Chapter 1839: After Raising Guabao, I Faked My Death 33

Click.

A faint, tiny door-opening sound came.

Wen Si Luo, barefoot like a cat, walked in lightly, appearing within Jin Chen's field of view.

The oversized black shirt was one Jin Chen had worn; besides that, the only thing covering his body was the bandage wrapped around his arm.

He was already thin, and even this shirt looked loose on him, revealing his collarbones, shoulders, and neck.

Jin Chen's breathing suddenly deepened considerably, his eyes somewhat hoarse, "Guabao."

"Brother, you're awake."

Wen Si Luo's voice was again soft and gentle, the corners of his lips curved into a sweet smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.

He placed his knee over the blanket, pressing it against Jin Chen's leg, using the leverage to flip onto the bed, light and agile.

Wen Si Luo braced his hand on Jin Chen's shoulder, the icy-cold palm wrapped in bandages trembling slightly as he slowly covered Jin Chen's throat.

"Brother, here… do you like it?"

Wen Si Luo still smiled, lightly rubbing Jin Chen's cheek, feeling the ever-faster pulse throbbing in his palm.

He thought Jin Chen, upon waking, would question him, would get angry; Wen Si Luo looked at him somewhat timidly, but had already prepared a response in his heart.

It would just be a little sadness, but compared to constantly worrying about Brother's departure, this sorrow would soon disappear.

But Wen Si Luo heard Jin Chen's low, hoarse voice by his ear: "Guabao, let me hug you."

Jin Chen moved his wrist, the chain made a clattering sound; the first attempt didn't break free, so he simply gave up, just lowering his head to rub against Wen Si Luo's hair.

Wen Si Luo's nose tingled, some moisture welled in his dark eyes; he threw off the blanket and threw himself into Jin Chen's embrace, pressing against his shoulder.

In this fitting embrace, Jin Chen clearly felt the warmth within Wen Si Luo's thin shirt.

"Everything you left me is gone."

Wen Si Luo whispered softly, his gaze at the wall unfocused; at a moment it seemed to re-live the loneliness of these five years: "I watched them disappear, watched more and more people forget you, the traces of your existence growing ever fewer."

"In the end, only I… and those who watched you disappear that day still remember you."

Jin Chen's Adam's apple rolled, his heart aching surged; he could only repeatedly kiss and whisper to the person in his arms: "Guabao, wife… sorry."

Wen Si Luo pressed his lips, gave an empty laugh, his fingertip tracing Jin Chen's chest: "But later, I saw you again."

"That's fake; I know, only when I'm drunk… or having a nightmare does that you appear, but I can't touch… I dare not touch."

Touch it once, and it's gone.

Many late nights, Wen Si Luo even couldn't tell whether this person Jin Chen was real or just his imagination.

"I will disappear because I don't belong to the time ten years ago."

Jin Chen hoarsely stated the reason, enough for his smart wife to understand: "I belong to this time, so I couldn't meet you in those five years."

"No."

After listening, Wen Si Luo fell silent for a while, lifted his head while lying on Jin Chen's chest, stubbornly whispered: "You don't belong here either."

His trembling fingertip lightly pressed Jin Chen's thin lips, his reddened eyes growing more moist, even saying this sentence was difficult.

"I investigated Xigemeng's background, brother, you're not him, you… don't belong here."

At this moment, thunder rumbled outside the window.

Jin Chen silently gazed at Wen Si Luo, then lightly kissed the side of his lips, kissing his beloved amidst the noisy thunder.

"I love you."

Jin Chen's low voice still hoarse, the endearments whispered near the ear were most confusing to the mind: "You're here, then I belong here,"

Wen Si Luo rubbed away tears from Jin Chen's neck, kissed him again, then suddenly sat up straight, poking Jin Chen's chest.

"I'm still afraid, brother, I want to punish you."

Jin Chen raised his brows, his gaze like a torch fixed on Wen Si Luo's disheveled collar, a heat wave surged uncontrollably.

Wen Si Luo sensed something, shifted his sitting position, glared fiercely at him: "Not what you think!"

Jin Chen made an acknowledging sound, "But baby, I can't control it."

Wen Si Luo: "……"

He left Jin Chen's embrace, took out two thinner chains from under the bed, Jin Chen felt they were somewhat familiar.

Good fellow.

Isn't this the same as the one on Wen Zhu's dead pervert's leg?

The problem is serious.

Wen Si Luo knew Jin Chen had figured out its use, he hazily leaned in and gently kissed Jin Chen's lip corner as if soothing: "Brother, soon, don't blame me."

"... It's fine if you blame me, I don't want to watch you disappear again, I'll die…"

Wen Si Luo stubbornly avoided thinking deeply; the tip of the chain he played with in his hand was very thin, like a thick needle, able to easily pierce human skin, even bone.

Jin Chen clicked his tongue.

Immediately, as if giving up, he lay back, raised his head: "Come on."

Wen Si Luo instead froze a moment, helplessly rubbing the sharp tip a few times, pressing it against Jin Chen's shoulder.

In an instant, the needle tip pierced the skin, even without force blood flowed out, the bright red stabbing toward Wen Si Luo's eyes.

But it was merely a skin scratch, just that made him uncomfortable.

Wen Si Luo suddenly stopped, no matter what he dared not go further, he violently threw the chain down, it hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Wen Si Luo's breathing suddenly became rapid, his emotions completely collapsed, large tears fell.

"Brother…"

Jin Chen violently broke free of his hands' restraints, tightly embraced Wen Si Luo, continually stroking his back: "Okay, okay, Guabao, I'm fine."

"Brother doesn't blame you, don't cry."

Wen Si Luo clung to the embrace, breath and bloody smell mingled, pain made his heart go numb, he licked away the spilled blood, then mixed with tears lightly kissed.

I can't... what should I do, brother, I'm scared...

Jin Chen rubbed Wen Si Luo's trembling waist through the shirt, and after a long while, he thought of a way to make Wen Si Luo feel at ease.

Brother, I'll give you a gift so that Guabao won't be scared and disappear again, okay?

Wen Si Luo cried until there were no tears left, then Jin Chen gently brushed them away; dazed, he was lifted and sat up, burying his face in Jin Chen's shoulder, tilting his head to watch him pull two small boxes from under the pillow.

Wen Si Luo, who had tidied the bed himself, was sure that under the pillow was empty, with nothing there.

Wen Si Luo shifted uneasily, Jin Chen took his left hand, pulled it to his lips for a kiss, and finally placed a ring on it.

This ring recognizes its master by a drop of blood.

Even though he does not belong to, nor is he allowed to belong to this world, Jin Chen couldn't care less; his top priority is to put his wife at ease.

Jin Chen gently rubbed the ring finger on which Wen Si Luo had placed the ring, then had him put another on himself, explaining: "If I am far from you, it will grow hot, letting you sense where I am."

Wen Si Luo lifted his bowed head, looked up at Jin Chen, and asked, "No matter where you are?"

His voice, still soft from crying, sounded like a coo; Jin Chen smiled and said, "Yes, no matter where I am, it works."

Wen Si Luo's dark eyes trembled, finally letting in light; he touched the ring like a treasure, then painedly touched Jin Chen's wrist, which had reddened from straining against the iron chains.

After a long embrace, Wen Si Luo's emotions finally calmed.

He knelt up, found the prepared ointment, and carefully applied a layer to Jin Chen, utterly unaware that his disheveled shirt could no longer cover anything.

Jin Chen wrapped his arms around Wen Si Luo's waist and murmured, "Guabao, you don't need to apply medicine now."

Wen Si Luo looked at him doubtfully, sniffled, and self-reproached, "Brother will be in pain."

It will rub off.

Jin Chen ambiguously pressed forward, cooing, "Be good, brother will dress you nicely."

……

Brother... love me.

…

"... wrong... I'm in pain!"

…

Jin Chen!
