Chapter 245 - Lower Ranked Concubine Unloved By His Husband

After the heat died down Ji Yao now felt the discomfort of their damp robes. He wanted to get up and take care of the both of them but he was so embarrassed that he just lay there like a salted fish.

Rui Fei on the other hand was teasing Ji Yao's naked back with his fingertips. He had on a weak but earnest smile on his face like he had just enjoyed a special treat. From his heartbeat alone it was easy to detect his position on the love meter.

He was so in love with this man that he couldn't contain his smile. Surprisingly what just happened between them gave him some kind of reassurance like Ji Yao would never leave him. He felt like they truly belong to each other and nothing no matter what it is would break them apart.

In a fit of happiness, he took a whiff of Ji Yao's scent and felt this great sense of ease wash over him. It was then Ji Yao got up and made a move to get off him. Rui Fei who hadn't had enough cuddles yet held Ji Yao's wrist in complaint.

"Yao-ge, where are you going? Just come back and sleep with me for a moment longer, please," he said tightening his hold on Ji Yao's wrist but because he was so weak it was like a gentle squeeze.

Ji Yao couldn't look him straight in the face but he felt the sweetness dripping in that voice. He also would love to stay glued to each other like this but it was truly uncomfortable.

"Don't make trouble," he said before getting off the luohan bed and walking to the other room where there was a wooden tub. It seem Xunshi Zhe had already filled it with water so he placed his hand inside and gently warmed it up with whatever little seraphic energy he could muster.

As he stirred his hand in the water his mind couldn't help but wander a great distance. He thought of the grief Rui Fei went through in that cave and his heart couldn't help but twinge painfully. Maybe it was because he didn't want to experience the same thing as Rui Fei that when his father was taken he was prepared to do whatever it takes to get him back.

Seeing Rui Fei break down like this broke his heart so much that he didn't want him to experience such a thing ever again. He liked seeing Rui Fei cheerful with that gorgeous smile on his face looking at him like he was the only one in the world. Thinking of looks he couldn't help but recall the obsessive lustful gaze Rui Fei had on when he (Ji Yao) was riding on top of him. That look he gave him made his blood boil with both excitement and nervousness. He wanted Rui Fei to only look at him like that not anyone else.

A blush crept up his face recalling his sensual movements and the way Rui Fei groaned in pleasure. Just thinking about it made his blood rush to his lower half which wasn't good considering he was about to help Rui Fei take a bath.

He tossed a few things in the water before walking out of the room to get the youth. Rui Fei was lying there like a corpse with an expression like that of an abandoned person. He looked like an older child left on the steps of an orphanage forsaken by his parents.

The exact word, Rui Fei would use to describe his emotions right now would be sulking. Ji Yao had just done 'this and that' with him and then left just like that. Granted 'the this and that' was amazing but now he felt like a lower ranked concubine unloved by his husband so he was sulking.

He lay there, limps sprawled like a starfish pouting so when Ji Yao showed up and tried to help him up he most certainly played hard to get. Unfortunately, his level of resistance at the moment was so weak that it couldn't even be called resistance.

The good thing was that Ji Yao could easily read his mood so he stopped trying to pick him up even though in Rui Fei's current state he could easily place the cub over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes with ease. Respecting this little cub's show of resistance he asked, "What's wrong?"

Rui Fei's taut expression turned to that of grievance but the show of opposition was still there. His eyes seemed to say I am not going to tell you no matter what you say but what Ji Yao said abruptly ended his silent protest.

"So you don't want me to give you a bath?" he asked ready to grab a sponge and basin to wipe him down instead.

Rui Fei, "..."

His ears perked up like a dog that heard a packet of snacks being opened. If he had a tail it would have been wagging so much hitting the bed till it broke. He wasn't a low ranking concubine but a doted upon empress.

Ji Yao's lips quirked up slightly seeing this excited pup who couldn't wait to jump into the bathtub. He was fairly certain that if he pets his head right now Rui Fei would lick his face like an affectionate pug. Unfortunately, the innocence of the pug wasn't there the moment they stepped into that room.

Rui Fei was virtually powerless that he had to lean on Ji Yao's body as they walked. Ji Yao volunteered to carry him in a princess carry but Rui Fei resolutely refused. If there was anyone who was going to get carried in a princess carry it was going to be Ji Yao, just not today though because he was weak.

Despite needing to use Ji Yao as a human crutch Rui Fei enthusiastically fumbled trying to remove the rest of Ji Yao's clothes. His arm was moving as slow as a turtle but he desperately wanted to disrobe Ji Yao and see what was hidden underneath.

Ji Yao grasped his hands to stop him as he asked, "What are you doing?"

Rui Fei's gaze shifted up looking so innocent. "Isn't it that we are taking a bath? We have to take off our clothes, isn't it?"

Well, there was no way to refute that but the way Rui Fei was looking at him seemed to say, "If only I was fit I would rip your clothes off right here, bend you over at the tub edge, smack your ass and fiercely drill into you till you call me daddy."

Ji Yao was right. This is exactly what Rui Fei was thinking the only difference being that he wouldn't smack him too hard. This was his precious Yao-ge and he might not be able to forgive himself. The mere sight of a red palm print on Ji Yao's smooth butt might result in a major panic attack.

"Yes, but let's take off your clothes first," replied Ji Yao trying to feign calmness.. Unfortunately for him, his face was selling him out.
