Chapter 200

200 IF HE DIED

Even if he didn’t try to look at his reflection in the mirror, Bai Chen felt that he might look like a zombie now. From Bai Lang, he knew that there were only werewolves, humans, and demons in this world, but the little wolf never mentioned zombies here.

So, Bai Chen assumed that there were no zombies in this world, and perhaps he was the only person who looked like a zombie in this world.

“Are you inside, Bai Chen?”

Someone suddenly broke Bai Chen’s reverie with a loud voice, and the voice came from outside the pavilion. After Bai Renshu died, usually only two people called him by his name, and those two were the Emperor and the shameless Zhu Ge.

Bai Chen had met the Emperor earlier today after Bai Renshu’s funeral, and it could be said that his current bad mood was caused by his meeting with Bai Guowei today. He thought that the conversation with Bai Guowei was more than enough, and it couldn’t be the Emperor who suddenly came to his place.

So, there was only one possibility left, and Bai Chen could actually recognize the voice even if he didn’t recall the memory of his dialogue with the Emperor earlier today.

Sighing heavily, the Werewolf Prince finally got up from his bed before walking towards the door of his pavilion. He immediately opened the door, and he could see how Zhu Ge was grinning at him as usual.

When everyone in the Rongyao Imperial Palace and his palace mourned Bai Renshu wearing dull white clothes for three days, the shameless Zhu Ge was still wearing red clothes, and that was why Bai Chen sighed again after he saw the man’s stubbornness.

“Didn’t I tell you to change your clothes before I went to Crown Prince Bai Renshu’s funeral today?” Bai Chen lazily asked the taller man.

.....

Even if his mind was preoccupied with many things today, Bai Chen still remembered how he spoke to his two servants today. Back then, Ma Qiao was already wearing white, and that was why he only scolded Zhu Ge because that man dared to wear such a bold color when they were supposed to be mourning the death of the Crown Prince.

“Why should I mourn Bai Renshu?” Zhu Ge asked with a nonchalant shrug. “I’m not from Dong Lang, so I don’t need to grieve just because the Crown Prince of Dong Lang just died, right?”

For some reason, Bai Chen had already expected such a response from the man in red. From the start, Zhu Ge had always been an arrogant man, and even if Bai Chen had told the man to wear a white hanfu ever since the man had officially become his servant, the man still stubbornly pretended to be deaf as he continued wearing red clothes.

Even before Bai Renshu died, Zhu Ge had been very stubborn, and now there was no change even after the Crown Prince tragically died.

“Maybe you don’t want to wear white clothes when I die either, do you, Zhu Ge? If I die before you, you don’t want to mourn me, do you?”

“...” This time, Zhu Ge looked stunned, and he couldn’t even immediately answer Bai Chen’s questions.

Bai Chen suddenly sounded very gloomy, and he assumed that it was due to the fact that he had just heard from Bai Lang that was related to the real Bai Chen of this world.

From the little wolf, he learned of the fact that the real Bai Chen had died after he committed suicide, and he couldn’t help but imagine his death as well. For some reason, he started thinking about his own death, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart even if he had experienced death once.

‘Strange, but I’m more worried about Bai Chen’s death than my own,’ Bai Chen thought to himself as he realized the strangeness he was feeling.

Both he and the real Bai Chen in this world had experienced death, but their fates were different as he managed to get a second chance at life while the other Bai Chen might already be in the underworld by now.

Their fates were indeed different, and for some reason, Bai Chen felt even worse when he thought about how the real Bai Chen in this world had committed suicide for reasons he didn’t know.

“That would be different,” Zhu Ge finally answered, and Bai Chen confusedly blinked at the man wearing red.

Bai Chen was deep in thought, and that was why he didn’t understand the answer that came from the taller man. “What?” He finally asked the man while tilting his head in confusion.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Maybe Bai Chen didn’t intend to appear cute in front of the other man, but the way he tilted his head innocently did look adorable in Zhu Ge’s eyes, and the taller man finally smiled again before leaning forward and gently kissing Bai Chen’s cheek.

It was a kiss on the cheek, and Bai Chen widened his blue eyes when he suddenly received a sudden kiss from the man. “Why did you suddenly kiss me?” He even questioned the man angrily while covering his cheek with his palm after Zhu Ge’s lips landed on it.

Zhu Ge had straightened up, and he smiled sweetly at the shorter man as he replied, “I kissed you to prove that it would be different if you were the one who died, Bai Chen.”

Now Bai Chen finally understood the meaning behind Zhu Ge’s statement earlier. They did talk about Bai Renshu’s death earlier, and it turned out that the man in red still wanted to continue the conversation even though the man was silent for a moment.

“Are you sure it will be different if I die? Are you willing to wear white clothes if I die?” Bai Chen asked, but the answer he received from Zhu Ge was unexpected.

“No, I won’t wear white clothes, but I will follow you soon, Bai Chen. I will also die if you die.”

And Bai Chen’s body froze, but his heart skipped a beat after hearing Zhu Ge’s confident answer.
