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.They both entered the little cabin where a lamp lit every corner. Feng Shao sat by his tacky desk and started painting a peach tree branch.Lui Xian sat on one side observing his movements."Since when did you start painting?""..Since I was ten. I really like doing it." Lui Xian smiled, 'It feels like I am getting to know him little by little.'Feng Shao had somehow started to feel comfortable in his presence. It was sudden but well what could he do. 'It's not like he is a complete stranger.' Focusing on painting a defined line, he easily let out his humming habit making Lui Xian laugh at him."I never thought I would see you hum like this." The duo were both surprised at this line. Especially Lui Xian who mentally hit his head for talking nonsense. He decided to sit on his spot leaving Feng Shao to his own devices.After a shichen and a hal

HuffHuffFeng 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 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 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 him to that tea

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 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 meters

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. There a young girl 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 head ringing and her voice made him feel uncomfortable. His mood was off after what 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 was scaring the little worker. The girl didn't wait to be ousted. She dushed out of h

"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
