Word Of Honesty

[04] Encounters A Beautiful Bandit

Tonight, on a cramp bed, two grown-up men slept together. Zhou Zishu slept on the inside while Wen Kexing slept on the outside. The tiny space of the bed made the former leader of Tian Chuang have a problem with sleeping.

Especially, when there was a big man hugging him from behind.

Zhou Zishu sighed.

"Ah Xu, can't sleep?" Wen Kexing asked near the man's ear when he felt the movement from the other.

Zhou Zishu sighed again and turned around to face that handsome face. "Lao Wen..."

Wen Kexing grinned. "Why? Does Ah Xu want a good night kiss?"

Zhou Zishu pushed the other's face away and complained, "who wants your kiss? I'm hot and I can't sleep like this."

"Ah... Is that so? Then, I'll just lie down." True to his words, Wen Kexing removed his hands from the man's slim waist and said gently, "Is this okay now?"

Zhou Zishu didn't feel that restricted anymore. He didn't mind sleeping together if the bed was huge and there was a lot of space but this bed was too small for two adult men.

And, tonight was especially hot.

"Mm... It's fine now." Zhou Zishu yawned. He was very tired and just wanted to sleep. As he was about to close his eyes, he felt a soft kiss on his forehead.

"Good night, Ah Xu."

"Night, Lao Wen."

They slept very well that night after that. As usual, Wen Kexing was the first person who woke up and got ready for their travel. When Zhou Zishu finally woke up from his sleep, he saw a tray of hot breakfast on the table and the man was nowhere to be seen.

"Lao Wen?" Zhou Zishu called out as he sat on the bed.

There was no answer and he finally got up from the bed. Looking to the side, he saw a basin of warm water, a clean cloth and a new set of fresh robes. Washing his face, he then patted it dry using the clean cloth.

Afterwards, he changed his clothes and stuff the dirty clothes inside the bag for dirty clothes. Then, he tidied the messy bed before he sat down on the chair and faced the food.

The breakfast was rice porridge with hot tea. His wine gourd was on the table too. Zhou Zishu picked up the wine gourd and found out it was full. He was about to drink it but a voice stopped him.

"Ah Xu, what did I say about no drinking wine on empty stomach?"

Zhou Zishu glanced at the door and frowned. "Where did you go?"

Wen Kexing smiled and took a seat opposite the frowning man. "Ah, did my Ah Xu just miss me?"

"Cut the crap. Lao Wen, where did you go?" Zhou Zishu was used to seeing Wen Kexing everytime he woke up. So, not seeing the man's face this morning, dampened his mood. He knew it deep inside himself that he depended on Wen Kexing too much but he couldn't help himself.

Zhou Zishu felt annoyed with himself, feeling he was like a wife interrogating her unfaithful husband.

Seeing the other man's eyebrow ticking with irritation, Wen Kexing didn't tally and told him. "Last night, when I went to request hot water, the owner and his son talked about the bandit and told us to be careful. So, I just went to ask about it."

"Bandit?" Zhou Zishu frowned. "There's a bandit around this area?"

"Hm.. But, what puzzled the owner was their inn never got robbed." Wen Kexing smiled. "Maybe, they're philanthropist and they didn't rob the poor people. A kindness in giving creates love[1]."
