YM778.TV Chapter 249
“Pervert!” Bai Chen angrily snapped at the man after hearing the man’s offer.
Would Wu Jinhai casually say that Bai Chen could eat him if he said he wanted to eat fish? Wu Jinhai probably wanted Bai Chen to lick his body to the deepest part, right?
Bai Chen had goosebumps all over his body even when he only imagined it, and that was why he couldn’t help but glare at the man sitting across from him.
“Why do you call me a pervert?” Frowning, Wu Jinhai asked the brown-haired man. “I asked if you want to eat fish or not, and if you want to eat fish, then I will return to the river to catch fish for you. Why are you suddenly calling me a pervert?”
Wu Jinhai even blinked his brown eyes while questioning the Werewolf Prince, and it seemed that the man was being wronged right now when Bai Chen suddenly looked down on him with the word “pervert” he just said.
At this point, Bai Chen looked confused because the man sitting in front of him seemed honest while showing his clueless expression, and it left him confused. “I’m actually curious about you, Wu Jinhai,” said the man in white. “Which one was the real you? Was it when you covered your face with a golden mask or when you pretended to be a male prostitute named Zhu Ge?”
That was indeed one thing Bai Chen wanted to know, but instead of answering his question, Wu Jinhai suddenly inched closer to him before placing his lips right next to his. “You guess it, Bai Chen. Which do you think the real me is?” The red-robed man asked.
Hearing that question, Bai Chen sneered before he used his hand to push Wu Jinhai’s shoulder for the man to keep some distance between them. “It’s clear to my eyes! The real you are the perverted Zhu Ge even if you wear a golden mask to cover up your true personality!”
.....
Bai Chen did see Zhu Ge in front of him even though the man had revealed his true identity as Prince Wu Jinhai. How that man dared to openly tease him was like proof that Wu Jinhai was indeed a pervert who was hiding behind his ugly mask, and that was why Bai Chen seemed irritated by the man’s attitude.
Meanwhile, Wu Jinhai only chuckled before saying, “I already told you that I want to become the Crown Prince of Wu Li so that I won’t be overthrown by the people who killed my mother and also deliberately tried to steal everything from me, right? That’s why I had to appear as a perfect person in front of everyone, and that’s why I kept my true self hidden for so many years.”
That was the confirmation that Bai Chen had received from Wu Jinhai, and that was how he had predicted everything. “You say you have been trying to be a perfect person in front of everyone for so many years? How you ignore people when they need your help doesn’t show that you pretend to be a perfect person who deserves the position of Crown Prince in Wu Li, Wu Jinhai.”
It was a sarcastic response from Bai Chen, and he said that because he still remembered how Wu Jinhai didn’t even want to help the disciples who were in danger when they were in the Forbidden Forest, and the man also didn’t want to lend a hand when Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui encountered difficulties when they fought the high-level beast.
Those two things were enough for Bai Chen to prove that Wu Jinhai looked like he hadn’t pretended to be a perfect person all along, and that was why he saw Wu Jinhai’s words as nonsense.
“That’s right. I am indeed far from perfect,” Wu Jinhai replied, and this time, he chose to look at the table full of food rather than look at the other man sitting not far from him. “You can say that I became myself when I was still Zhu Ge. How Zhu Ge can be so carefree every day without needing to think about much is something I envy. I wouldn’t be able to act like that while I was still fighting for the position as the Crown Prince, and that’s why I could only hide behind Zhu Ge’s facade. The real me was when I could become Zhu Ge, and since I was always with you when I pretended to be Zhu Ge, then I can confidently say that I always showed my true self to you, Bai Chen.”
“...” Bai Chen’s breath caught, and he seemed to be speechless after getting a long reply from Wu Jinhai.
The black-haired man did give him a long answer, but Bai Chen somehow focused his attention on the last sentence the man spoke. How that man confidently said that he always showed his true self when he was with him was enough to shock him in the chest, and Bai Chen could feel how his heart trembled slightly at those words.
Maybe Wu Jinhai didn’t say it directly, but Bai Chen could somehow see that the man in red also wanted to say that the feelings the man had shown him all this time were also real, and Bai Chen could think of that because Wu Jinhai suddenly looked at him intently as he spoke his last sentence, and the amount of love in the man’s gaze was too great that Bai Chen even needed to avert his eyes.
“I-I’m not hungry anymore, so maybe you can start explaining about Wu Jiang,” Bai Chen replied nervously as his blue eyes caught a glimpse of Wu Jiang who was still floating next to him.
Hearing that nervous statement, Wu Jinhai raised his eyebrows in amusement before saying, “You’re not hungry anymore? Are my sweet words enough to make you feel full, Bai Chen?”
