Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Trapped

"Shou Gongsha?"

Give him a man some gongsha! Is this really something a normal person can do? Ruan Mingyu almost scolded his whole family.

But since he was on someone else's territory, he could only vent his anger but not speak out. He imitated Song Chenxi's sarcastic words and said, "Thank you so much, Young Sect Master. It's bright red, so festive."

Gong Lingdeng smiled charmingly: "Okay Ruan Ruan, from now on, if you practice dual cultivation with me, the uterine blood will fall off."

Ruan Mingyu: “…”

To be honest, they are all crazy. He would rather go back and spend some time with Song Chenxi.

Ruan Mingyu rubbed it with his hands, but the red spot didn't change at all. He quickly washed it with water, but it still didn't come off.

After a while of fussing around, he was completely at his wit's end. He wasn't one for fussing around, so he finally tucked his arm into his sleeve and decided to forget it. If anyone saw it later, they could just say it was just a red mole, just a bit too big.

---------------------------

From then on, Ruan Mingyu lived in the Hehuan Sect.

He had been out for so long, and no one had come to see him. Although he was well-fed and well-drinking here, Ruan Mingyu still couldn't help wanting to go home.

He tried to escape many times, but failed every time.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to continue staying in the Hehuan Sect. However, he had nothing to do all day long, and it would be boring to be too idle. Ruan Mingyu found a way to find a furnace and started to make pills.

Although the people here speak nicely and there are many beautiful sisters, Ruan Mingyu still misses his spiritual field very much. He has not gone back and does not know how Yueya is taking care of his precious spiritual field.

Ruan Mingyu thought sadly that maybe all his efforts would be wasted and the seedlings would die, and he would have to go back and buy new seedlings.

Ruan Mingyu had been here for less than two months, but he had already gotten to know everyone in the Hehuan Sect. Regardless of age, beauty or appearance, he called everyone "beautiful sister" and "handsome brother." He greeted everyone he met, making sure everyone knew him.

Even Gong Lingdeng said, "You are quite good at attracting attention."

Ruan Mingyu wanted nothing more than to be free, and asked him, "Old Gong, when will you let me go?"

Gong Lingdeng: "I have already given you the choice to become a disciple of the Hehuan Sect."

Ruan Mingyu: "I've already joined the Seven Star Sect, isn't that asking too much?"

Gong Lingdeng said, "I'm not forcing you to do anything. Once you've been with me for a while, you'll naturally realize how good I am and forget about your senior brother."

Ruan Mingyu shut up immediately.

His conversation with Gong Lingdeng was completely irrelevant and made no sense at all.

Putting all that aside, Ruan Mingyu smiled flatteringly and asked, "Old Gong, when will you give me this month's pay?"

Gong Lingdeng tapped his forehead and said, "Only now do you remember my kindness, but I haven't been in a good mood recently. Someone keeps thinking about going back, which hurts my heart."

Ruan Mingyu resisted the urge to hit him and squeezed his shoulders: "Old Gong, we all agreed on this."

Gong Lingdeng turned around and kissed his cheek: "Don't worry, Ruan Ruan, you will be there for me."

Ruan Mingyu hurriedly dodged, and a look of loneliness flashed in Gong Lingdeng's eyes.

In the Hehuan Sect, the person Ruan Mingyu gets along best with is a sister named Cuiyu. She speaks nicely and is a sincere person.

Cui Yu advised him: "Our Sect Master is so kind to you, you might as well just give in. You are so short of money, if you stay with our Sect Master, you will naturally be indispensable."

Ruan Mingyu's face wrinkled into a ball: "Although I love money, there are some things I can do and some things I can't do."

Cui Yu: "Why can't we do it? The Sect Master has been without a mother since childhood, and the old Sect Master also passed away early. You have lost both your parents-in-law."

Ruan Mingyu's face was dull: "Father-in-law? Mother-in-law? Spare me!"

Cui Yu: "Hey, we are not real immortals. After all, we are just mortals. What's wrong with you giving the Sect Master a home?"

"Home?" Ruan Mingyu looked into the distance. He himself had no home, so giving a home to others was really too much of a compliment to him.

-------------------------------------

Ruan Mingyu was laughing and joking with Gong Lingdeng on the surface, but secretly he was still trying to find ways to escape. Tonight, when the moon was dark and the wind was strong, he wanted to escape from prison again.

He quickly ran to the wall. He had inquired about it over the past few days and knew that he could get out by just climbing out and passing the guard at the door.

He clung to the wall and climbed up as nimbly as if he were possessed by a monkey.

He bent over cautiously and looked across from the top of the wall. There were a few sparsely packed people at the door, so there was still a chance of winning.

Ruan Mingyu thought, at worst he could just fight them. Anyway, he was going to leave here!

Just as he was about to jump down, he suddenly heard a gentle laugh: "Ruan Ruan, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? Do you like climbing the wall?"

Ruan Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, he was discovered again!

He turned his head, his hard-earned escape plan failing. He said with a forced smile: "The moon is beautiful tonight, haha."

Oh my God, when can he leave? He doesn’t want to stay here anymore!

Gong Lingdeng climbed up and sat beside him.

He looked at the sky and said, "The moon isn't out tonight. The sky is all gray. Where does the moon come from?"

"I think it's not in the sky, but in your heart." Gong Lingdeng pointed at Ruan Mingyu's chest. "If I had met you before him, would you have me here?"

Ruan Mingyu thought to himself that what he was talking about was nonsense. Even if they had met eighteen years earlier, he would not have been there. He was not a gay at all!

He said, "This kind of thing cannot be forced. If it's not appropriate, then it's not appropriate."

Gong Lingdeng looked at him with a smile: "What if I insist on forcing it?"

Ruan Mingyu: "Hey, this..."

Gong Lingdeng: "You don't have to answer me now. We still have a lot of time, ten or a hundred years. I can afford it."

Ruan Mingyu was paralyzed. What did he fear most in his life? Besides death, it was losing his freedom. He didn't like being forced into making decisions. This feeling of powerlessness, of not being able to control his own life, was enough to bring him to his knees.

He could also pretend to agree with him, which was a very wise choice, but for some reason Ruan Mingyu chose to remain silent. He didn't want to answer a single word.

The two of them sat quietly on the wall, each with their own thoughts, unrelated to love.

Finally, Ruan Mingyu couldn't bear to sit there any longer, so he said, "I'm going back to sleep," and was about to jump off the wall. However, Gong Lingdeng grabbed him and carried him down from the wall.

As soon as Ruan Mingyu's feet touched the ground, he quickly jumped off him, ran back into the room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed.

Gong Lingdeng looked at his departing back with a meaningful look in his eyes.

After returning to the room, Ruan Mingyu put his hands behind his head, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He didn't want much, just to do what he wanted. Why couldn't even such a simple wish come true?

His mind was in a mess. Sometimes he thought of the carefree days in his previous life, and sometimes Song Chenxi's face flashed through his mind. So much time had passed, so Song Chenxi should have been released from the Cliff of Repentance, right?

If he finds out that he is missing, will he come looking for him?

Ruan Mingyu quickly shook his head.

Was he driven crazy by being locked up? He actually prayed for Song Chenxi to come and save him.

Seeing that the Immortal Sect Competition is approaching, Song Chenxi should have no time to spare for anything else.

He said to himself: Ruan Mingyu, Ruan Mingyu, why do you have such thoughts?

Even if Song Chenxi is willing to come and rescue him, with so many people in the Hehuan Sect, can he defeat them alone?

He thought about it in a mess for a long time and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

But his sleep did not last long, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside the house. He rubbed his eyes and woke up, only to see that it was bright outside. The house was full of lights in the middle of the night, making it as bright as day.

What happened?

Ruan Mingyu thought heartlessly that no matter what happened, it was none of his business. He turned over and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

However, not long after, an extremely quiet voice broke into his room.

Ruan Mingyu opened his eyes immediately, "Who!"

Just as he was about to light a candle, someone put a sword to his throat.

The person behind him was breathing rapidly and heavily, as if injured. He must be the one who broke into the Hehuan Sect tonight.

As the saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Ruan Mingyu begged for mercy: "Brother, I have no grudge against you. Please be magnanimous and let me go. I will never reveal your whereabouts to them."

Then, Ruan Mingyu heard a light hum, which sounded like a smile but not a smile, making it difficult to understand what he was thinking.

"Wouldn't it be better to kill you and put an end to it all?" The voice was light, but there was always a hint of sarcasm.

Hearing this familiar tone, Ruan Mingyu was a little bit incredulous: "Song Chenxi?"

Song Chenxi was still as sarcastic as ever: "Mingyu has grown so independent that he ran off with someone. Now he doesn't even want to call me brother?"

He seemed... a little angry?

Ruan Mingyu: "I'm not..."

"Nothing?" Song Chenxi sneered coldly, "If you switch to another sect, I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of my master."

Ruan Mingyu's heart sank as the sword from his neck remained. Could it be that he was going to clean up the mess? Although he and Song had been on good terms over the years, at the beginning, he had truly wanted to kill him. Thinking back to the time Song Chenxi had choked him last time, he was capable of anything when he got mad.

Ruan Mingyu felt a chill in his heart. He pinched himself in a moment of urgency, and after a moment of thought, he burst into tears: "Brother, I was really abducted and brought here. I have never thought of betraying my master. Please listen to my explanation!"

It's embarrassing, so let's just coax him into doing it first.

There was no movement behind him. After a while, Ruan Mingyu heard his low laughter coming from above his head.

"You useless little sparrow, crying again."

He loosened the sword in his hand and wiped away Ruan Mingyu's tears with his fingertips.

He said with pity, "Are you afraid that I will kill you? That's why you are shaking so hard?"

Ruan Mingyu stared blankly, forgetting what he wanted to say. His eyes were red from crying, like a frightened rabbit.

Song Chenxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't cry anymore, otherwise I can't guarantee what will happen next."

Ruan Mingyu was originally pretending to cry, but when she heard him say that, she wiped away her tears and returned to normal.

When Ruan Mingyu saw him, he felt inexplicably relieved, as if someone had shared the burden with him.

He pointed at Song Chenxi's shoulder and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

Song Chenxi didn't even blink, even though the blood from the wound had soaked through his clothes, he still said calmly, "It's just a minor injury."

Seeing that the blood was still flowing from his body, Ruan Mingyu curled his lips. This guy just likes to pretend, even though he is obviously injured so badly.

Without saying anything more, he hurriedly treated the wound and bandaged it. The wound was so deep, but he didn't react at all, just frowned slightly.

Ruan Mingyu took out some of the pills he had made and fed them to him.

After working in this industry for a long time, Ruan Mingyu developed a professional habit: "Be good, take the medicine and the pain will go away."

Song Chenxi glanced at him with a strange look in his eyes.

"How did you find me?" Ruan Mingyu coughed and expressed the question in his mind as if nothing had happened.

Song Chenxi was reluctant to speak: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Ruan Mingyu: "I'm just asking. Hide quickly. They'll probably come and search soon since you broke in."

Song Chenxi's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "What are you afraid of? Just kill them all."

Ruan Mingyu calmed down and said, "The enemy is numerous and we are few. Let me think of a solution."

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Ruan Ruan, are you awake?"

——————

Without waiting for Ruan Mingyu's response, Gong Lingdeng pushed open the door and walked in.

Ruan Mingyu turned sideways with his eyes closed, trying to make his breathing slow.

In the darkness, Gong Lingdeng stood in front of the bed and did not leave, just staring at Ruan Mingyu.

He sat down in front of the bed. Ruan Mingyu's heart tightened and he quickly slowed his breathing. However, the person in the bed seemed deeply dissatisfied. Ruan Mingyu quickly held Song Chenxi's hand, and his fingertips kept stroking the back of his hand to comfort him.

Yes, he hid Song Chenxi under the quilt, and he would be exposed if he turned on the light.

They were extremely close, almost touching each other. Ruan Mingyu's chin was against Song Chenxi's head, and his hair was pricking him, but Ruan Mingyu didn't dare to move for fear of being discovered.

Gong Lingdeng sat on the edge of the bed and let out a faint sigh.

"Ruan Ruan..." His moan was melodious and seemed to contain endless emotions.

The veins on the arms of the person hiding under the quilt were exposed. Ruan Mingyu felt that if he hadn't been holding Song Chenxi's hand tightly, he would probably have lifted the quilt and started a fight with Gong Lingdeng.

Feeling Song Chenxi's temper, Ruan Mingyu patted his arm gently.

Song Chenxi calmed down a little, just a little. He put his hands on Ruan Mingyu's waist and gently bit the side of his neck.

Ruan Mingyu almost screamed and quickly covered his mouth.

He communicated with Song Chenxi using his spiritual consciousness.

“Don’t bite…”

Instead, the other party became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.

"Your new mistress?"

"no......"

Ruan Mingyu was forced to cry, but she was worried about Gong Lingdeng next to her, afraid that he would find out something was wrong, so she could only bite her lip and endure it silently.

"Then why did you stop me from killing him?" Song Chenxi pressed on, demanding an explanation from him.

"Brother, please forgive me."

“…”

After a century, Gong Lingdeng finally passed away.

As soon as he left, Song Chenxi crawled out from under the quilt and pressed Ruan Mingyu on the bed.

"Ruan Ruan - you are shouting with such sincerity." When he said this, he was staring at Ruan Mingyu with a smile on his lips. He seemed to be in a good mood, but if you look closely at his eyes, you can see that they are covered with strong jealousy and there are some signs of redness.

Tears blurred Ruan Mingyu's vision. He cried more today than in the previous twenty years combined.

Even rabbits get angry when they are anxious. He cried and cursed, "What are you doing? I told you I was kidnapped by him!"

Song Chenxi was stunned, regained some of his composure, lowered his head and touched his eyes with his hands. The touch of his eyelashes fluttering in his palms felt slightly itchy.

His tears soaked his palms. Song Chenxi buried his head in his ear and whispered softly, "Don't cry... It's my fault."

Ruan Mingyu opened his eyes, looked at him, and pushed him: "Get up from me first."

Song Chenxi hugged him, but was unwilling to let go.

"Hold me for a while longer."

“…”

In the darkness, Song Chenxi stared at him and smiled slowly.

Ruan Mingyu had originally planned to deliver medicine to Song Chenxi every once in a while, but unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and he was kidnapped by Gong Lingdeng.

Song Chenxi had stopped taking medicine and his condition was not stable. Fortunately, Ruan Mingyu had not been idle during his stay in Hehuan Manor and had made some medicine. He quickly took out a pill, pried open his lips and put it into his mouth.

Song Chenxi pretended to spit out the medicine, but Ruan Mingyu begged, "Oh, please don't! I spent so much effort refining it."

Song Chenxi finally swallowed the medicine.

"Not mad at me anymore?"

Ruan Mingyu snorted: "How dare I?"

Song Chenxi: "A little sparrow rubbing its nose against your face."

He said, "When I was in the sect, I heard that there was a disciple who, in my presence, was swindling people inside the sect, offering ten spirit stones to call someone a good brother or sister. Tell me, how could there be such a bad person in the world?"

Ruan Mingyu was speechless. Well, he did do some immoral things to make money.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Song Chenxi's hand slowly moved down, as if to hold his neck again. In fact, Song Chenxi just wanted to straighten his tangled clothes.

Ruan Mingyu didn't want to experience the suffocating feeling of last time again. He made up his mind and looked at him immediately. Although his original intention was to show sincerity, he made it look a little affectionate. He said, "Brother, if they come to me, they won't harass you."

Song Chenxi's movements slowed down, and Ruan Mingyu, seeing that he was seeing some success, quickly added fuel to the fire and said, "I did all this for you."

Song Chenxi was stunned, then he suddenly lowered his head and kissed Ruan Mingyu's lips.

"You don't have to do that for me."

His kiss was light, like a feather falling on lips.

Ruan Mingyu's heart was in turmoil. Oops, it seemed like he had gone too far...

Song Chenxi's breathing was heavy. He held Ruan Mingyu's hand and put his face against it.

"Mingyu, I have never been so happy."

Ruan Mingyu stammered: "You will encounter many happy things in the future."

Song Chenxi: "That can't compare to this moment."

There was never a trace of emotion in his narrow eyes, but when he looked at Ruan Mingyu, his gaze softened and turned into a pool of spring water.

I'm completely trapped.

——————

Song Chenxi was seriously injured. It was not easy for him to break into the Hehuan Sect alone, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Mingyu now hopes that his injury will heal soon so that he can take him away from here.

Ruan Mingyu secretly hid him in the room, and he spent more time in the room every day. In the past, he wished he could wander outside all day long.

Song Chenxi's injury will take at least ten days to half a month to heal, and he must not be discovered by Gong Lingdeng during this period.

In order to help him recover as soon as possible, Ruan Mingyu often took some delicious food from the kitchen back to feed Song Chenxi. Song Chenxi accepted everything. In fact, when he was in the sect, he rarely ate food, but now that it was given to him by Ruan Mingyu, it was naturally different.

Ruan Mingyu was actually quite touched by Song Chenxi's willingness to come and save him. It would have been better if he hadn't gone crazy and said some half-truths.

Ruan Mingyu shared the stolen cakes with him, stuffing his mouth full while saying to him, "Brother, you have to take me back. I will do everything I can to cure you. From now on, you will be my real brother."

Song Chenxi stared at him and said suddenly, "You've changed."

Ruan Mingyu joked, "Are you becoming more and more handsome?"

Song Chenxi measured with his hand: "Your eyes are a little longer, and your face has less flesh. Aren't you getting enough to eat here?"

Ruan Mingyu almost choked. He had no objection to other bad things about the Hehuan Sect, but he was the first to object when someone said the food was not tasty.

"Is there a possibility that I have grown up..." Ruan Mingyu said.

Yes, it turns out that it has been so long since I came to this world?

Song Chenxi suddenly moved closer to him, and Ruan Mingyu's heart suddenly beat faster.

What does he want to do now?

Song Chenxi pinched his chin and looked around: "Yes, our little sparrow has grown into an adult."

At the same time, a clear sound of birdsong was heard outside the window. Ruan Mingyu turned around and opened the window as if escaping. A branch of peach blossom peeked in from outside. Although the stamens on the branch had not all bloomed, they were already buds. It turned out that spring had arrived without him noticing.
