MY SILENT HYMN (1)

"By the time you reach the top of the mountain, your heart will once again be at peace," From me. To you.

A man of six-point-two stature stands beneath the tall cherry blossom tree, dressed in an embroidered long white hanfu that shines like a star in the sun. A heart-shaped face, plentiful flat black brows, upturned brown eyes, long thick lashes, a turned up nose, round earlobes, bow-shaped red lips, and pale ivory smooth skin characterize this man.

You're almost afraid to approach and touch a man with such beautiful and delicate features.

He took cover beneath the tree, staring at the flower petals that were falling from the tree.

"Autumn is coming," the man under the cherry blossom tree said, relaxed and content as the wind passed through him, causing his black long hair tied in a ponytail to sway like leaves. He appeared relaxed and content. The man appears to have found his true calling and the meaning of life.

A surprised large hand touched his hand and entwined it with him as he reached for the petals that had fallen from the tree. The man was surprised at first, but when he smelled the familiar scent of the person standing close to him at his back, he sighed and made a light, soft scoffing sound with his lips. That almost sounds like a sly grin.

The man standing nearby appeared to be in his late twenties. He was seven feet, one inch tall. The man is mesomorph with a triangle body and a broad shoulder.

A square-shaped face with straight high-arch brows, downturned dark grey eyes, open eyelashes, a bulbous nose, a square ear, and an upturned light pink lip. His outward appearance is commanding, but his heart is as soft as a muffin.

The man in front of him held his hand back as he placed his arms beside him, feeling warm and at ease. The two men appear to be in a relationship and are madly in love with each other.

"I finally found you. Cian Xia-a, "

The man said with a voice full of warmth and gentleness as he continued.

"You made me nervous. I looked everywhere for you, but I couldn't find you at your pavilion. I was under the impression you went into seclusion without consulting me again. "

Cian Xia sighed and let go of his lover's hand, then patted his lover's head while still facing him back.

"How could I? I don't need to go into seclusion anymore because I already have you, "Cian Xia replied.

When he heard his reply, the man at his back chuckled and burrowed his face deeper into Cian Xia's shoulder, happy and glad. The man paused for a second to consider what to say, then spoke unexpected words to the man in front of him.

"Let's get married, Cian Xia-a,"

He mentioned something that caused Cian Xia to flinch from his words. Cian Xia's face flushed as he considered the other demands for a moment before responding.

"Mn,"

The man behind him appeared to be buffering his words and felt he hadn't heard the others' responses clearly, so he sought assurance.

"Did you say yes or no?"

Cian Xia sighs and blushes before responding.

"Wun Lan-ah. You know I hate to repeat my words, "

"I know, I know," Wun Lan admits,

"But I didn't quite hear you."

Cian Xia sighed again and repeated his answer from a minute ago, while his face was as red as a tomato.

"Mn,"

Wun Lan let go of him and began howling cheerful words like a madman, making Cian Xia blush.

“Yes! Yes! Yes, he said! Yes! ENTIRELY! "

"Wun Lan-a," Cian Xia approached him with an embarrassed expression, causing his lover, Wun Lan, to stop shouting cheerful words and return to his side. Wun Lan wrapped his arms around his waist and drew him close, kissing his cheeks. The two of them then exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with admiration and gentle love. Wun Lan responded with a grin on his face.

"Aiyo. Did I make my Cian-a feel embarrassed? "

Cian Xia did not respond. Instead, he lowered his head, blushed, and bit his lower lip, making Wun Lan think that his lover was so adorable and precious. As he spoke softly and warmly, he hugged Cian Xia tightly into his arms, buried his face into his shoulder, and sniffed the lavender scent of his lover's body.

"I consider myself extremely fortunate to have you in my life. Cian-a, I adore you so much. "

Cian Xia sighed softly as he buried his face in Wun Lan's firm chest, then returned the hug and replied.

"I'm the same way. I am fortunate to have you in my life, and I adore you too. "

As the days and months passed, the two lovers hugged warmly until the leaves of the trees withered and dissolved to the ground.

"Go back to them, Cian-a; the people still need you,"

Wun Lan said this as he cradled his lover in his arms and, with the last of his strength. He used his spiritual weapon to push Cian Xia outside the gates of hell.

"WUN LAN! You! " Cian Xia screamed at the top of his lungs as he landed outside the gate, terrified. He couldn't break free from the spiritual chain that Wun Lan had wrapped around him. Cian Xia came to a halt as he watched his lover at the hell gate, suppressing it to close as he stood alone, smiling with tears in his eyes and demons running close behind him.

"Cian-a, please wait for me. I promise I'll return. I will return in twelve years. I guarantee it. I'll find you and stay with you for the rest of my life. Don't cry, Cian Xia-a. I will return, I promise "Wun Lan said this while smiling gently at his lover, who was crying uncontrollably. When he received the effect of forcing the hell gate to close, his body began to turn to ash. Cian Xia's lungs tightened. He couldn't breathe as his lover faded in front of his eyes.

His heart stopped beating and his eyes widened, as if he had witnessed a monster. He attempted to break free from the spiritual chain once more, using the strength that remained in his exhausted body, but he was still unable to do so. Cian Xia stared at his lover with a horrified expression as tears of anguish flowed like a river from his eyes. Then, with trembling hands and a tired tone in his voice, he yelled like there was no tomorrow.

"... N-no, no. NO! WUN LAN! I CAN'T! WUN LAN! YOU LIAR! YOU SAID YOU WON'T LEAVE ME! A-LAN! YOU SAID YOU'LL MARRY ME. WHY ARE YOU HURTING ME? A-LAN! A-LAN WUN LAN! COME BACK! A-LAAAN! "

To be continued.
