You Su: I Have a Taste for Men

No, you're actually reminiscing about it?

He Kongyue's expression was strange; she pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak.

Suddenly, she felt that pursing her lips wasn't quite right either, since she and You Su had just parted their lips, and he seemed to be savoring the memory...

You Su coughed a few more times, choking on a lot of water. The feeling of drowning and suffocation was unforgettable; once experienced, it was something he could never forget.

His thoughts raced, and he immediately understood what he had been through.

It was Brother He who, with all his might, pulled him back from the brink of drowning.

"Thank you very much, Brother He..."

You Su is still very weak.

He Kongyue casually tied up his wet hair, revealing his handsome profile.

His expression was somewhat serious, as if he took what he was about to say very seriously:

"A true man should not be bound by trivial matters, especially when it involves human life. Do not dwell on this matter."

You Su was taken aback. Actually, he didn't mean to make it clear; he just wanted to thank the other party for saving him.

As he was in a coma, he was unconscious when artificial respiration was performed, so it was clearly He Kongyue, who was also a man, who had to endure the psychological pressure.

But he actually turned around and told me not to take it to heart...

She wasn't the kind of foolish woman who would be coy and demand blame or accuse someone of insulting her reputation after being rescued, so why would she blame the person who saved her? She was too grateful to even think about it.

Just then, a few drops of water, still wet from the He Kongyue, slid down He Kongyue's alabaster cheeks and flowed to the corners of his mouth.

He subconsciously licked his lips, then spat out a little, only to realize he hadn't even wiped his mouth...

This action was naturally noticed by You Su, who felt deeply ashamed and sincerely said:

"I am deeply grateful to Brother He for saving me; You Su eternally thankful."

He Kongyue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Why was he so serious?

Did he think I was disgusted by his slight spitting out just now...?

Even if I really disliked it, I wouldn't do such a thing in front of this blind man...

After all, it was his own decision to save him. The other man was unconscious and unable to express himself. Perhaps You Su didn't want a grown man like him to breathe on him. If he then acted as if he regretted it and was disgusted, wouldn't that make You Su feel extremely guilty?

"There was a hair on my lip just now, nothing more."

He Kongyue calmly straightened her robes.

"Oh..."

You Su nodded slightly.

?

How embarrassing!

He Kongyue had been chatting and laughing with You Su for the first half of the night, but the second half felt even more awkward than when they first met. She couldn't help but say, annoyed:

"Brother You, it was just a matter of breathing to save someone, not a kiss. Why are you being so dramatic? You wouldn't happen to be gay, would you?"

"Ah?"

You Su exclaimed in surprise, "Why is Brother He accusing him of being pretentious?"

Actually, he didn't feel at all that He Kongyue sticking out her tongue was a sign of dislike towards him; expressing his gratitude formally was simply his habit.

He Kongyue, however, had to explain why she was sticking out her tongue, which made You Su feel that He Kongyue was the one who was truly bothered by it, and he, as the rescued person, was too embarrassed to say anything more.

"I didn't expect... Brother He saw through that..."

You Su kept his head down, his voice barely audible, "Brother He, please don't find me unpleasant..."

He Kongyue's eyes widened instantly, staring incredulously at the seemingly shy man.

So all my telling you not to worry about it was unnecessary!

This blind man not only doesn't mind, he even feels like he's gotten a good deal?!

He Kongyue took a few deep breaths, suppressing the urge to speak Tibetan.

Born into a prominent family, he naturally had a broader perspective. Those with money and power were more free to pursue the people they truly loved, and homosexuality was commonplace among them.

He didn't understand, but he respected; that was his upbringing.

But I won't become the object of those people's affections; that's my bottom line.

"It's just homosexuality... it's normal, it's not even a matter of dislike." He Kongyue cleared her throat.

"That..."

You Su deliberately dragged out the tone, making He Kongyue gasp for breath.

Where is Brother He?

"You Su!"

He Kongyue hearing this question, He Kongyue's anxiety finally subsided. He became more serious than ever before, even addressing You Su by his given name instead of calling him "Brother You."

"I hope you don't misunderstand. I only did that to save you. I only consider you a friend, and I have no other intentions. I advise you to give up these unrealistic fantasies!"

He Kongyue felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about how they had spent so much time together these past few days.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was also a disadvantage of being blind?

Since they cannot see men and women, they mistake all feelings of affection for liking, thus disregarding gender?

Unexpectedly, in such a serious atmosphere, You Su burst out laughing. Not only that, but he laughed even harder, making him, who was already short of breath, cough repeatedly.

"Brother You, I'm not joking!"

He Kongyue was furious, his expression meticulous; he had never seen You Su so happy before.

"Hahaha... I know Brother He isn't joking, but I really am." You Su laughed and patted his chest to catch his breath. "Brother He, there's no need to be nervous. You Su can still tell the difference between men and women."

He Kongyue winked and made faces, unable to tell whether You Su was lying or just ashamed to admit being rejected.

How can you prove it?!

You Su stopped laughing, realizing that the other party might have really misunderstood. How could they be brothers after that?

He was the elder brother, He Kongyue the younger brother?

"If I truly had homosexual tendencies, how could I not have a single male friend?"

You Su gave his most convincing reason.

"Rumor has it that you're on good terms with Shi Yan, the newly accepted disciple of the Third Elder of the Xuanxiao Sect Shi Yan is burly and very masculine. I know quite a few men with homosexual tendencies, and many of them have this kind of physique..."

For some reason, You Su's handsome appearance subtly changed in He Kongyue's eyes, transforming into the muscular face he had previously disguised as, with a full beard and a thick face...

"Brother He, you know all this?"

You Su was slightly surprised. Even such trivial details were known, which meant that He Kongyue had investigated him thoroughly.

He Kongyue also felt slightly embarrassed. They were all just making friends, but he seemed to want to expose everything about the other person. He was worried that You Su would think he had ulterior motives, so he explained:

"Brother You is quite famous, so there are bound to be many rumors and gossip about him."

You Su didn't mind, after all, he had also investigated He Kongyue. The two had their own purposes in getting to know each other, but that didn't mean their friendship was fake.

"Brother He, you may not know this, but Shi Yan already has someone he loves, a female disciple of the Treasure Forging Sect. I also have a woman I love, so I was really just joking earlier."

"You can't make jokes like that..." He Kongyue shook her head, still shaken. "I almost couldn't look you in the eye."

You Su laughed and said, "I just wanted to tell a joke to lighten the mood. It can't be that Brother He is the only one making fun of me, but I can't make fun of Brother He, can I?"

He Kongyue rolled her eyes.

"However, to be fair, Brother He is dashing and debonair, with unparalleled family background and natural talent..."

Before You Su could finish his flattery, He Kongyue ruthlessly interrupted him, fearing that You Su would blurt out something like, "If it's Brother He's word, then it's not unacceptable."

"Stop, stop. You just got back from the brink of death, so calm down. I always thought Brother You was an honest man, but now I realize I was wrong."

"You Su is indeed an honest man."

He Kongyue glanced at You Su. The young man had delicate features and a resolute face, but there was a hint of malice hidden in the corner of his eyes.

Is this what the blind man truly looks like...?

"Is the injury on your back any better?"

After You Su's outburst, the awkward atmosphere vanished, He Kongyue naturally moved on from the matter of the two breathing into each other's mouths.

"Just wait a bit."

You Su was very confident in the power of Tai Sui. This injury might seem serious to others, but it was nothing compared to the injuries he had suffered before.

"Brother You, don't be reckless next time. You're under my protection, so just stay behind me."

"Clear."

You Su outwardly agreed, but inwardly he didn't think so. It was true that the other party's cultivation was a whole major realm higher than his, but as friends, their status was equal. How could there always be a brother who would step forward while the other hid behind him?

He Kongyue shook her head, then made a hand Technique Method and chanted an incantation before placing her hands on her collarbone.

Steam began to rise slowly from his body, and the remaining water on his clothes and the damp patches on his robes dried at a visible speed.

Before long, he had transformed from a handsome young man fresh from a bath into a dashing young master from a prominent Henggao City.

However, You Su was not so comfortable. He was weak and soaked in sweat in the dead of winter, and couldn't help but shiver several times.

He Kongyue hesitated for a moment, then Hand Seals You Su's collarbone.

"Say it if you feel unwell."

He then slowly began to circulate his internal energy, and his fingertips began to transmit a continuous stream of heat into You Su's body.

The heat wasn't too intense, but it was still a bit too much for someone who had just crawled back from the brink of death.

You Su groaned and gritted her teeth to endure the pain, but the wound on her back was so delicate that the heat made it feel like she was being burned by an open flame, causing a searing, piercing pain.

He Kongyue was helpless, not understanding why You Su liked to force himself so much, and told him everything that hurt him.

He withdrew his hand and helped You Su, who had just recovered her senses, to sit up.

You Su must keep his body dry and warm. Since internal energy can't help him, he can only use external force.

Without hesitation, He Kongyue grabbed You Su by the collar and pulled it outwards, completely tearing open You Su's tattered robes and revealing the boy's strong and powerful upper body.

He then removed the Fire Blanket that had been draped over You Su, wiped the water off his body, and cleaned the damp, festering wound on his back. He also thoughtfully applied medicinal powder and bandaged it up.

His movements were clumsy, clearly indicating that this young master was not used to serving others and was always the one being served.

"I'll handle the rest myself."

You Su pulled on her belt, protecting her last 'bottom line'.

After everything was taken care of, You Su changed into new clothes and looked much better. However, the Fire Blanket was soaked through and covered in bloodstains, making it completely unusable.

"We don't have any new Fire Blanket, so use the one I gave you last time."

You Su did as instructed, but his keen sense of smell revealed a slight difference in the scents emanating from the two Fire Blanket.

The scent on the towel He Kongyue gave her was very faint, but the one she used to wipe her body had a subtle fragrance, and the scent seemed somewhat familiar.

He voiced his question:

"Why do these two blankets smell different?"

He Kongyue was slightly taken aback and regretted her actions. In her haste, she had taken out the towel and covered You Su with it, forgetting that it was a bath towel she had used herself.

"Oh no, because I used that paper to wipe my feet..."

He Kongyue feigned extreme regret.

You Su had a strange expression on her face. She used a towel she'd used to wipe my feet to clean my wound?!

"Oh no, I'm probably going to get athlete's foot on my back."

You Su, of course, did not believe He Kongyue's words, knowing that he was probably just playing a trick on her.

He Kongyue couldn't help but chuckle; the seemingly dull You Su was actually quite witty.

"That's great. From now on, when Brother You sweat on his back, it will smell like Miss Yun Li's jade feet."

It doesn't matter who Miss Yun Li is; what matters is that You Su knows the source of the fragrance, which probably comes from a courtesan in a brothel.

However, You Su believed that He Kongyue would not do such a thing as using a blanket that a prostitute had used to wipe his wounds.

"Thank you," You Su said sincerely.

"After all, it was my fault that you got injured. If you had just left the valley and found a place to rest, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

He Kongyue took out some dried spirit beast meat, tossed a few pieces to You Su, and started chewing on them herself.

"Is this unexpected turn of events a fortuitous opportunity?"

"That's right. The earth shook and mountains trembled in an instant; this is a power only Void Glimpse Venerable possesses."

You Su was silent for a moment, then said apologetically:

"Brother He, why don't you leave me here to rest alone? You should go out and look for fortuitous opportunity. We finally made it to the vicinity of that tomb, but now the water has swept us away to who knows where. If you delay any longer, you might not even get any scraps."

"I don't value Cheng Ying Venerable's fortuitous opportunity that much. I'm just out having some fun. How could I possibly leave Brother You here alone?"

It was just a one-night stand, but their relationship went from ordinary friends to close confidants, and now they've become true friends who can joke around with each other.

He Kongyue also didn't want You Su to continue taking risks. The secret behind the mere Cheng Ying Venerable was not enough to reveal the truth of this world, and it wasn't worth risking everything for it.

Upon hearing this, You Su's expression darkened, and He Kongyue noticed all of this.

"What, you really want this Venerable One's fortuitous opportunity?"

"I want that sword."

You Su's answer surprised He Kongyue, who had assumed that You Su was only doing this to complete the task assigned by the Evil Warding Department.

"The natal immortal Immortal Sword nurtured by Void Glimpse Venerable is indeed rare, but it is not something that can be taken casually. The most important thing now is to rest well. Perhaps by the time we arrive, the immortal Immortal Sword may not have been pulled out yet," He Kongyue comforted him.

You Su nodded in agreement and obediently began to gnaw on the rare jerky containing Mystic Qi.

The Legend of Immortal Sword was a gift he wanted to prepare for his junior sister, and he was willing to try for it if given the chance.

He didn't hesitate at all, and actually took out the Dragon Marrow Pill that the Head Elder had given him and swallowed it in one gulp.

He Kongyue was dumbfounded. Everything happened so fast that he didn't even have time to stop it. He secretly sighed, wondering how You Su could be even more extravagant than him. How could he take the Dragon Marrow Pill, which could heal flesh and bones, as a Golden Wound Pill for such a minor injury?

Why don't you be the spoiled brat?

You Su's idea was simple: out with the old, in with the new. He didn't believe that if he finished eating and asked the Evil Warding Department more, they wouldn't give it to him.

Instantly, a vast and pure Mystic Qi enveloped You Su's spiritual platform, and from there, it continuously spread out to his limbs.

You Su quickly sat up straight and meditated, absorbing this amazing healing power.

Seeing He Kongyue You Su had entered a meditative state, He Kongyue did not disturb him. Instead, she carefully inscribed Formation Technique around the area to prevent any disturbance from insects, flies, snakes, or beasts.

He was exhausted after leading You Su for so long. Before closing his eyes to rest, he pulled the Fire Blanket that had slipped off You Su.

Well.

How could you be so blind? That woman is completely unworthy to be your master; getting close to her will only bring misfortune...

I He Kongyue... am determined to win you over!

I want to thank everyone who voted for me at the beginning of the month, you guys are true fans, I'm so touched haha
