I Didn’t Do It on Purpose!

Mei Chao Bing patiently answered every one of Yun Bei Fen's questions until his little bunny failed to come up with any new ones. His lips curved up into a smile and he rubbed Yun Bei Fen's head. "Is that all you want to know?"

Yun Bei Fen's gaze flitted from one side to the other. He wanted to ask more but he couldn't come up with anything. Thus he could only nod.

"Does that mean it's my turn to ask questions now?"

Yun Bei Fen stiffened. It couldn't be that senior martial brother Mei had found out that he had been asking around about him, could it?! Then would he feel that he was being nosy or bothersome?

Seeing the little bunny look spooked, Mei Chao Bing couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile. Just what was he supposed to do? He just wanted to know a little more about the person he liked. Was that really such a strange thought? "Fen'er …"

"It's not that I did it on purpose!"

Mei Chao Bing raised his brows. "What didn't you do on purpose?"

"I … I didn't ask around or anything." He shook his head and glanced at Mei Chao Bing's face. His senior martial brother didn't look angry. Ah, as expected, it was better not to say the truth. He grabbed Mei Chao Bing's robe and lowered his gaze. "It's … it's just that my third senior martial brother likes to talk about things so he … told me about senior martial brother Mei."

"Oh." Mei Chao Bing nodded and patted Yun Bei Fen's hand, not bothering to expose his lies. If his little bunny didn't want to admit it, then he wouldn't force him either. "Unfortunately, I didn't have such a senior martial brother. They were all much older than me and long left the sect or attained a high position. So what about your life in the sect? Did they treat you nicely?"

Yun Bei Fen's eyes sparkled. Ah, senior martial brother Mei was so nice! The first thing he asked about was actually how he had lived in the sect until now. He was such a good person! "Senior martial brother Mei …" Yun Bei Fen hugged his neck and closed his eyes. He really couldn't understand how the other disciples could treat him so coldly.

"Fen'er?" Mei Chao Bing tried to look into his face but Yun Bei Fen had buried it in the nape his neck. Ah, what had he said just now for Yun Bei Fen to react like this? "Mn, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. I just … I just thought it would be nice to know more about each other."

"Mn!" Yun Bei Fen wiped at his eyes and looked up. "Senior martial brother Mei is right!"

"So?"

"It's …" Yun Bei Fen looked at his hands and continued to tug at Mei Chao Bing's robe. Could he tell him the truth? His own life had been much better than Mei Chao Bing's. His senior martial brothers were really nice people and his Master also doted on him very much. To senior martial brother Mei who had lost his Master and had been shunned by the other disciples … Wouldn't he feel hurt when he heard that others had lived so well?

Yun Bei Fen bit his lip. He couldn't lie to senior martial brother Mei though. He also didn't want him to think that he had had a hard life. Wouldn't that be asking for pity that he didn't deserve? Ah, even if he had lived harshly, it certainly hadn't been as hard as Mei Chao Bing's life. He didn't have the right to be pitied at all!

Mei Chao Bing furrowed his brows. "Don't tell me you didn't live well in the sect? Did anyone bully you?"

Yun Bei Fen froze. What was he supposed to say now?

The two of them looked at each other, one of them frozen stiff while the other couldn't help but worry. With neither of them saying a word, the conversation didn't advance at all and the worry on both sides grew even further.

Mei Chao Bing finally covered Yun Bei Fen's hands with his. "Fen'er, in the future, if anyone dares to be mean to you, then you can come and tell me. I'll make sure they'll leave you alone. You don't have to worry anymore."

Yun Bei Fen's eyes widened and he hastily sat up. "That's not it." He definitely couldn't let senior martial brother Mei believe he was doing bad! Even though it was nice to have Mei Chao Bing worry about him, that wasn't the right thing to do. If anything, then he should be the one worrying about his senior martial brother.

Mei Chao Bing also sat up and pulled the little bunny into his arms again. "Then what's the matter instead? You know you can tell me about it."

Yun Bei Fen bit his lip again but finally still turned around. "My Master is very nice."

"But your senior martial brothers aren't?"

Yun Bei Fen shook his head. "No, they're also very nice."

"Then … the other disciples …"

"The martial sisters from the other Masters dote on me very much."

Mei Chao Bing's lips twitched. Well, it figured. Such a cute little bunny. Even he wasn't able to resist him. Those martial sisters should be faring even worse. In that case, could it be … "Then do the martial brothers make trouble for you?" It was possible. What if they were envious because Yun Bei Fen was this popular?

Yun Bei Fen shook his head again. "No … They're also very nice. You remember that senior martial brother …" Yun Bei Fen blanked. Uh … What had his name been again? "Senior martial brother … Yin? Yan? Yang?"

Mei Chao Bing coughed. "You're talking about that Yang Wu Huang we met before?" Ah, look at this! His little bunny had already forgotten that person's name. It seemed he didn't have to worry at all. That Yang Wu Huang wouldn't be able to take advantage of him.

Yun Bei Fen's face lit up when Mei Chao Bing knew who he was talking about. "Yes! Him! Wasn't he also nice? He even offered to teach me how to use a flying sword."

Mei Chao Bing's smile collapsed. That person counted as 'nice'? So much for not having to worry that Yun Bei Fen would suffer for being too trusting. Mei Chao Bing leaned forward and cupped Yun Bei Fen's cheeks. "Fen'er …"

"Mn?"

"I know the two of us aren't that familiar yet and I shouldn't tell you what to do or not but … I feel that that Yang Wu Huang is no good. In the future, be a little careful around him, alright?"

Yun Bei Fen blinked, making Mei Chao Bing sigh.

"I know I shouldn't say this. I probably sound jealous right now. But he really doesn't give me a good feeling. I don't think he's an honest person. It's not that I want you not to have anything to do with him. I'm just worried so … please be careful. That's all I ask for."
