Broken Bonds

Chapter 75

Chapter 75:

The man was looking at him, when he saw him come out, and said indifferently: "Fei Li, come with me."

Yan Feili hesitated: "Sect Master, it's getting late, I..."

Beitang Ao ignored him, he turned around and walked to the courtyard gate next to him, as if he was sure he would follow.

Yan Feili really couldn't take to ignore him, so he had to follow him silently.

After leaving the courtyard, the two slowly turned around the garden and came to the southernmost residence. Although this suburban courtyard was not as gorgeous as the Beitang Palace, or as large as the Floating Residence, it was specially built for summer hunting. It's just that there was an elegant and beautiful area on the southernmost side, which was an elegant place to enjoy the coolness and enjoy the moon.

There was a pool of beautiful spring water, but because the season has not yet arrived, the lotus at the bottom of the pool has not yet budded, but the moonlight was clear. There was a warm shade next to the pool.

The pavilion was built in the style of the beauty of the south, resembling a pavilion but not really a pavilion, like a gazebo but not really a gazebo, with light curtains hung on three sides.

Yan Feili walked in with him, and saw a few small dishes on the stone table, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and a warm wine on the side.

Beitang Ao sat down, pointed to the opposite chair, and said, "I didn't see you eat much during dinner, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some small dishes at will. You can eat more."

Yan Feili sat down silently, and saw that the dishes on the table were light and simple, which were quite in line with his own taste, not only he had mixed feelings but he never thought that there would be another day that he would see Beitang Ao and Li'er, and this day came so suddenly, so unexpectedly, until now it feels a little unreal.

"Sect Master, you knew I was on the racecourse?"

"Did you really think that because you have left me, I will ignore you?"

Yan Feili did not know whether to say yes or not.

Beitang Ao poured him a glass of warm wine. "If I didn't come to you, you will never come back, right?"

"Why were you looking for me?"

"Why? Don't you want me to find you?"

Yan Feili was unable to speak because of his unpredictable eyes that were staring at his face, making him shift his gaze, looking everywhere but not the man in front of him. He slowly drank the glass of wine, and after a while, said slowly: "If I stayed, it would only embarrass everyone. Otherwise, our relationship...what would have come out of it?"

The corner of Beitang Ao's lips clicked: "You finally asked. I thought you wouldn't say anything."

"If I don't say it, it doesn't mean I don't want to." Yan Feili lowered his head, turning his hands and said in a deep voice.

Beitang Ao poured another glass for him, his movements were elegant and natural. "Fei Li, our relationship is indeed unclear. It is too difficult to sort out now but it is too late to cut it off."

Yan Feili raised his eyes and saw that he was looking at the surface of the pool outside the Nuan Pavilion, his face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sect Master, when did you find where I was?" Yan Feili asked after a moment of silence.

"I have known your whereabouts three months after you left. I also knew that you have received news from your old friends in the Sect, knowing that I did acquiesce to your departure, and knew I deleted your name from the Heavenly Sect roster, right? You thought that I also crossed you out of my heart? You thought I won't look for you?"

"The Sect Master manages all kinds of things every day and has a lot of affairs, so how can there be time to come to me? Why do you want to come to me?"

Beitang Ao arrogantly narrowed his eyes: "Did you think you are so weightless in my heart?"

Yan Feili gave a wry smile. Of course he knew that he still had some weight in his heart, but he wouldn't pretend to think that it was heavy. It's not that he was arrogant, but he doesn't expect to get more affection from Beitang Ao. Because he is also a man, knowing that men have many things besides feelings. Beitang Ao has a family, a career, shoulders responsibilities, and holds power. These things distract him too much, and he is really..just nothing, a nobody. At least as long as there is Li'er, he will never forget that there was such a person besides Yan Feili.

Seeing that he was silent, Beitang Ao was annoyed, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and stared at him.

At this time, the night was dark and the surroundings were silent. Only the two of them were sitting and looking at each other. The ambiguous atmosphere and the deep expression in his eyes made Yan Feili panic. Thinking of what happened on the grassland this morning, he was even more disturbed.

"Sect Master, it's already too late, if we have something more to talk about, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Beitang Ao still ignored his words, and just asked, "You have been to this summer residence before. When was that?"

Yan Feili replied helplessly: "It was the year when your magical power was accomplished."

"Oh, yes!" Beitang Ao gave a small chuckle: "At that time, you followed me back to attend the ceremony. Later, I stayed in the palace without incident, so I took you here to hunt." After thinking about it, he asked again: "It's been ten years, right?"

"Yes."

"The years have passed." Beitang Ao sighed. He was rarely sentimental, but this sigh was exceptionally clear.

Yan Feili's memories were aroused by him, and the scenes of the past flashed through his mind instantly. Back then, he had accompanied him to drink alcohol here, but he was not in his embarrassing status now. At that time, the young man 'Leng Yan Shengmei', as clear as the moon, was so unattainable in his eyes. But at this moment, was he his close and distant... lover?

Beitang Ao suddenly stood up and approached him, holding his hand, and whispering in his ear: "Feili, do you remember what I said this morning?"

Yan Feili's hand trembled, and the wine was spilled out of the glass, poured onto the table, and slowly trickled down the floor. He wanted to push him away, but he was shocked to find that his whole body couldn't condense any strength.

"Sect Master!?"

"I know you have always been stubborn, so I specially prepared this drink for you, it will make you so carefree tonight." Beitang Ao smiled haughtily and held his hand tightly. "Ten years have passed between us, it was so fast. I didn't know how I spent this ten years?"

"!!!"

With a sound, the jade wine glass fell from Yan Feili's hand and dropped with a 'clink' to the ground. Beitang Ao swept his arms around, wrapped his slumped body in his arms, and smiled: "You know, what I say always counts!"
