The wedding night was even more romantic than Ren Shuhan had imagined.
Because he discovered that his wife loved him more than he had thought.
Jiang Qingyue, who reminisced about the past, was very clingy, but when asked what he was thinking about, he would hum and haw and couldn’t say anything, just knew how to hug Ren Shuhan and cuddle, saying things like “I really like you too” and “Give me a chance to treat you better”…
If it weren’t for seeing him so emotionally charged today, Ren Shuhan would have tied him to the bedpost and blindfolded him, pinned him down, stripped off his bathrobe, and indulged in him with a red ribbon tied up at will.
Hmm, this is being good to me.
He even blushed and accepted all of his messy hobbies, and Ren Shuhan felt that his baby could already tolerate him a lot. If he tried a little harder, he might end up dying in his arms.
So what exactly happened?
Although the memories in this world were not perfect, Ren Shuhan carefully recalled that it shouldn’t have made him so sad, right?
It might be because “the hurt is on him, but the pain is in my heart.” Putting himself in Jiang Qingyue’s shoes, if he had heard that Jiang Qingyue had been poisoned and paralyzed for life, and he couldn’t go to see him and take care of him, he would also feel very upset.
So Ren Shuhan indulged him.
Despite being teased to the brink of explosion, he didn’t ruin the mood by directly getting handsy. Instead, he gently hugged him, stroked him, kissed his forehead and cheeks, occasionally nibbled his neck, and sucked on the small patch of skin where his sensitive glands used to be covered.
“I’ll ask the system to give your glands back,” Ren Shuhan licked his neck and whispered, “That way you won’t have the energy to think about anything else.”
Jiang Qingyue, tired from crying and sleepy, hummed softly like a kitten.
Whether he agreed or not, Ren Shuhan took it upon himself to interpret it as agreement, so the room was filled with the sweet smell of chocolate, as if it was a midnight snack for Ren Shuhan. The faint smell of alcohol quickly calmed Jiang Qingyue’s mood, and he fell asleep immediately.
In his dreams, he still held onto Ren Shuhan’s clothes.
“Still acting cute at this age?”
Ren Shuhan playfully scolded him in his heart, gently sliding his index finger over his cheek.
So tender, it feels so good.
Since he woke up early this morning and didn’t sleep well last night, Jiang Qingyue slept very soundly. Ren Shuhan helped him undress, took off his wedding clothes, and held him in his arms, patting him, but he didn’t react at all.
The smell of alcohol even spilled out of the room, and the guards outside thought to themselves: What a player.
But Ren Shuhan just stared at his wife’s sleeping face for a long time, deciding to ask him for an explanation tomorrow morning.
Although his wife looked beautiful in the red wedding dress, he also looked beautiful in the mermaid-style backless dress he had worn before, and even when he had urged him to change into a cheongsam, he had looked equally beautiful in the white suit he often wore. Ren Shuhan wasn’t in a hurry at the moment; he didn’t need to enjoy him only on this night.
After falling in love with him, even when he was wearing his school uniform, he looked like the cutest person in the world, and even his simple T-shirt and ordinary jeans outlined curves that made Ren Shuhan wonder if he was being seduced.
On their wedding night, his wife just wanted kisses and heart-to-heart talks, so they talked. In moments of tenderness like this, who cared about his self-control?
However, the next morning, after waking up, Jiang Qingyue was dragged into a bath by him.
Then he came out with bruises all over his body, covering his neck and forbidding Ren Shuhan from biting him again.
“Otherwise, I’ll take back the ABO settings,” he threatened.
Ren Shuhan hugged him from behind and pouted, “Yesterday you said I was good, and you wanted me to be nicer to you.”
Jiang Qingyue’s legs softened, and his heart softened too. “That’s right… okay.”
Ren Shuhan: !
Thank goodness for the good karma from my past life.
So just after they finished their honeymoon from the previous world, they went on another one a few days later. Jiang Qingyue’s steps were a bit shaky, while Ren Shuhan was full of energy.
“There’s nothing to do in the palace,” Ren Shuhan argued confidently, “Let me take you out for a walk so you won’t always think about playing with me.”
Jiang Qingyue asked, “What about the morning court? What about the state affairs?”
“Leave it to the system, and besides, there’s Wen Xin here too,” Ren Shuhan reassured him, “We can go out and play for a few years without any problems.”
Jiang Qingyue thought about wanting to go back to the world where the system was located earlier, but he was conflicted because he also wanted to go along with him. So he just said, “Then I’ll stop by my parents’ house on the way back to tell them.”
After marrying into the palace, his parents no longer treated him as their son.
But after all, they had spent many years together in the setting, so Ren Shuhan could understand his feelings. He took him on a tour of the capital, revisiting the places they used to go on dates, and then sent him back to his mansion.
“Do you still remember this place?” Passing by a cockfighting arena where a group of people used to gather, Ren Shuhan teased him, “I brought you here when you were little, and you almost cried.”
Little Jiang Qingyue covered his eyes and said that the chickens were all gone, feeling sorry for them.
So Ren Shuhan bought the place with money, closed it down, but after a few years, someone else reopened it.
“You really like small animals,” Ren Shuhan couldn’t help but laugh when he remembered releasing dolphins for him and leveling horse racing tracks for him, “You’re so kind, you even want to say goodbye to your unfamiliar parents… Are you Snow White?”
Jiang Qingyue: …
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, so he just held Ren Shuhan’s hand and wandered around, retorting, “I’m not kind at all, I’m very bad.”
“Yeah,” Ren Shuhan interlocked their fingers, “You’re really amazing, having played the role of a villain before.”
Jiang Qingyue hesitated to speak, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
After returning to the mansion, Ren Shuhan walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, letting him chat with his family alone, and then he took him back to the palace for dinner together.
The setting sun illuminated the beautiful capital, and Jiang Qingyue felt the warmth in his palm as they chatted about family matters.
“My father asked me to put in a good word for you,” Jiang Qingyue said calmly.
Ren Shuhan: ?
“He said that Qingci is not eating or drinking well now, and he also wants to enter the palace. No matter how he persuades or scolds him, it’s useless,” Jiang Qingyue calmly spoke about his brother’s situation, “So he asked me if you could take another wife.”
Ren Shuhan almost laughed out loud, “What nonsense is this?”
“They say he’s gone crazy,” Jiang Qingyue leaned against his shoulder, speaking somewhat sourly, “He really likes you a lot.”
Ren Shuhan looked down at him with a smile, “Darling, even if you’re jealous, you should follow the basic rules, right? He likes me? Someone like him only loves himself.”
Jiang Qingyue immediately moved his head away from his shoulder and stopped walking. Instead, he widened his eyes and quietly looked at him for a while, then punched his shoulder lightly.
Ren Shuhan covered his shoulder, which didn’t really hurt, “???”
But his heart hurts! Darling, you actually hit me?
“How could he not like you?” Jiang Qingyue grabbed his hand again and cuddled up to him, walking and talking, “Although I feel like he may not love you as much as I do, he still loves you a lot.”
Ren Shuhan just felt like he was being teased, “Stop kidding, baby.”
“Don’t you believe it?” Jiang Qingyue looked at him with an incredulous expression.
Ren Shuhan looked back at him with the same incredulity, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I’ll make a bet with you!” Jiang Qingyue rarely showed such a childish side, saying stubbornly without joking.
Ren Shuhan was puzzled, “How do you want to bet?”
Jiang Qingyue thought for a moment, “My system is simple, not as advanced as yours, but don’t you have a reincarnation option? Try reincarnating once and see if Jiang Qingci still wants to enter the palace?”
Ren Shuhan readily agreed, “Let’s give it a try.”
Under the palace wall, the two walked hand in hand, turned a corner, and went back two years.
Ren Shuhan chuckled and asked Jiang Qingyue, “I kidnapped you from home, shouldn’t you say goodbye once?”
Ignoring him, Jiang Qingyue just waved his hand, urging him to quickly push the timeline forward by two years. Then he covered his face with a handkerchief, grabbed Ren Shuhan, and ran towards the mansion, looking at the high wall in the distance.
“Don’t look,” Ren Shuhan frowned, “He really didn’t enter the palace.”
As they reached the corner of the road, they met Jiang Qingci who was about to enter the house.
If Jiang Qingci only cared about fame and fortune, he should have tried to marry Lu Bing by now.
But now he was standing still, staring blankly at Ren Shuhan.
Ren Shuhan pretended not to recognize him, naturally wrapping his right hand around Jiang Qingyue’s shoulder and leading him away. He lowered his head and asked him, “Why is it like this? Why doesn’t he want to enter the palace now?”
Jiang Qingyue’s expression turned even more sour, “He doesn’t like the people in the palace.”
Ren Shuhan: …
This is unreal!
Ren Shuhan had always thought that the protagonist was just fixated on his character, but it turned out he also had feelings?
“He likes you so much that he’s gone crazy for you,” Jiang Qingyue complained as he looked at Ren Shuhan, “What do you say to that?”
This was an undeserved disaster, and Ren Shuhan could only brush it off, “I still like you. I’m willing to give up a flourishing empire for you. How about you? Will you come away with me? I’ll take you to play in the mountains?”
Jiang Qingyue was successfully teased by him and nodded.
They didn’t return to the palace but went to the post station, where they got a horse each and rode together to the south.
In front of the mansion, Jiang Qingci stood alone for a long time.
He saw a man he cared about a lot holding someone else’s hand affectionately and walking away, while he stayed in the same place, watching the scene as if he had seen it many, many times before.
Living in confusion, aimlessly, until a few years later, a familiar system electronic sound rang out, and Jiang Qingci finally woke up from his daze.
“Dear player, welcome back to the ‘Sweet Slaughter’ game hall. Your transmigration experience card and protagonist halo card have expired. Do you want to continue with the ranked match?”
He squinted his eyes, adjusted to the panel in front of him for a moment, and pressed “Yes”.
At the same time, Ren Shuhan, who had been traveling with his wife for several years, also woke up.
He saw his wife looking very conflicted, so he simply encrypted his original memories and decided to talk about them in the next world. But the memories of this world came back, and he remembered why he had come here—
He was here to find Jiang Qingyue.
His system wasn’t originally designed for transmigration, but it was rather a reincarnation simulator—he had actually treated the main function of this system as a little extra!
Ren Shuhan opened his eyes helplessly.
In front of him was a huge electronic screen with a glass cover, originally empty, but now containing a naked long-haired beauty, lying peacefully in a vacuum and slowly opening his eyes.
“Welcome back, dear player, to the ‘Sweet Slaughter’ game hall. I am your exclusive AI assistant. Friendly reminder:
“Your character reincarnation simulator has been used up. Please check if the character data you created is correct.”
“It is.”
Just by looking at the way he looked at him and smiled, Ren Shuhan could tell that everything was correct.
He strode over to the beautiful person in front of him, and the glass cover automatically opened. The two embraced tightly.
“This is too messy,” Jiang Qingyue lightly patted his back, “I didn’t expect to end up here in this way.”
What..the…actual… F%%K????? WHAT happened??????
