FRIVOLOUS SNOW

18|Childhood Friend

Yong Jie as he promised to Yao Xue, trained so hard so he could match Yao Xue's strength when they see each other again. No one knows when but he was sure they would since the cultivator's world weren't that big and their sects were in good terms too.

Yong Jie learned everything he needed to learn since his body would respond without him noticing. It seems like the old body remembers every move.

Yong Jie stayed up all at night seating on the roof while watching the moon. It reminds him of someone he knows. He couldn't help but chuckled recalling those things that only the moon and the stars at night were the witnesses.

"Yao Xue. Young Master Yao Xue." He muttered and sighed. Somehow, he couldn't forget that cold face in his mind as if Yao Xue was permanently sculpted in his brain.

Yong Jie was planning on visiting Xueguo too but sect leader Qiang refuses with those excuses that he just recovered and he needs to train first.

Maybe Yao Xue wouldn't stop bothering him in his mind because he didn't have interactions with any woman ever since he arrived in that world. Yao Xue had the face of what Yao Jie's type of woman. Maybe if he could find someone to talk to or maybe do more, he would stop thinking about Yao Xue.

"Yong Jie!"

Yong Jie was startled when he heard an angry voice as if he just voiced out his thoughts of finding a woman.

He turned his head around and his eyes went wide as well as his breathing went shallow when he saw a white robe as white as snow, he slowly rolled his eyes upward, savoring the beautiful figure slowly revealing before him. Seeing the familiar white jade tassel and the white sword that compliments his robe hanging on his sash.

He was close to convulsion as his gaze was slowly rising up to the face when Yong Jie heard a loud knock. Everything went black and instead of seeing the face that he longed to see again, Yong Jie saw a ceiling.

"Motherfucker!" He exclaimed as he pulled the quilt up to his head and rolled in annoyance, as he closed his eyes and tried to go back to sleep. Yong Jie wouldn't mind if it was only a dream.

Just once!

But he couldn't go back to his dream so he just sobbed silently inside the quilt.

"Just f*****g once!" He cried as he heard another knock from the door.

"Third brother Jie! Are you awake?" Yong Yi called.

Yong Jie glared at the screen, his eyes seeing through the screen and stopped at the door where he could hear Yong Yi.

Yong Jie didn't answer instead, he stomped his feet furiously as he marched to his wardrobe.

"Brother Jie, guess who's here to visit you early in the morning?" Yong Yi cheerfully said.

Yong Jie's heart skipped a beat while he was slipping the robe on his arms. Someone was visiting him? His heart started pounding inside his chest.

"I am still changing. Please tell the visitor to wait for a moment."

Maybe his dream was a sign!

Yong Jie hurriedly and properly dressed. He groomed his hair well and he breathed as he opened the door with his shaking hands, trying to control himself not to rush out and threw himself to Yao Xue.

Yong Jie stepped out of his room murmuring, "A year only passed and you miss me this much already." He grinned and turned to the visitor Yong Yi was presenting.

Yong Jie was frozen on the ground when he saw who.

"What a year only passed? Zi Xin has been away for three years. Zi Xin heard of Third brother's accident and is afraid that Third brother forgot about Xiao Zi Xin."

Instead of seeing Yao Xue, Yong Jie saw a beautiful young maiden in a pink robe. Her rosy cheeks complement her bashful appearance and feminine action.

Zi Xin. A son of a close friend of Yong Sect leader Qiang, Zi Sun and the childhood friend of the Yong sect's three brothers. Zi Xin went to Nan Jiang country where Zi Sun's wife, Zi Quin, birthplace. They lived and mourned there for three years after the passing of the house leader and now, their dear childhood friend was back in Dashan.

Zi Xin smiled sweetly as he saluted to Yong Jie.

Zi Xin was still the same as what Yong Jie's last memories could recall of the man. Yes, a man. It was a sin being a man and having the traits and appearance of a woman and Zi Xin fancied wearing robes in bright colors, mostly pastel colors especially pink. Everyone who doesn't recognize or knows him would think that Zi Xin is a lady.

Zi Xin was shy even when they were young that Zi Xin was always the subject of bully among the brothers especially Yong Xian and only Yong Jie would protect Zi Xin after bullying him and felt guilty about it.

Zi Xin's ladylike features worriedly looked at Yong Jie.

"Ah Jie, Zi Xin, upon arrival went hurriedly here to see Third brother first, it's just that I bumped into him Xiao Xin at the hall and escorted him here." Yong Yi said.

Zi Xin adored Yong Jie because, for him, Yong Jie was his "knight in shining armor" especially against his eternal bully, Yong Xian.

"Yes, Xiao Jie." Zi Xin said and Yong Jie smiled.

Zi Xin didn't expect that smile attack that he almost tumbled down on the floor if Yong Yi wasn't there to support his back.

"I know. I know. I feel you." Yong Yi whispered.

Yong Jie saluted and Zi Xin wanted to pull him to stand back straight.

"Third brother Yong Jie is pleased to finally meet—see Xiao Zi Xin again after three years. Yong Jie is glad to see that our Zi Xin is back in Dashan and is doing well."

"Xiao Jie, no need for the salute and don't talk like weren't familiar with each other. We just hadn't seen each other for three years. It's not like something changed." He shyly said.

"We should cope up with those years we were apart." Yong Jie said and Zi Xin was surprised.

Yong Jie would never say anything like that but Zi Xin already heard about what happened and seems like he also agreed at what Yong Yi said. That this Yong Jie now was nice and better than the Yong Jie before who was cold he could freeze a desert.

"Yes! Yes! Zi Xin would love that, Ah Jie!" Zi Xin excitedly exclaimed and wanted to hug Yong Jie.

"Now, we should also call elder brother Xian." Yong Jie said and Zi Xin's beautiful face twisted in disgust upon hearing Yong Xian's name.

"So he's still alive?" Zi Xin bitterly muttered.

Yong Jie just laughed.
