Chapter 155 - Auspicious Occasion

Lin Shu immediately went on alert.

But after Ling Fengxiao closed the door, he didn’t make any other moves, he just went to change his clothes and put on the appearance of Xiao Shao, then he returned to Lin Shu’s side.

Lin Shu noticed that when there were no outsiders, unless he indulged in Ling Fengxiao’s beauty, he still preferred to use Xiao Shao’s appearance.

Lin Shu looked around the wedding chambers.

There were several decorative screens, embroidered with a traditional motif of 100 hundred birds offering their best feather to the Phoenix, the walls were decorated with luminous pearls. The Phoenix Mountain Villa was extremely wealthy, so it was only right that the furnishings were exquisite.

Looking out from the window, one would see the lake full of fiery red lotus flowers, and there was a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

“It doesn’t look so nice right now.” Xiao Shao said: “At night, the room is warm, and once you light the candles and lie within the bed, you would be reluctant to get up.”

He also gazed out of the window and continued: “Sometimes when I woke up in the middle of the night, I would see the moon hanging high, seemingly on the corner of the pavilion, so close that it looked as if I could touch it by stretching my arms out, it was exceedingly beautiful. I would think then, if the other Master of this home came here, I must tell him to remember to view the moon in the later part of the night.”

Lin Shu was pulled to sit at the bedside by him.

Xiao Shao embraced him from behind and continued on: “Later I thought again, the later part of the night is a time for sleep, and I would be reluctant to wake him, and in the end he would still not see the moon, even though I really really wanted very much to show it to him.”

Lin Shu tried to make out what he was trying to say and asked, “So?”

“So I brought you here for one night. If you use your imagination, pretend to see it, I will have fulfilled a long cherished wish.”

Lin Shu: “……”

Oddly enough, it made a lot of sense.

He said: “I can stay awake.”

Xiao Shao: “No way.”

Lin Shu said: “I will meditate until the second part of the night…”

Xiao Shao interrupted: “Not allowed.”

Lin Shu argued: “When I was in the Sword Pavilion, I had the habit of not sleeping for an entire year—”

Xiao Shao: “The Sword Pavilion is too much!”

Lin Shu thought about how to refute the statement, and finally slowly said: “Don’t tell me that you sleep soundly every night?”

Xiao Shao did not make any sound.

The negotiations fell through, and eventually he still had to go to sleep.

Lin Shu had finally discovered it.

All along, this person had two hobbies.

One was to watch him eat.

One was to watch him sleep.

While they were in the Academy, Lin Shu had already acknowledged the situation.

When this person entered the touchy pufferfish state and blew up at the slightest provocation of the people around him, he would calm down by watching Lin Shu eat or sleep.

At this time, his attitude was as pleasant as a spring breeze.

Lin Shu believed that the reason for all this was that this person needed to watch a hamster eat slowly and sleep peacefully in order to neutralize his excess irritability and obtain a level of calmness.

The calm Xiao Shao kissed his ear.

The calm Xiao Shao squeezed his fingers.

The calm Xiao Shao played with his sword tassel.

Lin Shu changed the definition and defined it as a hyperactive Xiao Shao.

The hyperactive Xiao Shao buried his face on Lin Shu’s shoulder and stopped moving.

Lin Shu changed the definition again and defined it as a quiet Xiao Shao.

The quiet Xiao Shao said: “When I was young, I didn’t want to stay outside, I would come here and lock the door.”

It turned out that locking the door was a habit.

Lin Shu felt a little guilty that he had misunderstood Xiao Shao.

“When I was young, I had knife practice, memorized a lot of techniques and also had to learn military strategies…” Xiao Shao hugged him a little tighter, and talked about his childhood, “I didn’t have enough sleep, and eventually it became a habit that I couldn’t sleep while in my own room, so I would come here to sleep.”

Lin Shu turned his head to look at Xiao Shao.

The slanted rays of the setting sun came in from the window, and the ripples of the lotus pond glittered with shards of golden light. This golden shimmer also finely adorned Xiao Shao’s eyelashes, just like the gentle and quiet look in his eyes.

Lin Shu listened to him tell his tales slowly.

He spoke of how he had studied, and how he had practiced martial arts when he was young, and he had bruised himself on the stones beside the lotus pond.

He also spoke of how strict and unsmiling the headmistress of the Phoenix Mountain Villa was, the girls in the Villa were all afraid of her. When they bought overly ostentatious cosmetics and jewelry, and feared that the headmistress would see them and mete out punishment, they would all plead with the Big Miss to keep them on their behalf, till date there was still a fully stocked cabinet of these trinkets.

He also said that it truly was not a good time for him, and he had been unhappy.

He had always been surrounded by girls, he had wanted to play with the boys, but Xiao Lingyang had always been afraid of him.

The girls were always chattering on, but he really preferred peace and quiet, sometimes it was so noisy, and he would think, when would my obedient, virtuous, quiet fiancée arrive?

At this point, Lin Shu was gently kissed by him.

He said that he now has both a quiet fiancée and a boy whom he can play together with.

Lin Shu first wondered when this person had learned to speak so sweetly as if his mouth had been coated in honey, his words were so warm and gentle.

Thinking back to the year that he had thought that he had lost his wife, he certainly didn’t speak like this.

Finally he thought, when he was young, he had also wanted to play with other boys.

But he didn’t know how to play and also didn’t dare go too close.

For example, at five or six years old, they played with paper airplanes and Transformers, and at fifteen or sixteen they played basketball and computer games.

As for Xiao Shao, the boy who seemingly didn’t need to play any games, when interacting with him, it was always quietly being together, or studying knife or sword skills, which coincidentally was the only area that he was actually good at.

In this manner, he listened to Xiao Shao describe the ten plus years prior to meeting him, how days and months passed so slowly, but once he raised his head, the sky seen from the window was filled with stars.

Xiao Shao lit the red candle in the room.

The lights were red and the tent was warm, the moment was like a dream.

Xiao Shao pulled him down, and both of them lay on the bed.

Then the man pulled the red soft gauze over and covered his face.

“Immortal Lord,” Xiao Shao said, “Will you marry me?”

Lin Shu did not speak, but gazed at him through a layer of red gauzy silk.

He seemed to be looking at something outside of the mirror.

Xiao Shao asked again: “Will you marry me?”

He also said, “If you don’t marry me, I’m afraid that in the future I’ll die on the battlefield, and when I get to the Yellow Springs, I will beg Granny Meng not to let me drink the soup of forgetfulness, but I will also not be able to a give a reason why.”

Lin Shu felt as if there was a layer of fog over his vision.

Within the meandering mist, he said, “I’ve already married you.”

He recalled about himself, three years ago.

He was such a lonely soul, that even if Southern Xia was about to be exterminated, it would be very unlikely for him to casually dual cultivate with someone.

Xiao Shao very slowly lifted the red gauzy silk curtain, and leaned down to speak with him.

He said that had the Jubei Pass situation not occured, today would have been the day that he wanted.

Lin Shu asked about the night before

Xiao Shao said that he hadn’t been thinking the night before.

But you were so obedient, with no unwillingness or reluctance to be hugged, Xiao Shao had been lost in the moment.

Lin Shu reminded himself that he was an emotionless Sword Immortal. The honeyed words that were falling sweetly on his ear, were nothing but careless nonsense and the chatter of birds.

Xiao Shao asked in a slightly hoarse voice, whether the Immortal Lord would allow it tonight.

Lin Shu pushed him away.

Xiao Shao laughed.

He said that the Immortal Lord didn’t exert any true strength, only pushing half-heartedly.

Lin Shu was ultimately defeated by his gift of the gab, and he turned his head away, unwilling to look at Xiao Shao.

Xiao Shao leaned down to kiss his neck, holding his shoulder down with his other hand.

Lin Shu thought to himself that what Xiao Shao liked to play, it was not limited to studying the art of knives and swords.

He also liked to play with Lin Shu.

The sky outside the window was bedecked with stars.

Lin Shu felt that he would be able to see the moon during the later part of the night.
