33 Let’s Spend More Time Together (2/2)
”Ah, that's not the case either. It's just that …” I pretended in the beginning and then you surprised me, making the lie come true. He couldn't say that, could he? He sighed. ”I was always alone in the sect so I have no experience in flying together with somebody. I miscalculated. That's all. Let's not dwell on it any longer.”
Yun Bei Fen nodded well-behaved. If senior martial brother Mei said it was alright, then it was alright. Although … ”Senior martial brother Mei, since we're stranded here now … what are we going to do? Wait until somebody finds us?”
”That …” Mei Chao Bing turned onto his back and looked at the sky. He should say the truth now. Or if he didn't want to say it, then he should say that his spiritual energy had already been restored and that he could fly them over to the border region now. Unfortunately, his heart was reluctant to comply with what his mind knew. He still wanted to spend time with Yun Bei Fen.
”Are you alright?” Yun Bei Fen leaned over him and peered into his face. ”You … you wouldn't have been hurt badly, would you? Do you need me to go search for water or something?” Yun Bei Fen's brows were furrowed and his hair hung down, framing his face like a veil.
Mei Chao Bing reached out and ran his fingers through it, finally grabbing onto one of the strands and holding it lightly. ”Fen'er … the others will need some days to arrive at the border region. How about spending some more time with me? We haven't had many opportunities to get to know each other. We barely saw each other. So … would you like to?”
Yun Bei Fen's cheeks flushed and even the color of his ears seemed to change. ”That … that doesn't sound bad.”
”Then let's make our way through the forest on foot.”
”Oh.”
”It's … it's not that I can't fly anymore. I just … want to spend time with you and with how things stand with our other martial brothers I'm afraid that I won't have many chances to do so when everyone has set up camp together.”
”I'm sure it'll get better. The others just don't know you. As soon as they know how you really are, they won't be like this anymore. You'll see.”
Mei Chao Bing nodded. ”Maybe I'll really see. For now, I'd like to be alone with you though.”
”Alright. Since my Master threw me to you he shouldn't be too worried anyway. So we can just take our time.” Yun Bei Fen lowered his head and pursed his lips. ”You know I'm also very happy if I get to spend more of it with you.”
”That's good then.” Mei Chao Bing brushed Yun Bei Fen's hair behind his ear and sat up, pulling him along. ”We should get ready then. If we're too slow, I can fly us the rest of the way but wouldn't it be nice to experience some things on the way? I'm sure that would be good for your cultivation too.”
”Mn!” Yun Bei Fen nodded eagerly and thus, the two of them set out toward the boundary between their territory and that of the evil sects again.
The Master who wouldn't worry about him … He still had no idea that his unreliable disciple had gone off to sightsee with his crush. If he knew … he probably wouldn't have been surprised.
