Fallen At A Glance Chapter 18

Won’t do it

In the next few days, Yun Sui was strictly prohibited from getting out of bed and walking around by Lian Mu.

At first, Yun Suiran relied on his strong recovery power and secretly used his spiritual energy to dispel the congestion. However, as soon as he regained his energy, he was noticed by Lian Mu who was standing by. He was directly pushed back to the bed and received another moderate beating. He was warned that if he continued to disobey, he would be tied up to recover from his injuries.

Yun Suiran was so angry that his cheeks were bulging, like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. He could only lie on the bed and stare at the beam in a daze.

By the third day, most of the injuries on his back had healed, at least the redness and swelling on his skin had subsided, but he felt uncomfortable all over, as if grass had grown in his heart.

“Lian Mu, I’m hungry.” Yun casually lay on the bed and shouted weakly.

Lian Mu heard the sound and walked in from the outside, holding a bowl of steaming medicated porridge in his hand, with a hint of helpless doting in his eyebrows: “I just fed you snacks half an hour ago, how long have you been hungry now?”

“Can it be the same? Desserts are snacks, and rice is rice!” Yun turned his face away casually, not looking at the bowl of porridge, “I don’t want to eat this, I want to eat Yunfu’s beef soup, the tenderest beef, and sprinkled with green scallions…”

As he spoke, his voice lowered, with a hint of unnoticeable nostalgia and sourness.

Lian Mu paused in his steps and his eyes darkened. He walked to the bed and sat down, scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew it gently to cool it, and handed it to Yun Suiran’s lips.

“This is Taoyuan. It’s a little far away from Yun Mansion. We can’t deliver hot food.” His voice was gentle but firm. “I cooked this with my own hands. I added herbs to soothe the mind and replenish qi. It’s good for your health. Be good and open your mouth.”

Yun casually glanced at the mediocre bowl of porridge, and the anger that had been suppressed for several days suddenly came up. He turned his head suddenly, and the porridge spoon almost touched his cheek.

“I won’t eat it! It tastes terrible!” Yun Ran started to make trouble unreasonably, “What’s so delicious about the food you made? It’s cold and hard. I want to eat meat! I want to drink strong liquor! If you don’t get it for me, I will… I will go on a hunger strike to show you!”

He was like a spoiled child, venting all his unhappiness on the only person in front of him who was good to him.

Lian Mu was not impatient at all, he just looked at him quietly for a while. His deep eyes reflected Yun Suiran’s willful and childish look at the moment. There was no blame, only a deep tenderness.

He put down the bowl, reached out and tucked Yun’s messy hair behind his ears, and lightly traced his white neck with his fingertips.

“Okay, if you don’t want to eat, I won’t eat.” Lian Mu compromised without any bottom line, “Then what do you want to eat, I will prepare it immediately. It’s just that strong alcohol is harmful to the body, so you can’t drink it now.”

“I don’t believe it! You just don’t want to do it to me!” Yun Suiran remained stubborn, his eyes slightly red, “You just want to trap me and see me make a fool of myself! Lian Mu, you big bastard!”

While he was cursing, he quietly raised his eyes to see Lian Mu’s reaction.

Lian Mu sighed, pulled him into his arms, and let him lean against his shoulder. This posture made the unhealed injury behind Yun Sui’s back feel uncomfortable. He snorted lightly, but did not struggle.

“Well, I’m a bastard.” Lian Mu responded in a low voice, gently resting his chin on the top of Yun’s head, rubbing it again and again, “I’m a bastard who specializes in serving Mr. Yun. You can scold him as much as you want, as long as you don’t make yourself angry.”

There was an almost inaudible smile in his voice, like warm sunshine, instantly dispelling the gloom in Yun Sui’s heart.

Yun leaned casually in his arms, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat. The awkwardness and grievance in his heart suddenly disappeared. He actually didn’t really want to eat beef soup. He had only eaten the beef soup from Yunfu once, and he took a sip before being sent away by his mother. He had already forgotten the taste.

He didn’t really dislike Lian Mu’s porridge.

He was just…a little scared.

Afraid of this feeling of being cared about wholeheartedly by someone but unable to do anything about it, this feeling felt strange to him and made him feel a little uneasy.

“…Actually, it’s not that unpalatable.” Yun Ran’s voice was muffled, with a hint of awkward compromise.

“Huh?” Lian Mu raised his eyebrows, his tone full of indulgence.

“I mean, your bowl of porridge…” Yun casually buried his face deeper, his voice as thin as a mosquito’s fly, “If you are willing to feed me, you can barely have a taste.”

“Okay.” Lian Mu chuckled, feeling a pleasant vibration in his chest.

He took the bowl again and scooped up a spoonful of porridge again. This time, he did not pass it to Yun Sui’s mouth. Instead, he lowered his head and tasted it himself. After confirming that the temperature was suitable, he leaned down and used his lips to gently and gently put it into Yun Sui’s mouth.

The warm porridge, with a faint medicinal fragrance and Lian Mu’s breath, slid into Yun Sui’s throat, and the warmth spread from his stomach to his heart.

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water, flowing quietly indoors.Yun closed his eyes casually, feeling the unique sweetness between his lips and teeth and the warmth of the person in his arms.

never mind.

Yun Ran said to himself in his heart.

Being trapped by such a person doesn’t seem to be something difficult to accept.

Another day

Yun casually lay on the bed bored, squinting at Lian Mu who was pruning flowers by the window, and shouted in a long tone: “Lian Mu——”

Lian Mu’s hand stopped for a moment, and the scissors accurately cut off a failed peach blossom. Then he turned around slowly and leaned against the window lattice to look at him: “What’s wrong?”

“My back hurts.” Yun casually told lies and frowned in a serious manner, “You must have hit me too hard last time and injured your muscles and bones. Now it hurts so much when you move.”

Lian Mu’s eyes fell on his intact waist, which was even plumper due to good maintenance. There was a hint of insight in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

“Oh?” He walked slowly to the bed and looked at him condescendingly, with a hint of playfulness in his voice. “Since it hurts so much, I think I’ll forget about today’s rehabilitation. It’s just right, so you don’t think I’m tormenting you.”

“Rehabilitation?” When Yun Ran heard these two words, he immediately sat up straight like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, “What rehabilitation? I didn’t agree! What are you going to do again?”

When he got excited, it affected the remaining discomfort behind him. He couldn’t help but let out a “hiss” and fell back into the soft quilt.

Lian Mu quickly held his back and let him lean into his arms to prevent him from falling so embarrassingly. He sat on the edge of the bed, picked up a green fruit and shook it in front of his eyes.

“It’s nothing,” Lian Mu said in an understatement, “I just want you to try sitting up and stretch your muscles. Lying down all the time is not good for your health.”

“I don’t care!” Yun cockily tilted his head and raised his chin, “I’m going to lie down! If you dare to force me, I’ll…I’ll yell indecent!”

Lian Mu was amused by his rogue appearance, and the deep laughter vibrated in his chest. He reached out and pinched Yun Sui’s swollen cheeks. The feeling was so good that he couldn’t help but rub it again.

“Indecent assault?” Lian Mu raised his eyebrows and came closer, his warm breath spraying on Yun Ran’s ear, “Master Yun, this is midnight, you and I are alone in the same room, and you shout indecent assault, it seems like… I am the one who suffers the loss?”

Yun Suiran’s face suddenly turned red, half angry and half ashamed. He raised his hand to punch Lian Mu, but was easily held back by the opponent.

“You! You are arrogant!” Yun Sui was angry and wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was as if it was stuck and he couldn’t do it at all.

Lian Mu held his hand, put the green fruit into his hand, and softened his tone: “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. This fruit is called Qingtang. It is unique to Taoyuan Town. It is sweet and relieves greasiness. Try it. If you like it, I will pick it for you tomorrow.”

Yun casually looked down at the fruit in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at Lian Mu’s eyes full of expectation and tenderness, and the little awkwardness in his heart suddenly disappeared.

He snorted awkwardly: “…Who knows if it tastes good? What if it’s sour?”

“If it’s sour,” Lian Mu coaxed patiently, “I’ll warm you a pot of the best pear blossom white and rinse your mouth, okay?”

Yun Suishui reluctantly picked up the fruit and took a small bite.

The crisp pulp exploded in the mouth. It was indeed sweet and juicy, with a light floral fragrance, which instantly dispelled the dullness of the past few days.

“…It’s okay.” Yun swallowed the pulp casually, but couldn’t help but take another bite.

Lian Mu watched him eat deliciously, and the smile in his eyes deepened, like a pool of spring water, so gentle that it could drown someone.

“If it’s delicious, eat more.” He picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped off the juice from the corner of Yun’s mouth, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure. “When you recover from your injury, I will take you to the depths of Taoyuan to see fireflies. The fireflies at night are like stars falling from the sky. You will definitely like it.”

Yun casually ate until his cheeks were bulging. After hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked out the window. The moonlight was like water, flowing quietly in the courtyard, as if he could already see the fireflies flying all over the sky.

The fruit in his mouth was even sweeter.

“…What if it rains?” He asked vaguely, but his eyes were bright.

“I won’t do it.” Lian Mu’s answer was concise and concise, but it carried an unquestionable promise.

At this moment, Yun Suiran’s heart was filled to the brim with these words and the person in front of him.

He stuffed the remaining half of the fruit into Lian Mu’s mouth and ordered domineeringly: “You eat it too! This is what I reward you for!”

Lian Mu took a bite in cooperation, and the sweet juice flowed down his throat, which was sweet to his heart.

“Thank you, Master Yun, for the reward.” He responded with a smile and squeezed Yun Suiran’s hand.

Outside the window, the moonlight is just right and the fragrance of flowers floats.

Inside the house, the two of them cuddled together, sharing a piece of fruit and a quiet and sweet time.
