After the Stand-in Hugged the White Moonlight's Thigh Tightly - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: “A Very Pure Senior Brother-Junior Brother Relationship”……

Ruan Mingyu’s initial purpose was to feed Song Chenxi the medicine, but after all that, the pill was still in his hand.

He was a little annoyed. He angrily shoved the pill into Song Chenxi’s hand.

“Eat it yourself.”

Song Chenxi smiled and swallowed the pill.

“So sweet.”

Ruan Mingyu felt like his face was on fire. It was all Song Chenxi’s fault. How else would he have ended up like this? He really wanted to be alone right now. He wasn’t entirely sure about his feelings for Song Chenxi. He didn’t dislike him, but it seemed to fall a bit short of “liking” him.

Truthfully, he didn’t even dare to meet Song Chenxi’s eyes now. Song Chenxi seemed to know what he was thinking. He grabbed Ruan Mingyu’s chin, insisting on pressing him, forcing him to look directly at him.

“Ruan Mingyu, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Blame yourself for provoking me in the first place.”

Ruan Mingyu lowered his eyes: “I…”

Song Chenxi, his eyes dark, stroked Ruan Mingyu’s face: “Do you want to renege? Or were you lying to me before?”

His other hand was resting on the sword at his waist. It looked like he might stab someone if he was in a bad mood. Ruan Mingyu flinched, startled. He immediately pulled himself together and, against his will, said: “Why would I lie to you?” In his heart, he was filled with regret. He wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to say something that made Song Chenxi think he was interested in him? How could he escape now?

Song Chenxi then smiled: “I knew Mingyu wouldn’t lie to me.”

He seemed to suddenly think of something, narrowing his eyes: “However, I can’t tolerate any impurity. Shen Yanyuan wasn’t enough, and now there’s Gong Lingdeng. In the future, I don’t want any other person to have contact with you. And you must not associate with those wretches from before. If I find out, I’ll break their legs.”

Song Chenxi was always moody, but Ruan Mingyu was used to it. He felt that after spending so much time with him, he was also starting to resemble a lunatic. He was even relieved to hear him say he would break their legs instead of his own.

Song Chenxi scoffed lightly: “Ruan Ruan, isn’t that right?”

Hearing that nickname, Ruan Mingyu’s scalp tingled.

He gave an awkward laugh: “I don’t really like that nickname. Just call me by my name.”

Song Chenxi eyed him with a smiling gaze: “Alright, Little Sparrow.”

Ruan Mingyu: “…”

He had been so severely injured just now, yet now his complexion looked much rosier. This recovery speed was so miraculous that even Hua Tuo would call it a wonder!

Ruan Mingyu asked: “Senior Brother, should we go back now?”

Song Chenxi nodded. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly said, as if a thought occurred to him: “I’m still injured. Please trouble Mingyu to carry me back on his sword.”

Ruan Mingyu gasped: “Ah! Senior Brother, you know my sword-riding skills. I absolutely cannot carry anyone.”

Song Chenxi: “With me steering, what are you afraid of?”

Ruan Mingyu had no choice. He could only share a sword with him and fly back to the Seven Stars Sect.

Song Chenxi leaned on his shoulder and acted nervously the entire time. Ruan Mingyu’s sword flew crookedly under his feet, yet Song Chenxi kept complimenting his excellent control. Then, he asked if Ruan Mingyu wanted to move in with him, which Ruan Mingyu refused without thinking.

Song Chenxi then asked him what he liked. Before Ruan Mingyu could answer, Song Chenxi said, “You like spirit stones. I’ll give you my spatial ring when we get back. All the spirit stones I’ve saved over the years are yours.”

This was the first time someone offered him money, and instead of joy, Ruan Mingyu felt worry.

Then Song Chenxi added: “I’ll give you half first. I’ll save the other half to arrange our Dao Companion Ceremony.”

Ruan Mingyu nearly lost his footing and fell from the air when he heard that. Fortunately, Song Chenxi held onto him, preventing him from falling and becoming a disabled sparrow.

Seeing his reaction, Song Chenxi said: “Are you as excited as I am?”

Hearing that, Ruan Mingyu felt like dying. He forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes: “Excited. Excited enough to die.”

…

The first thing Ruan Mingyu did after returning was go down the mountain to check on his spirit field. When he arrived, he saw that all the herbs were alive and well. Ruan Mingyu was overjoyed. Once this batch of herbs matured, he wouldn’t have to spend a fortune buying materials anymore, saving a significant amount of money.

“Yueya, you’re truly amazing!”

Yueya put her hands on her hips and said, “Of course, I’m great at everything I do. You still haven’t given me the spirit stones you promised!”

Ruan Mingyu pulled a packet from his pocket and generously handed it to her: “This is your pay for the whole year. It should be more than enough.”

“Where’s your man?” Yueya asked. “Can you ask him to send a message to Zhao Ziping for me? Tell him that I’m incredibly powerful now and can manage the spirit field all by myself.”

Ruan Mingyu quickly interrupted: “Stop! We have a very pure Senior Brother-Junior Brother relationship.”

Besides, Zhao Ziping’s soul had already dissipated. How could he send him a message?

Ruan Mingyu pondered for a moment, then said: “If you really miss him, go buy some incense, candles, and paper money. Burn them and tell him what you want to say. Maybe he’ll receive it that way.”

“Really?” Yueya asked. She was an old demon who had lived for hundreds of years, yet her eyes were so innocent.

Ruan Mingyu paused, then nodded.

The deceased are gone. It’s better for the living to be happy.

Yueya showed a very sad smile: “Hmm, I’ll burn paper money for him tonight.”

…

Returning to the sect, Ruan Mingyu noticed that a lot had changed in just a few months. The sect looked renovated. All the buildings, big and small, were brightly colored, as if freshly painted, and the place was very clean.

Furthermore, on Yuan Terrace Peak, his Master, who was notoriously stingy, actually forked out money to build another house.

There were also more people in the sect. Many disciples from other sects, dressed in various colorful and vibrant robes, were wandering around the paths. The Seven Stars Sect had become indistinguishable from a large market.

Seeing Ruan Mingyu return, Ji Ying put down her embroidery. Instead of greeting him, she went to the adjacent room to call Cen Tao out. Cen Tao was pleasantly surprised to see Ruan Mingyu: “You’ve returned from your travels! How was traveling alone?”

“Traveling?” Wait, when did I say that?

The Senior Sister pulled out a letter. Ruan Mingyu took it and saw that the letter stated he was going to travel around and told his fellow disciples not to worry about him.

Ruan Mingyu gritted his teeth and crumpled the letter. Gong Lingdeng, that cunning fellow!

“Did you come back for the Immortal Gate Grand Competition?” Senior Sister asked.

Ruan Mingyu shook his head.

The Immortal Gate Grand Competition was mainly a martial arts competition. Although there were pill refining contests for alchemists, the rewards weren’t great, so Ruan Mingyu hadn’t signed up. Furthermore, the competition only allowed refining specific pills. Starting a furnace takes at least several months. He didn’t want to waste time refining pills he wouldn’t use.

Logically, something important should happen during such a crucial event as the Immortal Gate Grand Competition. Ruan Mingyu tried hard to recall the plot in the book. What happened during this time? After thinking for a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering that Song Chenxi would be love-struck by someone at first sight, who would then relentlessly pursue him and successfully get together with him.

Ruan Mingyu was struggling to get rid of Song Chenxi. Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?

No sooner said than done. He headed towards the mountain where Song Chenxi lived. Before he even arrived, he heard the sound of a sword being wielded.

Song Chenxi was practicing his sword. His stance was agile, and he moved like a shooting star chasing the moon.

Seeing Ruan Mingyu arrive, Song Chenxi stopped his movements and walked towards him.

He didn’t hold back, immediately embracing him.

“What, did you miss me?”

“…”

Ruan Mingyu felt a bit awkward. This was far too intimate. And it had only been three days. Miss him?

Seeing Ruan Mingyu not respond, Song Chenxi’s eyes immediately changed.

Ruan Mingyu steeled his heart and nodded.

“Yes, I missed you.”

Song Chenxi immediately curved his lips, leaning in to say: “Kiss me. No one else is here anyway.”

Ruan Mingyu thought: Help! I don’t really want to date him!

Song Chenxi took his silence as consent, tilted his head slightly, and kissed him.

Ruan Mingyu was caught off guard by the kiss and froze, unsure how to react. Then he thought, If he wants to kiss, let him. I won’t lose a piece of flesh.

However, the other party was completely unrestrained. Once he started, he couldn’t stop.

Ruan Mingyu pushed Song Chenxi away, panting: “Stop. Someone might come soon.”

Song Chenxi: “How can anyone else be here? This is where I live.” But he still let go of Ruan Mingyu.

Ruan Mingyu finally stated the purpose of his visit, asking him: “Senior Brother, you’ll definitely participate in the Sect Grand Competition this time, right?”

“Why are you asking?” Song Chenxi said.

Ruan Mingyu’s eyes darted around: “I’m… just concerned about you. I heard there are many young talents. If you compete, maybe your cultivation will increase.”

“Young talents?” Song Chenxi sneered softly. “That probably has nothing to do with you.”

“…” Why is his focus so bizarre?

Ruan Mingyu was bewildered. He held Song Chenxi’s hand and immediately put on an expectant expression: “I just really want to see Senior Brother’s graceful appearance on the stage.”

Hearing his words, Song Chenxi’s eyes curved into crescent moons. He flicked Ruan Mingyu’s nose: “Good, I will definitely go.”

Since he had achieved his goal, Ruan Mingyu immediately wanted to leave: “Then I won’t disturb your practice.”

Before his foot could even step away, Song Chenxi grabbed his hand and said: “No disturbance. Stay and keep me company.”

Ruan Mingyu: “…”

Song Chenxi raised an eyebrow: “Unwilling?”

Ruan Mingyu was intimidated by his authority: “Extremely… extremely willing…”

Ruan Mingyu sat on the side, watching him practice his sword in misery. He himself had no interest in this whatsoever. Watching him practice felt like doing math problems.

As he watched, he started to doze off. He used to be very sleepy, but after his Master’s treatment, this symptom rarely appeared. Why was it recurring now?

Ruan Mingyu was almost burying his head in his knees. A pair of hands cupped his head.

Song Chenxi woke him up: “Go back and sleep. I won’t force you to stay.”

Ruan Mingyu rubbed his eyes and nodded. If I ever have insomnia, I’ll just come to Song Chenxi’s place and watch him practice his sword. I’ll probably fall asleep in less than an hour.

Song Chenxi seemed to be in a very good mood. Before Ruan Mingyu left, he kissed him on the cheek.

“I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Ruan Mingyu fled as if escaping. Why is this endless? Do I really have to date him?
