FRIVOLOUS SNOW

44|Drunk

Yong Jie and Yao Xue stumbled into some corpses turned into demons on their way. They were still in Xiāng Liao and Yong Xian decided to stay in the previous city they passed to do his errand while Yong Jie and Yao Xue moved forward.

The number of turned corpses wasn't worth alarming. A lot of them were roaming everywhere in the world and they were one of the kinds of turned demons who were less aggressive but Yong Jie and Yao Xue didn't let the corpses walk around.

Yong Jie effortlessly let Qing fly out of its sheath and charged to the corpses while Yao Xue manually took down the corpses, severing its head neatly like a professional human butcher if ever one exists.

Yong Jie felt tired when dusk came even though all he did was ranting all day. Yong Jie begged Yao Xue to check in an inn early that day to rest. They paid one room as always and Yong Jie immediately laid to the bed while Yao Xue cleaned Jinghua and also volunteered to clean Qing too since Yong Jie was already fast asleep.

Yao Xue waited for Yong Jie to wake up. It was around Chen shi (7~9 pm) when Yong Jie stirred in his sleep and sat up murmuring about his grumbling stomach with his messy hair.

"Yao Xue, I'm hungry." Yong Jie said and Yao Xue stood up from the bench and nodded at Yong Jie to go down for dinner.

Yong Jie happily walked behind Yao Xue thinking Yao Xue was the best. No one ever spoiled Yong Jie before so he felt so happy every time Yao Xue spoils him. After eating, Yong Jie craved alcohol so he ordered alcohol for the two of them.

"I don't drink." Yao Xue said and Yong Jie waved his hand, shushing him.

"Just for tonight, young master Yao Xue." Yong Jie said and Yao Xue couldn't refuse anymore when the alcohols arrived and were served in their table.

Yong Jie bumped their small red jars of alcohol before taking a sip and Yong Jie felt satisfied after drinking alcohol again then he turned to Yao Xue who was still clutching the jar. Maybe Yao Xue didn't like to drink directly in the jar so Yong Jie poured Yao Xue a shot glass and gave it to Yao Xue's side.

"Yao Xue, just for tonight. I promise I won't slack off tomorrow if you drink with me." Yong Jie grinned.

Yao Xue secretly sighed as he picked the cup and drank it as Yong Jie cheered. One cup turned into two until his jar was empty and Yong Jie asked for seconds. On their third jar, Yong Jie started acting drunk and he couldn't shut his mouth from talking. Yao Xue could only count how many time he drank alcohol in his lifetime but all his drinking companions gets drunk before he does.

"Yao Xue, I saw the tassel I gave you when you pulled out your bow." Yong Jie grinned. He was so happy that Yao Xue really valued his gift, even hanging it on his spiritual weapon.

"I couldn't find any place to hang it." Yao Xue said.

"Oh, come on. Don't say it like you have no choice." Yong Jie pouted.

Yao Xue turned to Yong Jie when he suddenly stopped talking. Yong Jie planted his elbow on the table while resting his cheek on his palm, dreamily looking at Yao Xue as he finished the last drop of his third jar.

"Yao Xue." Yong Jie softly called. "Did I told you that you looked like an angel when I saw you on the roofs that first night?"

Yao Xue looked at the drunk Yong Jie, his eyes almost close to dropping. Yao Xue nodded his head as he hummed. Yong Jie did tell him and he was bothered how Yong Jie called him as an angel. He was no angel.

Yong Jie chuckled and leaned his face closer. "You're so beautiful I couldn't take my eyes away from you. Seems like you're glowing like the moon at night."

"Young master Yong Jie, let's go to our room. You're drunk." Yao Xue stood up and pulled Yong Jie up, shaking Yong Jie's arms on the back of Yao Xue's shoulders and Yao Xue supports Yong Jie's back.

Yong Jie started humming an unfamiliar tune as they walked to the stairs. Yao Xue sat Yong Jie on the bed and crouched down to help him remove his shoes.

"Yao Xue, beautiful Yao Xue." Yong Jie chuckled as he looked at Yao Xue then move his legs away from Yao Xue who was trying to remove his shoe.

Yong Jie chuckled at Yao Xue who firmly held his ankle and pulled his shoe. Yong Jie ran his hand on Yao Xue's smooth hair, combing it with his fingers and he stared at Yao Xue.

Yao Xue got used to all of Yong Jie's harassments but it was the first time Yong Jie touched his hair and it felt sensual to Yao Xue. It sends a weird kind of feeling in his system.

"Yao Xue." Yong Jie called while playing with Yao Xue's hair.

"Hnn?" Yao Xue placed Yong Jie's shoes neatly beside the bed then turned to Yong Jie.

"If you were a girl, I will, without a doubt, marry you." Yong Jie seriously said in his drunken face and Yao Xue couldn't help but smile, a genuine small smile.

It was Yong Jie who only dares to do things to Yao Xue, to say anything he wants to him too. Yao Xue just shook his head in amusement but he was surprised when Yong Jie cupped his face so hard, he could feel the sting on his cheeks.

Yong Jie stared at Yao Xue, shocked.

"Do it again." Yong Jie said.

"Ha?" Yao Xue was dumbfounded.

"Do it again, Yao Xue."

"Do what?"

Yong Jie let got of Yao Xue and smiled. "Smile."

Yao Xue stood up not planning on smiling for Yong Jie but he was taken aback when Yong Jie held his hand and pulled him to the bed. Yong Jie chuckled as he straddled immediately on top of Yao Xue who was speechless.

"Yong Jie!" Yao Xue called but Yong Jie just grinned on top of him.

"Hmm?"

"Get off me."

Yong Jie sat on Yao Xue's stomach then squared his arms with his shoulders, thinking. Yong Jie was heavy and he held Yao Xue's hands when Yao Xue raised it to push Yong Jie, pinning it on the bed as he bent down. Yong Jie's long black hair looked like a curtain framing his beautiful face as he stared down at Yao Xue.

"Should I release you?" Yong Jie teased. "But I don't want to."

"Yong Jie." Yao Xue warned, trying to pull his hands. Surprisingly, Yong Jie's grip was strong and Yao Xue didn't use to much force afraid he might hurt Yong Jie. Yong Jie pouted like a kid.

"Okay." Yong Jie surrendered.

Yao Xue felt relieved when Yong Jie loosened his hands from him but Yong Jie bent down so fast and Yao Xue found himself being kissed by the drunkard Yong Jie.
