Fallen At A Glance Chapter 8
byWhy Are You Still Kissing Me
“Lian Mu, are you sick? Who said I’m yours? Who told you to hug me?” The moment they entered the room, Yun Suiyi immediately started settling the score.
“You still dare to talk back,” Lian Mu looked angrily at Yun Suiyi. “What kind of place is the Azure Cloud Sect? You actually brought Yun Zhao and barged in like this. Did you ever consider…”
Yun Zhao, it was Yun Zhao again. Yun Suiyi felt a pang of bitterness. Not only did Lian Mu casually give Yun Zhao fruits that Yun Suiyi himself couldn’t get even if he asked, but he was also solely concerned about Yun Zhao’s safety, even forcefully taking him away to protect him.
Yun Zhao, I am truly growing more and more jealous of you.
“Yun Suiyi, are you listening to me?”
“With all due respect, Lian Mu,” Yun Suiyi looked at Lian Mu with a grim expression. “Yun Zhao is my younger brother. Even if I were to harm him, he wouldn’t say a single word against me. As for you, you’re an outsider. Who asked you to interfere in my affairs, and to unilaterally claim that I am your person? Do you know that he has already noticed me?”
“He?” Lian Mu suddenly realized. “You stayed behind to attract Xiao Cheng!”
“Not just me. If you hadn’t sent my brother away, he would have stayed with me to attract Xiao Cheng.”
“Yun Suiyi, are you insane? How old are you and Yun Zhao? You actually planned to have him stay with you to attract Xiao Cheng? That Xiao Cheng is nearly fifty years old. He’s too old to even be your father.”
“Mind your own business!” Yun Suiyi shouted angrily. “If you hadn’t come out and obstructed me, my plan would have already succeeded.”
“Does your mother know you’re doing something like this with Yun Zhao?”
“What does that have to do with you?” Yun Suiyi’s eyes were fierce. “Yun Zhao has already been sent away by you. I hope you won’t disrupt my plan again!”
Yun Suiyi finished speaking and turned to leave.
Lian Mu immediately grabbed his wrist. “Yun Suiyi, are you truly out of your mind? What is so attractive about Xiao Cheng? Do you know that although this person appears virtuous, he is actually extremely debauched, and has ruined countless innocent people behind the scenes?”
“I know. Of course, I know. I know even more clearly than you do. My mother was one of them.”
Lian Mu’s pupils suddenly dilated.
“That’s why I must use every means possible to attract Xiao Cheng, do you understand?” Yun Suiyi’s eyes were red-rimmed, his voice trembling.
“Yun Suiyi, Xiao Cheng doesn’t know you are his son. He only thinks you are some stunning youth from somewhere. Judging by his expression just now, he has already set his sights on you.”
“I am not the son of that beast.” Tears welled up in Yun Suiyi’s eyes.
“Yun Suiyi,” Lian Mu’s voice softened. “You don’t need to ruin yourself for a beast.”
“So what? As long as I can kill him,” Yun Suiyi’s tears fell. “I’m a man, do I still care about being taken? I’ll just consider it being bitten by a mad dog.”
“You wouldn’t mind being bitten many times?”
“What did you say?”
“With your Spiritual Power, it’s very difficult to subdue Xiao Cheng. Not to mention, given Xiao Cheng’s nature, anyone who gets into his bed is likely to have their Spiritual Power sealed. Do you think you have a high chance of successfully killing him in one attempt?”
Yun Suiyi remained silent, tears dripping down one by one.
“Yun Suiyi, leave with me tomorrow morning. I’ll take you to find Yun Zhao. Killing Xiao Cheng doesn’t have to happen in the next few days.”
“No,” Yun Suiyi refused. “I… I must stay by Xiao Cheng’s side.”
“Why?”
“What does it matter to you?”
“Yun Suiyi,” anger flashed across Lian Mu’s face. “Have you considered what fate awaits you if you fall into Xiao Cheng’s hands? What about your brother and your mother?”
“My mother sent me here.”
“What!” Lian Mu’s eyes narrowed sharply.
“My mother told me to come and seize a treasure from Xiao Cheng, and also to kill him by any means necessary, including offering myself,” Yun Suiyi stated. “Yun Zhao was brought by me; my mother doesn’t know about that.”
“I should thank you for sending Yun Zhao away,” Yun Suiyi smiled through his tears. “Maybe I’ll have a chance to perish with Xiao Cheng in bed, ending everything once and for all.”
“What treasure does your mother want from Xiao Cheng?”
“It’s none of your business,” Yun Suiyi looked at Lian Mu. “I’ve told you my purpose for coming to the Azure Cloud Sect. I must kill him this time. As for you, I don’t ask you to stand with me, I only hope you won’t interfere in my affairs with him.”
“Yun Suiyi, you are still so young. How can you throw away your life for a beast? There are still so many beautiful sights in the world you haven’t seen, and so much delicious food you haven’t tasted. Are you willing to give it all up?”
Looking at Lian Mu, who was desperately trying to persuade him, a ripple stirred in Yun Suiyi’s heart. He… he is being so good to me. Could it be… could it be that he thinks I am a little bit good, like Yun Zhao?
Could it be… that he likes me just a little bit?
“Yun Suiyi, I will help you with your matter,” Lian Mu’s voice was gentle. “You should first reunite with Yun Zhao. He’s alone outside. I will get whatever item you want from Xiao Cheng for you, alright?”
Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao, it’s Yun Zhao again. Why is Yun Zhao in everyone’s heart?
Yun Suiyi’s expression suddenly changed. “I don’t need your help. If you care about Yun Zhao, go find him. I don’t need you to stick up for me.”
“Yun…” Lian Mu’s eyes flickered, and he immediately pulled the person toward the bed.
“Let go of me, Lian Mu.”
“You also want to be like that beast…”
Before Yun Suiyi could finish his sentence, his mouth was sealed by Lian Mu.
Feeling the contact on his lips, Yun Suiyi was uncharacteristically stunned.
Initially, it was out of fear that Yun Suiyi would say something reckless that the approaching Xiao Cheng might hear, causing trouble. But unexpectedly, the moment he kissed Yun Suiyi, that warm sensation, like a faint but precise electric current, instantly pierced through the dam of “self-restraint and propriety” that he had built over twenty years. All control exploded in that instant.
“You… let go of me,” Yun Suiyi, hearing the footsteps outside, struggled hard, trying to push Lian Mu off him.
Lian Mu abruptly reached out and cupped the back of Yun Suiyi’s neck.
Yun Suiyi’s astonishment didn’t have time to fully register on his face before he was pressed down by an irresistible force. The next second, Lian Mu’s lips fiercely covered his, precisely blocking all his unfinished words and actions.
This was not a kiss, but a plunder.
It began with a hint of annoyance at being excluded and a punishing gnawing, but it gradually changed flavor. Lian Mu’s fingers dug deep into Yun Suiyi’s soft hair, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Yun Suiyi’s mind went blank in an instant.
The usually dignified, composed, and ethereal Young Sect Master was now like an out-of-control beast, rampaging between his lips and teeth.
Lian Mu’s breath was scorching, accompanied by ragged gasps, completely different from his usual clear, cool aura. His kissing technique was clumsy yet extremely aggressive. His tongue forcefully pried open the pearly teeth, asserting an undeniable dominance as it tangled with Yun Suiyi’s.
Yun Suiyi was kissed until he was dizzy, his limbs weak. He could only instinctively push against Lian Mu’s firm chest, but his fingertips slightly curled as they touched the other person.
Who knows how long passed—perhaps just a moment, perhaps a century—Lian Mu finally pulled back slightly. Their lips parted, drawing a thin, ambiguous, and glistening silver thread.
Lian Mu didn’t fully release him. His forehead rested heavily against Yun Suiyi’s forehead, his breathing still heavy and ragged. He looked down at Yun Suiyi’s lips, swollen, wet, and glistening from the kiss, and those peach blossom eyes misted over from lack of oxygen. Lian Mu’s Adam’s apple bobbed violently.
Yun Suiyi stared blankly at the face so close to him, which was filled with raw emotions never seen on it before. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask, “Are you crazy?” but only managed a broken, trembling whimper.
Outside, Xiao Cheng, who happened to hear Yun Suiyi’s sound, paused his knocking motion, then chose to gently push the door open and walk in.
On the bed, Lian Mu’s thumb gently wiped the corner of Yun Suiyi’s lips that he had ravaged, his movement carrying a hint of careful tenderness. He didn’t speak, but leaned down again.
“You… why are you still kissing me?” Yun Suiyi’s voice held an unprecedented softness.
Falling into Lian Mu’s ears, it was like a heavy hammer blow.
“Is Yiyi not angry anymore?” Lian Mu reached out to caress Yun Suiyi’s cheek. “If you’re still angry, I don’t mind doing it again, hmm?”
Lian Mu’s fingers stroked Yun Suiyi’s rosy, full lips.
“You…” Just as Yun Suiyi spoke, Lian Mu got off Yun Suiyi and turned to look at the newcomer.
So, he didn’t like me and want to be intimate with me; he just… he just wanted to help me. Yun Suiyi instantly understood what it meant to fall from heaven to hell in a single thought.
If… if it were Yun Zhao lying here, would he still get up so quickly, so mercilessly?
“I didn’t realize Immortal Master was so interested in the bedroom affairs between me and Yiyi.” Lian Mu smiled with his mouth, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, only cold aloofness. “To barge into my room without greeting.”
“My apologies. I came to inform the Young Sect Master that the person who set fire to my pavilion has been found. I didn’t mean to intrude on this matter. I hope the Young Sect Master will forgive me.”
“Since the message has been delivered, is the Immortal Master not leaving?”
“I shall leave now.” Xiao Cheng turned and exited the room.
After confirming that the person had gone far away, Lian Mu looked apologetically at Yun Suiyi, who was sitting up on the bed. “I apologize. I was desperate just now. He was approaching the room, and I was afraid he might hear something you said, so I…”
“It’s fine,” Yun Suiyi shook his head. “Just consider it early practice.”
“What did you say?” A fierce look flashed in Lian Mu’s eyes. “You still haven’t given up on going to his side?”
“Why should I give up?” Yun Suiyi stood up. “What he wants, I happen to have. There’s nothing simpler than that.”
“Yun Suiyi, you are simply…” Lian Mu was momentarily speechless.
“Shameless, devoid of conscience,” Yun Suiyi said lightly himself. “You don’t need to say it, Young Sect Master. I know what kind of person I am.”
Looking at the person before him, whose tone was flat and expressionless, Lian Mu felt only heartache.
“Once the Young Sect Master leaves tomorrow, I will begin my plan. I believe that without the Young Sect Master’s obstruction, my plan will proceed smoothly.” Yun Suiyi looked at Lian Mu with an unwavering gaze. “If… the Young Sect Master wants to watch from the side how his son seduces…”
“Yun Suiyi, shut up!” Lian Mu lost his temper.
Yun Suiyi didn’t continue, a smile playing on his face. “It’s late. I won’t keep the Young Sect Master. I believe that given your status, the Azure Cloud Sect will be happy to arrange another room for you.”
“I’m sleeping in the same room as you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Yun Suiyi’s eyes widened. “Why would I sleep in the same room as you?”
“You are my person. If you don’t sleep with me, who do you intend to sleep with?” Lian Mu retorted.
“Are you addicted to acting? Who is your person?” Yun Suiyi sneered coldly.
“Who knows which corner that beast Xiao Cheng is watching from outside,” Lian Mu waved his hand, extinguishing the candlelight in the room. “This bed is big enough for the two of us.”
“Or,” Lian Mu looked at Yun Suiyi, “is Young Master Yun afraid to sleep with me, worried about being taken advantage of?”
“A joke! How could that be? If you want to sleep, then sleep.” Yun Suiyi finished speaking, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed.
Lian Mu lay down beside him.
