Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

259 WILL YOU LEAVE ME?

“...”

Was Bai Chen’s question too difficult for Wu Jinhai? Why didn’t the man in red give an answer right away?

And what disappointed Bai Chen even more was when the black-haired man chose to look away from him instead of giving an immediate answer.

“I’m sorry.”

In the end, instead of receiving an answer, Bai Chen got an apology, but did he need an apology more than an explanation? No. Bai Chen didn’t care about the man’s apology at all. He just needed to hear an explanation from the taller man, and that was why he was unhappy upon hearing the apology.

However, even if no explanation left Wu Jinhai’s lips, it seemed that his question was indirectly answered by an apology. If the man uttered an apology, then that meant he felt guilty, right? And why did he feel guilty? Surely the man knew that how he would answer Bai Chen’s question would only disappoint the Werewolf Prince, and that was why he chose to directly apologize instead of explaining.

With a heavy sigh, Bai Chen said, “So, your priority is still gathering more information about the Immortal Elder even if you keep saying that you feel bad for stealing my Power Crystal, right?”

Of course, it was only Bai Chen’s sarcastic question because Wu Jinhai had absolutely no intention of stealing his Power Crystal many years ago. It was little Bai Chen who accidentally gave away his precious crystal, and it was not Wu Jinhai’s fault that he ended up receiving the crystal all those years ago.

Hearing Bai Chen’s question, Wu Jinhai finally turned to look at the brown-haired man again. “I have no choice,” he whispered as his brown eyes continued to stare at the pair of blue eyes. “My father’s position in Wu Li was suppressed by the opposing faction, and that’s why I wanted to get rid of the poison in my body immediately. That’s the only way I have because I have to go back to being a normal human before I can usurp the title of Crown Prince and protect my father’s throne. I admit that I’m too greedy, but I truly have no choice.”

.....

Wu Jinhai had no choice? It sounded pitiful, but Bai Chen didn’t waver right away just because the man in red did look pathetic when he finally explained his true purpose.

“But I still want to return the crystal to you, Bai Chen!” Wu Jinhai spoke again when he got no response from the man in white, and he even stopped calling the man by his nickname as if to show that he was in his serious mode now. “In my eyes, you are my hero, and that’s why I want to return the thing that belongs to you. But then things happened, and not all of my plans went smoothly. I didn’t even plan to fall in love with you, but I ended up falling in love with you!”

Suddenly, Wu Jinhai sounded frustrated, but Bai Chen remained silent as he watched how the taller man tried to explain everything to him. From the man’s explanation, Bai Chen could see that Wu Jinhai’s two purposes in approaching him contradicted each other.

One of the purposes was the man’s selfish goal because he only wanted to take advantage of Bai Chen so he could gather more information about the Immortal Elder. Meanwhile, his other goal sounded very noble as the man only wanted to return the thing that didn’t belong to him, but Bai Chen was still not satisfied that the man had hidden everything from him since the beginning.

“Have you ever imagined if you came honestly to me while handing the Power Crystal to me? You just need to explain to me that you are the child I saved in the river when I was little, and since you wanted to return the Power Crystal to me, I might be willing to do something to repay your kindness, right?” Finally, a reply came from Bai Chen, and the man in red looked dumbfounded after hearing it.

At this moment, Bai Chen tried to imagine if Wu Jinhai had been honest with him from the start. Sure enough, he would feel confused because he still knew nothing about this world at that time, but if Wu Jinhai carefully explained about the Power Crystal, he somehow assumed that he would believe the man who kindly returned the precious crystal to him.

After all, it was human nature even if he wasn’t fully human now. If someone was nice to him, then he would repay their kindness, and that was why Bai Chen thought that he would also repay Wu Jinhai’s kindness if the man had been honest with him from the start.

If Wu Jinhai wanted to gather more information about the Immortal Elder from the start, then Bai Chen would definitely help him if he knew the real situation. At least, that was how Bai Chen thought of the situation, but maybe Wu Jinhai’s thoughts weren’t that simple, right?

When Bai Chen felt his head becoming heavy from the thoughts that were going through his head, he suddenly felt another weight pressing down on his shoulder, and when he turned his gaze to his right shoulder, he could see that it was Wu Jinhai who rested his head on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Bai Chen thought of how Wu Jinhai had just confessed his feelings to him. Wu Jinhai said that falling in love with him wasn’t his plan, and Bai Chen could somehow guess that the man must be feeling troubled when he just realized his feelings.

And the weight on Bai Chen’s head finally eased a bit when he thought about that, and he sighed once more before placing the right side of his head on top of Wu Jinhai’s head which was still leaning on his shoulder.

“Now that you have returned the Power Crystal to me and have found more information about the Immortal Elder, what are you planning to do, Wu Jinhai? Will you leave me after this?”
