A day after being discharged,Wang Qing went back to work. His co-workers came swarming and bombarded him with questions that he had no definite answer.He been shot twice at the same spot and miraculously survived.That just does not make any sense to him nor anyone who heard his story.
His husband,Feng Jianyu literally begged him not to overwork himself as his wound is still not fully heal. Dayu already moved half of his belonging into Wang Qing's house and neatly arranged them accordingly. When Wang Qing got back home late afternoon after being discharged,his apartment completely transformed. He was told that Dayu reconstructed the interior in just 10 days.He was happy to come home into a warmer atmosphere but his stoic facial expression led to a misunderstanding. Wang Qing just had too much thoughts on what happened to him and he needs an explanation.
At work Wang Qing kept on receiving several texts,coming from his worried husband.
â Have you reached the station?
â Â Do you feel alright?
â Â Have you eaten?
â Â You are probably busy,reply me whenever you can.
Honestly Wang Qing felt bad that he just read those texts.He did not mean to ignore them but he was not sure on what to believe anymore.Information he got from Dayu about what happened was different than what he actually experienced.Did his husband lied to him or did he experienced another illusion.He knew it was not fair for Dayu as for he went through a lot before they got to be together.They just got married recently but problems kept on coming their way.
Wang Qing finally made up his mind,he sent text to Irene telling her to come over his house after work. He realized it was no use for him to keep on making conclusion on his own.There wasn't much to do at the station,his chief refrained him from moving around too much so he was send home earlier.Wang Qing took his time driving home,he even stopped by the supermarket to buy daily necessities and groceries.
"Oh..You bought a lot" Dayu greeted him the moment he got back,wearing apron and holding ladle on his right hand.
Wang Qing nodded his head,walking into his apartment carrying few plastic bags on his hands and placed them on the kitchen countertops. Dayu followed closely behind.
"What are you cooking?" asked Wang Qing the moment his nose caught aromatic smell coming from the pot boiling on the stove.
Dayu beamed as he make his way into the kitchen and stir the boiling soup.
"Special soup" said Dayu,turning his head toward Wang Qing with a smile on his face."It should be done in a moment,why don't you take a rest for a while."
"I am fine,i rested for two weeks" Wang Qing let out a small chuckle before taking out goods from plastic bags and arranging them into the wall units.
The atmosphere somehow similar to when they used to live together a long time ago.If he learn the truth later on,can he still love like how he used to love?Wang Qing realized their relationship is lacking. Just how can he fix it?
Dayu hummed while slowly stirring the soup,with his left hand on his waist.Wang Qing slowly approached him once he's done with arranging those goods.He stretched out his hands,circling  them around his husband's waist as he brought his body closer.
"Hmm" Dayu flinched as for he did not expect to receive a backhug from his husband.
Wang Qing lowered his head,placing his forehead on top of Dayu's head.
"What's wrong?" he asked. Dayu intended to turn around and have a proper look at Wang Qing but he was stopped from doing so. Wang Qing firmly held onto him as he tighten his arms.
"I missed you" Wang Qing lowly whispered.His tone of voice was too low that Dayu barely heard those words.
"Me too" replied Dayu. He turned off the stove as his soup is ready. He put down the ladle he held earlier and placed his hand on top of Wang Qing's arm.He gently rubbed his palm against the skin and heaved a sigh.
"We should eat before it gets cold" suggested Dayu. Not that he did not realized the changed in his husband expression but rather waiting for the right time to talk about it.He understand very well of what's been on Wang Qing's mind.
Wang Qing slightly shook his head before releasing his arms and took a few steps back,giving way to Dayu. He quietly walked toward the dinning table and took a seat while waiting. Dayu walked back and forth between the table and kitchen,serving soup and noodles on the table along with bowls,spoon,chopsticks,glasses and a jug of water.
Just when they were about to start eating,someone pressed the front door bell.Wang Qing rose from his seat and welcomed his guest,Irene.He invited her to have dinner along.Irene passed him basket or fruits before taking a seat across Dayu.
"It's nice to have three of us at the same table,eating like this right?Wang Qing did not tell me about you coming here or i would have prepare better dishes" said Dayu,breaking the silence.
"It's fine.This is more than enough for me,my dear ancestor." Irene smiled.
"Oh right Dayu,i bought egg custards downstairs.Would you mind bringing those here?" asked Wang Qing.
Dayu immediately stood up and went to the kitchen.He came back within minute with a plate of egg custards and served them on the table before taking a seat.
The atmosphere turned quiet once again. Irene could sense the awkward and tense air surrounding her.
"So..i guess this is the time when you ask about what really happened that night,right?" she said,glancing over to both Dayu and Wang Qing.
"I just want to know the truth,that's all" explained Wang Qing.He is indeed an officer,always seeking for the truth.
Both Irene and Dayu looked at each other.Wang Qing took a deep breath,not sure if he's ready for the truth.
"That night you received a phone call from me right?But actually i did not physically call you,i send you a warning through telepathy.I send one to my ancestor earlier and another one to my descendant.The warning was about you"
"I am not sure if i get it" Wang Qing creased his brows.
"Telepathy is a way to communicate among immortals,but i never send one to human being.My descendant arrived earlier than that woman,he was just in time to take my ancestor away.But then i figured that her target is not my ancestor but you."
"But i am sure enough that i saw Dayu there,he was..........." Wang Qing paused.He didn't want to recall those moment.
"I was not there,it was just an image she created.It was just you and her" explained Dayu.
"A soul eaters usually hunt for immortals to take away their abilities.There aren't many but each and one of them is very powerful that we immortals are not match for them" he continued.
"Why me?I am not immortal."
Dayu and Irene took a quick glance at each other. They both hesitated for a while.
"Hmm?Is there something that i am not aware of?" asked Wang Qing.
"Only king of dragon and his descendants have the power to kill a soul eater and she probably sense that in you.Her curiosity lead to her own death"
"Huh?" Wang Qing raised his brows and widen his eyes.
"Irene is saying that you are that descendant"
"Wait..I need a moment here"
Wang Qing worked his brain,trying to make sense of what he just heard.Just how is he related to a dragon?That just does not make any sense.
"There was a rumor that a long long time ago,King of dragon went down on the ground to kill a soul eater but on his quest he fell in love with a human being.They had a son together but he had to leave a month after his child was born.The memories of him were erased from the human being.That son could be you"
The explanation continued for another hour.They all forgotten about the egg custard which turned cold after some time. Though Irene repeated her words,trying to convince him but the information was too much for Wang Qing to digest that in the end he apologize for stealing so much of her time and sent her home.
The cold egg custards were taken into the refrigerator. Wang Qing went into his room,with lots of things going on his brain. Dayu spent some time in the kitchen cleaning before he went to the room.By the time he entered,Wang Qing already had his back facing the door. Dayu carefully closed the door and walked toward the bed,trying not to make any obvious sound.
Dayu stretched his neck,looking at Wang Qing over his shoulder.His eyes were shut tight. Dayu pursued his lips.He felt sorry for his husband,to go through so many things at once surely exhausted.He climbed on the bed,pull a blanket over him and slowly closed his eyes.
"Dayu"
"Yes!" Â Dayu immediately opened his eyes,turned his head to his left.In the dim light all he could see was the back of his husband.
"Nothing make sense anymore" faint voice of Wang Qing could still be heard.
"En" replied Dayu shortly.
"It is much more complicated then what i expect it to be.But........" Wang Qing paused half way.He turned his body around,facing Dayu who had been staring at his back for some time. Wang Qing lifted up his right arm,delicately brushing the back of his hand against Dayu's cheek.
"Even if things get more complicated,you will still be by my side right?The thought of losing you scares me.When i discovered about your immortality,i thought about how you will carry on without me around.Irene has her family,her children and grandchildren but we can't  afford those.I was wondering if you will be lonely waiting for me to reincarnate but i guess it won't happen" said Wang Qing,showing his ease with a faint smile on his face.
"I......" Dayu opened his mouth but nothing came out.Not being able to express his feeling well,Dayu stared longingly at Wang Qing.
"Is being dragon descendant mean that i will live for a long time?"
The sudden question caused Dayu to let out a small chuckle.
"Yes,probably longer than i am.It also mean that you are able to command anyone by just calling their names"
"Is that so?I should be careful with names"
Dayu smiled as he nodded his head.The sight of Wang Qing's face got nearer and nearer,until finally their noses touched. They both smile bashfully. Wang Qing moved in closer,brushing his own lips against Dayu's lips. He boldly stuck out his tongue,pushing it in between Dayu's slit. Dayu who understood the sign parted his lips.His doe eyes slowly closing as they both shared passionate kisses.
They both panted,gasping for air before Wang Qing climbed on top of Dayu.Just looking at the lust look on Wang Qing's face,Dayu knew what's on his mind.
"Can i make love to you tonight?" asked Wang Qing,though he will not accept no as answer.
Dayu pressed his lips before faintly nodding his head.
The intense battle went on for a while. Wang Qing was extremely careful considering that was Dayu's first time. Though Wang Qing led a carefree life before he encountered Dayu,having lots of sex but he still struggled because that was his first time too,with a man.Holding Dayu in his arms,Wang Qing recited his vow.
------ THE END --------
Few moments later,a group of people came barging into my room.
Wang Qing : What do you mean the end? Where is the hot scene?At least properly describe the bed scene for your readers.
Dayu : Wang Qing..if she does that then i... /hides behind Wang Qing;
Qiushi : What happened to me and my boyfriend?You can't discard us /rolls his eyes;
