Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

163 THE METAL PIPE IS BENT

Zhu Ge planned to whisper to himself, but because he was standing quite close to Bai Chen, the Werewolf Prince managed to catch his words.

Bai Chen did close his eyes right after he lay down on the bed, but then he opened his blue eyes again after hearing that whisper. Zhu Ge even looked surprised when he saw the Prince suddenly open his eyes again.

“What did you just say?” Bai Chen immediately asked a question while bringing his body to sit on the bed.

The drowsiness and tiredness disappeared as soon as he heard a strange whisper coming from the man in the red robe. He heard clearly how Zhu Ge said the word ‘Wu Jiang,’ and he wouldn’t buy it if the man insisted that he misunderstood the word.

A pair of brown eyes stared intently at a pair of blue eyes, and the owner sighed before pointing his finger at a certain sword lying on the table. “I’m talking about the sword,” he replied calmly after he managed to calm himself down. “You got the sword from Wu Jinhai, right? It’s a good idea to keep the sword near you because it will be able to protect you.”

Once again, Zhu Ge voluntarily mentioned Wu Jinhai, and Bai Chen turned his gaze towards the sword on the table. He had indeed brought the sword to his pavilion before he bathed a few hours ago. He knew that the sword was precious, so he didn’t even let Ma Qiao do the work of bringing the sword to his pavilion.

Moreover, the sword only recognized him as its master, so it would be difficult if he asked his servant to take it to his pavilion.

“You also know about that sword?” Bai Chen asked again as he cast his eyes to look at the taller man one more time.

Instead of immediately answering Bai Chen’s question, Zhu Ge sat down on the chair next to the table where the sword lay peacefully, and his brown eyes stared deeply at him.

.....

“Mhm,” replied the man in the red robe. “Wu Jinhai introduced this sword to me, and he also told me that the sword’s name is Wu Jiang.”

Bai Chen frowned upon hearing Zhu Ge’s statement. He remembered when Wu Jinhai told him that the name of the sword was a secret, but even Zhu Ge knew about the name, so Bai Chen began to doubt that it was indeed a secret.

Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that the relationship between the two men was closer than he thought, and he planned to dig up more information about the sword from Zhu Ge.

“Do you also know about the white crystal on the pommel of the sword?” Without mentioning that the white crystal was a Power Crystal belonging to the white werewolf, Bai Chen carefully questioned the crow-haired man.

“White crystal?” Zhu Ge parroted while glancing at the white crystal on the sword pommel. “Wu Jinhai just told me that the crystal is very precious to him, and it has been with him for many years.”

Zhu Ge said that the crystal was very precious to Wu Jinhai, but the eldest Prince of Wu Li still gave the sword to Bai Chen, and Bai Chen couldn’t understand it at all. Even Ma Qiao had told him that the werewolf’s Power Crystal was also a precious thing to humans, but Wu Jinhai still gave the sword and crystal to him.

“You said that the crystal was precious to Wu Jinhai, so why did Wu Jinhai give the sword to me?” Bai Chen asked again, but his blue eyes remained fixed on the white crystal as he said the question.

For some reason, he felt a strange connection with the white crystal, and he also felt something when he was with Wu Jinhai as well.

It was quite a complicated matter for Bai Chen. He felt comfortable when he was with Zhu Ge and Wu Jinhai, and the feeling in his heart was strange, but he still couldn’t describe the feeling.

Did he like them both? Like? It was the same feeling he should have for a girl?

Bai Chen was dumbfounded when the realization just came to him, and he even felt bad that he only said that he liked Zhu Ge without thinking that he also felt the same way towards Wu Jinhai.

The realization came to him too late, and he couldn’t even tell Zhu Ge the truth because he knew that the man was quite serious with him, and the man had already shown his distaste if he kept thinking about Wu Jinhai.

Bai Chen was in trouble, but then his body jolted when something warm pressed against his forehead. Taking his eyes off the sword, he could see how Zhu Ge was pressing his lips against his forehead.

He couldn’t even move his body when he realized that Zhu Ge was kissing his forehead. This wasn’t the first time the man had dared to do such a thing to him, but Bai Chen thought it felt even stranger now that they were in a relationship.

Yes, no matter how hard Bai Chen tried to deny it, he was currently in a relationship with Zhu Ge, and he also had romantic feelings for Zhu Ge.

Yes, Bai Chen had to admit that he wasn’t as straight as a metal pipe anymore.

“I said I didn’t like seeing you frown, didn’t I?” Zhu Ge asked a question as he pulled himself away from the white-robed man. “Every time I see you frown, I’ll kiss your forehead, so you better think carefully before starting to frown.”

It was a ridiculous statement that came from the red-robed man. How should Bai Chen think carefully before he frowned? He usually frowned when he was deep in thought, so he wouldn’t notice it when he started frowning.

Seeing that Zhu Ge could also be stupid, Bai Chen couldn’t even help but smile as he stared at the black-haired man. Even Zhu Ge was dumbfounded when he saw the genuine smile on Bai Chen’s face, but he didn’t dare say anything for fear that his words would erase that beautiful smile.

“Zhu Ge...” The Prince spoke the name in his soft voice, and he only realized that it had a very good taste on his tongue when he said the name.

Even Zhu Ge could only remain frozen in place after hearing how softly the Prince called his name. This wasn’t the first time the Prince had called him by his name, but this time it sounded different because the Prince seemed to cherish the moment when the name left his lips.

“Hmm?” Zhu Ge finally answered the call. “Do you need anything from me?”

Actually, Bai Chen just wanted to call out to Zhu Ge without having a purpose behind his actions, but then his eyes once again caught a glimpse of the sword on the table.

He knew that the sword held so many secrets, and he probably wouldn’t be able to live in peace if he couldn’t figure out the secret.

And only one person could answer all the questions that were in his head, and that was why he focused his blue eyes on Zhu Ge again as he said, “Can you take me to meet Wu Jinhai, Zhu Ge?”
