The fated ones

Chapter 41

It was the next morning when they emerged from the room in search of sustenance. Even then, it was mostly feng jiu who required the food, sleep, and water for nourishment. The old rock could go centuries without any form of nutrition or sleep. So, she had to finally fake getting unconscious for him to let her up and out. Still, when she had gone to take a bath, he had followed behind like a tiger, on the hunt for his prey and the prey he had definitely gotten. So after another tryst in the bath, she finally dragged him towards the kitchen in search of food. Finding them fruits and basic preparations for breakfast, she made a small spread for them. for feng jiu, what had been a small spread was actually a long table fully laden with food of a large variety. Donghua had already seen this gluttonous side of hers before but it had been a long while since he got to experience it firsthand. He leaned on his hand as he watched feng jiu eat with enthusiasm and gusto. This love for food, he had only ever seen on her. Her dedication to food was unique and commendable. She fed others with as much love as she loved to eat herself.

When feng jiu turned to grab more food, she saw donghua leaning against his hand and watching her. Perplexed at why he was not eating himself, she wracked her brains until she remembered the promise, she had made him the other day to feed him whenever he wanted and whatever he wanted. She thought, he must want me to feed him and didn't know how to say it; he still struggles so much on asking for such small things. Feng jiu shook her head to herself as she smiled and got up from her side of the table to move to his'.

Donghua watched as feng jiu came to sit by his side. She picked up a honeyed apple slice from the table and brought it to his mouth, urging him to eat it. the reason behind her action was unknown to him but he didn't want her to stop so, he quietly ate it. As she went to pick up another slice, he picked her up and rearranged her small body into his lap. After he made sure she was comfortable, he opened his mouth indicating for her to keep feeding him. feng jiu continued to feed him but slowly heard her own stomach growl. Since she had not yet completed having her breakfast before she moved to feed him, she was still very much hungry.

She thought she was the only one to hear her stomach growl when in fact the opposite was true. Her stomach had growled so loud, donghua was sure, the lei niao's would have also heard it. amused, he also started to feed her. Though feng jiu was shocked at this turn in the situation, she never did turn away food, so she ate happily while she fed him.

As the breakfast came to an end, feng jiu fed donghua the last slice of the honeyed apple. Pulling her hand back, she saw the honey sticking to the top of her fingers and thinking nothing of it, she licked her fingers. Donghua was hyper-focused on her every move as he always had been whenever she was in the vicinity. His eyes traced the movement of her fingers from his mouth to hers, slowly licking away the honey on them. before she could retreat her fingers back, donghua captured her hand in a stronghold and bringing her fingers to his mouth, he kissed the top of her index finger, then the middle finger, ring finger and little finger. He went kissing and licking very inch of her fingers, leaving behind no trace of honey.

Feng jiu's heart was beating too fast under his careful ministrations. She watched as he slowly dragged up his head to look at her. Placing her hand on the back of his neck, he directed all his attention towards the small drop of honey that was left on the edge of her lips. His face moved forward with his lips attaching themselves on to the edge of her lips. her breathing was rampant as she struggled to control her moans that threatened to escape.

"donghua, I... I think it's clean now," she whispered.

Not letting her go, he sucked the skin harder into his mouth before pressing a tender kiss to it, as he said, "I don't think it is jiu'er. I think it is still very very dirty along with many other places on you." His eyes glittered with an evil glint as he went to task on cleaning up every inch of her personally.
