Transmigration: Save My Chastity

[52] Waiting For Him

Finally after a month and week of drought, the south-western of Xian Dynasty was finally blessed with rain. Both humans and animals rejoiced with this occurring of rain.

With the continuous rain, the once dried land slowly getting fertiled again. The water started to fill up the once dried river and lakes also the built-up dam. The wild animals began to enter the forest back where their natural habitats were. The newly planted crops grew into small green buds, slowed but steady.

After the south-western situation had stabled then Xian Long Wei called back the officials and army back to the capital.

It was a long two months battle with the weather and finally, they had won.

Xian Long Wei heaved a sigh as he read upon the report from the Minister of Home Affairs. The big issue was finally solved and he could start to think about his relationship with Zhan Chen.

It had been two months and no news from his betrothed.

Xian Long Wei was hesitant if he should visit the Bai's Manor. What if Zhan Chen didn't welcome him? And wanted the engagement to be ended?

If it was that then, he would be devastated. Xian Long Wei wanted to hear the answer but he was also afraid. Sometimes, he wondered if he should be a bit forceful but it wasn't in his nature to force a ger to marry him.

"Your Majesty, your ride to Bai's Manor has been prepared."

Looking up at the Head Eunuch, Xian Long Wei was surprised. Well, his expression didn't change from his usual cold face but a twinkle of his dark pheonix eyes showed his surprise.

But it was only for a second before it was gone. Xian Long Wei said his thanks to the older male and went to change his dragon chamber to change his official dragon robes to something more simple and casual.

After that he picked up a small rectangular wooden box on the table with delicate carving of little rabbits. He stared at the box before he put it into his long sleeve.

Walking out of the room, he paused and glanced at the Head Eunuch who waited beside the door to his dragon chamber.

"This way, Your Majesty."

.
.

After almost not seeing his father for more than a month, Zhan Chen finally able to see the general. He could see the fatigue on that matured and handsome face.

The general sat down heavily on the chair after he had cleaned up. Zhan Chen being a filial ger son, poured tea for his father and put a plate of sweets in front of the older male.

Bai Xiu Ying, "How is it? It's not only about the drought, isn't it?"

Bai Jian Yu took a sip of the hot tea and looked at his wife, "as usual, you're so sharp, my wife. It's not only drought. However, it has connection with it. Because of the drought, we were so busy trying to solve the problem and the bandits took that time to make trouble as well."

He paused. "Fortunately, the army was stationed there as per His Majesty's order. If not, there would be more trouble to be solved."

Both Bai Xiu Ying and Zhan Chen nodded their heads in agreement.

Zhan Chen who was anxious to hear about the emperor, fidgeted on his seat as he fiddled with his sleeves.

He then determined to ask anyway. Glancing at his parents who were talking, he gathered a courage and said in a small voice.

"Father, how's Wei Dage?"

Bai Jian Yu and Bai Xiu Ying paused their talk and glanced at their only child.

"Long Wei is good but he's too busy these days."

Inwardly, Bai Jian Yu was frowning. His little ger who was saying he didn't want to marry the emperor, starting to show concern for the young man.

"Oh..." dejected, Zhan Chen took a piece of sweets and put it into his small mouth. That meant, Wei Dage wouldn't come to visit him. And since the emperor was so busy, he couldn't go to the palace to visit him either.

Zhan Chen could only wait for Emperor Xian.

After excusing himself from the Bai's couple, Zhan Chen walked to his favorite pavilion under the cherry blossom trees.

Sitting on the stone stool, his gaze went far away as he wondered when would he be able to see the handsome young Emperor again.

Did the emperor already forget about him?

Or maybe he already bored with him and decided to find another ger to marry as his Empress?

As soon as this thought went through his mind, his chest felt a prick of pain. He frowned and rubbed on his chest.

He did fall for the Emperor it seemed...

Just imagining the picture of the emperor with some faceless ger made him upset.

His adorable face instantly scrunched into a sour dumpling.

Ugh...

He didn't want Wei Dage to fall for someone else but he also didn't know when would they meet again?

Sighing, he determined that the next time they met again... He would sincerely confess his feelings for the handsome emperor.
