Lotus Flower 38. Are You Okay?
How long were they going to let the cold war keep on rolling? No one knew, except the two companions who were lying side by side on a mat waiting to be called out for supper by the family where they were momentarily crushing on. The place was small and crammed so it was difficult for them not to be too close to each other. Feng Shao felt uneasy when his back made contact with Lui Xian's chest. He could feel Lui Xian's breath on his sensitive neck. The skin that was continuously being fanned on started to emit heat leaving a red tint that seemed to travel to his cheeks. All in the silence he could only pray for the other to shift to the other side. Since the day the two men stopped talking to each other, Feng Shao felt concise whenever he was around Lui Xian. He would sometimes find himself stealing a glance at the other man. His face would become red hot when he stared for too long or when Lui Xian caught him staring. It went on for so many days. It started to get worse the day he

"What do you wanna talk about?" Feng Shao asked with a teasing tone. His voice sounding angelical to his companion's ear. His sapphire eyes were deeply gazing at Lui Xian and also glistening with a shiny sparkle. Which was visible to Lui Xian who just looked at him stupidly. Feng Shao had a dazzling smile plastered on his lips. He observed how Lui Xian's eyes didn't waver when he noticed him staring for too long. His heartbeat plummeted just by looking at the man that was sitting by his side. "I want to know where you come from. What you like. What you were like in your childhood. Anything." Lui Xian clarified. His voice was low and sharp. When he finished relaying his answer, Lui Xian moved his gaze away from Feng Shao and looked at the clear sky. Then he decided to lie down. His arms folded a little bit trying to support his head from reaching the ground. His back lied directly on the grass and his legs crossed together, one foot touching the ground whilst the other was suspended in

"You grew up travelling. I wish I had lived like that. Maybe my family would still be alive." Feng Shao lamented falling in step with Lui Xian. They were not far from the gate and could see Mei Suyu, the young villager, pacing in front of the house. He seemed very worried. Feng Shao immediately abandoned his partner and ran towards the young boy. He ruffled his hair, before showing his concern. "What happened?" He asked the boy who had some tears already accumulating in his eyes. "Papa fell sick. Mother took him to the clinic. I don't know what is gonna happen to him." Mei Suyu wuffled trying to not let his tears be seen by these two men, he had started to admire. Feng Shao comforted him and then walked away from the two. He entered their room and took his medicine box before he went after the couple. Lui Xian remained behind. He watched over Mei Suyu who was facing down feeling useless. He could only watch as his father fainted. He did not know what to do except call his mother w

When Feng Shao and Lui Xian sobered up, they found that Mei Suyu was smiling at them with his eyes twinkling with little stars. His admiration seemed to have deepened to such a greater degree. It made them wonder what had made him like this. "Brother Lui, Brother Feng." He greeted with a bow. The two were surprised. When did they become his brother? They looked at each other, both their eyes filled with shock and confusion. Feng Shao was first to regain his senses. He turned back to him and smiled with a nod. It made the young man very happy. He was thrilled to be a little brother to such a remarkable couple. It could be his little secret. Unknown to the two men, Mei Suyu went away singing and asking the heavens to bless their non-existent relationship. "He seems to be in good mood. Should we inform them we are leaving today?" Feng Shao worried pointing at the retreating Xiaomei. Lui Xian nodded. "We have to. We can not just leave, it's impolite to do so." Feng Shao agreed but he

"Lui, tell me something...." "Shh shh." Lui Xian cut off Feng Shao. He held onto his sword, his eyes focused behind Feng Shao. He had detected an unusual sound and immediately became aware. He saw a shadow hiding behind a tree that was ten meters away from where they were. "Come out!" He demanded. Already drawing his sword out. "Okay, okay. I am coming out." A man wearing a dark green garb, with simple designs on its seams, came closer to light. He had a robe with a lighter colour than the garb. He held a fan which he used to cover his face. His hair was let loose. Some strands were suspended at the sides. "We meet again. I have been waiting for you." The man spoke whilst taking a seat and extending his left hand for warmth on the fire. The other maintained its hold on the fan. "Bandit Huo. What brings you here?" Lui Xian mocked, still holding his sword at ready. "Call me Huo Ling. Why hate me so much? We only met once and you want me gone. What have I ever done to you?" He lam

"What now? We wanted to find him but then he came to us. Do you still want to keep looking for him?" Feng Shao politely asked while he was busy setting up a place where he could sleep. It had gotten dark and the moon was no longer of much help. The fire which had been burning all this time had burnt out. "We will still proceed to the next village. Or do you want to stay in the jungle all the time?" Lui Xian conversed from across him. He was also preparing his part. They had long eaten the fish and exhausted all the topics they could think of. "No, I want to stay in a proper room this time." Feng Shao shook his head and begged the other to stick with his plan. Lui Xian couldn't help but laugh at his companion's antics. "Lui, if what Huo Ling said is right. Are you going back?" Feng Shao inquired in a low tone, his hands were clutched tightly, he feared to be alone again. Even though he had promised he wouldn't return until he got the bandit but now what. 'He might leave again.'

Strolling in the bustling streets, Feng Shao stuck close to Lui Xian feeling very glad. The people in the streets could actually see little stars glistening on him making his mood obvious to everyone who passed by him. Nevermind Lui Xian who was very close to him to the point that their breaths mingled together. At this time, they could freely spend their moments without worrying or searching for anyone. There was no need to think of Huo Ling or the past. They only needed to relax and take a tour trying to familialize with the place. "Lui, do you wanna try that pie?" Feng Shao asked him while pointing at a stall where an elderly woman was busy controlling the heat of her burner stove. She was dressed in poorly patched clothes that somehow got dirty with the flour she was using to make the pies. Before Lui Xian could comprehend anything that was happening, he got dragged to the stall and appeared in front of the stall owner who greeted them with a happy smile. Pleased yet for getti

A week. Two weeks. Three weeks have passed by. Life was so colourful and full of life. Both of the two men have become quite used to the lifestyle in the village. The noisy hours early morning, seeing the folks preparing to start their day and also witnessing regular fights from drunkards who find trouble at every turn they make. Then there is the delicious pies that Feng Shao can't stop craving on daily basis. Even though the village was filled with a mixture of both joyous and roudy activities, Lui Xian and his companion still found Yin Yi Village to be such a wonderful place and surprisingly quite adaptable. After a few days searching around and getting acquainted with people, Lui Xian finally got a job as an assistant in a weaponry shop. He earned enough to get them by. Feng Shao remained in their small rented room studying medicinal books. They had managed to get a room which they would pay rent f*e every month. It was cheaper than having to pay the inn after every three days

It has been a few months after their marriage, the couples were living quite a fruitful life. It was peaceful and the days were enjoyable. Feng Shao continued offering consultations to everyone in the valley, he also went into the forest and other places in search of various herbs. Sometimes he would stay at home and spend some quality time with his husband. The two would play around. Either just cuddling and flirting under a cherry tree or sparring with each other. Although everytime Lui Xian would go easy on him. Feng Shao on other occasions he would play a few pieces of his own songs on his zither. The others would listen with a smile. And the villagers would sometimes join them. Some would even beg him to learn. And Dong Dong would be amongst these people. Feeling proud of him. Rushan on the other hand, he would be occupied in his paintings. He loved investing most of his time playing with colours and smelling the ink on the parchment paper. He would sometimes add poems once he

Rushan beamed with happiness, altogether with excitement knowing that he had a chance to get him. He hurriedly got onto his feet and strode to the doors, eager to see him again. "Thank you brother." He waved at the emperor and disappeared before the monarch could say anything in return. He just watched his little brother with a small smile on his lips. He took a sip of his tea, savouring the exquisite taste. Once done, he looked into space as if he was in deep thought. The prince on the other hand was running around the palace path ways, heading to the training area where he assumed he would find him training. Some refreshing breeze graced his cheeks and made his hair dance along with the moving air. The scenery all around him appeared to be surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms fluttering and emitting a mesmerizing scent. It did not take time for him to reach the training grounds. Various soldiers were busy clushing with wooden swords against one another. Others were engaged in

The following day, the prince got up as early before the rooster crowed. He had black circles around his eyes. His orbs looked very depressed. He was so unkempt. His personal servants were so shocked and embarrased. They prayed secretly in their hearts, begging the heavens so that there hasn't been a single soul that had seen this or else their prince's image would forever be ruined. They got flustered and started running about like headless chickens before the head maid calmed them down and ordered the others to bring warm water from the kitchen and also to prepare for his highness's clothes. In the mean time, she greeted the prince and politely urged him to go behind the screen where there was a beautiful pond with beautiful flowers scattered skillfully on top. She helped undress him and left him with pants on before guiding him into the pond.All the while Rushan was feeling tired and very sleepy. He listened to whatever she was saying so to get her to go away. He didn't want to d

"Well then Qi Han, come and inform me when he returns.""Yes, Your Highness." Qi Han answered respectfully. He watched as Rushan turned and walked away, going back to his palace. The little minister then turned back giving the room where Lanzhu lived a last glance before going on his way. On the other side, Rushan rested in his office and waited patiently, while thinking of things he was going to say to him. He had done this many times but he never seemed to get tired of it. Just the thought of telling him how he felt filled his tummy with butterflies. After a moment, then he felt sad for some reason. His mind having wild guesses like: 'Maybe the letter wasn't meant for me.'"Does he like someone else?""No, no. If that is the case I will never be able to accept it."The Night approached very fast and Rushan takes a nap and dreams of him again. He couldn't help but smile in his dream. Just the thought of being kissed by those juicy lips sent him into the clouds. He wished to never

Shiny charcoal hair flowed gently past his eyes, flattering with the wafting breeze making the scene look breathtaking. The rays highlighted the beautifully styled hair. The shimmering emerald robe he was wearing enhanced his graceful figure. And also the gentle but cold temperament.Rushan just couldn't get enough while looking at it. His light blue eyes wandered a lot more on the gorgeous designs, then the coarse and shiny hair before they shifted on to the good-looking face. The thirsty prince took in the unfamiliar distinct features. It appeared as if he was drinking an exquisite juice just by looking at them. Especially the white fair skin and scarlet eyes he had never seen before. It was rare to find anyone with this eye colour in Wu Kingdom. Even when he went on his voyages, he had never come across such a trait. This made his interest pick up.He couldn't move his eyes away, so he chose to look to his heart's content. His rosy full lips didn't escape his scrutiny as well. Rus

There he found an outlet for his troublesome woes. Lui Xian listened and felt amused by his dear friend's antics. He felt like he was watching himself when he had just realized that he had fallen for the monarch.But it was very different for his friend. He had never met the person at all. All he could hold onto was the emotional bond he had achieved through heartfelt words on an ordinary parchment paper. Lui Xian however, never judged his dear companion, for he knew how hard it was to be in a fruitless love. One had to hold onto the hope that perhaps one day he will see my love. One had to dream of a life together, longing and yearning to acquire their coveted wish. He watched as Rushan told him how eager he was to find the person who wrote to him. He had searched and searched everywhere in the Kingdom until he almost lost hope. That is until he stumbled upon a piece of writing when he had visited his Imperial brother. On that fateful day, the prince was low spirited and was in no

After the adventurous wedding night, Feng Shao woke up feeling sore all over. His body was littered with vivid love bites and scratch marks. His eyes were shining brightly knowing that he was now Lui Xian's husband. He looked down beside him to see Lui Xian still asleep with a set of his own marks on his chest. The white-haired male stretched his hand and grabbed a handful of his spouse's jet-black hair strands, feeling the soothing texture. His warm eyes landed on his glowing face which was being softened by the morning glow. When he had looked enough, Feng Shao leaned on him and stole a very quick kiss on his lips before getting off the bed and rushing to take a bath behind the screen. Behind the two meter white board decorated with magnificent scenic paintings, which was shielding him from prying gazes, some purple garments were hung in one corner. And there was a wooden tub situated in between the board and the wall. It was filled with cold water with rose petals floating on top a

"Ruo?...Ruo.." 'Where have I heard this name before?' Feng Shao contemplated in his mind. When he was still living in his hometown his father used to have a visitor with the name Ruo. Everytime on his visit this man would always bring him a sweet and would also throw him up in the air and and play with him. Now that he thought about it, it should be someone related to Lui Xian. Feng Shao told his lover everything he knew. The other only listened and also continued with his story. The two talked till morning. Dong Dong was the one who came over to them and cut their story short.The three regrouped with the others and accompanied Rushan to Wu Capital. Of course Feng Shao and Lui Xian bade goodbye to their friends and remained in the capital. Rushan and the others proceeded to enter the palace. He met his nephew and spent a week together with him. They played together, had the royal artist paint a painting of them. After all was done he promised his nephew to visit him again and then l

When they returned to the restaurant, everyone in their group could see a change in Feng Shao's mood. He had gotten more relaxed and back to normal. A smile couldn't leave his face. He was more sticky to Lui Xian. Whilst the others were sitting on the table, he was on his lover's lap being fed a spoon full of chicken stew and a sip of light wine. Rushan and Lanzhu had an idea of what had taken place a few years back in this town. They had also followed their friend and had witnessed everything that just happened. Seeing them happy also made them feel good.The group left the restaurant and booked a few rooms to spend the night. Feng Shao and Lui Xian took Dong Dong and made their way to their room. Dong Dong watched his Daddy crying and felt speechless. It was his first time seeing him like this. Unlike Lui Xian who had gotten used to this, for this little guy it was quite a shock. He couldn't find a reason as to what made him cry. He seemed to remember him letting down his third cup
