First Color – Red  

June, Southern part of Hangzhou.

Though this was summer down in the south, but the surrounded by beautiful lakes and rivers City of Kuaiji was not giving off the same unbearable dry and burning hot feeling as in the Capital.

Two gorgeous figures were sitting upright, face to face, on the second floor of the finest restaurant in the city. Albeit their upright posture, the air around them was not tense at all, on the contrary, there was this calm and warm atmosphere surrounding the two, making whoever couldn't restrain their eyes to keep on wandering to their direction. ---Their upright posture seemed like giving out an air of nobility.

Due to Jing's suggestion, abandoning the whole court and dumping them on the poor, no, he was hardworking and loyal, the Nation's second in command, Duke Tong Xin, also happened to be the Emperor's twin. Lu Cang put aside his worry for the sour faced courtiers and decided he might as well enjoy the company of his lover who had come all the way from the North to the South only for him.

Though sometimes annoyed by Jing's overly clingy behaviour ---Jing shamelessly circled his hand whether on Lu Cang's waist or on his shoulder without any concern, yet he still couldn't ignore the overwhelming happiness he secretly felt in his heart for the chance to monopolize this national treasure, the magnificent Emperor of Datong, His Majestic Emperor Jing Zong, Xuan Yuan Jing.

Jing insisted they should travel leisurely on the land instead of on board a luxury boat like how he used to whenever he visited Jiangnan, ---they didn't even ride on horse or carriage, just walked leisurely all the way from Hangzhou to Kuaiji. All the way from Hangzhou to Kuaiji, Jing seemed to enjoy himself very much. His beautiful as the divinity visage had been brimming with smiles every time he looked at Lu Cang. Once in a while, he would steal a kiss and caught Lu Cang off guard.

"Jing! Don't be like this, there are people looking......" Currently, His Majesty's sacred right foot was playfully teased his ex-mountain bandit king under the table.

Rolling his eyes, Jing made a 'why-should-I-care' face.

"Why do you have to mind the strangers when you didn't mind being seen by your Brothers?" Lu Cang's face flushed red at once upon Jing's rude remark. It was at the spurof the moment when he was unspeakably touched by Jing's unexpected appearance. If not because of that, how could Lu Cang, who always loved his reputation more than anything, allow himself to act with no sense of shame, ---intimately kissed each other with his same sex lover, in front of his brothers nonetheless.

"That...... That ......" Flustered by Jing's words, Lu Cang failed to find the correct line to defend himself.

Damn this man! Lu Cang could only curse inwardly after the words failed him.

"Anyhow, since we have come to this Kuaiji, let's drink to our hearts content. This place is famous for its wine."

Didn't want to waste their precious time together with such useless arguing, Jing swiftly changed the subject.

They arrived at the City of Kuaiji just several hours ago. After they settled in the best inn in town, they found the best restaurant in the city to fill their stomachs. And as usual, Lu Cang chose the facing the street, next to the window on the second floor table.
