23 Twenty Three: Undeserving of Love

[]

Shao Liling stayed silent, not knowing what to do, it was as if her lips were stuck together, even her eyes seem to have frozen as she stared in horror. She had never experienced something like this.

Ye MinFeng, now with his face scrunched up with discomfort and pain, also which was extremely red. His knees now against his chair as he sat in a weird position in the bus. Luckily, there was not a lot of people at the the back so no one knew of his erection.

MinFeng cursed to himself, knowing fully that it was because of Shao Liling's kiss just now, which he was sure of, and NOT because he got to see her cute bunny undies, he swore to god.

Shao Liling's head was filled with thoughts. That what she saw just now definitely wasn't a hardon, and the tent-y looking thing poking from below MinFeng's pants wasn't what she thinks it is. At least she hoped so.

"Uhhh, so should we stil go....?"

She asked, with hesitation.

"Y-yeah, don't let this c-come in the way"

Both of them avoided gazes now, embarrassment written on their faces as they both faced the opposite directions. The bus had been going for at least ten minutes now, and a stop was coming up soon.

"We have to get out at the next one"

Shao Liling nodded timidly and smoothened her wrinkly skirt and stood up, with MinFeng already walking towards the exit, both of them got out of the bus, and Ye MinFeng led the way, going around towards a hotel. She was a bit confused, but didn't ruin the atmosphere and entered the lobby. It wasn't somewhere really extravagant, something she was used to, but did not mind staring around the plants, which were decorating the sides of the path going inside and continued their way in.

As they entered, what Shao Liling first noticed was, that the hotel was deserted, except for the receptionist who looked passed out, maybe she had fallen asleep? She grew a bit suspicious, but trusted Ye MinFeng since he looked like he already had the key, and was making his way towards the elevator at the end of the narrow hallway.

Ye MinFeng continued avoiding eye contact, with the very obvious thing standing upright in his pants, he tried hiding it, but it was impossible, now that Shao Liling wasn't leaving his side, his little friend also seemed determined not to leave just yet.

Shao Liling now was finding it funny, how he avoided looking at her, and pretended as if he checking the interior of the elevator out. But since the elevator was made out of steel, the image on the wall looked as clearly as if in a mirror. She can still see the the erection against his pants as it looked suffocating, praying to the god for being so generous and not making her a different gender, or else she might have also had that kind of problem by looking at herself, like who wouldn't?

The elevator seems to have reached its floor as MinFeng headed out first, as his long legs took big strides and left behind Shao Liling trying to keep up to him, the hallway here seem to be like an endless tunnel and it took quite of concentration to see the end of the hallway clearly.

Shao Liling saw MinFeng entering a random room and memorized the number from faraway, and hurriedly went towards its direction. She huffed out several deep breaths as she reached there finally, peeking through the small space from the open crack. She pushed it open and entered it, as she saw that the room was completely void from any person in there, 'Where did he go?' She thought before turning around, as she was met by a sharp object behind her knees as she looked down, and saw a hand, with an injection in their hand, as she saw MinFeng's devastated face before the dizziness overtook her, and she blacked out cold.

His hands were shaking, quickly trying to take out the sedative and transfer it into the injection as fast as possible. His breath was ragged, his tail on full alert against the back of his jacket, as his heartbeat fastened. Beads of sweat trickling down his forehead, as his bangs stuck on it from the moisture.

He felt extremely bad, as he heard the footsteps nearing, and swiftly went inside the bathroom connected to the room. He looked around, and sat down, with tears of guilt leaving his round eyes. He was devastated, he had to do this. The injection in his hand was tossed inside the bathtub as he stared at it with anger. He wondered why he couldn't ever found happiness, but it seemed like he did not deserve it, every time his feelings restored, something had to ruin it. The happiness he had never seem to have experienced for long. He wondered, why did she have to be born in the family, his master despised the most? Why did Shao Liling had to come to that gaming shop that day? Why did she kiss him, knowing that he was half animal? Why? Just why did it have to be her, that had to be their next target?

His eyes were stinging, as he stared into the mirror, his cheeks covered in tears, as his thin lips were smiling downwards, with his head lowered slightly. His vision slightly blurred, as he heard the footsteps entering the room, as he daringly picked up injection, and faced his reflection the last time and thought to himself, 'undeserving of love'.

He exited the bathroom like a spy, as he stared at the back of the girl, who made him go crazy, just from her scent, as he saw her looking around. He stood there frozen for a millisecond as he soon realized the purpose of being here, he had to sedate her.

He brought out his coiled arm, as he targeted the visible vein of Shao Liling at the back of her knee, from her white skin. He quickly inserted it, just as Shao Liling seemed to turn around, her expression unreadable, as he thought it was nothing but confusion written on her face, as she fell down, and her eyes closed. He kept reminiscing about the expression before she finally blacked out, as people started to enter the room, and brought her somewhere with them, since the whole process had gone accordingly to their plan.

A person came to him, someone who was like a brother to him, as he engulfed him in a hug, his tears continued making its way out, making it seem endless.

"You don't have to cry over it. You did it MinFeng, think how proud master will be, when he finds out you had done it perfectly?"

MinFeng was a bit more positive from the reassurance now, and relaxed a bit, swallowing the lump inside his throat, as he spoke out.

"She was there for me, and I....I.."

"It doesn't matter now, I'm here for you. I'll always be by your side"

The both of them stayed in that position for a long time, hugging each other, and let go when all the other staff had already exited it.

As MinFeng followed the trail of the other workers, his friend took out his phone and quickly texted someone.

Him: The tasks done master, I hope you have your payment ready.

Boss: Well done, thanks for this,

Kim.
