After the two of them parted ways, Xiao YuAn walked slowly towards the wooden cabin, and on the way, he picked some wild fruits. To his surprise, some clouds suddenly began to gather, and it started to rain. However, the branches and leaves were thick, so the rain didn’t feel so heavy, and Xiao YuAn didn’t bother to run. He just casually picked a large banana leaf, placed it on top of his head, and walked towards the wooden cabin.

When he saw that he was close to the cabin, Xiao YuAn suddenly stopped.

Because he saw Yan HeQing standing outside the wooden cabin.

The rain curtain was heavy. He could witness it by seeing the breeze blowing against Yan HeQing’s sleeves, who was standing outside the cabin without any shelter to protect himself from the rain. Xiao YuAn didn’t know how long Yan HeQing had stayed outside, but he could see that his white clothes were all wet; droplets of water fell through his hair and down the side of his face, hitting a puddle under him and making it ripple a little.

Xiao YuAn saw him with one hand behind his back, and his eyes were staring at the place in which Xiao YuAn had left before, as if Yan HeQing was looking, but at the same time not. The rain obscured Xiao YuAn’s eyes and blurred Yan HeQing’s figure, making it look vague and confusing.

Xiao YuAn was startled at first, but then he swallowed a small red fruit, and quickly ran over to Yan HeQing: “Why are you…. Why is Gongzi standing here? It’s raining, quickly, get inside the cabin.”

Yan HeQing’s voice was hoarse, and it took a while before he could say in a soft tone of voice: “I thought….. I thought that you were gone again.”

Xiao YuAn pulled Yan HeQing into the cabin feeling extremely puzzled: “Again? You mean because I went up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs? But don’t I always come back? Why do you have to stay outside in the rain? You’re still injured, so don’t get your wounds wet, otherwise, they’ll get worse.”

Yan HeQing didn’t answer for a long time, and when Xiao YuAn lit a fire in the middle of the room, he spoke again: “Just now…. I heard you leave with somebody else.”

“Huh?” Xiao YuAn was taking off his wet clothes, so he didn’t react instantly after hearing Yan HeQing’s words; but once a few minutes passed, the reaction came over abruptly, and he began to fucking cry inside his mind.

‘Did Yan HeQing hear Zhang Baizhu’s voice?’

Since from Yan HeQing’s point of view, he was now Lin Shenling, and if he really wanted to develop their emotional scenes, it was better for Xiao YuAn to explain it clearly.

So, Xiao YuAn said: “Gongzi, please don’t misunderstand, he’s just my Shixiong. He usually goes up the mountain to pick up medicinal herbs like me, and we just happened to meet while he was picking some. Now Gongzi, quickly change your clothes, don’t keep wearing the wet ones.”

Yan HeQing closed his eyes and hmmed softly, but he still looked a bit upset. He then let Xiao YuAn help him take off his upper-garments, without making another sound.

At this, Xiao YuAn’s heart thumped.

By looking at Yan HeQing’s current appearance, Xiao YuAn thought: ‘Yan HeQing had already fallen in love with the Lin Shenling I’m pretending to be, and has likely already placed her in his harem! But Yan-ge, where did your evil charm and madness1 go? And even though you’re not a Tyrannical President, aren’t you also supposed to be like a type of Domineering Boss? Where’s your jealousy? Aren’t you supposed to press her against a wall and force a strong domineering kiss on her? And after the kiss you’ll say harsh dominant words, such as; “If you get close to that man again, I will break his leg” and so on?!’

‘Don’t be so upset! You were the one waiting in the rain! You’re the Domineering Boss, Yan-ge, not the second bitter love interest!! I can’t bear to see you act like this!’

The rain was falling heavily outside the cabin, and the two men inside the room were silent for a while, each immersed in their thoughts, worrying about the other. After Xiao YuAn took Yan HeQing’s upper-garment for him, he put it close to the fire to let it dry. When he thought that Yan HeQing’s undergarments were also wet, he turned his head, wanting to lean over Yan HeQing to warm his body.

However, Yan HeQing also happened to move this way as well, so Xiao YuAn ended up colliding with Yan HeQing as soon as he turned around.

The dry wood made a slight cracking sound amidst the burning fire, and then, the cabin fell into a cold silence.

Xiao YuAn, who kept his posture of throwing himself in Yan HeQing’s arms, blinked his eyes finding his lips kissing Yan HeQing’s extra cold cheek, which were like that because the rain water on his body hadn’t completely dried yet.

The scorching firelight leapt in Yan HeQing’s slowly widening eyes, and he felt like the world became shockingly silent, but only for an instant.

Xiao YuAn wanted to quickly retreat and apologize, but right the next second, his wrist was caught by Yan HeQing and Xiao YuAn was pressed to the ground. Their clothes, which were half-dry but not wet, were pressed together, and the body heat coming from Yan HeQing’s body gradually warmed Xiao YuAn. However, before Xiao YuAn could react, Yan HeQing fiercely kissed him on the lips.
