Chapter 254

254 WU JIANG...

Bai Chen could feel his heart pounding behind his ribs, and he was also having a hard time breathing when he learned the boy’s name. His eyes were still closed, and he still couldn’t move his body.

However, the dimension he was currently in seemed unstable at the moment. He was previously surrounded by darkness, but the light suddenly flashed in that place several times as if it was a broken light that kept flashing randomly.

And at that moment, he could feel how his body was being shaken, and he could also hear a voice, “Wake up, Bai Chen! You will be fine once you open your eyes!”

He once again heard someone asking him to wake up, but this time, the voice did not belong to Tang Yanmei. ‘Wu Jinhai?’ He thought to himself as he managed to recognize that the voice indeed belonged to Wu Jinhai.

It seemed that his body was now lying on a flat surface that felt like the floor, but his head was on a softer surface that was also warm. Moreover, he could also feel how someone might hug his shoulder, and he suddenly wanted to wake up as soon as possible.

So, Bai Chen tried hard to open his eyes. Even if he managed to find a lot of information once he was in the strange dimension, he believed that he would be able to discover more once he woke up, and that was why he kept trying to open his eyes.

And after trying hard for a while, the previously unconscious Bai Chen finally opened his eyes, and the first thing his blue eyes saw was Wu Jinhai’s looking worried figure as he continued to stare at him. At this time, he also noticed that it was Wu Jinhai who was hugging his shoulder, and he could also feel his head resting on Wu Jinhai’s thigh now.

No wonder he felt his head resting on a softer surface compared to the floor. Perhaps Wu Jinhai was worried that his head would hurt if he lay on the floor, and that was why the man purposely rested his head on his thigh.

“You finally opened your eyes! Are you okay, Bai Chen? I didn’t intervene in your mind too much, so you must be fine now, right?” Asked the man in red, and from how the last question left the man’s lips, Bai Chen could guess that Wu Jinhai knew what he had just experienced.

.....

“So, you sent me to the strange dimension?” Weakly, Bai Chen asked the black-haired man.

He could feel how Wu Jinhai was using his free hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He didn’t even notice that he was sweating profusely at the moment, and that was why he could only let the taller man do as he pleased because he still didn’t get enough energy to wake up right now.

While using his right hand to wipe the sweat off Bai Chen’s forehead, Wu Jinhai nodded to answer the werewolf’s question. Even if it was just a nonverbal reply from the Eldest Prince of Wu Li, it was enough to confirm Bai Chen’s suspicions.

Actually, Bai Chen had more than one question in his head after the other man gave him confirmation, but he was at a loss to choose the first question he should ask the man.

Should he first ask the reason why Wu Jinhai suddenly sent him to that dimension? Or maybe he should first ask how Wu Jinhai managed to send him to that dimension?

Bai Chen was indeed flustered, and although his body was still very weak lying on the floor, he managed to raise his left hand before landing it on Wu Jinhai’s face. Due to his touch, Wu Jinhai suddenly stopped the movement of his hand, and their pair of eyes met in an invisible line.

Bai Chen first used his left hand to caress Wu Jinhai’s cheek, but then he carefully moved it to the man’s forehead before his long fingers hesitantly grazed the golden scales on the man’s forehead.

“Wu Jiang...” A whisper escaped his lips, and Wu Jinhai looked dumbfounded after hearing it.

It was the only whisper that came from Bai Chen, and the younger man didn’t even explain the reason why he suddenly called Wu Jinhai by that name, but Wu Jinhai was able to immediately understand the meaning behind it.

Suddenly, tears started to form in Wu Jinhai’s eyes, and even Bai Chen looked stunned as he once again moved his raised hand, and now he used his finger to wipe the tears from the man’s eyes.

“Why are you crying? You don’t like it when I call you by your birth name?” Asked the Werewolf Prince as he continued to use his thumb to wipe the tears from Wu Jinhai’s eyes.

It might be the first time he saw this side of Wu Jinhai, and it might also be the first time he had seen the man cry. When that man appeared before him as Wu Jinhai or Zhu Ge, he seemed like a tough person who wouldn’t shed a tear, but he guessed wrongly because the man was still a human with a heart, and that was why he still had a soft side in him even if the hard side showed up more often.

“It’s not like that,” Wu Jinhai replied as he gently grabbed Bai Chen’s left hand so that the Werewolf Prince wouldn’t have to wipe his tears again. “You call me that, so I guess you already know the truth about what happened between us all those years ago? I’m the stupid child you saved all those years ago, Bai Chen. If not for your Power Crystal, then I would have died by the river, and my mother probably wouldn’t want to see me die just like that. That’s why I have to say that you are my hero, Bai Chen.”

And after finishing his speech, Wu Jinhai suddenly lowered his head, and he only stopped when his lips touched Bai Chen’s.
