Close Encounter

     Like a diligent wife I mean husband Shen Wei always change the bandage off Yunlan everyday.

     Until the day they can go again to another region for they are not safe anymore if they stayed with Chu, for theirs gonna be a war. That time Tang Empire trying to unite his province into one country. To make it stronger. And that country would be called China one day. As they left with the clan of Assassin and bid farewell to Chu and prince Guo.  "What would you think will happen to them?" Said Yunlan as he lean his head to his husband whose driving the carriage. "I don't know? At least they have each other now! Just like us!" As he kiss Yunlan on the forehead.

     Minute pass as they camp to a nearby village. While Yunlan and the other were sleeping. Yezun talk to his brother. "Are you sure you don't want to be back in our clan just to be safe! Until Yunlan's father forget you two!" As Shen Wei shake his head, "Then it means I will be an assassin again, I don't want my wife getting worried all the time! I had promised to him." Suddenly someone shout fire. As they all wake up but not Yunlan for the medicine his drinking for his pain killer for his wound on his back is making him sleep soundly. They saw the fire was in the base of Chu. "So, the war began!" Said Shen Wei, "We cannot participate on that for we need the clan to be unseen and safe from our enemies." As Da quing looked at him, "You mean we cannot help prince Guo on this?!" Shen Wei shake his head. "No we cannot, assassin live in shadow we cannot expose our selves to the outside, that's our life." Yezun sadly say. While they all looked at it, Shen Wei went to his husband sleeping form. "Where lucky we got out of there in time or we will be entangled on their war." As he snuggle into Yunlan, Yunlan automatic embrace Shen Wei and kiss his head. As they sleep soundly that night.

     In the morning Shen Wei, Yunlan and the others stayed in a small village and bought a small cottage with two rooms, to where they will live. Da quing and Yezun parted ways again not before Yezun kiss him passionately, just to remind him, he belongs to him.

     As Shen Wei carefully laid Yunlan on the bed. "Tomorrow! Will be a new start for us!"Said Shen Wei. "Yes! And I will cook to all of You! "Said Yunlan. Shen Wei suddenly sweat. "Ha...ha...my dear wife, your still not well I'll do it for you! Just rest for a while." As he suddenly dash toward the kitchen leaving Yunlan confuse.

     Lunch came, as they were eating.
"My dear husband don't you want me to cook something for you?" Yunlan suggest. Suddenly everybody dropped their chopsticks.
"I told you, you don't need to do it, I'll be cooking while you would be resting here. As Shen Wei smile. Making everybody relief on that. Yunlan notice that.

     When night came, Yunlan is sulking on the other side of his bed, "Yunlan what's wrong?" His husband ask. "Nothing as he don't want to see Shen Wei. Shen Wei just embrace him at the back and sleep.

     As morning came, they all need to work while Yunlan rest for a while as  Shen Wei cook a meal for Yunlan so he can be comfortable while resting. As Shen Wei about to leave, Yunlan never looked at him nor kissed him goodbye. "Is he mad about you again?" Da quing ask. Shen Wei just sigh. As they ride their carriage and leave for they'll be putting a new store in the city.

     A minute pass, as Yunlan is bored, he went outside just to check his garden while having his cloak for it's very cold in the morning, he didn't notice Tang soldiers came as one of them ask for direction. Yunlan swallowed hard, as he cover himself with the cloak he imitates a woman voice, "Sorry but I'm new here!" As he bat his eyes on the soldier but suddenly Sang came. "Your pretty tall for a woman?" Yunlan sweat a little, "Must be in the genes!" He laugh. As Sang examine Yunlan for a little and they left. Yunlan suddenly dashed to his house and lock it. He didn't know he held his breath until he got inside. Shen Wei will be mad if he knows, he gone outside. "Oh! No! Shen Wei they might see them!" As Yunlan got his horse and ride hurriedly to the city, he made a shortcut so that he might be the first to come than the soldiers.

     As he came to the city, he tried to find Shen Wei, "Were could  they be!" As he ride his horse, then he saw the soldiers. *Bleep* They're coming close here. As he ride the other way around and found them. They were just opening the tent, as Yunlan came. Shen Wei was surprised why Yunlan is here, his wounds is still not much heal. As Yunlan suddenly close the tent and shut up Shen Wei's mouth by his hand. Suddenly the soldiers came with Sang, as they pass by the close carriage and went away. As Yunlan can breath again while he taken off his hands to Shen Wei. Without warning Shen Wei suddenly kiss him and thanks, without him, Sang may already captured them. "Where are the others?" He ask. "They are buying fruits for you in the market, I hope they didn't encounter the Tang soldier." But suddenly Yunlan's back ache for he still didn't drink his medicine this morning. Shen Wei write a letter for Da quing that he will take Yunlan back to the house and come back again. As they take a peek if there's a soldiers luckily there's none and went to ride the horse to get back home.
