Chapter 272 - A Pair of Special Eyes (1/2)

Qiguan Cheng Da took his leave after another few words. He regretted not having more time to make a lasting impression on Qiu Ling but he felt like he had already done the best that he could. Most likely the Grandmaster's disciple would remember him the next time they met. Especially considering he'd be the one to come back the next month.

Qiguan Cheng Da naturally was too optimistic: Qiu Ling already threw his visit to the back of his mind as soon as he turned around and vanished from his sight. Instead, his whole attention was on Jing Yi.

He grabbed his beloved's hands with glittering eyes. ”How was I?”

”Mn, very good.” Jing Yi smiled rewardingly but his fiance didn't seem satisfied at all. Jing Yi's lips twitched. This kind of thing … Did Qiu Ling really need to take it this seriously? No, wait, he probably didn't. This was just him being shameless again. ”You did especially well. As expected of my fiance.” Even though he knew this was a ploy, he still tiptoed and gave Qiu Ling a kiss.

A beautiful smile instantly blossomed on Qiu Ling's lips. ”Mn, my love!” He encircled Jing Yi's waist with both arms and held him in place. ”Don't be hasty! Why would you want to step back already? Didn't you just say I did especially well? Why do I only get such a short kiss? I demand a second one!”

Jing Yi took a measuring look at his fiance who seemed extremely serious for once if one didn't consider what he was talking about. ”You demand it?”

Qiu Ling pondered if his beloved would get angry if he said yes. Most likely … he wouldn't. Thus, he nodded curtly.

Jing Yi barely held back another smile. ”What if I don't intend to fulfill your demand?”

Qiu Ling's expression blanked. Somehow, he hadn't thought of this scenario. He had only considered if Jing Yi would get angry or fulfill his request.

Jing Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud at Qiu Ling's dumbfounded expression. Even though he had seen him in many moods, he didn't really get the opportunity to see him like this often.

Indulgently, he circled Qiu Ling's neck with his arms and gave him the second kiss he had wanted. He even made sure it was a bit longer than the one before lest his fiance complained.

Qiu Ling definitely didn't think of complaining right now. His lips lingering on Jing Yi's, he held him in his arms and closed his eyes in satisfaction. Feeling his beloved's warmth at his body, hearing his steady and maybe slightly faster than normal heartbeat he really was in an exceptionally good mood.

When Jing Yi finally managed to disentangle himself from Qiu Ling the first thing he saw was a brilliant smile and a pair of eyes overflowing with love. His heart gave a loud thump while his own gaze unconsciously singled in on Qiu Ling's eyes. He had no idea why but he had always felt that they were somehow special, something he should look at. Even when he first met Qiu Ling at the Gathering of Practitioners this notion had crossed his mind.
