"Is my Prince ready to go? It's late afternoon. Look at your face, these clothes are not that pretty, but why do they look so dazzling when worn by you,"
Yuen smiled amusedly when Dai Yang spoke so close to him. He looks at him with deep gazes and endless praise.
"Brother Yang, stop, you've been too much"
Dai Yang smiled, tying the rope around Yuen's waist and forming a pretty knot with both ends falling along the bottom of the clothes. He grabbed the jade pendant that was placed neatly on the table not far from him, his gift to Yuen. Inserted the long string into the belt, and let it hang down. Yuen's beautiful long hair hung down to his slender waist. Usually, the kid would tie all his hair up and gather it in the middle so as not to disturb his days of looking for medicinal leaves. This time, he looked different.
Dai Yang pulled Yuen's waist closer to him, hugging him with his large body as if the child were nothing more than an adorable little doll.
"Em, if you are so pretty like this, how can I be willing to see you off, my sweet Yen Yen"
Yuen smiled, clenching his hands in front of his chest preventing the man from getting closer to him.
"Brother Yang, these clothes are too beautiful, am I worthy of wearing them? Besides, it's a shame, that it will quickly get dirty if worn in Lotus Valley. I still have a lot of hard work such as washing and cutting medicinal leaves so..."
Dai Yang held Yuen's hand, stopping him from his passionate speech.
"These pretty hands, have to do such manual labor every day. Lucky, my Yen Yen's hand is still so smooth like this."
Yuen smiled, he tried to pull his hand away from Dai Yang but the man only pulled him closer until he had to lean against his chest. He lost grip on his feet and could only put his weight on the man who was holding his waist and arms tightly. Yuen's eyes widened seeing how close he and Dai Yang were. He was about to pull himself up to stand but Dai Yang pulled him back until he fell on him.
"B-Brother Yang"
Dai Yang smiled, couldn't take his eyes off Yuen's beautiful pair of eyes, light brown eyes that looked like gold in the sunlight. Curly and long eyelashes like butterfly wings that fluttered fine gold flakes when he blinked, and a pair of big, round enchanting eyes. With a delicate and soft-shaped sharp nose, and full chapped lips. How could Dai Yang resist all the beauty in the world that now is in his grasp, so close to him? Dai Yang pulled Yuen's hand closer to him, tilted his head, and kissed his beautiful lips that were too delicious for him to skip.
"Chup"
Yuen's eyes widened, he couldn't avoid it when the man kissed him and chewed his lips gently and gently. Vigorously but didn't hurt him. He blew warm air from his mouth and kissed him making Yuen run out of time to catch his breath.
Dai Yang smiled, realizing that Yuen was panting from his short but long kiss. His heartbeat was beating faster and faster. Maybe the kid could hear it too because it was so loud. He grabbed Yuen's chin and kissed him again.
"My Yen Yen"
"Brother" Yuen didn't even have the chance to speak, let alone reject him.
Dai Yang's hand held his waist, and the other held his cheek with his large palm. Gently, so as not to hurt Yuen, he lowered his hands under Yuen's legs, and lifted him, carrying him like a princess while not stopping the kiss, letting Yuen fall in his arms and showering him with irresistible soft kisses. Yuen writhed in amusement when Dai Yang kissed his neck, letting his body feel the extraordinary sensation when the warmth of Dai Yang's hug and hot kiss woke up his body which had always felt cold and powerless. All of that seemed to give him energy. Yuen wrapped two arms around Dai Yang's neck and let himself sink into the big man's arms. The two of them shared body heat so they didn't feel the cold air blowing into the room. This was an extraordinary feeling for him, but unlike Dai Yang who could overcome his heartbeat that was too fast, Yuen let himself surrender, his body slumped until his grip loosened.
Dai Yang raised his head, realizing he had gone too far.
"Yen" and the child lay limp in his arms. Closing his eyes tightly, unconscious.
"Yen Yen" whispered Dai Yang, placing his palm on Yuen's forehead and channeling his inner strength. He had gone too far, fortunately, the kid finally catch his breath after his inner strength managed to wake him up.
"Heh, please forgive me" Dai Yang buried his head in Yuen's neck, hugging him tightly. Lifting the young man's limp body towards the bed. He stroked Yuen's cheek gently, looking at the pair of glazed eyes that finally saw him. Yuen smiled, seeing Dai Yang's worried face.
"Hey, Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I'm so tired"
Dai Yang smiled, his big rough palm stroked Yuen's cheek gently, took his hand, and kissed it.
"I'm the one who has to say sorry. I was too excited and made you tired. My dear," he whispered.
Yuen smiled, he closed his eyes again with a big smile on his face. Dai Yang kissed Yuen's hand, climbed up, and lay next to him. Hugging him gently.
"Heh, forgive me" he whispered and kissed Yuen's forehead. Putting his chin on it.
He forgot that he was the King of the Valley who had a very strong inner force. Without being able to control it, he might have released it because he was too excited and absorbed the air around Yuen. Making the kid weak and unconscious.
…..
The rain has just stopped. No matter how eager Dai Yang was to keep Yuen er in his palace, he couldn't deny that he couldn't do anything to help him now. He will pick him up when he finds the antidote. Currently, the safest place for him was the old healer's rickety hut.
After three days of rest, Dai Yang would finally send the kid home to Lotus Valley. Dai Yang brought his big horse, Yuen sat in front of him. He wouldn't let the kid ride the horse alone and he might fall. That was the reason the kid agreed to ride a horse with him.
Dai Yang hugged Yuen tightly. Holding the reins with both hands while making sure the kid is safe in his arms. The cold air made them both wear thick white fur cashmere coats that covered the big white horse.
Yuen smiled when Dai Yang grabbed his waist which made him tickled.
"Brother Yang:"
Dai Yang couldn't stop smiling. The smell of Yuen's body which was so close to him made him fall asleep in the enchanting sea of Yen Yen. Making him sink further and get drunk even though he didn't drink any liquor.
"Will my Yen Yen make Brother Yang abalone porridge later?" Dai Yang whispered. His head was so close to the back of Yuen's neck that he could kiss him at any time, and that's what he always did.
"Brother" Yuen felt amused when Dai Yang's rough chin covered in tiny hairs touched his neck.
Dai Yang did it on purpose, he liked it when Yuen's body moaned and made his waist slimmer, his body was so nice to the touch. Warm and soft.
"Hehe, I can't wait to find the antidote, at that time, you have to stay in the palace with me, okay, promise,"
Yuen Er thought. There's no harm in saying yes. He had often said that finding the antidote was almost impossible, but Dai Yang had great pride in his abilities, he couldn't refuse it. Yuen nodded.
"Ehm, if I live until that day comes"
Dai Yang hugged Yuen tightly. Putting his chin on the kid's shoulder.
"Em, I'll make sure of that, Yen Yen, trust me, right?" Dai Yang whispered, one hand holding Yuen's two hands in front of his waist so tight.
Yuen turned his head and looked at Dai Yang's face. He looked into his eyes and nodded. Don't know why, but he trusted him, whatever he said.
Dai Yang smiled, he kissed Yuen's cheek anxiously.
"Chup, Yen Yen, my love"
Yuen was surprised when Dai Yang suddenly did it.
"Brother"
Dai Yang could only smile mischievously, he couldn't stop himself from always touching and kissing the child.
"Brother, it ticklish, your hand"
Their voices could be heard at the end of the street.
"I'm just touching you a little"
Dai Yang's big horse had already crossed the path above the Sun Sparkle waterfall, which meant that soon they would arrive at the border of the Golden Cloud Valley and the Lotus Valley.
"Can Yen Yen stay longer in the valley? I want to show you where the cute forest rabbits near the waterfall."
"I would love to, later, I'll come again another time"
Dai Yang hugged Yuen tighter.
"Promise me, okay"
