ARC 3 : YOU ARE MY FAITH

Chapter 27

"Lovers? How did you start thinking that we can develop such a... deep relationship?" Shang Ke was certain that he did not interact with Tylor in an ambiguous manner these past few months. Besides the other occasionally dropping by to mooch food from him, he would only chat with him occasionally. Their relationship was very normal.

"I also don't know how." Tylor replied with a very flat expression.

You also don't know?

Shang Ke thought that he would be able to heard some kind of new and original confession, romantic declaration, and so on. However, it turned out that he actually said he doesn't know!

Tylor looked at Shang Ke, calmly saying, "Among all types of relationships, I particularly endorse myself with that of "lovers."Therefore, I think we can develop this sort of relationship."

Shang Ke couldn't help but ask, "...Just what kind of reasoning allowed you to feel that you can develop a romantic relationship with someone of the same gender as if it's an everyday occurrence?"

Tylor fell silent for a moment before replying, "I don't know why, but I feel as though, if I don't quickly establish our relationship, then in the future it will definitely be too late for regrets."

Shang Ke felt a bit guilty at his response, like he took an arrow in the knee...

"What do you think?" Tylor asked again.

"Nonono, I don't have any thoughts," Shang Ke quickly refused. "I think that our current status is good: rivals and friends, with a distance neither too close nor too far."

Tylor's eyes drooped. He obviously didn't have an expression, but Shang Ke could make out a trace of disappointment from his face.

A moment later, he looked back up and said, "Then we can do a trial marriage, and see if we can develop the feelings of lovers after acting like husband and wife."

Shang Ke was simply unable to understand this man's train of thought. If they don't date, then they'll go straight to a trial marriage? This kind of jump is too large, alright!

Shang Ke took a deep breath and repeated, "Let's keep our current relationship of rivals and friends, being neither too close nor too far.."

"Then it is settled, we'll do a trial marriage," Tylor said with a sincere expression.

Damn, who said we were going to do a trial marriage? Don't ignore him!

"Daddy?" Shang Ke was just about to defend his human rights when Pupu woke up.

"Awake?" Shang Ke pinched her nose.

Pupu had a head of disheveled hair, peeking her head out of the blankets and looking around in a daze. She resembled a silkworm as she made her way into Shang Ke's embrace, lazily lying against his chest as she tilted her head to look at Tylor. She then patted the place she had previously lying, indicating that he shouldn't just stand there stupidly, since she was willing to give him her place for him to sleep.

Shang Ke felt both gratified and distressed toward his daughter's generosity.

A trace of praise flashed through Tylor's eyes as he thought, Good girl, he'll take care of all her future snacks, and her dowry.

In the end, Shang Ke and Pupu decided to stay at Tylor's place, at least for the time being.

The reason why Kaiser had agreed was mainly because he was worried that Shang Ke would throw himself into danger to save another, in spite of his condition. Leaving him by Tylor's side would at least guarantee that outsiders couldn't hurt him.
