Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

300 YU MING’S THEORY

“Even if your little brother here is telling the truth, I don’t think Prince Bai Chen is in pain from the effects of the upcoming full moon, Xiao Hai,” Yu Ming suddenly chimed in after he heard how Wu Jinhai whispered to himself.

Wu Jinhai indeed only asked in a low voice, but Yu Ming had a keen hearing, and that was why the man in black caught the whisper.

Hearing Yu Ming’s opinion, Wu Jinhai looked at the man who was still at the door frame. However, Yu Ming no longer casually leaned his back against the door frame, and he stood straight while wearing an earnest expression now.

It seemed that Yu Ming was no longer playing around, and maybe he really used his brains when the three of them discussed Bai Chen.

Yu Ming and Wu Jinhai indeed had a tacit understanding that others might not be able to understand, and that was why the black was able to understand how Wu Jinhai had asked him to provide further explanations even if no verbal orders had left the Eldest Prince’s lips.

Having said that, Yu Ming once again opened his mouth to speak, “The full moon will only occur in two weeks, and I don’t think it will affect the werewolves in this period. The two weeks after the last full moon or the two weeks before the next full moon can be said to be the most amicable time for werewolves, and that’s why I’m pretty sure that Prince Bai Chen isn’t in pain from the moon.”

Yu Ming could indeed put himself in any situation. Even if he often appeared carefree and flirtatious, his true character was serious and mature, and that was why Wu Jinhai often relied on the man in most situations. Sometimes when he couldn’t think straight, it was Yu Ming who was by his side to guide him, and that was why the masked man carefully listened to the black-robed man.

He assumed that Yu Ming was not wrong in his opinion. The Dong Lang Empire would only shut itself off from the outside world one week before the full moon and also one week after the full moon, and that was why it could be said that now was not the time when the moon could affect a werewolf’s body.

Thus, Wu Jinhai silently agreed with Yu Ming’s reasonable opinion, but now he had to find another reason behind Bai Chen’s painful state when he was inside the pavilion alone.

.....

Currently, there was only one witness when Bai Chen was in pain today, and that person was none other than his half-brother. Hence, Wu Jinhai once again focused his gaze on the younger man as he asked, “Did Bai Chen say something amidst his screams?”

He knew that he shouldn’t completely trust Wu Jingguo even if he was in a difficult situation, but he wanted to hear what kind of answer his half-brother would give him, and that was why he waited for the man to open his mouth.

He could see how Wu Jingguo was frowning as if trying to recall today’s memories, and after a moment of silence, the blue-robed man finally opened his mouth to say, “When Prince Bai Chen kept screaming, he didn’t say anything else, and I think the pain he was feeling was so unbearable that he couldn’t even ask someone for help. I only heard him say something after he stopped screaming.”

Wu Jinhai tried to read his half-brother. It was rare for the two of them to have a normal conversation like this. Wu Jinhai spent most of his time outside the palace after he grew up, and that was why he rarely met the younger man.

And even if he occasionally visited his father in the palace, he never wanted to see Wu Jingguo at all, and that was why the two of them never had the normal conversation that brothers usually had.

Wu Jingguo always tried to talk to him, but Wu Jinhai always believed that his half-brother just wanted to get something out of him whenever the younger man tried to talk to him, and that was why he ignored the man at all costs.

After all, Wu Jingguo was the son of the concubine of the faction that had killed his mother, so why should Wu Jinhai treat the younger man so kindly? Deep down, Wu Jinhai was certain that Wu Jingguo was the same as the people of that faction. He was only after power in this empire, and how often he tried to talk to him was just an act.

That was why it wasn’t easy for Wu Jinhai to read his brother’s expression at this time, but somehow he didn’t feel the slightest hint of deceit on his brother’s face. Wu Jingguo kept looking at him while telling stories, and there was no doubt on his face at this time.

Finally, Wu Jinhai had a bit of trust in his heart for his half-brother, and that was why he spoke to the younger man again, “What did he say after he stopped screaming?”

He got to the point, and fortunately, the answer from his half-brother came instantly this time, “As I said before, I heard how Prince Bai Chen wanted you to die, gege.”

“...” Wu Jinhai did not respond this time, but his face hidden behind the golden mask stiffened upon hearing what his brother had just said.

He remembered how good their relationship was before separating when he needed to check the border between Dong Lang and Wu Li, so why did Bai Chen want him to die?

Wu Jinhai couldn’t guess the reason at all. Was it because Bai Chen still held a grudge against him because he had lied to that man before coming out clean yesterday?

When Wu Jinhai still couldn’t find an answer to his question, Wu Jingguo suddenly broke the silence in the pavilion as he said, “I was outside while Prince Bai Chen was inside this pavilion, and that’s why I couldn’t fully hear what he was saying. But the words I could hear clearly from him were when he said that the owner of this pavilion was a liar, and that person was also the one who caused his suicide.”
