Chapter 122 - 122 – The Sweet Young Couple

Dr. Gordon gave Ren a thorough check up, and then, upon Ren's insistence, Dr. Gordon gave Fang a thorough check up as well.

"You two and your mysterious illness symptoms!" Dr. Gordon complained after checking them over. "Both of you are as fit as a fiddle, but show signs of exhaustion – and you, Ren, really need to work on your stamina and overall strength. I can see that Fang has been taking good care of you from how much you have improved since the last time I checked up you." He turned to Fang and patted the young man on the shoulder. "Good job, young Fang!" he praised. "We'll rely on you to keep this stubborn and lazy idiot in check for the rest of his life."

Fang flushed and nodded shyly.

"My Fang is the best," Ren boasted.

The two nurses giggled again.

Dr, Gordon glanced at them and raised an eyebrow enquiringly. These two were usually the most level headed nurses he had seen in general, and they had been quite efficient the day before. Why were they giggling like school girls seeing their celebrity idols for the first time today? Every single person at SIMS had become quite used to Ren and Fang by now and treated them quite normally, so this kind of behaviour was quite unusual, not to mention, annoying.

The two nurses flushed with embarrassment at Dr. Gordon's accusing glance.

"Sorry," one of the nurses said in a small voice. "It's just – it's just that Chairman Ren and Fang make such a sweet couple and with all the stuff on the internet and seeing them like this, it's just too adorable! We're rooting for you and supporting you, Chairman Ren and Fang!" Her voice grew quite enthusiastic towards the end.

"Yes! We will always support you and you are the best couple ever! We won't let anyone say otherwise! We hope that you two will always be together just like this! It's so sweet!" the other nurse pitched in enthusiastically.

Ren shot a questioning glance at Fang.

Fang shrugged. "I made some clarifications online," he said simply.

Ren frowned. "Clarifications? For what? Did anyone bully you on the internet? Who is it? Have you informed Pax? Is the legal team on it?" he asked in a rush.

The two nurses squealed like they were teenage fan girls instead of middle aged professional ladies!

Fang chuckled and shook his head. "All done," he said.

Ren narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Fang shrugged with a light smile on his face. But his glowing purple eyes clearly showed that he was quite pleased with the outcome!

But since Fang was unwilling to let Ren know all the details, Ren could only seek it elsewhere. So, Ren turned to look at the two giggling nurses and flashed them a charming smile.

"Could you let me know what happened, please?" he asked courteously. "My dear Fang doesn't seem to want to talk about it, and my heart will ache if my Fang is wrong by other people…"

The sincere entreaty in his golden eyes would have melted even the hardest of hearts, let alone two ladies who were very fond of Ren and Fang to begin with and were full of determination to protect this lovely young couple from the bad people outside! After all Chairman Ren and young Fang were "their people" and no one was allowed to bully either one of them or try to break them up!

So, the two nurses happily told Ren all about Fang's posts and how swiftly Sirocco's legal team and Pax had backed him up, and how the whole thing had become an international sensation over the internet overnight. Many of the people Ren and Fang worked with in other countries – especially the Dragon Nation and Sand Country – had immediately jumped up to support Fang and added appreciation for the young couple and everyone had unanimously called them the most well matched power couple they had ever seen. Many ordinary people, who had immense goodwill for both Ren and Fang from the previous media incidents (as well as Pax's careful cultivation of the perception of Ren and Fang as the ultimate adorable and brilliant super couple over the last one year) had immediately leaped on board to add their views and bash all the people who had been slandering Chairman Ren and badmouthing him for being together with Fang. And as for Ren's internet fan army – they had gone completely ballistic.

The two nurses even showed Ren some of the trending memes and GIFs – as for the RPF category fan fiction, some of them were a bit too steamy, so they wisely kept their mouth shut about it.

Ren was stunned. Fang had actually managed to do all this while Ren himself was sleeping peacefully?

Ren looked up at Fang, and saw that Fang was biting his lips nervously, as if worried about Ren's reaction to the steps Fang had taken.

Ren shook his head fondly and let the warm currents gushing through him show up on his face. "Ah, come here, you, my big darling," he said to Fang, holding out his hand.

Fang approached him shyly and was immediately pulled into a tight hug.

"My big darling has really grown up to be big and strong and is even protecting me like this now," Ren praised, pulling back and caressing Fang's face with gentle fingers. "Thank you, my dear," he said gratefully. "I must be the luckiest man in the world to have somehow managed to win your heart."

Fang shook his head. "I am the fortunate one," he murmured shyly. "Without you, I would not even be here – and, perhaps, I would not even be alive. You have saved me, on so many days and in so many ways – I can't even begin to count."

"You have done the same for me, and you know it," Ren said to Fang.

Dr. Gordon sighed at the bowl dog food being served – well, if you could still refer to a bath tub sized bowl as a bowl – and led the two giggling nurses out of the room. It was best to discharge Ren and send him home with Fang so that they could carry on with their lovey dovey things in the privacy of their own homes and not torture the rest of the ordinary folks with their overflowing fountain of love!

And thus, an hour later, Ren and Fang had been sent home by Dr. Gordon with Pax escorting them like a chaperone!

At home, the four babies immediately jumped on their two fathers the moment Ren and Fang entered the door.

With an indulgent smile, Ren picked up Smoke and Shadow, and Fang picked up Snow and Sylvia, and made their way to the living room.

Steward Paul, Chef Jules and Wolf were waiting for them with differing expressions on their faces.

"Master Ren, how are you feeling now?" Steward Paul asked anxiously.

"I am perfectly fine, Steward Paul," Ren replied with a reassuring smile. "Dr. Gordon checked thoroughly before sending me home."

"I will make more nutritious food for you from now on, Master Ren," Chef Jules said tearfully. "To think that you collapsed just like that…"

"And you have to regulate your working hours, Master Ren and Young Master Fang," Steward Paul nagged. "Even if you are young, you should not exhaust yourself on a regular basis like this – it is really bad for your health."

Both Ren and Fang felt the warm comfort of home as Steward Paul and Chef Jules nagged and fussed over them for quite some time.

Then they decided that the two young men needed to be fed a wholesome meal and went off to make arrangements for that.

"Daddy, there is new magic around you," Smoke told Ren.

"Daddy's magic around Papa has changed as well," Snow pointed out.

"But it is stronger now," Shadow said.

Sylvia, who was the most familiar with magic, stared at Ren with wide eyes. "Daddy and Papa combined some magic?" she asked curiously.

"Your Papa did it," Ren told Sylvia, and the little snake immediately climbed up Fang's arm and started questioning him.

Wolf and Pax watched them fondly.

Ren turned to Wolf and Pax while Sylvia was grilling Fang.

"Thank you," Ren said gratefully. "I don't know what we would have done without you."

Wolf waved away his gratitude with a casual gesture of his hand. "There is no need to thank me," he said. "I am always more than happy to spend some time with my cute little nieces and nephews – although, I would be happier if the two of you weren't stuck at the hospital."

Ren could only smile in response.

Pax pushed up his glasses on his elegant nose and his glasses flashed for a moment, giving the impression of a super powered and super intelligent and sophisticated villain in an anime. "Fang is the one who handled the matter on the internet," he said.. "He has done very well, I should say."
