Chapter 143: CH 143

The crickets were still chirping in the middle of night, and the branches of the crabapple tree were slowly dipping downwards after enduring the bright burning sun of the day; however, the scent of its flowers had not dissipated at all. 

If anyone were to push the window open and look out now, they would see the stars shining brightly in the night and lighting up the entire space.

Half kneeling on the bed, Xiao Feng Wu rolled the ends of Qin Ming Yue’s pants up to his knees. He lowered his eyes upon seeing the dark and purple bruises and slowly rubbed his fingers over the edges of the injury. 

Qin Ming Yue wanted to retract his leg, but he was held tightly in place by his foot and couldn’t move.

Xiao Feng Wu grabbed some salve, applying some onto Qin Ming Yue’s bruising, 

“Did it hurt when you were kneeling?”

Qin Ming Yue thought, of course, but there was too much in this lifetime that has hurt him, so what did it matter if it was only for one night.

Not hearing a response, Xiao Feng Wu said the words that were always held inside the heart of a benevolent physician, 

“You have to love your body, care for it. The more you keep kneeling, the more your knees will be injured, and if it reaches the point of no return, you will no longer be able to stand on stage to sing again……”

Qin Ming Yue pulled his leg back with a loud rustle, as if he was a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, expressing his stubbornness that was never gone from his bones, 

“If I can’t sing, then I won’t. Would I starve to death otherwise huh.”

“Of course you won’t. You have me.” 

Xiao Feng Wu packed up the medicine bag and placed it on the table. Turning his head back, he saw Qin Ming Yue hug himself around the knees, his pair of eyes staring right at him with the corners slightly hooked up and embracing him with a seductive aura that could not be dispelled.

This was someone who has a soul and such a character, and how rare was it for someone to be like this. Even though Qin Ming Yue was merely a theatre actor of a lower status, his heart was stronger than anyone else’s, and it was only when he was with Xiao Feng Wu that the bones in his body would be willing to bend.

“Ming Yue……”

Xiao Feng Wu climbed up onto the bed, holding himself up with a hand by his side. Suddenly lowering his head, he bit lightly on the other’s pale white lips, holding onto them. Qin Ming Yue’s face and eyes trembled in response, but when he felt a hand sliding into his underwear, he subconsciously turned his head, avoiding the kiss. 

Staring straight at Xiao Feng Wu, he asked with a light and lost tone, 

“Am I a plaything……?”

Xiao Feng Wu paused, his expression surprised, and then facing up towards Qin Ming Yue’s serious face, he suddenly felt as if his heart was being squeezed and mashed into a mess by a shapeless hand and his breath caught in his throat.

“No……”

Xiao Feng Wu quietly said, 

“You’re not a plaything.”

The loving, sweet words spoken before had been spoken too lightly, which was only characteristic of a heart filled with no emotion. Now that his heart was full of Qin Ming Yue, he was tongue-tied and couldn’t even say a loving word of sweetness.

And that’s a wrap on Volume 6! And it wouldn’t be characteristic of me without leaving a long note on the volume endings lol. So some of you may have noticed I haven’t replied to the comments as I usually have (sometimes I do take longer, but I try to reply to all that I can!) and that is because… at the current moment, my family is dealing with a lot of things, including a sudden and unexpected loss in the family, and there’s just a lot of stuff to be dealt with that.

So in terms of releases, I will try to aim for the 1 chp every other week (as it’s nice to have some sort of schedule in my life lol) but as I don’t really know what is going to happen for the next few months because of everything that life has decided it wanted to throw my way, I can’t promise that it will be done. Most likely, the releases will be sporadic for the next couple of months, until everything is, I guess, “settled”. I’ll try to update the status page on when the next chapter will be released, but for now, I think the best answer I can give for when the next chapter release will be is it’s going to be sporadic.

There will, most probably, also be an update to this chapter as there’s a few footnotes I left out (regarding the past history/ceremonial stuff), but as I just currently don’t have the time to make sure they’re right/research a bit more, I will leave that for a future me lol (it was a bit of a miracle for this chapter to be done haha- thanks Plum <3). If you’re interested, I’d probably leave a note in the status page as well when I update this chapter with the footnotes! : )

In any case, I hope you all Galactic Judges have enjoyed this volume! Thank you for being the supportive readers you all have been so far in terms of this translation <3, and I hope to see you all soon! Hope you are also safe and may we all be able to tackle over whatever life is throwing at us : ) See you soon for the next chapter!
