Chapter 31 Springtime I feel so uncomfortable all over.
Mingjian opened his mouth as if to say something, but Xiao Bumian chuckled softly, as if this tiny gesture was a tacit approval.
He took a step closer, his cool, thin lips pressed against Mingjian's, his tongue tentatively tracing the shape of her lips before expertly slipping between her teeth, a faint, cool fragrance spreading between them.
Mingjian's breath hitched, and he unconsciously clutched Xiao Bumian's moon-white collar.
The candlelight flickered inside, casting their intertwined figures on the wall. Every now and then, the sounds of swallowing and rapid breathing mingled together, only to be swallowed up by deeper kisses. Their dark hair was tangled together, with a few strands even slipping into their loose clothes.
After a long while, Mingjian lay on the bed staring at the ceiling above him, feeling utterly hopeless.
He and Xiao Bumian kissed again.
Um.
Xiao Bumian was still gently blowing on his ear, which tickled him a little. He reached out and poked the teeth marks on Mingjian's face, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Mingjian: "..."
More than whether he felt comfortable or not, he now suspected that Xiao Bumian had been seducing him just now; otherwise, how could he have kissed Xiao Bumian again?!
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
He originally didn't want Xiao Bumian to kiss him, which is why he agreed to let Xiao Bumian bite him!
But now Xiao Bumian not only bit his face hard, but also bit his lip until it bled.
Mingjian said irritably, "I'm not feeling well."
Xiao Bumian pulled his arms around Mingjian, completely encircling him in his embrace.
He lowered his head and buried his face in Mingjian's neck, gently rubbing against it, his voice filled with a satisfied laziness: "But I feel so comfortable."
Mingjian froze, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.
All he wants now is to beat Xiao Bumian to death.
“Hmm,” Xiao Bumian paused, then smiled, “when your tongue went into my mouth, I didn’t even remember who I was, where I was, or what I was supposed to do.”
"I feel so uncomfortable all over, but also so comfortable, with a tingling and numb sensation."
"Hearing you panting softly made me so happy." Xiao Bumian seemed to be recalling something, her tone gentle. "You were so soft, so soft, like you had no bones. You trembled whenever I touched you. Your heart was beating so fast..."
Xiao Bumian was unable to say the rest of his words, as Mingjian covered his mouth with his hand.
Mingjian's ear tips flushed crimson at a visible speed as he stubbornly tried to convince himself, "How could that be?"
Mingjian's mentality had collapsed.
How could he possibly be the way Xiao Bumian described? He... he clearly remembers Xiao Bumian as being like this!
Yes, it's Xiao Bumian.
That slutty yandere keeps blaming him, and his stories are full of holes. He didn't have a racing heart, and he didn't go in!
Xiao Bumian blinked, tilted his head, and tried to avoid it.
Seeing that he hadn't given in, and fearing that Xiao Bumian might say something shocking again, he earnestly tried to persuade him, saying, "You should sleep a little longer; talking too much will make you tired."
Xiao Bumian paused, feeling that the little good-for-nothing was treating him like an idiot.
However, since it's his cat, as its owner, he has an obligation to play with it.
So Xiao Bumian obediently closed his eyes, his thick, long eyelashes slightly drooping.
Mingjian breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just let go of her hand when he saw Xiao Bumian open her eyes again. "But I'm not very sleepy."
Mingjian: "You're sleepy."
Xiao Bumian: "I'm not sleepy."
Mingjian: "You're sleepy."
Xiao Bumian: "Does kissing between friends make your heart beat faster?"
Mingjian: "..."
He remained silent for a while, then said, "I'm sleepy."
Before Xiao Bumian could react, Mingjian suddenly collapsed into his arms and fell asleep again.
He paused for a moment, then raised his hand and gently touched his forehead, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
She really fell asleep.
Mingjian's sleeping face was completely unguarded, with long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyes, making her look exceptionally well-behaved.
Xiao Bumian watched for a long time, then hugged Mingjian even tighter, feeling very curious.
How could the little good-for-nothing fall asleep so easily?
He was initially worried that the man might have been poisoned, but after discovering that he hadn't, he became even more curious.
Without a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation or magic, how did Mingjian manage to fall asleep so easily?
He held Mingjian quietly for a while, then finally got up, dressed, tied his hair, and went out.
Before leaving, his gaze was calm, his eyes filled with a smile, and he leaned down to whisper in Mingjian's ear, "Wait for me to come back."
A night breeze suddenly arose, carrying a few withered leaves across the eaves.
As dusk deepened in the Merfolk's royal city, the long street became increasingly bustling.
The lanterns along the street lit up one after another, illuminating the bluestone pavement with a bright red glow. The taverns and teahouses were bustling with activity, and waiters carrying trays weaved through the crowd, with the occasional clamor of drinking games echoing through the air.
Colorful lanterns float on the river, and in the swaying light and shadow, a singing girl on a painted boat is playing the pipa.
Xiao Bumian always wore a kind smile, yet no one touched the hem of his clothes.
After walking along the long street for a while, he finally stopped in front of a shop and knocked on the door very politely. "Excuse me, do you sell any raccoons here?"
There was only one mermaid in the shop. When the mermaid heard the voice, she followed the sound and found that the speaker was a handsome young man who looked like a beautiful woman.
"Sir, yes, we do have them. Would you like to buy one?"
Xiao Bumian wasn't in a hurry. As soon as he stepped across the threshold, several cats surrounded him, meowing and circling his legs.
The merman smiled and said, "These raccoon dogs seem to really like you, sir. If you're interested, you can take one home with you."
Xiao Bumian took out a mermaid pearl from his pocket and gave it to the mermaid. He then squatted down and hugged the white cat that was meowing the loudest, stroking it gently.
“I already have one.” Xiao Bumian smiled, his eyelashes fluttering slightly. “What I’m more curious about is why a cat would suddenly become unfriendly?”
Xiao Bumian found it very strange. He remembered that Mingjian would take the initiative to make love to him before, and even in his dreams, she wanted him to bite her neck.
But now they are very resistant.
He'll have to ask someone who specializes in raising cats.
The merman paused upon hearing this, but the merman pearl in his hand was of excellent quality. He was just afraid that the person in front of him was joking with him about such a simple question.
He hurriedly put the mermaid pearl into the sandalwood box in front of the cabinet, his fish tail swaying gently, before asking, "Has your tigress recently become averse to your affection?"
Perhaps because of the mermaid pearl, the mermaid quietly changed her way of addressing her. Xiao Bumian didn't take it to heart, nodding casually and saying, "Hmm, probably."
The merman sighed, "This is it. Does my lord know what season it is?"
"I don't know." Xiao Bumian shook his head, his fingertips idly scratching the chin of the snow lion cat in his arms.
“It’s mid-spring,” the merman said, looking out the window at the crabapple blossoms falling in profusion. “In the second or third month of spring, the raccoons are at their most restless. Some raccoons will show that they don’t like being touched by their owners, and they will be capricious and unruly. But after a while, they will naturally become very clingy again.”
"Spring Festival celebrations?" Xiao Bumian was slightly taken aback, repeated it slowly, and then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
A slight smile played on his lips, and a soft chuckle escaped his throat.
He put the snow lion cat down, thanked the merman, and got up to leave.
The merman behind him couldn't help but call out, "My lord..."
But Xiao Bumian walked slowly, the jade pendant at his waist clinking against his thin sword, producing a clear and melodious sound. The mermaid stared in astonishment at his back, feeling that his steps were even lighter than the falling crabapple blossoms in spring.
After a long pause, he muttered softly, "You haven't asked how to handle this yet."
