Chapter 398 - Stoking His Desire (1/2)

Jing Yi stood in place and blankly looked ahead. What had just happened?

He sighed and sat down at the table where he had just prepared the tea. There was no need to think about it. He already knew. Seeing the familiar figure of that man in one of his memories even if it was a memory from the beginning when his past self obviously hadn't known him very well and didn't feel much for him his own heart inevitably beat faster. So just now, his own consciousness had been called out and he had instinctively reacted and reached out to the man he loved. Unfortunately, this had stopped him from seeing how the rest of the memory had originally played out.

Jing Yi sighed again. How could he have reacted so impulsively? He should have known that this would happen! Why couldn't he have just watched and seen where everything led? Now he had missed the last part of this memory because he was too impatient.

Well, there was nothing he could do now besides trying to elicit another memory. He closed his eyes and tried to calm his wildly beating heart again. He slowly breathed in and out but just when he thought he was successful a pair of arms snaked around his waist and a pair of lips pressed against his cheek, disturbing his concentration.

Jing Yi's eyes flew open and he was tempted to turn around. He really wanted nothing more than to snuggle up against this person and lift his gaze to finally look at him. But he knew he couldn't or this would end just like the memory from before. Thus he suppressed his own wishes and just followed Jing He's memory.

Well, at least this time Jing He's reaction was not that different from his own. When his lover pulled him closer up against his chest Jing He's heartbeat picked up and he actually raised his hands to cover those of Tian while resting his head against that broad chest behind him. His lips carried a sweet smile and he closed his eyes in contentment.

”It's only one more day.” Tian's hands gently caressed him while his breath brushed against Jing He's skin.

”I'm sorry for leaving you alone.”

”Ngh, don't be. As long as you come back to me.” The grip of those arms tightened a little and Tian lifted him off the chair before sitting down himself and pulling him onto his lap. ”It's just … about two months. I'll be able to take that. Although … I'll miss you terribly. There won't be even one day that I don't spend thinking about you.”

Jing He lifted a hand and placed it on Tian's chest, feeling his heartbeat. Strong and fast. He obviously really … loved him very much.

Tian reached out and cupped his cheek. He craned his neck and their lips met, Jing He's long hair hanging down like a curtain to cover them from curious gazes. Being sure that nobody would be able to see Jing He felt emboldened. He reached up and circled his lover's neck.
