After three days pass by, Snow who has been in an extremely deep sleep that nothing could wake him up has finally opened his eyes.
And what causes Snow to be unable to wake up despite how desperate the Emperor to look the reason of his sudden deep sleep was because of the side effect of taking the cheating potion in order to strengthen his body while disregarding and not affecting his vulnerable heart from acting out as he fought.
While the first person he saw as soon as his eyes opened was the haggard appearance of the Emperor who has been showing such a solemn expression before flinching in great surprise as soon as their eyes met, in which a concern expression has immediately appeared on his face while hovering over in the beside.
"Baby, you are awake! How are you feeling? Do you feel any pain? How is your body? Is your heart alright? Just tell me so we can treat it quickly!"
"Baby?"
Snow that continues to lay down in the bed having no strength to even get up, much less raising his upper body has slowly raised his hand to gently massage his throbbing forehead while showing a puzzled expression, especially when speaking the familiar word with a confuse sounds.
"Baby…what is wrong..?"
The Emperor who has been thoroughly happy that the person he loves has finally woke up after the three days of being worried to the point of death has carefully questioned in uncertainty while feeling a bit flustered inside as he gazes upon those confused eyes that were silently staring at him with a doubtful expression.
"Your Majesty… please forgive me…but let me think in silence… it seemed that my memories are a bit in shamble..."
"...!"
Snow felt utterly confused since the memories of what happened that night before were blending in toward his other memories, which is linking even toward the lives of the previous worlds that he travels with.
Although he could tell that what causing his memories to become this chaotic was because of the aftereffect of the potion he took.
This is the reason why Snow can only use that cheat potion for emergency reasons and situations because it truly is an annoying matter.
And when Snow watch as an invincible panel appeared, completely showing the effect of taking the potion cheat has shown that it was still in effect, while the first three days of being unconscious without being able to wake up even if his life is in great danger were finally achieved.
As for the rest of the after effect that will follow later, well, Snow just needs to calmly deal with it since he knows of what he was getting at.
Honestly, Snow entire situation is more bothersome than dangerous though since he only doesn't know what happened during the moment that he has taken the potion cheat and just needs to rummage on his memories to figure it all out, unlike the amnesia effect he got to the other list of potion cheat that he has been choosing before in the Black Trade Shop.
Nonetheless, Snow can still figure out that in some way, he has already become an official lover with the Emperor if he is now hearing the endearing loving name that his lover usually calls him.
"Don't be sad… I'll remember what happened in a few days… and if your Majesty is calling me, Baby… I can undoubtedly figure out the situation between us…"
Snow saw the troubled expression in the Emperor's face just silently watches as his lover hesitatingly grabbed his hands with a gentle tight grip that spoke of never wanting of letting go of him despite having a hard time remembering what happened during that special night of their confession of love with each other.
"Only my lover can call me that special title, so… can I assume that I am now together with you, your Majesty?"
"...! Yes… we are now lovers… so, just call me love as you have done before…"
"Um… Love… I still feel weak… so I can only weakly lay down for now…"
A potion that would cause Snow to be vulnerable after taking it, among the potion cheat in the list on the Black Trade Shop, this one was the most safer option he got and the reason why Snow has chosen such troublesome and dangerous after effect among the others was because of the absolute beliefs he got toward his lover of always protecting his well-being even at the exchange of his own life.
Of course, Snow would also do the same to his lover when it needed be, he would never betray the love they have with each other.
"My love… don't worry, my weakness is only the after effect of using the rare special power that won't cause my health to become threatening. I can only do this three times in my entire life… so I can only apply it if a situation forces me to use it as a last result."
Well, Snow is just speaking half-lie and half-truth though since he only got two of those potions left on his inventory panel, although the Emperor expression didn't change despite the explanation that SNow has given while watching as his hand was raised over before his lover has placed a gentle kiss full of tenderness upon it.
"Baby, I'm sorry for not being able to protect you. I was late, and I even let you undergo such hardship and distressing experience, however, I am eternally grateful that you are still safe, sound, and simply alive with me today."
"Heheh… my love… I have a certain feeling that you will take care of me after I use the special power… so I wasn't worried and scared knowing that everything will turn out alright…although something important seemed to have happened too... you know that I'm a... right?"
"My feeling for you will never change… I love you of who you are… gender and appearance don't matter one bit."
Hearing such familiar loving words that always warm Snow heart cause a gentle smile to appeared on his face while he couldn't wait to remember what happened before, although he will hear about it later on, but being able to recall it is far satisfying than being told of the events.
"... I'm hungry…"
As soon as Snow spoke those words out, the Emperor immediately went to get the food himself, of course after ordering the guard to never let anyone enter no matter who they are, although Snow can still sense that the entire place that he has been staying with, which was the Emperor chamber, was tightly surrounded with dark guards hiding in the shadow.
And when Snow senses the entire place once again to make sure the place he was staying, even he acknowledges how completely overkill the protection around him was, although he can see and feel the fact that the Emperor truly treasured him.
Shortly, Snow saw that his lover has quickly arrived back carrying a tray of a familiar medicinal soup that he has been eating before while his lover was quickly followed by a smiling Yu Xing and Zhuang that felt happy knowing that he was now wide awake just by their expression alone.
"Baby, you can only eat light food today. I��ll make sure that you will get to eat delicious and healthy food later on. So bear with this for now."
Snow who was being treated as a treasured person felt his body being gently raised over before leaning into the body of his lover, causing his face to show an extremely gentle smile while obediently opening his mouth when the Emperor himself wanted to carefully feed him.
While Zhuang and Yu Xing have blinked their eyes in great surprise after seeing such careful, tender, and kind Lou Fang that thoughtfully treat his newfound lover with great affections, although they already know how much their Emperor has fallen in love to the young man after witnessing that night and what he has done after Wen Yao has fainted are still astounded to see the Emperor act this way.
"... I want to take a bath…"
Shortly, after Snow is finally finished being lovingly fed by his lover, he innocently blinks his eyes when he felt that the Emperor's body has suddenly frozen over after hearing those words out, after all, he already spoken about unable to move by himself right now.
And Snow who knows the entire reason of why his lover has frozen has inwardly smile before once more requesting of truly wanting to take a bath in a normal voice, however, when the Emperor remain silent, Snow with an innocent expression has suddenly uttered a bold word that causes Zhuang and Yu Xing to let out a silent cough with how shocked they felt.
"... my love… do you want to be the one to bath me?"
"... Baby… can I?"
Showing a shy expression, Snow pale cheeks flushed in a lovely shade of pink color before shyly nodding his head causing the Emperor silver eyes to darken with chaotic emotions, and a few seconds later, Snow found himself being carried over toward the large hot spring that the Emperor can only use.
And when Snow was gently placed down in a soft chair, he silently watches as the Emperor appeared in front while reaching his hands to slowly take off his clothes.
At first, it was Snow outer robe, then the inner robe that has instantly showed his pale fragile shoulders to be exposed before being followed by a delicate chest that causes the Emperor movement to finally stop while appearing to have taken a deep breath.
However, contrary to what Snow expected to come next while feeling excited and ready to tease his lover when the Emperor of all people has suddenly turned around and raised his hands to cover his face.
"... Baby… I…"
Snow with a daze expression has become stunned before slowly lowering his gaze downward and stared at the jade ground that has suddenly got a small red dot upon it, which was the crimson blood of the Emperor that has suddenly got a nosebleed after gazing at Snow naked upper body.
"..."
Love… aren't you too innocent? Now I'm extremely worried about our future happiness, especially when I got this heart problem and now even you got a problem too?
In the end, Snow who felt greatly disappointed while extremely worried about their future intimate situation was being bathed by a careful and happy Wen Yu that was directly taken in the Palace in order to take care of him by the Emperor who is now in hiding from shame.
