'Never Dull Your Shine For Somebody Else'

"How dare you molest my son in front of me!". Shouted Li Mei angrily.

Yes...It was non-other than Chen Li who suddenly struggle and freed himself from the servant's constraint and then strode forward toward Wei Hen and kiss him profusely. He can't hold himself back when he saw him smiling and heard his pleasant voice. He's been missing him these past few days.

All the rage from before when Wei Hen's asked what the purpose he wants to find him earlier vanished into thin air the moment he covered Wei Hen's lip with his. The soft sensation of Wei Hen's lip makes the memories of the lovemaking scene he had with Wei Hen deep in the alley pop out in his mind. He took the opportunity to deepen the kiss when he felt that Wei Hen did not struggle yet.

What the...

Wei Hen tried to push Chen Li away with his hands when he recovered from his stupified. But all his struggle was in vain. Chen Li's hand was holding the back of his head firmly while his other hand was around Wei Hen's waist hugging him tightly close to his body the moment he felt Wei Hen start to resist. This action makes their kiss a bit deeper than before.

Chen Li inhaled Wei Hen's escaped breath through his nose.

"Hnnn...". Wei Hen whimpered while his mouth was covered by Chen Li's kiss.

The servant who was stunned by Chen Li's action started to come forward to release his young master from this molester's grip when he heard his Young Master Wei Hen's whimper.

Sensing this, Chen Li reluctantly parted his lip with Wei Hen's lip. He licked all their mixed saliva that was left on his lip.

Chen Li hugged Wei Hen tightly and buried his face in the crook of Wei Hen's neck. He sniffs Wei Hen's scent mixed with a floral aroma.

'It smells nice...'.

He thought.

The servant didn't put much force into his action to separate Chen Li from his Young Master Wei Hen because he was afraid that he might hurt his young master.

Li Mei was also taking an action by pinching hardly on Chen Li's hand that tightly hugged her son's waist.

As a result, Chen Li grunted in pain. But he still didn't want to let Wei Hen go.

Seeing all this chaotic situation, Wei Hen stopped struggling and said "Mom stop and you too..." Wei Hen point at the servant "stop your effort!". The two mentioned people stopped their actions reluctantly. Wei Hen covered his face with his palm. He was so exhausted.

After a few seconds, Wei Hen who was standing still while hugged tightly by Chen Li said " Are you done?".

Chen Li replied "No" with a muffled voice to his question. He can feel the touch of great sensation by hugging Wei Hen's body through Wei Hen's thin inner garment. It felt great to hug Wei Hen's body when he was in his inner garment.

His hot breath puffed out and landed on Wei Hen's neck.

"Impudent! My son is not a tool or prostitute to be touched freely by you whenever you want!". Said, Li Mei angrily.

"Young Master Wei Hen, let me hit him with a stick till he becomes half dead before sending him to Chen Residence". Said the enraged servant. His Young Master Wei Hen is not so cheap to be touched by any man.

"No, do nothing. Just make some tea for my mother to calm her down. It is not good for her health to be concerned about this thing. It's already enough for her to worry about me being missing these past three days.".

Wei Hen said to the fumed servant.

When the servant heard this, he directly went to prepare the tea and dates for Li Mei.

While making a worried face, Li Mei said "But Wei Hen..." to his son.

"No mom, I can handle this". He assured his mom with a soothing voice.

Li Mei then walks to the wooden table nearby and sits on the stool around the table while sipping the tea that had been prepared by the servant earlier with a heavy heart.

Chen Li's hug becomes a bit loosened when he listened to Wei Hen's soothing voice earlier. Although the words are not said for him.

But the question that Wei Hen would say to him next would make him know the reality and a bit embarrassed.

"When was the last time you take a bath and rinse your mouth?". Wei Hen asked him curiously. He looks him in the eyes. But Chen Li avoided his eyes.

The odour is not that obvious but when you come closer especially now when they hugging, it was a bit unpleasant to the nose.

"Umm...yesterday morning...". Chen Li said embarrassingly.

"What!? And you even dare to kiss and hug my son!?". Li Mei who was not far from them questions him angrily, instead of Wei Hen who should be angry for being a victim.

"Young Master Wei Hen, I'll prepare another inner garment for you". Said the servant.

Again, Wei Hen face-palm his face. He even dares to kiss him with his unrinsed mouth. How many bacteria had Chen Li transferred to his mouth?

Besides, the people in this world didn't have any toothbrushes yet. They only rinse their mouth with salt water in the morning and before sleeping. And there would be food residue that lies in the crevices of the teeth.

He believes only Chen Jiang and his mother have toothbrushes and toothpaste in this world. And it was made by himself.

Sighed, Wei Hen said to him " You should go back, take a bath and rest. You look awful".

"You're right, I'll go back now". Said the embarrassed Chen Li before striding out of the room. He also did not forget to glimpse at Wei Hen before he reached the door, and bit his lower lip.

'It's good that he obedience in the end'. Thought Wei Hen. What made Wei Hen also curious was why his knuckles were injured. Did he fight with someone?

That playboy and mischievous man's existence is so irksome.

What is important right now is his future.

He walked towards where her mother at and sit across from her.

"Mom, I want to discuss something with you". He said to his mother.

"No, you should take a rest. You look exhausted". She said to Wei Hen. Her son looks really weary right now. "We can discuss it tomorrow". She continued.

"No mom it's really important". Replied Wei Hen with a serious expression.

"Hmmm, what is it?". She asked her son.

Before answering her, Wei Hen took the outer garment from the servant's hands and put it on. The servant asks him if he wanted to change his inner garment because of the close contact with Chen Li earlier and Wei Hen replied with a no. Wei Hen said that It was okay but the servant still insist. Then Wei Hen reassured him that it was really okay.

The servant then gives up and strides out of the room knowing that he had no obligation to stay and listen to his masters' discussion unless they were permitted to.

After the servant left, Wei Hen faced his mother with a serious look.

He said, " Mom, I will go to the county near the border".

"Pfft-". Her mother who was sipping the tea from the cup splurted the water inside her mouth. She was so shocked by what she had heard just now.

"W-what are you saying?!". She said. Her eyes bulge in surprise.

"I will go to the border". Wei Hen repeated.

" But why?". Li Mei asked again. The county at the border is like a volcano mountain. You will never know when it will erupt. You will never know when it will be a war. Your life is on the front line if you live at the border. Why does his son suddenly want to go to the border?

"Do you tired of your life so you want to go to the border to commit suicide?". She raised a question to her son. Is he so sad because he can't live without Chen Jiang and didn't want to live anymore? Leaving her alone in this world?

"No! Wei Hen, you can't leave your mother alone in this world! I only have you in this world!". Li Mei started to cry. She was so panicked when he thought about Wei Hen wanting to commit suicide.

When Wei Hen saw her mother panic and cried he was dumbfounded. Did he look like wanted to commit suicide? He would never take his own life because of that man.

"Mom, I never said that I want to commit suicide". Wei Hen said while touching his forehead with his palm.

"Then why you decided to go to the county at the border". Li Mei felt relieved when she heard her son didn't go to the county at the border to commit suicide then asked him why he decided to go there then.

"I want to gain some merit and change our status in this world". He replied with a serious look. They like influential people that much, I can show them what they want.

"Son, you can't join the military because of your physic". Li Mei said. It's the harsh truth but Li Mei had to say it to his son. Because the reality is it is really like that.

"No mom, I didn't plan to gain merit through military service. I planned to gain merit through charity". Said Wei Hen to his mother.

"But how?". Li Mei was curious, about how his son will gain merit through doing charity. It's not she doesn't believe her son. Instead, she was really confident in her son. If not for his son, she wouldn't live comfortably right now.

"Like helping those who needed.". Wei Hen explained it simply with a short sentence.

"H-how?". Li Mei asked, still didn't get a clue.

"You will know it in the future". Wei Hen said to her while grinning. Let them see what people from the 21st century can do.

There were Quote saying 'Never dull your shine for somebody else'. Before, Wei Hen work harder for the person who was betraying his love and trust, but now, he wants to work for himself and his mother.

"O-okay, then when do you plan to take off?".

She asked while stuttering. "Then, can you bring me with you?". She continued. She was so anxious when she thinks her son was about to go to the county at the border.

"I will take off to the border today, and you will not come with me. You don't have to worry about me, I'll bring Zhi Peng and many other servants with me". He spoke about his plan to her mother with a reassuring tone to lessen her mother's worries.

Li Mei only can clutch the fabric of her cloth around her chest when she heard the words that come out of her son's mouth. She felt it was too sudden for her son to make his decision. "Why not another day? You've been missing for days and just got back".

"Mom, I have my plan, the sooner the better. I promise, when my plan is successful, I will be back. Besides, I will send letters to you frequently". He said to calm his mom's worried heart down.

"Okay...". Li Mei said sadly.

Seeing her mother being upset like this, Wei Hen get up from his seat and hugged his mother's head and kiss her temple.

After Wei Hen settled convinced her mother he ask the servant earlier who was waiting outside the door to enter the room.

"You, what's your name?". Wei Hen asked the servant with a serious expression. He didn't know the name of most of the slaves at her mother's residence. Because, it was Zhi Peng, Shi Lei and Xin Yi who he asked to buy some servants to do some chores and errands in her mother's residence.

"I-Im Zhinu". He said while stuttering. He felt nervous for some reason when Young Master Wei Hen asked for his name.

"Zhinu go and find Zhi Peng, Shi Lei and Xin Yi. Tell them, I request for their audience.". Wei Hen said to Zhinu. Then he sat back on the stool.

"Mom, did Zhi Peng, Shi Lei and Xin Yi know I had been back?". Wei Hen asked her mother. He frowned. Why did they didn't come and see him? Are they going to become the next 'Chuhua'?.

"Yes, they did. They wanted to go to your courtyard straight away when they heard about your return. But I stopped them to handle the people who we hired to search for you this past three days and distribute the wages.

"Oh, I see". Wei Hen said while nodding.
