COSMIC SERENDIPITY

Chapter- 26 (CONTENTMENT- PART FOUR)

'Wei-gongzi, are you okay?' Xiao XingChen was the first one to ask him as he was nursing his ears.

'I am fine, Shishu. It's just that, I am a bit startled. ' Wei Ying answered, still trying to figure out something in his mind.

'What do you think about all those sounds?' Wen Ruohan was the next one to ask after a long silence.

'They sound pretty horrible.' Wen Chao replied in a whining tone while still trying to nurse his ears.

'Thank you for stating the obvious, Mr. Genius.' His father replied back in a sarcastic tone, completely shutting him off. Wen Chao kept grumbling under his breath at the clear show of favoritism, but it's not like he could change it.

Wei Ying, on the other hand, had been sitting in silence till now. When he slightly raised his head, he saw the expectant eyes of everybody on him. Sighing tiredly as if those sounds took away what little energy he had, he said, 'Look, I don't know much about them because they surprised me too. But as much as I can discern, they are the side effects of practicing resentful energy. (When everyone continued giving him looks) What? You did not think that demonic cultivation came without its own dangers, right?'

'Of course, we know that it has dangers. But what we want to know is what exactly are those sounds?' Lan QiRen quipped in.

'Well... then I do have some ideas, but let's see if they explain it in the simulation. If not, then I will tell you.' Wei Ying replied, and they all sat back relaxing for a short while. A bunch of snacks appeared, and almost everyone digged in, even the Lans, except Lan SiZhui, who got up from his seat and addressed the room at large, 'Ummm... excuse me, I needed to talk to Jin Ling about an event from our timeline privately. I hope you all don't mind.

'Of course not. Go ahead. I am sure it's very important and you can't discuss it in front of us. So go ahead.' YanLi gave them permission, and off they went.

JingYi and ZiZhen looked at each with frowns marring their faces and kept thinking, 'What's with all the secrecy? They did not even call us.'

In the junior's room

As soon as they entered the room, SiZhui took Jin Ling by surprise and pinned him on the wall beside the door, pulling his lips into a deep bruising kiss. Jin Ling, surprised by the sudden kiss, was unable to respond at first. It was only when he felt SiZhui's desperate touches to make sure he was okay that Jin Ling began reciprocating it with just as much passion. A while later, they finally broke apart and took a long breath while putting their foreheads together and inhaling each other.

'A-Ling, why have you never told me about Xinglu Ridge? I do respect your privacy, but I thought we had a clear discussion about not hiding injuries, past, present, and even future, and you agreed. So what is all this I am seeing now? I don't even know if you were okay or not there. 'SiZhui reprimanded him in a stern voice.

He knew it was an unreasonable request to know about someone's past of which he wasn't even a part of. But, he was wary. It's not his fault that he tended to lose family since a young age. Earlier, he might have no memories of his days as Wen Yuan. But the feeling of abandonment and separation was still there. He just couldn't help it, and Jin Ling understood it well. So, he took SiZhui by his hand and made him sit on the bed while placing himself on his A-Yuan's lap.

He caressed SiZhui's face without saying anything. Removing the frowns from his forehead, Jin Ling kissed him between the brows and said in a very tender voice, 'A-Yuan, let me be very honest. Things are going down south after this in the next part. But you have to remember that I am fine and sitting in my favorite seat while kissing you right now.'
