<h4>Chapter 6.12</h4>
Fan Yuan was experiencing a big storm in his mind. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly returned to his senses and turned to m the door shut. Thankfully, he didn’t exert too much force and kept the door intact.
Gao Sui was already shocked silly as Fan Yuan helped him up and brought him to the room outside. He proceeded to lower the curtain and say in a low voice, “Brother Xiao, put on your clothes first, and then we can have a good talk.”
Xiao Ziyun was incredibly embarrassed, and she merely answered with a soft sound of acknowledgement.
Gao Sui was taken by Fan Yuan to his room, and during this time, he remainedpletely dazed. It was only when Fan Yuan threw a set of clothes at him and asked him to change quickly into them that he gradually regained his senses.
Gao Sui’s eyes were as wide as saucers ?— he had obviously received too much of a shock. His speech had be incoherent and confused as he stammered, “Bai- Bai- Brother Bai, Brother Zi, he is..........”
Fan Yuan calmly stated, “A woman.”
Gao Sui’s body immediately shook, and he had to sit down and pour himself a cup of tea. However, due to the fact that his hands were shaking too much, all of the tea spilled outside the cup.
Fan Yuan waspletely defeated by the obtuseness of the male lead. Those two people were joined at the hip all day long, always being so close and lovey dovey. He was bound to have realised something, but this fool didn’t realise anything even though they kept happily going ‘Brother~’ here and ‘Little Brother~’ there for the entire day. The main point was that under these conditions, they developed deep feelings for one another! Was this not a BL story disguised as a BG?
Fan Yuan sat down opposite him and questioned with a stern face, “What’s the matter with you? Last night, I remember clearly that I saw you enter Room 1, how did you wake up in Brother Xiao’s Room 3? ”
“I really don’t know,” Gao Sui exined hurriedly. “I just remember drinking with you in the restaurant, I don’t know what happened after. When I woke up, I saw Little Brother Zi sleeping next to me, not- not wearing..........”
Fan Yuan knew that this guy had probably gone out at night to relieve himself. He must have been so drunk that he walked into the wrong room by ident, and since Xiao Ziyun was also drunk, the two got entangled with one another.
It seemed that Gao Sui had also thought of this possibility as Fan Yuan watched his face turn white. Gao Sui said, “What if I really was an inhumane beastst night...?”
Fan Yuan witnessed his palpable fear as his face drained of all colour. He also felt quite helpless, the people of the past regarded chastity as a paradigm that was more important than life. So when it came to Gao Sui who regarded Xiao Ziyun as a treasure, how could he bear to destroy her innocence? He was afraid to say that the man would be willing to die to pay for his transgressions.
A headache came on as he asked, “Can’t you feel it? Whether you’ve done that?”
“What feeling?” Gao Sui was perplexed.
Fan Yuan was lost for words. You’re a normal 20-year-old man! You still need to ask me how it’s supposed to feel? His thoughts then shifted as he pondered about how the male lead made a name for himself when he was young. His father was the leader of the Wulin alliance, so naturally, his family’s upbringing was extremely strict. Moreover, as he entered the appropriate age for marriage, his family was horribly destroyed. In these following two years, he was solely focused on collecting evidence to bring justice to his family, while also making headway in his skilled martial arts. With all these factorsbined together, how would he have the energy and time to seek for romance or something more.
With such a pure big boy, he was afraid to admit that he probably didn’t know how to do it.......... Fan Yuan truly felt that he uncovered the truth of the matter, so he patted Gao Sui on the shoulder, “Brother Gao, in my opinion, nothing happened between the two of you. At most, you two slept on the same bed.”
Gao Sui frowned, “Even so, I have sullied.........her innocence. I deserve to die..........”
Fan Yuan interrupted, “Other than death, is there no other way?”
Gao Sui immediately understood what he meant. “Of course, I’ve thought about it. I even dream about it. But Little Brother Zi...she has always took me as her elder brother, now that I’ve done such a shameless act, she must hate me. I don’t even have a good appearance, how can I ask her topromise and let me be responsible for her. Not only that, I also have important unfinished business, it’s simply too foolish to involve myself in any romantic rtionships..........”
As Fan Yuan watched Gao Sui be even more cowardly and indecisive, he hated iron for not bing steel. This guy wasn’t following the plot at all! Not only did he say f*ck you to an entire part of the plot, now he still dared to back out! Fan Yuan quickly interjected in a cold voice, “How do you know what Brother Xiao thinks about this? We people in the Jianghu do everything in a casual way, but we look back on our actions with a clear conscience. Brother Gao is afraid of being rejected by Brother Xiao, and would rather apologize through your death. But if Brother Gao dies, what will happen to the unfinished business you speak of? It’s cowardly to escape from reality like this!”
With Fan Yuan’s words, Gao Sui’s face turned red and his ears burned hot. A moment after digesting his words, Gao Sui stood up abruptly. “Brother Bai’s words are right. It was Elder Brother who was too dull. A proper man stands tall and fears nothing. I’m going to confess my feelings to Brother Zi! If she is willing, I will devote my life to her! If she isn’t, I will ept any punishment. I have noints even if she wishes to kill or cut me into pieces!”
Fan Yuan was going to encourage him to stop being so pessimistic, but at that moment, he heard a vague sound of the door being pushed open. The next second, Xiao Ziyun appeared at the door with teary eyes as she whispered, “You don’t have to look for me. I heard everything.”
Gao Sui was utterly frightened while Fan yuan pretended to be the same. He was more than clear when Xiao Ziyun was approaching, so he deliberately set up Gao Sui to say words that would show his true feelings. The female lead’s affection for the male lead had long reached 80%, being at the level of incredible affection and admiration for a lover. Thus, it was harmless to give them a little push.
When the female lead came in, she shut the door and stopped half a meter before Gao Sui. Her head was lowered, hiding her expression and making her mood indiscernable.
Gao Sui’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He wanted to ask her, since she heard it, whether she was willing to be with him.
Suddenly, Xiao Ziyun looked up, gave a frown and let out a p on Gao Sui’s face. The p wasn’t strong, but not only was Gao Sui dizzy from the blow, his heart was also broken into a million pieces! Fan Yuan was too shocked to speak. This situation was not right!
It was then that the female lead calmly stated, “This is your punishment for climbing into my bedst night.”
The man nodded and answered in a muffled voice, “This punishment is too light.”
The female lead snorted and replied softly, “Naturally, more wille. This p was just to let me vent my anger, I still have more for you in the future.”
The man smiled bitterly, “I canpensate you with my life. You can do whatever you want to let out your anger.”
The female lead got even more annoyed when he said this. With her tender little fists, she pounded at his body and yelled in a hateful voice, “You want to give up your life just like that, is your life so worthless?! I don’t want your life. I want you to live a long life!”
The male lead didn’t know how to respond, so he let her beat it out. The only thing he worried about was whether his rough skin and thick flesh had hurt her hands.
Fan Yuan silently turned around, no longer wanting to look at such a ferocious scene, but that was when he suddenly heard the male lead groan. He thought the female lead had taken out some kind of weapon and he hastily turned around to stop it, lest a human life would be lost. But——it turned out that the female lead ran herself into the male lead’s arms and made him stagger back a few steps.
“Asshole, Gao Sui’an, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you like me! I- I actually like you too, you made me worry for nothing for such a long time..........”
The female lead was still thereining, while Fan Yuan quietly retreated from the room.
＃What a big pot of dog blood!＃
＃The painting style has changed too fast. I can’t respond!＃
＃Women are so scary. Thank god I have a husband, pei, I mean wife!＃
Once upon a time, it was said you could never tell whether a woman was being petty or losing their temper, as they could switch between the two at will with no pressure at all. Seeing it for himself made it a hundred times more true than hearing it from others.
Nheless, these two fools were happy atst, and it was time for him to leave.
As Fan Yuan exited the inn in silence, the city outside was as busy and bustling as before. That day outside Yuzhou City, the three of them met and becamepanions. It turned out that only half a year had passed, yet their feelings had be much deeper than people who had been best friends for several years.
He nced back at Yan Rui who had unknowingly appeared by his side, and asked softly, “They will keep being happy like this, right?”
Yan Rui held his hand and gave him a light kiss at his fingertips. “Yes, I guarantee it.”
It was only then that Fan Yuan started smiling, and the two of them intertwined all their ten fingers together as they disappeared gradually amidst the crowd.
