Shu Yao felt a sudden tightness on his wrist. Looking back, he saw Shu Yue holding a red thread between his fingers. The two ends of the thread were tied to their wrists.
He propped himself up, his delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. "What are you doing?"
For no reason at all, why tie a red thread?
Shu Yue, however, smiled gently and elegantly. His eyes were bright and dazzling, and his eyebrows were as innocent as a child's. "I'm afraid Father will kick me off, so I had to tie us with a red thread."
He said it matter - of - factly, with an innocent look on his face as if to say, "It's not my fault."
Shu Yao stared at him indifferently, not knowing how to refute. He could only let him be. "Do as you please."
He regarded Shu Yue as an immature child, but still shifted his body, trying to keep a distance from him as much as possible.
However, a clean and puzzled voice came from behind. "Why is Father suddenly so distant from me, always trying to keep a distance?"
Shu Yue noticed that since he woke up again, every time he got close to Shu Yao, his father would move far away.
This inexplicably made him very uneasy.
He sought an answer from Shu Yao, but only heard his calm voice without a ripple. "Don't think too much. Go to sleep quickly."
Fortunately, he had his back turned, hiding the melancholy and helplessness in his eyes.
Shu Yao rested his face on his arm, pretending to fall asleep, but was still listening for Shu Yue's movements. After a while, he didn't hear any extra words.
But the more so, the more he was afraid that the secret he was hiding would be exposed inadvertently.
Shu Yue squinted his phoenix eyes, which were like the hazy night, making it even harder to see through Shu Yao's emotions.
He reached out his hand, wanting to touch the slender shoulder hidden under the veil, but just when he was within reach, he retracted his hand into his long sleeve.
Well, it was good enough to sleep beside him like this. As long as he was still by his side, nothing else mattered.
As Shu Yao gradually fell into a dream and his breathing became steady, Shu Yue was still awake.
Shu Yao groaned and turned over in his sleep, just facing Shu Yue. His quiet and extremely beautiful sleeping face was completely exposed in front of Shu Yue.
With such a peerless beauty so close at hand, Shu Yue felt as if he was about to suffocate!
His snow - white skin was covered by the veil. His delicate eyebrows were like the distant green mountains. Under his upturned eye - tails were long, curly eyelashes. His lips were as red as cherries, and his skin was as white as snow. Half of his black hair was scattered in front, adding a touch of pity to his coquettishness.
His slender hand was resting in his waterfall - like black hair. Half of his cheek was hidden under the hair, making his skin look even more crystal - clear like jade.
The suppressed desire from before resurfaced. Shu Yue rolled his Adam's apple. His heroic eyebrows were as sharp as a sword, as if he was enduring the burning fire in his heart.
He forgot Shu Yao's warning, leaned forward, and reached out his hand again, slowly stroking that jade - like cheek.
Seeing that Shu Yao showed no reaction, his courage suddenly flared up. A rush of blood went to his head, forcing him to kiss those rose - like lips.
The closer he got, the redder his ears became. When he finally touched those moist lips, even the hand holding Shu Yao's face trembled.
Originally, he just wanted to give a light peck, but the softness and fragrance of those cherry lips made him unable to stop. He broke through the initial defense line and tried to deepen the kiss.
He first pressed his lips firmly on those red lips. Feeling that Shu Yao still didn't react, he simply put one hand over Shu Yao's body and propped it on the side of his head. His strong body instantly pressed down on Shu Yao.
Just as he was trying to pry open Shu Yao's cherry - like mouth, his other hand stroked the charming body beneath him. The extremely beautiful figure almost drove him crazy.
However, before he could taste the sweetness, he suddenly met a pair of empty and elegant bright eyes, in which the shock had been firmly covered by anger.
"You bastard!" Shu Yao pushed the man on top of him away with all his strength, and angrily slapped him across the face.
His chest heaved with anger. He wiped the remaining taste on his lips and glared at Shu Yue with a red face.
He never thought that Shu Yue would do such a shameless thing to him, and what's more, he took advantage of his vulnerability!
The burning pain on his face made Shu Yue inexplicably calm. He slowly turned his head, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
The upturned arc was very beautiful, but it was cold without any temperature. His sharp and deep eyes even carried a hint of aggression.
He was like a tiger staring at a prey that was about to belong to him.
This kind of oppression and coldness made Shu Yao feel a sense of fear.
This was a Shu Yue he had never seen before. Those sharp eyes seemed to want to devour him completely, leaving not even a single bit.
"Shu Yue, what... what are you doing!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly pushed down by Shu Yue, who forcibly held his wrists at both sides.
At this moment, Shu Yue was like a wild beast pouncing on its prey, thinking about how to take a bite.
"Shu Yao, we've been together day and night. Don't you really understand my feelings for you?" For the first time when facing Shu Yao, he didn't call him Father, but rather domineeringly called his name.
Shu Yue pressed his whole body on him, leaving him no space to escape. His strong body made the slender Shu Yao look like a poor lamb.
He wasn't worried at all that Shu Yao would resist, because Shu Yao couldn't use his magic power for the time being.
"Shu Yue, I'm your father. What you're doing goes against common sense. You'll be condemned by thousands of people and spat upon for generations to come!"
Although Shu Yao's tone was very severe, considering the out - of - control Shu Yue and the power in his body, he didn't get too excited in his words.
"Even if I'm reviled by the whole world and laughed at for thousands of generations, what does it matter to me?"
His eyes were cold and determined. Every word was forceful. With that unseemly infatuation in his heart, he boldly and bravely revealed his true feelings without any scruples.
"That's your business. It has nothing to do with me." Shu Yao said firmly and resolutely. His eyes were as cold as ice, which chilled Shu Yue's heart.
Hearing these heartless words over and over again in his ears, Shu Yue felt as if the bridge of hope had collapsed. In an instant, it all disappeared because of the words "has nothing to do with me"...
"Don't you have even a little bit of..."
"I don't!" These three heartless words instantly reduced Shu Yue's hopes to ashes, and he fell into the mortal world.
Shu Yue's hands slowly loosened with despair. He got off Shu Yao. His pale outline suddenly looked extremely beautiful.
He stood up and tidied his clothes. Shu Yao didn't look at that sad face, but just coldly spat out a sentence. "Not only do I not have any feelings for you now, but you should never have any hope in the future."
"There will never be a possibility between us."
Without a possibility, there would be no ending...
Shu Yue didn't know how much bitterness he had swallowed, but his heart still ached like being cut by a knife. After a long while, he said feebly, "I was too rash. I'm sorry."
Looking down at the red thread tied between them, his eyes paused for a moment. He decisively untied it and threw the red thread aside.
The love bond that had just been formed was mercilessly cut off at this moment, as well as all his illusions.
Just as the saying goes, "The mountain has trees and the trees have branches, yet my love for you remains unknown to you!"
He put on his black robe. His black hair was messy and scattered, covering his desolate and handsome face. His flying eyebrows had already turned cold.
He didn't leave a single word and turned around to leave.
Shu Yao's heart skipped a beat and he called out to him. "Where are you going?"
