"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
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
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
The next day, early in the morning Feng Shao woke up to a knock at the door. He groaned whilst getting off the bed smoothing his robe to make it look neat then he opened the door. He expected to see Lui Xian but to his disappointment, it was only a young girl who stood nervously her eyes roaming all over the place like a thief. She avoided looking into Feng Shao's eyes whilst greeting him with a squeaky voice. "Good morning my lord, I." The little girl didn't get to finish what she wanted to say because Feng Shao cut her off. He felt his ears ringing and her voice made him feel uncomfortable. His mood was off today after everything that happened and also he had ended up remembering his worst memories. All these things have been partially the reason why he got irritated easily, making the little worker who had come to serve him wonder if he had slept on the wrong side of the bed. "What do you want?" Feng Shao asked her his face stone cold and his tone flat. He didn't realize that he
How long were they going to let the cold war keep on rolling?No one knew, except the two companions who were lying side by side on a mat waiting to be called out for supper by the family where they were momentarily crushing on.The place was small and crammed so it was difficult for them not to be too close. Feng Shao felt uneasy when his back made contact with Lui Xian's chest. He could feel Lui Xian's breath on his sensitive neck. The skin that was continuously being fanned on started to emit heat leaving a red tint that seemed to travel to his cheeks. All in the silence he could only pray for the other to shift to the other side.Since the day the two men stopped talking to each other, Feng Shao felt concise whenever he was around Lui Xian. He would sometimes find himself stealing a glance at the other man. His face would become red hot when he stared for too long or when Lui Xian caught him staring. It started to get worse when he was saved from that wild animal. At first, he had
"What do you wanna know?" Feng Shao asked with a teasing tone. He was deeply gazing at him with his sapphire eyes glistening with a sparkle, which was visible to Lui Xian who just looked at him plainly. Feng Shao had a dazzling smile plastered on his lips. He observed how Lui Xian's eyes didn't waver when he noticed him staring for too long. His heartbeat plummeted just by looking at the man that was sitting by his side."Where you come from. What you like. What you were like in your childhood. Anything." Lui Xian clarified. His voice was low and sharp. When he finished relaying his answer, Lui Xian moved his gaze away from Feng Shao and looked at the clear sky. He decided to lie down. His arms folded a little bit trying to support his head from reaching the ground. His back lied directly on the grass and his legs crossed together, one foot touching the ground whilst the other was suspended in the air.Upon seeing him like that, Feng Shao smiled more deeply. He watched him close his e
"You grew up travelling. I wish I had lived like that. Maybe my family would still be alive." Feng Shao lamented falling in step with Lui Xian. They were not far from the gate and could see Mei Suyu, the young villager, pacing in front of the house. He seemed very worried. Feng Shao immediately abandoned his partner and ran towards the young boy. He ruffled his hair, before showing his concern."What happened?" "Papa fell sick. Mother took him to the clinic. I don't know what is gonna happen to him." Mei Suyu wuffled trying to not let his tears be seen by these two men. He had started to admire. Feng Shao comforted him and then took something from their allocated room before he went after them.Lui Xian remained behind. He watched over Mei Suyu who was with his face looking down and Feng Shao's picture flashed in his mind. "He is gone there. Your father will be alright don't worry." "Hah, is he a doctor?" Mei Suyu asked with a perplexed expression. He didn't believe that the beautif
When Feng Shao and Lui Xian sobered up, they found that Mei Suyu was smiling at them with his eyes twinkling with little stars. His admiration seemed to have deepened to such a greater degree. It made them wonder what had made him like this."Brother Lui, Brother Feng." He greeted with a bow. The two were surprised. When did they become his brother? They looked at each other, both their eyes filled with shock and confusion. Feng Shao was first to regain his senses. He turned back to him and smiled with a nod. It made the young man very happy. He was thrilled to be a little brother to such a remarkable couple. It could be his little secret.Unknown to the two men, Mei Suyu went away singing and asking the heavens to bless their non-existent relationship."He seems to be in good mood. Should we inform them we are leaving today?" Feng Shao worried pointing at the retreating Xiaomei. Lui Xian nodded. "We have to. We can not just leave, it's impolite to do so." They both followed after Mei
