The Ger's Contract Marriage [BL]
Chapter 159: Night Garden

Chapter 159: Night Garden

In the pavilion, delicate paper lanterns adorned the space, casting a soft, dreamy glow as the evening settled in. Their light danced on the paper animals decorating the pillars, adding a touch of elegance to the setting.

The interior was a tapestry of colors: festive hues of red and orange complemented by the deepening shades of the twilight sky.

Xu Feng sat in the middle of this enchanting scene, like a lone flower among the blossoms, with eyes still full of wonder.

The lanterns’ soft glow highlighted the contours of his face, accentuating his gentle features and the faint pink tone of his cheeks. His expression was a mix of wonder and excitement, illuminated by the colors of the night.

As the twilight deepened and the lantern light intensified, it created an ethereal atmosphere, casting a spell of serenity over the pavilion and enhancing Xu Feng’s natural beauty in its subtle glow.

Xuan Yang should have been focusing on the Dharma Goat sizzling over the fire. He came over to help Jian, but both their eyes kept wandering over to the silver haired ger that was like the heart of the pavilion.

He seemed to be more radiant than the decorations that had taken many sticks of incense to hang up.

They didn’t see him crying often, not since the wedding night...

Neither he nor Xuan Jian knew what to do with the crying ger. He had met many of them trying to get into his bed. Some were from big families, while others were chance encounters, but he didn’t particularly like gers or women either. All the ones he met always seemed to be playing games.

Xuan Yang knew all women and gers weren’t like this, but all the ones that were drawn to him, were like Lady Xuan. It was all a game of power and influence.

Xu Feng liked playing games, but his games were different. They made no sense. The ger played games only for his amusement, not to get anything from Xuan Yang or Xuan Jian.

Luckily for them, Xu Feng stopped crying quickly. The tears were too painful to watch, making his heart itch.

Xuan Yang couldn’t withstand the temptation anymore and entered into the pavilion with a small plate in hand.

Xu Feng was immediately attracted by the smell of the tender cut of Dharma Goat skewered and plated. It smelt appetizing even to Xuan Yang, and with the brown sauce he had watched Xu Feng make a few times, he could practically ’swallow his tongue’ in anticipation.

Xuan Yang smiled as even in his thoughts, Xu Feng’s words and weird sayings echoed.

If the meat wasn’t offered freely, Xu Feng looked like he might have snatched it away. He tore into the meat almost immediately, his face an array of emotions as he savored each bite, cheeks puffed up like a small animal.

In a minute the skewer was gone and Xu Feng was staring at an empty stick while Xuan Yang was staring at a sauce covered ger.

He leaned down and licked some of the brown sauce from the silver haired ger in front of him, before staring the other man in the face.

The flush on his face was cute. Early in the day, Xu Feng was sexy and enchanting, enthralling him, but now he was this adorable little ger. Xu Feng had a special way of always catching his eye.

He leaned down once again, kissing the ger softly, the plump pink lips were as inviting as they looked and had a brown sauce flavoring adding to the experience.

As he pulled away Xu Feng’s face flushed even deeper, his eyes seemed wet in the candlelight.

"Why were you crying?"

"I was happy."

"You cry when happy?"

"Sometimes."

"I need to work harder in bed." Xuan Jian cut into their two man dialogue.

"Hahahah," The laugh that came from Xuan Yang seemed to make the other two a bit shocked. He surprised himself too.

Normally, he didn’t feel like very many things were, but this winter was filled with many peculiar experiences and reactions. This was the best winter he’d ever had, the best three months in the last 19 years.

It all started with a troublesome ger.

Xuan Yang was still staring at said troublesome ger when a face zoomed directly in front of his own, and two lips met his own. The taste was one he knew well, a favorite of his. Jian.

Without a second thought, he reached out and deepened the kiss, before the other man pulled away with a grin on his face. Xuan Jian’s grin was often sweet when directed at Xu Feng, but when it was directed at him, it was always a bit feisty and domineering.

But he loved that smile, and everything behind it.

This was the man he chose and would choose over and over again, no matter how much Jian bullied him in the past and future.

"Hmm," Came a petty noise from a petty ger. A petty silver haired ger.

When Xuan Jian and Xuan Yang looked back, they were met with Xu Feng’s squinted eyes. It was obvious he was doing one of his plays, but it didn’t stop Xuan Yang from wanting to pinch his cheeks.

Instead of encouraging the ger’s bad behavior, Xuan Yang simply raised his brows provocatively at Xu Feng. He knew full well how to get a reaction out of the younger man, and he did it often.

On cue, Xu Feng made an even louder noise, "HMMMM," before he started picking at the side dishes on the central table of the pavilion.

Between bites of dim sum, the ger muttered, "My celebration...only I get kisses..."

Xuan Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or wear a straight face. Which one would annoy the ger more?

He looked over at Xuan Jian who had an even bigger grin on his face. He always found Xu Feng funny. As for him, he found the ger annoying at first, but it was because he didn’t like the way Xu Feng made the other man light up.

If he had his way, he would have continued to hate Xu Feng, but he couldn’t. When he first met Xuan Jian, he fell in love almost immediately, but he thought he just wanted to be friends with the other man.

When he met Xu Feng for the first time, he fell in something almost immediately, but he was more concerned with the ger stealing his lover.

There was a pattern.
