Forever Mine[BL]

Chapter 30: Fluffy Fantasies/Arc 4.5

Wang Tao passed through the garden and arrived at his favorite spot. His tense body relaxed as he passed through the bed of flowers.

"Ah!"

The Celestial whipped his head towards the sound. His eyes showed a momentary shock when he noticed the cause.

There stood Chen Xiang who had covered his mouth once he'd emitted the sound. The human nervously looked at the beast man nearby.

Wang Tao frowned before walking up to the boy. His eye twitched in annoyance when he understood the situation.

Bending down, he picked up the fallen petals of the flower and held them in his palm. Exhaling softly, he turned to look at Chen Xiang, awaiting an explanation.

"I-I'm sorry I just. I-...I'm sorry please don't get mad."

The boy's eyes watered as he stuttered. He fidgeted with his shirt as he anxiously tried to judge the other's reaction. One would find it a bit hard to tell whether this was an act or not. 

If he didn't see firsthand the bubbly personality of the other, Wang Tao might have believed it. But that was unlikely as he was already doubting the cheerful side of the boy.

"I'm not mad. Just don't touch them again."

Wang Tao simply stated this before directing his attention to the damaged flower. These were flowers he'd made and they were actually quite difficult to create so he took good care of them. Wang Tao was perplexed on whether he should use his powers since these flowers were not the type to regrow very quickly.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiang glared at the other, irritated at his reaction. He'd been hoping the other would act out more since he knew how important the flowers were to him. Zhou Jian had told him a while back.

The transmigrator's worries about the closeness between the two friends had returned. Even if the older man wouldn't reciprocate the feelings, the growing trust between them posed a problem.

Chen Xiang was hoping to create an incident for him to show the original's trauma and force Zhou Jian to ban the other from being near his lover. All that was left was to show some dependency on Zhou Jian, a valid excuse to be around more often, creating little opportunity for Wang Tao to approach his friend since the boy was near.

[ System. ]

[ Yes host? ]

[ Is there anything in the system shop that can cause negative emotions to flare up? ]

[ Umm, yes there is…W-ehat will you use it for? ]

[ Mind your business. How much? ]

[ 2050 S points. ]

[ Can it be spread in the air? Towards Wang Tao. ]

[ ...Yes but that will be 100 extra S points. ]

[ I'll take it. I have a lot of points from my previous missions. ]

[ All done...Target has consumed it. What now host? ]

[ Just watch and learn. ]

"Tsk, where is my slave?"

[ H-host! Why did you say that. Beast men have great hearing. He probably heard! ]

[ That's the point. ]

[Huh? W- ]

The system froze.

The small blue ball wasted no time disappearing into the system space in fright.

The young man blinked his eyes innocently as he looked at the beast man before him. Chen Xiang kept up his act but could feel himself trembling from the pressure the man exuded.

Wang Tao's eyes narrowed as he glared at the human. His silver eyes had turned crimson as his tail struck.

He was enraged at the fact that the lowly human dared call Zhou Jian a slave. He had immediately picked up on who the boy was referring to.

Chen Xiang screamed as the silver tail flung him across the garden. He was bashed against a nearby tree and his body cried out in pain.

In moments, he felt a hand wipe his bloody lips and blinked away the tears to see Zhou Jian. The man was quite concerned as he held his lover close to him.

Chen Xiang struggled but managed to grab onto his lover and began to cry. The tear streaked face of the boy would evoke sympathy from spectators, if there were any. Zhou Jian hurriedly wiped the boy's tears as he comforted him and looked up at his friend.

The Celestial had come back to his senses, his anger long forgotten. The phoenix eyes were once again silver and the murderous aura had instantly disappeared once the Zion arrived.
