faraway wanderers/Word Of Honor [ Oneshots ] -Wenzhou-

Sincere?

At Puppet Manor,

Zhou zishu was astonished not because little tyke's moves were astonishing but because he was looking like a dying pig rolling on the ground; so ungraceful and embarrassing.
As if he couldn't look at him anymore as shifted his eyes just to find wen kexing humming and chopping vegetables with a faint smile.

Zhou zishu was surprised,
The Valley master was smiling while cutting vegetables isn't that strange.
' well, he was strange to began with ' he thought
'Shouldn't he be crying? Isn't that an onion?'
He found it interesting and kept observing at him.

' hmm... his smile doesn't look fake, is he that happy? '

Manor Lord Zhou is baffled as to why the other person kept following them.So persistent. If he wanted that little tyke dead, he would have done it by now. But look what he's doing; making dinner for them. Isn't it too tragic?

He found Wen kexing to be very annoying, always bickering with him , not a single day went peaceful by his side and talk about how shameless he is. Zhou Zishu scoffed while shaking his head, as he continued to stare at him. His life had become chaotic after meeting him,
but he couldn't deny if the other won't be around he would feel a little...... lonely.

They were just strangers who met by chance, and they'll part ways soon. That's how it should be... right?

Even if he wanted to know more about him, there is no way he would tell him.
Wen Kexing was after something, and he was waiting for the right moment. How his expressions changed when they were talking to Long Que and how much angry he got at Ye Baiyi. Zhou Zishu had noticed everything. He sighed internally.

'I really can't tell what you are thinking'

He remembered how wen kexing had asked Long Que if there was a way to repair meridians.

His eyes softened as he continued to stare at him.

'Are you... sincere?'

A foreign emotion came over him. Wen kexing has always confused him. He can't tell if he's genuine or not.
Zhou Zishu knew the wall he had built over the years had started to crumble. He couldn't forget how Wen kexing held him that night when his nails were rattling, giving him his warmth. For the first time in his entire life, he felt that someone was there for him to hold him in pain.

'There's nothing good about him , always adding troubles, bothering me, shameless as he is. Even if he's like this ... I think I can.. tolerate him'

'If he's genuine, then, I can.....'

As if he was reminded of something unpleasant, he brought his hand up to rub his chest slightly. He sighed and laughed at himself, mockingly.
Yeah what can he do ? Be with him ? Travel with him and little tyke? live a good life by their side?

'Desires; that's what hurts the people the most' He sighed

At first he thought about traveling alone drinking down the remaining years of his life
But now,look; what kind of thoughts he's having.

Isn't it.... Sad?

"Ah-xu, why are you looking at me like that? Are you that hungry?" said Wen Kexing with a lecherous smile.

Just like that, Zhou Zishu returned to reality as his eyes twitched, as he knew what the other was implying.

"You know, you can just tell me when you want it."

Zhou Zishu eliminated all his thoughts as he said with an expressionless face.

"Apologies, valley master, I'm afraid that this begger might get constipated."

"You won't know unless you try it. I can definitely satisfy you".

Zhang Chengling relaxed a little, knowing that once both of them started bickering, there was no stopping them, and they'd eventually forget about him for the time being. A smile appeared on his face, but it didn't last long.
A rock was thrown in his direction. He dodged it clumsily while landing on his butt.

" Who told you to slack off ?"

" Shi..."

" Shut up and get your ass up "

Zhang chengling stood abruptly
"Shifu i was... Was... "

"Was what? 500 laps , Now "

"Ah-xu, how can you be so evil " said wen kexing dramatically " little tyke come here and help me"

At this point, Zhang Chengling noticed a halo surrounding Wen Kexing 'this senior is an angel' and was about to go to him but he heard a bone-chilling voice.

" Dare to listen to him?"
He froze as he heard his shifu
"Dear, relax a bit. I need a hand. Aren't you hungry? Or are you willing to give me a hand? "

Gritting his teeth Zhou Zishu allowed Zhang Chengling to help.

Pointing at Zhang chengling Wen kexing said" Little tyke go slaughter the chicken"

Freezing Zhang chengling looked at the chicken chuckling wildly off the side, then pointed at himself and asked, " senior,me?... Slaughter it?"

Humoured, Wen kexing said, "Can it slaughter you? Hurry, the chicken has to go on the stove early, the taste will only sink in after a long simmer."
.

.
.
Zhou zishu squatted at the kitchen door with a stalk of dried grass sticking out of his mouth, watching him with much enjoyment

' Spending days like these are good enough 'he thought with a faint smile

Wen kexing stuck his foot out and poked him with the tip of his shoe, instructing " Cattle knife, go slaughter the chicken"
