World 3.15

The cold faded away the moment he felt the warm embrace from another body. A familiar scent invades his nostrils.

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 45%'

"I-Im sorry" a voice beside his ear said, caressing his back to give comfort.

Wuwu's half conscious body leaned towards the man, resting his head on it's shoulder. He can feel the heavy breath coming from the other male. It seems like he ran meters away just to come for him.

"R-Ruru…"

Wuwu gained back his consciousness after an hour, he was in a familiar room. He slowly lifted up his eyelids and then roamed his eyes around. He tried to move his arms and legs, it was unchained. 

He whined when a furry thing jumped on his top. It's eyes looked at him. "Ruru" he uttered, he tried to lift up his hand to give it a pat, but the wolf just snarled at him.

"Okay..c-calm down" 

Wuwu laid his head back on the bed and then he let the wolf sniff him. At first, it was just doing some small moves and then after a few minutes, it suddenly put its paw on his chest.

"What's wro--Ngh!"

He groaned the moment he felt the slick and wet tongue of it on his neck, a different sensation crawled to his head that caused him to blushed.

Ruru didn't look at him, he continued to do what he was doing. With his paw on the male's chest, he knew that he could control everything. Turning into a wolf is not the only thing that was included in his curse. He can cure wounds and bruises just by cleaning it using his tongue.

He thinks that it was his fault in the first place. Wuwu was beaten to death and his body almost gave up. He just needed to cure everything to lessen the guilt he was feeling right now. 

While Wuwu couldn't move because of the weight on top of him. He averted his gaze the moment he felt another sensation crawled to his system.

{What is he doing to me?!}

AUTHOR: Stay Calm and just let him

{Wait! What?}

AUTHOR: I can see that you are having lewd thoughts right now

"Ah!" Wuwu jolted his heart out when he felt Ruru's wet tongue slide down again to his stomach, the wound in there was deep and sore. The cold saliva from the male was enough to bring him this uncomfortable pain under his stomach. His body was so sensitive right now.

"R-Ruru…" he uttered once more, clenching the blanket beside him.

Aside by turning to a wolf when touched by other people, he can also do it alone. Ru Xian knew himself so much, there's this one time when he accidentally transformed into a wolf the whole day not eating anything. He was so disappointed at that time.

He managed to heal Wuwu quickly, he left the male on the bed after transforming back to a human. He hurriedly took a bath. Inside the bathroom he was having many thoughts; like punishing every palace guard for laying a hand on Wuwu. He thought that killing them is not enough, maybe a torture. 

When he got out of the bathroom, he saw Wuwu sitting on the windowpane. He was all well, the bruises and wounds are now all healed. His eyes got fixated on him the moment he blinked, he watched the male leaned his head on the sides. It was unusual to see a quiet Wuwu.

"W-Wuwu…" 

Ru Xian gathered all his courage to call him out. 

Wuwu hopped down from the windowpane, shaking off the hem of his robe. "I didn't know that you can heal wounds" then he flashed a big smile on his face. It was shown on his face that he was so amazed after noticing the faded wounds on his body.

Ruru averted his gaze as he realized what he did earlier "I j-just want to h-help" he mumbled

Wuwu circled around him lively and then he hugged Ruru from behind. The other male got surprised "Thank you!" He exclaimed in a cheerful tone

Ruru froze in an instant, he was deafen and only he could hear his heartbeat poundering nervously. He quickly pushed the male after feeling his breath run down to his nape.

"Stop!" He exclaimed

While Wuwu gave him a puzzled look. "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?" He asked bending towards the male

Ruru flinched in a minute after feeling Wuwu's hands on his shoulder, he quickly yanked away "I'm fine!" 

{Why is he so sensitive today?}

AUTHOR: You kept on teasing him

{It's for my mission}

AUTHOR: Your thoughts are honest and visible to me

{Wait a goddamn minute! I can imagine you smirking!}

Three knocks were suddenly heard behind the door. Wuwu quickly hid at Ruru's back.

"What is it?" 

The voice behind the door replied "Crown Prince, your father...Lord Zhen wants to see you" 

"Very well, give me enough time" Ruru answered, he can tell that the servant already left after hearing some fading footsteps.

***

"Welcome to the Chen Palace"

Wuwu's eyes beamed after leaving the carriage. Maids and servants wearing the same clothes lined up and bowed towards him. 

He was in awe as they walked to the pathway. The place was all organized and lively. All of the servants and butlers and palace guards were bowing their heads to him. 

He snapped back when they stopped, the servant who was guiding him, bowed his head.

"Young Master Xiao, Lord Lou is waiting for you" then he slowly slide the door open

Wuwu, who was still in shock followed what the servant told him. He removed his soft slippers and then bowed his head "Pardon my intrusion"

Chen Lou, behind the curtain; show a smile on his face "Welcome my dear guest" he greeted

The prince slowly caressed the curtain and showed himself. He gave an intimidating look, Wuwu kneeled down and bowed his head.

"Lift your head, such good matters...I am the Crown Prince of Chen Clan, nice meeting you" he took the seat in front of his tea table "You're my guest, please don't be too formal towards me" then he lift up the tea kettle

Wuwu scanned the male from head to toe secretly, the male was indeed handsome. His skin was white and smooth, his long hair was silky and black as jet. His fox-like eyes were deep ocean blue along with his long eyelashes.

Chen Lou tapped the table "Sit and have a tea with me, Xiao" he invited

Wuwu jolted after hearing his name, he didn't even tell everything to this prince and yet he already knew his name. Crown Princes with royal blood are indeed mysterious.

He took the seat in front of Chen Lou's tea table. "It's my honor"

And then he let the Prince pour him a cup of tea. "Drink it with all your heart, I don't have any bad intention towards you" he smiled as their cups clang together.

Wuwu took the tea in one gulp and then he placed it back on the table. "Your highness, I'm so thankful for your kindness, please take care of me" he said in a mannered way

Chen Lou, on the other hand smirked as he smell the scent coming from his fresh tea "It's my pleasure to help you and my dearest Xian" he replied

It is true that Wuwu could no longer wander around their palace so Ruru asked Chen Lou to take him in for a few days. He didn't know those two were very close and friends. 

Chen Lou stood up, he put his arms inside his sleeves as he turned around, facing the window "I am very pleased because Xian asked for my help, my love for him is endless" he chuckled

Wuwu lowered his head, something crawled up to his chest. His breath became heavy like there was something between his lungs and heart. He secretly clenched the hem of his sleeves.

"Your highness…" he uttered, it caused the prince to look back at him

Wuwu was not in the right place to ask or question the Crown Prince's emotion towards Ruru, but he needed some answers like assurance.

"Your highness…" he uttered once more "Do y-you have s-some sort of f-feelings for Prince Xian?" 

Wuwu's eyes widened the moment he realized what he just said. He sprang from his seat "Your highness!!! I am very sorry!!! I really didn't meant to said such wo--"

"Heh…" Chen Lou quickly dashed towards the male and then he swiftly cupped Wuwu's cheeks.

Wuwu stiffened the moment Chen Lou touched his face, he was surprised and speechless. Their faces were very close to each other, their noses were almost touching.

Chen Lou locked his eyes on Wuwu. His blue eyes were intimidating to look at. When he saw Wuwu blushed, his line of sight slowly went down to the male's mouth. 

He smirked, letting his thumb caress Wuwu's pink and soft lips. A mischievous smile brightened up his face.

"I'm more interested in you"
