Yu Chi Feng felt that Feng Ting Liu was a bit strange today.
Nothing had changed in their daily life. Feng Ting Liu only ate half a bowl of breakfast, skipped lunch, read idle books in the room in the morning, and dealt with work with Xie Zi Cun in the study in the afternoon. Everything was the same as usual.
But if there was something strange, it was that Feng Ting Liu had inexplicably become clingy towards Yu Chi Feng.
He wanted Yu Chi Feng to stand by his side when eating, lean on Yu Chi Feng's chest when reading, and even when working with Xie Zi Cun, he wanted to stay in Yu Chi Feng's arms.
Yu Chi Feng was very confused, and Xie Zi Cun was very annoyed.
Feng Ting Liu himself showed no abnormal reaction. Even when he ordered Yu Chi Feng to hold him, he used a commanding tone.
"This matter is rather serious and must not be disclosed to outsiders..." Xie Zi Cun looked at the letter in his hand, then at Feng Ting Liu who was nestled in Yu Chi Feng's arms, and his eyebrows wrinkled like pickled eggplant.
"Speak." Feng Ting Liu didn't care at all, and the hand holding the tobacco pipe shook slightly.
"..." Xie Zi Cun pinched the bridge of his nose. "The Plum Blossom Society needs a batch of high-quality weapons, but most of them are guns and arrows. These are clearly not weapons for people in the martial arts world."
"Although the Second Prince has not made any moves yet, perhaps the news has leaked. The Fifth Prince also needs to deal with it." Feng Ting Liu casually knocked the pipe on the table, slowly took a puff, and exhaled smoke.
"This is the illegal manufacture of weapons. If the Fifth Prince fails to seize the throne, we will also be implicated." Xie Zi Cun rubbed his forehead in pain.
"We have done many things that could implicate us. This is just one more." Feng Ting Liu yawned lazily, moved his body, found a comfortable position in Yu Chi Feng's arms and continued to stay there, and said softly, "I'm thirsty."
Yu Chi Feng paused for a moment, then understood. He supported Feng Ting Liu's shoulder with one hand to steady his body, leaned forward, picked up the cup of cold tea, and brought it to Feng Ting Liu's mouth.
Feng Ting Liu didn't even mean to reach out, and took a sip of the tea with Yu Chi Feng's hand.
Being fed with a cup held by someone else is naturally not as accurate as drinking by oneself. After the cup was moved away, there was a circle of water around Feng Ting Liu's mouth. He stuck out his tongue to lick the tea away and then licked his lips.
Yu Chi Feng stared at that small section of the tongue, and his heart trembled.
It's like a kitten drinking water...
And it's so tempting...
Yu Chi Feng immediately became distracted. He put one arm around Feng Ting Liu's waist and handed the cup over again with the other hand.
"That's enough." Feng Ting Liu pushed his wrist.
Yu Chi Feng felt a bit regretful and put the cup down.
Xie Zi Cun witnessed the entire process of this pair of lovers showing affection. He felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would get a heart attack. So he accelerated the progress of handling things and ran out of Feng Mansion earlier than usual.
Feng Ting Liu casually tidied up the things on the table and leaned back into Yu Chi Feng's arms.
"Is the young master in a good mood today?" Seeing hisAbnormal behavior, Yu Chi Feng couldn't help but ask.
"Well? Why do you say that? Am I any different from usual?" Feng Ting Liu narrowed his eyes and took another puff of the pipe.
"Obviously, as soon as summer arrives, the young master complains about the heat and doesn't let me get too close." When Yu Chi Feng said this, there was a hint of grievance in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ting Liu chuckled. He put the tobacco pipe on the rack on the table and let it burn. He turned around, facing Yu Chi Feng, and unexpectedly straddled him, sitting directly on Yu Chi Feng's lap.
"Young... Young master..." Yu Chi Feng looked up at him, his Adam's apple bobbing.
Feng Ting Liu's fingers lifted his chin, gently scratching it as if teasing a puppy, and lowered his head to get closer to him.
"Why, are you dissatisfied?"
"No, no..."
Yu Chi Feng didn't dare to move, afraid of igniting something in this situation.
But Feng Ting Liu didn't care what he was thinking. He hooked his arms around Yu Chi Feng's neck, got even closer to him, and chuckled.
"What a clingy puppy."
As soon as these words were spoken, even though there were ice cubes in the room to cool it down, it still made one feel aheat from the inside out.
Yu Chi Feng put his arm around Feng Ting Liu's waist, muttering that he didn't know who was the clingy one, while thinking that this waist seemed to have become even thinner.
Their lips accidentally touched. The pipe on the table gradually went out, but another fire was completely ignited.
...
Feng Ting Liu was carried back to the bedroom wrapped in a quilt by Yu Chi Feng.
Yu Chi Feng blushed as he helped him clean up, and then carried water and a rag to the study to clean. There wereambiguous traces left on the ground, and even the table was not spared.
After cleaning the study, Yu Chi Feng opened the window to ventilate and disperse theambiguous smell, letting the wind blow it away.
After everything was tidied up, night had already fallen.
Perhaps it was because of the excessive energy consumption earlier, Feng Ting Liu surprisingly picked up his chopsticks at night. Although the amount of food he ate was not even one-fifth of what Yu Chi Feng ate, it was rare for him.
Feng Ting Liu's waist was sore. There were originally no scars on his fair back, but it wasAbruptly pressed against the corner of the table, leaving a mark.
After the meal, he lay on the bed, exposing his back, and let Yu Chi Feng apply medicine and massage it for him to relieve the pain.
"It's so easy for marks to be left on the young master's body..." Yu Chi Feng muttered as he spread the ointment evenly. "Next time, not in the study."
"It's clearly you who made these marks." Feng Ting Liu chuckled, and trembled slightly from the itch.
"Then I will definitely be more careful next time."
The smell of the ointment filled the room. The overly comfortable feeling made Feng Ting Liu feel drowsy, and he soon closed his eyes while holding a soft pillow. Seeing this, Yu Chi Feng put the ointment aside and covered him with a thin blanket.
"Rest, young master."
"Mmm..." Feng Ting Liu responded vaguely, shrinking towards the inside of the bed. "You come up too."
Yu Chi Feng was naturally delighted, but he first extinguished the candle in the room before getting on the bed and sticking to Feng Ting Liu.
Feng Ting Liu did not reject his approach tonight. He just hummed and leaned into Yu Chi Feng's arms, falling into a deep sleep.
Yu Chi Feng was overjoyed. He tightened his arms around Feng Ting Liu and gently kissed the top of his head.
"Good night, young master."
With that, he also closed his eyes, looking forward to having a good dream with the beauty in his arms.
The Feng Mansion was silent, with only the long chirping of cicadas and the rustling of leaves.
But just when Yu Chi Feng thought he was going to have a good night's dream, that shuddering pain suddenly attacked without any warning!
Yu Chi Feng suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the splitting pain in his head. The pain that made him feel nauseous was really unbearable!
Yu Chi Feng quietly withdrew the hand that was holding Feng Ting Liu, supported his head, and tightly grasped his hair with his fingers. The hair pulled at his scalp, but it did not relieve the pain inside. Instead, it intensified the torture.
His vision darkened, and he almost fainted from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and held onto his consciousness.
He was also afraid of waking Feng Ting Liu, so just like before, even though he was in great pain, he staggered out of the bedroom quietly and headed straight to his own quarters.
The door of the bedroom was almost closed silently.
But at the moment the door was closed, Feng Ting Liu, who should have been sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes!
A pair of crimson eyes shone unusually bright in the darkness, but there were undercurrents in the bottom of his eyes. He stared ahead, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Feng Ting Liu was not sleepy at all. He sat up, looked at the door, and had no intention of checking on Yu Chi Feng.
"It really is so..." Feng Ting Liu muttered to himself and lay back down on the bed. His eyes stared at the top of the bed, but his gaze was unfocused.
The secret letter that Yu Ji handed to him said that the mother Gu that suppressed Yu Chi Feng's memory recovery had died, and the child Gu might not survive for long either. Yu Chi Feng might have already had precursors of memory recovery, and now, a complete recovery is only a matter of time.
But Feng Ting Liu didn't expect the recovery to come so quickly.
Feng Ting Liu's mind was filled with countless thoughts. The overly chaotic thinking made it impossible for him to sort out what he was really thinking about for a moment. And the consequence of this was that it triggered the activity of the Gu in his head...
Another kind of stabbing pain exploded in Feng Ting Liu's head.
But Feng Ting Liu still maintained his original position, only grasping the sheets beside him with both hands.
"It hurts..."
He was already used to having Yu Chi Feng by his side when he had a headache. He wanted to bite Yu Chi Feng's shoulder or leave scratch marks on that strong back. But now, thinking of Yu Chi Feng, who was in the same pain just one wall away, he slowly curled up his body.
Feng Ting Liu didn't make a sound. Even though he was tormented to the point of losing his rationality by the intermittent pain, he didn't throw a tantrum and smash things as he used to, nor did he get out of bed to look for tobacco.
He didn't want Yu Chi Feng to know.
"Uh...!" Feng Ting Liu let out a muffled groan from the pain. He wanted to bite his lip to vent the pain, but suddenly remembered that it would leave marks and be discovered by Yu Chi Feng, so he released his lip and instead bit the corner of the thin blanket.
He was shaking all over from the pain. He subconsciously wanted to reach out, but he grasped at nothing.
In the end, he could only hold the thin blanket to ease the emptiness and headache.
"No..."
Feng Ting Liu murmured, his eyes unfocused, and gradually lost his rationality and perception. Perhaps because of this, tears actually accumulated in his eyes, flowing down his cheeks and wetting the pillow.
-
Yu Chi Feng fell on the hard and cold bed, feeling the constant throbbing pain in his head.
But under the stimulation of that stabbing pain, in that instant, various images suddenly flashed in his mind.
Perhaps it was because the pain was so severe that under the layers of stimulation, those memories buried deep inside suddenly gushed out, filling his mind.
The overly massive memories made him struggle to breathe, and those familiar yet strange scenes made him feel both excited and frightened.
He closed his eyes tightly and lay on the bed, tightly grasping his hair, and in those more than twenty years of memories, he searched for the figure he cared about the most.
Finally, in a sea of swords and shadows, he caught a glimpse of those crimson eyes.
He remembered. He remembered everything...
It turned out that the moment he met Feng Ting Liu, he fell in love with those deep red eyes...
