cold
Ye Jingan loved seeing him blush and feel shy, so he never dared to provoke him before. If he got angry, broken arms and legs would be the least of his worries. He would be captured and fed to ghosts and corpse babies, or forced to have mouth-to-mouth sex with a thousand-year-old zombie. These were all things that Liu could do.
But his brain occasionally gets choppy, and today was probably one of them. He had to seize this rare opportunity. Who knows, tomorrow he might turn into the thorny, rebellious Brother Liu, or the cold, sour-faced Grandmaster. A good kid like him is hard to come by!
Ye Jingan teased him all day, and at night he sneaked into his room with a pillow and said, "Brother Liu, can I sleep with you?"
Liu Muze hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't want to."
Ye Jingan raised the corner of his mouth and got into the quilt: "You want to."
A scorching breath hit him, and Liu Muze buried his face in the pillow. He couldn't feel any heat on his face, and his ears were right next to Ye Jing'an. Hearing Ye Jing'an's breathing so close to him, his ears almost burned, and he quickly covered his head with the quilt.
"You are so cute, I love you so much!" Ye Jing'an touched his head through the quilt, adjusted his posture and lay on his side to be hugged.
The person he had just embraced shuddered all over and didn't move again. Ye Jing'an even suspected that he had just hugged a wooden stake. He pinched his arm and said with a smile, "It's not like I haven't hugged someone before. Why are you so stiff as a piece of frozen meat today?"
Liu Muzhe pursed his lips tightly.
It was true that he had been held many times. Ye Jingan would struggle to sleep, with his arms and legs resting on others. One time, he was held for an hour without letting go. It was much tighter than the one he was being held now. He was also held a lot when he was awake. But before, I treated Ye Jingan like a child, so it was no big deal to hold my own child for a while.
After expressing his feelings, Ye Jingan also slept with him in his arms for a night, but he was really too tired at the time and just wanted to go to bed and rest, so he didn't pay much attention. Now, he suddenly felt that Ye Jingan had changed into a different person, no longer the little brat he used to be. He really couldn't feel that holding him was nothing like before.
After a while, Ye Jingan exhaled and whispered, "Hold me."
These three words were spoken without the usual playful and teasing tone. Instead, they were spoken seriously and softly. To Liu Muze, they sounded like the sound of a huge bronze bell, making his brain numb.
Ye Jing'an knew that he was not asleep. Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, he chuckled and grabbed his hands behind his back, tightened his waist, and passed his other hand under his neck and held his head.
Liu Muze was very thin, and Ye Jing'an completely wrapped him up. Being held in this position, Liu Muze stiffened to a new level, his heart exploding. He clenched his fists on Ye Jing'an's back, keeping a distance from him.
What made him furious was not Ye Jingan's behavior, but his own inner thoughts. He actually felt very secure when being held by Ye Jingan, and he liked being held and wanted to hug Ye Jingan tightly.
Why do I have this idea...
"If you don't breathe out, you'll suffocate to death." Ye Jing'an couldn't feel any breathing around his neck, as if he was holding a zombie. The zombie's heart was almost beating into his stomach.
Liu Muze regained consciousness and realized he was holding his breath. He took a deep breath, and it was all familiar. The air, tinged with Ye Jingan's scent, was like a drug, making his mind increasingly uncontrollable. His fists on Ye Jingan's back tightened and loosened.
Liu Muzhe's breathing became more and more disordered.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jing'an touched his face, which was really hot. "If you don't like being hugged, then don't hug me. I won't force you. Go to sleep."
Ye Jingan let him go, stretched, turned over and went to sleep.
Liu Muze let out a long sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing, yet his heart felt empty, as if a piece of flesh had been cut out. Perhaps he had been warmed by Ye Jingan's embrace, but the loosening of his grip made him feel a chill running down his spine.
This feeling is so familiar.
He remembered that when he was a child, he had no bed or quilt to sleep on at night, so he could only curl up in a pile of hay in a dilapidated temple. The wind at night was biting cold, and if it rained a little, it would be like sleeping on ice. He could only curl up to keep himself warm.
He couldn't sleep soundly, as starving ghosts would come and grab people to eat. Human traffickers might also pass by and snatch him away, butchering him for meat. But because he was good-looking, he was more likely to be captured and sold as a boy prostitute, where he would be abused by high-ranking officials.
"Hmm?" Ye Jing'an noticed that the quilt was shaking a little. "Brother Liu, why are you always moving?"
Ye Jingan turned over and found him curled up in a ball, shivering. His sleepiness instantly disappeared, and he gently hugged him: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little cold." Liu Muzhe said with a slightly trembling voice.
"Huh?" Ye Jing'an was confused. It was so hot even under the covers that day. I was already sweating after just hugging her.
Ye Jingan covered him with most of the quilt, pressing it tightly to prevent the wind from coming in. Liu Muze was still shivering, so Ye Jingan got up again and went to the sofa on the first floor to get a blanket.
"Brother Liu, wrap yourself in a blanket and you won't be cold anymore." Ye Jing'an wrapped the furry blanket around him. "Brother Liu?"
Ye Jingan noticed something was wrong. Was Brother Liu afraid again? The last time he was afraid was in a nightmare, alone and helpless, falling into the abyss. He couldn't fall asleep now, and Ye Jingan was still by his side. What was there to be afraid of?
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Jingan asked softly.
Liu Muzhe didn't say anything and curled up tightly in the quilt.
Seeing his actions, Ye Jingan felt an indescribable pain in his heart. When people lack a sense of security, they often curl themselves up to minimize their exposed area. This is a typical self-protective behavior.
Ye Jing'an remembered that Brother Liu used to sleep straight, without moving at all. He would wake up the same way in the morning as he slept at night, and even his clothes wouldn't get wrinkled.
He was a terrestrial immortal, his physique was better than others in every way. He was also very cold-resistant, so while others wore three layers, he only wore two. He was like a furnace, always warm, and never felt cold.
However, today was different. He curled up in a ball, feeling insecure. Perhaps it was a memory deep within him that was surfacing again. When he was a child, had he always slept like this, frightened and cold day after day?
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ye Jing'an picked him up and said, "From now on, just sleep soundly. I'm here, no one dares to touch you."
The master also said this at that time.
Liu Muzhe's mind was completely blank. After being stunned for a long time, he slowly reached out to hug Ye Jingan and tucked his head into his shoulder.
Seeing him like this, Ye Jingan's heart ached. What on earth had happened to him while he was sleeping at night to make him become like this?
Ye Jing'an didn't sleep well that night. Firstly, he didn't dare to sleep soundly, fearing that Brother Liu would have another nightmare. Secondly, Brother Liu kept burrowing into his arms, holding him tightly. He was already very strong, and after falling asleep, he didn't know how to control himself. His arms were pressed against his back, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Ye Jingan woke up at dawn. He didn't want to go back to sleep. He stroked Liu Muze's hair and was in a daze. After a while, he reached out and rubbed his earlobe.
Liu Muzhe hummed twice and rubbed Ye Jingan with his face.
How could I bear this! Although it was an unconscious action while he was asleep, it was just a way of acting like a spoiled child. I couldn't even imagine Brother Liu acting like a spoiled child, but today I actually saw it!
Ye Jingan rolled his Adam's apple and touched his face.
Liu Muze hummed twice more, and moved his head so that his nose was just facing Ye Jingan's neck. Warm breaths rushed over him, and Ye Jingan's neck tightened. His heart felt like being gently tickled by a feather, itchy and uncomfortable.
"Brother Liu, I'm going to the bathroom. Can you just go to sleep?" Ye Jing'an gently pried his hands apart.
Liu Muze's hands were empty, and he was unhappy and started to make a fuss. He grabbed Ye Jingan with one hand and hugged him tightly, not letting him leave.
Ye Jingan was stunned. Is this man Brother Liu?
It shouldn't be!
Even if the sun rises from the west, he would never act coquettishly towards others.
"Brother Liu, are you awake?" Ye Jing'an patted him gently, "Are you my Brother Liu?"
Liu Muze hummed softly: "Don't go."
"Okay, then hold him for a while longer." Ye Jing'an looked at Liu Muze sleeping obediently, feeling very precious. He touched Liu Muze's face and pulled his ears.
When Liu Muze's ears were pulled, he groaned softly, tilted his head and hid his ear in the pillow to prevent him from touching it. Ye Jingan found it interesting and pulled the other ear. Liu Muze groaned in annoyance and buried his head in the quilt.
Ye Jing'an discovered that there were some parts of Liu Muzhe's body that he didn't want anyone to touch. He thought of trying them while he was sleeping so that he could be more careful next time and know where to start when bullying others.
He started from the head, touching the eyes, nose, and mouth, but Liu Muzhe didn't react. When he touched the neck, Liu Muzhe subconsciously shrank.
Ye Jingan laughed inwardly and tickled Liu Muze's armpits again. He was afraid of being tickled, and thought Liu Muze would have a big reaction, but he didn't expect the Liu guy to have no reaction at all.
Ye Jing'an silently sighed in his heart that Brother Liu's ticklish parts were different from those of normal people. He wondered where else Liu Muzhe would be more sensitive. There were two dangerous areas that he didn't dare touch at all. If he touched them carelessly, Brother Liu would definitely get angry. After thinking about it, the only areas left were the waist and the soles of the feet.
He couldn't scratch the sole of the foot even if he held it straight, and he already knew that the waist was Brother Liu's sensitive area, so this was pointless.
When Ye Jing'an was feeling bored, Liu Muzhe turned over.
I haven’t touched my belly yet!
Ye Jingan recalled the time in the villa when Brother Liu's clothes were torn by the corpse baby, just revealing his belly button, which was quite funny. He reached into his clothes and rubbed Liu Muze's belly.
Liu Muzhe frowned, covered his stomach, turned over, and kicked.
"Ah..." Ye Jing'an gritted his teeth and endured the pain. This kick was much more powerful than the last time. It turned out that he was kicked two meters away before, but Brother Liu was not serious and was just joking with him.
This Liu guy is really a bomb. You can't touch him carelessly. He will explode if you touch him, no matter what the situation is.
When he looked up, Liu Muze had already sat up, his eyes cold and frightening. Ye Jingan was too familiar with this look. No one who was looked at with this look by him had a good ending!
It’s over!
