128 Not Tired at All (2/2)

”Oh. I think I do. I'm still a little tired though. Did I miss out on something?” Yun Bei Fen finally looked around and noticed that people were staring at them. He hid back into Mei Chao Bing's arms and blinked his eyes in confusion. ”What's going on?”

Mei Chao Bing rubbed his back and shook his head. ”Nothing. Everybody is waiting for the Elders. I guess they saw you running over so suddenly and thought that you had some kind of news to bring.”

Yun Bei Fen's eyes widened and he shook his head. ”I don't have any news. I didn't even see my Master when I went out.”

”I guess then there's no reason to continue looking.” He pulled Yun Bei Fen closer into his arms and turned away from Yang Wu Huang, not bothering to continue the previous 'conversation'.

Anyway, if he could keep all this conflict away from Yun Bei Fen, then he would do so. Maybe that was wrong. Maybe he was being exactly like Elder Baili before and not letting him experience things. But while he felt that Yun Bei Fen should become acquainted with the ways of the demonic practitioners, he couldn't bring himself to want him to be embroiled in these conflicts of the righteous faction.

That … It just wasn't something he wanted for him. Because these conflicts were even worse. Nobody would die but it didn't mean that nobody would get destroyed. Sometimes, that kind of thing was worse to see.

Yun Bei Fen didn't notice that anything was off at all and just continued to cling to Mei Chao Bing, rubbing his head on his chest. Even though he would have liked it much more to stay in bed and cuddle there, this was also nice. ”Where do you think my Master went?”

”Maybe he was at Elder Xing's place to discuss some matters. Who knows if the other groups have brought anything back? There could be some new hints that were retrieved and they consider making some announcement and are still talking it through right now to make sure that is the best option.”

Yun Bei Fen nodded and then kept quiet. After a moment, his breath evened out and his whole weight pressed against Mei Chao Bing's body.

Mei Chao Bing raised his brows and peeked at his face, noticing that his little bunny had closed his eyes and fallen asleep again. So much for being alright now. Obviously, he was still very tired and had only leaped out of bed because he had noticed that he was alone. Well, as long as the Elders weren't there yet, it wasn't a problem.

He just brushed through his hair again, rubbed his back and then continued to hold him. If he wanted to sleep, he might as well. In the meantime, he would be there to protect him.
