Chapter 176 - Inadvertently Helping (1/2)

In the end, Qiu Ling actually ended the kiss. This wasn't the time for that. ”We were … on our way up.”

”Qiu Ling.” Jing Yi stroked his cheek and smiled. ”You know if you really love me, then you should also trust me. So if there is something tormenting you, then we can talk about it.”

Qiu Ling nodded, though he didn't plan to actually follow through with that. It was bad enough that he had lost his calm in front of Jing Yi once. That couldn't happen a second time.

Jing He would remember everything when he woke up. Not immediately, but in the end, he would. He couldn't let him see anything bad. Jing He should always feel secure at his side. How would he be able to do that if he saw him like this?

”I'm sorry. I …” He shook his head. ”It's because I love you so much. When I thought that you had to suffer because of me I …”

”It's alright. It's not your fault. My father …” Jing Yi sighed. ”Maybe his time had just come. It has happened long ago, too. There is no need to worry about it now. Come on now. Didn't want you to show me a place? I'm curious about it so let's hurry up.”

”Mn.” Qiu Ling took his hand again and they continued upward.

Jing Yi looked up at him once again. He really wanted to say something but after what had happened just now he didn't dare to. What if he asked another question that would hurt Qiu Ling? He didn't want that. This was supposed to be a memorable day for them. And one with nice memories.

Jing Yi silently stepped closer to Qiu Ling and grabbed onto his arm. Qiu Ling turned toward him and raised his brows. ”Oh, it's … it's a little chilly, don't you think so?”

Qiu Ling looked up as if he could actually see the temperature. Then, he waved his hand. The temperature around them instantly increased. That wasn't the only thing that happened, though.

Jing Yi's eyes went wide and he stopped. What was that just now? He felt like … like he could feel something moving around them.

”What is it, my love?”

”What did you do just now?” Jing Yi jerked around and gripped Qiu Ling's robe.

”You said it was cold so I made it a bit warmer.”

Jing Yi's mouth opened and closed again. This guy … He had spirit veins, too? Then why was he … Jing Yi shook his head. That wasn't important right now.

”Qiu Ling, can you repeat that?”

”Is it still cold?” Qiu Ling frowned a bit. He had felt like it was a mild day in the first place. Now that he had adjusted the temperature once it was quite warm already. His beloved wouldn't be falling sick, would he?!

Slightly worried, Qiu Ling waved once more and the temperature rose.
