Chapter 319 - A Ridiculous Proposal

The words you aren't perfect but you are perfect for me, flaws and all pierced straight through Rui Fei's heart striking the sweetest spot. His body stiffened for a moment as a watery haze filled his eyes.

You can't blame him for wanting to cry. He was but an almost seventeen-year-old who had never felt love from someone who had no blood relation with him. Ji Yao was so good to him no matter what he said or did wrong. If this isn't love then what is?

Rui Fei hugged him even tighter as he sighed. A warm and fuzzy feeling spread across his chest as he inhaled that soothing fragrance deeply.

The two figures merged into one with the orange afterglow of the sun disappearing into the horizon shining upon them. Their garments and long hair flattered with the chilly breeze almost entwining together.

The mix of jet black and silvery grey strands looked aesthetically pleasing. If one looked closely they might be able to see pink bubbles floating around them. It is indeed beautiful being in love.

After embracing Ji Yao for so long there were unintended consequences. The hot-blooded teenager who had just been introduced to the kind of thirst that could only be quenched with the revitalizing essence from Ji Yao couldn't hold back the itchy feeling creeping up on him.

His hand slowly slid towards Ji Yao's belt as he said, "Even when I do this?" He immediately tugged at Ji Yao's belt trying to loosen it up while his lips brushed against Ji Yao's exposed neck making the man in his arms shudder.

Ji Yao felt his cheeks heat up and wanted to push Rui Fei away but his sex drive was also high that his resistance would look more like he was being coquettish with a no that's not necessarily a no.

Ji Yao raised his head slightly as he replied, "Even when you do that..... you are still perfect for me." He closed his eyes and focused on the itchy feeling spreading down from his neck to his tippy toes.

A sly grin brimming with mischief appeared on Rui Fei's face as he loosened the belt to slip his hands inside. He even had the idea of just pressing Ji Yao down right here right now in this forest as long as he permitted it. Yes, it wasn't the ideal location but the view was good, it was isolated and the mood was right. Okay, almost right.

"Seriously, why don't you two just get a room and just fuck each other already... ai, argh..... the fu-ck," said Zhang Li after being smirked upside his head by Lady Ching Sei who couldn't accept the language.

Zhang Li scratched the back of his head as Ji Yao pushed Rui Fei away before hurriedly fixing his clothes. Rui Fei wasn't upset at all. He was grinning like a fool while glimpsing over at Ji Yao with a smug look all over his face.

Ji Yao also swept a glance in his direction several times but he didn't understand what this kid was being smug about until the third glance. With his finger raised he said, "No, don't even think about it."

Rui Fei brushed the tip of his nose with his index finger as he moved a little closer. "The elders have spoken so we can only obey. They gave us their blessing," he confidently said for once actually acknowledging Zhang Li as an elder.

"Seriously, the sexual tension between the both of you is stifling. Just pick one of the houses in the village and we will all give you some space to...," said Zhang Li when a menacing gaze was sent his way. He stopped talking and looked at Lady Ching Sei.

"You are still talking?" she said her tone so terrifying that Zhang Li took a step away subconsciously.

He laughed nervously as he said, "No, no I am done..... seriously, I am done."

Lady Ching Sei took a step forward as she said, "I thought so...," before addressing Ji Yao directly, "Ah-Yao, would you like to speak to the survivor now?"

Ji Yao straightened his robe as he responded, "Mhm.... I will speak to him," before taking a step towards the path into the forest. Rui Fei subconsciously followed behind but Lady Ching Sei raised her hand gesturing for him to stop and said,

"You terrified him enough. Your presence will only make things worse."

Rui Fei knew better than anyone else what was going on. He knew she didn't particularly like him though her impression of him had improved slightly over time. This was her polite way of saying, "Step aside for a minute. I need to try and convince your boyfriend that you aren't a good thing.

Rui Fei folded his hands leisurely across his chest waiting for Ji Yao to speak for him. Sure enough, Ji Yao halted his steps and turned his head slightly before saying, "He will talk, I will make sure of it. Now let's go," before walking forward.

Rui Fei smiled smugly before walking past her following his boyfriend. Recalling that taunting look that Rui Fei gave her she clenched and unclenched her jaw with her head lowered. Seeing her like this made Zhang Li's heart clench.

He stood next to her and said, "Why don't you stay out of it and join me in the peanut gallery. I am sure when Ji Wen finds out he will break them up and Qilin Hao would most definitely slay the brat."

Lady Ching Sei suddenly looked up and said, "Ji Wen can break them up but if Qilin Hao lays a finger on Rui Fei, Huishe Yue won't stand for it. It will inevitably spark a war between the two ensuing chaos."

Zhang Li shrugged his shoulders and said, "War is inevitable, it all comes down to how prepared you are."

Lady Ching Sei kept silent for a moment before turning to him saying, "What if we set Ji Yao up with Zhang Ci? Maybe it can stir the pot and Rui Fei can show his true colours hence they would break up."

"Ahahahahahaha, hahahahahaha, aha, aha.... wait you are not joking?" he said as his laughter died down, "are you serious? Do you want my family line to end there? I don't want to bury my son."

Lady Ching Sei knew the plan was ridiculous but she couldn't help it. Zhang Ci was seriously starting to look more favourable when compared to the unpredictable Rui Fei.

"Not going to happen," emphasized Zhang Li not intending to take his son off the leash. The moment he lets him loose he was certain the brat would go seeking death by himself following Ji Yao like a little pup.

If that happens he was sure it wouldn't take a day for his son to disappear without a trace and Rui Fei would be the murderer.. He was fairly certain that he won't even leave a shred of evidence behind that he committed the crime.
