Chapter 34 Uneasy Feeling
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
"Why don't you ask?"
It was obvious that Si Yuhan was not going to let it pass easily.
Ke Ruan swallowed hard and replied in an emotionless manner, "If you want to tell me, you will tell me, even if I don't ask."
"You should ask before I can tell you something."
Ke Ruan was utterly speechless.
Damnit. He did that on purpose.
'If he really wanted to tell me, when I asked him he would have said something. Now he wants to tell me? This is all intentional."
Ke Ruan had no clue about why Si Yuhan looked so unpredicatable and frightened to him all along. That looks didn't belong to an eight-year-old boy. Ke Ruan did stop him from being hurt, right? So why did he still look so damaged?
After taking a deep breath, Ke Ruan looked at Si Yuhan and asked, "So, what do you want from me?"
Si Yuhan smiled faintly. His eyes were clear with no hint of depression, "Nothing."
A playful and adorable tone.
Ke Ruan was utterly speechless.
Ke Ruan's heart was bleeding.
Ke Ruan looked right into Si Yuhan's eyes. Si Yuhan looked right back, showing no concession and fear.
Ke Ruan frowned. "Oh," he said, then looked down, showing nothing unusual. According to the novel, when the male lead changed into someone scheming and vicious, his eyes were so intimidating that could make his enemies scared at first glance. But Ke Ruan didn't see that in Si Yuhan's eyes now.
Was it really an illusion?
But Ke Ruan still felt more and more horrified. Nope. He needed to do something now.
"Are you full?"
Ke Ruan had finished binding up his hand, then he noticed that Si Yuhan hadn't touched that bowl of wonton he gave him.
He thought hard about whether or not that stupid prince had done anything bad to Si Yuhan before he became the prince. If not, why Si Yuhan hated him to the guts?
It was only a year since Si Yuhan came to the Red Flame. At first, Ke Ruan was indeed arrogant. But he was not those kind of person who bullied anyone for no reason. Something must had happened to make him aim at Si Yuhan.
That was why Ke Ruan didn't do anything outrageous to Si Yuhan for the first six months.
After that, Si Yuhan was so outstanding, which made others look so bad, which of course pissed off the original Ke Ruan. Even so, Ke Ruan didn't do anything outrageous.
When it came to why he changed and became so mean to Si Yuhan, it had everything to do with other hostage princes from other countries.
Especially that man called Yu Xin. Ke Ruan heard that name before, but he didn't pay any attention. But recently all those things reminded him of everything that Yu Xin had done, which played an very important role in making Si Yuhan hate Ke Ruan so much.
As to this person, the book said something like the following:
Ke Ruan stared coldly at Si Yuhan. Yu Xin smiled broadly and said, " Your highness. This bastard dares to oppose you! It's unforgivable!"
"Your highness. It's pretty obvious that Si Yuhan did this on purpose."
"Your highness, how dare he be so arrogant to you!"
…
He was the reason why Ke Ruan was being more and more cruel to Si Yuhan.
Yu Xin was just a nobody in the book so when he read the book he paid no attention to this man. The novel didn't say much about his man, either. But it was true that when Ke Ruan was thinking about hurting Si Yuhan, Yu Xin was always there to make it reality.
So for the last half of the year, the original crown prince became more and more disgusted with Si Yuhan, thus hurt him more and more badly. When Ke Ruan came over, he coincidentally caught up to the starting point of Si Yuhan's becoming scheming and vicious.
Mystery solved. But Ke Ruan couldn't get rid of the feeling that Si Yuhan was acting strangely, and the felling became more and more intense.
