27 I Love You (2/2)

Mei Chao Bing grimaced, making sure he looked like he was seriously blaming himself. ”Fen'er, actually, I don't want to say this. I had hoped that in your eyes I could be a responsible senior martial brother, someone who is worth looking up to, someone whom you can regard as a role model and whom you would think positively about.”

”I do! Senior martial brother Mei, I certainly do! You're the person I admire the most in the whole Teng Yong Sect! No, not even that. The person I admire the most in the whole world!”

Mei Chao Bing smiled and brushed Yun Bei Fen's cheek with his thumb. Mn, his little bunny had tortured him so much before. He should give a little of it back. ”I'm very happy to hear that. But actually, I don't deserve this high regard. Actually, I'm a very selfish person, not admirable at all.”

”No, not at all!”

Mei Chao Bing put his finger against Yun Bei Fen's lips to hush him. ”Junior martial brother Yun, about back then when we saw each other before you went into secluded cultivation … Was that kiss the reason you secluded yourself?”

”Ah?” Yun Bei Fen's eyes widened and he was unable to react. How had his senior martial brother found out?! Oh no! What should he do now?

Mei Chao Bing sighed and nodded slowly, looking very much like he blamed himself. ”I thought so. Well, it was to be expected. I surprised you and took advantage of you without caring for your feelings at all. You were so shocked you even ran away afterward.

”I came by several times wanting to apologize to you but you were still in seclusion. When I saw you at Sect Master Zhang's announcement, I wanted to use the opportunity to apologize and then, I really was given the chance to do so. We saw each other out here and your Master even left you with me, giving me the time to say what needed to be said. I wanted to apologize. I really wanted and I guess I did, in a way.

”It's just that … holding you in my arms, feeling your warmth against my body, smelling your sweet fragrance on the wind … I couldn't hold back. I assaulted you once again and even at such an inopportune time so that you were almost hurt.

”I know, an apology isn't enough anymore. I took advantage of you twice. I would like to promise that this won't happen again, that I'll somehow make it up to you but, actually, I can't promise anything. Because as soon as I see you my mind goes blank. I can't think of anything but how beautiful you are, how lovely your voice sounds and how sweet you smell. I want to wrap you in my arms, hug you and kiss you and do so many more things with you.

”Junior martial brother Yun, I know, I have no right to say this but … I've loved you for the longest time. Whenever I see you my heart will be beating loudly, drowning out everything else. I don't think I'll be able to love anyone else in this life as much as I love you.”
