Eternal Love of Dream: The Aftermath

What If? Part 2

Fengjiu opened her eyes to find herself in his arms.  She felt him playing with her hair.  His touch was real. His sandalwood scent was real. He was real.  She didn't know how she could bear to part from him again...

"You're awake?" He asked.  She looked up to see him pausing in reading his scroll.  His eyes were filled with such warmth that she rose and kissed him.

"What time is it?" She asked with a yawn, resting her head onto his chest again. She felt him kiss the top of her head.

"It's almost noon.  I wouldn't have thought someone as young as you would need so much sleep."

"I don't usually sleep this much. It's you who woke me up three times in the middle of night and once more this early morning." She grumbled into his chest.  After the last time, he had carried her to take a warm bath and soothe her aches. She had promptly fallen asleep the moment her head touched the pillow.

"Oh? I don't remember this."  He raised an eyebrow in mock seriousness before kissing her head again.  "Rest some more then. You'll need your energy for the next time."

She gave a hmpf into his chest. "Who said there will be a next time?"

The next thing she knew, she was on her back and his eyes glimmered purple looking down at her. "Fine, next time you won't have to use any energy.  You just have to lie there and let me lick you."

Fengjiu blushed a deep red.  She was already wet at his words.   She looked at his lips.  He bent down, the merest of touch that deepened as his tongue entered her, licking her softly. He was tortuously giving her a taste of what he was going to do later.

She whimpered in frustration when he reluctantly pulled up the blanket to cover her breasts.  "As much as I want to stay in bed with you all day, you need to practice the flute for the competition."

She looked up at him, shaking her head.  "I don't have to.  I know JiHeng will be the examiner and will play the qin according to her will of speed with a lot of changes to test my ability to keep in tune. I'll pre-judge the changes of the qin music by knowing her heartfelt wishes and perceiving her emotion and behavior."

He caressed her chin.  "Xiaobai, how do you know this?"

Fengjiu coughed.  He had told her in the other timeline...she smiled. "Xiaoyan, of course! He's being trained by JiHeng."

She realized she had sufficiently distracted him from her prescient knowledge, but unfortunately Donghua now looked very jealous.  There was a definite pout.  She smiled and caressed his jaw, her touch making him relaxed.

"Dijun, don't be jealous.  Xiaoyan is just a friend."

"Oh?" Donghua said with a hint of a smile. 

Fengjiu wanted to tell him she loved him so much, how could she like anyone else, but since they were to part soon, it wouldn't make sense for her to say such things.

"Xiaoyan is like a brother to me.  He's a very good friend who's trying to help me get the pimpon fruit." Fengjiu touched Donghua's lips and he kissed her fingers.  "Dijun, I never told you the real reason I wanted the fruit. In truth, it's to pay back a life debt.  A while back, when I was visiting the mortal world, a mortal died to save me.  Xie Guchou said that the fruit can be used to generate a immortal body.  So it's very important to me to win this competition."

Donghua caressed her chin. "You're so capable, of course you will win."

Fengjiu smiled at his confidence in her, relieved to have cleared this misunderstanding between them in this timeline.  Donghua wouldn't give Jiheng the fruit now that he knew how important it was to her. If she never went into the Dream of Aranya, he wouldn't have given up 90% of his cultivation to save her which made him more vulnerable to Miao Lou's attack. Once the competition was over and she was given the fruit, she would ask him to take her out of Fanyin Valley. Back in Qingqiu, Miao Lou wouldn't be able to take the blood tear from her. Maybe she could just enjoy these next few days with him before she had to part from him. Donghua wasn't for ceremonies and traditions, and wouldn't feel responsible for her just because they spent a couple of days together. He didn't want to marry her until they were in the Dream of Aranya.

She nuzzled his palm. "Thank you for training and helping me."

"Oh?" Donghua bent down and kissed her birthmark before caressing her nose.  "And how are you going to thank me?"

Fengjiu blushed.  She thought about it and then smiled brightly.  "I can make you sweets!"

Donghua got off her and sat leaning against the headboard, putting his hands behind his head.  "Oh? I'm Donghua Dijun, I'm not so easily bought."

Fengjiu bit her lip.  Maybe in this timeline he doesn't like sweets as much?

Donghua sneaked a look at her.  He cocked a brow and asked, "What kind of sweets?"

She smiled.  "You'll love it.  I make the best sweets.  I know you put up a protection ward but is it ok to leave it if you come with me? Just for a little bit? I just want to go to the market so I can get the ingredients to make you the sweets. But you have to promise to close your eyes while I'm in the shop and not look.  Promise?"

Donghua looked at her while she chatted. In front of others, she was always polite and well-behaved,  pretending to be elegant and experienced.  He didn't know what changed last night but he was utterly enchanted to see her no longer restrained with  him.  She was more comfortable, lively and carefree with him.  This was the real her.

"Dijun, do you promise?" She asked, hugging his arm and leaning her head on his shoulder, cuddling close to him.

Donghua kissed the top of her head. "I got it. Go with you to the market. Close my eyes. Don't look."

Fengjiu squeaked as he pushed her onto the bed again. Dijun tugged the blanket off her and his eyes glimmered purple. "Since we don't have to practice the flute, I'm certain there's time to lick you before we go to market."

"Dijun..." Fengjiu moaned as he trailed his lips down her body, spreading her thighs apart.  True to his words, she didn't have to do anything but lie there...
