CHAPTER 20 - WANG HONGYU'S TURMOIL, PART 2
In the moonlit bedroom, the two stared at each other.
Sweat was beading on his forehead.
What should I do? Hongyu was confused.
He just discovered that he had a tendency to desire men.
He was shocked.
He would like to think that he was wrong, but when he pushed Sango down, he didn't feel any hatred towards him because he's a man.

On the contrary, he was confident that he could do what he wanted.
No, no, no, he shook his head.
Sango didn't resist or move.
The look in her eyes was one of unwavering trust, and she seemed completely unaware of what might happen next.
How did she grow up? There was no attempt at defense. Hongyu was surprised that she was so naive.
Her sword skills were quite good.
It seemed that he was protecting the royal family, and he learned from the sword that he was bought not only for his family status but also for his abilities.
There was no doubt that Sango grew up in a wealthy family.
‘Because he's a man, was it decided that he didn't need to worry about his personal chastity?’
However, Sango was currently in trouble. Moreover, he didn't notice it at all.
The evil inside Hongyu's heart whispered. ‘I don't think it would be a problem if I tried my hand at it.’
At his age, nothing could be worse than being ignorant.
Sango should have been able to protect himself, but he didn't do that. There's no point in holding back.
On the other hand, his good heart urged him to wait. Forcing someone to do something without their consent should never be done.
Moreover, Sango was a warrior. He was an opponent who had recognized his ability. It's strange to see someone as an ordinary tool. Besides, no matter how beautiful he was, he was still a man.
Love indeed used to come in different forms, but maybe Hongyu should reconsider.
“Hiro?”
Sango looked up.
Her clear blue eyes had a tinge of concern for Hongyu.
I'm relieved.
This was the first time since she came here that someone was worried about her.
Everyone, even Hongyu, only thought of themselves and did not consider others.
However, in this inner palace filled with malice and ambition, Sango remained untainted.
He was the only one.
Instead of lamenting the unfortunate situation, she remained positive.
Even when Hirou was in a strange mood, he looked at her kindly and with compassion.
He had never met such an honest and innocent person before.
While she was staring at him, the raccoon dog approached her and chirped.
She bursted out laughing at its indescribably stupid cry.
Hongyu moved from his position on top of Sango to the side. Then he uttered a word of apology.
"I'm sorry"
"Okay, but what's wrong?"
Hongyu didn't know how to explain this behavior.
To be honest, he felt uncomfortable.
After all that, he wanted to continue his relationship with Sango as before.
He had just tried to do the worst thing. He couldn't even deny it.
Hongyu struggled with his words.
"It's not that I really miss human skin."
These are the words he could use indirectly.
"This is not something I would have asked of you, a stranger. I am truly sorry."
"Hongyu"
Hongyu turned away, feeling awkward.
Sango, wondering what he was thinking, got up and hugged the raccoon.
Then, she approached Hongyu and hugged him with the tanuki in between.
"Kuun"
The raccoon dog, wedged between Hongyu and Sango. It wagged its tail happily.
"Na!"
On the other hand, Hongyu was shocked and stiffened.
"It's warm, isn't it?"
His heart was pounding.
The arm around his back was warm. Also, it smelled kind of nice.
The hair that touched his cheek was soft, and the raccoon dog's hair was fluffy, it didn't smell like an animal.
His empty heart was now filled with something he had never felt before.
"Thank you... Sango."
Unconsciously, he uttered words of gratitude.
Sango was surprised by the gentle tone of his voice.
Sango said with a big smile as she hugged the raccoon.
“This is the first time you called my name and appreciated me.”
Hongyu was surprised by this fact. He hadn't even called her by name until now.
"Well, I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm happy."
Hongyu also felt embarrassed when he heard that. But he quickly came to his senses.
‘Why will men be so embarrassed when they call each other by their names?’
“You must be a lucky guy to be happy about something like that.”
"Yes! If you'd like, please call my name often."
It's strange to be embarrassed here. There's no great thing in calling someone by name.
Hongyu said Sango's name, feeling half desperate.
"Sango"
“Ah, um, yes.”
Sango buried her face in the tanuki's body and looked happy.
Hongyu was speechless at the adorable reaction.
‘Sango is a man. He might have a pretty face, but he's definitely a man.’
Hongyu chanted it in his head like a spell.
“Um, Hiro?”
"What"
"Will you do me a favor"
“Please don't turn around anymore.”
She wanted to scream, as she could no longer make a big statement.
In a trembling voice, she asked him what was wrong.
"If you don't mind, could you call me this raccoon dog's name?"
“Tanuki?"
The raccoon's expectant gaze turned towards Hongyu.
‘Why do we have to call them tanuki again? I usually call him Tanuki’
At this point, Hongyu noticed. He was angry and told Sango not to talk like a tanuki, but he was talking like a tanuki himself. Although it was only when he was alone with the tanuki.
He felt silly for calling Sango's name and being so embarrassed when it made her happy.
“Let's sleep.”
Hongyu called out to them.
"I'm going to sleep now. Sango, Tanuki."
“Hongyu!”
Sango's eyes were sparkling, and the raccoon flapped its arms and legs with joy.
Finally, he did something that seemed like a final blow.
Sango felt under the pillow while holding the tanuki and handed him something wrapped in paper.
“What is this?”
“It’s a token of our daily gratitude.”
Hirou tilted his head as he took it. Basically, it was impossible to obtain anything within the inner palace. So what did he prepare?
He had something written on the cloth. It was clear that he worked hard to write in foreign characters that he was not used to.
He lit a lantern and read the words written on it.
“Shoulder tap ticket.”
Thinking he might have made a mistake, he read it out loud again.
"Shoulder tap ticket"
"Yes"
She said he prepared it because his shoulders always looked stiff.
The hand holding the shoulder ticket was shaking.
Hongyu said exactly what he was thinking.
“I'm your grandfather!"
She was relieved when he said it.
The face illuminated by the lantern looked dejected and dejected.
For some reason, even the raccoon's ears were flattened and it seemed to have lost his energy.
She probably prepared it because he thought it would make him happy.
He couldn't let that feeling go.
"...Ah, no, yeah. That's right, if you ask me, my shoulders are stiff."
When he said that he might ask her next time, Sango nodded happily. The raccoon also wagged its tail
He thanked her and put the ticket under his pillow.
Suddenly, a feeling of fatigue hit her.
He was swayed by Sango and the raccoon dog. He let out a deep sigh and covered himself with the futon.
He thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyelids, he fell asleep easily.
That was how Hongyu's long day ended.

The next day, Sango thanked Reimi.
"Thank you, Reimi-san. He was very pleased with the ticket."
"Really? That's good."
Sango and Reimi held hands and were happy.
Konkon saw this and muttered.
“Minister Wang, you’re surprisingly kind…”
Konkon learnt about a surprising side of Hongyu.
