As he spoke, he kissed his lips downwards, his eyes becoming increasingly darker. He kissed Chu Fengqing’s neck, leaving several marks on it with his teeth.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, neither opened his mouth to stop him nor made any move to stop him. He just gently grasped Ji Yujin’s sleeve.
Once upon a time, he looked at Ji Yujin lying lifelessly in front of him. That feeling, helplessness, extreme pain—how cruel it was. He understood that kind of fear, that kind of endless pain.
It was not until he smelled a hint of blood in his mouth that Ji Yujin suddenly reacted.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the teeth marks on Chu Fengqing’s neck in the moonlight. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and gently brushed the teeth marks. “Sor-sorry…”
“I…”
“It’s fine.” Chu Fengqing reached out and covered his hand, hoping to calm him down, but it didn’t work at all.
“Sorry…” Ji Yujin rested his forehead on his shoulder, as if he were too embarrassed to face him. “I’ll go get the medicine.”
Chu Fengqing shook his head. “No need.”
But Ji Yujin couldn’t hear him at this moment. He was about to get out of bed when he was grabbed by Chu Fengqing. He held his hand and said in a slightly louder voice, “Ji Yujin, I’m fine. Calm down.”
Ji Yujin’s black hair was messy, and there was a little blood on his lips, which made his black hair and red lips particularly obvious. The two people’s hair was intertwined, and it was already impossible to tell whose was whose, and it was randomly spread on them.
The two looked at each other. Ji Yujin gritted his teeth and instantly released his strength. He smiled bitterly and said, “Did I scare you?”
“Qing’er.” He reached out and held him in his arms, sucking away the blood that oozed out with his lips. “I’m sorry.”
The wound was a little bit broken, and the broken skin should be very small, so Chu Fengqing didn’t feel much pain. If it was a little painful just now, then now there was only numbness and itchiness.
Ji Yujin clenched his fist and moved away from Chu Fengqing, “I hurt you.”
“Whether it was my intention or not, I hurt you. So…”
So should he stay away from him and wait for him to calm down temporarily? But he couldn’t say it out loud, his terrible possessiveness and those extremely selfish thoughts controlled him.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, and he found Ji Yujin’s lips in the moonlight. He leaned over and kissed his lips. “No, you don’t have to do anything. You didn’t hurt me. It’s not even a wound.”
He spoke softly, and his voice was like the evening breeze on a summer night or the mist on a winter morning.
“Ah Jin, I won’t leave. You said you wanted to lock me up and not see anyone, so we won’t see anyone.”
Ji Yujin’s pupils shrank slightly, and then he smiled, “You lied to me.”
Chu Fengqing smiled. He originally wanted to set a deadline, but then he thought again, there was no need for that. Ji Yujin had a resolute character and would be able to get out of this situation in no time.
Under Ji Yujin’s surprised eyes, he said slowly, “I won’t lie to you, I believe you.”
Ji Yujin was silent. He did not react for a long time. The moonlight moved from the window to the center of the room little by little. He finally moved. He looked through the window at the bright moon hanging in the sky, slowly put his forehead against Chu Fengqing’s forehead, and curled his thin lips slightly. “The moonlight tonight is the most beautiful I have ever seen.”
The moon in winter looks a bit colder, but exceptionally bright. It shines on the world, as if it can wash away all the filth.
On the second day, Chu Fengqing touched his neck with his hand. Medicine had already been applied there. Ji Yujin applied the medicine to him while he was asleep. He couldn’t help but wonder whether Ji Yujin saw that the wound was about to heal or not when he applied the medicine to him.
If it was an hour or two later, the wound would have healed.
He sat up. His legs were still weak, but much better than at the beginning.
He wanted to try to move to the wheelchair by himself, but before he could lift the quilt, Ji Yujin opened the door.
Ji Yujin: “It’s cold outside, how about not getting up?”
Chu Fengqing shook his head. “It is because of your unbridled indulgence that I have been awake for such a long time but still cannot walk properly.”
The two of them tacitly didn’t talk about what happened last night.
Ji Yujin: “Don’t worry, I’m worried that your legs will hurt. There is a hot spring on this mountain. I’ll take you there to soak in the water at night. It will help the blood circulation. How do you think?”
Chu Fengqing blinked, “Have to go out?”
Ji Yujin paused and said, “En, go out.”
However, what Chu Fengqing didn’t know was that the hot spring was on the mountain and no outsiders would come here.
Ji Yujin helped him get clothes, put them on for him, and after he had tidied himself up, he carried him to the wheelchair. After he carried him to the wheelchair, he wrung out a towel and helped him wipe his hands carefully. No matter how big or small, Ji Yujin took care of everything.
At night, Ji Yujin really took Chu Fengqing to the hot spring. There was actually an inn built in this hot spring. However, the strange thing was that there was no one in the inn. Chu Fengqing was wrapped in fox fur from head to toe, with only a pair of black and white eyes showing.
Chu Fengqing: “Whose inn is this?”
This mountain is built so luxuriously.
Ji Yujin raised his eyebrows: “But do you think it’s good?”
Chu Fengqing: “I just feel it’s a waste.”
In this deep mountain place, someone actually built such a luxurious inn. He must be either very rich or very stupid.
Ji Yujin: “……”
“En, Li Yu’s.”
Chu Fengqing nodded. “That’s not surprising.”
Li Yu, who was still diligently handling government affairs in the government office, sneezed loudly. He rubbed his nose with his hand and said, “No, if I stay any longer, none of these letters will be related to me.”
He remembered that Ji Yujin had a hot spring resort somewhere on a mountain here, so he had to find a time to go there and take a bath.
Zhao Li glanced at him and said, “Why don’t you go and see master and ask him to come out of the mountain?”
Li Yu: “……”
“Oh, there are only a few letters, not enough to read. Let’s get back to work.”
Qing Niao rolled his eyes at him and didn’t even want to say anything sarcastic anymore.
A few days passed like this. The sun was better that day. Chu Fengqing stood in the yard without any support in his hands. Ji Yujin frowned and opened his hands, looking at him worriedly.
Chu Fengqing: “Stand ten steps away from me.”
Ji Yujin stared at him with his fox eyes, which clearly showed “disagreement”.
Chu Fengqing: “I won’t fall, I’m just walking a few steps.”
And even if he fell, how could he get seriously injured on such flat ground?
Ji Yujin couldn’t resist Chu Fengqing, so he stood ten steps away under his clear and cold eyes. He should have been unruly in his red clothes, but now he was very obedient.
Chu Fengqing’s legs were still trembling a little when he walked, and his walking posture was completely different from his previous immortal-like posture. The only thing that remained unchanged was his back, which was still straight.
“Just wait there, I’ll walk towards you.”
He was dressed in light blue robe, his black hair was tied up with a jade crown, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he walked towards Ji Yujin crookedly step by step, one step, two steps, three steps…
Ji Yujin originally bent over and wanted to go over to support Chu Fengqing at any time, but looking at the sweat on his forehead and his slow steps, he stared into those clear eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood.
Five steps, six steps, seven steps…
If your lover is trying his best to come towards you, what is there to be afraid of?
Chu Fengqing tried every means to resolve his knot in his heart. No matter how far apart they were or how difficult it was, he would come towards him, trying his best.
Don’t be afraid.
Ji Yujin’s eyes were red, and his heart was beating like thunder. He slowly stood up and opened his arms.
He smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”
Eight, nine, ten.
Chu Fengqing threw himself into Ji Yujin’s arms. Ji Yujin hugged him tightly and held him in his arms.
This is Chu Fengqing’s first ten steps.
Chu Fengqing: “You cheated. You finally took half a step forward quietly. I saw it.”
Ji Yujin kissed the side of his neck and said with a smile, “But no one stipulates how big a step must be.”
Chu Fengqing curled his eyes and said, “Taking advantage of opportunities.”
Ji Yujin laughed shamelessly: “If I didn’t have a little cleverness, how could I have tricked you into it?”
He paused and said softly, “The medicine in the yard is all used up. I’ll ask Yinyin to bring it over tomorrow.”
Chu Fengqing glanced at him, “Are you sure?”
Ji Yujin: “I’m sure.”
“But can you leave me only five steps next time? You can’t be so overbearing.” He smiled and said, “I find that I love you a little more every day than the day before. What should I do?”
Chu Fengqing was stunned, then smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming.
He knew that Ji Yujin would definitely understand.
