Chapter 105

At the end of that year, winter seemed to come very late. It wasn’t until mid-December that the first snow in winter fell, gently and finely.

“Feili, the moon tonight is beautiful. Do you want to see it? I know you always like to watch the moon. Although it’s snowing outside, it doesn’t matter. I won’t let it freeze you.” 

Beitang Ao smiled, took a big fur coat, and carefully dressed it for Yan Feili. Then he gently picked him up, came to the courtyard, and sat down in the warm pavilion.

The scene was most beautiful at this time. The white and silver snow was bright and soft, exuding elegant charm.

Beitang Ao said softly, “The first time I saw you, it was also on such a night. The moon was round and bright that night, and the weather was equally cold. You rushed up from behind the mountainside on a horse with a long sword in your hand, a black uniform, heroic, tall, and handsome. At the time, I didn’t know where you came from and planned to chase down the idiot who got a share of Emperor Jian. But seeing you, I feel a little surprised. Then you got off the horse, walked in front of me, and looked straight at me…”

Beitang Ao helped Yan Feili wrap the thick and soft fur, leaning against the warm couch, and hugged him tighter. 

“It was the first time I saw you. Others have never looked at me with such eyes. Very clean and clear. And so frank, so direct, as if there was a kind of flame jumping. At that time, I thought, a guy who would look at me with such eyes must stay by my side.”

Beitang Ao chuckled a bit.

“P ujnf atf Aljc Swqfgbg ab sbe. Ktfc sbe abbx j rkbgv jcv xliifv tlw. Pa rffwfv atja sbe vlv cba mbwf ab fcpbs Ujc Tef’r gfnfcuf, cbg ab oluta obg qbkfg, yea ab xlii tlw… Rfza, sbe rabbv atfgf yijcxis, lc j vjhf, sbe vlvc’a xcbk ktb P kjr atja rajcv yfobgf sbe, yea sbe tjv cb vfofcrf ja jii… P ibbxfv ja sbeg qgbolif jcv atbeuta ab wsrfio, ‘Ktlr ues lr lcafgfralcu, jcv tlr nlulijcmf lr cba abb yjv. Lf wera tjnf tjv agjlclcu lc atf jgfcj?'”

“At that time, the sword in my hand, as long as I swipe it lightly, you will not leave any traces in this world. But it was quite strange. I didn’t even turn this thought. Then, you turned around and looked at me. The look in your eyes… I will never forget.”

Outside the warm pavilion, snow fell, moonlight shines, and silver sheen was everywhere.

Beitang Ao looked confused and plunged into distant memories.

“I asked if you would like to go with me, and you agreed without hesitation. You were the leader of Pan Jun, with so many brothers, it was better to find a foothold in the troubled times than to subdue others. But you agreed so happy that I had to doubt your intentions for a while… I made you swear that you will live to follow me, and you will never betray me. You do not hesitate to follow suit.”

“Then, I took you back to Tienmen and broke the rules. Many people refused to accept and tried to find you troubles. I knew of their schemes, but I turn a blind eye to see how you solve them… I did not expect that you weren’t troubled, and in half a year, you convinced them. You are mild-tempered, popular, and you can easily mingle with others. But to avoid suspicion, you have to slowly alienate your original brother… For many years, you have never been genuine with anyone, carefully keeping a distance from everyone and just following me wholeheartedly. 

“In the beginning, I would wonder why you were willing to give up so much. However, I gradually got used to it and took you for granted. Thinking about it now, I was dull and stubborn.”

The cold wind blows snows that fluttered over. They hit the tent of the warm pavilion, causing a slight movement. But the warmth in the pavilion was not affected. The wind was floating, faint, like a human sigh.

Beitang Ao stretched out his hand to touch Yan Feili’s eyebrows. His eyes showed tenderness, and he lowered his head and kissed Yan Feili’s temple tenderly.

“Feili, why do you fall in love with me? You know, I am a person who is indifferent, cold and doesn’t care about anyone. I am not good-looking, don’t like women, and naturally don’t like men. There are many in this world, and I can’t care about anything.” 

“But I fell in love with you like this. It is destined…”

“In the Demon Forest that day, I was not afraid of whatever poison I got, but they chose to use a love potion. I was unconscious and didn’t know how much it hurt you. I still remember the blood on the grass, which was shocking. But you didn’t complain at all… I know you were wronged. When this happened, I think you didn’t say it, but you must have minded it in your heart. I went to the Ming Kingdom and left you in Jianjing. I knew you didn’t want to go and I didn’t take you with me. I treated you with an indifferent attitude at the time. Did you blame me? Have you ever blamed me?”

The man in his arms was calm, his eyelashes trembling lightly. It seemed that his dream was deep, and he didn’t bother the troubled world.

Beitang Ao sighed and said softly, “Everything I did something, you didn’t blame me. I took Li’er away, and you didn’t complain. I married Lin Yanyan, and you didn’t show your dissatisfaction. How can you be so tolerant of me?” 

“Oh! I don’t know when you have become so important. Before I found out, I had left the business behind and rushed to the battlefield against the Yue and Jian Kingdoms. At that time, I only vaguely understood my mind, but I always find it very impossible.”

Beitang Ao stroked Yan Feili’s thin lips, and the kiss could not help but fall in the above.

“I love you! I am in love with a man! And thank the gods, that man is you! I am really lucky, Feili. Feili…” Beitang Ao murmured with a light voice like a long sigh, “I will not let you go. We are together and will never be separated…”

A tear of joy like a long whisper fell from the pale face. It was melancholy. 

Beitang Ao bowed his head with the tip of his tongue lightly pointed and rolled this precious tear between each other’s lips and teeth…
