Chapter 73.2 - Protagonist: Are you comforting me? (2/2)

“Then comfort me a little more,” said Xiu softly; the sound was almost a whisper. Xiu bent his head and pressed his bloodless lips on Du Ze’s.

Du Ze felt as if snow had fallen on his mouth softly. It was ice cold at the entrance of his mouth, about to melt. Du Ze could not help but stick out the tip of his tongue to lick the other’s lips. Xiu took the tongue into his mouth and gently sucked on it as though it was a bit of honey he has reluctant to swallow.

The kiss went on for a long time so even though it was not intense, Du Ze finally felt out of breath. Xiu, holding Du Ze whose mouth was open wide as he gasped, slid his hand into Du Ze’s clothes. Du Ze felt as though a piece of ice was suddenly attached to his navel. He shuddered.

Xiu felt the delicate quivering. His eyes were very black, the kind of black that had sucked out all the light around him.

“No breathing, no temperature, isn’t this form very scary?”

Du Ze embraced Xiu tightly and shook his head.

“You are Xiu.”

That’s enough.

Xiu closed his eyes. How can he describe this person?

He thought of a ray of sunlight that he had seen in the orphanage. It melted the ice on the window little by little, until it shone on him and it was if it warmed him to the center of his heart.

This presence is more dazzling than the brightest light.

From the first time they met until now, only this person has ever been able to redeem him.
