[2ha x genderfluid reader] The Husky And The White Cat Shizun With Their Baobei

Chapter 10

Warning: Mention of Erotic Drawings

  Red Lotus Pavilion. Some would refer to it as Red Lotus Hell. The more practical moniker for it is Broken Leg Waterside Pavilion. But with the widespread claim that "those who had come out either had their arms or legs broken," the tales were definitely exaggerated. In addition to ignoring the accusations, you also never really cared to put an end to them. Although Shizun's punishment was occasionally severe, you are aware that it was done with the best of intentions. Chu Wanning and you are the only people in this world who truly understand his ideals and values. How come, after so those trips, your arms and legs haven't broken out if the claims are actually true?

You were the only disciple eager to go to Chu Wanning every day out of all the others. Chu Wanning didn't seem to mind your presence as time went on. You didn't mind taking on extra chores like housecleaning and occasionally even Chu Wanning's laundry. The laundry portion indicated that things were becoming better in your relationship. It indicates, after all, that he confides in you with his small personal items. For the first few trips, all you do is tidy the space and observe attentively from a distance as Chu Wanning creates 'Merch' out of the disorganized heap of metal bits.

You turned back to look at the bed. On top of the bed there used to be a collection of tools, saws, axes, files, and so on, all of which shined coldly and were unbelievably sharp. Everything was on the floor the next time you saw those tools. Shizun seems to have actually paid attention to what you had said. Naturally, scattering everything on the floor won't work either, so you had to locate a variety of empty boxes to hold the belongings. Sorting every thing into its own category rather than just piling them one on top of the other at random.

Your efforts have made Shizun's room appear more organized. Aside from the still disorganized heap of metal components, since Shizun would require it. It will take a while to sort through those metal components, but Shizun seems to be content with the disorganized mess. A sound shattered the rather serene atmosphere: "Disciple Mo Ran greets Master."

--

The large numbers of individuals entering and leaving Meng Po Lobby. You entered Meng Po Lobby with Shizun by your side, took a lacquered wooden tray filled with a few dishes, and sat in a corner in silence. "You don't have to sit next to me against your will. You ought to associate with people on your own level." Shizun would occasionally asked you this out of nature. Still, your response will always remained succinct and straightforward: "I just want to spend more time with my Shizun." That would have been the regular course of events if Mo Ran hadn't joined in.

It didn't take a fool to figure out that Mo Ran is purposefully annoying Chu Wanning by loudly smacking his lips while chowing down on the sour and sweet pork. The two's arguments became more and more audible. Already, a few disciples were glancing at them. As you were only a bystander to their argument, it was difficult for you too. The only thing you could do was to kick Mo Ran in the shin as a warning from under the table. Mo Ran finally calmed down and huffed in annoyance.

Chu Wanning's appetite had vanished, though. Getting up, he declared, "I'm full." He was obviously not full because it is impossible for someone to be satisfied after eating so little. Mo Ran was undeserving of Chu Wanning's state of starvation. Raising yourself from your chair, you intended to go with Chu Wanning. You were about to move when Mo Ran suddenly grabbed your wrist and said, "You didn't even finish with your own food, finish it before you leave." Mo Ran touched you voluntarily for the first time in a long time with this. Has he finally forgiven you? Chu Wanning was standing there, seemingly waiting for you to decide between Mo Ran and him. You retreated from Mo Ran's hold and dutifully trailed Chu Wanning.

Seeing that Mo Ran is all alone, Mo Ran decided to stop eating and follow as well.

--

The three of you were standing in front of the library of Red Lotus Pavilion. When Chu Wanning instructed Mo Ran to register all those books after wiping them, he thought he had misheard. Mo Ran stared at the fifty rows of ten high bookcases. The deadline is early tomorrow morning. Chu Wanning usually gave you a deadline that was longer than this one. Perhaps you said those words out of sympathy: "Shizun, I'll stay to make sure that Mo Ran will follow your instructions."

It was easy. Mo Ran faces consequences if he disobeys his orders. You didn't need to become involved at all.

Chu Wanning is aware of that. Chu Wanning is also aware that you have to have a good reason before bringing it up, yet the bitter feeling persists. "If that's what you wish for, then do it." And with that, he was gone.

The rows of worn books and Mo Ran were all by yourself. You saw Mo Ran glaring at Chu Wanning, the passing figure, as though that would make things better. In order to perform a powerful spell that would enable you to quickly and efficiently clean all the books at once, you intended to take out Xian'ye, your holy fan. Your spiritual power mostly comes from Xian'ye; without it, you could only perform very minor spells. You rarely utilize the medium skills without your holy weapon since they use nearly all of your physical spiritual power. It will take too long for little spells to clear everything.

Until you remembered that in this room, Chu Wanning would be able to sense your spells. Thus, you ultimately abandoned that notion. "Shixiong," Mo Ran's pathetic voice said. You responded with a hum.

Mo Ran: "I have an appointment with Shi Mei, so I was hoping that you can..."

You nearly felt like scoffing as you turned down his request. "Shidi, it would only take a few seconds for Shizun to find out if you left this place." Mo Ran groaned in disappointment, but then he got an idea and a grin appeared on his lips. He selected a couple of recently published books and a bamboo charcoal pencil that was lying in the vicinity, then he started sketching in the book. You can tell by his expression that it wasn't anything good.

You: "You are aware that writing and drawing are not permitted on those books, Shidi."

Mo Ran continued to draw in spite of that statement.

Mo Ran: "Yes, but how would Shizun know about it? Shizun is not capable of reading every book because there are so many of them."

To get a better look at the drawing, you leaned in closer. Catching a peek of the seductively detailed designs. The illustration of two men around one another while having sex and sharing a tongue kiss. He even has the gall to record the conversations, leaving one of the men seeming meek and pleading for the other to push harder. Additionally, he portrayed a man performing the mating press on a woman as the drawn dick was pressing firmly inside of her and included intricately drawn body fluid on the portion of the dick that wasn't quite in. There were so many sultry drawings that you didn't even want to look at them closely.

Your flush was beginning to show on you already.

Mo Ran: "You know what? Is Shixiong aware that these types of things exist? Which position among these is Shixiong's favorite?"

Although you are aware that Mo Ran is deliberately unsettling you, you can't deny that it was effective.

"There's someone getting close." You heard Xian'ye's voice in your head. Since you needed to take your mind off those sensual paintings, you expressed your gratitude in silence. Shi Mei arrived and saw Mo Ran acting irrationally.

Shi Mei: "What are you doing, Mo Ran? Why are you here, Shidi y/n?"

Hopefully, Shi Mei doesn't misinterpret the situation by believing that you were involved in Mo Ran's scheme to illustrate pornographic material for the publications. Mo Ran is in disbelief-he never even imagined Shi Mei would be here. He sat up instantly and quickly covered the erotic drawings. He seemed to be pretending to be innocent and remarked, "Wiping the floor, nothing."

That was the silliest excuse you have ever heard. "Wiping the floor using your clothes?" Shi Mei asked, holding back his amusement as he quickly saw right through that.

You uttered the words "Shixiong Shi Mei, you should be asleep by now. It's getting close to midnight." before Mo Ran could even reply.

Shi Mei: "Don't worry, I heard from a disciple that you two are over here. And I have nothing to do. So I went to have a look."

[When he saw that you had chosen him over his disciple, he smiled a little, but it vanished when he saw both you and Mo Ran approaching him]
