496: Eating tofu in front of the family

Eating tofu in front of the family

Ji Yao was like a part of him and without him, he would be lost. There will honestly be no point in living. Rui Fei pressed his hand at the back of Ji Yao's hand that was touching his cheek and moved his face a little to the side before planting a soft tender kiss in the palm of his lover's hand.0

His eyes stung his tears threatening to fall again. He kissed his palm once more in a long heartfelt kiss that directly penetrated deep into Ji Yao's heart.

Ji Yao watched him kiss his hand with affectionate eyes. His heartstrings were tugged at by Rui Fei's actions that he found himself whispering, "I love you so much... You are my everything." A streak of tears flowed from his beautiful eyes down his cheek but he didn't even realise it.

It was after Rui Fei raised his head that he saw this. He didn't want to make Ji Yao cry. He just couldn't help himself letting out all his pent up emotions. If he had known his lover would cry he would hold back.

He lowered Ji Yao's body and the two of them lay down on the bed together. "Don't cry..... I am sorry, so sorry.... don't cry okay," he whispered while kissing Ji Yao's tears away.

Maybe it was because Rui Fei kept apologizing or that he recalled the fear that he felt yesterday when he was suddenly taken away by that celestial that he also broke down. He recalled the feeling of having that sharp icy cold blade on his neck.

All he could think about at that point was whether dying now could protect his lover. He genuinely thought at some point that he was going to die in the dark space with no body to bury. 

He wanted to stop crying but the tears just kept flowing and Rui Fei kept apologizing while stroking his hair. He wrapped his arms around Rui Fei's neck and pulled him down into an embrace. The two stayed like this for a very long time.

This would be the last time in a long time they would have time for each other like this. Because of their identities, the world had to be fixed and cities rebuilt. Citizens of the imperial city needed to return and major decisions had to be made. As the saying goes 'heavy is the head that wears the crown'.

"Hey psst..... why are we all here?" whispered Zhang Li to Lan Wu as they took their seats at the front of the main hall, "I thought this was a family meeting."

Lan Wu also had no idea why they were all summoned here. The entire main hall was packed with the former prime ministers to the emperor standing at the other end of the hall right by the exit as though preparing to run away at any moment if things go south.

The building that had been about to collapse just last night had been repaired all thanks to the craftsmanship of the Nocru men and women. At the front of the main hall was the dragon throne dug up from who knows where.

"I don't know. I just got here," whispered Lan Wu while staring at the door looking out for Huishe Yue's figure.

"Oho haha, I forgot to ask. How is your ass? That Huishe Yue guy seems to like it pretty rough," he said with the pretty rough spoken in a low voice as he winked at him.

Lan Wu, "....."

"Ah.... ah, Sei Sei why? Argh shit," he swore clutching at his chest like he had been hit pretty hard.

Pa!

That was the sound of Lady Ching Sei's hand landing on Zhang Li's ass. "Quit whining and I will give your ass special treatment tonight," she said causing a couple of heads to turn to look at them with a look that seemed to say, 'what the fuck did we just hear.'

Zhang Ci hurl air as he watched this. He came back home to this scene making him sick to his stomach. Now they were doing it again.

Zhang Li stopped pretending and suddenly turned into an obedient little pup as he sat down and whispered, "Yes ma'am."

The three musketeers who had just reunited couldn't help but chuckle while staring at the pair of lovebirds.

Xunshi Zhe: "Hahahaha special ass treatment Hahahaha!"

Big Hei: "I am curious hehehe... do you, do you think it involves a belt hehehehe?!"

Old Du: I admit I am a little jealous Hahahaha!!!

But two seconds later their laughter abruptly died down replaced by screams and screeches. Lady Ching Sei had brazenly beaten up her boyfriend's bullies.

"How is it? Happy now?" she asked Zhang Li as she stroked his hair.

Zhang Li suppressed a smile as he nodded his head. "Seriously?" muttered Zhang Ci staring at his father with a burning gaze.

Zhang Li turned to look at him and asked, What? Jealous?"

Zhang Ci, "....."

Yes, a little bit jealous. His father pursued this woman to the ends of the world and won in the end unlike him. His spring love ended before it even began.

Meanwhile, Ji Yao and Rui Fei were held up in a room with both families sitting opposite them in awkward silence. That's because Ji Yao had hickeys on his neck and Rui Fei had swollen lips and puffy eyes.

Huishe Yue couldn't help but raise his finger as he asked, "What did you two do last night exactly?"

"Oh my gosh, inappropriate, dage," said Huishe Xiyue as the rest of the Huishe family reprimanded him. Ji Yao's face went so red you would think he was going to boil over. Rui Fei on the other hand wasn't at all embarrassed. He helped Ji Yao pull up his lapel to try and hide the conspicuous hickeys but it didn't work. The hickeys were all the way up there.

Pa!

His hand that was pulling Ji Yao's collar was smacked away. Who didn't know that he was eating tofu while pretending to be honest with his hands?
