Valentine with papa dragon! (3)

"Don't leave me."

"…"

Long Shan was hugging Xiaojun from behind. Xiaojun had his head resting on Long Shan's firm chest. He could hear the accelerating heartbeat of this gentle mafia boss. The scene was beautiful if one saw this from afar.

A handsome man being embraced by a big and strong man, surrounded by the beautiful flowers, one might think that this was a married couple's scenery.

Honestly, Long Shan had nothing in his head right now. He was just trying to absorb all this warmth he wished from the moon rabbit from his dream. He was grateful because a moment like this finally came to him.

The moment when his heartbeat finally accelerated, because then he realized that…

He really fell in love at first sight with Feng Xiaojun, his moon rabbit.

Meanwhile, Xiaojun was squealing in his heart;

'KYAAHH! Long Shan is so bold! His arm is so strong, and his chest feels so nice! I'm meltingggg!' Xiaojun was blushing hard. He could hardly contain himself.

'Ahhh, but he is hugging me without consent! Hm… does this count as sexual harassment? But I like his hug though, it's like… I'm hugging a big, handsome teddy bear, oh my goddd! My heart, stay still!'

But Xiaojun finally remembered Long Shan's status. If someone saw them like this, it would be a headline in the whole country, no matter what the title would be.

Xiaojun coughed once to warn Long Shan, although he tried to be serious, the blush on his face wouldn't lie, "M—Master Long, please release me…"

"Ah… I'm sorry," Long Shan released his hand from Xiaojun's waist. He tried to explain awkwardly, "I… I didn't mean to… Uhm… I just want you to stay…"

"Master Long, I don't understand what you want," Xiaojun distanced himself, "If it's about the land, I've given up. I shall not expand in case you are disturbed by the presence of my company."

"No, it's not about that," Long Shan said. He was thinking hard on how to make Xiaojun stay, "I just… want you to stay a bit longer."

"Why?"

"Because…" Long Shan gulped. He didn't think it was a good time to confess his feelings. But at least, he should try to cultivate some feelings inside Xiaojun, so his chance would be bigger in the end.

"I just think that we can learn so much more together…" Long Shan said.

'Aw man… I really thought that he is going to confess. Am I overthinking things?' Xiaojun actually expected Long Shan to confess for real, but in the end, he also didn't know what to say if Long Shan truly confessed.

Long Shan returned to his seat and said, "Please enjoy yourself. Maybe we can find something in common after we get to know each other."

Xiaojun sat on the seat again. He was careful as he observed the man. Long Shan wore a traditional black with red stripes Hanfu for a man. He looked majestic, like an emperor in his lazy day.

His gaze was sharp and deep. It penetrated Xiaojun's marrow bone. But Xiaojun also noticed a worry in his eyes, maybe some kind of nervousness, "Master Long, I wonder what causes you to stop me from leaving."

'Because you are my moon rabbit…' Long Shan thought, but he shook his head and replied with, "I just think that it would be better if we know each other. Since my territory is far and wide, it would collide with your expansion again in the future. So it is better if we are in a good term."

"I see…" Xiaojun stared at Long Shan, 'Aww… he is not going to confess…'

Xiaojun looked around the simple room and saw many carved wood statues and some bonsai trees that were well maintained. He asked, "Master Long seems to be a treasurer of serenity."

"A-Ah… yes, I love carving small statues, taking care of my bonsai trees, and my flower garden," Long Shan had a faint blush on his cheek, "It may sound too feminine for a man like me, but I appreciate the beauty in serenity, indeed."

Xiaojun also found that funny. Most of the time, Mafia bosses' favorite hobby was a woman and lavish lifestyle. Like the rest of those rich people, they would waste their money buying a yacht and play with many women on the deck. They would also flock their money to social media as if it was nothing.

Xiaojun hated that. He always thought that a vain lifestyle was not his style at all. In fact, Xiaojun still didn't have an official social media account on weibo. It was only him and his anonym account to read BL books and many things online.

He noticed that it was rare for someone as powerful and wealthy as Long Shan to be mostly unknown and stayed anonymous. Long Shan must have controlled the media to stop any press about him.

At least, he and Long Shan had something in common.

"Not at all, Master Long," Xiaojun smiled sincerely, "I think that your hobby is very exquisite and beautiful. I also noticed that carved sign on your door, Tao Yuanming's poem, wasn't it?"

Long Shan widened his eyes, "You know about Tao Yuanming?!"

"But of course," Xiaojun smiled, "I love reading many books since I was a kid, and I've read some of Tao Yuanming's poetry. I think I still remember the next line of that part you carved on the door…"

At dusk, the mountain air is good.

Flocks of flying birds are returning home.

In this, there is a great truth.

But wanting to explain it, I forget the words.

Long Shan was astonished by Xiaojun's ability to recite an old, traditional poem. His allies and enemies sent women or men to woo him in any way possible, but they always used the crude seduction method that only disgusted Long Shan.

But this person seduced him beautifully by reciting the poem that he loved flawlessly. He looked at Xiaojun, who still had a sincere smile on his face as if it was no big deal.

Long Shan's heart beat faster. Maybe this was the right time to show his real hobby.

He gulped as he asked Xiaojun;

"Do you want to see my chrysanthemum garden?"
