Curse Or Cure?

I Was Made For Lovin' You

"Because I'm scared"

Wen Kexing was aware that maybe his infatuation with Zhou Zishu was a bit unfair. He loved the man, this he knew, since the first day that they met. The moment he caught a glimpse of him, a cold beauty that met his gaze in a brothel, that caught him when he tripped, that stopped walking away when he called out, that agreed to stay another night just for the sake of indulging Wen Kexing at the market, that bought his precious hairpin and kissed him back, touched him sensually and worshipped his body like he thought he would never get to experience.

Wen Kexing fell in love with a man that he did not catch, but that had allowed himself to be caught. And maybe that was the problem.

"You want more than I feel like I can give."

Wen Kexing rubbed at his eyes, mindful of the pressure, before opening them once more and setting his gaze upon the sleeping Zhang Chengling.

He was now Zhou Zishu's disciple.

After the Hero Conference, he will leave with Zhou Zishu. 

Zhou Zishu wants him to follow.

But hasn't Wen Kexing intruded enough?

"What's going on in that head of yours?" Zhou Zishu's quiet whisper drew Wen Kexing's attention like a moth to a flame.

"Nothing," Wen Kexing lied. Of course, Zhou Zishu did not believe it and of course, the stubborn fool would not let it go.

Fingers trailed over his jaw, before lightly gripping it and turning Wen Kexing's head towards the owner, Zhou Zishu's face illuminated by both moonlight and fire was a sight unmatched. Wen Kexing watched the furrow of brows, the scanning of eyes, the pursing of lips, and the flare of a nose.

"Lao Wen, what ails you?" 

"I was just thinking about Xie Wang, that's all," Wen Kexing answered, and though it was not the truth, it was something that had been clawing at the back of his head for some hours now.

"Xie Wang?" Zhou Zishu raised an eyebrow, releasing Wen Kexing's jaw, "The Scorpion King? Why is he in your thoughts?"

Wen Kexing smiled playfully at him, "Is this husband jealous that his wife thinks of another man?"

"How unbecoming of this wife for doing so," Zhou Zishu deadpanned, looking unimpressed with Wen Kexing's deflecting, "Is there no loyalty anymore? Has this wife tired of his husband?"

Wen Kexing smiled more gently at that, "This wife could never."

Zhou Zishu's gaze softened for a moment.

"You move too fast for me."

Wen Kexing cleared his throat, "I was just curious what his motive was for... for watching me is all."

Zhou Zishu's eyes darkened, much to Wen Kexing's surprise.

"Honestly, I thought you were shameless but he takes it to a whole new level," Zhou Zishu scoffed out, "To watch you like that, especially during such an intimate moment, let's be glad he just looked and not invited himself in for more. He looks but he did not touch."
