Mo Dao Zu Shi: Together |Zhuiling| ✅

Chapter-12

In the back yard of JinLin Tai.

Under the bliss of morning sunshine, the green grasses were covered by dew and sunrays. The birds were melodiously chirruping.

The sect leader, JinLing, was humming and showering the seedlings that he had sown after returning from the Yi City.

He still remembered the conversation with his secret love of that night.

After he entered the room of the inn, Shizui and Jingyi entered as well. But the atmospjere was weirdly a bit silence. As a matter of fact, Jingyi couldn't tolerate the silence. He said, "So, you sure not gonna sleep on bed?"

JinLing within a second replied, "The heck! You wanna sleep on bed? Then sleep there! I can sleep on floor!"

Shizui thought thay again the scene would get heated up, so he hurroed waved his hand and childed, "Okay okay calm down. Calm down."

However, to his surprise, Jingyi actually didj't argued, "Okay. Then sleep on floor. I'll sleep on bed." Then he pointed at himself, then made his eyes stern and said a word at a time, "Only me."

"..."

"..."

So, at the end it was finally decided. Jingyi on bed, Shizui and JinLing on floor.

After a long long moment, JinLing could hear Jinyi snoring from above. He wasn't able to sleep!

Hee thought that it was probably because of Jingyi. But along with the noise of snoring, he could hear his heart thumping. Pounding like mad. As if it was about to explose. His face was like cherry red, only thanks to darkness it won't possibly be visible.

He glanced at the moon thtough the wooden window that was infront. Then he turned and glanced at the moon beside him. So beautiful. So peaceful.

The person beside him was ofcourse Shizui. His chest slowly rising and falling. Eyelids drooped down in calmness. Lips slightly parted.

JinLing's eyes landed on those lips. He suddenly snapped out of his wishful dreaming. He instantly closed his eyes.

And right after ten seconds his eyes opened again. A little relucant and a bit stubborn. After processing many thoughts in minds, he slowly moved his hands.

He thought, 'Just a little touch. Nonono I'll only remove his hair so I can properly look at him. Nononono not for that reason, but so that he would feel comfortable.'

As he reached his hands towards Shizui's face, only an inch away from his skin. But right after his hand was firmly clasped by the hand of other male, that is- Shizui. And he at the moment opened his eyes.

JinLing was stunned, his pupils voilently shrank. For a moment in panic, he thought, lets pretend to sleep. Then he  got reminded, won't that be stupid decision. But then he again thought, whatever lets just close eyes.

He abruptly closed his eyes. His eyelashes were trembling from panic. But in next second, he was stupified and widened his eyes. Shizui had placed his hand on his own cheeks.

JinLing for the first time felt  Shizui's face. It was soft and so fucking smooth!

In his utter panic and bewilderment, he subconsiously turned his head to look at him. He slowly gulped and just kept on looking.

Shizui's eyes were gentle but there was a hint of worry or maybe sadness for some reason. He softly said, "JinLing."

"Hmm?"

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"..."

JinLing was going dizzy for that raspy voice and the touch of Shizui's skin. He wanted to move his eyes but at the same time he didn't. He croaked, "Did I wake you up?"

Shizui shook his head. JinLing's hand was still carressing his face, but he didn't seem to mind.

JinLing arched an eyebrow up high, "Then?"

Shizui replied with sly smile, "Its just that I don't want to sleep."

"..."

The fuck he means?!

He hurriedly took his hand to himself and turned straight facing the ceiling. He didn't know what kind of expression Shizui would have. He wanted to know but also didn't. His face was heating up like a fire was set on his skin.

After debating in his mind for a while, he finally decided to ask, "Hey Shizui..."

Surprisingly, Shizui wasn't asleep yet. He replied, "...yes?"

JinLing's heart skip a beat, he lightly coughed trying to soothe himself. Then said, "What is favourite flower?"

"..."

"I-I-I mean, I'm, I, yo-no..."

He was getting dizzy because of embarrassment now. He didn't know how to continue, but his panicking suddenly came to halt and turned to a bewildered expression. Shizui chuckled.

He turned his head to Shizui's side and still had a perplexed look. His face flushed redand his phoenix brows had a small frown in confusion, plus his lips were slightly parted.

Seeing his face, Shizui couldn't help but chuckel more. After heartily laughing he said, "I guess... Sunflower."

JinLing unconciously gulped. And this  time he completely turned his body as well to be in a more relaxed position. He tried to make his face as much indifferent as possible and asked, "Why so?"

Shizui seemed to have sighed, reason unkown. He then turned his gaze to the moon outside, that was outshining all the twinkling stars.

He softly said, "Maybe because it always faces sun..."

"Huh?"

Shizui awkwardly laughed and added, "It takes sun as its motive to grow. Whether it be night or be raining, after it ends it'll still face sun."

"...oh. So, you like sun?"

"..."

Shizui finally turned his head and stared at JinLing with raised brows. He again smiled for particularly no reason and replied, "Sun is the ultimate source of energy for every being in the world. We need to eat food to live. Farmers grows crops from which we get food, which needs sunlight to grow. Also, if Sun wasn't there our world must've been covered with snow every year, and many people and animals would've died because of serve cold."

JinLing's eyes by now were round like doe. This was something he had never thought about. But now he knew. He also came to know that the love of his life wasn't only gentle, selfless and intelligent but also had a very high thinking skill. He would think of every people, whether good or bad, poor or rich.

Shizui continued, "And the sunflower always takes its motive to grow from sun. Its as if it want to reach the sun, which ofcourse is impossible but it still tries. Maybe..."

Then he met his eyes with JinLing's. The gentle yet stern gaze met with those phoenix eyes again igniting a spark inside the heart of both. Shizui finished his sentence, "...thats why."

JinLing remembered every bit of his words. And as soon as he returned JinLin Tai, he ordered for some sunflower seeds and sowed them while happily humming.

One of the maiden came to him and said, "Sect Leader Jin, let his servent do the gardening. You don't have to dirty your hands."

JinLing didn't even turned his head he only digged the mud with his bare hands and planted a small seed. He said, "No need." The maiden only bowed her head and silently left.

JinLing had a subconcious smile while plants those seeds. It was as if he was sowing the seeds of his love that would germinate into a beautiful flower someday.
