The young man with an exquisite feature wearing gorgeous crimson robes stares in a stunned manner when the younger man wearing a snow-white robe that has been wet from the freezing water has suddenly moved so swiftly and quickly without even giving him enough time to dodge before those weak hands have firmly grasped his wrist with an unknown strength.
But those hands have been soft, unblemished without any sign of holding any weapons in his entire life that he was a bit confused about how this person was able to catch him off guard.
However, when those beautiful sapphire eyes wide and clear straightly met his, Ren Yuan has once again felt astonishment because, in the younger man's sapphire eyes, there was not even a single emotion of fear of death within it.
So different from the way that he has been splashing frantically in the water, where Ren Yuan has first thought that the drowning man has been fearing for his life with the way he frantically moves around.
However, Ren Yuan thought was cut off when the young man has suddenly fallen unconscious, although he was surprised and bewildered about the man he just saved, there was something more important that he has to do at the moment so he should leave soon.
Besides, saving this person was just a mere curiosity of him and since there seemed to be other people that will be able to continue on about what he has done, Ren Yuan has quickly pried of the hands that have been grasping his wrist.
Well, tried off since the young man won't let go of at all though.
Slowly lowering his head down, Ren Yuan cherry red lip opens up a bit, but no words come out from it as peach blossom grey eyes squint at the stubborn young man that has become difficult to handle as the hand grasping his wrist just refuse to let go despite being unconscious.
… if it was someone else, he would have already decided to cut off the person's hand… but right now as peach blossom grey eyes stare at the cold slender hand, Ren Yuan finds out that he seemed to not dislike the way the young man was touching him?
Such a spectacular individual…
"... and stubborn too… alright… you won, I'll keep you for now."
Besides, he was a bit curious about the young man that keeps giving him surprise constantly, so taking the younger man once again in his arms, Ren Yuan leaps up as he goes back to his current residence with a freezing unconscious man on his arm which was just in time when a commoner family of three which consist of a young boy, a middle-aged man and woman appear to where he just left.
The entire time, the commoner family just continues walking ahead while carrying items on their arms as they walk back to their own house before they disappeared shortly.
"My lady, please let's go back, it really cold out here. You have been following this family for many days now. You will get a cold if you continue to do so. Let Bamboo leaf just follow them later on and stay at home, my lady."
Suddenly a voice belonging to a young girl resound out while a worried expression appears on a young face that is wearing servant clothes while standing before her was a charming and lovely 10 years old young girl dress in luxurious clothes belonging to an aristocrat family.
"NO! Ah… I mean, there is no need to worry Bamboo leaf. This is really important to me so please just follow me quietly alright?"
Bamboo leaf hearing her young lady words can only nod her head obediently even though she has been curious and interested at the sudden action of her young lady but as a mere servant that doesn't have any right, all she can do is follow along whatever her young lady wants and ordered.
Mumbling a few words, lovely round eyes couldn't help but glance around the snow-covered place, especially paying great attention at the freezingly cold river a few distances away.
"... sigh… when did it happen?"
However, shaking her head, The 10 years old young girl soon went to follow secretly at the common family figures that are almost disappearing in the distance.
"Come Bamboo leaf, let's go."
"Yes, My lady Ya."
In another distance, a bit away from the town and close to a mountain and in the lower part was the appearance of a large private residence belonging to a rich family.
"... Why is he not getting well?"
Suddenly a young man in crimson robe questions the elder man that is currently looking after a younger man that is currently lying down in a bed.
Frowning, Ren Yuan glance at the burning beautiful face of the young man that has almost drown to death, it has been two days since he rescued him, but he has been unconscious the whole time while burning with a fever that doesn't seem to lower down a bit.
"Ah… Young master, I apologize, even I feel bewildered about why the young man is not getting better. I have done everything I could, but his fever just refuses to lower down. I am afraid that he will be in great danger if he doesn't get better soon, please forgive this servant uselessness."
Ren Yuan that heard the elder man words couldn't help but sigh after staying quiet, he couldn't really fault the elder since he knew how talented he really was in the way of medicine.
"Elder Lee, you can leave now."
"Ah, yes, young master."
After staying silent as peach blossom grey eyes watch the sick younger man before him, couldn't help but shake his head while crimson robe gently swiss as he turns around to leave the room but not before leaving a few words.
"Ah… this young master has saved you. Before you almost lost your life drowning, and once again your life is in danger from the fever that wouldn't go down… you really are being troublesome and difficult you know that?"
Peach blossom grey eyes glance back one more time before he completely left.
"...you owe this man your life. Right now, your savior commands you to live."
After all, Ren Yuan is quite curious about the young man that he just saved, somehow he got the feeling that the two of them have a certain connection… well, about the fact that they can become great friends later on so.
He couldn't really explain why he felt that way but Ren Yuan just trusts his instinct that is all.
Soon, another day passes by, and miraculously a trance sapphire eyes open up once again and after gazing silently at the ceiling, the young man has weakly got down from the bed while wearing an article of thin white clothing before suddenly walking away with slow steps out of the room that he has been staying at.
Then, with bare feet, he dazedly walked in the snow cover ground, seemingly unable to feel the coldness as his expression remained blank the entire time before stopping as he raises his head up to gaze at the eye-catching goblet shape blooming pink and purple blossom of a tree right before him and soon has stayed silent without making a move and noise.
However, soon after, a young man smooth voice echoed out at the silent place, before a rude word filled with great dislike but containing hidden care resounded.
"Sigh, do you want to die that badly? You just survive from a cold, but now you are here walking at the freezing outside just wearing a piece of thin clothing while walking barefoot in the snow?"
Ren Yuan that has gone to visit the young man he has rescued was surprised to find him missing before quickly following the evidence that he can easily track the young man down.
Soon, he saw a young man with thin white clothing along with just a barefoot standing still at the snow-covered ground while his head raised up high as he seemed to stare dazedly at the beautiful blooming tree before him.
And when the young man turned around Ren Yuan was stunned a bit, because right now, in his eyes the young man seemed to have become an immortal person that is indifferent to any worldly matter.
All white without any single taint and unblemished, dust-free, especially when he is wearing white clothes along with his surroundings covered in white while beautiful blooming flowers seemed to softly rain down on his figure.
Especially when aside from being in a dazed, there was no expression on the young man's surprisingly beautiful face, like there is nothing that can enter his heart in the entire world.
So with a bit of trepidation as his soul seemed to tremble a bit, Ren Yuan naively introduces himself to the person that will cause turmoil and disorder into his life which he will learn in the future later on.
"I'm Ren Yuan, what's your name?"
"... my name…?"
Clear sapphire eyes soon met his in a bit of confusion within it causing Ren Yuan to feel a bad premonition which he soon learns quickly.
"... I don't know… what is my name?"
