Chapter 159



[“Look at this, Ah Chen. Your father gave me this comb when we just started dating many years ago,” a middle-aged woman happily showed him a comb that looked ordinary in his eyes.

He was already twenty years old when his mother suddenly showed him the comb, and he did not find anything out of the ordinary with the comb in his mother’s hand. It was just a comb made of plastic, and he could guess that it wasn’t expensive.

“What’s so special about this comb, mom?” The young man asked his mother lazily, and the mother tried to control herself so as not to hit her son on the head.

“This comb is indeed not special, but the meaning when your father gave this comb to me is very special,” the woman patiently explained to her son. “Do you know the saying ‘a happy couple will be together until their hair turns white’? Giving a comb to a loved one is a romantic promise that can be described as ‘I want to be with you until we grow old together.’ That’s very romantic, right? Your father is indeed the most romantic person!”]

It was a memory from two years ago, and Bai Chen only lazily rolled his eyes before returning to reading his favorite manga at the time.

He did think the love story was too cheesy. He didn’t mean to belittle his parents’ love story, but he just didn’t like hearing romantic stories that made him want to throw up, and so he chose to ignore his mother’s tale back then.

He thought that it was just bullshit when a guy gifted a cheap comb to a girl he loved. The man must have taken advantage of the idiom so that he wouldn’t have to buy expensive gifts for his loved one, and Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that the man was too stingy rather than romantic.

He didn’t mean to call his father stingy, but that was the opinion that had been in his head ever since he learned the story behind the comb two years ago. In his eyes, the story was just a lame story between a couple, and he didn’t want to think about it too much.

.....

Furthermore, he also promised himself that he would not give a comb to his partner in the future. The comb would be too cheap to prove his love, so he wouldn’t do the same thing his father did to his mother all those years ago.

That was Bai Chen’s opinion before today, but that opinion was mercilessly crushed when he saw the comb above his palm. His blue eyes were glued to the comb, and he could see that it was made of wood, and judging by the color, Bai Chen assumed that it was made of rosewood.

It even had a faint scent that felt pleasant in its nostrils, and Bai Chen was certain that the comb was indeed made of rosewood.

Zhu Ge had just given him a comb, and Bai Chen couldn’t help but think that the man had hidden intentions behind what he had just done to him.

Staring at the red-robed man, Bai Chen asked the man, “Why are you giving this comb to me? Is it just because you want me to use this comb to straighten my hair?”

That was indeed the reason Zhu Ge had spoken when he had just handed the comb to him, and Bai Chen didn’t want to get his hopes up because he had told himself that the reason was indeed possible.

Zhu Ge remained silent after hearing the question, but then he smiled before landing his big hand on Bai Chen’s cheek and answering the question, “That’s not the real reason why I want to give this comb to you, and the real reason is that I want to be by your side until your hair is turning white, Bai Chen. Will you allow me?”

Bai Chen’s breath was stolen when he heard Zhu Ge’s question. Even if Bai Chen could guess that Zhu Ge did have hidden intentions, he didn’t expect that the man in red would be so bold when he voiced his wish.

It wasn’t just a wish, but it was the raven-haired man’s confession.

‘Wait. I should have confessed to Zhu Ge, but he confessed to me first. What will happen to my mission?’ Bai Chen suddenly became panicked when he realized that Zhu Ge’s confession had just ruined his mission.

Sure enough, he still had more than twenty hours to complete his mission, but he was worried if the system revoked the mission just because Zhu Ge confessed to him first.

{WHY DO YOU FEEL PANICKED, HOST? YOU CAN’T SAY THAT THE CHARACTER ‘ZHU GE’ HAS CONFESSED TO YOU BECAUSE HE DIDN’T EVEN SAY HIS FEELINGS TOWARD YOU. THE HOST CAN JUST USE THIS MOMENT TO CONFESS, AND THE SUCCESS RATIO WILL REACH 99.99%}

The system suddenly answered his question and even gave him a prediction about the success ratio. Bai Chen didn’t even know when the system had updated itself, but it seemed that the system had been upgraded from the latest version.

He chose to ignore the differences in the system and chose to focus on the explanation given by the system.

The system said that Zhu Ge had not confessed to him earlier, and that was why he still had a chance to confess. Moreover, it seemed that Zhu Ge did have feelings for him, so Bai Chen was certain that he would get a ‘yes’ after confessing to the red-robed man.

If he managed to get a ‘yes,’ then he would be able to be himself and stop pretending to be the real Bai Chen in this world, and that would be a great reward for him.

Therefore, Bai Chen made a firm decision in his heart as he took a deep breath before raising his hand to hold Zhu Ge’s hand that was still on his cheek.

“You just said that you wanted to watch how my hair turned white, but you didn’t tell me how you feel for me, Zhu Ge,” The Werewolf Prince began, and he could feel his heart pounding against his ribs. “I don’t know what’s hidden in your heart, but I want to tell you that I...” He paused when he could hear his own heartbeat, and he was afraid that the other man would be able to hear it too. Swallowing nervously, he then continued, “I like you, and I want to be with you. Do you want to be my lover, Zhu Ge?”

Bai Chen did it! He had confessed to Zhu Ge for real!

He could feel his heart exploding in his chest, but he was still waiting for the raven-haired man to answer his question.

The system said that the success ratio would be able to reach 99.99%, and Bai Chen was confident that he would be able to complete his mission by now.

He was sure that Zhu Ge would accept him, and he was sure that Zhu Ge would say ‘yes’ to him-

“No, I don’t want to be your lover, Bai Chen.”

-What the hell! Bai Chen was rejected by Zhu Ge!
