Chapter Four: First Experience of Love
The brown wig was neatly styled on both sides, making her skin appear even whiter. Her features, enhanced by the makeup artist—her eyebrows delicately arched, her eyes bright, and her teeth white—combined with the local fitted women's clothing, made her figure look even more slender and graceful.
Huan stared at herself in the mirror for half an hour... but still couldn't accept the fact that the person was herself!
Think about how it came to be like this...
One hour ago—
"A picnic? Great!" Huan exclaimed excitedly.
Although Heng said he would show him the truth, he actually felt that it was no longer important.
When he woke up that morning, Heng was by his side, just like the first night, he hadn't slept all night and stayed by his side.
Just like that night under the starry sky, Heng stroked his head with warm hands, gently calling him "silly boy," and carefully apologized, saying that he was just being willful and wanted to know Huan's feelings for him, but he didn't expect to hurt him...
Then... I acted like an idiot... crying every day... forgiving him without reservation, no, never resenting him... holding him tightly, unwilling to let go, finally I don't have to let go anymore.
It's so good to be by Heng's side!
Therefore, Heng had his reasons for taking him on a picnic, and no matter what they were going to do, he would follow him without any hesitation or trust.
However, a small thing happened when I checked out.
It was the same waiter from that day who came over and said there was a complimentary offer for staying in their VIP deluxe rooms. Heng wasn't really interested at first, but after hearing the details… He secretly glanced at Heng, and sure enough, his expression changed drastically, his eyes narrowing… He knew then that this would happen…
One hour later—
The activity was exactly as he was seeing: cosplay! One of the participants was to be dressed up in the traditional attire of a local bride…
Many people around him were staring at him with shining eyes—being the center of attention in a BL hotel like this. This was truly embarrassing.
Then look at Heng, the culprit... He actually walked towards him with a beaming smile, waving to the others from time to time, his proud expression clearly telling everyone, "He's mine!"
Heavens above... Earth below... Are there any more cracks in the ground?
...
When the numbness in my head subsided, I was already in a train compartment.
It seems Heng walked up to him and gave him a light, fleeting kiss… Oh my god, in front of everyone! Then, feeling dizzy, he pulled me into his arms, and we left, watched by everyone…
"Your face is very red? Are you sick?" Heng leaned closer, looking concerned.
"Um... Heng, what's our relationship now? Have you thought about it?"
She blurted it out without knowing why, and Huan's face turned as red as a ripe apple.
After that day, he finally decided to face the truth about what happened between him and this person. Although he had always refused to admit it before... the heart-wrenching feelings he experienced then made it impossible for him to escape anymore. It was definitely not the kind of feeling that should exist between ordinary friends.
Two men... what should we do?
Heng's actions always seemed intimate, but he never said anything else. I found that since then, the roles have been reversed, and I am now like a weak woman who is conflicted and uneasy, waiting for a promise.
But he wasn't a woman after all.
Is this a good idea?
Moreover, he wasn't sure if Heng's intimate gestures meant what he expected.
Are you an idiot?
Heng looked completely bewildered by his question.
He said he wanted him to stay by his side forever, that he would always protect him, and that he would fulfill all his wishes... How could he not realize that these were promises made only between lovers?
How naive she is.
So--
Heng first let his gaze, like fingers, gently touch him, from his face to his chest... He was truly beautiful, so beautiful that he couldn't control his restless desire.
"Then, let me answer your question with my body, shall we?" he said with a sinister smile.
Huan felt a sense of foreboding. That dangerous and aggressive gaze left him no room for rebuttal... Although it was a private compartment, this was on a train!
...
Without a word, he stole his lips, his tongue teasingly conquering all reason. This passion ignited his body as well, boiling with the one he loved, no longer resisting as before, yielding to his will, responding to his will. His breaths fell like rain and snow...
Heng held him firmly in his arms with one hand, while the other hand explored his body... This local wedding dress looked a bit troublesome... Just as he was considering whether to tear it into strips, Huan reached out a soft hand, gently covering his own, and led him to where the zipper was hidden...
This was his formal invitation. Love is like water dissolving into the sea; love is giving one's own body and bones as a gift to the person one can entrust one's life to!
Removing the extra clothes and having this feeling made him blush with shyness under Heng's fiery gaze, and he involuntarily closed his eyes... feeling the intimacy between his skin and Heng's even more deeply.
Let him eat me up like this.
"Heng—"
"ring--"
They called out each other's names passionately...
...
A striking pair of passengers disembarked from the arriving train.
Not only because both were exceptionally handsome men, but also—
Heng held Huan horizontally in his arms, looking completely satisfied, not minding at all about being watched by others.
Huan buried her face in his chest, trying her best to prevent the onlookers from seeing his face, which made women so envious. However, with his disheveled women's clothing on his body, his actions were clearly just self-deception.
His first time was so nerve-wracking. He had just finished his train journey and arrived at the station. After hurriedly getting dressed, he was about to step out of the compartment when suddenly his legs went weak... He had been too engrossed and excited just now... which was why he had ended up in such an embarrassing state.
However, it wasn't just curious travelers who were staring intently at them.
In a secluded spot on the platform, a dozen pairs of eyes were sharply watching their departing figures.
"Lord Gala, shall we proceed?"
The eager elite troops were deeply puzzled by their commander's delayed action.
"Wait a bit longer, follow along for now, but be careful not to get spotted."
Gella squinted, recalling Elsa's advice before she left.
A powerful obstacle? Does that refer to the man beside the king? What a handsome man, no less so than the king.
But the man showed that gentle expression, even though it was only directed at the king, he couldn't imagine how powerful someone with that expression could be. However, there were exceptions; he thought of the king from before.
Lady Elsa is always serious and doesn't speak without reason, so let's just follow along and see.
...
It's unexpected to find such a welcoming farmhouse in a foreign land.
The owners of the courtyard seemed to be a brother and sister. From the brief conversation I had with them when Heng paid the bill, I learned that in this small village where the number of tourists is rapidly increasing, the tourism facilities are not yet in place. Therefore, almost every household here rents out their rooms to tourists in order to increase their income.
Sitting on the bed, he looked around. It felt like he was back in the orphanage, which explained why he felt so close to it.
However, Heng doesn't think so.
His expensive clothes made him completely out of place in the surrounding vegetable garden and well, and he didn't look like someone on a trip to nature at all.
But he's in a really good mood today... because... well...
Thinking about the lovemaking on the train not long ago, Huan couldn't help but blush again.
"If I had known you were so frail, I would have been more careful."
Heng stood by the bed and placed his head on his chest. Today was definitely a memorable day, but that didn't mean he wouldn't feel heartache. The intensity of his instinctive impulse must have hurt him.
"It's okay, it's just my first time... I'm not used to it..."
Huan buried his head in his chest and gently shook his head. He wouldn't tell Heng that he had almost cut his lip back then, and that his mouth still tasted salty and fishy.
"Your leg should be fine after a good night's sleep. I'll have Tisumina take care of you for the day."
Tisumina? Oh, that's the name of the owner's younger sister. I saw her earlier; she looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, a very cute foreign girl.
Wait a minute! Why should an outsider take care of him?
"Where are you going!" He suddenly realized and instinctively grabbed Heng's hand.
"Huh? Me? Why are you reluctant to part with me? Don't worry, I'll be more careful next time and I definitely won't hurt you again." Heng teased, stroking his smooth forehead. "Silly boy, would I abandon you? I just plan to take you to the scenic area in the mountains tomorrow, so I wanted to go to the town today to buy a map and some clothes for you, otherwise it will be too tiring for you to climb the mountain in your wedding dress tomorrow."
Next time...
The blush that had finally faded returned to her cheeks...
...
Standing in a secluded spot not far from the courtyard, Heng suddenly stopped.
"come out--"
He let out a low growl, but there was no response from the surroundings.
“You guys are really annoying, following me all the way from the train station!”
There was still no movement.
Heng moved with the speed of light and shadow, returning to his original position in an instant, only to find two dead bodies beneath his feet. To be precise, they were not just dead, but decapitated, with blood gushing from their bare necks, staining the surrounding stone pavement red.
He grew impatient: "Come out on your own? Or will I 'invite' you out like these two?"
A soft rustling sound came from the grass not far away, and several burly men stepped out one after another, each with a look of horror on their faces.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, plus the two at his feet. His cold gaze suddenly fixed on the bushes twenty meters away, and he leaped up, reaching out to grab them—
A man with a lewd face and trembling body was thrown heavily to the ground.
“I told you all to come out. If you have hearing problems, we don’t need to keep you here to add to your burden.”
With a flash of light, the blade was so sharp that the man's left ear fell to the ground.
Under his malevolent and terrifying gaze, the man whose ear had been cut off was so frightened that he forgot to scream.
He said that, judging from the footsteps, there should be at least ten people.
It was really troublesome to deal with them one by one. He could have killed them all in an instant, but his curiosity drove him to grab one alive to ask him something, so dismembering their limbs one by one was a very hard task, which took him a full two minutes.
"What a waste of time." He rubbed his shoulder exaggeratedly, standing amidst the wounded and maimed, his icy tone freezing the air around him. "Tell me yourself, I only allow one person to live. Who can tell me what happened here?"
The group looked at each other for a moment, then suddenly exchanged a glance...
Tch, they actually put poison in their teeth! Even without interrogation, we know who's behind this!
Aisha, that little girl, arrived really quickly.
“I…I…I will say.”
How come there are still people alive?
It's the guy who just fainted from the pain of having his ear cut off. Sure enough, this kind of team dynamic produces cowards like him. I feel sorry for his companions.
"Okay, tell me."
However, if you're talking about something I already know, I'll make sure you die a more gruesome death than your comrades.
“We are from the Nobisola family, the secret force directly under the diviner Elsa. Our mission is to assassinate a man with long black hair who was with Lord Ring… it’s you… I… that’s all I know, please spare me, I don’t want to die…” The man’s face was filled with cowardice and fear.
Oh? Assassinate him? He thought they were going to take Huan away. How utterly overconfident.
That's good, at least he doesn't have to worry about Huan for the time being, and can focus on confirming another matter.
He turned and left without looking back.
A mournful, screaming sound, reminiscent of a human atavism, echoed from behind, reverberating through the mountains.
As he cut off the man's ear, he had already placed the worms inside. The worms would devour the man completely within an hour, and of course, the man himself would have to slowly "enjoy" this agonizing process—this was the punishment the traitor deserved.
...
Several miles away in the woods, Gella sat on the trunk of a towering tree, methodically munching on a fruit she had picked at random.
Have they all been wiped out? That was fast.
Just as Elsa said, that person was indeed a powerful obstacle.
Before the operation, he reported the situation to Lady Elsa again and asked for further instructions. Lady Elsa gave him three pieces of advice—
"If we try to follow them, we'll definitely be discovered."
"If we fight head-on, we will be completely wiped out."
"Their mission is to bring the king back."
She also gave him an extra piece of advice, saying that the man was extremely arrogant.
That's why he devised this perfect but somewhat cruel plan.
Since the tracking had been discovered, the people tracking him had to disappear, so his beloved subordinates had to be made scapegoats. Then, his concerns had to be completely dispelled so that he could leave with peace of mind, which is why the role of "traitors" was arranged.
Although he didn't know who that person was, judging from Elsa's cautiousness, they must be someone extraordinary. Even he was chilled to the bone by that scream; he had no desire to confront them.
Fortunately, now that the terrifying guy is gone, the rest of the work can be done by Gella.
Taking advantage of the excellent view from the high vantage point, he gazed at the unassuming farmhouse and couldn't help but burst into a smug laugh.
...
How did you get your leg injured?
"Well, it's not exactly an injury."
"How did that happen?"
"..."
Tisumina sat on the bed opposite him, tilting her head and asking with a serious expression.
Huan felt cold sweat gushing out of her back like a fountain.
"Haha, I know, it was that man who did it, wasn't it?" She teased him with a smile.
Kids these days are so precocious, it's giving me a headache.
"Did he hurt you? Is this your first time? You two look so loving and well-matched, it's truly enviable!" Tisumina leaned closer, her face full of ambiguity.
"Really? I also think it's really great to be with Heng... Hey! This isn't a question for a child!"
Who's really taking care of whom here?! He's the kind of person who's easily induced to reveal his true feelings.
"I'm not a child anymore, I'm going to be a bride tomorrow." She winked.
"How old are you?"
She didn't seem to be lying, which only confused Huan Yun further.
"I'll be fourteen tomorrow. Here, girls can get married at fourteen. And—" she said, her face beaming with happiness, "my brother and I have already made a promise that we'll get married as soon as we turn fourteen, so I can be his wife in the truest sense!"
Brother? No way? Huan almost bit her tongue.
“He’s not my biological brother.” Huan’s reaction was probably something she’d encountered with many tourists. She wasn’t embarrassed; instead, her expression became serious. “Here, it’s the parents who decide where a girl marries. It’s very rare for a girl to marry someone she loves. I’m an orphan. I heard my family was killed by terrorists. My brother took me in, and I’ve had only one wish since I was little—to be his bride.”
Terrorists… He thought of Heng.
Her brother's voice called from outside. Tisumina stood up, walked to Huan, and sincerely took his hand: "I liked you two from the first moment I saw you. Because I could see that you two had made a great decision to love each other and formed a deep bond regardless of everything... I think being with the one you love is the most precious thing we should cherish. You two should be happy too!"
...It took a lot of determination for us to fall in love...
...a deep bond was formed regardless of everything...
...Being with the one you love...
...You must be happy...
Huan murmured to herself.
Through the window, I saw Tisumina and her brother collecting laundry, her cheerful laughter echoing throughout the yard. It was truly unexpected that she was such a precocious child, capable of such outspokenness.
However, he planned to postpone the mountain climbing trip by one day until Heng returned to discuss it with him, because he was really looking forward to attending the wedding tomorrow.
