voice: “Come out if you have something to say, if you make the wound bleed, be careful I’ll beat your buttocks.”
Old hooligan……Tang Wu Yuan lifted the covers indignantly and glared at him, “You dare!”
“I dare.” Song Xiao Bai smiled, reached out and touched his cheeks that were flushed from hiding under the covers for so long, and said softly, “But I can’t bear to.”
Tang Wu Yuan’s cheeks flushed, his face tingling from Song Xiao Bai’s touch. He grabbed Song Xiao Bai hand and opened his mouth to bite Song Xiao Bai’s finger, gently grinding it with his small white teeth, looking up at Song Xiao Bai threateningly, his eyes as if he was saying, ‘Do you still dare to hit me?’
Not only did Song Xiao Bai not move his hand away, but the corners of his mouth curled up little by little, and his gaze became extraordinarily soft.
Tang Wu Yuan was stunned, then let out a sigh of relief, sticking out his tongue to lick his somewhat pale lips.
Song Xiao Bai’s eyes deepened and his eyes followed Tang Wu Yuan’s tongue around, whispering: “You have injuries, don’t seduce me.”
Tang Wu Yuan’s cheeks flushed red and he glared at him in shame, “Who seduced you……”
Song Xiao Bai reached out and scratched his nose, sitting up straight and saying with a straight face: “I was afraid that Big Dad and Daddy would be worried, so I didn’t tell them about your injury for now.”
Tang Wu Yuan nodded, Song Xiao Bai had done the right thing, it would be best to wait until he had recovered a little before telling Tang Bo Te and Yuan Qiu, otherwise the two of them would be shocked to see him covered in blood. He had already worried them enough and didn’t want to worry them again. Anyway, now that Song Xiao Bai was looking after him in the hospital, there was no need to bother the family.
Song Xiao Bai poured a glass of warm water, gently lifted him up and carefully fed him a few sips.
When Tang Wu Yuan finished drinking the water, he pursed his moist lips, looked up at Song Xiao Bai and asked: “Who tried to kill you, did you find out?”
His voice was as cold as frost, “I haven’t found out yet, but I think it’s our Emperor or Sheng Lian who hasn’t given up and wants to take revenge on me.”
Tang Wu Yuan frowned, “Didn’t Sheng Cen already take care of both of them?”
Song Xiao Bai helped him lie down again and said in a cold voice, “It’s because Sheng Cen took care of them, they are now powerless and that’s why they want to take one last shot, you can recuperate at ease, I’ve already sent someone to investigate. If they really did it, I will definitely not let them off.”
There was an imperceptible flash of darkness in his gaze, if it was really the Emperor or Sheng Lian who had hurt Tang Wu Yuan, he would definitely not let them get away with it.
Tang Wu Yuan nodded and did not think much more about it, a year had passed and the power of the entire empire was now in Sheng Cen’s hands, the Emperor and Sheng Lian were now two mourning dogs1丧家犬 (sàng jiā quǎn): It is usually a metaphor for those who have nowhere to go, run around and become homeless. Generally used in derogatory terms., unable to play much of a game, even the two assassins they sent here today were not capable, otherwise he would not have suffered such a minor injury now, but would have died long ago.
Song Xiao Bai sat down at the edge of his bed and checked his wounds, seeing that no blood was seeping from his wounds, before he put his mind at ease and adjusted the angle of his pillow, speaking softly, “Thank you for today.”
Tang Wu Yuan waved his hand unnaturally and said with a red face, “It’s just a matter of raising a hand.”
Song Xiao Bai looked at him and said solemnly, “It wasn’t a matter of raising a hand, it was a matter of your life, if there is a next time, whether it’s me or anyone else, you should not save, no one’s life in this world is more precious than your own, it’s not worth it at all.”
“It’s up to me to say whether it’s worth it or not.” Tang Wu Yuan muttered in a small voice, hesitated for a moment, raised his head to look at Song Xiao Bai and asked in a soft voice: “If you had seen someone trying to shoot me just now, would you have saved me?”
Song Xiao Bai lowered his eyes and replied without hesitation, “I would.”
What he regretted most was not seeing the gunman before Tang Wu Yuan just now, otherwise he would not have let Tang Wu Yuan have the chance to stand in his way, he would have protected Tang Wu Yuan well and not let him get hurt at all.
Tang Wu Yuan was not convinced, “Since you would have done the same, then who are you to say that about me?”
Song Xiao White looked at him and said in a deep voice, “You are not like me, your life is more precious than mine.”
“But I think so too.” Tang Wu Yuan said in a low voice, his cheeks were snow white because he had lost too much blood, but after he said this, a hint of red slowly came through.
Song Xiao Bai cleared his throat and spoke: “Before the accident just now, you mentioned about divorce……”
“Not divorcing!” Tang Wu Yuan unconsciously shouted, when he reacted, his face became hot, “I……I am not……”
Song Xiao Bai lost his smile, couldn’t resist lowering his head and kissing his forehead, rubbing together for a moment, softly said: “Of course not divorcing.”
Tang Wu Yuan’s eyes twinkled and his lips opened, “You……”
Do you like me?
He was torn for a moment, but did not have the heart to ask, after all, he and Song Xiao Bai had been nemesis for so long, suddenly asking such questions about his feelings made him a little uncomfortable, he pursed his lips in chagrin and nibbled lightly on his lower lip.
“I like you.” Song Xiao Bai looked at him and suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
Tang Wu Yuan’s eyes trembled, and his heart instantly felt like a firework had exploded.
“Rea, really?” He raised his head and gave Song Xiao Bai a quick glance, then quickly lowered his head again and asked in a mumbling voice: “Why ah?”
Before they got married, he always acted against Song Xiao Bai and made him angry, and after they got married, he still always tormented Song Xiao Bai, even the breakfast he made was not good at all, so why did Song Xiao Bai like him?
Song Xiao Bai reached out and nudged the tip of his little nose, curving his lips in a smile, “Because apart from you, no one else would make me think he is cute when he pissed me off.”
He had unconsciously paid attention to Tang Wu Yuan when he was training. Tang Wu Yuan was different from the others in that he had a unyielding stubbornness about him that was so dazzling that people couldn’t take their eyes off him, especially when he made him angry, his flamboyant appearance was extraordinarily cute.
Tang Wu Yuan looked up at Song Xiao Bai, how could this man not have a red face when he spoke sweet words?
He couldn’t help but smile and asked in a soft voice: “Aren’t you going to ask me if I like you?”
Song Xiao Bai saw the eagerness in his eyes and asked with a low smile: “Do you really want me to ask?”
Tang Wu Yuan nodded, his eyes glowing, “You quickly ask, then I can answer quickly.”
“But what if I already know?” Song Xiao Bai touched his bloodless lips, his eyes filled with a strong heartache, “You’ve already helped me block the gun, how could I not understand.”
If Song Xiao Bai didn’t ask, Tang Wu Yuan couldn’t express his liking. He couldn’t help but frown in frustration as he wanted to say ‘like’ to Song Xiao Bai in person.
Just when he thought Song Xiao Bai wouldn’t ask, Song Xiao Bai spoke in a low voice, “Wu Yuan, I like you, do you like me?”
His gaze fell gently but firmly on Tang Wu Yuan’s cheek, and his voice was filled with a seriousness that had never been seen before.
Tang Wu Yuan raised his eyes in surprise and immediately said happily in a brittle voice: “Like! I like you!”
Song Xiao Bai’s throat moved and he couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss Tang Wu Yuan on the lips, like a dragonfly touching water, leaving after a slight touch.
He was worried about touching Tang Wu Yuan’s wound and didn’t dare to make a rash move.
Tang Wu Yuan pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, shouldn’t this be the time for a deep French kiss?
His eyes rolled and he said with a red face: “The ward smells like disinfectant, it doesn’t smell good at all. It’ll be good if there are other smells which can just suppress the smell of disinfectant.”
Song Xiao Bai asked: “I’ll go out and buy you some bouquets of flowers and put them in the ward, okay?”
Tang Wu Yuan shook his head, “That’s too slow, I want it now.”
Seeing that Song Xiao Bai still didn’t understand, he couldn’t help but say, “I’ve let you smell my pheromones so many times, shouldn’t you give me a sniff too?”
Song Xiao Bai understood, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise as he lowered his voice and said, “You know it, pheromones need a bit of stimulation before they’ll emit, so if you want to smell my pheromones, you’ll have to figure out how to do it yourself.”
Tang Wu Yuan blinked, his voice pleasantly loud, “How about a kiss?”
Song Xiao Bai smiled and lowered his head, his slightly cool lips landing on Tang Wu Yuan’s lips, gently tracing the shape of his lips.
The two of them hit it off and shared a lingering and sweet kiss, not separating even when the room was covered with the sweet smell.
