The amusement city on the Emperor Star was much bigger than the one on the Colossal Star, and the facilities were better. The mecha war simulation was so real. Shen Ruo was taken by Chu Xiao and played with a few mechas. Those were real ones, which were that kind of mecha that could be used on the battlefield.
The time in Amusement City passed quickly. Shen Ruo’s eyes were bright, as he slid down the long slide.
When passing through the tunnel, a dreamlike blue sky appeared in the virtual vision device. There were various fantastic flowers and plants, with magnificent colors, exquisiteness and beauty, on both sides of the tunnel.
After exiting the tunnel and turning two corners, Shen Ruo saw Chu Xiao who was waiting for him under the slide at a glance.
“Be careful.”
Chu Xiao’s magnetic tone was low and sweet. Seeing Shen Ruo slide down, he reminded him with a smile, and took a step forward as if to catch Shen Ruo.
However, Shen Ruo held on to the handrail of the slide and stopped steadily. After standing up, he smiled happily at Chu Xiao without noticing his movements.
Shen Ruo was very excited and wanted to share with Chu Xiao what he just saw. So, he didn’t bother to observe anything. He trusted Chu Xiao very much.
“Mom, mom, that slide is very beautiful.”
Before Shen Ruo could speak, the child who was sliding down behind him excitedly took her mother’s hand and shared her happiness and surprise with her.
“Really? Is it so beautiful?”
The mother picked up the child and walked towards the place to eat. Their voices gradually faded away.
After hearing their conversation, Shen Ruo suddenly had an illusion that he also wanted to tell Chu Xiao about those, but if he did, he would be the same as that child looking for his mother.
It’s too weird.
The excited Shen Ruo’s eyes were still bright, but he couldn’t say those words. He looked at Chu Xiao and was amused and felt silly for a moment.
Chu Xiao wasn’t upset that he didn’t have a chance to catch Shen Ruo. He had plenty of time anyway, so he retracted his hand very naturally. Seeing Shen Ruo looking at him with a silly look, a smile flashed in his eyes.
“Are you hot?”
Seeing that Shen Ruo’s bangs were a little wet, Chu Xiao’s deep magnetic voice sounded very gentle.
He played in the amusement city for more than an hour, but it felt that time flew much faster than trying on clothes. Shen Ruo did sweat a thin layer of sweat.
Looking at the time, Chu Xiao said, “It’s almost lunch time, why don’t we go there now?”
“Okay.” Shen Ruo rarely objected to Chu Xiao’s decision. Basically, whatever Chu Xiao said, that was what he said and he would just nod in agreement.
However, Chu Xiao did not leave immediately. He stood in front of Shen Ruo. With the long slide behind him, when Shen Ruo came down, he avoided the exit and would not block others. People kept passing by him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Shen Ruo raised his head slightly in confusion. He looked at Chu Xiao, and asked him what was wrong, with his eyes.
“Your bangs…” Chu Xiao stretched out his hand, gently pushed aside the broken hair on Shen Ruo’s forehead, and said, “Long bangs will get stuck in the eyes and are not good for eyesight.”
His voice was low and magnetic. He spoke to Shen Ruo with such a gentle voice, and slender fingers brushed through his hair. His movements were very gentle, bringing a tickling feeling.
This time, Shen Ruo did not escape this subtle atmosphere.
He blinked, his expression ignorant, and after Chu Xiao put down his hand, his ears were quietly reddened and became hot when he recovered belatedly.
Chu Xiao didn’t touch it for a long time. He put his hand down as soon as he touched it. He smiled and said to Shen Ruo: “I didn’t want to cut my hair when I was a child. That’s what Grandpa told me.”
He explained like that, which sounded like It’s just because of his own experience that he cared about Shen Ruo. And Shen Ruo had also had contact with the old Duke Chu, so it’s not sudden to mention it.
Nodding blankly, Shen Ruo didn’t know what was wrong with him. He felt a little uncomfortable, so he avoided Chu Xiao’s gaze.
Seeing Shen Ruo lower his head, Chu Xiao could clearly see that his slightly exposed ears turned red. He curled his lips with satisfaction and smiled silently. That was the first time in a few days that it worked.
“Would you like to cut your bangs?” Chu Xiao was in a good mood, no longer teasing Shen Ruo, and asked him with a gentle smile.
And Shen Ruo, who bowed his head, quickly adjusted his mood. Chu Xiao was a good person, so he just cared about him.
In the past few days, Chu Xiao had maintained the image of a well-educated young master, which had successfully left a very positive impression on Chu Xiao in Shen Ruo’s heart, and it was instantaneous. Chu Xiao had never done anything out of the ordinary, so all Shen Ruo could think was that it was his own problem.
After hearing Chu Xiao’s words, Shen Ruo thought for a moment, then raised his head and said in a low voice, “Okay.”
The long bangs that reached his eyes would indeed make him feel uncomfortable.
Before coming to Emperor Star, his second aunt wanted to take him to get his haircut, but just like the new clothes, Shen Ruo rejected it.
And in fact, he had always been like that. Except for the two friends he had played with since childhood, he was always silent and didn’t talk much when meeting other people he didn’t know well, especially at school.
In elementary school, there were one or two little boys who bullied him, but at that time Shen Ruo didn’t tell them, but he would cry.
As soon as he cried, the beautiful little bun with tearful eyes looked pitiful. The little boy walked away nervously, fearing that he would tell the teacher. Besides, bullying a little YaRen was not a glorious thing in the first place.
Later, Shen Ruo had a few friends. Although he didn’t like to talk, he was very well-behaved and didn’t cause trouble. Like most ordinary children, he grew up peacefully.
There were also Shen Yi and Shen Hong. The three of them had been together since they were young. Shen Ruo had fought twice as he grew up to this age.
Of course, he didn’t know how to fight, but Shen Yi, who was already in poor health, was bullied. He couldn’t just sit back and watch, and his small body was beaten several times.
However, he also bit the opponent’s arm fiercely, dragged out till the stronger Shen Hong came with his friends, and finally beat the boy who bullied Shen Yi and Shen Ruo.
Since Shen Ruo agreed, Chu Xiao took him to the place where he got his haircut.
After the haircut, Chu Xiao looked at Shen Ruo who showed those extremely beautiful eyes for a while, and then looked away from Shen Ruo’s embarrassed expression. He smiled and said to him that he looked good like that, and it wouldn’t hurt his eyes.
It was already time for lunch, so Chu Xiao took Shen Ruo to Haijing Pavilion to fulfill his promise.
It was also Chu Xiao who paid the bill. When he turned on his light brain, he looked at Shen Ruo inadvertently. He didn’t pay attention to it before, but looking at it now, Shen Ruo’s hair was soft and smooth, and it should feel very good…
————
It was already evening when they returned to Chu Mansion. Shen Ruo was indeed a little tired from playing all the time from morning till now, but he was very happy. The sadness of his second uncle’s departure in the morning was released a lot.
After going out all day, the two seemed to be getting to know each other better.
When getting out of the car at the entrance of the manor, Chu Xiao thoughtfully helped Shen Ruo open the car door, which shocked several servants who came over. When did their young master become such a gentleman?
The butler who happened to be outside also watched from a distance. When chatting with Old Lady Chu in the evening, he inadvertently brought up this matter and how Chu Xiao had behaved in front of Shen Ruo these days.
After all, Old Lady Chu loved her grandson, and she wanted to praise Chu Xiao blindly. So, she laughed and said, maybe Chu Xiao had grown up and knew to take care of little YaRen.
The butler on the side could only agree, but still secretly shook his head, the young master may not necessarily be like that.
Old Lady Chu didn’t know what happened to Chu Xiao who often hung out in Area D. Considering that she was old and couldn’t stand the excitement, she was usually kept in the dark if possible. So, she didn’t know much about it. No matter how hard his fist was when Chu Xiao faced other people, he still behaved well when it came to his grandma.
“Have a good rest and I’ll take you out another day.”
Chu Xiao sent Shen Ruo to the front of the guest room, and told him with a smile. His voice was low, sounding a bit lingering.
Shen Ruo, whose eyes were exposed, looked up at Chu Xiao with a slight smile on his face. He was fair and delicate, with soft eyes, and he just looked at Chu Xiao like that.
“Well, you should also have a good rest.”
Shen Ruo said very seriously. He opened the door and went in. When he closed the door, he still waved to Chu Xiao softly and obediently.
After Chu Xiao left, those beautiful eyes seemed to still be in front of him, as well as the soft and well-behaved YaRen, who had no defense against him and still smiled so sweetly. Chu Xiao lowered his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
————
After entering the room, the smile on Shen Ruo’s face did not diminish.
His legs were a little sore. After eating, Chu Xiao took him around Area C again. That time, it was purely shopping.
Shen Ruo sat on the bedside, took off his shoes and massaged his legs. He had already had dinner when he came back, so he didn’t have to eat later.
Looking at the time, it was already getting late. So, Shen Ruo went to get his pajamas and prepare to take a bath and go to bed.
He casually pushed open the fitted wardrobe, only to see that it was full of clothes he had tried on in the clothing store, and there were more than 20 outfits.
Shen Ruo’s eyes widened. He thought that Chu Xiao would only buy those two outfits for him as promised, but he didn’t expect to buy so many.
For a moment, Shen Ruo was stunned as he stood in front of the wardrobe.
The warmth in his heart emerged again. Chu Xiao was a very good person and treated him very well.
He took the pajamas and went to wash up. The sound of running water sounded in the bathroom. Even the sound of running water was joyful to Shen Ruo’s ears.
Lying in bed, he remembered everything that happened today, Chu Xiao’s thoughtfulness, and even meeting his friend.
However, Shen Ruo remembered what Jiang Chen said when he was in the fitting room. He asked who Chu Xiao had brought. At that time, he was confused because what Jiang Chen said seemed to be as if there were other people Chu Xiao would bring with him.
But thinking about it again, that was a store that specializes in selling Yaren clothes. If Chu Xiao would go there, of course, it was not for him, but he must have brought other people with him.
After thinking about it, Shen Ruo stopped worrying about this, because it was not something he should worry about. Chu Xiao and him were just friends who had just met.
Besides, Chu Xiao must not only have him as a YaRen friend. He was so nice, and Jiang Chen had already said that he had many friends, and there must be other Yaren friends as well.
Shen Ruo was still happy thinking that Chu Xiao was a good person and he should be popular.
It was what Jiang Chen said, him teasing Chu Xiao, saying that Chu Xiao looked sexy in a suit. He could only say that the relationship between them must be very good, otherwise, this would be too, too unreserved.
When Chu Xiao went to checkout, although Jiang Chen said those words to him with a smile, Shen Ruo always felt that what he wanted to say was a bit strange, but he really couldn’t guess what Jiang Chen meant, and he only knew him for a short time…….
In short, most of the experiences during the day made him happy. Chu Xiao was very good at taking care of others.
He didn’t understand anything, and when Chu Xiao discovered it, he would teach him gently and patiently, whether when they were having a meal or in the amusement city.
He was a very gentle person.
Even though he didn’t know what the future would be like, he was still worried. He didn’t know what kind of fate he would have. He may stay, but of course there was a great possibility of leaving here.
Because he and Chu Xiao didn’t have any kind of relationship that could lead to marriage. He couldn’t use Grandpa Chu’s words to force Chu Xiao. If Chu Xiao had someone he liked, he would leave, and he and Chu Xiao would be just friends. That’s all.
But everything was going well now. He knew Chu Xiao and Old Lady Chu in Emperor Star. Here, he was not so lonely.
When he found a suitable opportunity, he would ask Chu Xiao, if he already had someone he liked, then he could go home earlier.
After Shen Ruo fell asleep, there was a slight smile on his face.
Poor baby… So the title of this story refers to chu xiao right?
Shen Ruo you’re too fucking nice. I just want to coddle him forever and let him live the best life QAQ
Such a naive baby 😩
I understand that news are suppressed but he should at least quick search ML’s name.
Ruoruo doesn’t deserve this green tea bitch! He deserves a good pampering loving husband! I riot against ruoruo falling for this white eyed wolf!
