Chapter 616 - WHAT DO YOU WANT? (2/2)
”You do not have to push yourself.” Wang Che followed behind him.
”I know,” Shun said. ”I realised yesterday that I need to recover completely and get on with my life. I have to face the fact that I might not get my memories back. And if it happens, it could take years. Where will that leave me?”
”I have friends, businesses and a good life here in Supreme City, and I am now capable of doing everything I dreamed about. It would be stupid to squander this chance even without my memories. I do not want to wait to live.” Shun said.
Wang Che knew he should have been happy with the initiative that Shun was taking to recover from the underlying injuries. And he was.
But that determination also made him afraid. It would only be a matter of time before Shun could be independent of him. He did not know where that would leave him. If he left him… No, he would not allow it.
Wang Che caught his arm and turned him around before he entered the gym. Their two eyes met, and time seemed to slow down. Silence reigned and tension rose.
Shun swallowed. ”What do you want?”
Wang Che knew the answer to that question. He wanted Shun. He wanted a life with Shun. It was what he had always wanted since he discovered the little treasure that was his bunny.
At the time, he was filled with anger and a thirst for revenge. Darkness swirled in his heart, threatening to swallow him up. But then, he saw the purest creature in the entire universe. He was a bit foolish and naïve.
His face did not have a cynical and cold mask like the other young masters around him. He did not smile with calculation. And when he laughed… When he laughed, the sun could not compare in the brightness. And that light soothed Wang Che's soul.
He swore that he would have that light with him always.
These were the feelings he wanted to share as he looked at Shun's eyes. Those wide and clear eyes called out to his soul.
But he did not know how to speak.
And he was worried that if he did speak, he would still lose Shun. What kind of life would that be? Now that he had tasted the sweetness of his bunny, he did not know how he could survive losing Shun. It was better to leave things as they were.
”Wait for me. Let me change into my workout clothes.” Wang Che said before releasing Shun's arm.
With that, he turned and walked away. Behind him, Shun watched with narrowed eyes. He took in the slightly lowered head that betrayed how bad he was feeling. It was obvious that the words he spoke were not what he intended to say.
Shun scoffed and turned from the depressing sight.
”Still a coward..” He whispered before entering the gym.
