Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

61 CLEAN CLOTHES, CLEAN BRAIN

He was certain that the voice he heard just now belonged to Ma Qiao. Zhu Ge and Ma Qiao’s voices were very different from each other. Zhu Ge’s voice was deep, while Ma Qiao’s voice was crisp and light.

Even if he had just woken up from his sleep, Bai Chen was sure that the one who shouted while he was still on the bed was the older servant. He was very sure about it, and that was why he looked surprised when he saw Zhu Ge instead of Ma Qiao.

And the thing that surprised him the most was the man’s appearance. He remembered that yesterday he asked Zhu Ge to talk to Ma Qiao so that the older servant could prepare some clothes for him, but the man didn’t seem to care about his clothes at all.

Zhu Ge could even proudly say that he would still look handsome without good clothes, and Bai Chen thought that the man would still be wearing his dirty clothes from yesterday, but he was wrong.

Zhu Ge managed to surprise him when he suddenly appeared so neatly in a new set of clothes this morning. His clothes were still red and didn’t look expensive, but they looked clean, and there was even a nice smell to them. Not only that, but the man’s black hair also looked tidier, and Bai Chen almost forgot how to breathe when he saw the man’s new appearance.

“You asked Ma Qiao for a new set of clothes?” He questioned the man in red after regaining his composure.

He looked like a doll as he continued to stare at the taller man without blinking, but luckily, he was able to regain his sanity.

“Huh?” Instead of answering the Prince’s question, Zhu Ge chose to ask back. “Do you think your old servant would give me a red robe like this?”

Zhu Ge asked a question as he pointed at his red clothes, and Bai Chen silently agreed with the man’s words. He could only wear white clothes, and even all the servants in the palace also wore white robes. It could be said that Ma Qiao wouldn’t give Zhu Ge the bright red robes.

.....

“You didn’t get the clothes from Ma Qiao? Then, where did you get the clothes from?” Even if Bai Chen liked Zhu Ge’s new look, he was still curious about the origin of the clothes.

He couldn’t even find any color other than white in his closet, and he was a little envious when he saw that the raven-haired man could easily wear red.

“I returned to the human empire yesterday,” that was the answer that came from Zhu Ge, and Bai Chen widened his eyes in surprise.

He had just remembered that he didn’t see Zhu Ge since they were in Wenxue Pavilion yesterday, but the man didn’t inform him that he would be returning to the human empire.

“Why didn’t you tell me about that?” Feeling a little annoyed, Bai Chen asked the taller man with a frown on his forehead.

“Huh? I told lao Ma about that, and I also asked him to tell you that I would be leaving your palace to get some clothes from my house. Lao Ma didn’t tell you about that?”

Hearing how Zhu Ge asked that question in a surprised tone, Bai Chen gritted his teeth. Yesterday he asked the older servant about Zhu Ge’s whereabouts, but the servant just shrugged before saying that he didn’t know where Zhu Ge was.

Now he didn’t even know who was lying and who was telling the truth, and he glared at the taller man before saying, “Next time, if you want to leave my palace, you have to tell me directly. I won’t tolerate that kind of action next time.”

It was Bai Chen’s first time reprimanding the man in red, but the man didn’t look frightened by his scolding. Instead, the man smiled at him before leaning forward and whispering in his ear, “Are you worried about me, Your Highness?”

Bai Chen’s body shivered when he heard that sensual whisper, but he immediately raised his hand to shove Zhu Ge’s shoulder. He actually said that because he refused to believe Zhu Ge so easily, but in truth, there was indeed some worry in his heart when he didn’t know the man’s whereabouts.

‘That’s because he is my servant, and I must take responsibility if anything happens to him,’ Bai Chen said to himself as if he was denying that he was indeed worried about the man.

“I heard Ma Qiao’s voice earlier. Where is he now?” Choosing to change the subject, Bai Chen wanted to confirm that the voice he heard earlier was indeed Ma Qiao’s.

“Oh,” replied Zhu Ge. “It was lao Ma who shouted like a madman earlier, but I asked him to use his energy to prepare your bath instead of using it to scream in front of your pavilion, Your Highness.”

It was confirmed that the voice belonged to Ma Qiao, and Bai Chen heaved a sigh of relief because he had not been delusional before. However, he thought that there was something wrong with Zhu Ge’s explanation, and he immediately asked again, “You said you asked Ma Qiao to prepare a bath for me, and he did as you asked?”

That was weird. Ma Qiao usually hated Zhu Ge very much, and instead of cooperating as his servants, the two men would choose to fight each other if necessary.

Just now he heard that Zhu Ge could easily order Ma Qiao, and it was a shock to him.

“Hmm...” Zhu Ge mumbled as he brought his hand to caress his smooth chin. “I don’t know why he immediately did as I said, but it’s good that he didn’t stay here after you opened the door, Your Highness. I don’t like imagining how he could have the chance to see you in your undergarments.”

Bai Chen flinched before using his hands to hug his own body as if someone would do something bad to him. He was indeed only wearing undergarments, but he did not expect that he would see Zhu Ge when he was in that state.

“Can you clean your brain so you can stop saying something so gross?” Bai Chen once again rebuked the young servant, but the servant once again chuckled instead of feeling intimidated by the Prince.

“Oh, I forgot to ask you one thing, Your Highness,” stopping his laughter, Zhu Ge suddenly spoke again in a more serious tone. “I heard a rumor about your participation in the next Beast Hunting Event. Are the rumors true?”

Bai Chen looked surprised when he heard Zhu Ge’s question. He had almost forgotten that he also had to prepare for the event, and he didn’t even know how to prepare himself for such an event. Now when the taller man mentioned the event, he looked clueless and didn’t know how to answer the question.

“I’ve never heard of you participating in that event before,” Zhu Ge spoke again as the other man remained silent. “Why do you want to take part in that event? Don’t you know that the event is very dangerous for werewolves who can’t fight? Do you want to be killed in the event?”
