Chapter 90: 4.28 Third Blue Star - Reconciliation

Velvety soft hair with each strand tickling my fingers at every touch. Pair of beryl orbs which emits iciness and uniqueness of a snowflakes. Warm squishy petite body which fit perfectly in my embrace. Then that scent of sweetness and mint that distinctly for this person.

This is mine.

He can only be mine.

Whether in the dream or in the reality,

This person is my only true love.

As the arms that are wrapped around him gets tighter and the feeling of being compressed heightens the pain on his dislocated right shoulder. That burning pain on his shoulder flares Gui Lan's anger. While the man embracing him ignores his suffering Gui Lan could only forcefully pull back this bastard to reality.

'It's so fucking painful!~~ This bastard always hug me to tightly when I'm injured. I don't usually feel pain but whenever the cause is this person the pain becomes concrete.'

Gui Lan whose eyes are now full of tears from the throbbing agony coming from his dislocated limb couldn't even struggle from Xie Ye's unyielding embrace. The only thing he could move is his neck and his head.

Gui Lan's thoughts at the moment, 'Still not letting go watch me then...'

He opened his mouth widely revealing his pair of fangs and complete set of white teeth. Without any hesitation Gui Lan bites on Xie Ye's exposed neckline in his line of sight.

Chomp! Chomped on it with enough strength to slightly tear the skin on Xie Ye's neck. In this way Gui Lan was able to share the burning pain on his shoulder to Xie Ye's neck.

Hiss! The sting on his neck is too real that Xie Ye finally realized that he isn't dreaming. The man he pressed on the bed is an actual person. It was indeed Gui Lan. Throbbing pain on his neck lessened the strength in his embrace and slightly freed the person wrapped inside his arms. He didn't dare to forcefully pull the man away from him in fear he would hurt him. He was thinking what to say and fell in a short silence until he felt damp warmness fall on his neck to his collarbone.

Xie Ye knew that Gui Lan was crying. He panicked for the first time of his life. Holding the thin waist that could be held on one arm and his other hand patting the back of the crying person, Xie Ye sat up on the bed with the latter directly seated on his lap. He first tried coaxing Gui Lan first even ignoring the pain on his neck. The moment he changed their position Xie Ye noticed the small figure on his embrace stiffen for a moment, this kind of involuntary movement can only happen when the latter is either scared or in pain. At first Xie Ye thought that he scared Gui Lan and immediately apologized.

Xie Ye, "Lan'er? Did I scare you just now? I'm sor--..." The bite on his neck strengthens when he say that. Obviously this means that he thought thing wrong and Gui Lan isn't angry.

'Hiss~ Did I guess wrongly?' Xie Ye moved his eyes around Gui Lan's body and thought of the other option, pain. After observing for a few seconds he noticed that Gui Lan's left arm was strangely hanging on the side slightly trembling but based on what he was seeing Gui Lan couldn't seem to move it at all. Only then he realized that it was dislocated.

Knowing that he was once again the cause of Gui Lan's state, Xie Ye could only blame himself for being useless.

"Ha~ Lan'er you can continue biting I'll reconnect your shoulder."

Clicked!

That simultaneously intolerable pain within those few seconds made Gui Lan unable to control the force on his jaws, the biting strength he was using increased enough to partly almost bite off a chunk of flesh on Xie Ye's neck. Gui Lan was able to release the bit the moment that unbearable pain on his shoulder spread all over his body. 

AH!!! He couldn't even completely muffle his scream.

"Lan'er, are you okay?" asked Xie Ye while looking worriedly at Gui Lan only for his breathing to stilled the moment his eyes wandered on those enchanting lips.

Those puffy lips were kiss-inspiring and satin soft. Now it was a bit tainted with scarlet color. The blood left the feeling of allure and temptation on those slightly trembling crimson lips. The after pain made Gui Lan groan as he tried to control his breathing to ease the pain.

With those bloodied lips slightly parted, Xie Ye's beastly instinct went out of control. He lowered his head and captured those delicious looking lips. Gui Lan was startled only for a moment before he returned the kiss. A sense of contentment fills his heart as Xie Ye ravaged his mouth, only towards this man that Gui Lan is willing to admit defeat. Xie Ye felt excitement as he could feel that the latter would continue to indulge him even at this age.

The Xie Ye that 15 years ago because he was too young he hurt this person not just once or twice. The lack of experience made him overlook the precious person who stays by his side. I even pushed him away once in my confusion and once again pushed him away in my delusion. I was so obsessed with the past that I couldn't even see him standing before him. There are many cases which would allow him to recognize Hei Lan is Gui Lan, if only he thinks things carefully.

Gui Lan would never allow others to touch him without permission. Strangers could only touch his hand  with business like gestures like handshakes but nothing more. He had heard lots of things about Gui Lan as he lived in Gui Mansion as the foster child. The Gui Lan they knew is a detached child. He has no expression and no emotions. He even treats his own father as just a human being but nothing more. It could even be said that Gui Shi only had the title of a father but that is all. This is because Gui Lan was born as an apathetic person. He lacks interest, enthusiasm, or concern.

Aside from him no one had really moved Gui Lan. But he understood it too late. As he grew older he started to understand the meaning in Gui Lan's words, gestures and acts. Only he was able to hug Gui Lan, eat meals together on the same plate and sleep beside him at night. He has always been the only special person in Gui Lan's life. He felt jealous that Gui Lan treats Ye Xiajie with concern and yearning. He was so jealous that he even turned a blind eye on Gui Lan's feelings for himself. Once he remembered his childhood he really wanted to kill himself, his past self.

Sometimes he is so blinded by his own obsession and harms Gui Lan unintentionally. What happened just now is a great example. He didn't even notice that him suddenly pulling Gui Lan towards him made him dislocate Gui Lan's right shoulder. He didn't control his strength and hurt him. It may be unintentional but it was still done by him. Then he vowed that starting tonight all of his attention will only fall on Gui Lan. He must not leave anything unnoticed. His love must never be harmed again, whether it was someone else or him himself.

Their kiss was taking too long and Gui Lan could no longer feel his lips but the obvious throbbing and numbness is the only proof of this man's ferocity. Gui Lan could only grab Xie Ye's hair and pull him away. Feeling his lover's discontent, Xie Ye could only pull himself away.

"I still haven't forgotten you rejecting me, A'Ye!" exclaimed Gui Lan.

Xie Ye responded, "I was wrong. It would never happen again, Lan'er."

Xie Ye knew his lover's anger and could only use his ultimate skill. He gave his lover the sad puppy eyes as he looked up on him. Gui Lan who was hit by bullseye by those eyes suddenly froze and his anger was held up as if a cold water was poured over his head. He let go of Xie Ye's hair and instead pulled at his cheeks, playing with his face while pouting.

"If I don't love you do you think those eyes would work. If it was someone else who looked at me like that I would have plucked out their eyes!" said Gui Lan.

Hearing his lover's poisonous tongue but soft heart, Xie Ye couldn't stop himself from smiling at him. What he didn't know is that this lustrous smile is more of ultra ultimate skill, its effect is much more aggressive than the puppy eyes from before. Gui Lan couldn't even stop the blush from appearing on his flawless face.

'Bastard! What the hell are you concurrently giving away ultimate skills one after another!? I almost could stop myself and jump on you.'

System Yue who just finished his task returned to his host side only to witness this scene. Hearing his host's thoughts, System Yue couldn't help but retort.

[Host, give up. You can never defeat him in your whole life.(waving a white flag)]

"Your back, Yue! Anyway even if I cannot defeat him, controlling his appetite should suffice. I won't let him eat tonight!"

[(Yue raises two more white flags.) I bet 3 redemption tickets that the host will give away in the end.]

"I will bet with you!" said Gui Lan.

Gui Lan then pushed Xie Ye on the bed intending only to punish him but things had gone wrong somewhere and you know what happened next.

------

Morning.

That night Gui Lan accepted the bet with his System Yue. The next morning had no face to face the world. Because... he can't get out of the bed. His ankle was chained in the bed's foot. Laying on his stomach only could see his back covered in endless and countless strawberry marks. There are even traces of light bite marks and bruises. This figure is an obvious result of overdoing it.

'Who am I? Where is this? When was it?' Gui Lan's rampaging thoughts.

[Host, I won!]

"Fuck it! Just take it away."

[Informing the host that you could no longer redeem any items in this world. Hehehe~ how was the dark room play, host.]

"Hmm~ it was amazing and exciting~ I want to do it again with more tools." said Gui Lan with a huge grin on his face.

{[The host doesn't seems to learn his lesson at all.]}

Arriving from outside the room, his person sat on the bed is none other than Xie Ye who just returned from the kitchen bringing a glass of water for Gui Lan. He is currently massaging his lover's aching waist.

Xie Ye asked worriedly, "Lan'er, are you uncomfortable somewhere? Do you need to see a doctor?"

Gui Lan glared at him with sultry languid eyes, "If you dare then you can clean up the study room and stay there starting tonight."

Xie Ye chuckles as he lowered his head and pecked Gui Lan's lips. There's evident happiness on his face.

"I will listen to you, Lan'er." responded Xie Ye as he unlocked the cuffed on his ankle. They played too much last night and even created the scenario of the so-called dark room.

Seeing the traces left by the cuffed made Xie Ye frown. Because of Gui Lan's request for the dark room play, he wasn't able to prepare the required tools for it. They could only improvise and used his personal special handcuff in capturing espers. Gently prying the handcuff out Gui Lan's ankle, Xie Ye felt bad seeing the red traces on his lover's white skin. He carefully held his lover's foot and kissed the traces in an attempt to soothe the pain. Seeing Xie Ye's gesture, Gui Lan was moved. He could see how precious he is for this man.

"A'Ye I feel sticky. I want to take a bath~" said Gui Lan.

Xie Ye who heard his lover's request nodded his head unhesitantly. He carried him in his arms carefully.

"Let's take one together, Lan'er." said Xie Ye.

Gui Lan smiled at him as he wrapped his arms around Xie Ye's neck.

"As long as you wish, A'Ye~" replied Gui Lan.
