The Scum Is A ***

Fei Yinzi has never done that much skinship with others. His face flushed red when he recalled Wen Wen on top of him, and the two of them are only wearing their inner robes (Yes. xiao Bao also stripped him of his outer robe. He didn't let xiao Ling touch Fei Yinzi. Such a possessive sword spirit). Although Fei Yinzi is closest with Wen Wen, he never had touched that much skin of Wen Wen, so it was the first time that he discovered Wen Wen's cool body temperature.

Fei Yinzi has an ice spiritual root and his body temperature should be cooler than Wen Wen's body temperature. But, he has a high fever and his qi has become chaotic thus his spiritual root has become useless to regulate his body temperature. It is already fortunate that his rioting qi didn't freeze his body instead like that of a corpse's. Or else, he would have instantly died and can no longer be saved.

"Mnh…" he heard Wen Wen groaned.

Fei Yinzi blinked as he was pulled out from his thoughts. He turned to see that Wen Wen is now slowly opening his eyes. "Wen Wen." He called as he placed a hand on Wen Wen's forehead to check the other's temperature.

He sighed in relief when he felt that the other was no fever. He was worried that his fever would be transferred to Wen Wen since earlier, they… erm… kissed… thinking this again, his cheeks flushed red as he stared at Wen Wen who finally fully opened his eyes. He is now awake.

"Er Zi…?" Wen Wen muttered and blinked when he saw Fei Yinzi is sitting beside his bed. "Er Zi! You are finally awake!" he exclaimed and immediately sat up from his bed. "How are you? How do you feel?" he asked as he checked Fei Yinzi's body up and down.

Fei Yinzi shook his head. "I feel fine already. Thanks." He answered before he took the cup of water from the table. "Here. Have some water first." He said.

Wen Wen's eyes brightened as he received the cup. "Thank you, Er Zi!" he said and smiled before he sipped his drink.

Fei Yinzi's sight fell on Wen Wen's lips that became moist after he drank water. He immediately retracted his gaze when he saw Wen Wen looked at him.

"We were all frightened earlier… we thought that you would…" Wen Wen said as he stared at Fei Yinzi.

Fei Yinzi lowered his gaze. "I apologize for worrying you all." He said in a low voice.

Wen Wen shook his head as he waved his hand. "No, no! You don't need to apologize! After all, it was an accident!" he told him. "It is already great that you are now safe!" he said and smiled.

Fei Yinzi raised his head and looked at him.

Wen Wen grinned. "Er Zi, you have advanced, right?" he asked.

"En." Fei Yinzi nodded. "I didn't expect it." He said.

Wen Wen laughed. "Who would expect their advancement?" he said.

Fei Yinzi nodded. "Mn." He answered as he handed the porridge to Wen Wen, who gladly accepted it.

He watched the other eat. Then, he secretly sighed. He doesn't remember…? He thought. He doesn't know what he feels. Whether he is relieved, or disappointment that the other might not remember what happened earlier when he helped treated him. Wen Wen must not truly remember, since Wen Wen is behaving like the usual.

Wen Wen has exhausted himself earlier, and then fell asleep. Then, when he woke up, he can't remember anything. Or maybe, xiao Bao and xiao Ling erased those memories of Wen Wen? Or…

Fei Yinzi's eyes narrowed as he lowered his head. Wen Wen requested to xiao Ling and xiao Bao to remove his memories when they kissed earlier? Even though it was just to transfer qi to him, Fei Yinzi, but a kiss is still a kiss. Wen Wen must have think that it was shameful and he was embarrassed. Worse, he must feel disgusted. After all, Fei Yinzi is his friend, and friends don't kiss each other on the lips. They don't even kiss each other on the cheek or any part of their body.

But, they have kissed. Wen Wen must have felt troubled by it and wanted to forget it. He must have requested from xiao Bao and xiao Ling to remove his memories. Also, it was only them four inside the tent earlier, and they thought that it was only the three of them would know what had transpired since they thought that Fei Yinzi is asleep thus he wouldn't know of the process. Now that Wen Wen chose to forget, only xiao Bao and xiao Ling know what happened earlier. And the two sword spirits naturally wouldn't tell anyone about it. So, the process of treating Fei Yinzi from the brink of his death wouldn't be known by anyone.

However, Fei Yinzi himself knows, for he was still awake at that time, albeit delirious. But, after some time, he really fell unconscious, thus he doesn't know whether Wen Wen really did ask xiao Bao and xiao Ling to remove his memories, which has a high possibility that happened.

"Er Zi? Er Zi!" Wen Wen called and waved his hand in front of Fei Yinzi's face when he saw that the other was silent and seemed to be in a daze.

Fei Yinzi blinked. He raised his head and look at Wen Wen, only to see a worried expression on his face. "What's wrong?" he asked him.

"I should be the one to ask that…" Wen Wen said. "What is wrong with you? Do you still feel ill?" he asked and looked at Fei Yinzi with his eyes filled with concern.

Fei Yinzi smiled. "No. I really feel fine right now." He answered.

Only then did Wen Wen sigh in relief. "I thought that you were still ill when I saw you silent just now…" he shook his head. "If you still feel tired, then you should go rest." He told him.

Fei Yinzi nodded as an answer. "What about you?" he asked him.

"I am already good! I will resume making talismans!" Wen Wen answered and grinned. "Xiang-shijie said that the other participants' money were all spent so we can exchange our magic pills, potions and talismans for points!" he explained.

Fei Yinzi nodded in understanding. "Then, don't push yourself." He told him.

"En!" Wen Wen nodded as he went to his table and picked up a brush to begin making talismans.

Fei Yinzi watched him before he turned and lied on his bed. Then, he closed his eyes. He didn't know that as soon as he turned, Wen Wen's calm expression fell and was replaced by a flustered expression.

Whew! Fortunately, I managed to fool him with my act! Wen Wen thought and fanned his face as a cold sweat slid down his cheek. Er Zi's now awake, but he seems to be behaving strangely… he couldn't have remembered what happened earlier when I helped xiao Bao and xiao Ling treat him, right? He nervously thought and bit his lower lip. No… no way. Er Zi was asleep earlier! How will he know how he was cured?! He thought as he pulled his hair. Yes… Er Zi shouldn't know what had happened… he thought and took a deep breath.

As for the others, even if they will tell Fei Yinzi after Fei Yinzi asks them who helped cure him, they would only say Wen Wen's name. As for the method, they wouldn't say since they don't know it. As for xiao Bao and xiao Ling, if Fei Yinzi asks them, they wouldn't tell him. With xiao Ling's teasing attitude, he wouldn't tell Fei Yinzi, and xiao Bao follows xiao Ling's wishes. Thus, Fei Yinzi wouldn't know of this matter!

Wen Wen heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he acts like the usual, no one would notice, including Fei Yinzi. So, just keep this up, myself! He thought as he energetically started writing on the papers. He even started to hum.

Fei Yinzi, who is actually awake and didn't go to sleep, heard Wen Wen humming. He felt his heart clenched. Wen Wen really must have forgotten what happened earlier when he helped me be saved from the brink of death. He thought as he lowered his gaze, making him look at his hands. His hands that Wen Wen held earlier, and even their fingers were intertwined…

He closed his eyes as he recalled what happened earlier. Because his body was extremely hot earlier, Wen Wen's slightly cool body temperature which is emanated by his skin made him feel extremely comfortable earlier, like a thirsty man in the hot and dry desert that has finally found an oasis. But, it was not only that what he felt earlier…

He and Wen Wen are closer to each other than their other fellow disciples. But, because of what happened earlier, something has changed in Fei Yinzi's heart.. He has never thought that Wen Wen's skin is as soft as his temper… and it really feels good to touch.
