We actually started dating!

"So are you coming back?" He asked me
"When are you going to come see me again?" Shang Qinghua asked him back in a hopeful tone.
"When you decided to stay, at that time i'll come and see you again" Mobei-Jun replied.
With eyes about to be filled with tears, i looked down, hoping he wouldn't see me.
It was ignorant of me to ignore his feelings and kept on chasing him when i wasn't ready to be by his side.
Like a undecisive brat, i kept on seeking his warmth when all i offered him was cold shoulders.
I thought seeing and being with him was enough and wishing to be more than our current relation that we had would destroy the connection between us.
But, isn't trying to repress his feelings and genuine affection would mean throwing him aside?
What was i doing all this time, he waited for me in search of hope of what my answers would be, but what i gave him was an uncertainty.
At this point, i groveled my knees and apologise to him while crying my eyes. Sorry, sorry.. i'm sorry..
"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong" he said.
"Please don't say that, i knew even if i had to reject you, keeping you stand by and letting you have your hopes up wasn't a great thing that i did to you.." Shang Qinghua replied, with tears bawling out his eyes.
I stood up from my knees and gave him a hug.
"So are you going to reject me this time?" Mobei-Jun asked.
"No.." I answered.

That day is when our relationship began to grow, we are now officially a couple, ehehe, with a grinning smile Shang Qinghua mumbled.
Mobei-Jun is a quiet person, especially when he is reading a book, or when he's bathing, or when sleeping. Unlike me who are a bit more on the noisy side.
He isn't picky either, black bean and rice are usually what he eat in a day. Since being cultivated in a higher state means eating less or not needing any food at all, he barely eats, for days or month.
He is easier to raise than a house cat, that part is true, 'big body small needs' they said.
He petted my head and place his arms around my back when we sleep together, petting my hair as we slowly doze to sleep.
His peculiar habits are.. peeking in the toilet, when i'm using it. I did spray him with the bidet when he's seeing too often.
Despite all that i find him extremely adorable, like a cute giant, his cute cold face is making me want to squish it, well.. maybe his face is more of an intimating face.. but i find that part cute!
Our relationship has been going on well so far. Even when we had conflicts, (he puts his socks on the pillow side of the bed), we immediately discussed it and reached a conclusion. (Now he only puts the socks on his pillow side of the bed)
Blissful life.. ah.. for the past 3 months my dating life has been nice, as of the work situatuon, my colleagues nor superiors haven't found it, i guess they were busy managing the registration for new student cultivators.
Since An Ding and Cang Qiong did not participate this year, (our members were full), there was no need for me to attend the meeting and do the preparation. What a breeze..

"Hey are you back?" I asked Mobei
He pull his socks and place his shoe on the entrance.
"Yeah" he replied.
"So uh hey? Do you want to go to the festival together?" I asked him
"What festival" Mobei replied.
I shrugged my head a bit and check the books that were placed in the racks.
"You know the water god? Apparently today is the birth of the water god, so they were celebrating it at the field uphill" i explained.
"There were barbeque and beef and pork! You like them don't you?"
"No.. not really.. i like your meat better now.."
He spoke while blushing and slighty covering his mouth.
"Ha?"
I looked at him, tilting my head, a bit puzzled.
Was he flirting? Is that a flirt? As a virgin new in this matter i do not know how to differentiate a flirt and a joke.
"Y,yes.. i'll go with you.. together, to the festival.." he stuttered out the words.
