IRDFPFCIW Chapter 63

“Let’s be good friends for life!”

Wen Renyuan: ???

Wen Renyuan: !!!

“No!”

Although Wen Renyuan didn’t understand how things developed to this point, he knew he couldn’t agree at this moment. If he did, his life would be over!

His emphatic “no” changed Jiang Tang’s expression immediately. His little face fell, and his voice turned cold.

“…You don’t want to?”

Wen Renyuan: “…”

“No, no…” Wen Renyuan quickly backpedaled and frantically replayed what happened in his mind.

Naturally bringing Jiang Tang to the beautifully arranged flower sea—perfect.

Watching the meticulously planned fireworks display together—perfect.

Planning to take advantage of the atmosphere to confess right after the fireworks—he hadn’t even gotten to speak before being interrupted…

“Wait a minute, who told you I was getting engaged to Jiang Bai?” Wen Renyuan furrowed his brow and finally realized the problem.

Jiang Tang huffed, “Don’t worry about how I know, is it not true?”

“Of course not. How could I possibly get engaged to him?” Wen Renyuan hurriedly explained, “The person I like is you!”

Jiang Tang: ???

Seeing that Jiang Tang still looked confused, Wen Renyuan tossed aside the confession lines he had rehearsed countless times in his mind. He looked directly into Jiang Tang’s slightly confused eyes and spoke each word clearly.

“I like the person who can create delicious food from simple ingredients like magic. I like the person who is cute but unaware of it, who is always so thoughtful like a little adult but sometimes a bit confused, and whose eyes light up when they see mechas yet pretends to be calm.”

“I like the person named Jiang Tang.”

“Forget about Jiang Bai or Jiang Hei. There’s no way I would get engaged to someone I don’t even know.”

Wen Renyuan couldn’t help but laugh at Jiang Tang’s strange brain circuit. He didn’t know where he had heard this news. If he found out who had been gossiping in front of Jiang Tang, he would definitely make them pay.

Meanwhile, far away on the Imperial Capital Star, the “gossiping” Chen Jiesen: Achoo!

He rubbed his nose and looked at the big sun outside. Strangely, he felt a bit cold and goosebumps appeared on his arms.

Jiang Tang muttered softly, “…What do you mean little adult? I’m already an adult, okay? If you’re going to confess, just confess. Why bring up my shortcomings while confessing?”

“Wait,” Jiang Tang’s eyes widened slightly as he pointed at himself. “Did you just… confess to me?”

Although Jiang Tang said this, his tone had a hint of excitement and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, revealing his hidden happiness.

Seeing Jiang Tang’s cute expression, Wen Renyuan felt as if his heart, which had been hanging in the air, could finally settle down. It wasn’t one-sided. Thinking of this, Wen Renyuan couldn’t help but like Jiang Tang more and more. He even wished he could pull him into a tight embrace right now.

Wen Renyuan took Jiang Tang’s finger that was still pointing at him and wrapped it in his palm. He said in an incredibly doting tone, “Yes, yes, I’m confessing to you. I will only confess to you.”

“Then will you accept my confession?” Wen Renyuan’s gently shook Jiang Tang’s finger, lowering his voice like a spoiled child and a little pleading.

Wen Renyuan’s voice was already pleasant, but it became even more magnetic when lowered. Jiang Tang felt entranced and nodded, “…Alright then.”

Who could resist a muscular man acting cute!

When he saw the surprised smile on Wen Renyuan’s face, Jiang Tang’s cheeks gradually warmed up after realizing it. He huffed weakly, “I… I’m only agreeing out of pity for you, so don’t get cocky!”

And don’t think even about bullying him every day in the future!

Jiang Tang was so shy that he tried to pull his finger back, but instead Wen Renyuan pulled him into his arms.

!!!

Jiang Tang’s heart raced, as if it would leap out of his throat at any moment.

“Thanks for pitying me,” Wen Renyuan paused and spoke softly, “boyfriend.”

Wen Renyuan’s voice rang above Jiang Tang’s head. Jiang Tang didn’t need to think to know that his face must be bright red. He shyly buried his head deeper into Wen Renyuan’s arms, listening to the strong rhythm of another heart beating.

This heartbeat indicated that the other person’s feelings were not as calm as they appeared.

How could it be calm? Wen Renyuan felt as if he had just won a grand prize. The “Jiang Tang” big prize made him dizzy. This feeling even exceeded the first time he had successfully defended a border planet against the rebels.

This was really the luckiest day of his life, Wen Renyuan thought while holding Jiang Tang tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, they remained hugging each other tightly on this quiet planet, which had no one else but the two of them.

“…Can you let go of me?” Jiang Tang’s voice came from Wen Renyuan’s arms, muffled because his face was pressed against Wen Renyuan’s chest.

“Oh, okay.”

Wen Renyuan loosened his arms, and Jiang Tang poked out his head from Wen Renyuan’s embrace. His delicate face was already flushed. It was hard to tell if he was shy or just overheated. He looked like a delicious red apple.

They stared at each other, and neither of them was willing to look away first.

Then it was unclear who laughed first, but they both started laughing together.

It was just that Jiang Tang’s eyebrows were curved, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and his smile was bright and cheerful, while Wen Renyuan’s usually cold face was now smiling, and his eyes were gentle and warm.

After standing for a long time, Jiang Tang suddenly felt a bit of numbness in his legs. Just as he was about to move his ankles, his legs gave way and he stumbled backward.

“Ah─!”

Wen Renyuan quickly caught Jiang Tang, who was falling backward, but the force of it caused him to fall as well. As the two were about to hit the ground, Wen Renyuan hugged him and turned around, cushioning Jiang Tang by placing himself underneath.

Both of them fell into the grass.

Jiang Tang found himself against Wen Renyuan’s hard and slightly uncomfortable chest, while beneath Wen Renyuan was the lush grass. The unique fragrance of the green grass enveloped them both.

Jiang Tang: “…”

Wen Renyuan: “…”

The distance between them had never been so close. Their breaths mingled together, and even their heartbeats were indistinguishable.

“My legs just got weak for a moment.”

“Can I kiss you?”

They both spoke at the same time.

Jiang Tang’s eyes widened. “What… what did you just say?”

In an instant, Jiang Tang felt a dizzying whirl and their positions were reversed.

Now the soft grass was behind him.

Wen Renyuan had one arm slightly bent, propping himself up beside Jiang Tang, while the other hand cradled the back of Jiang Tang’s head, securely supporting it.

Jiang Tang looked at Wen Renyuan’s facial features, which were still flawless even after being magnified. He felt enveloped by Wen Renyuan’s breath from top to bottom. His heart raced like a startled deer.

“You, you… um!”

Before Jiang Tang could get out another word, Wen Renyuan had already leaned down and kissed him with irresistible force.

Jiang Tang’s eyes widened in shock, his eyes drifting past Wen Renyuan’s shoulder to the distant sky and the dazzling stars.

It felt as if everything was far away from him, and the only clear sensation was the warm touch on his lips.

It was Wen Renyuan kissing him.

After a long time, they both slowly returned to their senses.

Jiang Tang felt embarrassed and pushed the person on top of him, but he didn’t budge.

Wen Renyuan remained nestled against Jiang Tang’s shoulder. He rubbed Jiang Tang’s cheek with his nose. It was a familiar move that revealed a strange intimacy.

Jiang Tang: ?

As the initial confusion faded, a twinge of doubt slowly surfaced in Jiang Tang’s heart.

They were both new to romance. He felt awkward just hugging, so how come Wen Renyuan was so used to cuddling and rubbing?

Could he be a seasoned sea king[mfn]scumbag[/mfn]?!

Feeling Wen Renyuan’s body stiffen suddenly, Jiang Tang realized that he had inadvertently spoken his thoughts aloud.

Wen Renyuan: “…”

Jiang Tang looked at Wen Renyuan’s awkward expression: “…”

Could it be that he had hit the nail on the head?

“I didn’t, I’m not. Don’t think too much about it.”

Wen Renyuan denied it three times.

“…I swear by the Empire, this is really the first time I’ve liked someone, and it’s my first love.”

Jiang Tang scrutinized Wen Renyuan’s sincere expression and narrowed his eyes. “Really? I don’t believe it.”

If they were both inexperienced in love, “then how come you’re so skilled?”

Wen Renyuan was speechless.

If you ask him why he was so skilled, it was because when he was just a kitten on the barren planet, they had already cuddled and rubbed countless times!

And most of the time, it was Jiang Tang who took the initiative.

If it weren’t for his thick fur, Jiang Tang would have worn it out by now!

…But could he say this?

He couldn’t possibly say, ‘Remember that kitten you loved so much but then disappeared without a word and left you heartbroken for a long time? That was me.’

A cold sweat trickled down Wen Renyuan’s back.

Oh no, how could he forget that he was still this fluffy one!
