Fallen At A Glance Chapter 45
byTo my little greedy cat
After the water mirror was set up, Lian Mu casually found a reason to report to Sect Master Lian and leave first.
Knowing that his apprentice was thinking about someone, Lian Qing waved his hand directly.
Lian Mu turned around and walked off the high platform, his black robe gently swaying in the breeze.However, as soon as he stepped out of everyone’s sight, his pace gradually became faster, and even brought a gust of breeze, and he walked quickly towards the dormitory.
Pushing open the bedroom door, the familiar warm fragrance hit his face. Lian Mu stepped lightly and held his breath for fear of disturbing the tranquility in the room.He walked to the bed and saw that Yun Sui was still sleeping, curled up in the brocade quilt, only revealing a fair and delicate little face, breathing long and steady, long and dense eyelashes casting a small shadow under the eyelids, looking well-behaved and innocent.
Lian Mu’s eyes softened, and he gently took off his outer robe, only wearing a middle coat, lifted the corner of the quilt and lay down in it.
Almost as soon as he attached it, Yun reacted casually.He hummed unconsciously, and groggily arched into Lian Mu’s arms. Like a cat eager for warmth, he found a comfortable position, and his arms naturally rested on Lian Mu’s waist, hugging him.
“Lian Mu…” Yun’s casual voice had a thick nasal sound, and was as soft and sticky as a glutinous rice dumpling in one’s mouth, sticky and wrapped around the apex of one’s heart.
“Yes, I’m here.” Lian Mu turned sideways, supporting his head with one hand, and gently patted Yun Ran’s back with the other hand, his movements as gentle as if he were comforting a frightened cub.
Yun Suiran seemed to hear his voice, his brows relaxed, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he fell into a peaceful sleep again.
Lian Mu looked at the sleeping face of the person in his arms, and felt soft in his heart.He lowered his head, placed a kiss as light as a feather on Yun’s casual forehead, and whispered, “Go to sleep, I’ll stay with you.”
At noon, Lian Mu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the huddled figure under the quilt. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Yun’s cheek casually exposed outside the quilt with his fingertips. The place where he touched it was warm and soft, with the warmth of a drunken person who had just woken up.
“Wake up, please.” Lian Mu’s voice was low and sweet, like the tail notes of a cello, gently echoing in the silent room.
The person under the quilt showed no response at first, and Lian Mu patiently called out twice before he saw the human figure arching up and making a very impatient snort. Like a cat that had been awakened, it buried its head deeper, hiding its entire face under the quilt, leaving only the messy back of his head.
“I can’t afford it…” A muffled voice came out from under the quilt, full of sleepiness and resistance, “Sleep for another half an hour…”
Lian Mu raised his eyebrows. Instead of being annoyed, he actually found this scoundrel look particularly interesting. He lay on his side, half of his body pressed against the edge of the brocade quilt, holding the person in his arms through the quilt, and his warm breath fell on the other person’s ear., with a trace of imperceptible temptation: “If you go to bed again, you will miss lunch. Today the kitchen made your favorite crystal shrimp dumplings, as well as freshly baked crab roe soup dumplings, meat sauce noodles, and milk tea that has been warmed overnight…”
Before he finished speaking, the person under the quilt moved obviously. It was obvious that he was aroused, but his body was still lying on the bed honestly, refusing to cooperate.
“Hmm… shrimp dumplings…” Yun murmured casually, turning over with his back to Lian Mu. He looked like a cooked prawn, curling up even tighter. His arms grabbed the corners of the quilt and wrapped it tightly, as if it was the last line of defense. “You… you eat first… keep it for me…”
Lian Mu looked at the “silkworm chrysalis” wrapped in the quilt and laughed helplessly.He stretched out his slender fingers and gently poked the other person’s waist through the quilt – that was the place where Yun Suiran was most ticklish.
“Hiss—” Yun Sui’s hair suddenly exploded, and his body bounced uncontrollably. Then he buried his face deep into the pillow in anger, his voice was hoarse and aggrieved as if he had just woken up, “Lian Mu… you bullied me…”
“Looks like he’s awake.” Lian Mu took it easy and lifted a corner of the quilt. The cool air got in, making Yun Suiran have no choice but to lean into Lian Mu’s arms for warmth.
Lian Mu took the opportunity to stretch out his long arms and directly hugged the person, including the quilt.
Yun exclaimed casually and subconsciously hugged his neck, hanging on him like a koala. Her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were still blurred, with lingering sleepiness and resentment of being forced to get up.
“Lian Mu! You…” Yun casually buried his face in his chest and protested dully, “Put me down… I want to sleep…”
“Since you can’t get up by yourself, I have to take you to wash up myself.” Lian Mu held him firmly and walked towards the washroom behind the screen, with a hint of joking in his tone, “Or do you want to go to lunch with your messy hair like this?”
When Yun heard the words casually, he could only accept his fate and bury his face deeper, letting him hold her. However, the eyes that occasionally peeked out from the crook of his neck and secretly glanced at the food on the table revealed the sweetness and expectation in his heart at this moment.
The midday sun casts light spots on the tabletop of the round rosewood table. Lian Mu’s wrist holding the pot was slender and strong, and the milk tea was poured out. The milky white and light brown blended together, exuding a sweet and warm fragrance.
He first gently pushed the tea cup to Yun’s hand, and his fingertips inadvertently brushed the cold back of his hand, and then turned the plate of crystal shrimp dumplings over. In the transparent dumpling skin, the pink and tender shrimps were faintly visible.
“Drink some tea first to warm your stomach.” Lian Mu’s voice was cold and gentle, which sounded particularly warm to his ears.He picked up a crab roe soup dumpling and dipped it in the vinegar dish. The spicy aroma of the shredded ginger was wrapped in the soup, and then he gently placed it on Yun Suiran’s small celadon dish, “Be careful not to burn it.”
Yun Suiyi was already enticed by the aroma, but he still picked up a snow-white meat bun and dipped it in some sauce. His fingertips were stained with some oily sauce color.He didn’t hand it over directly, but turned his wrist and made a small arc in the air before bringing it to Lian Mu’s lips, with a smile on his eyes: “Try it first. The chef made this sauce very fragrant.”
Lian Mu didn’t take it with his hands, he just leaned forward slightly, opened his thin lips, and took the meat bun into his mouth together with the bit of sauce on his fingertips.The warm touch brushed across his fingertips, bringing with it wet heat. Yun Suiran retracted his hand as if he had been burned. His ears instantly turned crimson, but he still pretended to be calm and muttered: “Eat, whatever you want…” Before he could finish his words, he blushed.
Lian Mu chewed slowly, but his eyes fell on his red earlobes, and the smile in his eyes deepened.He picked up his tea cup and touched it lightly with Yun Ran’s cup, and the porcelain voice sounded clearer: “To my ‘little greedy cat’.” There was still a mark of his lips on the edge of the tea cup. Yun Yi looked at the light red, and his heartbeat inexplicably skipped a beat.
“Eat your shrimp dumplings quickly.” Lian Mu picked up a shrimp dumpling and gently opened a corner of the dumpling wrapper with chopsticks to reveal the full filling inside, then handed it to his mouth. “Let it dry for a while and it won’t be hot anymore.”
Yun Ran opened his mouth and bit it obediently, and the sweet juice exploded on the tip of his tongue. He narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, like a cat being groomed.Chewing with bulging cheeks, he muttered vaguely: “You can eat too, today’s soup dumplings are particularly fresh.”
Lian Mu looked at the grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed the corner of his lips with his fingertips.The warmth of his fingertips pressed against his skin. Yun rubbed it casually and subconsciously. When he realized what he was doing, his whole body was almost buried in the bowl.Lian Mu laughed softly, picked up another chopstick and put the stir-fried assorted shrimp into his bowl: “Eat slowly, no one will compete with you.”
The sunlight was just right, making their shadows overlap on the table.
Lian Mu’s cheeks turned red as he watched Yun casually eat, and the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed.He didn’t speak anymore, but from time to time he would pick up vegetables and add tea for the other party, and the occasional touches between his fingertips would be filled with silent affection.
After the meal, Lian Mu called someone to collect the food. He took Yun Ran and sat down on the soft couch by the window.
The sunlight filtered through the carved window lattice, making their silhouettes look soft and lazy.Lian Mu was half leaning on the pillow, his long legs stretched out casually, while Yun Suiyi snuggled into his arms, like a satiated cat, finding the most comfortable position and resting his head on Lian Mu’s shoulder.
“It’s enough.” Yun casually complained lazily, but one hand was still caressing the side of his waist unconsciously, where there were snack crumbs that were accidentally stained when Lian Mu fed him just now.
Lian Mu chuckled, and the vibrations in his chest came through the skin against each other, with a reassuring rhythm.He stretched out his slender fingers and slowly and slowly smoothed out the few strands of Yun’s forehead hair that had become raised due to staying in bed. His fingertips occasionally brushed against the warm ears of the other party, causing the person in his arms to shrink slightly.
“Why didn’t I see you shouting when I was eating just now?” Lian Mu’s voice was a bit joking, and his other hand was wrapped around Yun Suizui’s waist, and his fingertips were caressing each other through the soft material, as if he was appeasing a greedy little beast.
Yun snorted casually and nuzzled into his arms dissatisfiedly, her cheeks stained with a thin layer of red due to embarrassment: “It’s you…it’s you who fed me so well.”
Hearing this, Lian Mu’s smile deepened. He lowered his head and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against Yun’s casual temples. His warm breath fell on the side of the other person’s neck, with a trace of unnoticeable attachment: “Then I’ll feed you every day from now on, okay?”
Yun’s heartbeat skipped a beat. He raised his head and looked into Lian Mu’s eyes as deep as the abyss. The sunlight coated those usually cold eyes with a layer of warm gold, which clearly reflected his appearance at the moment – his hair was slightly messy, his eyes were red, full of dependence and love.
“Yeah.” Yun casually responded softly, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.
Looking at his appearance, Lian Mu’s heart felt hot. He couldn’t help lowering his head and pressing a soft kiss on the glistening corners of his lips. This kiss was more tender and lingering, as if he was tasting the remaining sweetness and confirming this stable companionship.
After a long time, the lips parted.
Lian Mu pressed his forehead against Yun Suiran’s, and their breaths intertwined, warm and long.His hands around the other party’s waist tightened, as if he wanted to rub the person into his bones and blood, and his voice was low and solemn: “It’s free, with you by my side, this life will be enjoyable.”
Yun Sui’s eyes were slightly hot, and he put his arms around Lian Mu’s neck, buried his face in his neck, and responded with a muffled sound.Outside the window, spring birds are chirping, but inside the house is filled with tranquility and warmth.
At this moment, there is no need to say anything, only each other’s heartbeats, telling the deepest love.
