Chapter 25 Is it only for friends? His
Was he sleeping that soundly? When did Xiao Bumian get into bed?
Mingjian was dumbfounded.
No, wait a minute, didn't Xiao Bumian not come back last night? After throwing Gu Zhi back into the room, he looked next door but didn't see any candlelight.
And it seems they parted on bad terms last night.
Mingjian was furious.
He strongly suspected that Xiao Bumian was taking advantage of him. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened; Xiao Bumian had previously tried to get close to him and even communicate with him on a spiritual level.
I don't know what's gotten into him now. He has a room and a bed, so why does he insist on sleeping in his bed?
"Xie Hanwei." Mingjian called out to him, and then tried to pry Xiao Bumian's hand off his waist.
Xiao Bumian seemed not to hear. He tilted his head slightly and buried his face deeper into the ground. His cool lips unexpectedly touched Mingjian's Adam's apple, and the indescribable strange sensation instantly made Mingjian's scalp tingle.
Mingjian was on the verge of exploding with rage.
He turned his head and bit Xiao Bumian's face.
Xiao Bumian woke up groggily, his eyes still heavy with sleep. He reached out to stroke Mingjian's hair, ruffled his hair, and then lay back down to continue sleeping. He didn't forget to pull Mingjian into his arms.
Mingjian: ? ? ?
What was Xiao Bumian doing in the middle of the night? He's still not awake even now. And who told him to rub his head?
He's not a cat! Why are you grabbing his head?!
Mingjian remained silent for a while, then turned around and took another bite.
Xiao Bumian finally lazily opened his eyes and asked, "Do you want to play with me?"
Hmm, Mingjian is so clingy.
However, since Mingjian has agreed to be his cat, he, as the master, should grant his request.
Xiao Bumian nuzzled Mingjian's neck, sat up, and leaned down to press his lips against Mingjian's in astonishment.
Mingjian was still wondering what Xiao Bumian meant by "playing" when, in the next instant, his slightly cool lips pressed against hers.
Mingjian's body stiffened, and his mind went completely blank.
Damn it! Why did they kiss again?
Xiao Bumian looked into his eyes, then looked away, creating a small distance between them, and asked, "Aren't you going in this time?"
Mingjian was completely stunned. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and a beautiful blush spread across his neck and the tips of his ears. "W-what do you mean, 'go in'?"
Xiao Bumian pressed him down, hugged him again, and said lazily, "Tongue."
Even when she blushes, she's still cute.
his.
Mingjian couldn't help but cough out. What kind of indecent words were those?
Has Xiao Bumian gone mad? What triggered this latest shock?
Fortunately, Xiao Bumian didn't hold him too tightly this time. Mingjian easily pushed him away, his face flushed. He couldn't stand Xiao Bumian anymore and questioned, "Why did you kiss me?"
Xiao Bumian seemed puzzled and tilted his head to ask, "Didn't you want to play with me?"
He smiled and pointed to his face, "You bit me."
Mingjian really wanted to bite him to death right now.
“…” Mingjian tried to make him more aware, “You came to my bed first, it’s not like you don’t have a room, and besides, I called you, but you just didn’t wake up.”
Xiao Bumian lowered his long eyelashes slightly, thought for a moment, and asked, "So you didn't want to play with me?"
Mingjian finds this very strange.
He was the one who approached him first, so he must like him. Cats are like that when they depend on their owners; they want their owners to pet them and hold them while they sleep.
Why is he angry?
He stared at Mingjian's face, which was flushed red on both sides, including his ears. Xiao Bumian remembered that when he was still in the mortal realm, storytellers said it was shyness.
So, Mingjian was actually happy inside, but was just shy and said the opposite?
Cats are so hard to understand.
Xiao Bumian sighed softly.
Mingjian now understood what Xiao Bumian meant by "playing," and said firmly, "I just want you to wake up so I can get out of bed."
Xiao Bumian said with a hint of regret, her tone gentle, "Alright."
It's obvious you want to kill someone, Xiao Bumian, what are you regretting?!
"When can we play again?" Xiao Bumian asked.
He tried it last night and found it very comfortable. If he could, he would like to do it every day.
But Mingjian doesn't think that way.
Mingjian: "..."
That's not what he really thought; he didn't want to play at all!
“Ahem,” Mingjian said without batting an eye, “this isn’t something you can just do casually; it’s only for people who like each other.”
Xiao Bumian chuckled softly, "Don't we like each other?"
Mingjian was speechless for a moment.
Can he say he doesn't like it?
Will he be killed by Xiao Bumian in the next second?
After pondering for a while, Mingjian said with a forced smile, "The liking I'm talking about is the kind of liking between Daoist couples. Our liking is like that between friends, so it's different."
"Is it only couples who practice Daoist arts who can stick out their tongues?"
Ming was overjoyed, thinking that Xiao Bumian had finally come to his senses, and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, only Daoist partners can."
Xiao Bumian propped his head up with his hand, staring intently at Mingjian, "Why did Junior Brother stick out his tongue last night?"
Mingjian: "..."
Is it true or false?
He was so infatuated that he kissed her, and afterwards his mind went blank. He had forgotten everything except that Xiao Bumian had a very pleasant, faint, cool fragrance.
Xiao Bumian's pupils reflected Mingjian's face, and he asked with some confusion, "Or does Junior Brother want to become my Daoist partner?"
It's not impossible.
Although he originally didn't want a Daoist partner, Mingjian was his cat, and he had to make sure that all of Mingjian's attention was on him, otherwise he would always run away.
If Mingjian wants it, just give it to him.
Mingjian was stunned and quickly waved his hand, saying, "That's not what I meant."
Xiao Bumian blinked and smiled, "But didn't Junior Brother say that only Daoist partners can kiss? Junior Brother clearly kissed me, but you said we're just friends. Or does that mean friends can kiss?"
Mingjian: "…………"
He fell silent, unable to speak. He felt that Xiao Bumian was being sophistical, but he couldn't argue with him.
After a long pause, Mingjian said weakly, "Friends are fine too."
He quickly added, "But friends can only touch, not stick their tongues out! You came in by yourself last night, I didn't, I just touched you."
First, stabilize Xiao Bumian, otherwise, if this continues, he will not only lose his lips, but he might also lose his body!
Xiao Bumian said cheerfully, her eyes crinkling, "Alright."
-
A subtle atmosphere permeated the dinner table.
Ming Jian listlessly poked at the rice in his bowl, his eyelids drooping, looking rather listless. In contrast, Xiao Bumian, sitting next to him, was in a very good mood. Although he still wore his signature faint smile, today his smile was noticeably more genuine, and he even took the initiative to eat the vegetables that he usually didn't like.
Sitting opposite, Gu Zhi looked at the two of them suspiciously, feeling that something was off.
"Song Heyu, did you hear anything last night?" Gu Zhi asked, rubbing the back of her neck.
He didn't know what was wrong, but when he woke up this morning, his whole body ached terribly. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized he hadn't done anything wrong yesterday, so he could only blame it on a stiff neck.
Song Heyu shook her head and asked him, "No, I slept soundly last night and didn't hear any strange noises. Did you hear anything?"
Gu Zhi stretched and loosened his limbs. "Hmm."
He looked serious. "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but last night before I fell asleep, I thought I heard a woman crying, but it also sounded like she was laughing."
As they finished speaking, they all simultaneously recalled the storyteller's impassioned words when they passed by the Drunken Immortal Pavilion at dusk—
If you hear the bride laughing in the dead of night, close the door and do not light any lamps.
