章 15: Chapter 15 - This Feeling... I'm Jealous?
After Snow was sure that he has lost the trail of people looking for his whereabouts, Snow finally return back to his residence.
Changing his clothes to a luxurious silky black robe along with silver lining on it and changing back his appearance to what it was before, amber eyes curving up as he felt delight all over at his well thought out plan, the red tear mark under his eyes making him look more charming than ever.
Glancing at the food already prepared in the table, Snow turn his head away and squinting at the window outside, "Hm... Its should be around three in the afternoon. Flake look for the best Restaurant in the Capital." Snow order Flake, although he doesn't really have much appetite but he knew that he has to eat, specially when his body is in fragile state.
He needs all the energy and strength he could get, even though there is the medicines that can allow him to be able to stay strong without needing to eat and drink for whole day but it could not always help him gather his strength, specially with how broken his current body was at the moment.
"Ok! Just wait for a bit Snow! I'll look for the best restaurant for you!"
Snow smiled before turning around and putting a small golden scroll into his sleeves before reaching out to take a hold of silver mask as he place it on his face, covering most half of his face, showing only the pink lip and white chin, hiding most of his appearance.
"I found it Snow! I'm sure you will like the place!" Flake said as Snow nod his head, before leaving the residence again.
Its time to finally take some rest since he will be busy tonight again after all.
In a large restaurant, one of the most famous place in the Rong Capital, located near the bustling place of the Capital were most of the wealthy people goes into, a small figure wearing a luxurious silk black robe with silver lining on it could be seen sitting in one of the more private room in the building which currently has its window wide open, letting the people sitting inside able to watch the people on the street walking by.
Placing the chopstick on the table, Snow took out a silver handkerchief as he gracefully wipe his lip and hands, amber eyes glancing at the remaining dishes in the table which was emitting delicious aroma in the air.
It is rather delicious but Snow already calculated that he has already eaten enough food for today.
Calling the server to take away all the remaining foods, before a calming hot tea and sweet snacks was place before him, in the corner of his eyes, Snow watched as the people completely left the room before he reach out to take the cup on his hand, sipping from time to time while watching the people outsides.
Sighing as he let his body relax, even when a familiar pain could be felt on his chest from time to time which he continue to ignore completely since he was use to it after all, specialy when his current body has the experience for years.
On his past life, he has died due from poisoning, even in this life, the new body that he was currently residing is also afflicted with poison, and can be the main reason of his death again.
Pink lip couldn't help but smile in ridicule, it seemed that he has a great affinity regarding being poison.
"Snow! Snow! I felt a familiar energy! Its Li Chen! Snow, Li Chen is near us, he is currently outside."
Snow thought was interrupted by Flake prompt, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise up from what he just heard, "Does he knows that we are nearby Flake?"
Flake turn from left and right, "He doesn't know Snow! I am always shielding your aura so that he won't be able to find you."
Snow nodded his head, although he was quite excited to see Li Chen again, but it is not the right time, or should he say that he doesn't have time for Li Chen at the moment.
He is currently busy, handling Xiao Feiyu, specially all the people around him that has specially has a hand over their death.
Although Li Chen is his cheat and was the one that he want to use on his plan, it doesn't change the fact that he could not always count on Li Chen, specially when a planned can always change.
Of course, as Snow stood up and gracefully moving near the window, and leaning on the wall as he look at the people outside, amber eyes looking around, searching for the familiar figure, it doesn't change the fact that he really miss Li Chen.
Emotionally he was already giving birth emotions toward Li Chen, and he was not stopping it at all, because when it comes to emotions and feelings, Snow is not afraid of it at all.
Suppress or erasing emotion was so easy that he was no longer afraid on it, although, he still felt those emotions, specially when it comes to something painful.
On his past life, he felt the emotional pain of watching as his love ones die one by one before him.
Specially the longing feeling of a miss chance to be together with Rei for a lifetime.
As he took a sip on his hot tea which was his right hand was currently holding, Snow amber eyes finally lock with the familiar figure in the street and he smiled with joy.
Li Chen as always wearing a white robe with a purple cloud pattern on it, much more luxurious clothes than the one that he usually use to when they have been living together, along with his tall and slender figure with that handsome appearance of his, black ink hair loose along with a gentle smile on his face, making him has the aura of a scholarly person along with a gentleman appearance, gentle and kind.
Crack!
Suddenly a loud crack resound the room, Snow suddenly felt a slight ting of pain on his hand causing his amber eyes to lower down as he stare at the currently broken cup on his hand which has cause from gripping on it too tightly.
The sound of water dripping echoed on his ear, that has scald his small and slender hand, but he was currently not in the mood to take care of his scald hand, ignoring the broken bits that has pierce his skin, making it bleed slightly as he slowly raised his head and immediately staring at the familiar figure, along with the person who was currently beside him.
Amber eyes narrowing down as the young female, belonging to a noble family base from her appearance and air around her, probably in the military lineage as well since even in the far distance Snow can feel the slight air of valiant on her as she take a hold of the white sleeves of Li Chen robe while smiling shyly but bravely facing him.
She was really beautiful and graceful, along with a good body figure that belong to a person that exercise the most, slender and tall that has a strong probability of being a martial artist.
A fierce light suddenly flashing on Snow amber eyes, as a slightly killing intent suddenly spike around him, before he immediately tried to cover it up.
A rather strong resentment and bitterness, slightly came inside of him, mostly belonging to the original Xen as a voice of words appear on his mind.
No One Can Be Trusted.
Everyone Will Leave In The End.
Cannot believed with people affection.
Only I can help myself.
Frowning from the sudden emotion and thoughts that suddenly appeared, Snow felt a slight dislike from those thing that doesn't belong to him because those can be fatal in certain circumstances, specially when handling a rather dangerous time and place.
However, right now, Snow doesn't have the time to think much about what was happening as he suddenly felt a strong pain over his chest, the strong emotion he felt causing his sickness to somehow acted.
Throwing the broken bit of the cup on the ground, he raised his left hand to cover his mouth as he cough again and again, head raised up while he was at it, as he return his gaze back because he knows that the sudden spike of killing intent that he just emitted has definitely cause Li Chen attention.
Someone like him, who has live in dangerous place his whole entire life, specially when it was the end of the world where people cannot be trusted and has to be always on their guards to the people around them.
And just like Snow has thought, Li Chen was currently staring right to where he was standing up, even in the distant Snow could see those black ink eyes widely staring at him with shock, surprise and delighted at the sight of him while a slightly worried emotions was flashing on those black eyes.
Feeling the gradually weakening of his body, Snow couldn't help but frown but still amber eyes filled with nothing but cold emotion gazing right back at the black ink eyes, knowing that even if he was currently wearing a mask on his face Li Chen will still be able to tell what he was feeling before immediately turning away as he immediately left the restaurant, specially when Snow doesn't feel like meeting Li Chen at the moment.
Snow is currently in a very bad mood.
"Li Chen? Li Chen?" a soft voice suddenly cause Li Chen mind to get back from the sudden surprise from finally seeing the person that he has been looking for the entire time.
Li Chen has been missing him so much that he felt like he was going crazy, even when his little Xen has been wearing that silver mask, he knows that he was the person that he has been looking for, the always calm beat of his heart suddenly thundering loudly was the proven evidence of it.
"What's wrong?" the young female asked at the currently daze young man before him worriedly, somehow she was feeling a slight unease deep within her.
As Li Chen turn and stare at the young woman currently looking at him worriedly and remembering the rather confusing cold feeling that he felt when Little Xen has stare at him, a light suddenly flash on his eyes as a reason suddenly emerged in his mind.
Suddenly he felt a overwhelming delight at the thought that his little Red might have been jealous when he saw him being together with a young woman, but at the same time feeling extremely worried over the fact that he has been coughing nonstop as his small body was shuddering from time to time.
"I apologize, something came up so I have to leave."
Li Chen smile in an apology but he was agitated that his smile was rather stiff since he was unable to hide what his current mood was, inside of him, he slightly surprise how he was really affected just by one person alone.
"...Huh..?" the young woman answer dazedly as her mind came into a blank, because she just caught a glimpse of certain emotion deep into his eyes in that just a slight moment.
When it comes to certain thing, she was rather adept to observing details, although it was not completely perfect but it was the experience over being together with the people in the military.
She was not the same as most of the young lady in the noble clan, she is the only daughter of one of the military lineage family in the Rong Dynasty, observing people was what she has been doing when growing up, specially when it comes to practicing her martial arts.
And what she saw was tenderness and attachment and it was something too deep that made her mind blank, because that certain emotion does not belong to her, it was something that belong to someone else.
So she couldn't help but reach out her hand to hold the white sleeves of the slightly older man before her, as denial and refusal emerge within her, "Wait... Li Chen...Do-.."
However before she even has the time to touch his long sleeves and finish her sentence, Li Chen immediately left without hesitation, not even giving her enough time, as he left her all alone in the street without a slightest care about it.
She could only watch his back as a slight refusal flashing in her eyes as Li Chen entire figure disappear before her.
There was no way she was giving up, even though they just met and has known each other for just a few days, but Li Chen was different, no man has ever enter her eyes during this years, her heart was move, and as someone who belong to a military family, giving up is something that was not like her at all.
A fierce light suddenly emit in the large brown eyes, before turning around and leaving the street, her back straight as she walk away.
As Li Chen stare at the broken bits of cup in the floor with a slight blood on it, he immediately order Black as black ink eyes room the entire room, expression darkening seeing it entirely empty, the figure of the person he has been longing for was no longer in the place.
"Its Xen, Li Chen." Black prompt after scanning the blood in the floor to make sure they got the right person.
Li Chen quickly left, before looking left and right outside, before rushing to the left corner of a building when he saw a familiar figure turning around.
As he catch up on the disappearing figure before him, his entire attention completely on one person alone, no one else in the world was more important existence toward him, the young woman that he has left has completely left his mind.
Since that young lady was just someone that he can use in some of his plan, specially when looking for his little Xen and now that Xen has appeared, there was no reason to always hang out with her.
Turning around the corner, seeing that Xen has disappeared, his black ink eyes roomed around the place looking for details to trail Xen location, his spiritual sense roaming the place while ordering Black at the same time.
"Sorry Host, it seemed that Xen has a magical item that can hide his aura, strong enough to even block the system."
QQ There was no way Black could tell that Xen is very special that even the System was unable to really handle him.
Li Chen frowned, ice cold eyes stare on his System, this cheat of his is really useless when he needed it before stepping forward as he called Xen name, knowing it might be useless but as long as it has the slight chance, Li Chen will not give up.
He miss him dearly, specially miss wrapping his arm around his small figure as it perfectly fit his arms.
He miss the way his lovely cheek turned pink from embarrassment and shyness.
"Little Xen... Little Xen.... please... its me... Li Chen..."
"... I know I shouldn't come.... but Little Xen... I really miss you..."
"Little Xen... Xen... please let me see you?"
On top of one of the rooftop, delicate wrist covered with mystic art runes as a thin light covering his entire body, completely giving him the invisibility as an irritated amber eyes watch the figure run around looking left and right for certain someone, while words of beg left his lip from time to time.
Snow couldn't help but frown a little as Li Chen was desperately looking for him, so completely different from the usually strong and powerful man Snow remember.
Pink small lip thinning in a straight line before turning around and leaving the place without hesitation, leaving the young man to desperately find his location.
"Eh Snow? Why won't you appear " asked the somehow clueless Flake, because despite knowing more and more about the world around him, he was still a newborn soul after all.
Flake is still growing up, despite how mature he appear sometimes.
"Its not the right time yet." answer Snow easily but inside he was really annoyed, there was no way that he will let Li Chen meet him so easily after watching that scene.
Snow knew he was acting slightly childish at the moment, but everything was not as simple as it seemed.
It was not just jealousy that was causing his bad mood at the moment, yes Snow that he was jealous but like he said it was not just because of a woman being beside Li Chen.
There was no way that he will get easily jealous, specially when Snow knew that there will be other people that will be trying to be with Li Chen sides.
Snow knew that Li Chen has his own charm, there was no way that he won't be able to get other people to admire him, specially love him.
He became the Future Emperor before after all, that is already enough evidence about his own charms.
However If it was someone else Snow would have not felt irritated and jealous, but that young woman was completely different and special.
That was the only daughter of one of the Great General Family in the Rong Dynasty, Hong Tan, a valiant lady belonging to the military family and the one who become Li Chen Empress in the supposed Future that Rong Xen has died.
