Looks So Good On You

Yuen stood up after lighting the stove. He stood up too fast and lost his balance, he staggered backward from a dizzy.

"Ah"

"hey"

Luckily, someone had grabbed his shoulder from behind, preventing him from falling.

"This kid, what are you doing? Be careful"

BeiNing was already behind him, smiling while holding him.

Yuen straightened up. Smiling to see his senior there.

"Brother Ning, You're here"

ANing smiled.

"Yeah, come on, you'd better get rest now." He grabbed Yuen's shoulder and helped him out through the back door, helping Yuen sit on a long chair on the terrace behind the kitchen. ANing carried so many things in a cloth bag that grew bigger at his back, placing it on the chair beside him.

ANing smiled, since taking Yuen back to the hut and returning to the clan, he had been so busy. And two days had passed without seeing Yuen. After all, he had to carry out his obligations as a clan member, especially as a senior when the clan was holding its annual event.

He took Yuen's hand, looked at the young man, and smiled.

"Hey, this kid, look at your face, you look like a chicken who falls into the charcoal" he took a handkerchief under his clothes, and gently wiped the stains on Yuen's cheeks and chin. Yuen widened his eyes.

"Is my face dirty?" he asked, holding ANing's hand on his cheek.

ANing very enthusiastically wiped the stain patiently, on Yuen's cheeks, chin, and even the top of Yuen's eyes. He smiled at the pair of beautiful light brown eyes that looked at him without blinking. He was truly lucky to be able to have that gaze for himself, the gaze of his beloved Yuen.

He grabbed Yuen's hand, holding it.

"Are you feeling well today? I'm sorry that I can't visit you often, yesterday there were a lot of events in the clan. But it's all over, I've asked Teacher for a few days off, so I'll stay here to accompany you."

Yuen widened his eyes.

"Here? But, there's only one room here."

ANing smiled.

"So? The air is very cold lately, we can sleep together in bed. Yuen doesn't mind, right? Brother has enough body heat for the two of us," said ANing, looking at Yuen with naughty eyes.

Yuen pushed ANing's hand that was still on his hand.

"This brother, how could we do that? The teacher will be angry. Previously, because the material was so fragile, the bed had broken, if we slept there again now, I'm afraid it will break again. Brother He will have a hard time fixing it later."

ANing frowned.

"Um, just leave it then. I'll have a reason to buy you a new bed."

Yuen poked ANing's stomach which was sticking to him. Apart from holding his hands tightly, his brother also sat too close so he didn't have room to move.

"This Brother. Besides, I don't have extra pillows and blankets, you know that, right? My blanket is also thin, you will feel cold all night."

ANing smiled. He lifted Yuen's chin with two fingers.

"That's why I said, we have to sleep together to share body heat."

Yuen swallowed his saliva. His older brother enjoyed teasing him. He pushed ANing's chest away from him.

"Brother"

ANing chuckled, finally, he let his grip off Yuen, who was so adorable in his eyes.

"Hehehe, this sweet child is so adorable"

He took a large cloth bag which he put beside him.

"Teacher asked me to bring several sets of blankets and thick coats for Yuen, Uncle Teacher, and Brother AHe. Soon it will snow and they say your thick clothes are starting to wear out, you have to replace them with new ones."

"Wow Uncle Master is very kind, thank you for the blanket. It's been really cold lately. The teacher and Brother AHe had to give in and use the old blanket, and gave me a new blanket to use. This is so good, Brother," Yuen exclaimed, looking at the pile of blankets and coats that ANing had brought with sparkling eyes. ANing smiled, he looked at Yuen and took out the next item from his waist bag.

"And here, big brother has something for little brother. Representatives from other clans who visited yesterday gave some typical gifts from their city, and I asked for the most beautiful one for you. You will like it," said ANing, hiding his hands behind his waist.

Yuen looked at ANing's hand, trying to see what he was holding.

"What's that bro?"

ANing took out his hand, opened his palm, and showed something shiny.

"This, according to the student, he made himself from natural stone around his house. And he said that these small stones have good properties for maintaining body health. Facilitate air circulation and blood flow. And, because it is homemade, he ensures that it is the only one in the world. Little Brother, do you want to wear it?" ANing asked, holding out a bracelet with a purplish stone. Yuen looked at the bracelet with shining eyes. He nodded quickly.

"Wah it's so pretty, is this for me?" he asked.

ANing nodded. He took Yuen's hand and put the bracelet on his wrist. Yuen looked very happy.

"This is perfect for you"

"This is so good, Brother, I like it"

After inserting the bracelet, ANing held his hand. Linking all his fingers to Yuen's. Yuen was silent when ANing took his hand and put it in front of his chest. Take a deep breath while looking outside.

"Heh, the air outside is quite fresh, how about we take a walk for a while? In a few days, it will snow and all these plains will be covered in white. We may have a hard time going through it again. I heard the snow this time is thicker than before."

Yuen pursed his mouth. ANing stood up and pulled him along.

"But Teacher said, this winter some rare plants will grow well, so I still have to look for medicinal leaves every day, like in previous years."

ANing pulled Yuen's hand outside the hut, took him along the road towards the river, and looked for a good position for them to sit.

"Come on, just sit here, I have time to go to town to buy food, there is beef jerky and meat buns, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat together"

Yuen complied when ANing asked him to sit on a rock with him.

"We had, Brother AHe have made us bun for breakfast."

ANing took out a package from his waist bag. Opening it and showing the amount of food he bought in town, there were large buns, packets of beef jerky, and fried peanuts, everything looked tempting.

"Here, I warmed it up before coming here, let's eat it before it gets cold."

Of course, who can resist delicious food? Without hesitation, Yuen, who said he had already eaten, accepted the meat buns from ANing's hands.

"hey, thank you, Brother, this smells great"

.....

The bushes move. The cold wind blew, blowing the long shining robe far away. Blood spurted into the air. The sharp weapons slashing, groans, and loud falls on the snowy ground. The sound of wind was heard as soon as all the bodies fell to the ground. People dressed in black lay scattered all around, with bodies, necks almost falling off their heads, and big bulging eyes as watched their souls fly away from their bodies.

A tall, sturdy figure standing firm after taking down his last enemy. His black clothes covered the blood that was spraying towards him, still dripping fresh blood from the tip of his long sword as he wiped it with the sleeve of the closest body lying in front of him. A red jade pendant with beautiful carvings hung from his waist.

He turned around and waited for several people who were also coming with him. The man wore a wide hat that covered him from the falling snow and dark brown clothes with golden embroidery in the shape of an eagle that stretched from the bottom to the top of his beautiful clothes. The belt was black, with several tassels attached to it, one of which was dark red jade. The dark red coat, with the symbol of an eagle on the back. He is not that young anymore, and his face is quite recognizable. He sheathed his long sword as two of his comrades approached, two men dressed in dark blue which also helped him finish off the men in black who had fallen and turned the white snow to red.

"They started moving. It wasn't this intense before, what are they planning?" asked the white-haired old man on the right. The man wearing a wide-brimmed hat nodded.

"It seems like the palace is starting to move. Looks like it's time for us to move too."

The two old men nodded. Immediately after that, the three of them shot away towards the forest, leaving cold bodies lying and starting to be covered by the snow that continued to fall widely.
