The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 293: "Who Taught You Those Sweet Words?"

"Come on, Brother Yuan got your back. Don't worry about this guy retaliating back! Little Cheng also has a powerful and influential family. Let's see if this person can handle both the Ren and Shao families coming together at him."

Shao Cheng remained silent, his sapphire eyes taking a look at the familiar and annoying grin on Ren Yuan's exquisite face while the pair of peach blossom grey eyes were brimming with utter excitement.

Honestly, what should I do with you?

After a few seconds, Shao Cheng finally moved, raising his left leg and ruthlessly kicking the stunned young man near his feet, watching how the young man's body flew in a perfect arc before violently landing on the ground which is in front of a surprised Ren Yuan.

And when there wasn't even a single sound of pain coming from the pitiful young man, everyone could already tell that the young man had become unconscious with that one kick.

"...Damn, this person is also a ruthless one"

Among the group of noble Young Masters and Young Ladies silently watching on the sidelines, one person couldn't help but softly murmur after witnessing how the slender young man dressed in beautiful snow-white robes had honestly followed the famous rascal's words.

"Eh? Little Cheng, why did you knock him out so fast? You should have taken your time beating him since he was talking bad behind your back."

Ren Yuan shot a disappointed look at the silent young man who had started to walk in his direction, which suddenly made him nervous. So, in order to relax, he couldn't help but kick the already unconscious person again.

"Brother Yuan, it's a waste of our time. Let's spend our time wisely."

Ignoring the people around them, Shao Cheng reached over to gently grab the crimson-wide sleeves of Ren Yuan before tilting his head to the right side and focusing his complete attention on the man standing before him.

"They aren't as important as my Brother Yuan. I will rather give all my time and attention to my special friend."

"...!!!"

"These days, I had been waiting for Brother Yuan to visit me, but you didn't come at all."

"...!!!" 

The uncomfortable feeling in Ren Yuan's heart for the past few days was instantly swept away by the simple words of the young man. And even though they were spoken in a calm and cold voice, he couldn't stop the bubbling happiness in his heart.

Well, Whitey sure has a conscience.

"Hey, how come Little Cheng's mouth has become so sweet? Honestly tell Brother Yuan the truth, did someone teach you while I was busy and couldn't visit you?"

"Cousin Xixi said I should treat my special friend as the most important person in my life, only second to my family."

For once, Shao Cheng found how useful his crazy cousin was in this kind of situation. He didn't bat an eyelid from the lies he was speaking in a matter-of-fact voice while completely showing an ignorant and easy to cheat appearance in front of everyone.

"Brother Yuan, everyone else is unimportant."

"I see. I'm glad Little Cheng knows how important I am. After all, who else would protect you like this? Who would beat the people who dared to talk behind your back? Don't worry. Brother Yuan will make sure to punish anyone that will try to harm you."

Shao Cheng remained silent while acting oblivious when Ren Yuan swiftly grabbed his hand holding the crimson-wide sleeves and began to pull him toward one of the street stalls selling those delicious soft buns.

"Hey, Old Lady, give me two pork buns! By the way, please remember this person, alright? Come running to my favorite place if someone dares to bully my Little Cheng; I promise to buy all your food for an entire day and also giving you a reward!"

"Well, if it's Young Master Yuan's request, I'll do it without the rewards. You have always taken care of us."

Shao Cheng remained silent as the old lady selling the soft buns nodded her head happily while chatting with Ren Yuan without showing any fear or dread. The two of them appeared to have known each other for a long time by the familiarity with which they talked.

Although Ren Yuan was famous for his crazy antics in the entire Chang Capital, it didn't change the fact that most common people liked him, while it was the youngsters in the noble families whom Ren Yuan made an enemy with.

The situation before Shao Cheng was one of the countless pieces of evidence of how Ren Yuan could also charm people despite his unreasonable and untrustable attitude and the utter chaos he usually shows to everyone.

If Ren Yuan didn't have any unique charm or excellent abilities, there was no way that he would have been able to have countless people on his side when rebelling against the Royal Family in the previous life.

Just as the old saying goes, winning the common people's heart is basically already having the entire Empire in your hands. 

"Here you go, Young Master Cheng. Although the soft buns are made by this humble old lady, I promise you that it is delicious. After all, Young Master Yuan has grown up eating this old lady's soft buns!"

When the old lady offered the soft pork bun wrapped in a small lotus leaf for him to hold while having a nervous smile on her face, Shao Cheng didn't hesitate to reach over and take the steaming pork bun from her hands.

And in Ren Yuan's curious grey pupils and the old lady's hopeful eyes, Shao Cheng didn't hesitate to take a bite on the soft pork bun in his hands, and after a quick chew, the corners of his lips arc in a small smile.

"It's delicious."

"...! Hahaha, I'm glad Young Master Cheng likes this old lady's food! Please, feel free to come anytime you want."

As soon as the old lady showed a bright expression on her face, the other people selling food in the street happily called out after understanding that the slender young man dressed in beautiful snow-white robes didn't mind their commoner origin.

"Little Cheng, come with me! It is my turn to take you around! Although eating in a restaurant is also good, I will show you how the street foods sold by these people also taste delicious!"

While Shao Cheng held the bitten pork soft bun with his right hand, his sapphire eyes couldn't help but flicker toward Ren Yuan who was happily pulling him to another food stall.

After a swift thought in mind, Shao Cheng chose to remain quiet about the warm hand wrapped around his left hand.

And just like the old lady's stall, Ren Yuan bought the foods or snacks from the people selling in their food stall before once again mentioning to them about looking after his special friend if they ever saw him getting bullied while he wasn't around.

Soon, Shao Cheng was carrying a small box filled with countless snacks and foods put inside after being unable to hold everything with his two hands and silently following behind a grinning Ren Yuan as they walked in the street.

And it seemed Shao Cheng's luck was good today too since there wasn't any trouble appearing along the way, in which even Ren Yuan teasingly mentioned how his 'trouble attracting magnetic physique' wasn't acting up.

Soon, the two of them stopped in one of the countless teahouses around in the Chang Capital, with the foods and snacks Ren Yuan bought all put down over the table, almost leaving no spots for the steaming teacups to be placed down.

"Little Cheng, how was it? Did you have fun with your Brother Yuan's usual way of having fun in the Chang Capital?"

Shao Cheng silently stared at the confident and pleased Ren Yuan while gently swaying the teacup on his right hand and perfectly controlling his movement and strength to prevent the hot tea from getting spilled. 

Before he turned his attention towards the countless snacks and dishes placed on the table.

I wonder...if I was the one who made you a foodie after cooking all those delicious foods before?

In the previous life, Shao Cheng definitely knows that Ren Yuan wasn't excited about foods from the way he is displaying before him.

"Well, I had fun."

Shao Cheng picked up a tanghulu made with hawthorn fruit and offered it toward Ren Yuan, who instantly leaned over to take one of the pieces on top of the stick and made a crunchy sound as he chewed with a smile on his face.

"Hmm Little Cheng has been obedient so far So tell Brother Yuan what do you want?"

"My family and I will visit the famous temple tomorrow. Brother Yuan, come with me alright?"

"..."

I was just joking but you really want something, huh?

So what were those sweet words you had spoken before? Are all of them mere lies? I knew that there must be something wrong when you suddenly become obedient.

Ren Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips while staring at the silent Little Cheng, who didn't seem to understand how wrong his answer was. 

"Well, let me think about my schedule tomorrow"

Hmph! Don't think a mere hour of being obedient will easily sway me! I need you to behave obedient and docile for a full day before I say yes!
