The Cub I've Raised is the Crown Prince of the Empire

"Crash-"

As Jun Lu sat down, the water in the bathtub overflowed and landed on the tiles, making a crisp sound.

Yu Xingqiao leaned against one end of the bathtub with his knees hugged.

He curled up into a ball, half of his small face was submerged in the clear water, his bright starry eyes were exposed on the water, and he glanced at the black-haired boy opposite him from time to time.

Why is he feeling hotter and hotter?

Is it because the water temperature is too high?

And... why is my heart beating so fast?

Yu Xingqiao tucked his toes together, his body swayed unconsciously, his gaze fell on the black-haired boy vaguely, mainly... lingering between his chest muscles and abdominal muscles.

Growing up so big, it was the first time for him to take a bath with his peers—of course, the previous ones with Zai Zai were not counted.

After all, every time I take a bath, Zai Zai will turn into a little black ball...

Huh?

Yu Xingqiao tilted his head, so to speak... Was it because Zai Zai was shy before?So I refused to show him the body of a child!

It must be because of this...

Thinking of this, Yu Xingqiao looked down at himself again.

Ah, this is a completely unattractive figure...

He raised his head again, resting his chin on his knees, staring at Jun Lu in a daze.

The grown-up cubs are so beautiful...

Slowly, he found that the boy's neck was dyed crimson, and then slowly climbed up, dyed the base of the ear, then the whole ear, and finally...

The boy moved his body and turned his back to him, unexpectedly...

Don't show him!

Jun Lumu put on a face, only in this way can he restrain his urge to turn back into a ball.

In fact, all his calm just now was just pretending.

Although the education on this aspect is very comprehensive in the inheritance memory, it is another matter to really take action on your own.

For example, meeting honestly in front of the person you like, it is said that you can show your strength and charm, and attract the other party...

He seemed to have done it, but when the boy's eyes lingered on his body, he couldn't control himself well.

Feeling the heat that still couldn't go away on his face, Jun Lu clenched his fists annoyed.

What a shame!

How can you be so weak in front of your master?What if the master still treats him like a child?

The more he thought about it, the more regretful he felt, the young man raised his hands to cover his eyes, feeling extremely ashamed and dissatisfied for his escape and retreat just now.

What to do now?

Jun Lu put down his palm, there seemed to be no movement behind him, and the master's gaze... seemed to be off him.

Feeling a bit disappointed.

Do you want to turn around as if nothing happened, and let the master continue to look at him?But, would the owner think he was weird?

When Jun Lu was at war between heaven and man, he felt a soft little hand gently press against his back.

He felt as if he had been electrocuted, and his back went stiff.

Jun Lu turned his head stiffly sideways, and met the smiling young man's eyes.

In the mist, those star eyes were slightly bent, with a mischievous smile inside, eager and lovely.

"Xiao Li, shall I rub your back?" He said.

Jun Lu looked at him deeply, his red eyes shone with gentle light.

He pursed his lips and hummed lightly.

Yu Xingqiao looked at the red cloud on the young man's face, couldn't help but grinned, saw the overlap with Zai Zai again on his body, and suddenly felt the distance between the two of them getting closer.

so cute~

It's just that besides being cute, he also felt that there was another strange emotion growing in his heart.

It was a strange emotion, he didn't quite understand what it was, he only knew that he really wanted to stay by the boy's side and watch him all the time.

Thinking of this, Yu Xingqiao looked around, as if he was looking for something.

Then I saw that a shadow tentacles rolled up a bath towel and handed it to him.

"Ah, thank you!"

He took the bath towel in surprise, thanked him, and finally touched the shadow tentacles.

The icy and cool touch is inexplicably refreshing after being dizzy from the steam.

Yu Xingqiao didn't notice that the ears of the young man beside him were a little red again, he held back something, and gently looked away.

Then, the shadow tentacles grabbed Yu Xingqiao's hand, touched his slender shoulders, and gently rubbed against his cheek.

There was a cool touch on his face, Yu Xingqiao didn't dodge, instead he rolled his eyes with a smile, and then saw the shadow tentacles, retracted quickly, and disappeared in the shadow.

Yu Xingqiao touched his cheek, seeing that Jun Lu was still waiting, he turned around and rubbed his back.

On the young man's strong back, there are scars—the scars that he left and scabbed during his escape.

Yu Xingqiao touched it with his fingertips distressedly. Although he knew that he was no longer in pain, he carefully avoided these scars when scrubbing him.

In the bathroom, for a moment, there was only the quiet sound of water.

Junlu kept his back straight.

The roughness of the bath towel and the softness and delicacy of those small hands formed an extreme contrast, coupled with the strength of the boy's tickling, all the senses in his body were mobilized.

He closed his eyes, and after an unknown amount of time, he heard Yu Xingqiao's voice.

"Little law." He whispered his name.

"Huh?" he replied.

Then, the young man's soft and slightly lonely voice sounded, "If we separate in the future, you should take good care of yourself."

Jun Lu frowned, "Why did you separate?"

"The world is unpredictable..."

The boy continued to rub his back, speaking in a tone of indifference that he couldn't understand.

Jun Lu pursed his lips.

He turned around abruptly, grabbed Yu Xingqiao's hand, met his surprised eyes, and said, "Are you still thinking about that ridiculous prophecy?"

Yu Xingqiao blinked his eyes, and then, the surprise in his eyes faded, replaced by a feeling of distress.

How was he going to explain it to him?

That was not some ridiculous prophecy, but the judgment that fate had handed down to him long ago.

The doctor had said long ago that he might not live to be 20 years old, just like that Star Lin, his life would stay in his [-]th year forever.

Of course, he couldn't compare with Star Lin.

He is a genius who changed the magic card world by virtue of his talent, but he is a small waste like dust who stays in the sterile room all day.

perhaps……

Yu Xingqiao looked at Junlu, the most meaningful thing he had done in his life was meeting this young man in front of him, and through his insignificant efforts, he must have prevented his blackening.

However, this matter is not over.

He was a little worried, after he left, would Jun Lu fall into another kind of pain, and in the end he still couldn't get rid of the shackles of fate?

That was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Seeing the madness gradually appearing in the young man's eyes, Yu Xingqiao had no choice but to temporarily suppress the worry, and said, "It's not about the prophecy, but...it's that I will grow old one day."

The storm in Jun Lu's eyes disappeared, and he asked in a daze, "What do you mean?"

"Actually... I'm just a very ordinary human being."

Facing the boy's gaze, Yu Xingqiao said calmly, "Even if you live a long life, you can only live to be a hundred years old at most, so we will be separated one day."

Jun Lu stared at him blankly, and murmured, "You...how are you human?"

"I am human..."

Yu Xingqiao scratched his hair, looking at the young man who was about to petrify, he was a little sad, more distressed.

"This...impossible..."

The boy opened his mouth slightly and murmured.

Yu Xingqiao sighed, and slowly broke away from the hand that was held by him.

This was actually what he thought of later, maybe Zai Zai regarded him as a powerful long-lived race, but only he knew that he was just a fragile human being.

Maybe after today, he should keep a distance from Xiaoli.

In this way, even if he really passed away two years later, Xiao Li wouldn't be in so much pain, right?He shouldn't have stayed by his side because of his own selfishness...

Yu Xingqiao was thinking desolately, but suddenly felt a pair of strong arms encircling him, pulling him into his arms.

The boy hugged him tightly and buried his face in the hollow of his shoulder.

"Little Law?" Yu Xingqiao blinked.

"You have to live well and wait for me to find you." The young man's voice was muffled, but filled with incomparably sincere emotion.

Yu Xingqiao leaned against his arms in a daze.

"Although I still have a lot of doubts in my heart, I clearly understand one thing—"

"Whether you are a powerful god or a fragile ordinary human being, you are the only faith and love in my heart, and I can no longer lose you."

Yu Xingqiao felt his heart beating fast.

"But……"

This is not possible...

"Actually, I am the one who really remembers that prophecy." The boy continued.

"I've been terrified that after I've lost my father and mother, I can't lose my last loved one."

"And now, I understand what I should do—when I break the seal and settle the grievances between Thrall and me, I will go to you."

"Forgive me for not being able to go to your world immediately after breaking the seal—because I am worried that Thrall will bring you harm."

Yu Xingqiao looked dull, "But..."

Jun Lu gently let go of his hugging hand, held Yu Xingqiao's face in his hands, and looked at him deeply, his red eyes full of affection.

"Since the prophecy says that only the destined person can save you, then—"

"I'm here to be the man of destiny."

The boy narrowed his eyes slightly, his red pupils revealed a bit of ruthlessness and determination, he said through gritted teeth.

"No one can take you away from me, even if..."

"Neither can Death."
