Chapter 831 - Had He Understood Right? (1/2)

While Jinde and Leng Jin Yu had already gone back to being their normal selves, Qiu Ling was still fussing over his beloved. He patted down his body, trying to find any of the grievous wounds that he was imagining. To his surprise, he couldn't find even a single one.

Jing Yi couldn't help but become even more embarrassed by his lover's worry. Ah, just what was he supposed to say? Explaining was embarrassing but not explaining was also embarrassing.

In the end, he could only grab Qiu Ling's hands and give him an awkward smile. ”It's alright. I'm … I'm alright. You don't have to worry. Nothing is wrong.”

Qiu Ling looked at his beloved, not feeling too reassured. Who knew if his beloved was just saying this to make him feel better? It would certainly be in line with his personality. As a good lover, he shouldn't be dissuaded from making sure that he was alright just because of what his beloved said. No, it was very important to continue to check.

Jing Yi's face turned even redder when Qiu Ling didn't stop. ”It's really alright!” He tried to push Qiu Ling's hands off but the dragon king wouldn't have it.

”If you're hurt, you can say it. I'll definitely try to help you as well as I can. If it's really bad, I can just go and get the old geezer. He knows about medicine. He'll be able to help you.”

Jing Yi smiled wryly. ”That's not it. I just …” Well, it seemed he wouldn't get around it. ”I was just embarrassed.”

Qiu Ling blinked his eyes. ”Why though?”

Jing Yi looked over to where Leng Jin Yu and Jinde had stood before and sighed. ”Do you remember the last time I saw them?”

Qiu Ling pondered and then straightforwardly shook his head. ”No. What about it?”

Jing Yi sighed. ”That time …” His cheeks and ears turned an even darker shade of red. ”He wasn't wearing clothes.”

Qiu Ling just looked at his beloved and couldn't figure out what the problem was. ”So?”

Jing Yi looked at him, failing to understand why Qiu Ling didn't mind at all. ”That's … You don't mind?”

Qiu Ling gave a goofy smile and pulled Jing Yi into his arms, happily brushing through his hair and rubbing his back. ”Ah, so you were afraid I'd be angry? Don't you worry! He's together with my father anyway. I don't think he'd be trying to make a move on you.”

Jing Yi's lips twitched. Who was afraid the other person would make a move on him? He hadn't thought of that at all! He was just embarrassed that he had seen somebody naked! Was that so strange?

He looked away, trying to calm his thoughts. Then, he blinked his eyes. ”Wait, what? Your father?”

Qiu Ling nodded. ”Mn.”

”But …” Jing Yi looked at where Jinde and Leng Jin Yu had vanished again and couldn't understand what Qiu Ling meant. ”I thought that your father was dead?” After all, wasn't that what Qiu Ling had told him back then when he had been imprisoned in his inner self?
