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

Chapter 43: Shao Cheng Weakness And Ren Yuan Consideration and Thoughtfulness.

After taking a thirty minutes break, Shao Cheng's eyes open up and exactly meeting the tangle expression on Ren Yuan's face which he directly disregarded as he left the older man warm arms which have instantly made him miss it already something that has caused a frown to appear on his face from that sudden thought, after all, Shao Cheng shouldn't be the one getting used to the man constant presence.

In Shao Cheng's mind, it should be Ren Yuan that needed to get adapted to his presence and actions so that when something bad happens to Ren Yuan, he will be the first person that will come from his mind, which Shao Cheng seemed to be not doing quite well right now.

Since he felt so extremely so ease and comfortable with Ren Yuan presence alone, feeling like nothing harmful and bad will happen to him just by staying by the man's side.

Ah, it might be because he was the one making people feel extremely easy and safe all the time that now that he suddenly feels greedy after finding a person that he can completely believe in while his trust in him wouldn't turn futile.

"Whitey are we going now?"

Hearing Xing Ning finally speaking, Shao Cheng just glanced at him before nodding his head as he calculates the actions that they will be taking starting today, before telling them to follow him once again.

While Xing Ning has just given a glance at the still frozen Ren Yuan causing a sigh to be let out from his mouth before nudging the other person with his feet to wake him up.

"Come on."

With that, Ren Yuan finally managed to snap out from his thoughts which he immediately stood up and quickly running to reach the younger man's side after seeing Whitey was already running a bit far from him.

Right now, Ren Yuan is only worried over protecting the young man safe from any danger and attack that might appear so suddenly while the weird feeling and thought on his mind has already long forgotten.

Soon, it has been two days of running and hiding from their persistent chaser, Shao Cheng and the others have already left the Snow Mountain during the first day.

During the time of their journey, Shao Cheng always managed to find fruit trees for them to eat while the snows can be used to sedate them from thirst, while right now they have already left the freezing cold Snow Mountain where there are only a bit thinner snows around them.

And when they are about to walk over the river that isn't completely frozen as they use the rocks all over the place to step on it in order to get to the other side, Shao Cheng couldn't help but freeze over and standstill, while his gazes has been at the rather deep river before him. 

Suddenly, his hands tremble a bit while cold sweat appears on his foreheads that soon flow down from his cheeks and into his jaw despite how freezingly cold the outside is.

"What is wrong?"

Xing Ning couldn't help but blink his eyes before asking in a wondering voice about why Whitey has suddenly stopped moving.

"Whitey?"

Ren Yuan that has taken one step already at the rock in the slightly frozen river has stopped and turned around to glance at the young man when he notices that he wasn't running by his side any longer.

"Nothing, let's go."

Shao Cheng has just replied back in a calm steady tone that would have worked if it wasn't for his currently pale face and cold sweats that couldn't fool Ren Yuan one bit which is finally figuring out that there is something wrong with the young man before him.

Tightly clutching his trembling hands, Shao Cheng took a step forward causing his body to abruptly tense up before completely ignoring his reaction after a split-second as he continues to get closer at the slightly frozen river, after all, he knew what is currently wrong with himself.

In the previous life, after experiencing the drowning incident, the fear of a large amount of water has never completely disappeared, Shao Cheng has just learned to manage it by constantly pushing himself on how to learn to deal his fear over it in order to be able to move and not become paralyze from fear.

Although in this new life, it was just his body instinctual reaction from the relapse once more.

However, before he can take another step forward, a figure has suddenly appeared before him which Shao Cheng suddenly finding himself being carried over by a warm arm causing him to raise his head over to see Ren Yuan is currently staring down at him with an understanding look with a bit of a helpless and irritated expression at the same time.

"Whitey, really, didn't I told you not to push yourself already? Stop being stubborn and just speak up if you needed help alright?"

With that Ren Yuan has run over the river with the young man on his arms, which he instantly gently pushed Whitey face toward his chest as he grimly stared at the river before him at the same time because he finally remembers the first time he met Whitey, which was the image of the young man drowning to death.

Of course, even though Whitey appeared to be strong, reliable and firm, in the end, Whitey was only a few years younger and he wasn't an all-powerful person.

This instant, Ren Yuan will ingrain this situation of Whitey on his mind since he will need to watch over anything related to his phobia of water so that Ren Yuan can take care of the young man's fear and weaknesses, especially when an evil people will definitely use it against the young man later on.

The entire time, Shao Cheng just stayed quiet, letting himself be carried with by Ren Yuan and feeling about how nice it was to experience being taken care of and being worried once in a while.

Shao Cheng couldn't help but wonders about when was the last time that he has recieve a sincere consideration and thoughtfulness from other people?

It was really long time, and from what he remembers it has always been Ren Yuan who has done it, which was only after he died, as, for the rest of his second life, the original family of Shao Cheng has also shown kindness and gentleness toward him which in the end, was something that he turns his back on it.

Suddenly, Shao Cheng couldn't help but want to meet the biological family of his current body once again, even though the overwhelming guilt, remorse, shame, and regret will eat him inside but it was something that he completely deserves to experience.

This time he will make sure that the tragedy will not happen once more.

One could say it will be Shao Cheng penance and compensation from what he owed them from the previous life.

Seemingly taking forever, Shao Cheng was once lower down in the ground after finally crossing the frozen river which has taken him out from the sudden dark thought of his and after nodding his head to Ren Yuan for what he has done, with a quick smile, he once more run ahead.

Soon, a wooden bridge with a long length has appeared before everyone eyes, causing Shao Cheng to deeply gaze at it for a bit as the plan on his mind can finally be used before swiftly running toward it in order to get to the other side of the cliff which the two-person behind him has followed.

The entire time, Shao Cheng has been calculating and scheming about what to do so that he can start to take action.

After all, the three of them can't run away forever, although he would have love to find a town or a village to hide with, but based from what Shao Cheng can see, their stamina and endurance will not be able to handle the long run, and once their enemy has found them, it was far too late to fight back.

After all, they are people who just gotten healed from whatever injuries they suffered while they have a group of healthy elites that is determined to go after them.

Using his special ability to sense the surrounding once more, Shao Cheng has found another hidden place to hide, which was another cave once more, and this time, it was not occupied by any animals.

"Are we going to stay here for a while or only for today Whitey?"

Ren Yuan who saw the place turned to look at the young man, which Shao Cheng has nodded his head over before telling them that he will go get some food, while the rest of them try to start a fire.

And before Ren Yuan can speak about wanting to go look for it instead of him, Shao Cheng has already walked away, his figure disappearing fast.

"Don't worry, he knows what he was doing. Come on, lets slightly clean this place up and get some woods to start some fire."

Xing Ning has just obediently does what he was asked to do, while Ren Yuan who was shooting a worried look at where the young man has disappeared just let out a sigh.

After a few minutes over, Shao Cheng has arrived fast, carrying a bunch of fruits on his hands, along with some dead hare which has cause the worried Ren Yuan the entire time to inwardly feel relief to find the young man has come back safe and sound.

As they finish the food that Shao Cheng has prepared with more enthusiasm, he silently watched as Ren Yuan has finally fallen asleep, making him stand up while finishing the fruit completely with one more bite, causing the awake Xing Ning to throw him a questioning look.

"Protect him."

Xing Ning was confused at first, before staring at him with wide eyes before quickly glancing at the completely unconscious Ren Yuan, which making him recognize that his friend was probably has been given some knock out medicine by the young man.

"I'll try to be back in the morning if not, just go ahead and take him away from here alright?"

"Whitey you"

Shao Cheng who saw the complicated expression on Xing Ning face has raised his eyebrow while his lip shown a smile that doesn't contain a single warmth on it but has just given a great chill to Xing Ning that has been staring the entire time.

Quickly turning around after giving one last glance at the completely out of it Ren Yuan, Shao Cheng has left with determined back along with a voice that contains overwhelming confidence.

"I won't die."
