Chapter 50
In the darkness, the sharp-eyed deity observed the mortal’s 1.9-meter frame.
He Renyuan’s breathing was even, no signs of madness.
Did he buy fake medicine?
Bai Qingyu thought for a moment, reached into the quilt, and tried to grab He Renyuan’s wrist to check.
He Renyuan was sleeping on a narrow bamboo bed, his hands resting on his abdomen, his sleeping posture impeccable, very well-behaved under Old Man Deng’s roof.
The other party’s impeccable behavior made the tea deity seem a bit sneaky.
Bai Qingyu felt inexplicably guilty. What was there to be guilty about? He was here to help He Renyuan.
He boldly reached out to grab He Renyuan’s wrist, but his hand went a bit too far, reaching below He Renyuan’s abdomen.
The throbbing there was much stronger than a pulse, as if he had touched He Renyuan’s heart.
And it was as arrogant as He Renyuan’s heart.
The tea deity was startled and withdrew his hand, about to slip away, when his wrist was grabbed, then his waist. He fell back onto the bamboo bed, the old bed creaking.
Then, his ears were covered by the thin quilt, blocking the embarrassing sound.
Bai Qingyu found himself pinned under He Renyuan on the bamboo bed, the quilt wrapped tightly around them.
He Renyuan selfishly kept the tea deity’s scent within the quilt, his elbows on either side of Bai Qingyu’s face, pressing down the quilt, not allowing any air to escape, his body heat roasting the tea deity’s leaves.
Bai Qingyu had to breathe rapidly, using the moisture from his breath to cool his leaves, more tea fragrance rising from his flushed skin.
The concentration of tea fragrance in the quilt was astonishingly high.
He Renyuan slowly roasted the tea deity, his lips pressed against Bai Qingyu’s fair forehead, like a thermometer measuring the temperature for stir-frying tea.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, trapping Bai Qingyu, forcing out his strongest fragrance, only for himself to smell, only for himself to brew.
After a while, He Renyuan couldn’t take it anymore and moved down.
As He Renyuan’s lips left his forehead, Bai Qingyu, as if released from a seal, was about to struggle when a heavier seal was pressed between his legs.
Was this human witchcraft?
He Renyuan interrogated in a low voice, “What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?”
Bai Qingyu’s voice was even lower, afraid of being heard, “I came to see if you fell off the bed.”
He Renyuan, “This bed is big enough for two.”
Bai Qingyu, “It’s a bit cramped, let me go first.”
He Renyuan buried his head in the crook of his neck and inhaled deeply, “You’re a tea deity, it’s okay to be pressed down for a night, right?”
Luckily, the lights were off, he was almost losing control just from the scent.
Bai Qingyu suddenly sobered up. Right, he was a tea deity, he was much stronger than He Renyuan. He pushed the rogue off, sat on He Renyuan, spread his legs, and stepped on his wrists.
A mere human dared to interrogate him?
Bai Qingyu, like a judge looking down from above, folded his arms and looked at He Renyuan, “Cha Bao said you took medicine to make your body stronger.”
“It’s nothing special, don’t take it again.”
He Renyuan, “What do you mean, nothing special?”
Bai Qingyu, “It means you still can’t defeat me even after taking it.”
He Renyuan, “Then what are you sitting on?”
Bai Qingyu wanted to lift his butt, but He Renyuan was very cunning, the thing beneath him could bend and stretch. Even if he straightened up, it would still poke him.
Bai Qingyu scratched his cheek in frustration. This wasn’t like He Renyuan’s limbs that could be suppressed with brute force, he couldn’t think of a way to make it behave.
He was in a bit of a predicament.
Bai Qingyu, “So what did you take?”
He Renyuan, “I felt like I was going to catch a cold, so I took some Chinese medicine to prevent it.”
Bai Qingyu heard his hoarse voice and frowned, “Who told you to take off your jacket as soon as you got here?”
He Renyuan, “It’s more convenient for working.”
Bai Qingyu, “I might as well give you some divine power.”
He Renyuan already knew that divine power was very precious to the tea deity and hurriedly asked, “What will happen if you deplete your divine power?”
Bai Qingyu, “I’ll want to sleep to recover.”
He Renyuan suddenly remembered that last time, when he had an allergic reaction, after Bai Qingyu held his hand, he inexplicably recovered very quickly. Did Bai Qingyu give him divine power then?
“Then let me give a disclaimer first, if you fall asleep, I’ll take advantage of you, take off your clothes, and kiss you.”
Bai Qingyu was shocked. Was the lawyer’s face so thick that he could give such a disclaimer? The flowing divine power stopped at his fingertips, faintly sparkling.
Bai Qingyu, “Take it back.”
He Renyuan, “No, we humans have to sign informed consent and disclaimer forms before treatment.”
Bai Qingyu looked at him. Was he bullying him for not understanding? The disclaimer was to exempt the doctor from responsibility, not the patient.
Treating He Renyuan meant agreeing to be taken advantage of?
He Renyuan, “Come on.”
Bai Qingyu got off him angrily, “You deserve to catch a cold.”
He Renyuan sat up laughing, glanced at his physical reaction, and sighed.
He said faintly, “Since I couldn’t resist, you must have forced yourself on me in the divine realm, you have to take responsibility for me.”
This logic seemed flawless at first glance. Bai Qingyu blushed, wanting to know what happened for the first time, and could only murmur, “That’s not true.”
He Renyuan took the opportunity to ask, “Then is there any way to help me recover my memory? I’m willing to do anything.”
He wasn’t sure if he should also ask Bai Qingyu to stab him while he was donating blood.
He pulled the dumbfounded Bai Qingyu closer and coaxed in a low voice, “Why don’t you try stabbing me? Modern medicine is very advanced, I won’t die with immediate surgery.”
Bai Qingyu reminded him, “If you use such unscrupulous methods, it’s my memory that will recover, not yours.”
He Renyuan, “I know.”
See, He Renyuan was so arrogant, “Are you so sure that the memory I lost is about loving you?”
Trying to take a shortcut because pursuing him was difficult?
He Renyuan asked in return, “What if I wronged you in the divine realm?”
Bai Qingyu paused, he had never considered this possibility. With the current situation of abandoning his wife and son, it was hard to say.
He Renyuan looked at Bai Qingyu. He was pursuing him, but he also wanted Bai Qingyu to know the truth about the past, about the hardship of being pregnant alone, about his terrible personality after falling off the cliff… He Renyuan guessed that he wasn’t in a good mood after being betrayed by his partner.
He was also afraid that Bai Qingyu would accept him without knowing the full story.
But he didn’t say everything, afraid that Bai Qingyu would guess that he was storing blood. He only said that he wanted Bai Qingyu to stab him.
Bai Qingyu, “You’re a good person, don’t I know that?”
He Renyuan was unexpectedly friend-zoned.
Bai Qingyu didn’t understand why He Renyuan said that and angrily went back to sleep with Cha Bao.
He Renyuan smelled the tea fragrance in the room, the more he smelled, the hungrier he got. He couldn’t sleep, so he found two red dates to eat.
The next day, when he woke up, there was no sign of the tea deity father and son. He panicked, searched everywhere, and finally saw Old Man Deng in the field, “Old Man Deng, where are Qingyu and Cha Bao?”
Old Man Deng looked at him disapprovingly. Waking up later than his wife and child, what use was this kind of man?
He Renyuan was truly wronged. He had been looking for his wife since before dawn and was covered in sweat, “Do you know? They didn’t take their phones or watches.”
Old Man Deng pointed at the mountain, “They’re probably on the mountain.”
He Renyuan followed the rugged path, searching, checking every tea tree he saw. There were too many tea trees here, none of them were his wife.
Even after the mountain mist dissipated, He Renyuan couldn’t find them. Suddenly, he heard two familiar voices from behind a rock.
“Baby, did you learn it?”
“Dad, Baby learned it!”
He Renyuan went around the rock and saw Bai Qingyu and Bai Xiaocha.
Bai Qingyu was teaching Cha Bao some skills for entering and exiting the divine realm. He picked up a stone from the ground and put it in Cha Bao’s hand, “Baby, take it inside, then bring it out.”
Bai Xiaocha, “Okay.”
He Renyuan watched his son disappear along with the stone.
Where did Cha Bao go? To that immortal cave? He was so small, could he go alone?
Bai Qingyu stood gracefully on a tree stump, saw He Renyuan, and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll be out in a moment.”
After a while, Cha Bao came out with the stone.
Bai Qingyu gave him a bigger stone, “Try again.”
“Okay, Dad.”
He Renyuan felt like he was watching a beautiful white bird patiently teaching its young survival skills, while he was a useless male bird, only able to watch from the side.
He Renyuan, “Can Cha Bao take Uncle inside?”
Bai Xiaocha went up and hugged his uncle’s leg, as if measuring something, “Uncle is too big, Baby can’t do it yet.”
He Renyuan smiled, “Then move the stone first, Baby is so good.”
Under his uncle’s praise, Bai Xiaocha rolled inside with the big stone. Baby was so amazing. He leaned against the stone, looked up, and suddenly saw a shiny ball on the tea tree in front of him.
Hmm? What was this?
He would take it out and show it to Uncle Boss!
Bai Xiaocha first climbed onto the stone and stood on tiptoe, but he couldn’t reach it. He remembered the tree-climbing skills his dad taught him, took off his shoes, gripped the tree trunk with his toes, and climbed up easily like a panda cub.
The glowing ball was right in front of him. Bai Xiaocha reached out and grabbed it, his body unsteady, and he rolled down with the ball.
Thud—Bai Xiaocha, holding the broken glowing ball, fell out of the divine realm.
“Cha Bao!” He Renyuan’s heart leaped into his throat. He knelt down to check.
“Baby’s okay.” Bai Xiaocha wasn’t afraid of falling. He scrambled up and opened his palm, “Uncle, look—huh?”
The glowing ball was broken in half?
A white light rushed towards He Renyuan’s forehead.
Bai Xiaocha touched his empty palm, “It’s all gone?”
Bai Qingyu stared blankly. Baby, you filial son, you took out He Renyuan’s memory and broke it in half?
He hurriedly took the cub back to the divine realm, had him point out the location, and searched for the other half.
The father and son rummaged through the fallen leaves, and He Renyuan received half of his lost memory.
After a sharp pain in his head, his mind cleared.
“…”
“…”
A healthy person who hadn’t suffered a major injury could hardly imagine being paralyzed in bed.
He Renyuan wanted a cigarette to calm down. He didn’t just scrape his skin when he fell, he was picked up and cared for by the soft-hearted tea deity like a piece of trash.
His returning memory stopped abruptly at a certain point, but it could be summarized from a third-person perspective: his whole body was broken except for his mouth and a few other parts, but he could still eat, drink, and have sex.
Although he was almost recovered when he was making tea.
After a while, Bai Qingyu and Cha Bao returned, their expressions a little guilty, even more so than when he owed He Renyuan the three-million-yuan jade spoons.
It wasn’t dark yet in the divine realm, it wasn’t easy to find, he would look again at night.
He Renyuan and the tea deity looked at each other for a while. For the first time, he offered parenting advice, “Don’t teach Cha Bao to carry things over a hundred kilograms inside.”
Don’t pick up large pieces of trash outside.
The tea deity was too easily deceived. He Renyuan was afraid, thankfully Bai Qingyu hadn’t been tricked by anyone else in these three years.
