A/N= The characters played will be called SSY from now on instead of LXY.
There was a knock on the wooden door. Before Shen ShanYuan manages to prop his body up and look out, bright light has already croaked in and the entrance is pushed open! Shen ShanYuan resists the urge to internally click his tongue, however the face maintains the usual pale and lifeless look of a soon-to-die patient. A gaze stops on the person on the bed and a sneer is spit. Footsteps walking briskly, stops by the bedside, unceremoniously looks down with words covered of disdain and disgust.
"Get dressed up, don't present yourself in this ugly state and soil the young master's eyes…"
The person who barges in continues to babble on, the sick on the bed lays still as a doll from beginning to the end no sounds were uttered or any reactions, response is given to the other party. Seeing no reply, the servant stomps angrily on the hard floor and leaves with curses on the tip of the tongue. Looking at the clothes between the two figures, one couldn't guess that the small figure covered in bandages and tattered pieces of cloth is actually a master while the servant has a better conditioned coat.
The servant lifts one foot ready to get out as if staying any longer with the patient inside would spread infectious diseases to them, only to feel the back has turned cold with iced water splashed soaking. Shivered spines, back covered in cold sweat, the servant didn't dare delay anymore and hurry out. Outside, far away from the lonely mansion, like a miraculous illusion, the servant breathes a sigh of relief. Peach blossom eyes heavily move back and sweep across the messy room. After the dark confession poured out, the original owner under the intense emotions crashed the whole site in a tornado. Scattered papers on the jade table fell in between the hard desk and the floor, the ink pen splattered everywhere painted the white wall and every object's mixed color and the paper finalised…
Shen ShanYuan glances lightly on the beautiful written letters only to feel strong unwillingness and resentment boils fiercely in his chest. The emotions come quickly, so does the illness. He clutches the clothes, panting heavily.
[Open the pain resistant for me.]
The pain blockage is immediately set up. His body eases and relax, calming his breathing, his closed eyelids trembling under the bright sunlight shone from the outside. Once he gathers his thoughts, sly eyes change and on the fair, white face, beautiful peach blossom eyes quiver revealing a lovely pair of bright, clear crystal jade of yellow irises with a hint of greenish color showing once the sun hits and reflects the shadow. Plump pale lips are licked and bitten until ruddy blood, a long straight nose bridge paired with high arched thin soft brows and smoothed cheeks changing the whole temperament to look a bit childish and pure. If closely observed, the edge of the eyes and lips pressed in a line, the whole temperament is changed entirely, becoming ruthless and alienated.
A fairy elf or a heartless reincarnated devil raised from the dead, it is not wrong to say everybody can easily mistaken the identity.
Shen ShanYuan is irritated, he didn't expect the hard hidden memories to arise at this moment. Thinking that he had indulged himself too much with the other man back in the last world, a sharp light flash in his heart. He resists the urge to comment on the flashing light and supports himself against the headboard to ready himself. With the pain blocked, it is not impossible for this weak body to stabilize and props up straight and upright. Thinking of the plot, a huge headache erupts making the whole body exude a harsher aura. Shen ShanYuan forcefully forces the sourness back down, he covers his face in the palm only to touch a tear-streaked run down along his fair pale boned cheeks. Once a drop is down, the rest is hard to resist. The propped body full of cold air lost its harshness and slumped back down the hard quilt. Due to his built-up resistance from the various worlds, his consciousness unconsciously cuts off the connection with the system so before the little system notices a difference with the master host, the connection is already severed.
Shen ShanYuan waves his sleeves and the air rushing in from the outside flutterly disappears along with the wooden creaked door that is slammed shut! With nobody in presence, more and more feelings rush up. There is a heavy feeling running around in his heart, he doesn't know what it is. Only the overwhelming sadness and heartache, quicken breathing and choked up sound coming from the weakened body sitting unstably on the bed. The face is covered but streams of water can be vaguely distinguished from the gap between fingertips. Quivering lips and trembling shoulder blades, the edges of the fairy eyes are reddened and it is not hard to guess that the small tip nose is also dyed a similar rose color. Such a gorgeous deadly appearance but is abandoned by the whole world.
The room is dark and dim, no light is shined in and only the unperturbed short breath of the young man is softly disguised. Soft, bitten lips parted and closed, words spoken with much difficulty and hardship.
"...Song Yu."
Freezing air exudes from the young man seated on the golden embezzled chair, the temperature drops lower and lower. The subordinates and ministers inside the place could feel their backs covered in sweat, dropping their heads down even kneeling for fear of offending the young prince and losing a life today. Although the handsome man on the golden seat is a generation younger than these old men, they dare not speak a word out loud in front of this majestic person unless they feel their life is too easy going and boring. Teeth grinding, avoiding eyesight, everybody only has one wish right now.
Someone come bring them away, ah! I don't want to see the King of Yama yet! Uncle, can you not be so cold! The room's about to freeze, who dared anger this big devil?! Come out, we just want to talk, no fist!
Little System looks through the monitors and silently lights a candle for this group of ministers.
The ministers and guards were trying to come up of a solution and praying for a miracle to rescue them away from the big devil when they heard an indifferent voice sound above their heads.
"Get out."
The group of heads immediately scatters away, hearing these two words is the same as having given amnesty over life.
Watching the scrambling mouse, the face is lifted and the little system can see the outlines of the man's young fresh immature curves yet the edges of the eyes draw a stern and mature aura. However before the little system can see the whole profile clearly, a pair of fierce, dull eyes glance above directly where the monitors record the play!
"!!!"
The video hastily cuts off to a stop, if the system has a heart, it would be scared to stop beating by this dangerous monster! Calming down, questions are put up. Is it a coincidence? How could this plot character look directly at the camera? Nonono! It must've been just a big shock to the system. Xiao Tong sighs in relief and throws this thoughtless clue to the back. Its little data scram to update the storage. Master host is still busy, it should be helpful to the master and not play around! What an amazing system Xiao Tong is, ah!
Hmm! Hmm!
With this happy mindset, the stupid, naive system joyfully went to work diligently forgetting the weird eye contact it experience.
Nobody notices a slight arc lifted in the corner of the young man's lower lips. His eyes are dark and deep, looking like a whirlpool storm is brewing in the depth of the bottom. No one knows what is in his mind and heart, but from the small grin at the edge the young handsome man appears to be in a good mood.
-Quiet Night-
Back in the lonely courtyard mansion, a shadow vaguely flashes between the trees and lushes. Brisk light footsteps jumping around on the roof of many noiseless yards, the wind rushes along leaving only a fragrance of lemon and mint in the airy night.
The shadow stops in between to catch breath, communicating with an unknown source in the head.
[Damn, this body is so weak! I already bought props to have a martial arts foundation but I forgot about the remnant poison in the body!]
There was a light pause before a tiny, childlike voice sounded in his head.
[Master host, it is not advisable to run away from home… Just what are you planning?]
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Xiao Tong is a good child, abiding by the law. Seeing the master host not following the goodwill rules, it feels something is not right.
Hearing the small complaint, Shen ShanYuan is at odds. This little ball is back to the glutinous rice ball, did it delete the datas again? Sighing lightly, he adjusts his balance and looks around. Finding a suitable position, the black clothed figure jumps up and down along the roof once more. The boots step on the light roof tiles and stop. Catching a breath, Shen ShanYuan quickly relaxed and wanted to sit to catch another breath but he was in a hurry and the foot crossed, almost losing balance. Shen ShanYuan's fast reflex work, one hand hitting the tiles to stabilize the body from falling backward but the strength is understated and he accidentally broke the rough tiles! The body drops at a speed of light through the broken gap!
[$%!@/@^^×!+@##%!!00! AH AH AH AHHHAHHHHHHHHHQ0@%_×,£#,¥÷;÷/@,)×(÷_@:÷&&×*÷,÷¥AHHHHaaaahjhhhh!!!]
Xiao Tong did not have enough time to understand the situation and the 'beep-beep' sound alarm was a huge mass in space. The little system is dumbstruck. It could only watch as the stream of red words marked as 'beep-beep-beep' ran around on the screen display.
Shen ShanYuan closes his eyes reflexively, shouting a torrent of curses in head and unconsciously swearing aloud while falling. He tried to open partially only for the strong wind to hit his eyes, souring the sensitive glans. He forces to look around, hoping to find something to attach and hold on to for landing. A white light flashes in the corner but before Shen ShanYuan manages to grab it, the body has already reached the ground! His curses soar through the roof, eyes close shut. The danger risk makes him reach out in a hurry and grab that white flash he saw in the cracks while falling.
Crash!
"Owowowowow!!! O-Ouch!! O…? Ah?"
The precedent pain from the large fall did not come. Behind his back under the body is a hard, solid texture but other than the rough touch there is hardly any pain expected from a huge fall from the roof. His fingers twitch and the feel of soft fabric seems to wake him back. Shen ShanYuan's mind was in a scramble, his body reacted first and started touching and fumbling around. The more he roughly touches around, the odder his face turns. The touch is strong and rough, not like a hard ground. Although not soft, I can feel a smooth padded texture and there are lines in between… if not the ground, what is this, ah…??? His other hand is also not idle, he rubs around and pinchs. It seems he is holding a fabric...? Cloth?
But Shen ShanYuan dare not open his eyes. What is the possibility? Which is more safe, to open or pretend to close? However the answer does not come, as a strange and alienated voice sounded above his head.
"Have you had enough?"
Shen ShanYuan swallows in nervousness. This tone sounds scary, I just got here not more than a day and I'm already about to be dragged out of this world on my first day?!
The more he thought about it, the more he believed that it's best to avoid this man! Danger, danger! His palm turns sweaty and he can't help but rub it on the soft fabric to lessen the nervousness.
"Heh. Open your eyes."
Shen ShanYuan heard the sneer and his head shook like a rattle drum. The eyelid closes tightly shut and the body instinctively wants to escape from the unprecedented risk. He tries to move to the opposite side of the stranger, luckily this stranger didn't stop him and lets him move freely. Shen ShanYuan breathes a sigh of relief, the face that turns a better shade instantly changes to pale once the feet somehow come into contact with a low temperature and are wet. He peeks at the ground only to find it's water! His body reflexively jumps up and into the cold yet warm hug. He underestimated the hardness and hit the strong chest with the tip of his nose which quickly turned a reddish plum color. His eyelashes quiver and the pair of pale yellow irises stare aggrievedly and accusingly at the solid chest in resentment! Those pair of pure eyes then looked up and hatefully gave the owner of this chest a strong look as if saying it's his fault for having this hard and solid of a chest! The man's deep eyes show no sign of change, looking down condescendingly from the eyes to the bridge of the red nose then down to the pale pink bitten lips. He watches as those smooth, soft lips parted open and close sullenly and soft, sticky voices sounded out admonishing him.
"Damn! Why is your chest so hard?! It hurts!"
However because the sound that comes out is young and sticky, the tones spoken are not heavy to hear but more like coquettishly blaming him for even daring to hurt him in the slightest bit. It sounds like it's a crime to even wrong him the tiniest bit. A ripple runs across the always frost heart, his face darkens showing an unhappy expression.
Shen ShanYuan gives the man holding him no attention after he says this. Rubbing his nose to ease the pain, he glances down and notices that the embrace he is in is half-naked! His opens open-wide, looking like a frightened furry ball that has its fur stepped on. The small mouth opens and closes, intermittent stutter words cracks. Slender, white fingers pointed at the straight nose of the handsome man in front of him and finally speak up.
"Y-You, You, You…! Hooligan!"
The dark eyes turn strange and the man somehow feels a little funny, this little guy falls on top of him while he's having a bath and even dares to accuse him like this. He hasn't said much to the little guy yet he's already been given the 'hooligan' card.
Alas, who can understand this complex emotion he's having at this moment?
Shen ShanYuan does not give the stranger more time to reply, he quickly jumps down from the strong arm as if scared. The man thinks he can see puffed up hair on the little guy but before he could say anymore, he watches as the little guy's face turns shocked then shivers and hurriedly grab the only piece of white cloth covering his waist and under and cover himself.
"!"
Shen ShanYuan is not used to the weak and unstable state of this body yet only to find that he is very cold and shivering alot. The piece of white cloth he saw before is finally in sight and he grabs it and covers his body as if this is the straw lifeline of his. He only came to his senses as his eyes fell down and the man's lower half was in his sight. The pair of large eyes turn rounder and wider aa he exclaims in shock and gasps. Then a stern command is given above his fluffy, shocked head.
"You, what are you doing?"
The pale face immediately paints a red shade of blush and Shen ShanYuan hurriedly throws back the towel to the man and turns around ashamedly. But he didn't think much about the throw and the towel is thrown deep and floated atop of the water and sinks down.
"..."
The man looks at the wet white towel with a dark expression, turns to give the troublemaker a deep gaze. The boy's slender, white neck has turned a deep shade of wine color from the tip of the ears down to the collar. Since he is taller than the boy, he can see the color spreading down to the upper back line of the smooth pale back but the black, tight clothes cover it up. He can already imagine this little guy is covered red all over his body. The profile of the boy is pretty like a little prince out of western fantasy setting, however the pair of eyes can easily provoke more imagination. If looks can kill, this little guy would've already been a very powerful killer. He remembers the sticky voice and coquettish look he saw on the boy's small face and his eyes turn darker.
This little troublemaker dares to play with him?
Thinking of this, he raises his hand on top of the boy's slender, blushed neck and accurately grabs hold of the collar back and pulls the boy into his arms from behind. With a slightly dampened chest fresh out of shower, the drops of water stick to the black cloth of Shen ShanYuan's back and his face flushed more vibrantly under the dim light of the hot spring. Shen ShanYuan moves around uncomfortably, scared that the big devil will treat him as a prey but hears a heavy groan from behind and his body turns stiff. The man has nothing on him, upper and lower body half are undressed in the dim-lighted room and a little troublemaker is rubbing and grinding unceremoniously on his body.
"Don't move."
He feels the soft body turn stiff from his groan and finally the body stops moving. His big palms wrap around the boy's slender waist and suggestively pinch there, Shen ShanYuan's body immediately turns soft with feet like a puddle of pool water. With so many emotions running up and down today, the body feels weak and being in cold bath water for abit too long in this patient of a body, his mind turns muddled. Before he loses his consciousness and falls down to the bath under, he feels his body being picked up and lifted out of the water before he could fall and the familiar sandalwood fragrance wafts into his nose. The sour emotions quickly rushed out and tears fell down in a hurry. The soul reacted and the body instinctively responded, with hands clinging wrapped around the man's neck and shoulder. The boy buried his furry head in the warm, safe chest and choked and hoarse voices sounded, like begging and pleading for a lover. Shaking his head and continuously whispering in between small short pants.
"Song Yu, Song Yu… Song Yu… don't leave… no, please… beg… beg you…"
Pitiful soul.
Like an arrow running through his chest, hearing another man's name from the small mouth of the little troublemaker in such a heartbreaking tone, the man feels strange. His eyes stir and he can't resist the soul's urge and drops a flutter of kisses on the little white face trying hard to comfort the small body in his arm unskillfully.
"Don't cry… how can you cry for someone who dares leave you? Stupid."
The man continues to speak words he thinks are comforting to the little troublemaker. He reaches to hold the small hand, covered in his big palm and holds it like a treasure. Lowering his head, he kisses each finger affectionately and rubs the thumb on the palm trying to convey heat to the body in his arm softly and gently.
"I'm here. No one's leaving. So, don't cry… okay?
He doesn't know why seeing this little troublemaker crying so painfully breaks his heart or why he does not get angry when this little guy makes trouble. From the moment he lays his eyes on this guy, he feels his soul is nourished and can't control his body but be very patient with the boy. The man couldn't help but feel strange and questioned his actions but before he could react, his body was already holding the soft and warm body of the beauty in between his arms and chest. Holding this person feels as if he has the whole world in the palm of his hand and the missing piece that is his reason for existing in this world is solved.
He lowers his eyes and stares at the slightly trembling body in his arms. The boy is holding his hand tightly as if afraid he will leave, when he said he won't leave the boy somehow calms down and no longer cry so much anymore but from time to time the boy would grab his hand tightly as if seeking a response and only replying then will the boy hum softly in his sleep like finally coming back to a nest called his home where he feels safe and protected. The tip of the nose is reddened and the cheeks are pale from the cold, the arms holding tightened and long legs quicken the pace heading to the bedroom.
The man softly and gently puts the soft body on the quilt mattress. Watching the boy sink deeply on the thick bed, the man is satisfied and the corner of his lower lips curve high. His finger reaches over to smooth the fine lines between the frowned brows. Finishing the job, he slowly removes the boy's hand holding his arm wanting to go and get a glass of water. Shen ShanYuan mutters in dissatisfaction, not only did he move his body closer and also take the opportunity to rub against the man's arm. He looks obedient and well-behaved but the small mouth is dishonest, uttering unhappy words at the man. The man's body stiffens and only relaxes once Shen ShanYuan stops rubbing against his arm. His ear pricks up, the end of his mouth twitch listening to the little guy muttering words of dissatisfaction at him. He has never served anybody like this, this little troublemaker has stepped on his line so many times but he didn't feel any disgust instead feels this is something he wants to do. What is wrong with him lately?
More and more tiny sullen words are directed at him and the man reaches to rub his temples, having trouble. How do you coax a little baby who's not a baby? His lips curve up and he reaches out to pinch the noisy chatterbox's nose, stopping the noise.
Now it's quiet.
Hmm, the man feels happy. He looks down at the body holding his arm again. This little guy is sleeping on his bed in his room, holding his arm so tightly and his tiny mouth kept opening and closing scolding him. Not even showing a bit of vigilance or resistance.
Alas, I seem to pick up a little troublemaker. Not only is this little guy troublesome but also very noisy, ah. My life is about to go upside down. Who could understand my feeling, ne?
Shen ShanYuan wants to say: Stinky hooligan! Perverted! Not only did this man hold him but even dared to pinch his ass, ah ah ah! Where are the weapons?! Should I just let this man go after harassing me?! YuanYuan holds up a big sign "NO"!
Bùxíng!
