After the Stand-in Hugged the White Moonlight's Thigh Tightly - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Crying and Rushing into Senior Brother’s Arms

Song Chenxi stood against the light, holding his longsword at the doorway. Seeing the scene inside the room, his beautiful face was frighteningly cold.

He wasted no words, immediately throwing his longsword straight at Gong Lingdeng’s chest.

Gong Lingdeng was forced to sidestep and dodge. The flying sword instantly began to fight with him.

At this moment, Gong Lingdeng had no time to worry about Ruan Mingyu. Ruan Mingyu took the opportunity to run toward Song Chenxi, though his clothes were loose and disheveled, revealing a large part of his chest.

He ran all the way and threw himself into Song Chenxi’s arms.

Feeling the person’s body heat in his embrace, Song Chenxi was clearly stunned but didn’t push him away.

The other people of the Joyful Union Sect also swarmed around. Now, the best plan was to beat a hasty retreat.

Song Chenxi held Ruan Mingyu, pulled out talismans, and scattered them toward the crowd surrounding him. He quickly left the place with Ruan Mingyu.

Song Chenxi initially wanted to fly away with Ruan Mingyu, ideally returning to the sect immediately, but Ruan Mingyu started acting strangely.

He could feel the person in his arms growing hotter, clinging tightly to his waist and refusing to let go, even pressing his face against his chest.

Song Chenxi shouted softly: “What are you doing? Behave!”

Ruan Mingyu acted as if he had taken the wrong medicine, leaning in and gently kissing his lips.

Song Chenxi was momentarily thrown into confusion, unable to continue controlling his flying tool.

The two of them plummeted straight down from the air, crashing onto the ground.

Ruan Mingyu’s gaze toward Song Chenxi had completely changed.

He straddled Song Chenxi, looking at him with hazy eyes. His voice was soft and sweet, like a piece of candy in his mouth. He said: “Senior Brother, help me…”

Song Chenxi clamped his chin: “This is the second time you’ve asked for my help.”

Ruan Mingyu leaned on his chest, his cheeks flushed, his eyes unfocused, burying his head in Song Chenxi’s neck. He was clearly not in a normal state.

Song Chenxi probably understood. He cursed under his breath: “That wretch actually dared to feed you medicine! I should have chopped off his two bits of flesh just now!”

Ruan Mingyu’s long eyelashes were wet with tears. With only Song Chenxi nearby, he could only seek his help: “Senior Brother, I’m so uncomfortable.”

Song Chenxi’s breathing became heavy: “Ruan Mingyu, are you making me as uncomfortable as you are? You heartless bastard…”

Song Chenxi was quickly unable to speak. Ruan Mingyu, tormented by the drug, no longer cared about anything else. He cupped Song Chenxi’s face and kissed him passionately. Still feeling it wasn’t enough, he stuck out his tongue and licked Song Chenxi’s lips, then went even further, aggressively pushing forward.

The hot breath of the other person was exchanged between their lips and teeth. Ruan Mingyu was the one who took the medicine, yet Song Chenxi felt himself becoming hot as well.

Song Chenxi pushed his head away: “Ruan Mingyu, don’t regret this. I’m very petty. If you dare to play with me, I will lock you up and won’t give you a chance like Shen Yanyuan did.”

“Senior Brother, why won’t you let me kiss you?” Ruan Mingyu felt wronged. His eyes were intense and clingy, easily making one fall into them.

“Senior Brother…” He continued to call out sweetly and affectionately.

Song Chenxi cursed silently: “You’re just trying to seduce me!”

Ruan Mingyu must have come to take revenge on him, otherwise, why was his heart beating so fast?

Song Chenxi made no further move.

Ruan Mingyu persisted, wrapping his arms around Song Chenxi’s neck and rubbing against him. He didn’t know why he was doing this, only that it made him feel better.

Song Chenxi was at the peak of his youth and vigor. Noticing the reaction Ruan Mingyu was causing him, his voice became hoarse: “Don’t move around.”

Ruan Mingyu’s hands rested on his chest. Ignoring his words, he took liberties, playing with the long hair on his chest.

Song Chenxi grabbed his hand: “Do you really want this?”

Ruan Mingyu’s mind was blank. All he wanted was intimate contact, as if he suffered from skin hunger. He grabbed Song Chenxi’s hand and pressed his feverish cheek against his palm.

He kissed Song Chenxi’s palm, looking at him sideways: “What doesn’t Senior Brother want?”

Song Chenxi felt a scorching heat in his palm, which burned all the way to his heart. His eyes darkened. He grasped Ruan Mingyu’s waist, reversed their positions, and pinned him underneath.

Ruan Mingyu looked up at him, licked his lips, and smiled faintly, as if he was fine with anything Song Chenxi wanted to do.

Song Chenxi was lost in his gaze. As if enchanted, he lowered his head, thinking, just this once…

He held Ruan Mingyu’s restless hands and gently kissed his lips. Unlike the last time, which was purely for revenge, this time he genuinely wanted to kiss him. Their breaths intertwined, inseparable.

Just then, Ruan Mingyu called out: “Senior Brother…”

Song Chenxi suddenly awoke from his trance and violently shook his head. He was a young man experiencing his first awakening of love and didn’t yet understand why he was reacting this way. Only confusion remained in his eyes. However, the wetness on his lips clearly betrayed what they had just done.

He abruptly picked Ruan Mingyu up horizontally and walked forward.

Ruan Mingyu was still tormented by the drug, his body weak, clinging tightly to Song Chenxi.

Song Chenxi walked silently toward the pond ahead. The next moment, he tossed Ruan Mingyu into the pond with a ‘splash’!

The cold water in the middle of winter soaked him. The bone-chilling cold penetrated to his core. Ruan Mingyu’s vision went black. Forget about any romantic thoughts; he was losing consciousness.

Song Chenxi stood on the bank and immediately pulled the drenched Ruan Mingyu out.

“Are you awake?”

Ruan Mingyu was thrown in so suddenly that his mind was in a fog, completely blank. He cursed: “Who is so wicked as to throw me into the pond!”

Song Chenxi’s face flushed red and then pale: “You don’t remember?”

Ruan Mingyu looked confused: “What happened?”

Song Chenxi gritted his teeth: “If you say you don’t remember, then you don’t!”

Ruan Mingyu: “I really can’t remember. Tell me!”

Song Chenxi spoke sarcastically: “Forget it if you can’t remember!”

Ruan Mingyu thought he was acting crazy again. Yet, he was so cold that he couldn’t stop shaking and shivering.

Song Chenxi performed a small spell to dry his clothes, then took off his own outer robe and draped it over him. After that, he lit a fire.

After sitting and warming himself by the fire for a while, Ruan Mingyu felt better. His jammed brain slowly recovered, and his temporarily forgotten memories instantly returned.

The images kept replaying in his head, and Ruan Mingyu’s face immediately flushed crimson.

Goddamn it! How could he do such a thing to Song Chenxi!

He hugged his head, wishing he could drill into the ground immediately.

How was he going to face Song Chenxi in the future! It was so goddamn embarrassing!

Song Chenxi sat aside, watching Ruan Mingyu hug his head like a madman, nearly smashing it into the ground.

Song Chenxi asked deliberately: “Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Ruan Mingyu: “No… no, I’m not feeling unwell anywhere.”

Song Chenxi: “In that case, we should leave immediately before they catch up to us.”

Ruan Mingyu nodded. Just as he was about to get up, the drug started to take effect again. A gasp escaped his lips. He quickly covered his mouth.

He felt weak all over and reached for Song Chenxi’s arm. Song Chenxi turned to look at him: “What is it now?”

Ruan Mingyu’s ears were red: “Can you throw me into the pond one more time?”

Song Chenxi, who was just unhappy that Ruan Mingyu had amnesia, now flushed and said: “You… remembered?”

Ruan Mingyu immediately denied it: “No!”

Song Chenxi: “Then why do you want to go in? For a winter swim?”

The drug was starting to take over again. Ruan Mingyu hugged Song Chenxi and buried his head in his neck: “Help me…”

Song Chenxi’s heart skipped a beat.

Ruan Mingyu forced himself to endure and asked: “Isn’t there any antidote?”

“There is a medicine, for clearing the mind and curbing desires,” Song Chenxi thought for a moment and said: “But I’m afraid it might cause problems if you take it.”

Ruan Mingyu shook his head: “Then I absolutely can’t take it. If I do, I won’t be able to get a wife.”

Song Chenxi was displeased to hear that and mocked with cold eyes: “You still want to get a wife?”

What did he mean by that! Did he think he wasn’t capable of getting a wife?

He clung to Song Chenxi’s waist like an octopus, forcing Song Chenxi to maintain this position. He then conjured a water bag for him: “Take this.”

Ruan Mingyu pressed his burning face against it and felt a little better. He kept glancing at Song Chenxi. He truly didn’t want to act this way, but he couldn’t control himself. After rushing into Song Chenxi’s arms again, he said, crying: “Senior Brother, the medicine.”

Song Chenxi, who was an expert at annoying people, asked: “You’re not getting a wife anymore?”

Ruan Mingyu, teary-eyed: “No, I’m not.” The old man Three Purities said he wouldn’t live long anyway. No wife, no wife!

“Are you sure you want to take it?” Song Chenxi asked again, letting him decide.

Ruan Mingyu was afraid of stripping Song Chenxi’s clothes off, so he hurriedly nodded.

Song Chenxi divided the pill into quarters and fed it to Ruan Mingyu.

After taking it, Ruan Mingyu instantly felt clear-headed and much more comfortable. Song Chenxi was really something. Why didn’t he take out this medicine sooner?

Song Chenxi frowned: “This medicine has severe side effects. You need to drink more water right away to reduce the medicinal effect.”

Ruan Mingyu was nonchalant: “It’s fine. I feel much better.”

Soon, Ruan Mingyu couldn’t say those words anymore. The side effects of the medicine gradually started. His tears became uncontrollable.

Song Chenxi quickly gave him water.

Just moments ago, he was tormented by lust. Now, Ruan Mingyu suddenly lost all desire and felt an urge to die.

His small sadness was amplified infinitely. His first twenty years had been smooth sailing, with almost no setbacks. He was the legendary “child of someone else’s family” since childhood, starting university at sixteen. His parents barely worried about his studies. Moreover, as the youngest child, his parents doted on him since he was little. Ruan Mingyu had never suffered much. Yet, in this place, he lived in constant fear. Most importantly, he felt very lonely. He didn’t realize it when he had Aunt Man’s company back home, but once on the mountain, he discovered he truly only had himself.

The wind by the pond was strong, stinging Ruan Mingyu’s cheeks. Tears flowed continuously, only to be constantly dried by the wind.

Song Chenxi took out a preserved fruit from his clothes. He had never comforted anyone before, let alone spoken gentle words. He was truly put on the spot now. He could only lower his voice and say: “Stop crying.”

Ruan Mingyu looked at him blankly with his bloodshot eyes. Song Chenxi placed the preserved fruit in his hand.

He said: “Ruan Mingyu, I’ll take you back. Stop crying.”

Ruan Mingyu put the preserved fruit in his mouth. A sour and sweet taste instantly filled his mouth. After an unknown amount of time, when the wind stopped, Ruan Mingyu also stopped crying.

He stood up and said: “Senior Brother, let’s go.”

Just then, an angry voice sounded: “Go? Do you think you can still leave?”
