Finally, the D-day arrived, Hei anying's 18th birthday, it would had been a memorable day for him if he really got his ' adult ' freedom but guess what, that was the day his freedom would be confiscated even though he hadn't even gotten it yet.
"Young lord." Liu feng called after arriving in his room, breaking anying's focus from his window making the limpid eyes of anying turn back to stare at his aide lost.
"It's time isn't it?.". He asked in a dull voice.
Liu feng replied with a blank "..."
Anying got up and walked steadily out of the room towards his grandfather's pavilion in his black hanfu . He especially chose this colour in mourning of his freedom.
And also, so his grooms wouod find him dull with no sense of fashion. Maybe they could despise and send him away at first sight.
He wished.
His hair was held high with an equally black veil slightly obstructing his view, though it didn't diminish his beauty, it still managed to create that gloomy air around him.
Too bad he didn't know his plan of dressing dully would backfire on him.
...Some minutes later, Anying arrived in front of his grandfather's pavilion, but without knocking, he strode in.
' forsake manners!. I'm going to get my answers and escape after the damned marriage! '.
Yes you heard right, he finally decided to confront his grandfather before the wedding.
Entering, he met the old man sitting on a lean in chair with a reminiscing expression on his face, though it was tinted in hurt, Anying was too focused on the thoughts of loosing his freedom to care.
"Grandfather.". He bowed a little in greeting. The old man turned in his direction still with his hurt expression, then as if registering the presence of Anying, he put up a smile and opened his mouth to begin.
Ahem, the regular passage all parents and grandparents at large read while sending their children off to marriage.
"Look at you Anying... All grown up. You were just a kid now you're gett--".
" Oh spare me that Grandpa ". Anying interupted. Obviously not interested in hearing bull's***t.
The old man frowned as his mouth twitched in disbelief "kid's got no filter I know that, but you should know I gave birth t--."
"And that too." He deadpanned causing the old man to frown more deeply. But before he could say anything else, Anying stated.
"Tell me why I can't marry anyone else other than the ye twin.".
Silence.
The old man's expression turned blank as he averted his gaze. He seemed to be poundering on something but his face couldn't tell until he decided to voice out.
"They're the most powerful to help eliminate the ensuing chaos and, they'd be able to take care of your responsibilities just fine.".
Anying felt his mouth go sour when he heard his old man's words..
' am I a baby? '.he couldn't help but wonder.
" Other than that Gramps. The ' main ' reason I can't marry someone else ". He said, he was starting to feel like a lost hen. His grandfather stood up while sighing helplessly when he heard his words.
Then the old man walked towards him and took his soft hands into his. Looking him in the eyes with not so dark purple eyes, he opened his mouth to say,
"Half of the main reason is because of what I just told you. And the other reason is because t--."
oh well, his talk was interupted by a *swish* sound and the waves of a portal opening into a human sized length.
Anying let out a frown when he got interupted in the moment of finding out the hard earned Truth, and he swore he heard his grandfather sigh in relief.
"It's time to go." He heard the old man say quickly making him purse his lips in displeasure.
And as if heavens where against him, a dark haired male with sexy martial artist's build exited the portal with a smile on his friendly face yet the aura he exuded screamed back off and his eyes...
Taking a step forward, he bowed with a hand on his chest and gestured to the portal.
"After you~". He said, in a singsong tone that made Anying annoyed.
Grandpa Hei who was happy that the young man interupted his conversation with Anying had his face scrunch up when li yue ignored his presence.
"Don't you have respect for your elders?." He asked to the playful tone.
Li yue raised his head at last when he heard the old man's words,
Then he bowed again and said"pardon me. My lady's beauty overwhelmed your dull presence." He really loves playing with his safety as you would agree with me.
"Y-YOU!." The old man gasped in disbelief.
Frowning Anying refuted being a lady with "I'm a ' Male ' blind man".
Li yue smiled wider albeit his eyes being empty of all emotions and replied "I know but my masters hate tardiness ". But for sure he really loved playing with his life.
"Hmph!.". The youth had no choice but to enter the portal.
' I'm... Going to find a way to escape '.
Was his last thought before his back disappeared, he missed the worried expression on his grandfather's face though.
Li yue finally stood straight when he saw his new lady leave... Let's say master.
The fake smile on his face dropped too as he addressed the old man "good job, we'd keep our promise of lending a hand."
Grandpa Hei sighed, allowing his dispirited expression to show. All furious expressions disappearing "of course. Please take care of my grandson.".
Li yue nodded with a "depends on his performance.".
Old man Hei's head snapped to him when he heard this. "Perfor--." he wanted to ask which performance but, his words got cut off by the arrival of a bowing Liu feng who came to look for his young Lord.
"Sir, may I know wh--."
"Feng?.". Li yue cut off the light brown haired male who hadn't noticed him yet.
The show of swirling emotions in li yue's always vacant eyes didn't escape Liu feng's eyes as he raised his head.
"!!!"
He chose to stay silent and run away, all of his skin from head to toe, flushed red from embarrassment and... Something else. Don't ask me what.
Li yue let out a genuine yet low and mischievous chuckle when he saw Liu feng's childish behavior.
Old man Hei was confused yet refused to voice a word. He could somehow guess the chemistry between the two. but who said he wasn't surprised about the mute stoic beauty's behaviour of blushing allover and running away?.
Ah. he li yue, had been looking for the light brown haired male with big pink eyes for years now after the little demon ran away, but who could have thought the lucky aide followed his master to the after life.
"But now that I've caught you. Some chains and punishments would do the trick...".
The corner of his lips tugged up as he walked into the portal in an elevated mode. leaving the old man sighing.
Ah?. His little sunshine was back. How delightful.
