35 Special Secret And The Promise Warmth

"... You can really be cruel to yourself."

Although Wang Ling knows the result of their plan, particularly when he himself helped construct most of it, however, when the Young Prince is been carried inside the carriage, an uncomfortable feeling still emerges in his heart.

"... I'm sure you understand."

Our identities might be honorable, however, they are the main reason why we also have to sacrifice something and be more ruthless than anyone else, even to ourselves.

Yusheng calmly smiles as he sits next to a newly disguised Wang Ling before calmly pulling out the dagger that had remained pierced in his body, only to stop when Wang Ling shows an expression of wanting to do it himself.

"Yes, because it is something that needs to be done."

Next time, I'll think of a better plan where you don't need to sacrifice yourself. Although I'm quite good at scheming, this is the best I can do in our situation.

The time has been short.

Although Wang Ling feels uncomfortable about the injured appearance of the Young Prince, his hand remains steady while pulling out the dagger from the young man's body.

And when Yusheng turns sideways, in order to pull the dagger in his back, a chilling emotion flash in Wang Ling's eyes when blood starts spilling from the injuries in the young man's back before it returns back to normal when the young man turns back.

"I'll treat your injuries."

"Yeah."

There is no need for Yusheng to be surprised and ask for the reason why Wang Ling is proficient with medicine, after all, if he was in Wang Ling's situation, he would also try to study medicine and medical skills in order to figure out his illness while having the ability to cure it.

"I'll pull your robe down alright? I have to clean up your injuries and rub an ointment on it."

Yusheng's long eyelashes lower down, hiding the flash of awkwardness in his pair of pupils as he nods his head.

And when the pair of slender hands start to pull down his upper robe, an unexpected strong contradiction suddenly starts to happen in his mind.

The two memories he has started to clash against each other.

Usually, when there is conflict in his mind because of a certain memory, Yusheng can just ignore it, or he can quickly choose what or how he will react during the situation.

After all, there is still a difference in how he acted as the Imperial Prince or the modern young man in each lifetime, especially on how they act or thought in certain situations.

And yet, he can't help but become restless at the thought of showing his naked upper body to Wang Ling.

For modern life, Yusheng is quite open in showing his naked upper body to another person, especially to a man. While from the memories of the physically self-conscious Imperial Prince, the strong apprehensiveness was quite hard to ignore.

However, such emotion and thoughts have been quickly swept away when Yusheng suddenly remembers an important fact that he seems to have ignored for a while now.

So when he quickly reached over to stop his inner robe from falling off his body, even though the outer robe had already been pulled down, an anxious expression appeared on his face.

"...? What's wrong?"

Yusheng gently licks his dry lips and cautiously glances at the confused Wang Ling who has thoughtfully stopped from pulling the remaining robes on his upper body before his gaze lowers down from the man's face and stops on the heart area on the chest.

From the information that could be known about the Short-Lived Prince of the Wang Empire after a quick investigation, the red mark of the carrier of miracle is on his left chest.

"... I seem to have forgotten something extremely important."

The intern-cheat system already mentioned that the consequences of Yusheng being a carrier of miracle wouldn't affect Wang Ling even though he had started acting intimate toward him in order to 'cure and heal' the supposedly incurable illness in the man's body.

But he forgot that the cheat he has received from Sun isn't the same for Wang Ling, who is also a carrier of miracles.

"Ah, yes, I also seem to have forgotten about it."

Wang Ling's eyes flash with unknown emotion after he suddenly understands the hesitation of the person before him.

"But you see… I'll tell you my most special secret."

The corner of Wang Ling's lip rises in a beautiful arc before he leans closer to the anxious and worried Young Prince.

And when he raises his right hand, there is suddenly a flow of energy before a familiar red mark appears on his wrist, which is the familiar mark symbolizing the carrier of miracle.

Yusheng, who has witnessed such an impossible situation, shows a stunning look in his eyes, at the same time, secretly noticing the sudden pale face of Wang Ling, which is definitely caused by the use of the special power.

"You see, instead of being a genuine carrier of miracle, the red mark on my body in the form of my special power. So, all these years, everyone has mistaken my special condition to be a result of being a carrier of miracles."

"Although that power gave me various hardships, it doesn't change the fact that it is also the entire reason why I managed to survive when I was born."

A son born with a red mark in the Imperial Family is almost impossible to become the next heir to the throne, it's the entire reason why those people didn't kill Wang Ling instead of completely cutting the roots of trouble.

Of course, Wang Ling also understands that the enemies don't want to completely push his Father against a wall with no way out after losing the most precious woman in his life, which would definitely make him go crazy if his newborn son also died at the same time.

Of course, the spared 'child' could also be used as a form of another weakness to shackle, bind or restrain the Emperor that continues to fight back despite the countless enemies around him who have various ambitions.

Although the enemy's schemes have fallen through after underestimating Wang Ling's capability, the supposedly easy-to-deal-with son has become an extremely dangerous existence in their lives and dreams.

"So, even if there is suspicion about my identity, as long as I show a red mark from the other part of my body instead of my left chest, I can deceive anyone about who I am."

Wang Ling raises his hand and couldn't help but gently pat the Young Prince who is a few years younger than his age. And also a similar person who also has the same hardship in life as he silently gazes at the injured body.

"So, do not worry. I am not a real carrier of miracles. We won't be affected by any severe consequences even if we act intimate."

Pat

Pat

Wang Ling can't help but show a charming smile when the Young Prince widens his eyes in surprise, before suddenly showing a rather embarrassed expression on his face when the young man become stunned after hearing what he has spoken next

"You can continue holding my hand, even giving me a hug or whatever makes you comfortable. I really don't mind since it's quite comfortable and pleasant. Besides… I have never gotten so close to other people before, so I have never thought that it could be so warm and nice."

… Although, I seem to not mind for you to even become more intimate…

Wang Ling awkwardly flutters his long eyelashes, outwardly showing his nervousness, along with a hint of fragility and shyness to the young man. And yet, inwardly, his mind silently flashes those brazen and rather shameless words.

Of course, the completely ignorant and oblivious Yusheng doesn't know what kind of calculation and acting the person before him is secretly scheming. And he can't help but suddenly compare their lives.

Although there are complications in Yusheng's life, he has an older brother who has genuinely loved him. While his Emperor Father is more genuine with his feelings and cares toward him than the other rulers in the other Empires that treat their children in a completely different manner.

The person Yusheng wants to protect and take care of seems to only have his Imperial Father, who is being pressured and surrounded by various enemies.

So, it isn't surprising, when Yusheng feels slightly soft towards the suddenly fragile and pitiful man before him.

"If you really don't dislike my touch, I will continue giving you warmth whenever I can if that is what you want."

A flash of light appeared in Wang Ling's pair of pupils, which are hidden by the long eyelashes with his head slightly bowed.

And when he raises his head, there is a bright smile on his lips, while his pair of pupils glimmer with expectation and a hint of happiness.

"Its doesn't fair that I am the only one receiving such warmth. Sometimes, I'll also do it for you, alright?"

I can't only be the one on receiving end right? After all, I need to be more proactive than you.
