23 Who Is the Shameless One? (1/2)

Yun Bei Fen held onto his savior's shoulders for dear life, his eyes wide open. He hadn't yet realized that the person he was hanging onto was his beloved senior martial brother Mei. At the moment, he only felt that the sword below his feet was missing and heard his robe flapping in the wind. The gusts also blew his hair into his face.

What had his Master done? Could it be that he didn't want him anymore?! He had actually thrown him away just like that! And in the air at that! If nobody had caught him, he might have fallen down and died a terrible death!

Ah, thankfully, someone had caught him! He should light up some incense to pray for that person's good fortune when they arrived in the border region.

Yun Bei Fen looked up with grateful eyes only to blank when he saw the dark eyes he had daydreamed about so often stare back at him. ”Senior martial brother Mei?”

”Mn.” Mei Chao Bing smiled. ”Don't you want to step onto the sword?”

Yun Bei Fen looked down only to see his feet dangle in the air next to Mei Chao Bing's sword. He blinked.

Wait. If his feet weren't on the sword … then how was he not falling?

He looked up again and found his hands clutching Mei Chao Bing's shoulders. His cheeks that had paled when his Master threw him off flushed red and he hurriedly looked away. Before he had time to chastise himself for his behavior, he found out that not only was he holding onto Mei Chao Bing's shoulders, Mei Chao Bing was, in turn, holding onto his waist.

His ears also turned red. Oh no! How could this have happened? Just what had his Master done?! This was even worse than just letting go of him in the air!

Mei Chao Bing smiled. Had this short fall frightened the little bunny that much? Mn, he shouldn't let him suffer any longer. He pulled him up onto the sword but still didn't let go of him. Don't kid him! He finally had him where he wanted him. Why wouldn't he take advantage of that? Especially since Yun Bei Fen's Master didn't seem to mind the thought.

Mn, since his Master was alright with this, there was no reason to hold back. He held Yun Bei Fen with one hand and cupped his cheek with the other. ”It's alright now. Don't be afraid. You're safe here with me.”

Yun Bei Fen's heart raced and his body seemed to burn where Mei Chao Bing was touching him. Oh, no! What should he do now? Wouldn't his senior martial brother remember that kiss if things went on like this? He couldn't let that happen! He had to divert his attention somehow.

He glanced around for anything he could use but the only thing he saw was Mei Chao Bing's robe and the hair hanging down over his shoulder and the sword below their feet. Mn, what a nice pair of shoes. He couldn't say that, could he?
