Finished

    After the trial ended, Hanying Sect seemed to have had its tight strings removed. The solemnity and tension that had shrouded the mountain gate for the past few days gradually dissipated, but Lian Mu did not just relax, but became even busier.

    The mountains of documents on his desk, the injury records of disciples of various sects, and the subsequent handovers with major families were like an invisible mountain weighing on his shoulders.

    After burying his head in the files all day long, his brows could not hide his fatigue. When the last official document was reviewed, Lian Mu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

    I stood up and opened the window, letting the fresh mountain breeze flow into the study, blowing away the dullness that had accumulated for many days.

    The autumn colors in Luo Maple Valley are thick, and the setting sun dyes the maple leaves all over the mountains and plains into burning red gold. The fine spots of light pass through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the bluestone slabs.

    On the stone table, Yun Suiran and Chi Yan were having their final game.

    Yun Suiran held the last card in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: “Zhi Yan, you are going to lose this game again.”

    Blazing flames, whose face was almost covered with notes, said disdainfully, “You haven’t drawn it yet, maybe you will be the old turtle in this game, hahahaha.”

    “Really?” Yun said casually, reaching out to Blazing Flame’s card, on the left…

    Chiyan looked indifferent

    On the right…

    There was a slight change in Blaze’s expression.

    Yun casually and neatly drew the card on the right side of Blazing Flame, “One pair, Blazing Flame”

    “Hahahaha, hurry up and put stickers on your face.”

    As soon as Lian Mu arrived at Chiyan’s yard, he saw Yun Suiran commanding Chiyan stickers with a happy face. The two of them were having fun together, and Lian Mu laughed.

    After losing another game, Chiyuan accepted the defeat and put the note on the side to his face, and then continued to invite Yun Suiyi, “Yun Suiyi, let’s play another game.”

    “I’ve been playing all afternoon.” Yun looked at the face covered with notes and smiled casually, “I haven’t lost enough yet.”

    “It’s okay anyway. The game of catching old turtles is so fun. Let’s play a few games.”

    “Okay” Yun nodded casually.

    “Yiyi” Lian Mu walked towards Yun Suiran.

    “Lian Mu” Hearing Lian Mu’s voice, Yun Suiyi, who was lazily watching Blazing Flames shuffling the cards, immediately turned around. His casual attitude was instantly replaced by surprise, “Are you done?”

    Yun Ran raised his head and looked at Lian Mu who was walking beside him, smiling.

    “I’m done.” Lian Mu’s eyes fell on Yun Suiran’s face. The notes quivering in the wind not only did not make him appear embarrassed, but instead gave him a lively childishness.

    Lian Mu couldn’t help but bend his eyes, his fingertips were hanging in the air, as if he wanted to touch the funny and cute decoration.

    The Blazing Flame opposite him couldn’t sit still. There were layers of notes on his face, almost drowning his facial features. With his rapid breathing, the notes rustled.

    He slammed the table so hard that the cards jumped: “Hey! Lian Mu, what do you mean by just staring at him and laughing? I post so many, isn’t it cute?” As he spoke, he tried to widen his eyes, but the result was that the paper on his eyelids shook even more, like a cat with fried fur.

    Mu didn’t even look at Chiyan, “Yiyi, I asked the kitchen to make taro cakes, smoked fish, sea urchin tofu, and stuffed osmanthus. Let’s go back and finish the meal, okay?”

    Yun Sui, who had not had dinner with Lian Mu for several days, nodded quickly.

    “Yun Suiran, you just promised to play a few games with me.” Chi Yan was unwilling to do so.

    “Come on, the outcome will be decided in one round.” Yun said casually and neatly.

    “Okay.” Zhuoyan’s arrogance suddenly rose, “I will definitely let you lose this round, or in front of Lian Mu, hahahaha.”

    There was nothing to look forward to in the ending. Yun Suiran, who had won another game, was in a good mood and was held by Lian Mu to go back to eat together. Blaine, who had left a note all over his face, felt sad in the cold wind.

    Lian Mu held Yun’s casual hand, and his fingertips unconsciously rubbed the lines on the other person’s palm. The autumn evening breeze was a bit cool, but the place where the palms touched felt warm.The two walked along the path covered with fallen leaves towards Fallen Maple Valley. The dead leaves under their feet creaked softly, as if they were responding to each other’s breathing.

    “Lian Mu, why did you come to pick me up today?”

    “It’s been a long time since I’ve been like this with Yiyi.” Lian Mu shook hands, holding hands tightly with each other. “I’ve been too busy these days and neglected Yiyi. It’s rare to get things done, so of course I have to come and take Yiyi home with me.”

    Yun Suiran was in a particularly good mood when he heard the word “go home”. He was even happier than losing an entire afternoon at poker.

    “Lian Mu” Yun stopped casually and looked up at Lian Mu eagerly, “I’m tired, can you carry me back?”

    Lian Mu didn’t say anything, he just turned around, slightly bent his knees, and motioned for him to come up.Yun jumped forward happily, wrapping his arms around Lian Mu’s neck, pressing his cheek against Lian Mu’s warm back, and the faint scent of pine lingered on the tip of his nose.

    Lian Mu held his legs firmly, and his steps were very steady when he straightened up. The path back to Maple Valley was a bit bumpy, but he walked calmly, not even breathing.

    The wind blew past his ears. Yun casually put his chin on Lian Mu’s shoulder, looking at the sunset on the horizon. He suddenly leaned over and whispered in Lian Mu’s ear: “Lian Mu, it feels good to be with you.”

    Lian Mu paused slightly and said with a smile in his voice, “Did Yiyi think the same way when he was on the bed?”

    “Humph, that’s not true.” Yun casually lowered his head and bit Lian Mu’s ear.

    The wet touch on his ears made Lian Mu tense up. He patted Yun Ran’s butt and kindly reminded him, “Yiyi, you haven’t had dinner yet, and I haven’t ‘eated’ for a long time.”

    “Obviously it was only the morning before yesterday…” Yun Suiyi subconsciously retorted.

    Lian Mu Wan’er said, “Yiyi, who made you taste so delicious? You should be able to feel that I exercise restraint every time.”

    Yun Suiran, who was fully aware that Lian Mu was restrained by him, snorted squeamishly, “Lian Mu, walk faster, I’m hungry.”

    “Okay.”

    “Yiyi, the affairs within the sect are over these days, let’s go play outside?”

    Yun casually lay on his back. His eyes instantly lit up when he heard this, his fingertips tightened unconsciously, and his tone was full of excitement: “Really? Then…then we can go for a walk outside?”

    “Yes.” Lian Mu responded and stepped steadily across a piece of bluestone. “When the weather gets warmer, I will take you to Jiangnan to see the lanterns and to Saibei to eat barbecue.” When he said this, he suddenly noticed that the person on his back paused, and there was a hint of hesitation in his originally excited tone.

    “But…” Yun Ransuo’s voice lowered, with a little cautious concern, “Hanying Sect…don’t you need to worry about it?” He thought of the files that Lian Mu had been reviewing late at night these past few days, and the elders who were always waiting outside the door. His fingertips unconsciously rubbed Lian Mu’s collar, “If it delays the business…”

    Lian Mu didn’t stop, but his posture carrying him became more stable, as if he wanted to protect the person firmly under his wings. He turned his head, his warm breath brushed the back of Yun’s casual hand, with a careless smile in his voice: “Master is here for those things, and besides…” He paused, and his voice was a little lower, but very clear, “I have been busy for a long time, and the next step is to accompany Yiyi, which is the main business.”

    Yun Sui’s heart skipped a beat, and the lonely moments he had felt these past few days were instantly filled with warmth. He couldn’t help but bury his face into the back of Lian Mu’s neck, silently happy.

    “Imagine where should we go first?”

    “Do you listen to me?”

    “Yes, listen to Yiyi. From now on, Yiyi and I will enjoy the beautiful scenery all over the world, okay?”

    “Okay.”

    Lian Mu only felt that the man on his back suddenly became quiet, and his warm breath pressed against his back through the fabric.

    After a moment, the five words “Lian Mu, I love you” were uttered very softly, wrapped in Yun Ran’s unique soft and waxy breath, and fell against the shell of his ear, like a stone thrown into a deep pool, causing huge waves in the lake of his heart.

    His steps suddenly stopped, and even the wind seemed to freeze at this moment.

    The next moment, Lian Mu’s arm suddenly exerted force and without any warning, he casually pulled Yun off his back.Yun Suiran exclaimed before he could say anything. He was turned around neatly and hugged Lian Mu’s broad chest firmly.

    Their eyes met, Yun Ran’s cheeks were still flushed, and his eyes were full of astonishment and shame.

    Lian Mu didn’t give him a chance to react. There was a secret fire that had been suppressed for a long time in his eyes. He held Yun Suiran’s waist firmly with one hand, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion.As the spiritual power surged around him, the scene in front of him suddenly distorted. When it became clear again, he was already in the familiar bedroom in Falling Maple Valley.

    Before Yun could see his surroundings clearly, Lian Mu strode to the bedside, almost half dragging and half hugging him into the soft quilt.

    Yun Sui was pushed into the quilt by Lian Mu off guard, and he was still in a dizzy state. The soft pillow sunk into a small pit. He subconsciously wanted to prop himself up, but his elbows were weak and unable to move, so he could only sink awkwardly in the center of the bed.

    Lian Mu’s tall body immediately pressed down on him, with a very oppressive pine wood aroma that instantly shrouded his entire body in shadow.

    Yun’s casual breathing suddenly stopped, and the temperature on his cheeks soared at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning red from the base of his ears to the depths of his collarbone.He subconsciously wanted to curl up his hands and feet and shrink to the corner of the bed like a frightened rabbit, but was firmly restrained by Lian Mu’s big hand around his waist, unable to move.

    “Lian, Lian Mu…what are you doing?” He stammered, his voice as thin as a mosquito, with obvious trembling. The usual heartless and bold energy was gone at this moment, leaving only panic and confusion in his eyes.

    He didn’t dare to look directly into Lian Mu’s deep pool-like eyes, so he could only turn his head in panic, but his eyes happened to fall on the overlapping shadows of the two of them – his own shadow was completely swallowed up by the other’s shadow, which looked a bit pitiful.

    Lian Mu’s warm breath sprayed on the side of his neck, arousing a small shiver. Yun froze at random, and subconsciously closed his legs. His fingers gripped the sheets under him tightly, and his knuckles turned white from the exertion.He could clearly feel the hot temperature coming from the other person’s chest, as well as the steady and powerful heartbeat, beating on his eardrums like a drum.

    “I…I haven’t had dinner yet…” Yun’s casual voice became softer and quieter, and finally turned into a breathy voice. He was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. The words “love him” he just said on his back were now like a soldering iron on his heart.

    He regretted it, he really regretted it. He should have known better than to impulsively say those disgusting words. Now he is fine. He was caught by the other party. Let’s see how he can hold his head up in the future!

    Lian Mu looked at the person under him. His eyes, which were usually full of cunning smiles, were now glistening with a hint of panic. His cheeks were so red that they were almost bleeding, and his fragile Adam’s apple was rolling up and down uneasily.

    At that moment, Lian Mu felt that the softest part of his heart was hit hard, and all the reason accumulated in his heart collapsed instantly.

    He did not act immediately, but just lowered his head, his forehead gently pressed against Yun Sui’s forehead, the tips of his noses rubbed against each other, their breaths intertwined, his voice was hoarse, but with unprecedented solemnity and affection: “Yiyi, I love you too, much more than you can imagine.”

    After the words fell, before Yun Yun could recover from the sudden confession, Lian Mu leaned over and kissed the chattering little mouth.This kiss was not as tentative and restrained as before, but rather almost predatory and overbearing, but it turned into tenderness the moment it touched the soft lips of the other party.

    The tip of his tongue pried open the teeth, rolled Yun Ran’s tongue and rubbed it, as if he wanted to convey all the love in his heart through this kiss, until Yun Ran softened into a puddle of spring water in his arms, his breathing was rapid and disordered, and he could only make a small whimper, before Lian Mu reluctantly let go of him.

    Yun was kissed all over at will, and she collapsed in Lian Mu’s arms. Her lips were red and swollen, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were dyed with an emotional water color, making her look particularly endearing.

    Lian Mu stretched out his thumb and gently rubbed the corner of his lips that he had kissed. The smile in his eyes was so gentle that it could make him cry.

    “Are you hungry?” Lian Mu asked in a low voice, with a hint of hoarseness still in his voice.

    Yun Sui Sui was so embarrassed that even the tips of his fingers were red. Hearing this, he buried his face into Lian Mu’s neck and said a muffled “hmm”, his voice as small as a mosquito.

    Lian Mu chuckled, stretched out his hands and lifted the person from the bed.Yun casually exclaimed, subconsciously hugged his neck tightly, and pressed his cheek against Lian Mu’s chest. Listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, the shyness in his heart calmed down a little.

    Lian Mu carried him to the dining table, placed him firmly on the chair, and carefully straightened his messy collar, then sat down and picked up his food with chopsticks.

    Yun sat casually on a chair, watching Lian Mu pick up vegetables and serve soup for him, and unconsciously raised a silly smile on his lips.

    “Eat it quickly,” Lian Mu said in a gentle tone.

    “Lian Mu, I also want to eat smoked fish.”

    “Okay, here you go.”

    “Lian Mu, it’s so interesting to play cards with Chi Yan. The expression on his face is clear at a glance. But before he realized it, he always thought he was unlucky.”

    “Don’t just laugh, have a sip of soup.”

    “Oh” Yun Suiyi bowed his head obediently and drank the soup, “Lian Mu, I also want to play catch with you.”

    “Okay, when Yiyi is full, let’s play with Yiyi.”

    “I also want to play Solitaire Caterpillar.”

    “Okay.”

    “I still want to play with you…”

    “Be good and eat honestly and don’t get angry.”

    “Hahahaha”
