After snuggling in his master's arms for a while, Qin An reluctantly let go and stepped out of Shu Lan's embrace.
Qin An took his master's hand and led him to his master's room. "Master, you're still injured, go and heal yourself!"
"My injuries are all healed!" Shu Lan said helplessly as Qin An pulled her towards the room. On the way back to the Star River Sect, Qin An had given her a healing pill, and her internal injuries were mostly healed, leaving only some external wounds.
"No, Master Brother, your injuries need to be treated as soon as possible!" Qin An pulled his Master Brother into the room and forcefully pressed him onto the bed.
Afterwards, Qin An began searching for healing medicine in his master's room. Shu Lan sat quietly on the bed, watching Qin An take out bottle after bottle of healing medicine from the drawer.
In no time, all the medicines were found.
Qin An then took out another healing pill and had Shu Lan take it.
"Um, didn't I already take a healing pill? I don't need to take another one!" Shu Lan leaned back slightly, avoiding Qin An's hand that was offering her the healing pill.
Qin An remained silent, only looking at Shu Lan with unwavering eyes. Shu Lan could only see a few words clearly in his eyes: "I have to eat."
In the end, Shu Lan gave in and reached out to take the healing pill: "Alright, alright! I know you're doing this for my own good, I'll take it!"
Qin An did not hand the healing pill to Shu Lan, but stubbornly fed it to his master brother with his own hand.
Shu Lan reluctantly opened her mouth and obediently swallowed the healing pill that Qin An handed her.
Just as Shu Lan swallowed the healing pill, Qin An jerked his hand back as if he had been electrocuted. Just moments before, his fingers had accidentally touched his master's lips.
Qin An put the hand he had used to feed the medicine behind his back, his fingers gently rubbing together, still savoring the feeling. So this is how soft his master's lips are; he wondered what it would be like to kiss them…
Since realizing his own feelings, Qin An has not stopped himself from lusting after his master brother. He lets his desires fill his heart, but he doesn't know when they will erupt.
I'm already content just to see my master every day; I dare not ask for anything more.
After watching his master brother take the healing pill, Qin An took out a healing ointment. "Master brother, let me apply the medicine for you."
"No, no, no, I can do it myself!" Shu Lan snatched the healing ointment from Qin An's hand and began to take off her outer robe.
Qin An consciously walked outside the screen.
Hearing the rustling sound of his master taking off his clothes, Qin An felt a little itchy inside.
After a moment, Qin An heard his master brother's embarrassed voice: "Um, Xiao An, I can't reach the back, can you help me apply it?"
Upon hearing this, Qin An stepped out from behind the screen and went to his master's bedside.
At this moment, his master brother was facing away from Qin An, and his jade-like back was covered with scars of all sizes, some of which were so deep that the bone was visible.
Qin An looked at his master's back, which was covered in wounds, and felt a pang of heartache. He gently dabbed some ointment on his hand and carefully applied it to his master's wounds. His movements were very light, as if a feather were gently brushing against his skin.
As Qin An gently applied the ointment, Shu Lan felt a cool sensation and a slight itch where his hands touched her. Shu Lan's body trembled slightly involuntarily.
"What's wrong? Is it very painful, Master?" Qin An noticed Shu Lan's trembling and asked with heartache.
"No, it doesn't hurt, it's just a little itchy, and I'm ticklish," Shu Lan said somewhat embarrassedly, the tips of her ears turning slightly red. Heaven knows, the dignified Venerable Han Qing is ticklish! If others knew this, they'd laugh themselves to death!
"Master, please bear with me, I'll go faster!" After hearing what his master said, Qin An thought his master was so cute. His lips curled up slightly, and his eyes were full of tenderness. His handsome face became even more beautiful with his smile. It was a pity that Shu Lan did not see this beautiful scene.
Qin An increased his speed slightly, but his movements remained very gentle.
Qin An quickly finished applying the ointment to Shu Lan's wounds.
Qin An's gaze fell on Shu Lan's waist, and he felt that his master brother seemed to have become even thinner after not seeing him for several years. His already slender waist had become even more delicate. It felt as if a light touch would break it.
"Master brother," Qin An suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Shu Lan was a little confused.
You've lost weight!
"No way!" Shu Lan quickly put on her clothes after seeing Qin An finish applying the ointment to the wound on his back. Qin An's gaze flickered, and he noticed that his master's clothes had already covered his slender waist, which made Qin An feel a little regretful.
“You’ve just lost weight.” Qin An’s eyes were fixed on Shu Lan.
Shu Lan felt a little guilty. Since Qin An disappeared four years ago, she hadn't eaten much. Although she had stopped eating and didn't need to eat, compared to when Qin An used to feed her the food he made every day, she obviously wouldn't gain weight.
In addition, he didn't get much rest every day. Although cultivators have plenty of energy, the body can't take it if they don't rest for a long time, so he naturally lost weight.
Seeing that his master brother was silent and looked guilty, Qin An didn't argue with him. He simply hugged his master brother gently from behind and said, "Master brother, I will never leave you again, I will never make you worry again, and I will never make you sad again."
Although his master brother didn't say it, Qin An could guess that during the years he was missing, his master brother must have been constantly worried about him and probably hadn't been able to get enough rest.
The thought of causing his master brother so much worry made Qin An feel that he was really wrong. He wished he could go back a few years and give his younger self a good beating.
Shu Lan was quietly held in Qin An's arms, feeling the warmth of his embrace and wanting to immerse herself in it, her heart pounding faster. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but Shu Lan felt that Qin An's heart was also beating very fast.
After hugging his master brother for a while, Qin An slowly let go. "Master brother, you haven't had any of my pastries in a long time. Let me make some for you!"
After saying that, Qin An got up and walked towards the small kitchen.
After a while, Qin An came over with a plate of pastries. "Master, have a taste and see how I made them!"
Under Qin An's expectant gaze, Shu Lan picked up a pastry, gently put it in her mouth, and began to chew.
"Mmm, it's delicious!" Qin An's eyes lit up even more as soon as Shu Lan finished speaking. "Then, Master, you should eat more!"
So, under Qin An's gentle gaze, Shu Lan ate the pastries that Qin An had made for him, piece by piece.
Shu Lan felt that the atmosphere was very warm and cozy, and she hoped that it could continue forever.
