FRIVOLOUS SNOW

08|Boiled Eggs

Yong Jie heard that Yao Xue's room was located at the back of his room and he gathered some information about Yao Xue from Ah Yi.

Yong Jie learned that Yao Xue was almost the same as the old Yong Jie. Lives in seclusion and doesn't talk that much too but not as cold as Yong Jie.

Yong Jie didn't forget his jade ornament this time and walked to Yao Xue's room. He knocked three times without announcing his visit and only waited for Yao Xue to open. He knew he was there because he saw him went inside.

Yong Jie smiled when he heard the door creaked opened and saw Yao Xue in his glorious white robe. Somehow, he wanted to get attached to someone like Yao Xue.

"If it isn't Third brother Jie." Yao Xue said and bowed to him making Yong Jie gasped and feeling foolish for forgetting to greet.

Yong Jie bowed also. "I would like to apologize back at the hall for causing quite a small commotion." He grinned and Yao Xue just looked at him. "I only want to express a warm welcome to brother Yao Xue."

"Yao Xue thanks third brother Jie." Yao Xue said. "Please excuse me."

Yao Xue took some rest from his two straight days of travel. Yong Jie spends the rest of the day with Ah Yi running a few errands and training but mostly, Yong Jie would only slack off.

He went back to his room when dusk arrived and decided to take a soak on the hot spring. Ah Yi said that one of the reasons why the old Yong Jie loves the location of his bedchamber was it was near a secluded hot spring and everyone in the palace knew that Yong Jie made the hot spring as his private one so no one would dare to take a soak there except for Yong Jie. If someone wanted to take a soak to the hot springs, there are a lot of hot springs surrounding the area.

Yong Jie groaned and was excited to take a soak and from the distance, someone was already there before him and seems like that someone doesn't know about that hot spring as Yong Jie's private use only.

Yong Jie didn't really mind at all. After all, Yao Xue was a visitor.

Yao Xue was facing his back to him with his wet long black hair sticking on his back. His skin was as white as what his name means. Yong Jie hadn't realized that he was staring too long that Yao Xue felt a chill run down his spine.

Yao Xue was enjoying the hot spring. Ah Chun was true about Dasha's wonderful hot spring. Yao Xue suddenly felt bothered feeling as if someone was staring at his back. He turned his head and rolled his eyes to the one who was looking at him.

It was Yong Jie.

They said Yong Jie forgot his memories and doesn't act like how he used to anymore. He turned into a new man who doesn't know anything about the world and the Second brother Yi somehow adored this Third brother Jie now.

Yao Xue finds the old Yong Jie annoying and now, he also finds this new Yong Jie more annoying.

Yong Jie was in a panic when Yao Xue caught him staring. "I—I wasn't trying to act like a peeping Tom here." He chuckled nervously as he walked and started on removing his clothes.

Yao Xue turned around not wanting to see Yong Jie acting boldly. Stripping down in front of anyone.

"Is brother Yao Xue feeling shy?" Yong Jie chuckled as he dipped his foot, testing the waters and he wasn't expecting it was that hot that he cried and lost his balance. Yong Jie fell on the boiling water making him shout like he was being murdered by the hot water.

"My balls!" Yong Jie continued to scream. "It's going to get boiled!" As he regained his balance, Yong Jie stood and jumped like crazy only for Yao Xue to turn and check the screaming Yong Jie.

Yao Xue hadn't seen a more disgusting image than that scene before him. Not with the most respected Third brother of the Yong Sect. Yong Jie was jumping in the hot spring with his nakedness, his manhood bouncing like crazy making his blood boiled inside Yao Xue.

He wanted to knock Yong Jie and drown him right there.

"What happened to the crane who used to be standing among a flock of chickens?" Yao Xue shook his head in disappointment.

"Yao Xue, I heard that." Yong Jie said and Yao Xue swam away from him.

Yong Jie took forever before he got used to the hot water just when Yao Xue stood up and went out of the hot spring.

Yong Jie felt like he was reborn after soaking in the hot spring. He sat on the veranda in front of his room and looked at the full moon shining brightly. Suddenly, he wanted to go up to the roof as he looks at the moon.

Yong Jie jumped down and walked to where the tree that he used to climb up to the roof on the first day.

He silently climbs the tree and walked to the roof with caution since the tiles were slippery. He walked until he reached the roof in front of his room where he first saw Yao Xue standing.

Yong Jie sat down and stared at the moon for a while until he was sleepy. He sat up straight when he heard the sounds of someone also walking on the tiles. He turned his head and saw Yao Xue looking so beautiful in his angelic robes.

"Yao Xue!" Yong Jie called as he waved his hand like a kid and stood up to walk towards Yao Xue when his foot slipped from the tile causing him to he sucked his breath in surprise.

He was going to fall.

Yong Jie could only quack in shock as he rolled down the roof like a log. He was holding his breath waiting for his fall.

Yao Xue seeing Yong Jie lost his footing, his instinct immediately told him to move and flew towards Yong Jie and catch his falling body.

Two bodies in white robes rolled on the ground outside the gates of Yong Sect. Yong Jie could only cling to the person's body that saved him and Yao Xue was protecting Yong Jie's head with his hand and pulling him closer to his body.

Yong Jie found himself on top of Yao Xue and somehow, his lips were sealing Yao Xue's lips in an awkward position with Yao Xue's hand cupping the back of his head.

They were both stunned of what just happened.
