"Ru Zhen!!!!"
A raging voice was heard along the hallways the moment Hua Yi whacked the door.
"This is unacceptable!! You dare treat your son like that!"
The atmosphere became heavy and dark between the two. Hua Yi walked towards the other man who was facing the window. His steps were heavy.
Ru Zhen smirked the moment Hua Yi fitted his stance. "It was such a wonderful day, Yi" he said
It made Hua Yi more angry that he almost gritted his teeth. He clenched his fist secretly "What are you doing to your son!?" He exclaimed
Ru Zhen remained calm "A king should teach his Prince a lesson, Is there anything wrong with that? I am just a father protecting my son" he said, not even removing his eyes that were fixated on the garden in front of him.
"You!" Hua Yi took a step back the moment his fist unconsciously flew in the air but he was stunned. Ru Zhen didn't dodge because he knew that Yi would never hurt him.
Hua Yi turned around with the hem of his robe swaying back with anger "I will not let you do cruel things again to Ru Xian!!" Then he vanished immediately.
Ru Zhen faced the window once more, then an evil smile stretches his face "If they were meant to be together, they will surpass any obstacle" he uttered
Meanwhile, the sun was already up above the horizon. Wuwu slowly opened his eyes, rubbing the edge of his eyelids.
The rain was already gone and only the chirping birds and rustling grasses could be heard. He stared above, the cave was rocky and dark. Then the events that happened yesterday bungled his thoughts that he almost sprang up.
"Ruru!!" He exclaimed
He remembered that he was chained and beaten to death yesterday and then Ru Xian came to rescue him. He blushed the moment he remembered how the Prince turned to a wolf to cure him.
{Wait a minute! Why am I thinking that?!}
AUTHOR: Oh? You're a pervert, Why are you still wondering
"Gah!!" Wuwu shook his head to throw the thoughts away. Then he realized that he was alone inside the cave. His feet quickly dashed outside.
His eyes widened from what he saw. There are palace soldiers outside around the area. He couldn't sink everything in front of his eyes, that's why he slowly turned his back as he tried to tiptoe to be quiet.
"Xiao! You're finally awake!" A cheerful tone greeted him.
Wuwu's face immediately turned white with some sweats dripping from his forehead. Of course! He didn't want to be beaten again!
"Good morning!" The cheerful tone greeted him once again. But all of his nervousness was taken aback when he saw Chen Lou, wearing his big smile.
"Prince Lou?!!" He exclaimed in surprise as he rubbed his two eyes in so much shock.
The Prince laughed at him "Xiao! You are not dreaming! I'm the real Chen Lou" he said trying to hold his laughter
Another body approached them, it was a familiar figure for Wuwu that his pupils almost dilated in excitement.
"Wuwu, you're awake.." Ru Xian said as he took the place next to Chen Lou
The two Princes shone in Wuwu's eyes like they're both diamonds waiting for him to pick them up.
{Royal bloods are really something}
Wuwu was stunned when Ru Xian hugged him, the male leaned his head on his shoulder "We are safe now, I asked help from Lou" he whispered
They both smiled after that embrace, they headed outside. The carriage was waiting for them. Ru Xian explained that before he escaped that night, he had already sent a pigeon messenger to Chen Lou for help.
"What are we gonna do now?"
Wuwu asked as they entered the royal carriage, his eyes turned to the small window as he parted it's little curtain.
Ru Xian sighed, he let his eyes look at Wuwu "We are going back to the palace" he replied
Wuwu jolted "Ehhh??!!! But! What if--"
"Xiao.."
Wuwu was frozen, he was deafen by the melodic sound invading his ears at the moment, the butterflies inside his stomach fluttering their wings. He heard it right, the Prince in front of him called him by his name.
Only he realized that his eyes were still fixated on the Prince, the gentleness on his eyes were enticing. Wuwu quickly diverted his gaze.
"You don't need to worry about my father, I will not let him touch you again" Ru Xian's eyes became serious as they both became silent.
***
"Wuwu?"
"Wuwu? Wake up…"
The male leaning on the carriage window opened his eyes, then he blinked three times. He saw a face with symmetrical features, his favorite phoenix yellow eyes were looking at him with gentleness on it's eyes.
"Wuwu, we are here" then Ru Xian reached out his hand to hold Wuwu's hand. They both entered the palace entrance. The two male were both surprised when petals from above fell slowly above their heads, the servants and royal guards were lined up side by side. There was a red carpet at their pathway.
"Today, We are going to do the ceremony," Chen Lou who was following them for a while said in a lively tone.
"C-Ceremony?!" Wuwu exclaimed in nervous since he didn't know all of this
Chen Lou put his arms around Wuwu "You are Xian's fated one, you were going to share your destiny with him!" he explained
Ru Xian's mouth immediately twitched the moment he saw Chen Lou's gestures towards Wuwu, he was not this selfish but when he saw the other Prince's closeness towards his fated one, his eyes quickly turned sharp and cold.
"Wuwu, Let's go!" He aggressively grabbed Wuwu's wrist towards him, and then he walked forward with him.
"I know you are jealous ,My Xian" Chen Lou thought to himself after chuckling, he wanted to provoke Ru Xian so badly because this is the first time for him to see his friend acting like this. The truth is, he was happy for the both of them.
The day went on without any disaster, Ru Zhen stayed inside his room. While Hua Yi supervised the ceremony until the end. Chen Lou, on the other hand, showered the village people with gifts and foods. Everybody was happy, busy and tired.
Until the night came..
"Master Xiao and Lord Xian, the Suan Ming wants to talk to both of you," one of those palace servants reported in front of Ru Xian's study room. The two headed out to the meeting room.
They were both seated in front of the teacup table with the old woman, she was going to tell them again what was in the prophecy.
"Would you mind telling us what the prophecy had shown you?" Ru Xian bowed his head with Wuwu as he asked.
The old woman bowed her head three times "It is my honor to deliver your fortune, Crown Prince" she added
The old woman took a sip from her tea and then she looked at the two male sitting in front of her "You two must stick with each other, especially Master Xiao" she said
"Ehh? What do you mean by that? Honorable old woman?" Wuwu didn't know what to call her so he decided to add some mannered words
"I do not wish to intend any harm but you should stay by the Prince's side if you want your life to be long...Your bid was your soul, and it was now inside Prince Ru's body, you are sharing a soul with him...let go and you will die"
{Wait! Did I hear it right?}
Wuwu was stunned but he remained calm "Honorable lady? Am I going to die?" he asked in confusion
"You should share and bound your body to gain enough strength, this will lessen your weakness Master Xiao" the old woman said bluntly
Wuwu flinched as his face reddened the moment he realized what the Suan Ming was talking about. His eyes widened in shock and embarrassment.
Ru Xian stayed quiet until they left the room. They were walking in the hallway when Wuwu stopped for a bit, it caused the other male to stop too.
"Xian…"
Ruru froze, tightening the grip on Wuwu's wrist. His heart pounded in flattery when he heard his name from Wuwu's lips, it was bringing him a different feeling.
"What's wrong? You have been very quiet since a while ago. Is there something bothering you?" Wuwu asked as he tapped the male's forehead to check if he got a fever or something, but everything is normal.
A surging jolt quickly flowed through Ru Xian's body, he pulled Wuwu quickly until they reached his room. He slammed the door locked as he pinned Wuwu against the wall.
"Ru--"
His words were sealed with a kiss, Ru Xian's lips occupying his mouth as their tongues intertwined. Wuwu almost grasped the Prince's shoulder as he felt the shortening of their breaths.
They both gasped when their lips parted. Ru Xian once again locked his enticing eyes back to Wuwu as he mumbled the words…
"I want to be bounded deeper to you"
