TEMBMBIWB Chapter 45

Tan Zhui regained his senses and looked around.

He relaxed again, what was he thinking? How could Hibiscus appear in his room?

“Master?”

“Master, can you hear me?”

Tan Zhui blinked, realizing that the voice wasn’t his imagination.

It seemed to be coming from the wall beside him.

He slowly reached out and touched the wooden wall.

The wall seemed very thin, so the soundproofing was poor.

Sui Chunsheng was indeed sleeping next door.

He called out a few more times, but Tan Zhui didn’t respond.

The young man seemed to sigh, “Master, are you asleep?”

“It seems like he’s asleep.”

He spoke to himself.

“Master, I can’t sleep. I have so much I want to say to Master…”

Tan Zhui moved closer to the wall, leaning against it as he listened to the young man’s words.

“Master…”

The young man’s call seemed to have a hint of a sob in it, sounding hoarse.

Tan Zhui heard it clearly, his heart felt like it had been pinched hard, and a layer of bitterness instantly welled up.

He couldn’t help but curl up, sinking into the young man’s cloak.

He seemed to hear low sobs coming from the next room.

Tan Zhui’s heart was almost completely clenched, he wanted to go and hug him, to touch the young man’s loose hair, to kiss his forehead and fingertips, to comfort this crying child.

But he couldn’t.

This wall seemed to have become extraordinarily heavy, isolating everything.

His hand caressed the wall, he seemed to be able to feel the young man’s slightly trembling shoulder blades.

Tan Zhui slowly leaned closer, he gently, gently, placed a kiss on the wall.

His forehead rested against the wall, his eyes slightly closed.

The young man’s sobs did not disappear.

Tan Zhui’s eye sockets were a little hot, he knew why the young man was crying.

This crying was like the crying after drinking in the fox cave earlier, both filled with the young man’s unspeakable feelings, the young man’s burning love, his extremely restrained and painful struggle.

Tan Zhui didn’t understand.

“Why do you like me so much, someone like me.”

The White Deer Immortal thought he was a very boring person, old-fashioned, serious, and without any waves.

It seemed that he couldn’t give the other person any emotions or fun.

He wasn’t as pure and noble as his confession implied.

He always felt that he was a hypocritical person, a person who would use any means necessary.

To cure his old illness, he had already sacrificed his last bit of purity.

Someone like me, how am I worthy of your affection?

My dearest Hibiscus, my dearest Hibiscus, my dearest Hibiscus ah…

Tan Zhui bit his lip tightly, tears already covering his cheeks.

This was the second time the two of them cried in unison.

However, just like the first time, he could only hear the young man’s crying.

Just like this love affair.

…

Late at night.

Tan Zhui suddenly opened his eyes, his clear blue eyes were a little gloomy, and he stared warily at the wall in front of him.

He sensed an aura.

It was the familiar Xiu Luo aura.

The White Deer Immortal immediately waved his hand and put on his clothes, heading towards the young man’s room.

He suddenly pushed open the door to the next room, and an aura rushed at him.

A flash of water light passed by, and the Fu Shou Sword had already been drawn.

It pierced towards the black mass of energy beside the bed, the speed was very fast.

Just now, this black mass of energy was circling around Sui Chunsheng, it wasn’t something that had emerged from the young man’s body, it was external.

Tan Zhui glanced at the open window, his eyes sinking.

“What is it!”

The black energy was split open by the sword, but it instantly condensed into a ball again.

Tan Zhui flew forward and fought with it. The black energy gradually transformed into a human form, and the power within was not to be underestimated.

After a few rounds of attacks, the black energy was defeated. It unexpectedly exhaled a breath towards Tan Zhui.

It was extremely fishy and smelly.

Tan Zhui quickly used his sleeves to block it, but the black energy quickly kicked him, using the force to slip out and run away.

When the White Deer Immortal regained his senses, he realized that he had fallen directly onto the bed.

The young man groaned, furrowing his brows and opening his eyes.

His reaction was very quick, and he suddenly pressed the person onto the bed, one hand gripping the person’s neck, his apricot eyes cold.

It wasn’t until a wave of agarwood scent that he realized who it was.

Sui Chunsheng immediately came to his senses, the coldness in his eyes swept away.

“Master?”

Tan Zhui hummed, his brow slightly furrowed.

Only then did the young man notice that he was still gripping his Master’s neck, and he quickly let go.

Sui Chunsheng: “Master, I’m sorry, I thought it was a bad guy.”

Tan Zhui touched his neck, and whispered, “It’s alright.”

“There really was a bad guy just now.”

“I felt the Xiu Luo aura, so I rushed over. I accidentally fell onto the bed while fighting it.”

Sui Chunsheng sniffed, there was indeed a lingering Xiu Luo aura.

Tan Zhui used his hand to prop up his chest, “Get up from my body first.”

Sui Chunsheng quickly got up, “Sorry, I was still sleepy.”

Tan Zhui: “It’s alright.”

“That thing just now should be a remnant of the Xiu Luo clan, but when it was wandering by your bed, it didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, it seemed to be investigating.”

Tan Zhui glanced at the young man, his voice softening a bit, “Don’t worry, I will report it to the Nine Heavens when I return.”

Sui Chunsheng grabbed his sleeve and chuckled, “I’m not afraid, with Master here, I will definitely be fine.”

Tan Zhui met the young man’s gaze, unable to help reaching out to touch his head.

Sui Chunsheng immediately leaned in, rubbing his palm.

Tan Zhui felt a tightening in his chest at the young man’s smiling appearance, and couldn’t help but clear his throat.

“Hibiscus.”

Sui Chunsheng blinked, “Hmm? Master.”

Tan Zhui: “Don’t stare at me like that.”

Sui Chunsheng was a bit confused, “Ah? Why… Does Master not want me anymore?”

Tan Zhui was stunned, “When did I say…”

Sui Chunsheng pouted, “If you don’t let me look, the next step is to throw me away.”

Tan Zhui’s head ached at his logic, so he said, “As you wish, you can look as much as you want.”

The White Deer Immortal got out of bed, looked at the time, and then reached out to close the window.

Tan Zhui tried his best to make his voice sound calm, “It will be dawn in another two hours, you sleep a little more, I’ll watch over you.”

Sui Chunsheng was taken aback, “Master…”

Tan Zhui: “In case that thing comes back, sleep.”

Sui Chunsheng leaned against the bed, he wanted to reach out and grab his master’s sleeve, his voice was tinged with a coquettish tone, “Master, this bed is big enough for both of us.”

“Master, if you stand there watching me, I won’t be able to sleep either.”

Tan Zhui hesitated for a moment, meeting the young man’s somewhat aggrieved eyes, and finally sighed helplessly.

The White Deer Immortal compromised slightly, lying down at the edge of the bed, keeping a large distance between them.

Tan Zhui whispered, “Sleep.”

“I’ll watch over you.”

Sui Chunsheng curled his lips, sharing half of his quilt with his master, and cautiously leaning closer, before closing his eyes again.

Tan Zhui waved his sleeve to extinguish the candle flame, in the moonlight, he saw the young man’s sleeping face.

As if possessed by a ghost, he reached out to touch the young man’s hair, the corner of his mouth lifting unconsciously.

Perhaps feeling something, the young man hummed softly twice, leaning even closer, his head resting on his shoulder, fast asleep.

The two shared body heat, cuddling together in the night.

Perhaps it was because his surroundings were too warm, or perhaps it was because his body was too tired, the White Deer Immortal also fell asleep without realizing it.

When the crowing of a rooster sounded, the harsh sunlight shone on them.

Tan Zhui was the first to open his eyes, he found that he was tightly embraced by the young man in his arms, and he was also naturally leaning against the young man’s chest.

He instinctively struggled, but found that the young man was a bit too strong.

But the young man still felt his struggle, the young man groaned and leaned closer, his voice still muffled with sleep, “Hmm… Master, let me sleep for a little longer… Master, I beg you…”

Tan Zhui was somewhat helpless, pushing a few times, but didn’t break free.

The young man’s whispers buried in his shoulder made him feel a numb sensation all over, and the young man pulled him back into his arms.

Tan Zhui turned his gaze, the young man’s eyelashes were thick, his eyes tightly closed, and those cicada wing-like eyelashes were very attractive to him.

So, the White Deer Immortal chuckled lightly and slowly extended a finger to gently touch that cicada wing.

The cicada wing trembled lightly, and he seemed to see the young man’s eyelids tremble with it.

Sui Chunsheng mumbled, “Master… Hmm…”

Once the first step was taken, his courage grew.

Tan Zhui touched his eyelashes again, seeing that the young man was only humming and acting coquettish, he became even bolder and started to touch the young man’s cheeks, his somewhat pale knuckles moving down from his forehead to the tip of his nose.

He paused for a moment, not knowing whose breath stopped at that moment.

His fingertips continued down, landing on the young man’s lips.

They touched gently, and one could see the lips trembling slightly.

The White Deer Immortal, for the first time, did not restrain himself. His fingers continued to move down along the chin until they brushed against the mountain range of his neck.

Suddenly, Tan Zhui felt the world spinning.

The young man suddenly pressed him down underneath him.

At that moment, the two of them looked at each other, Tan Zhui’s eyes trembled, and he noticed the desire in the young man’s eyes.

This intense desire, like a newly awakened beast, was currently watching him.

The White Deer Immortal actually felt a bit scared.

Tan Zhui instinctively reached out to push the young man’s shoulder, but was grabbed back.

The young man’s breathing was a little heavy, his eyes still fixed on him, the hand gripping him was trembling slightly, as if he was restraining something.

Tan Zhui had never seen the young man like this, except in the illusions after taking the medicine.

He called out in fear, and struggled even harder.

“Let go, let go of me!”

He didn’t even dare to look at the young man’s expression and eyes, he averted his gaze and struggled, “Let go…”

Sui Chunsheng slowly leaned down, Tan Zhui felt the young man’s breathing becoming more and more heated, the two of them were about to touch.

Tan Zhui gritted his teeth, “Impudent! Impudent!”

His wrists were held so tightly by the young man that they hurt, he lowered his voice, “How dare you…”

Sui Chunsheng mumbled, “Master, it was clearly Master who was teasing me…”

“Master, you clearly knew… yet you still came to tease me… Master, you did it on purpose…”

The young man’s voice was tinged with grievance.

Tan Zhui really couldn’t find any words to retort, after all, it was indeed he who had overstepped the line first, and now he seemed extremely hypocritical.

But he couldn’t just let the young man do as he pleased, what kind of a system was that?!

Just at that moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

The young man felt the person under him immediately tense up, his breath breaking for a moment.

Sui Chunsheng curled the corners of his lips, “Master, someone is knocking on the door.”

“But… the latch isn’t closed…”

…
