26 Reward His Effort a Little (1/2)

Mei Chao Bing barely managed to catch himself before they made contact with the treetops. He pulled Yun Bei Fen closer against his chest and turned in the air before he continued to fall. He did make the effort to slow their fall though and naturally, he used some of his spiritual energy to snap the biggest branches before they could collide with them. He couldn't risk that anything would happen to Yun Bei Fen, after all.

Finally, they crashed into the ground. Mei Chao Bing made a show of groaning and rolling to the side, trapping his little junior in his arms and burying him by half. Then, he pretended to have passed out.

Yun Bei Fen lay below Mei Chao Bing with his eyes wide open. They had just fallen from the sky! Ow, his knees … He reached down and rubbed them, only to find that the fabric of his robe had torn and his skin was scrapped. Oh no! What would senior martial brother Mei say when he saw him like this? Wouldn't he think he was useless?!

Thinking of him … Yun Bei Fen turned to the side and tried to look into his face but it was buried in his neck, his hair covering most of it. Yun Bei Fen waited but his senior martial brother didn't get up. In fact, he didn't move at all.

Yun Bei Fen's heartbeat picked up. It couldn't be that something had happened to him, could it?! He reached up and gently shook his shoulder.

”Senior martial brother Mei?”

He didn't get a reaction. Yun Bei Fen's eyes widened even further. Oh no! He really was hurt! What should he do now?!

He tried to push Mei Chao Bing off him to at least take a look but the older man was too heavy for him to move from this position. Yun Bei Fen's eyes teared up. ”This is all my fault. I'm so sorry, senior martial brother Mei! You already told me you needed a break from flying so fast but I didn't say we should descend immediately. Uwu, why didn't I say it? Now you're like this … And I can't even get you any help! I'm not useful at all. I'm just making trouble for you. You shouldn't have met me at all! It's all my fault!”

Mei Chao Bing frowned. He had hoped his little bunny would get a little worried on his behalf and maybe try to take care of him, showing off his love so that they could get closer. But how come the little person was instead sobbing his eyes out now?!

He really wanted to go and ask Elder Baili just how he had raised Yun Bei Fen.

Mei Chao Bing made an effort to twitch a little and groan again before shifting to the side, his head now coming to lie a little further from Yun Bei Fen so he would be able to take a look. This should probably calm him down a bit?

Yun Bei Fen froze when the person he was apologizing to moved and even made a sound. He held his breath but called out again when he didn't hear anything else. ”Senior martial brother Mei?”
