IRDFPFCIW Chapter 44

Previously on the deserted island, when Jiang Tang was about to be swept against the rocks by the waves, Wen Renyuan was overwhelmed with the thought of protecting Jiang Tang. In a moment of desperation, he broke through his limits and briefly regained his human form.

Now after some time of recovery and absorbing energy from natural foods, Wen Renyuan found that the injuries in his spiritual sea had nearly healed.

He could now switch between his human and beast form at will.

However, Wen Renyuan still kept his beast form in the same cub state as before. His adult form was nearly two meters tall and over three meters long giant cat. If he really appeared in front of Jiang Tang like that, he would probably call the police directly!

Even if he took hormones, he couldn’t grow that fast.

So Wen Renyuan continued to shamelessly pretend to be cute in front of Jiang Tang.

As a feline creature, his hearing was sensitive. He noticed the sounds from the bathroom gradually fading until he could no longer hear Jiang Tang’s voice.

Wen Renyuan felt a bit worried about Jiang Tang. He paced outside the bathroom for a few moments, but he was still worried. As soon as he entered the bathroom, he found Jiang Tang with his eyes closed, leaning against the bathtub and slowly sliding down.

Seeing that he was about to slip into the water, a flash of white light appeared as Wen Renyuan immediately transformed into his human form and reached out to steady Jiang Tang’s arm.

Jiang Tang seemed too tired to wake up, sinking deeper into sleep.

Feeling the softness of skin under his hand, Wen Renyuan suddenly realized that Jiang Tang was completely naked in the bathtub!

Of course, who bathes with clothes on?

Wen Renyuan’s first thought was that he was glad he had locked the bedroom door before entering, preventing anyone else from walking in and seeing Jiang Tang like this.

Then feeling as if he had been burned, he quickly averted his gaze.

As he loosened his grip on Jiang Tang’s arm, he slid down a bit more, forcing him to hold him again.

Wen Renyuan swallowed hard.

He had seen others naked before. During military training in very harsh conditions, they had to wash up quickly, often just wiping down.

He had seen other soldiers with naked upper bodies and felt no reaction. They had bodies similar to his, and some were even more muscular.

But now… it was completely different.

Wen Renyuan’s gaze drifted, and his ears turned red. He could only attribute this strange feeling to the fact that—

Jiang Tang was too white.

Like a smooth peeled boiled egg.

After getting proper nutrition, Jiang Tang had regained the body that was once frail, now tall and well-proportioned with just the right amount of soft flesh.

Perhaps due to the fusion of Jiang Tang, this body was increasingly resembling the one in his previous life, with skin so white that it reflected light.

With his head slightly lowered while sleeping, Jiang Tang’s slender neck formed a beautiful arc, his back delicate, and his collarbones were stunning. Looking lower, they were delicate and small, and even the color was pink… pink!

Wen Renyuan couldn’t bear to look any longer. After a mental struggle, he sighed, grabbed a nearby towel, held Jiang Tang horizontally, and wrapped him in it.

Jiang Tang lay in Wen Renyuan’s arms like a well-behaved doll, completely enveloped in the soft towel, with only his charming little face exposed.

His very long eyelashes cast shadows on his delicate face in the light.

So obedient, Wen Renyuan thought.

Suddenly falling into a warm embrace, Jiang Tang felt a sense of familiarity. Seeking comfort, he rubbed against him, then buried his face deeper into his hold like an animal cub.

It was as if the whole person was trying to drill into Wen Renyuan’s arms.

Wen Renyuan’s body stiffened, his eyes deepening.

The situation was dire last time. He had shielded Jiang Tang from the impact of the rocks with his back. Now in the steamy bathroom, and without the threat of a storm, only the gentle steam surrounded them. Holding him now naturally brought forth some charming thoughts.

His beloved was nuzzling against him intimately, unaware of the turbulent feelings within him.

Time passed, and Wen Renyuan sighed again. He was worried that Jiang Tang might get cold, so he turned around and carried him out of the bathroom.

Wen Renyuan had never cared for anyone this meticulously but it felt natural. He patiently dried him off, changed him into clean pajamas, and even carefully dried and smoothed his hair.

Jiang Tang’s bed was very soft. As soon as he lay down, he sank into it.

As he left the warmth of his embrace, his delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, murmuring softly before falling back into a deep sleep.

Wen Renyuan covered him with a blanket, and Jiang Tang’s face appeared even smaller.

He quietly stood there, watching Jiang Tang as he drifted into a sweet dream, tracing his peaceful features with his gaze.

From thick eyelashes to small nose, his eyes finally rested on the rosy lips.

Perhaps due to soaking in the water too long, the lips looked even more luscious than usual.

Wen Renyuan felt a heat rising in his body. He stared at the pair of bright red lips, feeling almost bewitched as he leaned closer.

Just as his high nose bridge was about to touch Jiang Tang’s, and their breaths intertwined, he finally stopped himself.

It wasn’t the right time.

The excellent upbringing formed by receiving royal education since childhood clashed with the urge he felt for his beloved. Wen Renyuan’s strong willpower made him stop.

He didn’t want to take their first kiss while he was still asleep, but he couldn’t help but gently brush his fingers against his lips.

Wen Renyuan got up and left Jiang Tang’s bedroom.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw a tall figure standing in the shadows of the hallway.

Lin Yucang leaned lightly against the wall, seemingly having been there for a while. His handsome face was half-hidden in darkness, making it hard to read his expression.

Wen Renyuan raised his eyes and locked eyes with Lin Yucang.

“…Let’s talk?” Lin Yucang stood up straight and took the initiative to invite Wen Renyuan.

Wen Renyuan remained silent, walking past Lin Yucang toward the balcony at the end of the hallway.

Lin Yucang shrugged and followed with his long legs.

“I have to say, Marshal, it was one thing to enter the little streamer’s room, but why was the door locked? That’s not very kind, right?”

“…Just a habit.”

Seeing Wen Renyuan like this, even the ever-smiling Lin Yucang couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

“Since the Marshal can now switch freely between human and beast form, I assume your injuries are mostly healed? I wonder when you plan to return. Is the military really this idle?”

Wen Renyuan’s tone turned harsh after hearing this. “You don’t need to worry about military affairs. But I see you’re no longer suffering from eating disorder. It’s not right for the big actor to remain stuck on this barren planet, is it?”

“Well, I must thank the Marshal for his concern about my work.”

The little thoughts they usually hid were finally laid bare.

Despite the surrounding silence, sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Lin Yucang wiped the smile off his face. “Let’s be straightforward. The little streamer is great. We’ll compete fairly based on our own abilities.”

He assessed Wen Renyuan and spoke slowly, “How about that?”

Wen Renyuan: …Not very good.

Wen Renyuan frowned, his expression darkening.

He knew that various people would be eyeing his little streamer.

The little streamer was so wonderful. Thinking about how gentle he was with him made Wen Renyuan’s expression soften a little. But suddenly, a realization hit him and his expression froze.

Lin Yucang seemed to have the same thought, and they exchanged an awkward glance.

Jiang Tang’s kindness toward them was based on the premise that they were fluffy creatures!

Although they would never admit it, they understood that Jiang Tang really regarded them as his own cubs.

…This was indeed awkward.

How could they make Jiang Tang accept that the fluffy cubs he cared for were actually two adult men with improper thoughts towards him?

They might end up being packed up and thrown out of the barren planet by Jiang Tang if he ever found out!

Wen Renyuan fell into deep thought.

Before he could devise a strategy, it would be more cautious for him to wait and see.

But Wen Renyuan never expected that while he was still thinking about strategy, the farewell would come so abruptly.
