A whisper heard only by the two of us

    Yun Suiran fell into a drowsy sleep in Lian Mu’s arms, his consciousness floating on the edge between waking and dreaming. At this hazy moment, the words that made him blush last night were like uninvited butterflies, intruding into his mind one after another.

    He seemed to have returned to yesterday’s night with flickering candlelight. Lian Mu’s eyes, which were usually as cold as a cold pool, were now burning with scorching flames, locking him tightly.

    “I mean, see clearly, who I am…” Lian Mu’s voice was extremely hoarse, and every word seemed to be grinding out from the depths of his throat, with an almost uncontrollable depression.

    Yun Sui Sui was so kissed by him that her whole body went limp and she could only whimper softly: “Well… Lian Mu… Lian Mu…”

    “What do you call me?” Lian Mu was not satisfied. He increased the strength in his hands, and with an almost paranoid possessiveness, he lowered his head and bit Wei Wuxian’s earlobe, coaxing softly, “You taught me just now, what should you call me?”

    “Husband… Wuwuwu… Husband…” Yun Suiran couldn’t bear it, and could only follow him over and over again, with a softness and dependence in his voice that he was not even aware of.

    And at the end, when all his strength was drained from him and he was held in Lian Mu’s arms like a puddle of mud, he seemed to hear Lian Mu say something in his ear in a tone that was almost a sigh.

    What does that sentence mean?

    Yun Sui wrinkled his nose unconsciously in his sleep and frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember.Lian Mu, who was holding him in his arms, felt his movements and thought he was about to wake up, so he gently patted his back and whispered comforting: “Go to sleep, I’m here.”

    This familiar sound and touch made Yun Ran feel at ease again, and his consciousness once again sank into the charming sea of memories.

    ——”Yiyi, you can only be mine.”

    Yes, that’s it.

    In Yun Sui’s sleep, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, creating a sweet and shy arc that he didn’t even notice.That was not a question, but a declaration that Lian Mu used all his strength to imprint deep in his soul.

    At that time, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. He could only use his last strength and mumbled “Hmm” as a response.

    Now that I think about it, in that “hmm”, there was coquettishness, resignation, and a sense of belonging that was finally settled and willing.

    Lian Mu seemed to feel the change in his mood, and tightened his arms, burying him deeper into his embrace.Yun casually let out a sigh of contentment in his sleep, and like a cat being coddled, he nuzzled towards the source of warmth again.

    Yun Ran’s consciousness floated up and down in his deep sleep. Suddenly, a clearer and warmer memory emerged slowly, like agarwood under the water.

    That was after all the storms subsided, and he was so weak that he slumped softly in Lian Mu’s arms like a pool of completely melted spring water.Lian Mu did not let him go immediately, but wiped him with a warm wet handkerchief extremely patiently and gently.

    Lian Mu’s movements were very slow, with an almost sacred importance, and he carefully brushed every corner from his neck to the mottled marks on his chest.

    Yun Suiyi was so tired that he didn’t even bother to open his eyelids. He could only feel Lian Mu’s warm breath spraying on the top of his hair, and that low voice that seemed to be filled with magic, ringing in his ears over and over again.

    “Yiyi, go to sleep when you’re tired.” Lian Mu’s voice contained a trace of hoarseness that had not faded away, but was so gentle that it could squeeze water out of his mouth.As he spoke, he sandwiched Yun Ran’s cold feet between his warm calves and used his own body temperature to warm him.

    Yun Suiyi said “hmm” in a daze and shrank into Lian Mu’s arms.

    Then, Lian Mu tightened his arms and hugged him tighter, so tight that there was no gap between them.He lowered his head, placed his lips against Yun’s casual ear, and gave him the final “advice” in a tone that was almost a sigh, but extremely solemn.

    “I mean, after I leave, you are not allowed to smile so pretty to others.” “You are not allowed to put yourself in danger for others.” “You are not allowed to let anyone except me hold you like this again.”

    Every time he said a word, he casually placed a light kiss on Yun’s forehead, eyes, and lips, as if to put his mark on these overbearing orders.

    “You are mine…only mine.”

    Yun Suiran was a little itchy from his kiss and wanted to hide away, but was held tighter. He felt ashamed and annoyed, but at the same time felt extremely relieved. He could only vaguely agree: “…I know…I will listen to you…”

    Yun Suiran was awakened by a sudden chill.

    In the dream, he was nestling in Lian Mu’s warm embrace, feeling the reassuring cool breath and steady heartbeat.But the feeling in reality is completely different – the place around me is empty, leaving only the residual warmth that has not completely dissipated, and a panic-stricken emptiness.

    He opened his eyes suddenly and saw an empty bed and a gauze curtain that was filled with sunlight but seemed a bit dazzling. The person who should have been by his side was gone.

    “Lian Mu?” He spoke subconsciously, his voice hoarse because he had just woken up, with a trace of panic and grievance that he was not even aware of.

    No one answered, only the wind outside the window gently blew the gauze curtains, making a slight sound.

    Yun Sui suddenly sat up, and the brocade quilt on his body slipped off, adding a bit of coolness. The dark cross-collar middle coat on his body slipped halfway from his fair shoulders due to excessive movements, revealing a delicate collarbone and an ambiguous red mark like a cinnabar mole left last night.

    Because he had just woken up, the already loose middle coat on his body seemed even looser, and the collar was slightly open, revealing a ray of spring light without even realizing it.

    He didn’t bother to adjust his clothes and jumped out of bed with his bare feet. His long, ink-like hair was not tied up and spread over his shoulders like a waterfall. A few strands hung playfully on his chest, swaying gently with his movements.A few strands of hair were a little messy due to his sleeping position, sticking to his smooth forehead and red cheeks. Not only did he not look embarrassed, but he added a bit of lazy style.

    The thin lips that usually sported a narrow smile now looked a little pale because no makeup was applied, and they were slightly pouted, adding a bit of coquettishness and grievance.

    He looked around, the room was quiet, and the cold figure seemed to have evaporated. All the tenderness in the dream just now was gone, leaving only an empty room and a heart that suddenly became empty.

    “Leave? Huh, eat me up and wipe me clean and then go back.” Yun Suiran felt a sour grievance in his heart.

    “Lian Mu is the big bad guy.”

    Yun casually hugged his knees and huddled himself into a small ball, feeling empty in his heart.

    Just when he was about to be overwhelmed by the sudden “separation anxiety”, he caught a glimpse of the pillow out of the corner of his eye.

    There, something lay quietly.

    Yun was stunned for a moment, then moved closer. It was an exquisite piece of jade, carved entirely from cold chalcedony. Its overall color was not rigid and pure white, but like the frost flowers condensed on pine needles in the early winter morning, with a hint of translucent crystal, and a restrained brilliance flowing under the light.The color is as warm and moist as the first snow, but there is a hint of warmth that is not easy to detect.

    Its shape is cleverly carved into two closely interlocked lotus leaves. The veins of the leaves are clear and delicate, and the tentacles are warm, as if they contain a steady stream of spiritual power.

    When still, it is only warm and restrained, but once the wearer’s spiritual power or mind is touched, the entire jade pendant will reveal a soft, warm white halo from the inside out. The halo is not dazzling, just like the mist under the moonlight, hazy and beautiful.At this time, the spiritual luster flowing in the veins of the leaves will become more obvious, like two silvery streams, rushing happily among the lotus leaves.

    Yun Suiran suddenly remembered what happened last night about this exquisite jade.

    When he was in “dire straits” last night, Lian Mu whispered in his ear, “I mean, I have refined a new spiritual weapon in the past few days and named it ‘Tongxin Linglong’.

    Yun Ranran remembered that he said “hmm”. In fact, he was so busy thinking about himself that he didn’t even hear what Lian Mu was saying.

    Yun Ran reached out curiously and picked up the spiritual weapon. As soon as his fingertips touched the warm jade, he felt a familiar cold spiritual power belonging to Lian Mu, gently “licking” his mind along the spiritual veins of his fingertips. He narrowed his eyes in comfort.

    “Together with one heart and one mind?” Yun played with the small and exquisite jade casually, and couldn’t put it down, but he said coldly, “Huh, what’s the use of this gadget?”Is it possible that he can still talk to Lian Mu, a big bad guy?”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly felt that the exquisite piece in his hand was slightly warm, and a clear thought, with Lian Mu’s unique cool breath and a hint of smile, sounded directly in his mind:

    “I’m here.”

    Yun Ran was startled, and suddenly raised his head and looked around the room.

    Then he called out tentatively, “Lian Mu?”

    The exquisite hand in his hand felt warm again, and Lian Mu’s calm and gentle voice, with a hint of imperceptible endearment and smile, sounded clearly in his mind:

    “Well, I’m here, Yiyi, are you awake?”

    Seeing that the room was empty except for him, Yun Suiran instantly understood – the sound came from this Linglong!

    “You…when did you leave?”

    “Not long after Yiyi fell asleep, I left.”

    “Oh”

    Hearing Yun’s casual tone, Lian Mu smiled, “You didn’t see me when you woke up, did you miss me?”

    “How is that possible?” Yun Ran said forcefully, “You have exhausted me these past few days. Now that you are gone, I can get more rest. No one will disturb my sleep at night. I don’t know how happy I can be.””

    Yun casually spoke righteously, but there was reluctance and longing on his face.

    “Yiyi” Lian Mu laughed softly. He didn’t say anything, he just raised his other hand and flicked his slender fingers.

    “Ding——”

    A crisp jade chime sounded, and the “Tongxin Linglong” on Yun Sui’s waist moved in response, emitting a soft warm white halo.

    Immediately afterwards, Lian Mu’s smiling and tender thoughts clearly sounded in Yun Suiran’s mind:

    “Yiyi, your heart is beating very fast.”

    Yun Sui was stiff all over.

    Lian Mu’s voice also sounded in his ears at the same time, with a hint of coaxing and a hint of unmistakable tenderness: “It is saying that its owner is about to jump out of joy because the person he misses most is talking to him.”

    Yun Suiyi froze, his face turned red from his ears to his neck, and he became angry with embarrassment, “Lian Mu!”

    Lian Mu’s voice was so gentle that it could make you cry: “Yiyi, I told you before that you must be honest with me, especially now that I am not with you. If you are unhappy and want to hide from me, you will have to bear the grievance and sadness yourself.”

    He paused, and his tone became softer, with an almost doting sigh: “Good boy, can you give me a chance to coax you?”

    Yun Sui was silenced by him, his handsome face turned red, like a ripe apple, making people want to take a bite.All his pretense and bravery, in front of Shiying, seemed to have encountered the mist of sunlight and instantly dissipated without a trace.

    He simply smashed the jar and muttered angrily: “…I woke up and you weren’t around, I wasn’t happy, Lian Mu.”

    Lian Mu listened to the frank and dependent words he heard from Cong Yun’s casual mouth, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed, “I have been waiting for Yiyi to wake up after I left, so that I could chat with Yiyi through Linglong.”

    “Can others hear this Linglong chatting?”Yun asked casually.

    “It was refined by me using a secret method. It and the one on my body are twins of one body. It is a “whisper” that only the two of us can hear.

    At this moment, Yun Ran’s heart was filled to the brim with this little Linglong and the gentle words coming from Linglong’s end, sweet and warm.This is not only a spiritual weapon, but also an uninterrupted thread that Lian Mu weaves for him, leading to the other person’s heart.

    He looked at the jade carving in his hand, and the warm touch made him couldn’t help but rub it gently with his fingertips. Perhaps the coolness of the jade made him sober up, and then he looked down at himself.

    He was wearing an ink-colored coat hanging loosely on his body, with the neckline wide open, letting out the spring sunshine; his long, ink-colored hair was messy, and a few strands of hair were still stuck in the corners of his red eyes.He raised his hand to tuck the few strands of disobedient hair behind his ears, and when his fingertips touched the slightly cold earlobes, he remembered that he must be looking miserable at the moment.

    But when he thought of the gift left by Lian Mu, all the disappointment and grievance just disappeared.Yun Ran stood beside the bed with his bare feet for a while, his dark clothes swaying slightly around his ankles.He looked down at the jade carving in his hand, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved in a sweet arc, and the stars in his eyes were brighter than the morning light in the sky.

    He lay back on the bed and held the precious jade carving in his arms, like a cat that got its favorite toy.Yun casually pulled the brocade quilt, revealing only a delicate little face, and her long ink-colored hair spread like water on the snow-white pillow. The black and white were clear, sketching out a beautiful picture of a lazy lady.

    He closed his eyes with a satisfied smile on his lips.
