Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[29] Cultivate Feelings (3)

Both a man and a ger spent the entire afternoon having a light talk and viewing the beautiful sight of lotus pond. Zhan Chen who was against the marriage, totally had forgotten about his plan to overthrow the upcoming marriage.

As someone with simple mind, Zhan Chen rarely thought of something hard. Even in his life before this, he never thought about the hardship and only thought of working to scrap off any money that he could save.

Zhan Chen thought back to his world before this, and a bit of melancholic filled his heart. He was an orphan, he never knew his parents and the only friend he was close to... well he had lost contact with that person.

At first he was waiting for him, but after a few years, a last part of his small heart turned cold. He was so used to be abandoned. First his parents and then, his only best friend.

Xian Long Wei was busy thinking to himself for how to be a good husband candidate when he didn't hear anything for a long time from his future Empress. He turned to look at his wife and saw his Chen Chen looking so sad that he could feel his own heart was hurting on behalf of his beloved.

Why would his Chen Chen look like that?

Did he do something to make him sad or...

Perhaps, someone had made his white rabbit sad?

A murderous thought filled his entire being. He would make sure that person was obliterated. Looking back at his melancholic wife, his previous murderous aura immediately gone as he moved and sat beside the young ger carefully.

"Chen Chen, what is wrong?" Xian Long Wei asked, his voice very soft like coaxing a child.

Zhan Chen looked up sideway at the handsome young Emperor and contemplating if all of this was a dream. It was illogical to think he was transmigrating to another world... But to think that he was dead at his old world and got reborn...

Was he really dead?

If he was dead, then, it was possible he died alone in his small room.

He had been living alone and worked hard in his entire life that he had no time to make friends.

Companions, yes. Coworkers, yes. But, a friend who he could confide in, none.

He was all alone in his life.

Alone...

Lonely...

Then, if he really died... would anyone find his body?

Emperor Xian watched as those sad bright eyes got colder and colder and empty. It felt like... Zhan Chen would suddenly leave him. Suddenly, something akin to fear filled his heart. His heart clenched and thumped in irregular beats. This was the first time, Long Wei felt fear gripped him hard. He was simply too scared to think that the reason why Zhan Chen would have this kind of expression.

Long Wei called cautiously, "...Chen Chen?"

The ger in question simply looked ahead of him, no changes to his previous empty, cold face.

Xian Long Wei felt so scared that he foregoing everything and anxiously embraced the smaller male into his arms. "It's okay, Chen Chen. Wei Dage will protect you and anyone that make you sad will pay heavily," he tightened his arms around the small, slim body and buried his face into that soft hair, "so... don't be sad."

Being hugged by the other male and hearing his heartfelt words, Zhan Chen felt warmth slowly filled his cold heart and body. Unconsciously, he lifted his listless arms and grabbed the other male's back in a desperate attempt to make sure all of these were reality and not another set of dream.

Before, he had always had dreams where he had parents and his best friend were with him. It was a happy, joyful dream but every time he woke up, it was shattered and he had to accept reality that he was all alone.

However, since he had come to this weird world, Zhan Chen didn't have that kind of dream again and it made him sometimes wondered if this was only an illusion.

To be reborn or perhaps transmigrated, even if it was illogical to think about it but just once Zhan Chen wanted to be happy... To feel how it was to have a family who love him and a special person who will love him...

Right at this moment, Zhan Chen totally forgot that he was to marry the man who embracing him. And he didn't agree to the marriage. However, in desperation to make sure this was all real, he forgot about all of that and tightened his own grips at the other's hanfu and hid his face in Long Wei's chest.

At first, Long Wei stiffened when he felt Zhan Chen hugged him back. But then, he felt nervous and cautiously, rubbed his future Empress' back in a soothing manner.

"It's okay, I'm here and I'll make sure Chen Chen is going to be the happiest ger in this world. So," he paused and tightened his arms, "don't be sad anymore."

Those spoken words were like a key to unlock the dark room of Zhan Chen's heart. Like he was waiting for this life just to hear that someone was there for him.

Zhan Chen took a deep, shaky breath to calm down and finally pulled back his chaos emotions, before pulled away from the older male.

Xian Long Wei was reluctant to let go but he told himself that he should go slow. Releasing his arms, he smiled down at the red teary eyed ger who looked up at him in gratitude and embarrassment.

"...I'm sorry, Wei Dage," Zhan Chen said with a soft voice. "And thank you." he didn't want to explain what make him suddenly break down and he hoped the Emperor would not question him.

It was obvious to Xian Long Wei that his Chen Chen didn't want to say anything. So, wearing his most calm, reassuring smile, he spoke, "It's fine and Chen Chen didn't have to thank me. I do this because I love Chen Chen and appreciate him as my most important person."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sudden loud thumping of his heart caught Zhan Chen off guard. Hm... he might caught a sudden illness. But, what kind of illness that came with palpitation and he kind of felt hot...

Xian Long Wei saw the red faced Zhan Chen and frowned in concern. He moved closer and placed his big palm over to his wife's forehead.

"It's a little bit warm..." Long Wei heaved a sigh and looked at Zhan Chen with concern. "It's already late afternoon. We should go back."

Zhan Chen looked at the young Emperor and for the first time fell in a daze as he stared at the young man. Today, Emperor Xian looked exceptionally handsome. He unconsciously nodded his head and felt his heart beat even faste

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He wonder if he is really sick? e got an illness, mental reminder to ask for his health checkup.

The coachman after he had received command from the Emperor, immediately pulled up the lowered back wall and went back to the General Bai's manor.

Having been comforted his future Empress, Xian Long Wei took this chance to sit next to him and started a light conversation.

Zhan Chen who gradually being pulled in by the conversation, momentarily forgot about his life before and his sudden strange condition.

Small Theatre

5 years Xiao Chen and 6 years old Older kid.

Older kid: Hey, give me that teddy!

Xiao Chen: No! Teacher Xi gave me this!

Older kid gritted his teeth and pulled the Teddy forcefully causing the small Xiao Chen to cry.

Older kid: Don't cry! You look ugly!

Xiao Chen: Am not ugly! You dummy!

Older kid: Am not dummy!

Teacher Xi: Xiao Ming! Are you bullying Xiao Chen again?

Older kid: Am not. I just want to borrow his Teddy.

Xiao Chen pursed his lips in dissatisfaction and cried again. Teacher Xi rubbed his temples before coaxing the crying Xiao Chen and punishing the older kid.
