A Gentle Torment

Reconciled On Mount Junji

"Da Ge," Ye Hua starts the moment he lands.

However, Mo Yuan is left seeing red from rage. If in another life, perhaps Ye Hua's desire to rush things could be catastrophic. 

Grabbing onto his collar, he firmly and wordlessly shoves him against the wooden door of the small hut, growling lowly. He's lost his semblance of calm, but to be torn from their fox so shortly after reuniting was all too cruel of Ye Hua.

"You should know better by now, Didi." His voice is dangerous -- he might even step as far as to fight him if he had to. 

He hasn't been so furious and enraged in so long, yet as if a barrel of ice water was poured over him, Bai Qian's worried voice summons him from inside.

"Shifu?"

Mo Yuan pushes Ye Hua away from the door, maintaining enough sanity to make sure he doesn't push him towards the stairs leading up to the small porch before swinging the door open and quickly making his way inside. 

He finds her half-sitting up, with one arm resting against a pillow while the back of her free hand pats away sleep from her eyes. She's in only a thin gown, but the blankets she's sleeping under are thick and the nearby furnace is lit.

Nearly oozing with relief, the Lord of Kunlun Mountain walks up to her and quickly pins her to the bed. Met with no resistance, the crushing kiss that follows leaves Bai Qian grateful that she chose to remain in bed.

Her knees feel weak and her chest feels as if it could burst out of her ribs. When he pulls away to meet her eyes and look her over once more, she can't help her confusion.

"Shifu, you..."

"Let me hold you," His voice is strained as he presses her further into the bed gently. With her wrists pinned above her shoulders, she doesn't even want to put up any resistance.

All she can think to do is nod before gently bumping her nose against his jawline in a show of submission.

He and Ye Hua need to have a very long, very serious discussion about their own boundaries regarding her. For now, however, he only wanted to keep her as close as possible.

"Shifu..." Leaning further upward, she rubs her cheek along his jawline as well before uttering words that leave his heart aching, "Seventeen misses you."
