The Master Possessed An Innate Charm, Irresistibly Seducing His Young Disciple - Chapter 22

After two full days and nights of Li Sichen’s dedicated care, Yu Huaixin finally woke up, living up to expectations.

“Xiao Chen, I how long have I been asleep?” Yu Huaixin asked in a weak voice.

Li Sichen carefully helped him sit up and replied, “Master has been asleep for two days. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now?”

Yu Huaixin leaned his body gently into Li Sichen’s embrace, looking at him with apologetic eyes. “I have made Xiao Chen worry. Your Master feels much better now, but I need Xiao Chen to hold me a little longer. As long as Xiao Chen holds me, no matter how heavy the injury, your Master does not feel the pain anymore.”

Faced with Yu Huaixin’s sudden display of vulnerability, Li Sichen did not know how to respond. With a flushed face, he obediently tightened his hold on Yu Huaixin, his arms stiff and afraid to move carelessly.

“When Xiao Chen holds your Master, your Master is afraid of nothing Xiao Chen”

“Master, why did you sustain such heavy injuries? I woke up that day and found you gone. I could not find you anywhere.”

Li Sichen had been truly terrified that Yu Huaixin had met with disaster. He dared not imagine how helpless Yu Huaixin would be if he encountered danger. From the moment Yu Huaixin reappeared, Li Sichen’s heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled, though it was heavy with grief.

The injuries on his body were terrifyingly numerous. So many bones had been shattered that Li Sichen could not fathom how he had endured the pain to walk back on his own. Furthermore, the wound on Yu Huaixin’s neck, though gruesome, did not look like the bite of a mountain beast. It looked more like a human bite.

“Master, did you meet someone that day?”

Yu Huaixin shook his head. Regarding Li Sichen’s question, Yu Huaixin did not intend to tell the truth. At this moment, he did not know why Feng Ji remembered everything from the past. He himself had been granted a second chance at life through a deal with the King of the Underworld, but he had no idea how Feng Ji had retained his memories.

If he confessed everything about Feng Ji to Li Sichen now, Yu Huaixin could not guarantee how many unexpected variables might arise. Thinking of this, Yu Huaixin decisively wrapped his arms around Li Sichen’s neck and rested his head on Li Sichen’s shoulder, feigning extreme weakness.

“I did not see anyone. When your Master woke up, it was already like this. Xiao Chen, believe me,” Yu Huaixin said to Li Sichen with great sincerity.

Li Sichen believed him without question, especially given Yu Huaixin’s firm and earnest attitude.

“Then, Master, you”

“Hiss Xiao Chen, your Master’s head hurts so much. Can Xiao Chen rub it for me again?” Yu Huaixin looked at him with large, watery eyes.

Li Sichen suffered instant memory loss. He wondered what he was just about to ask him.

“Xiao Chen”

Li Sichen thought he would ask next time as Yu Huaixin must be exhausted. Heartaching for Yu Huaixin’s haggard and pitiful state, Li Sichen immediately began massaging Yu Huaixin’s head, asking softly, “Does it still hurt now?”

Yu Huaixin smiled and denied it. Suddenly, Yu Huaixin lifted his head from Li Sichen’s shoulder, shifted his posture, and lay down on the bed. He turned to face Li Sichen and rested his head gently on Li Sichen’s lap.

Li Sichen’s body went instantly rigid. Because Yu Huaixin’s face was directly facing him, he wondered if the other felt that anything was inappropriate.

“Xiao Chen, what is wrong? Are you tired?” Yu Huaixin asked.

“No, I am not. I will keep massaging your head.”

Yu Huaixin closed his eyes and peacefully enjoyed Li Sichen’s service. After the head was finished, it was the shoulders; after the shoulders, the arms; then the back, and finally the legs. The full service was complete. Yu Huaixin was so comfortable that he unexpectedly fell asleep on Li Sichen’s lap.

Li Sichen felt his legs go numb, but he could not bring himself to wake him. He thought that as they were cultivators, he could probably reattach his legs if they fell off, so it was not a big deal.

With that thought, Li Sichen lowered his head to carefully observe Yu Huaixin’s sleeping face. Seeing that Yu Huaixin’s pale lips finally had a healthy color, a smile of relief finally appeared on Li Sichen’s lips.

Yu Huaixin’s hair was white, and his eyelashes were white too. In reality, such features might not fit everyone’s aesthetic, but Yu Huaixin was the exception. This hair color seemed as though it were born for him, pure and without a single impurity. It was this lofty, unattainable quality that made Li Sichen fear he might defile him every time he reached out to touch him.

Even though Li Sichen himself was not bad looking, respect and adoration in the heart are never dictated by appearance alone. After a long internal struggle, Li Sichen finally gathered the courage to carefully touch Yu Huaixin’s snow white eyelashes with his thumb.

The thumb lightly brushed the edge of the lashes, and the eyelashes fluttered playfully. The sensation of the lashes sweeping against his thumb was strange and wonderful. Li Sichen felt as though his heart were being tickled. He pulled his hand back with a red face. Looking at the sleeping profile, he reached out again, wanting to touch the corner of Yu Huaixin’s eye.

Just as Li Sichen’s hand touched that spot, Yu Huaixin opened his eyes. Li Sichen froze and awkwardly pulled his hand back.

“Is Xiao Chen secretly doing something bad?” Yu Huaixin asked. While his words suggested suspicion, there was not even a hint of blame in his voice.

Li Sichen understood him. Even if he were truly doing something bad, Yu Huaixin would never reproach him. With Yu Huaixin, it was as if he were born with a special privilege; no matter how big a mistake he made, he would always be absolved of guilt.

“It is nothing. If you have not slept enough, sleep a while longer. This time I am by your side. I promise that no one will bully you.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes,” Li Sichen answered with absolute certainty. At this moment, he had not yet realized the gravity of the situation.

Yu Huaixin sat up and suddenly moved his face close to Li Sichen’s, gazing into his eyes at close range. He spoke word by word, “Then, will Xiao Chen bully me?”

Li Sichen felt shy and nervous. He wondered if he had been discovered secretly touching just now.

Yu Huaixin continued, “If you want to bully me, then do so. Your Master is willing to be bullied by Xiao Chen.”

“Master, you cannot say such things lightly.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.” Such words would make him think of other meanings. They would make him unable to stop himself from thinking too much, from craving and hoping that he could truly have him. But Li Sichen knew that these were all dreams, like the moon in the water. Between himself and Yu Huaixin, it was ultimately impossible. Since it was impossible, he should not entertain so many useless thoughts.

Li Sichen was thinking this firmly when, suddenly, he felt a soft sensation. Yu Huaixin leaned forward and pressed a light kiss on Li Sichen’s lips.

Li Sichen was stunned. He wondered if he had just been kissed. He stared blankly at Yu Huaixin, only to find that Yu Huaixin was smiling at him gently, as if kissing him was the most natural thing in the world. The problem was, they did not usually kiss.

Li Sichen reasonably suspected that Yu Huaixin did not know what a kiss represented. He explained solemnly, “Master, we are master and disciple. This is something we cannot do. Only a husband and wife can do this.” Even though he truly wanted to be kissed.

Then, he heard Yu Huaixin’s explosive reply.

“Then Xiao Chen, are you willing to be your Master’s wife?”

Yu Huaixin gazed at him with sparkling eyes. Li Sichen tried to endure it, but he was not a saint. To endure from beginning to end was something no normal person could do.

Li Sichen finally decided not to endure any longer. Since there was no escape, he would face it. Thinking about it, it probably was not so bad.
