305. Spin-off: Si Yuhan VS Previous Ke Ruan

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

When Qi Cheng heard that Si Yuhan had returned, he hurriedly ran to Ruanhan Palace. Before he could even walk in, he heard Si Yuhan’s angry roar.

He hurriedly ran in and saw Ke Ruan lying quietly on the bed. He couldn’t help frowning. ‘It seems that something has happened to Ke Ruan again.’

“What’s wrong with him? You bunch of trash, why didn’t anyone tell me what happened?”

Si Yuhan, who never showed his feelings on his face, now had fear and worry all on his face.

“Forgive me, Your Majesty. I don’t know what’s going on. He looks like he’s asleep. And he doesn’t have any wounds or internal injuries.”

Si Yuhan frowned and roared, “Get out!”

The imperial physicians ran out in fear. Qi Cheng looked at the furious Si Yuhan and didn’t dare to say anything.

Si Yuhan sat on the bed. He brought Ke Ruan back here because many famous doctors were here, but it was useless.

Ke Ruan, who was lying on the bed, was flushed and had no pain, and his breathing was even. It seemed that he had fallen asleep, but why didn’t he wake up after sleeping for seven days?

Si Yuhan’s slender fingers fell on Ke Ruan’s fair cheek and stroked his soft skin.

‘’If he dares to leave him alone in this world, I promise that I will not let him go even if I turn into a ghost.’

Si Yuhan issued a notice to call for famous doctors to cure Ke Ruan. Many people saw the rich rewards and run towards the imperial palace of Red Flame Country.

However, no one could cure this strange illness. Ke Ruan lay down for a month. What surprised people was that the person who had been lying for a month didn’t look abnormal at all. Instead, his face was unusually rosy as if he fall asleep.

In the past month, Qi Cheng did not expect Brother Qingye to not appear in Ruanhan Palace once. He could not say what he felt in his heart.

In the past month, Ke Ruan’s face was rosy, but Si Yuhan had lost a lot of weight, and he was unshaven and haggard. This was the first time Qi Cheng saw such a Si Yuhan.

Qi Cheng sighed. He had been persuading Si Yuhan many times in this period of time, but Si Yuhan didn’t listen to him. ‘When will it end?’

“Your Majesty, you…”

Si Yuhan raised his hand and let Qi Cheng close his mouth. He carefully held Ke Ruan’s hand and put all his attention on him, then he saw a slight movement.

Qi Cheng also noticed it, so he quietly left, leaving only Ke Ruan and Si Yuhan in the bedchamber.

Si Yuhan saw Ke Ruan’s long eyelashes trembled after Ke Ruan had been lying on the bed for more than a month, then Ke Ruan slowly opened his eyes.

Si Yuhan held his breath because he was afraid that this was just a dream.

However, the moment Ke Ruan opened his eyes and saw Si Yuhan, his clear eyes were filled with horror and he immediately rolled towards the corner.

Si Yuhan was shocked. “Ke Ruan, don’t scare me, what’s wrong?”

Ke Ruan hugged his knees with his hands, without saying a word, buried himself between his knees and arms, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

His gesture was like treating a venomous snake or wild beast.

Si Yuhan said softly, “Ke Ruan, it’s me. I’m Little Han, your husband.”

Suddenly, Ke Ruan clutched his head and shouted as if he was enduring great pain.

“Ah… Ah…”

Si Yuhan hurriedly held him in his arms, “Don’t scare me. Where do you hurt? Tell me, Ke Ruan, where do you hurt?”

Perhaps it had been a long time since Ke Ruan spoke, his scream sounded particularly hoarse, “Get away, get away…”

Si Yuhan hugged him tighter, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here, don’t be afraid.”

The person in his arms gradually calmed down. Si Yuhan looked down at Ke Ruan and met his moist eyes, his heart was extremely painful.

Ke Ruan’s voice was hoarse and he reached out to grab Si Yuhan’s clothes. “Little Han, I had a nightmare. It’s terrible.”

Si Yuhan hugged him tightly, trying to dispel the fear in his heart. “It’s fine. I’m here, nothing will happen.”

Ke Ruan buried himself in Si Yuhan’s chest and his voice was colder than before. “I dreamed that you killed me, skinned me alive. It was so painful. In my dream, I feel like I’m dying from pain, but you’re still laughing happily.”

Si Yuhan’s hand stiffened. He indeed did this to the original Ke Ruan. Skinned him alive, ground his bones into ashes, he even personally supervised them when they did these things, because his hatred for that person was strong.

“I won’t do that. It’s a nightmare.”

Si Yuhan hugged the person who was frightened in his arms tightly. ‘So all this time he has always been in a nightmare?’ He could imagine that kind of pain.

The person he usually couldn’t even let him get hurt a little bit met that horrible Si Yuhan in his dream and that horrible Si Yuhan did those things to him. No wonder when he woke up and saw him, he looked as if he had seen a demon.

“Really?” Ke Ruan looked up at him. When he met Si Yuhan’s worried and tender eyes, his horror dissipated slightly, but there was an unknown meaning.

Si Yuhan leaned over and kissed his forehead. “That’s a dream. I love you so much, how can I treat you like that?”

Ke Ruan suddenly smiled. Then he reached out and hugged Si Yuhan’s neck. Ke Ruan had been spoiled by Si Yuhan and was originally a member of the royal family, so he never did anything with his fingers, and his arms were shining like jade.

‘Slender fingers, fair skin, this person is taken care of especially well.’ A trace of darkness flashed in Ke Ruan’s eyes.

He hadn’t seen such bright white skin in a long time, and in that place, all he could see was black.

“Little Han, I miss you so much.”

Si Yuhan laughed softly, “I miss you too.”

Ke Ruan slid his hand towards the back of Si Yuhan’s neck. His fingers touched his Adam’s apple again and again. Then, when he felt that Si Yuhan’s Adam’s apple was rolling up and down, his smile grew bigger.

Ke Ruan put his hand on Si Yuhan’s chest and moved his fingers. Then Si Yuhan held his hand and his low voice was hoarse, “Don’t, don’t continue. You just woke up, you haven’t recovered yet.”

Ke Ruan’s expression froze, then he smiled softly and said with somewhat complaining voice, “You are even more haggard than me. You need to have a rest.”

Si Yuhan nodded. “As long as I see that you’re fine, it doesn’t matter if I’m tired.”

Ke Ruan leaned closer to him and kissed his lips. “No, I will be heartbroken. By the way, you should wash up. The smell on your body is too bad. It gives me a headache.”

It was true that Si Yuhan had not taken care of himself for a long time, but in such a situation, how could he be at ease leaving Ke Ruan here?

So Si Yuhan said, “I’m fine. I’ll accompany you and rest later.”

Ke Ruan shook his head. “No, you’re too stinky. I don’t want to be near you. You’d better wash up first. I’ll wait for you.”

Si Yuhan was still worried. At this time, Qi Cheng just happened to send food in and said, “Your Majesty, you can wash up first. I’m here.”

Si Yuhan frowned and his worried gaze fell on Ke Ruan. Ke Ruan nodded at him and smiled, “Go.”

Only then did Si Yuhan get up and ordered Qi Cheng, “Keep watching.” After thinking for a while, he added, “Don’t let him sleep again.”

Si Yuhan was really afraid that Ke Ruan would leave him alone.

Qi Cheng nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty!”

After Si Yuhan left the bedchamber, Qi Cheng asked the servant to put things on the table, and his attitude towards Ke Ruan was not as terrible as before. “Come over and eat something, or you will die of hunger.”

Ke Ruan narrowed his eyes, “Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that.”

Qi Cheng suddenly looked at him and the anger in his eyes appeared. Ke Ruan shrank his neck, then he felt a pain in his brows. He looked at Qi Cheng apologetically, “I’m just kidding, don’t mind.”

Qi Cheng looked at him. For some reason, he felt that the person in front of him was a little strange.

Ke Ruan snorted, “You go out first, I’ll eat by myself.”

Qi Cheng’s tone was not as good as before. “Ke Ruan, don’t think about other things. His Majesty wants me to keep watch, don’t paly smart.”

Ke Ruan gripped the quilt tightly and a hint of ruthlessness darted across his eyes.

“I will eat. Don’t be angry,” Ke Ruan took the initiative to surrender. It made Qi Cheng be shocked. Then he somewhat blankly watched as Ke Ruan sat down on the stool to eat.

‘Strange, it is really strange.’

Qi Cheng shook his head, trying to drive the strange thoughts out of his head. During the meal time, Ke Ruan was quiet, so Qi Cheng slowly got relaxed.

Suddenly, “clang,” there was a loud sound, accompanied by Ke Ruan’s screams.

“Ke Ruan!” Si Yuhan rushed in and immediately picked up Ke Ruan who was kneeling on the ground. Then he shouted at Qi Cheng, “Quickly call the doctor in.”

Qi Cheng nodded and hurriedly let the doctor in. Ke Ruan’s palm was cut by the edge of the broken bowl, and it was indeed a bit shocking and terrifying.

The doctor bandaged Ke Ruan’s wound, then Si Yuhan let him leave. Si Yuhan looked at his wrapped hand sadly, “I just left for a while and you got injured.”

Ke Ruan originally lowered his head, but after Si Yuhan finished speaking, he gave Qi Cheng a quick glance. Then he quickly lowered his head. His movement is very fast, but Qi Cheng and Si Yuhan both saw it.

Qi Cheng was confused. ‘What does Ke Ruan mean, why did he look at me?’ Before Qi Cheng could ask, Si Yuhan stood up and rubbed Ke Ruan’s hair, then said, “I’m going out.”

Ke Ruan nodded obediently.

“Qi Cheng, come out with me.”

In the past few days, Qi Cheng had seen it clearly. Ke Ruan clearly wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge. ‘How could he be so easily bullied before? It turns out that he had bad intentions.’

Si Yuhan protected Ke Ruan like this. Qi Cheng had no method, but he decided to not face Ke Ruan.

Because Si Yuhan was afraid that Ke Ruan would have any unexpected situations, they stayed in the palace.

“Little Han, I’m a little uncomfortable,” Ke Ruan in his arms rubbed him hard.

Si Yuhan immediately got up and asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”

Ke Ruan hugged him, “Little Han, I…”

Si Yuhan held his hand and said, “Are you still not feeling well?”

Under the dim candlelight, Ke Ruan’s eyes were sometimes bright and sometimes dark, “Little Han, I’m fine.”

Si Yuhan hugged him tightly. “Good boy, don’t be like this.”

Ke Ruan had no way to deal with such a firm Si Yuhan. He gritted his teeth and remembered that Si Yuhan was obviously not like this.

He looked sideways at Si Yuhan, who was still gentle. It seemed that he was overthinking, Si Yuhan was indeed worried about him.

Ke Ruan fell asleep. The moment he fell asleep, Si Yuhan by his side suddenly opened his eyes. He could see Ke Ruan’s face clearly with the moonlight through the window.

Si Yuhan’s determined gaze seemed to be somewhat restrained, and there was a hint of hatred and murderous intent running out.

However, when Si Yuhan saw that gentle face, there was only compromise on his face.

In Qi Cheng’s eyes, if Ke Ruan wanted to take revenge at first, it would be enough for him to suspect this person.

Although he used to hate Ke Ruan, the current Ke Ruan made him think of killing him again even more.

“Your Majesty, Ke Ruan has been very strange since he woke up.”

“Shut up!”

Qi Cheng hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, you should notice it. The Ke Ruan is like…”

Before Qi Cheng could finish his words, Ke Ruan’s cold voice came from outside the door, “Like me before?”

Si Yuhan’s expression changed. He wasn’t afraid of this Ke Ruan. He was afraid that Ke Ruan he loved wouldn’t come back.

Qi Cheng’s gaze was alert, “It really is you.”

Ke Ruan sneered and walked towards Si Yuhan step by step. He reached out and touched his cheek, “Looks like you’ve already noticed it.”

Qi Cheng reached out to catch Ke Ruan and Si Yuhan blocked him.

“Your Majesty, he’s not that Ke Ruan,” Qi Cheng’s eyes were red and with murderous intent.

Ke Ruan laughed wildly and leaned into Si Yuhan’s arms even more recklessly. “Didn’t you realize that this man doesn’t dare to hurt me?”

He raised his head and said with disgust, “Si Yuhan, Si Yuhan, you were so disgusting in the past, I really didn’t expect that now you are even more disgusting. Are you leering at this body?”

“What’s good about that person? He’s just as disgusting as you. He actually likes you.”

The moment he finished speaking, Si Yuhan suddenly pinched his neck and leaned over to his ear. It was like a lover’s whisper but it was full of coldness, like a poisonous snake crawling all over his body.

“The feeling of skinning you alive is not good, right? In a new life, do you know how much I want to meet you again? I always felt that what I did to you in my past life was too light. I thought of some good tricks. Do you want to try them?’

This Ke Ruan was scared, “You won’t. You like this person who came to my body, you won’t hurt my body.”

Obviously, this Ke Ruan didn’t expect that Si Yuhan would be reborn.

Si Yuhan sneered and his eyes were cold and terrifying as if he was a ghost and just crawled out of hell.

His clenched him and gradually increased strength, so this Ke Ruan instantly became scared. His reckless actions during this period of time were only because of Si Yuhan’s preference for him in his memory.

“What do you think I should do with you this time? I just heard of a kind of punishment. Drip torture, do you know? Or just like before, skin you alive and before the wound has healed, sprinkle some salt.”

Si Yuhan’s every sentence made Ke Ruan’s body trembled violently.

He had seen how terrifying Si Yuhan was. In those days, he was worse than dead. The world was black and breathless. The only pair of eyes he could see were scarlet.

His scarlet eyes were filled with killing intent for him.

He never wanted to recall the days he was imprisoned by Si Yuhan. The pain wasn’t just physical but also mental.

At first, he had hope that someone would come to save him, but as long as Si Yuhan saw that he had a little bit of hope, he would beat him to death and let the light in his eyes gradually disappear. In the end, he was like a dead dog, breathing heavily.

So when he came to this world and received the memory of this body, he thought he would have a completely different future, because in his memory, he could feel how obedient Si Yuhan was to him and how deeply he loved him.

But he never imagined that Si Yuhan was reborn. It was unacceptable because the light he thought was just a deeper level of hell.

The force on his neck became heavier and heavier. This Ke Ruan’s breathing slowly quickened. “Don’t, don’t kill me.”

His eyes instantly widened, then burst into a bright light, followed by a flash of confusion.

Si Yuhan instantly released his hand, hugged Ke Ruan tightly in his arms, and his body trembled, “Good, you are back”.

The moment Ke Ruan woke up, he saw Si Yuhan looking at him with a murderous expression, and even pinching his neck. “Heh, brat, now you are like this.”

He hadn’t been able to scold him, then his consciousness fell into chaos again.
