Chapter 57: Saved

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Si Yuhan couldn’t fall asleep. It was late, he could hear Ke Ruan muttering in his sleep. He frowned, getting away from his embrace. He put his ear closer to Ke Ruan’s mouth so he could hear what he was mumbling about. Hearing “Han” was enough to make him feel shocked. Before the shock fade away, a warm breath brought him back to reality.

He hurriedly got up and put his hand on Ke Ruan’s forehead. It was hot. In the darkness, he couldn’t see Ke Ruan’s face clearly, but what this man had did for these few days was playing around and around in his head.

After a while, he stood up. He compromised, finally. He put his fingers on Ke Ruan’s collar and pressed his lips on Ke Ruan’s. The rims of his eyes were red. He clenched his teeth and said, “Ke Ruan, remember, I only give you on chance. If you treat me like what you did in the last life, I would definitely kill you. I will. Even if I would die for this. I’ll make sure that you die with me. Keep that in mind.”

He then let go of Ke Ruan. A smile of relief appeared on his lips. Maybe, just maybe, god realized that he was a little cruel on me in the last life, so he made Ke Ruan a better man this life so that Ke Ruan could be the one who stayed with him, cared about him and loved him, that Ke Ruan could do everything for him, even die for him, again and again. Maybe, just maybe.

He kissed Ke Ruan’s forehead and said, “You are so silly. You’re beyond cure.”

Then he disappeared from where he was.

Ke Ruan felt that it was very loud and noisy. People were talking on and on. For a moment, he could feel that he was hot like fire, but then suddenly, something cool and nice was pressed on his lips. He subconsciously licked his lips, suddenly they became hot again, hotter than his body.

“Young master, young master…”

Ke Ruan struggled to open his eyes, and then he saw Lin Qingye’s anxious facial expression. For so long, General Lin was either ignoring him or being angry at him. Now he was suddenly being so nice to him like a miracle.

Ke Ruan moved his body, trying to sit up. Lin Qingye hurridly grabbed his shoulder to help him.

He couldn’t help coughing a little. He was trying to say something, but his throat was killing him, he couldn’t make a sound at all.

“Don’t worry. Have a cup of tea first.” After confirming that Ke Ruan could sit on his own, Lin Qingye stood up and walked towards the nearby table and poured a cup of tea, then brought it to Ke Ruan, put it near his lips.

Ke Ruan drank the tea like he hadn’t had it for a hundred years. After several cups, the thirst finally went away.

“Where’s Xiao Han? Where is he?” As soon as he could speak, Ke Ruan couldn’t wait to hear Si Yuhan’s news. “General Lin, what happened? Tell me. Where is he?”

Lin Qingye frowned and looked at Ke Ruan who was really anxious right now. There was a hint of disagreement in his eyes. If it were not for Si Yuhan, Ke Ruan would have been fine. Besides, Lin Qingye thought highly of Si Yuhan before for some reasons he couldn’t even figure out. Maybe it was because no matter what Ke Ruan had done to him, he remained strong and proud.

However, since Ke Ruan had changed, there was something wrong with Si Yuhan, which made him very uneasy.

“Don’t worry, young master. Master Han is resting in another room. There’s nothing serious. He is just a little weak, that’s all. However, it’s you who I’m worried about. You could have…” Lin Qingye stopped right there. Ke Ruan was a doctor himself, he knew this clearly more than anybody else.

“Oh, my foot!”

To be honest, he could endure a serious illness or something, but in this ancient times when medical technology was so not well-developed, if he lost his feet, without an artificial one, it basically meant he was useless.

Lin Qingye said, “Don’t worry, Young Master. They’re fine.”

Ke Ruan let out a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good, that’s good… I want to go see little Han.”
