I AM MY OWN PERSON!
___________________________________________________________________
Strength returned to Lin Xiao’s body and the first thing he did was to lift both of his arms in an attempt to push the form on top of him. But the Emperor is someone who was trained from a young age. Strength is not something that he is lacking, so when those hands on his chest are pushing him away, he merely lets out a sound of frustration. Not wanting to be disturbed, he grabbed those hands and pinned them to the bed. Lin Xiao’s frown deepened and he began to struggle once again.
The more Lin Xiao struggled, the more excited it made Qin Yijun feel. A low, pleasured groan made its way past his lips. Blood rushed towards the lower half of his body and the sleeping dragon below started to awaken.
When Lin Xiao felt something hard pressing against his abdomen, he stopped struggling. His eyes went wide in disbelief. He stared at the Emperor with incredulity, silently questioning the other.
Qin Yijun saw his look, so he pulled away from the kiss to give them a small distance. As if understanding the state of Lin Xiao’s mind, his lips curved into that of a playful smile. “What’s wrong? You don’t dare to move anymore?”
“...”
‘Let alone moving, I don’t even dare to say anything for fear I would offend this Son of Heaven!’ Lin Xiao cried out in his mind.
“Did you also lose your voice from the kiss?”
Lin Xiao’s jaw was tense as he held himself back from saying anything. But for Qin Yijun, it looked as if Lin Xiao was putting up airs. ‘How precious.’
A genuine smile formed on Qin Yijun’s face. One of his hands went to caress Lin Xiao’s cheek gently, his thumb slowly tracing the corner of Lin Xiao’s lips. He was about to lean down again when Lin Xiao used his now free hand to cover his lips.
“Your Majesty, this is not how a monarch should act,” Lin Xiao said, his tone filled with the hint of crisis.
In return, Qin Yijun merely let out a chuckle before he moved again to pin Lin Xiao’s hand back to the bed. “How do you think Zhen should act in this situation?” he asked back.
“... Don’t you have… your own Imperial Harem? Your Majesty can call on one to solve… that raging desire,” Lin Xiao replied after a slight hesitation.
Amused, Qin Yijun leaned down closer, only pausing when their lips were about to touch. He could feel how tense Lin Xiao was. “But Zhen only have a desire for you.”
‘YOUR SISTER, AH!!’
Lin Xiao almost cursed out loud, but fortunately he held back his tongue. But that did not help him in this situation, especially since the Emperor claimed his lips once more. This time, Lin Xiao is clear-headed, and he is not about to let himself to be done. It was only unfortunate that he could not bite the invading tongue off. So he could only use his own tongue to push it out.
Qin Yijun could feel the movement from Lin Xiao’s action, and it actually pleased him. He decided to entertain Lin Xiao and dragged his tongue back. But when Lin Xiao’s tongue went past his own lips, he took the chance to playfully suck them, eliciting a groan from the man below him.
His defence failed and Lin Xiao was instead slowly being pulled into the sea of pleasure by the way Qin Yijun’s tongue danced with his own. Soft moans and groans gradually filled the room.
Seeing how Lin Xiao went soft from his kisses, Qin Yijun was delighted. He felt as if he was in a dream, and that Li Fangming had never left his side. He was shrouded with happiness and in his bliss; he uttered the name of the person who he longed for.
“Ming-er…”
The moment the name travelled into Lin Xiao’s ear, he felt an inexplicable rage bubbling inside him. Fuelled by this, he suddenly felt a burst of strength and succeeded in shoving the Emperor off. As soon as the weight was off him, he immediately maneuvered his body out from underneath the Emperor and got off the bed.
“Ming-er?” Qin Yijun was confused when he saw Lin Xiao’s expression. From the way his eyes narrowed, and how tight his jaw was, he could sense that Lin Xiao was displeased.
Being called with a different name, Lin Xiao naturally wouldn’t respond. He outright ignored the Emperor as he fixed his clothes. Once he’s done, he turned to face the Emperor before he bowed to him. “Please forgive Lin Xiao for his insolence,” he said in a sombre tone while making sure to emphasise his name to the Emperor. “Lin Xiao has troubled His Majesty for so long. Asking His Majesty to allow Lin Xiao to excuse himself.”
Though the tone sounded polite, Qin Yijun felt the coldness of Lin Xiao’s emotion and it was as if a frigid blade was cutting through his body. He watched as Lin Xiao turned to leave, not even waiting for his reply. He suddenly feels fearful. He was afraid that if he let Lin Xiao go, then he will no longer be able to see him again.
Thinking of this, Qin Yijun quickly got off the bed and chased after Lin Xiao before the other left the bedchamber.
“Ming-er!” He called out as he reached out and grabbed Lin Xiao by the arm.
“Enough!” Lin Xiao flung his arm in anger as he removed the Emperor’s grip from his arm. “Your Majesty can’t even distinguish between a man and a ghost. Your Majesty may be the Son of Heaven, a dragon amongst the sky, the one that rules all under heaven… And I may only be one of the few insignificant mortals under the sky. But that does not mean I do not have a dignity of my own.”
The more Qin Yijun listened, the more confused he became. He could not understand why Lin Xiao suddenly became irritated.
Seeing the Emperor’s befuddled expression, Lin Xiao knew that Qin Yijun was not able to comprehend what it is that he wanted to express. So he could only say it out loud.
“Your Majesty, Lin Xiao is not Li Fangming. I am my own person!”
