The coldness on his face made Shu Yao realize that a pale hand was gently gliding across his cheek.
He took a step back, distancing himself from this enchanting and elegant yet dangerous - looking man. It seemed that as long as he touched this man, the cold air would seep into his body and soul.
Suddenly, he blurted out, "Why is it you?"
Yan Yijue slightly curled his lips. Even that faint curve was so graceful. His voice came softly, "If it's not me, who do you wish it to be?"
Shu Yao didn't answer. He lowered his eyes because he dared not look into those cold and moon - like eyes. Just the upturned corners of the eyes were enough to bewitch people.
"I saved you. Why don't you even say thank you?"
"Thank you."
Yan Yijue shook his head in boredom. Then he used his index finger to lift Shu Yao's chin. His cold and gloomy red eyes scanned this beautiful face, the face that always made him unable to stop desiring.
"Remember, you owe me a favor. One day, you'll have to repay it."
Before Shu Yao could say anything, he saw Yan Yijue leave a cold and charming smile. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
He was left alone in the back mountain. It seemed that from the beginning to now, everything was so quiet and serene, as if nothing had happened.
"Dad!" The next moment, a familiar and anxious voice suddenly echoed from behind.
He turned around and saw a man in white robes rushing towards him in a hurry.
Then he was pulled into a warm embrace, followed by a stern scolding, "Dad, why did you come to the back mountain? If you wanted to go out, why didn't you tell me? Why are you still so disobedient!"
Facing the tall and imposing Shu Yue, Shu Yao was like a child who had done something wrong at this moment. He pouted and said, "The air in the room was too stuffy. I just came out for a walk. I didn't expect to end up in the back mountain. I saw you were in meditation and was afraid of disturbing your internal energy, so I didn't bother you."
Shu Yue was so angry that he was speechless. He just looked down at his cute dad and tried not to laugh, "What did you come to the back mountain for?"
"I came here to enjoy the night view." After saying that, Shu Yao really wanted to slap himself. He was so bad at making up lies.
As smart as Shu Yue was, seeing Shu Yao's flustered eyes, he immediately saw through it. He looked around at the rocks and miscellaneous trees and pointed, "Are you sure you were enjoying the night view here?"
"Uh, yes."
"Dad, do you have something to hide from me?"
Shu Yao quickly raised his head and denied it repeatedly, "No, how could I? I have nothing to hide."
If Shu Yue knew that Li Nao had flirted with him just now, with his temper, he would probably turn the whole Kunshan School upside down.
Thinking about it, there was no need to ruin Shu Yue's future because of one person.
Shu Yue just stared deeply at him for a few seconds. Then, suddenly, he picked Shu Yao up horizontally. His movements were so quick and clean that he didn't give Shu Yao any chance to resist.
"Put me down. What are you doing?" Shu Yao struggled in the man's arms. What if someone saw them later?
Unexpectedly, a cold and hoarse voice sounded in his ear, with enough threat to make him stop struggling, "If you move again, I can't guarantee what I'll do to Dad."
Shu Yao whispered in a low voice, "You dare!"
But he saw the man smiling calmly. His flying sword - shaped eyebrows were raised. With just a cold glance, Shu Yao didn't dare to say another word, "Then let's wait and see."
Shu Yao could only complain about this over - bearing and arbitrary man in his heart. He let the man carry him back to the wing - room.
Fortunately, it was already late at night and everyone else was asleep. So the thing Shu Yao was worried about didn't happen.
Shu Yue roughly threw Shu Yao onto the couch and leaned over expressionlessly.
"You, what are you going to do again?" Shu Yao immediately hugged his chest tightly, covering his body completely so that Shu Yue had no chance to "rob" him.
Seeing Dad's cute action, Shu Yue didn't have such an idea at first, but now, he got a playful thought.
His deep eyes scanned Shu Yao's whole body with a hint of amorousness. His face was as fair as black jade, and his complexion was like the flowers in early spring. Even when angry and pouting, there was still a hint of coquettishness, which really made the desire in Shu Yue's heart stir again.
This dad was really a "disaster for the country and the people"!
"Dad, are you trying to seduce me like this?" He got closer again. Every word and every tone was extremely lazy, but it could just stir people's hearts.
"Who, who is trying to seduce you?"
"Then Dad's action makes it seem as if I'm going to eat you," he licked his lips and reached out to hold the back of Shu Yao's head, "Actually, I don't mind either."
"Shu Yue! Do you believe I'll beat you up!" This kid. He became more and more unscrupulous when Dad was nice to him. He really deserved a beating!
"If Dad is willing, just beat me." Shu Yue still smiled playfully. With his extremely thick - skinned handsome face, he got closer to Shu Yao and just regarded what Shu Yao said as a joke.
However, the next moment, his nose was hit by a fist. Then, a faint smell of blood spread from the tip of his nose to the corner of his mouth.
Shu Yue wiped it with his finger. There was bright blood on his fingertip. He looked at Shu Yao again. Shu Yao had a cold and "you deserve it" expression.
"Wow!!!" Shu Yue suddenly let out a loud cry. He rolled around on the bed like a child, wailing aggrievedly, "My nose hurts so much. Dad, you really beat me. Wuwu..."
Shu Yao looked at him with the look of caring for a mentally - handicapped person. It was just one punch. Was it necessary to be so childish and aggrieved like a child?
He gave a disdainful glance, "How old are you? Still so childish. It's embarrassing!"
When Shu Yue heard this, it got even worse. He ignored everything and exaggerated his actions, performing the act of grievance to the fullest, "I don't care. I was beaten by Dad. Dad has to apologize to me!"
"It's you who was being excessive first. Why should I apologize?"
"I just flirted with Dad a little. I didn't do anything else."
"Flirting is not allowed either. I'm your dad. We can't mess up the seniority." The more Shu Yao heard, the angrier he got. This kid even flirted with him as if it were perfectly reasonable.
"But I've flirted with Dad before and you didn't react so strongly."
"This is the Kunshan School. There are so many people around. It's not like in the tree - house where you can do whatever you want." If he wasn't careful, he might attract gossips.
This statement gave Shu Yue a loophole. He stopped acting like a spoiled child and became serious, "So Dad means that if it's in the tree - house, I can flirt with you at will?"
"Ah?" Shu Yao was stunned for a long time and couldn't react.
"Oh, I understand, Dad. Don't worry. Unless it's in the tree - house, I won't do anything out of line here."
When he finally reacted, he saw that the man had already lain down on his side and fallen asleep.
Shu Yao patted his head. He had really dug a pit for himself!
He let out a sigh, then blew out the lamp and lay down to sleep.
The man with his back to him, although with his eyes closed, slightly curled his lips, looking bright and full of warmth...
