Lotus Flower 29. Failed Attempt
Lui Xian sat by the fire, occupying himself with making lunch just at the corner of the little cabin far from the windows and the entrance. Smoke rose in the air giving off a smoky-like mist. His eyes were watery and red due to being exposed to fire for too long. He was afraid of irritating Feng Shao and so prepared everything quietly.When he had first looked for a place to cook, he had hardly found any signs for such an activity. There had been no ashes anywhere that could indicate that Feng Shao had once cooked for himself. Even the pot he was using was accumulating dust in a corner, yearning to be enveloped by the yellow orangish flames that could make its base glow with a red hot tint. Even the ingredients to prepare the meal had been hard to find. He had searched for a few grains of rice to eat with the meat he had hunted, while he was on his way to fetch water. When Lui Xian found none he ended up making soup and roasted meat on the fire. He was lucky to find some herbs that he
Lotus Flower 30. What Happened?
"You're awake." Lui Xian enquired after noticing the white haired male being fidgety in the quilts. He watched Feng Shao sit up straight. And stretched his arms while yawning. It looked quite cute. He quietly put the tattered book away, then faced him planning to talk to him. Feng Shao on the other hand did not feel like talking to him. He glanced anywhere but him. That's when he spotted a closed pot at one corner. And the aroma of the meat tickled his nose and made his mouth water with saliva. Some ended up leaking at one side. His stomach followed growling making him feel ashamed as he looked down on his lap."I made some food. Here, have some." If it was earlier on he would have refused but now he didn't care for his dignity at all. He accepted the bowl which was filled with soup and a piece of roasted meat at the side. It still felt warm.He immediately began to dig in, not uttering a single word."Not even a thank you? Hah." Lui Xian teased him and returned to sit on his original
Lotus Flower 31. Travelling Together
The moon took its place overhead, Lui Xian reached for the knife and retrieved it before handing it over to Feng Shao who received it joyfully. He held it carefully, and ran his fingers on the blade, feeling the smooth surface, as the memories he had of it flashed in his mind. A little while later, Lui Xian led the way inside the little cabin where a lamp lit every corner. Feng Shao sat by his tacky desk and started painting a peach blossom tree. Lui Xian on the other hand, stood on one side observing his every movements. Watching him paint every stroke. "Since when did you start painting?" He couldn't stop himself from asking. "Hmm. Since I was fifteen years old. I really liked the smell of the paint and also how free I felt. It made me feel delighted. It still does." Feng Shao answered. He didn't look away from his work. Instead his hands were full, one deeping ink and the other busy straightening up the paper. Lui Xian smiled, 'It feels like I am getting to know him little
Lotus Flower 32. In Xiyu Town
'Does he always cry when he is drunk?' Lui Xian wondered whilst watching Feng Shao with tears flowing like two rivers on his cheeks. He clutched tightly at the now empty wine pot. At first glance, Lui Xian had seen all this as quite funny. But then when Feng Shao started lamenting about some parts of his past, he found it not funny anymore. "My home was destroyed. The village too." "My home....village....I...I....I." Lui Xian moved a little closer to the drunk fella and gently stroke his back. Consoling him when he started crying. "Hey, it's okay. Don't cry anymore." He soothed him. "What? Who is crying you?" Feng Shao raised his head that was cast down pitifully a while ago and looked at Lui Xian, his eyes had gotten red and the nose too. His cheeks were very wet. "I am not crying, you're the one crying." He emphasized and also pointed at Lui Xian who could only retort in his heart. 'Why are you this stupid when you're drunk. Look at you.' Left with no more words to say, Lui Xi
Lotus Flower 33. Chase
Huff Huff Feng Shao felt out of breath after running after Lui Xian who at the moment was chasing after the pink-dressed man in the dark. He felt his legs unable to take another step. He was rid of all the energy he had been keeping in store during the day. His forehead had little drops of sweat that were fanned by the moving air. His chest moved up and down reminding him to exercise more in the near future. It was a wonder why he weighed less and managed to have a slim body for this long. Thinking about it he could only thank the herbs that he takes in regularly. Those helped him to stay healthy at least. But if he kept on going on like this, he was sure he will not even run for even five meters. Looking ahead, Feng Shao spotted the two silhouettes sprinting, and separated by two meters apart. The pink-dressed guy took the lead, languidly leaping on roofs facing his back at the waning full moon that was aiding them to see their surroundings thoroughly. "Why did I have to drag h
Lotus Flower 34. Story Telling
"I lost him." Lui Xian told Feng Shao who had just collapsed on the ground after running and straining his not too fit physic chasing after these two lunatics. Every bone in his body had a tingling sensation and his muscles had gotten numb. "I don't care what happened just get me out of here. I can't take any step from here. Come on carry me." Feng Shao shamelessly demanded stretching his hand for Lui Xian to take. Lui Xian as if he was under a spell, squatted a little and took Feng Shao into his arms. They had gotten far from the city and also he had left Ferris at some stable so all Lui Xian could do was walk back carrying the other in his hold. "Lui? What are you going to do now? Are you returning to Wu Capital or? Feng Shao couldn't help and asked whilst tightening his hold on Lui Xian's neck. He didn't know why he was acting like this when he thought of him leaving again. He just felt suffocated. He didn't want him to go. "... I can't go back now. First, I have to take down t
Lotus Flower 35. What A Waste Of Time
Once again. Nighttime had overshadowed the village, tempering with their behaviour as they got hyper as if they were celebrating something. The night sky was filled with beautiful lights that seemed to be flying at a radius afar from where they were popped. Lui Xian and Feng Shao stood amongst this scene, searching for their storyteller. Their eyes struggled to catch his figure. As the streets buzzed with drunkards, kids holding kites and women dressed up with lanterns in their hands. "Are we going to stand here for the whole night? Lui, I am starting to feel sleepy. We will find him tomorrow morning." Feng Shao complained turning away and heading towards the inn. With nothing to do, Lui Xian followed behind him. However, when they were about to enter, the two saw the man they were looking for, sitting at a corner still drowning himself in a wine jar and shouting at passerbys. His hair was messy and his clothes stained with mud. The man was leaning on the inn's wall which was three
Lotus Flower 36. I Will Find You
Lui Xian tried very hard to budge the door open but to no avail. He had nowhere to go. Or any money to book another room. All he could do was keep on knocking, driving Feng Shao crazy. He kept on it for twenty minutes before he gave up and went to drink the remaining wine that was still left on the table a while ago. It was still plenty, touching the middle walls of the wine pot. He poured a few cups and gulped all of it down his throat. Not even feeling the burning sensation of the wine on the inner walls of his oesophagus. It felt like he was taking in water. He poured one cup after another until the moment he had an urge to vent at the other who put him in this situation. Just picturing his face made him want to drink a lot more. "Why is he even angry? He was the one acting weird when we met. What even made him want to stay with me? He is confusing." Lui Xian grieved, whilst taking another sip. He played with the empty cup. The lonely man felt as if something was clogging his ch
