Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

276 WHO’S OUTSIDE?

What memories made Bai Chen suffer? It was a memory that took place when he was still a naive child who didn’t know that the world was so cruel and merciless. Not everyone would give him candy even if they smiled at him, and it was possible that they would give him a needle that would prick his palm instead.

Bai Chen lost his biological parents when he was six years old. His parents died in an accident, and since he had no relatives to take care of him, he was sent to an orphanage in hopes that some kind people would adopt him and give him a new life.

Yes, orphans in an orphanage would always hope for kind people who would take them under their wing and give them new happiness. Maybe that was also Bai Chen’s simple hope when he was still living in the orphanage.

One day, a woman, who looked like a kind person who seemed like she would give him sweet candy, came to the orphanage. While smiling warmly, she said that she would take Bai Chen to her house and love that naive child as her own. She did look like a kind-hearted woman, and that was why the orphanage immediately trusted the woman to adopt Bai Chen.

Who would have thought that the woman was completely crazy? Her husband divorced her because she couldn’t bear his children, and aside from that reason, her husband also didn’t like how she could only take care of her dog every day without doing her job as a wife in their house.

The divorce turned out to be a hard slap for the woman, and that was why she finally fell into depression. Unfortunately, the woman was not aware that she had a mental problem, and that was why she didn’t come to the doctor. Instead, she had come to the orphanage to adopt an unlucky child named Bai Chen, and that child was where she vented her anger after she was abandoned by her husband.

The woman raised quite a several dogs, and Bai Chen eventually became one of the dogs that were raised by her. Yes, instead of raising Bai Chen as her son, the woman raised the innocent boy as one of her dogs, and the boy even had to live with the dogs and eat dog food for two years.

It took outsiders a year to find out what the woman did to the innocent boy, and Bai Chen was rescued by the police as well as the doctors at that time. However, two years was not a short time, and that was why Bai Chen changed so much because of that incident.

How he cared so much about cleanliness and also hated dirty places was caused by the bitter experience he had while living with that crazy woman. He literally spent 24/7 with the dogs, and he slept in dog poop and pee every single day. Such an environment affected his mentality, and even if the doctors tried to help him return to his normal state, the trauma was still there even if it wasn’t that bad now.

.....

Memories of that mad woman were the thing that kept haunting him, and even after he transmigrated into this world, they remained in his head. That was why it was also the memory that immediately appeared in his mind when the Flute Demon used her spell on him.

It had actually been a long time since he clearly recalled that bitter memory, but the demon’s spell was powerful, and that was why everything was so clear when he was forced to recall the memory once again.

That was the reason why Bai Chen was crying when he was under the demon’s spell, and his miserable expression even caught Wu Jinhai’s attention and the man chose to question him right after they were done with their hot activity.

Now, Bai Chen didn’t know how to answer the man’s question. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to share his burdens with his lover, but he just didn’t know how to tell the story when it happened in his past life. If he were to talk about what happened in his previous life, Wu Jinhai would probably feel suspicious of him, right?

Bai Chen knew about that, and that was why he was confused at this moment. And he even gasped in shock when Wu Jinhai suddenly landed his lips on his temple. When he glanced to his side, he could see that Wu Jinhai had lifted his head from the pillow and was now looking at him with concern.

“Are you all right, wife?” Wu Jinhai softly whispered, and his eyes were still filled with worry. “I can feel your heartbeat increase after I ask the question. Is it too hard for you to tell your bitter memories?”

Bai Chen ignored how Wu Jinhai had once again called him his wife, and he was now more focused on Wu Jinhai’s hand that was now on his chest instead of his stomach. Earlier Wu Jinhai was hugging his stomach, and he didn’t even notice when the hand moved toward his chest.

It was no wonder that Wu Jinhai could feel the difference in his heartbeat, and Bai Chen smiled slightly before moving his hand towards Wu Jinhai’s hand that was still on his chest. Gently, he squeezed the larger hand that was still on his chest.

“It’s just a memory that happened during my childhood,” Bai Chen finally replied, and it wasn’t actually a lie. “It happened years ago, and I don’t want to think about it anymore. That’s why I don’t think you should know about it. It doesn’t matter to me anymore.”

Bai Chen certainly didn’t plan to lie, and that was why he could only vaguely say things that bothered him. Wu Jinhai was still staring at him even after he answered the man’s question, and it was clear in Bai Chen’s eyes that the man didn’t look satisfied with his answer.

It looked like Wu Jinhai was about to inquire further, but then the black-haired man suddenly had a look of vigilance on his face as he suddenly turned his head towards the door. “Who’s outside?” He asked darkly, and the question wasn’t directed at Bai Chen this time.

Instead, Wu Jinhai looked like he was asking someone outside, and Bai Chen’s heart pounded.

Someone was outside the room? Who was it? Were they enemies?
