Becoming Puppet Emperor of a Paranoid Eunuch - Chapter 145

Wu Jing wiped his eyes, but the tear stains remained on his face. His eyelids were damp, and after crying for a while, he lowered his head to poke at his phone. After checking, he took a deep breath, sniffled, and threw the broken phone back into Ning Qinghong’s arms.

 

He started using the back of his hand to gently wipe away his tears.

 

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Ning Qinghong, but rather he didn’t trust Ning Qinghong at this moment. Even a rabbit, after being scared and tricked so many times, should learn its lesson.

 

Wu Jing swallowed the tears he had cried,

 

He wasn’t a fool.

 

Ning Qinghong, somewhat helplessly, set the phone aside and gently asked, “Alright, Wu Wu, are you reassured now?”

 

Wu Jing turned his face away, not wanting to hear him.

 

Ning Qinghong soothingly said, “This time Brother was too much and deliberately frightened Wu Wu.” His voice was gentle, “Brother apologizes to Wu Wu?”

 

Wu Jing only sniffled and didn’t respond.

 

Ning Qinghong patiently kissed him tenderly, “Then Wu Wu, let Brother give you a kiss?”

 

Wu Jing then slightly closed his wet eyes and tilted his face up, giving a soft “mhm.”

 

Ning Qinghong carefully wiped away the tear stains on his face with his fingertips, kissed away the tears on his eyelids, and finally reached his lips. Each kiss was extremely light, every gesture tender and affectionate.

 

He clearly knew how to soothe the youth to calm him down.

 

Wu Jing, dazed from the kisses, soon lay back on Ning Qinghong. However, he quickly became alert and pushed Ning Qinghong away, “No!” He turned his face, “Why is it that I’m always punished, but you just apologize and it’s fine? You’re just bullying me and tricking me.”

 

He muttered quietly, his voice growing softer, eventually lowering his head and swallowing nervously, too afraid to speak further.

 

Ning Qinghong laughed, “So how does Wu Wu want to punish Brother?”

 

Wu Jing’s eyes brightened, looking at him eagerly, “Really let me decide?”

 

Ning Qinghong agreed lightly.

 

Wu Jing thought for a while about what could be done to prank Ning Qinghong and finally said, “Then Brother has to take me to the amusement park to play?”

 

“Just tomorrow!”

 

Ning Qinghong paused, “Whatever Wu Wu wants.”

 

Wu Jing’s eyes then curved into a smile.

 

Ning Qinghong softly said, “Since Wu Wu is no longer angry, isn’t it Brother’s turn now?”

 

Wu Jing hadn’t reacted yet when he suddenly cried out, “You’re tricking me again, you’re bad—” He continued to whimper and complain.

 

Ning Qinghong didn’t move, bent down to turn off the paused movie, and the beautiful background music resumed. The living room lights were also turned off again.

 

“Wu Wu needs to be thorough in what he does. Since you said you wanted to watch it with Brother, you need to watch it completely, right?”

 

With an hour remaining, Wu Jing, who had been so confident earlier, cried out with swollen eyes, finding it hard to endure even the slightest movement.

 

Ning Qinghong wouldn’t let him handle it himself. Every few minutes, he would ask what had just been shown in the movie.

 

It seemed like casual conversation, but only Wu Jing knew the malicious intent behind it. His eyes were swollen from crying, and he couldn’t care less about the movie.

 

Finally, after enduring the hour, he entered a new round of torment.

 

This time, there were no strange things, and although Wu Jing still cried and fussed,

 

It was not as intense as before. In the end, when he was kissed, he obediently tilted his face up, crying softly.

 

Ning Qinghong used his coat as a cushion under him and, after the movie ended and the mess in the living room was cleaned up, he wrapped the disoriented and tearful youth in his slightly damp clothes and carried him to the master bedroom. He then helped him wash up in the bathroom.

 

Wu Jing, feeling drowsy throughout, fell asleep in the warm water even before they had finished.

 

By the time Ning Qinghong had finished cleaning up and dealing with the mess, it was already an hour later. After taking his medicine, he returned to the bedroom.

 

The next morning, waking up fresh and warm in bed, Wu Jing found that Ning Qinghong was no longer there, only a cup of warm water and half a box of medicine remained.

 

The master bedroom door was left open.

 

Wu Jing got out of bed and peered out the door, finding Ning Qinghong quietly sitting on the living room sofa, apparently looking at something.

 

He yawned, sleepily walked back, and went to wash up in the bathroom, still not fully awake.

 

Then he peeked out from the door, “Brother? I’m hungry. Did you order breakfast?”

 

Ning Qinghong shook his head slightly.

 

Wu Jing asked, “Should I order it myself? What would you like to eat, Brother?”

 

Ning Qinghong smiled lightly, “Whatever Wu Wu eats, Brother will eat too.”

 

Wu Jing nodded with a flushed face and went back to pick up the landline. He had just gotten up and now lay back down, ordering breakfast before starting to play with his phone.

 

First, he sent a message to his parents, then he rolled from lying upright to lying sideways, chatted with his family for a bit, and then put on his shoes. He ran to snuggle into Ning Qinghong’s arms, “Good morning, Brother.”

 

He tilted his face up and gave him a kiss.

 

Ning Qinghong embraced him and kissed him back.

 

Wu Jing, unable to stop himself from whimpering, nearly lost control first thing in the morning.

 

In a crucial moment, Ning Qinghong evidently knew when to stop, gently kissing Wu Jing’s eyelids, “Wu Wu? Is it alright now?”

 

Wu Jing buried himself in his embrace, taking a while to calm down. When there was a knock on the door, he bashfully scrambled off Ning Qinghong.

 

The staff brought in the food and arranged it on the table.

 

Wu Jing ate breakfast slowly, his gaze continually shifting to his phone.

 

Ning Qinghong softly said, “Wu Wu, eat properly.” He redirected Wu Jing’s attention, “Didn’t Wu Wu say yesterday that you wanted to go to the amusement park with Brother?”

 

“Brother has made all the arrangements.”

 

“Does Wu Wu want to go play soon?”

 

Wu Jing suddenly remembered this, and if Ning Qinghong hadn’t mentioned it, he might have forgotten. His eyes lit up, and he finished eating quickly, eagerly looking at Ning Qinghong.

 

Ning Qinghong remained unmoved, “How can Wu Wu be so casual? Eat a bit more.”

 

By nearly eleven o’clock, they were ready to go out. Ning Qinghong changed back into his snow coat and packed up all the personal items, including the clothes bought for Wu Jing and the phone that didn’t belong to the other side, into trash bags and disposed of them.

 

Wu Jing’s suitcase was packed with the remaining clothes and arranged to be sent back to the Wu family. As for the medication, it had to stay here; anything not from this dimension had to remain.

 

After having the staff handle everything and finishing the busy work, they went downstairs to check out and headed to the prearranged car.

 

Ning Qinghong explained slowly, “Brother doesn’t have identification, so just buying tickets won’t allow us to enter together.”

 

Wu Jing was nervous and had forgotten about this. He whispered, “Then… should we not go—”

 

Ning Qinghong continued, “So Brother contacted the staff from the other side this morning and arranged for a private venue. However, due to the last-minute arrangement, the amusement park only agreed to reserve a small area for us.” He paused, “But Wu Wu and Brother can still go to other areas to play.”

 

Wu Jing gasped and swallowed nervously, “Then… will it cost a lot of money?”

 

Ning Qinghong laughed, “Brother will cover any expenses before going back.”

 

Wu Jing immediately didn’t want to go back, silently calculating the zeros and thinking about how to explain the large sum to his parents.

 

The hotel and amusement park were in the same area, not far apart. They arrived in about ten minutes. The winter sun was out, with no wind, and the temperature was pleasantly mild.

 

Wu Jing wanted to go to the amusement park mainly to play some childish games with Ning Qinghong. He was curious and wanted to see if Ning Qinghong would make a fool of himself.

 

However, he ended up being too scared to speak on the roller coaster.

 

Ning Qinghong remained completely composed, slowly giving the youth water and calming him down.

 

Wu Jing, with a pale face, asked, “Why… Brother, aren’t you scared?”

 

Ning Qinghong smiled lightly, “Brother used to conquer the world on horseback. Though it’s rarely needed now, I have trained wild horses with great effort.”

 

Compared to the lack of protection back then, this was nothing like the horror movies from yesterday, and he couldn’t summon any emotion.

 

Wu Jing also took Ning Qinghong to the haunted house, where he ended up hiding in Ning Qinghong’s arms, moving step by step until he finally had to give up.

 

Soon, he dragged Ning Qinghong to the Ferris wheel queue.

 

The amusement park wasn’t cleared; they were in the non-private area, surrounded by a bustling crowd.

 

Wu Jing bought a small balloon shaped like an elephant and an ice cream cone. He ate some and then fed Ning Qinghong a bite.

 

Although he didn’t buy two, he noticed that Ning Qinghong didn’t seem to like sweets much.

 

Wu Jing ate the ice cream, shivering from the cold, but refused to put on gloves, insisting on holding Ning Qinghong’s hand. As he looked at the gradually descending ground, he felt like he was getting closer to the sky.

 

The Ferris wheel rose slowly,

 

The youth instinctively looked at the person beside him.

 

In the winter sun, Wu Jing couldn’t help but daydream, as if dazzled by the sunlight. Finally, holding the ice cream in one hand and letting go of the balloon with the other, he tiptoed closer to Ning Qinghong.

 

Ning Qinghong sighed softly, matching the gesture with a gentle kiss. After a moment, he closed his eyes and deepened the kiss.
