Chapter 458 - Two Lovebirds (1/2)

Qiu Ling peered at Jing Yi's expression. It seemed like … his beloved wasn't too happy? But this wasn't the same unhappiness he had shown before. Earlier, he had clearly felt troubled because of his presence and might even have considered to throw him out. But now … He looked a little hurt.

But why? He hadn't done anything too overboard, had he? He pondered the issue and found himself to be blameless. So that left the question why his beloved was troubled now. Could it be he regretted his decision to split up with him?

Qiu Ling's eyes gleamed. That had to be it! After all, why else would he kiss his cheek? And he had even shown such a sad expression and touched him so gently. This could only mean that he was still very much in love with him!

Mn, maybe he actually didn't want to be with that Yu Jin but something had forced him to do so? Oh, no! Could it be something had happened in the secret realm?! Qiu Ling's gaze flitted about while he decided on his course of action. He should definitely go and break some bones! But before that …

Qiu Ling blinked and took Jing Yi's hands again, making sure he was as careful as possible. Whatever had happened to his beloved it wouldn't change the way he saw him. His Jing He would always be the most beautiful, most gentle, most perfect person in his mind.

Jing Yi's heart thumped. Why … was Qiu Ling looking at him like this? And why was he so gentle? It was really … hard to shake him off if he was so gentle. Even more so than before. ”Qiu Ling …”

”My love, don't you worry. I'll always be at your side. Now …” Qiu Ling smiled smugly. ”Since you don't want to give me a kiss as a reward, how about giving me one as compensation? You know it was really hard to fly all the way to my Master's palace and wait for him to write that letter, and then even fly to the Sect Master too before he went to gather the stuff you would need. The whole time I was suffering because of my longing for you! So some compensation would be appropriate, don't you think?”

Jing Yi had the crazy urge to do what Qiu Ling had just proposed. He could even imagine himself smile but he hurriedly shook his head. No! He couldn't do this. Tian was still waiting for him. He couldn't … grow weak in front of Qiu Ling.

”No. I've already told you, haven't I? I don't love you anymore. I'm in love with somebody else.”

Qiu Ling shushed him. ”Don't say that. I'm talking about compensation. That shouldn't be asking too much.”

”I … I already kissed your cheek!”

Qiu Ling pouted. ”But I want a kiss on the lips!”

”You …” Jing Yi didn't know what to say any longer.

”Mn, you don't need to say anything else. I know, actually, I'm the most important to you so just 'you' will suffice!” He smiled brightly and leaned forward but unfortunately found a hand in his face the next moment. It seemed like he wouldn't get that kiss on the lips today. Ah, well, there were still other days. At least his beloved was talking to him again.
