Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler Chapter 93 – Taking Beggars In (I)

Chapter 93: Taking Beggars In (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

After having had such a dream, Long remained in a bad mood for several days in a row.

Plus, Shi wasn’t with him. So, Long felt more depressed.

He counted the days and waited for Shi to come back. Finally, that day came.

Before Shi went upstairs, he was told by the Shadow Guardians that the emperor was in a bad mood and only ate a little these days.

Shi thought Long was angry because he left without saying goodbye earlier.

But when he saw Long later, Shi found that things might not be that simple!

“Qingzhou?” Long was stunned when he saw Shi in the room.

Shi closed the door. “I’m back.”

Long suddenly stood up and then smiled bitterly. “You are back?”

Shi went to Long step and step while saying softly, “Yes, I’m back. Are you angry?”

Long shook his head. “No, don’t overthink it.”

Shi frowned deeply. When he left, he expected that Long would be angry, but he didn’t expect Long would behave like this!

Long said he wasn’t angry, but Shi found that… Long wasn’t in a good state.

“What’s the matter with you?” Shi asked.

Long pursed his lips. “Nothing… It’s just that I’m not in a good mood these days.”

Shi took a deep breath, “Because I left you?”

“No.” Long shook his head. “It’s just because I had a bad dream.”

Shi was stunned, since he didn’t expect to get such an answer. “You had… a bad dream?”

Long smiled bitterly. “Yes.”

“What did you dream of?” Shi asked.

Long didn’t know how to tell Shi about that dream, which was actually about his previous life. So, he could only shake his head.

Some coldness flashed through Shi’s eyes. “You can’t even tell me?”

Feeling that Shi was a little unhappy, Long opened his mouth and said hesitantly, “No… I can tell you… but I don’t know how to say it… Qingzhou, please don’t be angry.”

Looking at Long, Shi softened his expression.

Then, Shi approached Long and said softly, “What did you dream of?”

Long said in a low voice, “I dreamed that… all my relatives left me.”

Shi was stunned after hearing those words. “You mean… the late emperor?”

Long pressed his lips together and shook his head. “No. I mean my mother and the others.”

“The late empress?” Shi pondered for a while. “You still have me.”

Long breathed a long sigh of relief and then held Shi into his arms.

“Yes, I still have you. I’m so glad that you’re with me, Qingzhou…”

Shi’s face completely softened as he looked at Long.

A moment later, Long let go of Shi.

“Qingzhou, did you keep taking your medicine?”

Shi nodded. “I took Zhang Yuan with me and the residual poison in my body has been removed.”

Long looked at Shi angrily.

“This isn’t over yet!”

Shi blinked. “I came back safe, didn’t I?”

“So that’s it?” Long was dissatisfied and stared at Shi in anger.

Shi knew that he was wrong, so he said softly, “It was my fault this time.”

Long snorted. “You still know it was your fault?”

Shi touched his nose. “Yeah…”

Long thought that Shi looked so funny, so he couldn’t help pinching Shi’s cheek.

Shi frowned slightly. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn’t dare to stop Long.

Long stopped after a while and then he looked at Shi. “Humph, I’ll forgive you this time!”

Shi touched his nose.

Then, Long took Shi’s hand and the two of them sat down.

Shi told Long the whole story of his journey.

After hearing that, Long said, “So the troops have now been split up and gone to Shuanghua City separately?”

“Yes, they’re experienced and won’t make others get suspicious.”

Long breathed a long sigh of relief. “Qingzhou, you’ve done a good job.”

“You won’t blame me?” Shi raised his eyebrows.

Long rolled his eyes. “Who dares to blame you?”

Shi stared at Long as if saying that “clearly you were very angry just now!”

Long smiled. “How could you leave even without saying goodbye?”

Shi didn’t want to argue with him, so he directly said, “I’m hungry.”

“Well, I’ll have the meal prepared.”

Shi nodded and watched Long doing something for himself.

Long acted a little strange earlier. Shi didn’t like Long behaving like that by instinct. He was also a little scared. He felt that man was so far away from him that he couldn’t reach, so he was very unhappy.

Now that Long was back to normal, Shi felt that was the man he was familiar with.

Shi didn’t want to think more about Long’s dream. He always felt that after that special dream several days ago, Long had been hiding something from him.

However, Shi also thought that if he really got to know the secrets that Long wasn’t willing to tell him, it might not be good for both of them.

Therefore, Shi never forced Long to say anything about that.

At present, Shi just wanted to be with Long.

Shi instinctively felt that as long as he was with Long, Long would always be his intimate lover!

After dinner, Long had a good mood, so he went to the street with Shi.

Long still didn’t change his shopping habits. When he saw something interesting or when he thought something was suitable for Shi, he would buy it without hesitation.

Soon, Shi received many gifts.

Looking at those little things, Shi wanted to laugh, but he also felt deeply moved.

At least, it meant that Long still cared about him, right?

Shi accepted the gift. After strolling around for a while, the two of them planned to go back.

Just then, they heard a commotion ahead.

Long and Shi immediately looked over.

They saw that a middle-aged man kicked down a beggar, who was a seven or eight-year-old boy.

Long’s face hardened as he went toward there.

Shi followed him.

“How dare you steal my things? You’re courting death!” The middle-aged man kicked the little beggar again.

There were many people around, but none of them stood up to help the beggar.

“Did he really steal your things?” When that man wanted to kick the boy again, Long grasped his wrist and exerted a little force.

Even though Long couldn’t be compared with Shi in terms of power, he was still more powerful than the man who couldn’t do any martial arts at all.

Thus, that man felt hurt immediately.

But Shi frowned. He didn’t like Long touching others like that. It was dirty!

So, Shi went to Long and then pulled his clothes.

Long turned to look at Shi. “What’s wrong?”

While asking, Long let go of that man.

Shi shook his head and turned his eyes to the little beggar.
