World 3.4

"Ruru"

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 10%'

{Finally! The love meter increased!}

"Pfftt!!!" Yang covered his mouth to suppress the laughter. 

Ru Xian crooked his eyebrows "Why are you laughing?! Are you making fun of me!?" He said as he pursed out his lips

Yang pause and then he looked the man straight in his eyes "No, I mean...Your name is so cute" he replied

"Tch!" Ru Xian clicked his tongue as he stood up from the table "Shameless mouth!" He uttered

Yang stopped laughing and then he traced the Ru Xian's action. The male took the empty plate from the table and then he cleaned up the place. Yang felt guilty from the man's action so he initiated to wash the dishes.

Ru Xian didn't bother the male washing the dishes at the sink, he should be thankful to him for serving him food. He stood up and then he went to his room to search for some old clothes. He took two pairs and then he headed back to the kitchen.

"You…" he spoke, Yang ignored him who was busy sweeping the kitchen. Ru Xian finds it annoying, as the prince, no one dares to ignore him, in fact they're all craving for his attention and then this lowlife in his eyes over there is doing the opposite thing.

Meanwhile, Yang can hear Ru Xian, but he didn't like the way the male called him. They should be calling each other by their names since he already introduced himself earlier. 

"You stubborn lowlife!" Ru Xian's voice growled around the small kitchen area. Yang noticed the annoyance in his voice so he put down the broom and then he faced Ru Xian.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" Yang crossed his arms "Ruru…You know how to call someone by their name right?" He spoke with a dissapointment on his face.

Ru Xian twitched his lips "You dare make a disappointment face about 

my action" he sneered

"Ruru.." Yang called out again "I told you to call me by my name, is my name too--" 

"Enough!" Ru Xian's voice dominated the atmosphere, his cold gaze traced Yang from head to toe and then he slammed the pair of clothes on the table. 

Yang titled his head with a puzzled look. "What's wrong with him?" He thought

Ru Xian didn't say another word, he took quick steps heading to the kitchen door but stopped halfway. "Take a bath and wear the clothes, you stink so much" he said, not even looking back at Yang.

Yang flinched in vexation "You!" Then he sniffed his armpits "I don't smell that bad!" 

Ru Xian clicked his tongue enough so that Yang could hear his frustration "Filthy people have no rights to talk to me" he said sternly, then he left the room.

Yang didn't bother to call him again, he quickly finished his cleaning before heading to the bathroom. He didn't know why 'Ruru' was acting like that but it seems like the man came from a noble family. 

He almost forgot that he was running away and just came here to hide. Although, It seems that this place is far from the palace, he is still worried about what could happen.

***

The palace guards rushed towards Ru Xian the moment he stepped to the palace. Everyone bowed to show their respects.

"Master Ru" the servant run towards him and bowed "Master Ru, the palace guards are still on their mission to catch the prisoner back" he said with full respect

Ru Xian glanced at him "Tell them to stop, it doesn't matter anymore" 

The servant was shocked under his head but he didn't dare to show it to his highness, it was the very first time that Ru Xian withdrew his orders. Ru Xian usually misses nothing when it comes to such things.

Usually the palace guards are even punished when they don't immediately follow his wishes but now they don't see anything uncomfortable in his aura. Ru Xian's face was warm and calm.

"Yes, my lord" the servant replied

"Now get lost" Ru Xian turned his back away as he headed to his room.

He was smiling deeply after closing the door, he removed his red robe and then dropped himself onto his bed. He couldn't forget the moment Wuwu called him by 'Ruru'...it was cute and amusing. 

A slight redness crawled to his cheeks as he smirked but he immediately straightened his lips when he realized that he shouldn't be thinking that kind of thing.

Wuwu was a charming guy, he smiles like there's no tomorrow, he eats like he was going to die, he was doing things according to what he wants and he was carelessly a straight-talker, saying all the things that came from his mind. 

Somehow, Ru Xian felt a little bit of jealousy. Since he was a kid, everything was always under his father's orders, he didn't have the freedom to do what he really wanted to do until now.

He was in so much thoughts when a blue halo showed up to his face, he sat up and opened his palm. The halo twirled around before revealing a message.

You shall protect his bid

Bury it inside your chest

Your nightmares will end

It was a message from the Suan Ming. Ru Xian was a little bit hesitant, it's too early for him to do such things. Wuwu and him are still strangers to each other but if it is what the Suan Ming wants him to do, he should obey it. 

***

Yang was enjoying the cold water from the tub but he needs to hurry or else Ruru will kick him out for taking a long bath. He finally stood up to dry himself, he went outside wearing a towel on his lower torso.

He was humming a happy sound when a loud crash coming from the outside hit his ears.

"What was that?!" He exclaimed

He hurriedly put the white robe around his body and then he slowly peaked at the dining room, no one was there. Yang tiptoed going to the front door. It was quiet, so he slowly placed his ears to hear what's outside.

BANG!

"Arghhhh!!!!!!" Yang screamed in pain, he didn't know that Ruru was coming so when the man slammed the door open, it directly hit his face.

"What are you doing?!" Ru Xian snarled "Are you a dumb?" He said as he looked down on Yang who's still sitting on the floor holding his nose.

Accidentally, Ru Xian's eyes went down to Yang's pale thighs the moment his white robe caressed his legs. 

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 15%'

Ru Xian's face turned red real quick, he can see that Wuwu is not yet finished dressing up himself when he came in a rush. A sudden jolt under his stomach was urging within him.

"Damn! My nose!" Yang finally exclaimed as he stood up and glared at Ruru "Don't you know how to knock?! You hit my nose very hard!" He snorted

The other man didn't reply, instead he pulled Yang towards the bedroom.

"Sit still" he ordered

Yang sat on the bed, Ruru left him for a minute and then came back with some medicines on his hands. He took the small bottle containing a cream and then he bent closer to Yang's face to scan the bruise.

Ru Xian's heart pound like it was going to explode, it was maybe because of his nervousness. This is the first time he's doing it for someone but he shouldn't be tense, he's the crown prince. He's brave enough to face this.

Yang didn't speak, he was just waiting for Ru Xian to dump the cream so that he could dress himself. 

"Ow!" He flinched when the cream from Ru Xian's finger touched his skin. He closed his eyes tight to endure the pain, it was stinging him. 

Ru Xian blew his nose a little to reduce the pain. 

Yang's sight became blind,he could feel like he might cry if he opened his eyes. A sweet and aromatic scent suddenly invaded his nostrils, it was Ru Xian's smell. He sniffed it slowly and found it relaxing,they are so closed that it was only an inch away for them to kiss.

{He smell like a baby}

AUTHOR: Such a pervert

{Is it perverted to smell someone?!}

Ru Xian put the cream on Wuwu's nose without a warning, of course the male jolted in pain. He finds it amusing so he blew it a little to tease him more, but it seems like he's the one who is teased.

His eyes went up to the male's long and curly eyelashes, his straight line bridge nose was really cute, his lips were pink as cherry, and he bet that it was soft and fragile.

'What am I thinking? Such a shame as a crown prince! I shouldn't be thinking like this...This is wrong, he's just a lowlife boy, get a hold of yourself Ru Xian!'

He was debating with himself inside his mind when Yang slowly opened his eyes "Are you done?" He asked

Ru Xian stood up straight "Yes, just put it again after an hour" he replied.

Ru Xian was going to turn around when he accidentally stepped on the hem of Yang's robe. 

FLAPP!!!

Yang was cornered by Ru Xian side by side. They were both surprised when Ru Xian fell on Yang's top.
