“Qiao Yingze! Qiao Yingze, please wake up! Do you need medicine? Please say something!”
When Gong Zhuoliang saw Qiao Yingze’s face scrunching in pain and his body writhing in discomfort, he immediately encircled him into his embrace and gently caressed his chest to ease his discomfort.
“…”
Qiao Yingze had only been feeling agitated and ashamed for a short moment before it was gone. On top of that, whenever his emotions became intense, it would usually cause him to be dizzy.
When he finally gained consciousness, he could still feel his whole body weak and numb, that even exerting a little bit of strength was already such hard work for him. So he could only lean weakly to Gong Zhuoliang’s bosom while he gasped for some air. However, their situation had already become awkward, and right now, Qiao Yingze found it hard for him to face the other.
Qiao Yingze’s mind became chaotic, to the point that he is now struggling to think of a way to deal with the situation in front of him. But despite the annoyance in his heart, his kind nature still prevented him from getting angry. It’s just that he’s afraid to confront the unknown thoughts inside Gong Zhuoliang’s mind.
Gong Zhuoliang was relieved when he noticed that the other’s breathing had finally slowed down and became steady again. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his leg that caused him to frown with displease, but he didn’t bother to care about it and only casually rubbed on it. He inquired the other’s well-being once again as if he was never hurt as well.
“Are you really fine? Please say something so I will know, ah!”
“…”
Qiao Yingze tilted his head to the side and took a glance at Gong Zhuoliang’s leg. But then he only pursed his lips and looked away from it immediately, not uttering any word or response. Gong Zhuoliang didn’t know what he was thinking at all.
“If you’re angry, please don’t vent it to me. This is not my fault, because I’m also a victim here as well. As the son of a concubine, I’ve been treated like a slave since childhood. When they decided to marry me off, I had to do so by being a girl….wu…. ”
When Gong Zhuoliang saw that Qiao Yingze wasn’t sulking and losing his temper at all, he thought in his mind that this kid really had a good temper, and took advantage of it by starting to cry. In order to make it more realistic, he secretly pinched the side of his thigh, which naturally caused pain to him, so his eyes naturally formed tears.
“Aaah..! D-Don’t cry!”
Qiao Yingze was frightened by Gong Zhuoliang’s sudden cry and almost jumped off the bed, not knowing what to do.
He knew in his heart that the Gong Family must be the ones who deceived their marriage and the little boy in front of him was only the victim of their scheme, so he didn’t mean to hate on him. Before, he only felt like he lost his face, which gave him the instinct to immediately run away from this place in order to avoid him.
But now that Gong Zhuoliang wept in front of him, looking so miserable; Qiao Yingze’s heart softened for him. Besides, the kid had already given him a good impression to begin with, so right now, he only feels a little pity for him.
“They only wanted to cause you harm. I couldn’t tell you the truth before because I didn’t want to hurt you. Right now, I have no control over your decisions, so you can do what you want. If you hate me, it won’t matter anymore, my life is already ruined to begin with so I could just accept my fate. But I’ll still compensate you so don’t worry… wuwu…”
Qiao Yingze’s manner softened even more, so Gong Zhuoliang grabbed the chance to pretend to be dramatic, and started snuggling into the other’s arms, wailing with grievances. But in the dark, there was a smug smirk on his feminine face, making his overall bearing even more devilish.
Of course, even if Gong Zhuoliang would never admit it himself, he still thought that he’s so wise! Very wise!
“No, you’re wrong! I will never blame you! Please don’t cry, I will not hurt you!”
As Qiao Yingze lightly embraced Gong Zhuoliang’s petite body, he thought in his mindー He and this child had already worshiped together, drank the wine together, and are now married. His own hair had already been conjoined with this child, who is now his legal wife right the moment he stepped out of the bridal palanquin. How could he have the heart to abandon him?

Please don’t be careless when it comes the day you retaliate on the Gong Family. As for me, the passer-by, I’m easier to deal with. Just press on the classification ‘Died young’ and then make it private!***

“Of course, ah!”
Gong Zhuoliang said those words justly, and confidently. If he hadn’t moved quickly, Qiao Yingze would fall so hard and he would’ve already had injuries by now! Just look at how kind he is!
Qiao Yingze was silent for a while, then suddenly let out a sigh, as if he had finally resigned himself to this situation. Then he faced Gong Zhuoliang again, and smiled at him. His expression was so soft and gentle before he uttered pledges as he fondled Gong Zhuoliang’s face.
“This is simply Heaven’s will….. Such being the case, I shall utter this sentence once again. My dear wife, if you have me in your heart, I will never let you down in this life”
He only wanted someone to accompany him for the rest of his life. Since his father had already arranged such person for him, then he should just let it be.
“…Ha?”
Gong Zhuoliang was dumbfounded when he heard what the other said that when his mouth moved, a high-pitched hesitant vibrato came out.
He couldn’t just keep up with the train of thoughts the man had in front of him. Why is he still calling him wife, ah?
Qiao Yingze had already made a resolute decision in his heart. As he faced Gong Zhuoliang, he no longer felt ashamed as before, but rather, he became relaxed.
“Since you and I had already worshiped the Heaven and Earth, then it could only mean that we’re fated together in this life. Now that we’ve already arrived to this point of no turning back, let’s just become a good husband and wife”
“But for what reason?? Ah no, what I mean is…. you’re an elegant, and a handsome Young Master. You could request for a high position whenever you want. So how could you just casually humble yourself to a guy like me? How will you have an heir for your family in the future?”
Gong Zhuoliang found it hard for him to understand the way Qiao Yingze’s brain worked. Even if the other clearly knows that he would be rebuffed by everyone, why did he have to follow along with this marriage?
The wood had already been made into a boat, but so what? You can just completely dismantle it and then rebuild it again. Why are you so inflexible?
Qiao Yingze softly spoke in a daze as he was holding Gong Zhuoliang’s hands to his own. It did not matter for him whether the other party could understand what he was saying or not. He had been suppressing his heart for a long time, and he only wanted to let out his feelings to someone.
“To be honest, everything is already fine with me. I don’t know how long I can still live. If it weren’t for my Grandmother who urged me to get married, perhaps I would have already left this world without any worries. Right now, I’m only holding on for fear of affecting my wife. I thought that I should at least leave a child for her…… But since you’re the one who came, I don’t have to worry anymore.”
Qiao Yingze certainly couldn’t say these words to his family. As a person who’s always carrying incurable illnesses, he had been regarded as a walking calamity. So such ‘self-pity’ will only cause him to be looked down upon.
“Even if I’m gone, you can still live a proper life as a man and could freely leave this house. I understand that it has been causing you grievances these days to pretend to be a woman, but I don’t have many days left to live. I may be going to trouble you for a few years, but it’ll be much better than to cause misfortune to a woman. At least if I garnered enough good blessings, I will certainly make it up to you, and will not treat you unfairly.”
“Don’t say such things like that, ah! Why do you have to take such nonsense seriously? So what if the Gong Family is trying to harm you? Would you literally just allow them to take advantage of you?”
Gong Zhuoliang’s nose turned red after listening to Qiao Yingze’s words.
Can you not be like the Virgin Mary? That’s way too outdated, ah! You’re always fretting about some nonsensical stuff, can’t you just relax? I’m begging you to be sinister and conspire on others, even just once! Just what is the use of your talent? They’re all for nought! You should’ve already started thinking about retaliating to the Gong Family and appear on the scene, ah!
“Otherwise, what could have been done then? If one day, the truth was exposed, the first person who will suffer from this is you. I’m incapable of protecting you. If I were to venge in secret, and the Gong Family declined….as a daughter-in-law who doesn’t have her own family’s protection anymore, I’m afraid that you will only have a harder life in this household. How about we should just keep things as it is for now, and then we’ll figure out the other things for some other time….?”
Qiao Yingze caressed Gong Zhuoliang’s hair in order to placate him, and explained the pros and cons to him.
To be honest, he was not really angry with the Gong Family, but for now, the most important thing for him to do is to protect his little wife. Do not even mention about his parents’ reaction once they learned about the truth, it would’ve already been extremely disastrous if it were his paternal grandmother.
Qiao Yingze knew how powerful his Grandmother was and was deeply loved by her. So if she found out about the truth, Gong Zhuoliang would certainly be punished to death and would say that he died to save the Qiao Family’s face. After that, she will go after the Gong Family next to vent her anger.
This matter should absolutely not be exposed.
“But… is that all I can really do?”
Gong Zhuoliang was totally frightened about this fierce old lady who Qiao Yingze spoke about and his expression turned gloomy.
In that case, there really wouldn’t be any chance for them to bully me, ba! Instead, they would just jump right on into killing me! I don’t want to die so early, ah….
“Faking your death isn’t also a feasible option, because you couldn’t easily deceive people with it. If you’re really unwilling, then I’ll think of a way to set you free. And if you want to come along, then I’ll…. ”
Discerning Gong Zhuoliang’s hesitancy, Qiao Yingze was just trying to say that he had not many days to live anymore. But when he recalled what he just said, surely, the other would never take it seriously. Why bother venting your feelings to him when you’ll only annoy him instead?
“I-I’m not….! What I mean is-….Ah, Whatever! If you can still bear with our situation, then okay! Fine!”
Gong Zhuoliang admitted that he was indeed frightened by what Qiao Yingze said. Right after considering the pros and cons, he still felt that it would surely be safer if he stayed with the Qiao household for a while. In any case, he may have already lived for quite a long time but he never really experienced liking someone before. At least he never discriminated against same-sex relationships, and moreover, he was really eager to live with this little beauty for a while.
As soon as he had properly thought about the circumstances, Gong Zhuoliang finally crossed through the mountain restrictions, and decided to try living together with a man.
“What am I going to bear?”
When Qiao Yingze heard Gong Zhuoliang’s reply, his mood became better. However, he still couldn’t understand some other things he said, so he was puzzled.
“Well, j-just do that!”
Honestly, Gong Zhuoliang was still considering whether to settle with this decision or not. Looking at Qiao Yingze’s pure smile, he couldn’t help but feel a little suffocated by it.
Since you’re willing to accept this Young Master as a guy, then might as well just thoroughly accept me!
Right as soon as he finished saying this in his mind, Gong Zhuoliang instantly pushed Qiao Yingze down the bed, pulled down his trousers, then skillfully stroked his intimate place.
He forgot that there’s a lubricant beside them, and just thoroughly pushed his two fingers without a thought. But what he did not also realize, was his fingernails, causing his fingers to get stuck inside.
He then felt a sudden wetness down his fingers, but Gong Zhuoliang only slowly discovered that it was actually blood. He instantly panicked and randomly grabbed a white handkerchief that was laying on their side. He hastily crumpled the handkerchief into a ball then carefully took out his fingers so he could immediately press the handkerchief on it to stop the bleeding
“Ngh… It hurts… You…”
Before Qiao Yingze could manage a reaction, he was forced to roll over and lie down with his stomach, immediately feeling a stinging pain down his thighs. Gong Zhuoliang could just take a deep breath on the side and tightly gripped on the bed sheets. While Qiao Yingze was in a daze, he just slowly realized what had just occurred. He was totally speechless about this situation and could only glance at Gong Zhuoliang in disbelief.
“I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry! It was not me- Ah! No! I mean…. I didn’t do it on purpose! W-What should I do? Do you have any Yunnan Baiyao? Ah! The external injury medicine! Do you have it in this house?”
Gong Zhuoliang panicked and apologized, while inwardly he was very annoyed with himself. How could he cause such an accident today, ah? He did not want to hurt nor scare off Qiao Yingze! Just how could he forget the parts of a man? How stupid!
“Inside the second compartment of the cabinet over there…”
Qiao Yingze maintained a straight face as he pointed to the cabinet where the medicine was. Internally, he felt really unhappyーJust why did he suddenly acted so shameless and indecent? However, Qiao Yingze couldn’t get angry any longer when he saw the white handkerchief in Gong Zhuoliang’s hands that was stained with blood. Qiao Yingze’s face instantly flushed a bright red and pointed a finger at Gong Zhuoliang, yet unable to say a word.
Gong Zhuoliang just finished using the top-quality medicine powder and is now using a new handkerchief, when he saw Qiao Yingze’s blushing face, looking like he was about to cry. And then followed the other’s line of sight to the handkerchief, but he just couldn’t understand what was wrong.
“What’s wrong?”
“….T-That’s……”
Qiao Yingze really felt like crying without a tear. That was the handkerchief used for the bride!
…W-Why…….

Editor’s Notes
It was not Qiao Yingze that is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, it is Gong Zhuoliang! ヽ(`д´；)/ I should have known from the fake passing out that spilled food on Madam Gong. White lotus my ass!
Our poor Qiao Yingze, he is the one being bullied by an inexperienced Gong! When will there be justice?!
for the dying young thing i assume he wanted the ml to forge a death certificate for him so he could go live as a peasant? maybe he wanted money from the ml as well. idk i haven’t finished the chapter so maybe there’s more on it-
I’ll take your hypothesis in mind (灬º‿º灬)♡
