Never Marry a Man With Two Tintins

Chapter 75

No matter how much Cheng Nuo struggled, Bai Rui’s situation was getting better day by day. Not only did he spend more time awake, but he was also less and less beast-like. At that time, Bai Rui would always unblinkingly look at him with eyes full of adoration, stroking and kissing him. Cheng Nuo looked at this Bai Rui, who looked more and more like Bai Rui, and he couldn’t bear it anymore!

In the morning, when Bai Rui held him expectantly and waited for that, Cheng Nuo ruthlessly pushed him aside, gritted his teeth and said, “You can do it yourself.”

He ran outside the cave and waited for a long time with a flushed face before entering. As a result, Bai Rui remained motionless in that posture, and when he heard his movements, he looked over slightly aggrieved. Cheng Nuo really was defeated by him. Bai Rui’s IQ was still at the level of a toddler, right?

Cheng Nuo had to help him do it again, but his body was fair away, not allowing Bai Rui to hold him. He was not Liu Xiahui*, who could have someone sit on him without chaos…

(* TN: a politician famous for his virtue. Quote taken directly from Wikipedia: […] is said on one occasion to have held a lady in his lap without the slightest imputation on his moral character.)

Several kinds of fruits that were fermented successfully. Cheng Nuo picked them out like treasures, filtered them with a cloth, and resealed them for fermentation.

He was now similar to a mountain top caveman. In addition to the unholy exercises every morning and the chats with Tao Mo, he spent the rest of the time looking for food carrying the unconscious Bai Rui on his back.

When small and medium-sized beasts saw Bai Rui in the form of a half-beast, they would only shrink to the ground and stay motionless. Cheng Nuo was not short of meat. He wandered around again and found several edible wild vegetables and fruits, but still did not find salt. Cheng Nuo was really worried that if he went on like this, his hair would also turn white.

While chatting with Tao Mo, Cheng Nuo did not unearth any useful information. Tao Mo never said where he came from, nor why he was sealed here. Cheng Nuo couldn’t help being disappointed. It seemed that he really didn’t know how to get out of here. Tao Mo could only move on that altar, and no living thing could enter that transparent space.

Cheng Nuo already regarded him as a future master, so he flatteringly taught him to play the simplest game of wuziqi* to relieve boredom, and the two of them fought each other far apart. As a result, after three games with Tao Mo, he only lost and did not win.

(* TN: had to look this up… the game here is 五子棋 wǔzǐqí or gomoku¸ and it’s a strategy board game of Japanese origin. I wasn’t sure if I should use the Chinese name or Japanese name but I settled for the pinyin of the cn name. According to Wikipedia, this game is also known as gobang and ‘five in a row’.)

Tao Mo scolded him dimly: “Stupid, stupid! That little lover of yours is going to wake up soon, right? Don’t let him be as stupid as you are! When the time comes, let him come and keep me company.”

But despite saying this, Tao Mo was still satisfied with his effort to please him, and lazily taught him how to manipulate energy to make oxygen. Cheng Nuo practiced according to his method, and he was soon to be able to breathe underwater, no longer having to hold that silly big oxygen bubble.

Cheng Nuo tasted the sweetness, and immediately found some marble to prepare for a xiangqi* set after going out. Xiangqi was much more complicated than wuziqi. Although he was also an amateur, he would not be immediately defeated by Tao Mo, right?

He was afraid that he would disturb Bai Rui, so he squatted at the entrance of the cave and concentrated on grinding the stones into similar sized round cakes. As he was grinding vigorously, he heard Bai Rui let out a slight groan. Fearing that something would happen to Bai Rui again, he quickly put down the stone in his hand and walked over.

Bai Rui’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if waking up from a dream, and he slowly opened his pair of clear and bright golden eyes. When he saw Cheng Nuo, his confused eyes became clear in an instant.

Cheng Nuo looked at his ears and cheeks dumbfounded and quickly hung his head, his heart apprehensive.

Completely recovered …… troublesome ah. In the end, did Bai Rui have those memories?

“Cheng Nuo,” Bai Rui lay there looking at him unblinkingly and whispered, “You’ve worked hard.”

His tone of voice was still as indifferent and calm as usual. Cheng Nuo lowered his head, his head in a daze, and he didn’t recover until a cool hand gently stroked his face a few times.

He hurriedly moved back to avoid it, pretending to be natural: “No, it’s just that we stranded here now, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out for the time being.”

Being avoided by him, Bai Rui didn’t have a lost expression, but quickly sat up, and the thin quilt fell down his chest, revealing broad pectoral muscles and a solid and flat lower abdomen.

Cheng Nuo quickly noticed and hurriedly stammered to explain: “Because there were not many clothes, you …… that time, you were easily excited, always tearing the clothes to pieces… I’ll get you some…”

He flipped out the storage bag in a panic, took out a new set and handed it over, but Bai Rui didn’t pick it up, but took advantage of the situation to grab his wrist and pull him over.

His chin slammed into Bai Rui’s bare chest. Cheng Nuo was dumbfounded for a moment. Bai Rui’s hand was tightly wrapped around him, and he couldn’t see Bai Rui’s face at all.

“I remember… all of it,” Bai Rui whispered, “all of it.”

“…” Cheng Nuo stiffened, his heart already in tears, and he couldn’t wait to dig a hole and bury himself!

Young man, it’s not good to remember those things! It’s really better to forget it!

“When we first fell in, you cried for me and said that you liked me too.” Bai Rui’s voice was very calm, and he hugged him tightly and said slowly, “You also said that you were jealous and that, except for you, I cannot not touch others.”

Unexpectedly, Bai Rui said this. Cheng Nuo was startled, and the memory of that day emerged again.

Bai Rui used his body to block for him, and his body was pierced by several sharp blades.

At that time, he was so extremely desperate, thinking that they were both going to die, so he incoherently said things that could never be said…

But now…

His hands trembled slightly and tried to push Bai Rui away.

Bai Rui seemed to sense his resistance and slowly let go, his hands still wrapped around his back.

Cheng Nuo’s lips trembled a few times, but he didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want to hurt Bai Rui’s heart at all… He said with difficulty, “I promised Liu Guang…”

“I know.”

Bai Rui interrupted him, and with a force of his hands, their noses almost touched each other. He leaned close to Cheng Nuo whispered, “I also said, if you come back, I won’t be able to bear to let you go – you also won’t be able bear let go of me either, I know.”

What he said was so certain, Cheng Nuo couldn’t refute it at all. His mind was a mess. His lips suddenly softened; Bai Rui’s lips had gently pressed against his. His whole person was in a trance.

Cheng Nuo felt that his whole body was so soft that he could not gather his strength at all. They simply gently rubbed, but Cheng Nuo felt as if his whole body had become soft.

When Bai Rui separated after a while, he dared to breathe, his face red and his heart beating violently. He suddenly remembered that he had learned to use wood abilities to create oxygen, and he was even more annoyed. Why did he become a fool when he met Bai Rui ah…?

Bai Rui did not give him a chance to think about it. He kept rubbing his cheeks with both hands, and whispered softly against his forehead: “I like kissing you”

Cheng Nuo’s old heart beat wildly again when he was stimulated by this sentence, and he stupidly said “oh” after a while.

He plucked up his courage and raised his head and was immediately stunned by the smiling Bai Rui.

Bai Rui’s expressions had always been very rare, but now he was lightly smiling, his bright golden eyes clearly reflecting his flushed face.

Fuck, why was Laozi so girly? Laozi was also a male creature! Obviously Bai Rui was only fifteen years old, but he always gave him a feeling of being pampered…

But when he thought of it in this way, his face was even hotter, and he simply dared not look at Bai Rui.

“I couldn’t control myself at that time,” Bai Rui stroked his hair and said softly, “Did I scare you?”

Cheng Nuo was stunned, and when he saw Bai Rui’s jade-like cheeks showing some slight red, he realized that Bai Rui was referring to those unholy human-beast, human half-beast moments. Fuck, he remembered everything! Laozi really wants to run away ah!

He hung his head for a long time and squeezed out a word: “No.”

In fact, Bai Rui’s tone of coaxing a child made him feel very awkward, but strangely he didn’t feel annoyed.

Bai Rui kissed his forehead and cheeks lightly, and whispered, “I’m glad I didn’t hurt you…”

He pondered for a while and then uttered a few words with difficulty: “What you do with Liu Guang, I will not care. But, am I not important in your heart? Don’t always refuse me by saying things that go against your heart.”

Not expecting Bai Rui to say this, Cheng Nuo’s eyes widened in shock, and his heart was bitter and astringent. What did Bai Rui mean? He didn’t even know what mood Bai Rui was in to say these words…

His eyes were sore and swollen, Cheng Nuo bit his lower lip fiercely to restrain that liquid, but his voice was hoarse: “I, I don’t know how to say it… it’s really impossible for me to let go of Liu Guang.”

Laozi is a damn scumbag! When he first transmigrated, Liu Guang should’ve thrown him in a dump and let beasts eat him! Or maybe Chang Chun should’ve killed him that time…! A scumbag like him shouldn’t have lived to this day at all…

Bai Rui pressed his forehead, put his hand on his heart and whispered, “Don’t be sad, I’m here.”

There was an unbearable suffocating pain in the place touched by his hand. Cheng Nuo bit his lower lip tightly. He didn’t know how someone could make his lover accommodate another person. At least, he couldn’t.

He shivered and raised his hand to put it on Bai Rui’s hand, and slowly clenched it. He felt sorry for Bai Rui and hated himself.

When Bai Rui kissed him again, Cheng Nuo closed his eyes subconsciously, and slowly put his hands around Bai Rui’s neck, and even took the initiative to suck Bai Rui’s lips.

Just think of it as the end of the world is coming. Anyway, he couldn’t give up Bai Rui…

His body was unbearably hot and dry, lips and tongues tightly entwined. Cheng Nuo forgot everything and responded desperately. Even when Bai Rui was worried that he was not breathing properly and wanted to let go, he was tightly entangled – Laozi would produce oxygen.…

Bai Rui was a little surprised and with a bitter joy in his heart, he got closer to Cheng Nuo, and responded clumsily and desperately.

In his fifteen years of age, he had never been so happy and satisfied as this time, and he had never had such expectations. He only hoped that time would stand still at this moment.

No one knew the taste of jealousy better than him, but he couldn’t let go, so he must learn to bear it. At least now, Cheng Nuo could only see him alone.

Bai Rui turned over and pressed Cheng Nuo under his body, wiped away a bit of the overflowing liquid from the corners of Cheng Nuo’s lips with his fingers, hovered over him and whispered, “During this time, I felt very good… but I did not return the favor.”

He also felt embarrassed. He stretched out his hand, covering the two of them with a thin quilt, and the air became even hotter.

“Bai Rui,” Cheng Nuo panted sharply. His sanity was coming back a little bit, and he couldn’t help but put his hand on Bai Rui’s thin waist.

Bai Rui kissed him on the lips and whispered, “I like it when you call my name.”

Cheng Nuo whispered it a few more times as if he was hypnotized, his heartbeat getting faster and faster. When he noticed that Bai Rui trying to untie his clothes, he didn’t stop him at all. He also longed for Bai Rui’s touch in his heart.

Bai Rui wanted to slow down a bit, but his hands moved fast, and he untied those complicated belts neatly, throwing them out of the quilt.

When their skin was close to each other, Cheng Nuo’s limbs were tightly wrapped around Bai Rui’s slightly cool body, and he almost didn’t want to move. He wrapped his arms tightly around Bai Rui’s waist, wrapped his legs around Bai Rui’s legs, and said hoarsely: “Bai Rui, I’m sorry.”

Bai Rui whispered: “Don’t say that, remember, don’t use those reasons to refuse me again.”

Cheng Nuo’s eyes were red, and he nodded vigorously.

Bai Rui’s lips and fingers wandered around him, causing a slight tingling. Cheng Nuo couldn’t help but let out a few gasps and couldn’t stop stroking Bai Rui’s body with his hands.

He fascinatedly looked at Bai Rui’s face and whispered, “You’re so beautiful…”
