Chapter 6 – The Swallow Kiss

Xiao Hua's house is small. It only had one bedroom, one master room, a kitchen, and a barn for the horse. The master room was small too. It only had one wooden table and a pair of old chairs. Lu Xun asked Cao Pi to take a seat and gave some medicine to Cao Pi's leg. The medicine felt so hurt on the wound, but Cao Pi didn't say anything because of his pride.

" Is your leg still hurt?" Lu Xun asked as he worried.

" It's nothing." Cao Pi said as he looked at the other side. From the expression on his face, Lu Xun knew that his leg still hurt.

" You know, I gave you the miracle medicine that was made by the famous physician from the village. In 30 minutes, you will fell much better."

" Is that any medicine like that?" Cao Pi asked coldly.

" You won't know until you try it!" Lu Xun smiled.

They stopped their conversation as they heard Xiao Hua cough from the other room. Rashly, Lu Xun came to the kitchen and asked Xiao Hua to take a rest on the bedroom. It seemed that both of them have a serious chat. Cao Pi could hear that Lu Xun seems have a finance problem. Cao Pi looked at his wallet. His money seems can help their problem.

Felt bored waiting for Lu Xun, Cao Pi looked at the twin swords on the table, the twin swords that Lu Xun used when he did his performance. He looked at the symbols that craved at the blades. Each has a tiger and a pair of wings on the handle. He never saw any symbol like that in Wei, especially the tiger symbol. Wei people never use any tiger on their utility. The Wei people usually use the phoenix symbols on their weapon.

" Sorry to make you wait… I have finished the lunch, let's eat together!" Lu Xun came back with some tea and warm soup. Lu Xun was surprised as he saw Cao Pi held his swords. He was afraid that Cao Pi would know about his identity. Cao Pi is a scholar after all, as long as he knew.

" My Sword!" Lu Xun ran toward Cao Pi to take the sword.

Surprised by Lu Xun's move, Cao Pi moved the swords to his back by reflect. It made Lu Xun bumped into Cao Pi and kissed him by accident. Both of them fell from the chair.

Lu Xun was very panic. Lu Xun pulled his head as he regained his consciousness. " I'm sorry… I didn't mean to… sorry…" His face became as red as the tomato.

Cao Pi stared at Lu Xun. Well, Cao Pi has to admit that last night he had a dirty dream about him and Lu Xun spending the night together. However, he still didn't believe that he could kiss his crush just the day after that dream. He held Lu Xun's head and made Lu Xun stared at him. He stunned by Lu Xun's golden eyes, his brunette hair, and his beautiful face. Even Zhen Ji couldn't match his beauty.

" Winter…?" Lu Xun confused, " Are you okay…?"

Cao Pi didn't give any answer. He pulled Lu Xun head closer to his face.

Lu Xun blushed as he felt Cao Pi's breath near his face. His eyes grew widen as Cao Pi pulled his head closer. " Winter…?"

Suddenly Xiao Hua came out from her room. " Big brother, is the lunch ready?"

Lu Xun jumped from Cao Pi's body, " AH! Xiao hua…"

" What are you doing? Why do your face flush?" Xiao Hua asked.

" It's nothing! Really!"

" Oh, then, can we eat the lunch now?"

" Oh right! Let's eat!" Lu Xun helped Cao Pi sat on the chair and they enjoyed their lunch together.

" The food taste really great! By the way, why do both of you keep silent? Do you have a fight?" Xiao Hua asked.

" It' not like that… well…" Lu Xun glanced at Cao Pi," Winter, I'm sorry for what I did before… "

" …" Cao Pi smiled at Lu Xun, " Oh, it's okay…"

Lu Xun looked confuse because Cao Pi look so happy. He decided to ignore it and resumed eating his lunch.

" Big brother! Let's have the show now!" Xiao Hua said.

" NO! I won't allow that! You just take a rest now!"

" But, brother, you just said that we were lack of money. How can we receive any money if we don't have any show?"

" Well…" Lu Xun tried to find any answer that can make Xiao Hua take a rest, but he couldn't find any.

Cao Pi remembered what he wanted to do before. He took his wallet and put it to Lu Xun's hand, " Here, you can borrow my money."

" But, Winter… "

Cao Pi pulled Lu Xun closer at him and whispered, " It's a serious problem now. She has vomited blood before right? It means that the disease has become serious. If you don't give her a proper medicine, Xiao Hua's life would be in danger …"

" But… I already have a lot of debts that I can't afford to pay. I can't borrow any more money…"

" Let's talk about that later. Now, let's go to the village and buy the medicine, or else the shops will be closed soon. We better go as soon as possible."

Lu Xun bowed to Cao Pi." Thank you so much, Winter…"

" Xiao Hua, listen to me…" Lu Xun stared deeply to Xiao Hua, " I want to accompany Mr. Winter to the village for a while. I want you to wait in this house. Please, lock the door and the window, and never open the door until I came back."

" Okay… but why?" Xiao Hua asked.

" Because there are so many bad people outside. Please, do what I said…"

" Okay…" Xiao Hua nodded.

" Good girl. Now, let's head into the village, Winter. Oh yeah, how is your leg?" Lu Xun asked.

" Wow!" Cao Pi moved his leg, " It really recovered. The medicine is really a miracle!"

" Like I said!" Lu Xun smiled proudly. " Oh yeah, about your horse, since it hasn't recovered yet, do you mind using my horse together until we reach the village?"

" No problem!"

" Okay then! Let's go!"
