Fallen At A Glance Chapter 38
byMom…it hurts so much
Yun casually fell into the suffocating pain and scalding alcohol. His consciousness was like a kite with its string cut off, leaving only one instinctive thought – to hold on to the remaining warmth.
Feeling the gentle touch from the top of his head, he turned his head unconsciously like a cub seeking shelter, and his chapped lips brushed against the inside of Lian Mu’s wrist on the side of his neck, where the skin was the most sensitive and delicate.
Feeling Yun rubbing his wrist casually and unconsciously, Lian Mu’s heart softened. The cold spiritual energy from his fingertips slowly penetrated along the contact skin, suppressing the alcohol surging in his body for him.
The unconscious Yun sniffed the cold cedar-like breath of Lian Mu’s body casually and greedily. The fingers that were holding on to Lian Mu’s clothes tightened convulsively, and his knuckles turned white, as if it was the only driftwood he had in the stormy sea, and he wished he could embed himself in this warm body.
As Lian Mu’s palms caressed his back gently and rhythmically, Yun Zuorong’s tense body finally softened little by little. He rubbed restlessly in Lian Mu’s arms, looking for a more comfortable position, while humming unconsciously: “It hurts…Mom…I hurt so much…” His voice was vague and broken, with a strong nasal sound.
Suddenly, a severe stomach cramp hit him, and he arched his body suddenly, curling up into a shrimp, pressing his forehead heavily against Lian Mu’s chest, and a painful whimper escaped from his throat.
After a while, the spasm passed, and he slumped back weakly. One leg unconsciously rested on Lian Mu’s calf, using this almost entangled posture to tightly lock on this hard-won peace.
Lian Mu only felt that the person in his arms was like a ball of melting snow, frighteningly hot, but so fragile that it seemed like it would dissipate in the next second.
Yun Suiran’s vague “Mother” was like a rusty iron nail, piercing into Lian Mu’s heart – he thought of all the misery this man had in the past, and how he was obviously scarred, but always pretending not to care about him hanging around in front of him.
Feeling distressed.
It was overwhelming love that almost drowned him.
Lian Mu’s palms that were patting him suddenly tightened, and he hugged the trembling body even more tightly, wishing that he could use his own body temperature to smooth out all the other person’s pain.
He lowered his head and pressed the side of his face against the top of Yun’s hot hair. There was a hint of imperceptible trembling and infinite pity in his voice: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
“You little fool…” Lian Mu cursed in a low voice, but his tone was full of doting and sadness that couldn’t be overcome, “Why have you tormented yourself like this?”
His movements were gentler than ever before, as if what he was holding in his arms was not a person, but a wisp of smoke that could dissipate at any time.
Lian Mu lowered his head and placed countless gentle kisses on the hot ear. It had a soothing meaning and seemed to be praying devoutly. The warm breath was intertwined, and the cool cedar breath gently wrapped and dissipated the strong smell of alcohol.
The originally cold and jade-like voice was now crushed into pieces, whispering in his ears over and over again with a heartache and hoarseness that could not be resolved.
“Go to sleep, I’ll stay here to watch over you, and I won’t go anywhere.”
Lian Mu’s voice was low and gentle, as if he was coaxing a fussy baby to sleep. His kiss fell on Yun’s casually frowning eyebrows, with a comforting warmth: “Good boy, relax your brows, don’t frown…”
As he spoke, he continued to gently rub Yun’s casually frowning eyebrows with his fingertips, trying to smooth out the deep Sichuan lines. His movements were so meticulous that he seemed to be painting a picture of a peerless treasure.
Feeling that the breathing of the person in his arms gradually stabilized, Lian Mu relaxed his tight jawline slightly. He gently pressed his chin against the top of Yun’s hair, rubbing it again and again, as if to confirm the lost warmth.
The moonlight from the window shone in, reflecting the deep affection and pity in his eyes. His eyes were so focused that it was as if he was the only person left in the world.
He didn’t speak any more, he just held her quietly, patting Yun Ran’s back patiently again and again, as if he was giving the most primitive comfort, and also seemed to be making a silent promise: I will always be by your side.
Yun casually fell into that cold cedar embrace, like a lonely boat that had been drifting for a long time and finally crashed into a sheltered harbor. The drunkenness and pain that had previously been rampant in his body seemed to be gradually soothed by the familiar and reassuring breath of Lian Mu.
His back, which was originally as tight as a bow string, slowly and completely softened under Lian Mu’s gentle pats, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted. He unconsciously rubbed himself into the warm embrace again, finding a more comfortable position, and his whole body almost melted into Lian Mu’s body temperature.
He buried his face deeply into Lian Mu’s neck, with the soothing smell lingering on the tip of his nose. His originally rapid and chaotic breathing gradually became long and steady.
Even the brows that had been frowning all night were slowly relaxing under the gentle rubbing of Lian Mu’s fingertips. He seemed to have seen some beautiful scene in a dream, and the corners of his mouth even slightly raised an almost invisible arc, letting out a contented and very light sigh.
At this moment, he was no longer the Yun Suiran who always had to put up spikes to protect himself, nor was he the Yun Suiran who was full of grievances and had nowhere to express his feelings.
He was just a ball of fire in Lian Mu’s arms, held carefully and gently comforted. He could finally let go of all guarding, rely unscrupulously, and sink with peace of mind.
…
Yun Suiran woke up to the refreshing scent of cedar.
The hangover headache made him frown subconsciously. The moment his consciousness returned, the chaotic and shameful scenes from last night came flooding back – the gaffe on the edge of the cliff, the undignified crying…”
His face instantly turned red, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.Yun opened his eyes stiffly at will, and met Lian Mu’s helpless but bottomless eyes. He looked like a cooked shrimp. He hesitated and wanted to explain: “Well… I last night…”
“Awake?”
Lian Mu didn’t give him a chance to speak. There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice that he had just woken up from, but it revealed unquestionable majesty.
He leaned forward slightly, curled up his slender fingers, and flicked lightly on Yun Sui’s smooth forehead.
With a “thud”, Yun casually felt pain, covering his forehead and widening his eyes, with the redness of a hangover at the end of his eyes, “Lian Mu…” His voice was trembling, with a strong nasal sound, and his eyes were wandering around in panic, but he didn’t dare to look at Lian Mu’s clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
The usual arrogance was gone at this moment, like a rabbit that had been wronged but didn’t dare to say anything.
He raised his hand to cover the place where he was hit. His fingertips were cold, but they couldn’t cover the hot temperature on his forehead.Yun casually lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes trembled violently like frightened butterfly wings, and his lips muttered slightly, as if he wanted to defend something, but felt that nothing he could say seemed weak.
“Who cried last night and said that his heart ached and wanted me to comfort him?” Lian Mu’s voice sounded above the head, with a touch of teasing, but it was so gentle that it made people’s hearts tremble, “Now that you are awake, you have learned to act stupid?”
This sentence stung Yun Sui’s blood even more. He was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrowed his head lower. He turned his face away, leaving Lian Mu with only a red ear. He muttered hesitantly: “Who… who is crying?It’s obvious that he drank too much wine…”
But the trembling shoulders and the blush that couldn’t be hidden had already betrayed him completely. At this moment, Yun Suiyi had lost all his edge and disguise, leaving only the shyness and awkwardness in his heart. He was just like a boiled prawn with its hair plucked and its shell removed, and Lian Mu could handle it.
Lian Mu looked at his appearance, the smile in his eyes flashed away, and then he calmed down and took something out of his sleeve.
It was a piece of exquisite jade that had been re-tempered. The originally warm jade was now flowing with a faint starlight, and it seemed that there was a flowing Milky Way sealed inside. The tentacles were warm, and it had obviously been infused with extremely pure spiritual power. It was not only a love object, but also an indestructible protective weapon.
“Don’t move.”Lian Mu’s voice was low and gentle.
Yun Sui was obediently still, and Lian Mu gently tied the exquisite jade piece back to his neck. His fingertips inadvertently brushed across his neck, causing a numb shiver.
“This is…” Yun Suiran was in a daze.
“You cried in the middle of the night and said you were cold.” Lian Mu fastened the lock for him and raised his eyes, staring at him with burning eyes. There was a bit of domineering and doting in his tone, “So I put you to sleep last night and gave you another warm-up. In addition, Yu Linglong, I added a killing array and a protective array. It is the second life besides my protective mind.”
Yun Ran looked down at the jade ornament on her chest that exuded a warm luster, and then looked at Lian Mu who was close at hand. The last trace of embarrassment in his heart disappeared, leaving only overflowing warmth and solidity.
His fingertips gently rubbed the warm jade stone, and he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Lian Mu watched him regain his curved look, shook his head helplessly, and reached out to rub the top of his hair: “If you dare to drink like that again, I will lock you in the bed next time and let you think about it while exercising.””
Yun Ran pursed his lips shyly.
The morning sunlight cast bright and dark shadows on Lian Mu Qingjun’s profile. His fingertips gently rubbed Yun Sui’s waist, his tone was careless, but every word struck Yun Sui’s heart like a hammer.
“Last night Chi Yan told me that someone came to propose marriage and wanted to introduce me to a girl.” Lian Mu lowered his eyes to cover the surging emotions in his eyes, and his voice was a little lower. “He said that the girl has a good family background and appearance, and she was carefully selected for me.”
Yun Sui Sui was lazily leaning on his shoulder. Hearing this, his body stiffened suddenly. The blush that was originally caused by embarrassment instantly faded away, and his face turned a little pale.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but felt his throat was dry and tight, so he could only stare blankly at Lian Mu’s side face.
Lian Mu felt the stiffness of the person in his arms, and pinched the soft flesh on his waist with a little force with his fingertips, and then continued: “Don’t worry about Yiyi, Master has already pushed it for me. He already knew that I would be with Yiyi in this life, so he didn’t tell me about it at all.” There was a hint of a faint smile in his tone, but Yun Suiran felt sour in his heart.
“You’ve been distracted these past few days, you’ve been in a daze at every turn, and you can’t sleep well at night, but are you worried about this?”Lian Mu raised his hand, pinched Yun Ran’s chin, forced him to raise his head, and stared at him with burning eyes, “Huh?Why didn’t you tell me if you knew this?Do you think I will push you out?”
Yun Sui’s eyes instantly turned red. He bit his lower lip and turned his head away stubbornly. His voice came out in a muffled voice: “I…I thought you…”
“You think I won’t care about you?Lian Mu interrupted him, with a hint of helplessness and distress in his tone, “In addition to cultivation, can you think of anything else in your mind?””
He sighed, took the person back into his arms, and gently patted Yun Ran’s back with his palms, as if comforting a frightened cat: “Besides this, what other nonsense did that guy Chiyan teach you, huh?Have I given you some messy ‘love secrets’ again?”
Yun Sui stiffened, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated to speak.
When Lian Mu saw this, he was not in a hurry, he just lowered his head and came close to his ear, his warm breath sprayed on the sensitive auricle, and his voice was coaxing: “Do you want to tell me what you mean?Otherwise I will press you on this bed for three days and three nights.”
“Don’t!” Yun Suiran was so frightened that he quickly reached out and covered Lian Mu’s mouth. His peach blossom eyes were full of pleading, “I said… I just said it…”
He lowered his head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: “Zhi Yan said… that if you want your sweetheart to not leave, you must be… generous, and you cannot quarrel with people related to your sweetheart… you cannot be jealous of someone who likes your sweetheart…”
At the end of the story, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
After hearing this, Lian Mu was so angry that he almost laughed out loud. He grabbed Yun Sui Sui’s waist, lifted him up, and looked at him face to face, with anger in his eyes: “Yun Sui Sui!Are you stupid?Do you believe in this crooked way?”
Yun Sui felt guilty at the sight of him, and his eyes turned redder, like a deer that had been greatly wronged. He bit his lip and said nothing, letting tears roll in his eyes, but stubbornly refused to fall.
Lian Mu looked at Yun Suiran’s expression of being greatly wronged, but yet so stubborn that he refused to bow his head, and the anger in his heart was almost gone.Why is this person so stupid?He believed everything others said, but he didn’t believe in himself.
“Yun Sui Sui, do you really think I am reluctant to punish you?”
