Chapter 67
Ahaz took the dampened towel and followed the family doctor’s instructions to give Shen Mingye a physical cooling before he came.
Seeing the man walking towards himself, Qing Yun rubbed his face on the pillow and observed with a pair of clear eyes the expressionless but overflowing with worry and anxiety robot in front of him.
Ahaz had just come close when he heard the youth’s sighing voice: “Miss you so much……”
Ahaz stiffened. An electric shock directly touched his soul, and his gaze darkened again.
Were the youth’s words addressed to him? Or did he mistake him for Feng Fei Ming?
The man’s gaze revealed a deep sadness, but underneath it was a rising momentum. Whether it’s Yoder or Feng Fei Ming, get the f*ck out of here!
This young man is his and can only be his!
Contrary to the strong thoughts surging in his heart, Ahaz’s hand movements were gentle. He put a towel on Qing Yun’s forehead, and his fingers touched the person’s half-open button. Then, he suddenly thought of something and found a towel to wrap his own head.
The robot’s head has cameras on the front and back, and Feng Fei Ming regularly checks the surveillance on butler K. However, Ahaz could not let others see even a single strand of Shen Mingye’s hair.
Qing Yun did not resist the man’s action of unbuttoning his shirt. He believed his own feelings, and the one occupying this robot’s body must be ‘him’. After so many worlds, Qing Yun is already familiar with this man who has been entangled with him in every life. If he can still only recognize it in such a ridiculous way, he can only be considered stupid.
Watching the young man stretch out his body in front of himself was simply the sweetest torture for Ahaz. He was even thankful that he was using a robot body so that he didn’t have to worry about doing something messy when the youth was sick and weak like this.
Despite this, Ahaz was still a bit distracted, and his hand holding the towel was heavy, immediately provoking a soft grunt of discontent from
Shen Mingye.
The sick boy was not as docile as usual. He immediately slapped Ahaz in the face, nearly knocking the towel off his head.
“If you can’t do it, then get lost!” Qing Yun played up his temper and raised his foot to kick at the man.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Ahaz agreed familiarly, carefully easing his movements and rubbing the youth’s arm.
He worked almost until dawn. When he saw that the fever had gone down, Ahaz’s heart finally settled back in his chest. This worried emotion is strange and seemingly familiar to Ahaz, but either way, he enjoyed the feeling of taking care of the youth with his own hands.
Qing Yun was lying on the bed. Although his eyes seemed closed, he was not asleep. He observed the man beside him, wondering if this man was a robot straight away or if he had accidentally entered the body of butler K.
Anyway, with him around, Qing Yun feels that life has become a lot more interesting. Otherwise, he would have been distracted by the two guys, Feng Fei Ming and Yoder, all day long.
However, when the corners of Qing Yun’s mouth were quietly hooked up, the man standing next to his bed suddenly stiffened and fell with a “poof“.
Qing Yun immediately sat up from the bed, staring at the man who suddenly fell to the ground, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
He got out of bed and walked over to the man, and with one glance, he saw that the power indicator light around his neck was red.
Qing Yun laughed and cried and was relieved that he was just out of power.
In the past, when the robot sensed that it was low on power, it would recharge itself in time. Last night, this man must have stayed by his side to take care of him, completely ignoring the reminder of the lack of power, so this time, he directly shut down and fell to the ground.
"
"
On this side, butler K’s body fell to the floor, while far away in the ICU ward of a private hospital in E Country, Ahaz’s body moved.
Ahaz felt that he should be dreaming because he clearly remembered that Shen Mingye’s fever had already subsided, so why is he still seeing the youth lying in bed covered in red?
Dark red patterned bed sheets reflected against the young man’s flushed body. Ahaz saw him open those amber eyes and lift his chin slightly, saying something to him in a condescending manner.
The other’s words were indistinct, and Ahaz could not really hear them, but he still stepped closer and kissed the young man’s forehead in worship.
Fiery breaths intertwined, and Ahaz was finally able to embrace, kiss, and love the youth with his own body, rather than with that of an unresponsive robot.
Finally, he tasted the youth’s most joyous tears.
The man in the hospital bed suddenly opened his eyes, and in his emerald eyes was a desire that had not yet dissipated.
There was no one in the ward. Ahaz covered his face and sighed. He didn’t expect his first dream back to be like this. How long had it been since he had been this restless?
But he was obviously still drowning in his own fantasy. The hands that rested on both sides of his body moved to hold the hard object protruding from under the soft quilt. The youth’s eyes, which seemed to contain tears, flashed again in Ahaz’s mind.
To solve his physical problems, Ahaz took another shower. He chased away the butler and others who heard the commotion and came to the room to greet him before calming down and sitting on the hospital bed in his bathrobe and thinking about the Patterson family.
After leaving Butler K’s body, he became the high-powered business emperor again. He was in a coma for only one day. He had long managed the Elmond family like an iron barrel, so Ahaz’s short coma did not cause much disorder.
Ahaz had his hands clasped against his chin. Shen Mingye has declared on his verified homepage that he does not accept the marriage contract between the two families. Still, after all, Shen Mingye does not have much say in the matter, so his words just made the public talk about it, and they did not take it seriously.
Ahaz would like to issue a statement now that Shen Mingye and Yoder’s engagement is refuted.
But……Ahaz guessed that Shen Mingye did not confess his heart to Feng Fei Ming sincerely now because he is concerned about the Elmond family’s reaction. After all, he has one-sidedly broken off the marriage contract, which has not given the Elmond family much face. If he turned his head to confess his feelings to someone else, the Elmond family might even suppress the Patterson family for the sake of dignity.
Ahaz’s eyes darkened a bit more and turned into a dark green. Feng Fei Ming is now not moved by the youth, but Ahaz, a spectator, could see the stirring in Feng Fei Ming’s eyes.
Feng Fei Ming will one day be able to see the youth’s beauty, and Ahaz does not want to see the two end up together as a couple.
In short, before he gets the youth completely, the Elmond family can neither acknowledge nor refute Shen Mingye’s statement.
In fact, with Ahaz’s tactics, he could ultimately make a mess in their business and trip up Feng Fei Ming, making him unable to return home for a long time. But if Shen Mingye could wait for Feng Fei Ming for one day, it might be possible for him to wait for a week or a month. How could he let Shen Mingye wait with loneliness in that empty and cold house?
Ahaz also thought about transferring the marriage contract to Feng Fei Ming to fulfill for those two shameless things and set Shen Mingye free. He even wanted to bring Shen Mingye to his side to protect and care for him properly.
But would Shen Mingye be willing? His heart was set on Feng Fei Ming, and if Feng Fei Ming were engaged to Yoder, it would be the biggest blow to him.
Now, Ahaz was very conflicted. He wanted Feng Fei Ming to stay away from Shen Mingye, but he was also afraid that Shen Mingye would be sad because of this.
For him, the biggest obstacle was not Feng Fei Ming, nor the age gap between him and Shen Mingye……but the youth’s attitude itself.
When Ahaz thought of those amber eyes that were full of light, revealing even a hint of disgust to him, he felt like his heart was splitting apart. So with this matter, Ahaz, who was almost omnipotent in E Country, was unexpectedly at his wits’ end.
Qing Yun was angry.
Because after he recharged and rebooted the butler K, he discovered that the man was gone.
However, he soon didn’t have time to pay attention to this distracting robot because Feng Fei Ming finally remembered to go home after a night of playing with Yoder.
Yoder sent Feng Fei Ming back home, and as soon as they entered the door, they were surprised by the arrangement of the living room.
Feng Fei Ming beckoned the butler K to ask, “How did you get the living room to look like this?”
The good thing about robot butlers is that they always tell the truth: “Yesterday was the young master’s birthday. He thought you liked the traditional oriental style, so he had us decorate the living room like this.”
Birthday? Feng Fei Ming froze and suddenly thought of yesterday when the young man sent him away and asked him to come back early. So it was for this reason?
Yoder, who was behind Feng Fei Ming, also frowned. He looked up and surveyed the living room before his eyes turned to the dining room area.
The food on the table has not been completely cleaned up, and Yoder faintly saw a large bowl of longevity noodles, which showed no signs of being moved at all. The youth who had his birthday yesterday did not eat in the evening. No, it was only now that the servants began to clean up the table, which means that Shen Mingye also did not eat in the morning……
Last night……he had a good time with Feng Fei Ming, and the relationship has significantly progressed, but here on the day of the youth’s birthday, he was foolishly waiting alone for a whole night……
It seems that in the battle of love, Yoder has the upper hand, but he does not have the joy of the victor, and his heart is even a bit stuffed.
The things that Yoder noticed, Feng Fei Ming could naturally see as well.
The living room and dining room set-up could not have been left until now if it had not taken a while for butler K to charge.
Thinking about how the young man, who repeatedly asked him to come back early last night, Feng Fei Ming was silent for a long while before asking, “Where is he?”
“The young master had a high fever last night, and now the fever has just gone down, so he is still sleeping.”
Fever? How long had he waited? Yoder and Feng Fei Ming thought of this question at the same time.
“I’ll go check on him, you……go back first……,” Feng Fei Ming hesitated for a moment but still left Yoder behind and headed upstairs.
Although he seemed anxious, he did not go directly to see Shen Mingye but took butler K back to his room and watched the past two days’ surveillance.
Feng Fei Ming is a very cautious person. When he heard that Shen Mingye waited for him until late at night and had a high fever, he was touched. Still, the first thing that rose was suspicion, suspecting that Shen Mingye had done some sort of action by this.
The Patterson family had some internal turmoil this morning, which is why he went home.
At the same time, Feng Fei Ming thought he could not love someone the way Shen Mingye did, so he also doubted the authenticity of Shen Ming Ye’s actions.
However, after seeing the young man’s every move in the video, he was silent.
He didn’t remember Shen Mingye’s birthday at all, while this silly person was attempting to surprise him through his own birthday. For this reason, he went out of his way to stay up late at night to check out books and personally design the living room’s layout.
What is even more ridiculous is that last night, he actually waited for him until very late at night. And when he couldn’t see him, his first reaction was to worry if something happened to him on the road?
Feng Fei Ming almost covered his face to laugh out loud. Last night……he was happily playing with Yoder. If not for the problems within the family this morning, he would have stayed outside for another day.
The camera cover-up at the end did not arouse Feng Fei Ming’s suspicion. After all, butler K had already told him about the low battery auto-shutdown earlier.
After quietly gazing at Shen Mingye in the surveillance for a while, Feng Fei Ming then got up and walked towards Shen Mingye’s room: “Let’s go and see him.”
He hadn’t been in the youth’s room for a long time. Although he was very familiar with this room’s layout during the daily surveillance, it was still different from what he felt when he actually saw it.
The skinny young man was lying on the big bed, looking very lonely. His face was pale, and his usually shining eyes were tightly closed, making one worry whether the light in those eyes had faded.
Feng Fei Ming sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to test the temperature of Shen Ming Ye’s forehead.
There was no longer a burning sensation, so the fever must have subsided. However, the young man was obviously still not very comfortable. His slender eyebrows lightly frowned, and it made people feel distressed.
Feng Fei Ming wanted to touch the person’s brow, but Shen Mingye seemed to sense his approach and turned sideways, just in time to avoid his touch.
Shen Mingye was lying on his side with his back to him, and his body curled up. It seemed that even his hair strands revealed an attitude of rejection, which made Feng Fei Ming’s heart throb slightly.
Sure enough, he would also be angry. Last night, he clearly promised to come back but missed his promise, causing the youth to wait all night for nothing.
Qing Yun’s back was turned to him, a hint of tyranny and boredom flashed in his eyes. From the time he found out that that person was gone after the butler had been turned on, he had been very grumpy. And now that he had to face Feng Fei Ming, the scum of the earth, at this moment, Qing Yun’s mood became even worse.
He simply wants to ignore everything now and just storm up and strangle the person to death and get out of the world.
However, compared to the past, the current Qing Yun has more concerns. Coming to this world is not only for him to repair his soul but also for the man. In case he is not careful and attracts the Heavenly Dao, both of them will be finished.
Lightly glancing at butler K standing at the end of the bed, Qing Yun’s anger rose again. Where the hell did that man run off to! Why is it that when he had just recognized the man last night, he disappeared?
The man had returned to the Elmond house and was painting in his study. Ahaz’s hand holding the brush shook unexpectedly, nearly destroying the painting he had just finished.
But it was just a close call, and he withdrew his hand, which allowed the painted person to remain perfect.
The chestnut-haired boy, who was originally pure like an angel, was a complete temptation under Ahaz’s brush. Ahaz’s eyes were deep as he looked the painting up and down for a long time before sighing and putting it away with great care.
He had already started to control the Patterson family’s properties. The turmoil that caused Feng Fei Ming to go back this morning was also his handiwork. He finally decided to add fire and force Feng Fei Ming’s true colors out completely so that Shen Ming Ye can see them clearly.
Because Ahaz knew that Shen Mingye was immersed in his beautiful conception of love, not just because of Feng Fei Ming’s ambiguous attitude. If Feng Fei Ming had flatly refused from the beginning, Shen Mingye would never have been so bitterly entangled as he is now.
At the same time, Ahaz also began to set up Feng Fei Ming and Yoder, but his means for setting them up was too straightforward and crude, directly removing Yoder from his post and giving him time to run to the Patterson family every day.
Poor Yoder still does not know that his position in the company has been replaced.
But even though all aspects have been arranged, Ahaz is still very anxious because his current identity is not good to meet with the young man. He even thought that when Shen Mingye meets him, he will blurt out the title of “uncle”. In this case, he wants to die in a pile of cotton.
Thinking of this, Ahaz again began to miss his life as a robot.
Because with the identity of a butler, he could have unrestrained access to the youth and be able to watch and take care of him. It was unlike now that he has to take into account their identities when they meet. Besides, Ahaz knows how awkward Shen Mingye’s position is in the Patterson family. Without him, who would take good care of this person who has just come of age?
Just as Ahaz’s face was getting more and more troubled, the butler knocked on the door of the study, “Master, Young Master Yoder has returned.”
“You tell him to wait.” As soon as he heard that Yoder had returned, Ahaz’s face immediately went grim. Last night, Shen Mingye waited until the early morning, and even had a high fever, only to have this stupid son of his drag Feng Fei Ming to see some blue moon?
He was like an angry lion, and his footsteps emitted a sound on the wooden floor as Ahaz stepped to get out of the study. Just as he was about to open the door, Ahaz suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something.
He lifted his foot and saw that it was the exact part that had caused him to cross the other day. A familiar dizziness hit Ahaz, and he fell to the ground with a crash.
The butler waiting outside the door heard the muffled sound inside and froze. Then, he immediately opened the door to the study and saw Ahaz, who had just come out of the hospital this morning, on the floor again, with his face to the ground.
