Lotus Flower 44. I Won't
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

The two men set out after only three days of resting. They had borrowed a cart to use with their two horses. The journey was to be long, so both of them prepared many things for the road."Ah Shao, is this all of it." Lui Xian asked pointing at the set of clothes he had prepared. Feng Shao had told him that the place they were going to was very cold. So Lui Xian had started packing all clothes that were suitable for that weather.They had already left the village several days ago, even if the clothes were not enough, they couldn't go back.When the cart badly shook, Feng Shao steadied himself and grabbed onto its sides trying not fall. Lui Xian immediately reached for him and held him close into his arms not wanting for anything to happen to him. Feng Shao was at first shocked however he relaxed and let him hug him closer to his chest. He also liked to be this close to him. Feng Shao could feel his warmth and his heart thumped loudly settling Lui Xian's hand that was close to it. Lui

Feng Shao felt as if he had been poured cold water on a freezing night.'Friend.'He thought, his emotions going haywire. He could feel disappointment, pain, hopelessness, helplessness, he just couldn't sit well with just being friends.When he had finished telling him that, Lui Xian noticed Feng Shao wasn't happy at all. He had scooted a meter away from him. His face was filled with hurt. Lui Xian felt guilty. He wanted to retract his words and cheer him up. But he couldn't do it.Feng Shao shrank a little on the side, feeling very sour. He doodled on the cart like a kid. 'Friend, friend...' He repeated this word in his mind a million times. 'Hmm, it doesn't mean I can't keep on trying right. Being friends is a good start too. I will make him change his mind on this trip.' Feng Shao convinced himself, once again seeing some light in the world. He raised his head and smiled at Lui Xian who was surprised by how fast his mood had changed.Feng Shao approached him and leaned on him too cl

Feng Shao couldn't describe the way he was feeling right now.He just felt extremely ecstatic.All this was because of what had happened the previous night.After warming themselves on the fire, the two prepared to go sleep. They arranged their sleeping area and took a few blankets from the cart. Feng Shao was the one who spread the blankets on their futons beside each other. He was one to sleep first as he waited for Lui Xian to join him.Lui Xian followed him in just a few minutes trying very hard not to disturb his sleeping form.He lied on his left side facing Feng Shao who was deeply sleeping. His face was scrunched up as if he was dreaming of something so frightening. Lui Xian could not hold himself and reached to cup him. He smoothed out some frowning lines that were appearing on his face."Ah Shao, look at you. What are you dreaming of now? Am I part of it?" He whispered lowly so not to wake him up. He caressed his eyebrows feeling his heart getting excited. He tried really har

"The food is ready. Come eat."Feng Shao called Lui Xian who was busy writing something on paper.He grabbed the pot still on fire with his bare hands, resulting in him having a scalding wound.When he cried out letting the burning hot pot go, Lui Xian was already on his side, putting the burnt hand in cold water and blowing at it. "What were you thinking? Now, look what happened." Although he acted like he was scolding him he was just pained to see him hurt. He searched for some balm in their things and gently applied it before wrapping the wound with a bandage.When he was done. He made Feng Shao sit a little away from the fire and then took the pot with a used paper and shared the food between them. Feng Shao had burned the hand he used to eat with so it was up to Lui Xian to feed him.Lui Xian went and sat close to him. He took a spoon and deeped it into the beef stew. He blew at the portion on the spoon and put it on Feng Shao's mouth for him to take. Feng Shao felt like his life

Feng Shao's hand had healed and also his cold was gone.They now had time to continue their search.Lui Xian made absolute arrangements so that he would not be sick again."Which mountain do you think we should check today. If you choose we might be lucky" Feng Shao asked looking at Lui Xian in the eyes. Lui Xian just pointed at a random mountain knowing very well that the results may be the same."Okay then. Let's go." This time they rode their horses and left them at the foot of the mountains before climbing up. Although it wasn't easy, it made them a lot closer. Lui Xian helped him through it all."This one feels pretty much cold. The herb must be close." "Yeah, hopefully, we must find it soon." The two conversed whilst looking around for it. The top was clear and blanketed with thick snow. No plant was in sight. The two even searched at the edges thinking that they might be lucky. Unfortunately, the results were discouraging.They got down sliding on a board they had brought. It

"We are lucky we ended up finding it at the very last mountain. I can't believe that it is only a shoot." Lui Xian commented organizing Feng Shao's workplace just at one corner of the cave. A shoot and several types of herbs were splattered on the ground. And Feng Shao had a small mortar and pestle pounding at some herbs to make it into powder. At the side, there was some water in a small container."I am happy we got to find it. Now I can make the antidote without missing any ingredient. How I wish I had found it sooner." Feng Shao spoke, mixing the now wet powder with little bits of the green shoot which had been boiled in a pot."Great. Also, we will be on the road early in the morning. I think I should gather our horses and keep them close. This place is very cold, I don't like seeing you sick again." Lui Xian showed concern earning a big smile from his companion.He reached for some wood and added it into the fire, thereafter, putting a pot with dried meat so to make lunch. It d

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
