After Bai Jian Yu had gotten his hands on the rumored medicine pill that could cure any sickness, he couldn't wait to go back and see his dear son. He was very hopeful that this godly pill would be able to finally cure whatever sickness that plagued his adorable ger son.
As he walked along the palace corridor, he was greeted by soldiers and servants. He just nodded his head a bit as a greeting to them. He was known as an ice general throughout the empire and he was never concerned himself about it. He had done his job of overseeing the training of the new recruits, the meeting about how to strengthen their country borders from the possible future attacks and the usual weekly meeting.
Now, he had nothing important to do in the palace, he decided to come back early and meet with his family. Riding his favorite black as an ink stallion, Bai Jian Yu brought with him the hope to cure his dear ger son's sickness.
The Thousand Years of Lotus Seeds Pill.

In the his own bedroom, Zhan Chen was very much tired and full. His stomach was sated with food and he even ate different kinds of sweets to satisfy his sweet tooth. The exploration of ancient China was very much appreciated! It was so cool and amazing! He could never guess before that he would be alive to see the ancient world of China in front of his very own eyes.
The buildings, carriages, people, clothes and everything was what he had never imagine in his block history brain.
"Xiao Chen is a Ger as well. After he gets married, he will also give birth to a beautiful baby."
Yeah, everything was cool if he didn't remember that two sentences.
Ger... What the frog?!
Is this some kind of joke by those rotten women in his jobs before?! Or a God was playing with him?! Because this world was too perfect, the God decided to erase women and replace them with Gers!
That must be the case of it! If not, how could women cease to exist and instead feminine males replaced them to give birth to a baby or babies!
Zhan Chen shuddered. Hugging his arms, he couldn't accept being held by a man. He was a man himself and very much straight. But, in this world... How could he a Ger hold a man ba?! He was viewed as a female in this world and was expected to give himself to a man and give birth to a man's child!
Putting his face on the pillow, he screamed to release the stress, "AAHHH!!!"
After venting his frustration over to his innocent pillow, Zhan Chen forced a smile on his face and made a vow.
As long as he lived in this world, he would never ever let a man hold him!
Satisfied with his own self made vow, he stood from his bed and decided to take a bath to clean himself. He had spent today walking around and he felt the need to cleanse his body. Zhan Chen loved cleanliness the most and he didn't like it when it was dirty or messy.
Walking to the adjoined bathroom in his room, he smiled as he checked the water temperature. Before this he had asked servants to prepare the bath for him and it was already done. Such efficiency ba!
The style of this world bathroom was a wooden tube that was filled with warm water. For normal civilian, they usually cooked the water outside of the house before bringing them inside to take a bath. However, Zhan Chen luckily lived in a rich household. Their bathrooms were connected with the outside fireplace to directly warming the water in the wooden tube by burning the firewoods. So, the water would stay warm and nice.
Shedding himself of his three layered hanfu, Zhan Chen walked himself into the water. Slowly, he let his snow white skin dip into the warm water and his long dark hair followed. The strands of long inky tresses flowed around him like a spider web. "Ahhh... It feels so good."
The bath water was not only nicely warmed, it also smelt so good. He wasn't sure what the servants put inside but he liked it a lot. Unlike his previous self, this body was small and thin. Raising his thin arm, Zhan Chen sighed in regret. He missed his old body. Even if his old body was not overly muscled, but he was not this dainty as well. This new body, if he didn't have that thing below, he was sure he was a flat chested girl...
"......"
Okay, that was not far from the twisted truth. He was not a woman but he was a ger! It was the equivalent to a woman! And... He touched his lower stomach where his supposed womb was. Zhan Chen really wanted to curse out loud.
Fish!!!
Whatever God or deity that had done this to him, he cursed all of its family or generations. They were the female! Their grandmother was female! All their family were females!
"Damn! This stupid Ger world!"
After cursing and more cursing the gods and deities, Zhan Chen finally finished bathing. He reluctantly walked out of the wooden tube and grabbed a white robe beside the tube and wrapped it around his small body. His took a clothe and dried his long hair. He didn't like the long hair but when he went out today, all of the people were spotted in long hair. Which was styled mostly in bun, ponytail or nothing be done. No one wore a short hairstyle.
After drying his hair, he wore a simple two layered cream colored hanfu that embroidered with silver cloud patterns. Because his hair was still a bit wet, he didn't tie it up. He just let it flow down his back like a night waterfall.
Soon, he heard a knock on his door, "Young Lady, it's almost dinner. Master and Lady Bai are already in the dining hall."
"I understand. Thank you!"
Afterward, Zhan Chen walked down the hallway to their family dining room. He opened the door and smiled when he saw his parents were already seated.
"Father, mother..."
"Xiao Chen, have you had bath? Today, I asked the cook to make your favorites." Bai Xiu Ying said as he smiled at his only ger son.
Bai Jian Yu smiled as he nodded his head, "Xiao Chen, go and sit. Your mother especially supervised the kitchen today for you."
Sitting, Zhan Chen exchanged a few pleasantries with his parents, as Bai Jian Yu asked his son about his experience today at the capital market.
"I'm very happy, father! It was so interesting! There were so many things being sold and even the people were lively! It was so amazing!"
Bai Xiu Ying just chuckled lightly. "I have never seen Xiao Chen this excited. He reminded me when he was five, during his birthday."
"Ah, you're right, Xiu'er. At that time, His Majesty was only ten and our Xiao Chen even managed to get His Majesty to climb the tree with him."
Bai Xiu Ying clapped his hands. "Yes! And he even forced His Majesty to sing 'The Little Donkey'.", He laughed as he remembered that moment. The previous Emperor was too shocked when he saw his cold Crown Prince was singing a children's folk song. "And what made it even more funny was His Majesty was singing with his expressionless face."
"Um..." Zhan Chen sweatdropped. He forced the current Emperor to sing a song for him?! Oh my God, was he trying to get kill?! His already adorable face becoming red as he tried to hide himself by stuffing his face with the rice.
Bai Jian Yu and Bai Xiu Ying just laughed lightly as they saw their child getting embarrassed. Bai Jian Yu heaved a soft sigh. "How are you today, Xiao Chen? Does your head hurt again? Is your memory still not coming back? "
Zhan Chen only shook his head. "I'm feeling good, father. You don't have to worry. My memory is still not coming back but I don't think it's interfering with my daily life." Inside, he was secretly hoping that they would drop the subject ba!
Bai Xiu Ying was saddened when he heard that but he reminded the thing his husband had told him before and he immediately cheered up. He sent a secret look at Bai Jian Yu.
Bai Jian Yu noticing the stare, nodded his head as he pulled out a pouch from between his robe's lapels.
"Hm?" Zhan Chen not noticing the Bai couple's exchange, glanced at the pouch before he continued to stuff his face with more food.
"Xiao Chen." Bai Jian Yu called.
"Yes, Father?" Zhan Chen momentarily stopped eating. His huge black orbs focused cutely at his handsome father.
"This is the Thousand Years Of Lotus Seeds Pill. I got it from Emperor Xian and it's said to be a cure for any sickness and diseases."
Ohhh... There was something like that? Zhan Chen's black jewel like eyes shone with amazement. He had watched it before in a drama but it was actually existed!
Ah, so excited!
Bai Jian Yu watched his son's eyes shining and felt relief. It seemed his son was eager to get better also. Pushing the pouch to his son, he smiled at him. "Eat this after meal. This medicine is really scarce since it is made by the previous Emperor himself. Only a handful of pills and His Majesty was kind enough to give us this treasure."
"I really hope the pill will cure you, Xiao Chen." Bai Xiu Ying smiled sincerely, his hand found his husband's. "Mother and father really want to see Xiao Chen getting better and well."
Zhan Chen felt moved and could feel his eyes got teary. He was very blessed. His new parents were a very good people and he could feel their love for the son. He who had never had parents really envied the original Bai Zhan Chen. Although, he felt a bit guilty of robbing the original's parents... He also felt immense joy.
"Thank you, father, mother." He held the pouch close to his heart. "Xiao Chen will get better. I promise you."

Small theatre
Above the cherry blossom tree in the Bai's courtyard...
Five years old Xiao Chen: Wei dage, sing me "Little Donkey"!
Ten years old Crown Prince Long Wei: (With indifferent face begins singing the Little Donkey as he holds the small ger in his tiny arms.)
Below the tree, three people were stunned and shocked when they heard the crown prince singing a child folk song with his expressionless face.
Emperor Xian: ......
Baba Bai: ......
Mama Bai: ......

The Little Donkey Lyric
I have a little donkey, I'd never tried to ride.
One day on a whim, I rode him into the market.
I had a little whip, I was feeling very proud of myself.
I don't know how, whoosh! I was thrown into the mud!
