Bab 11: SECOND FLOOR
CHAPTER ELEVEN
WARNING : Yuan thought Feifei is a woman. He will refer to Feifei as a "she" or "her".
After checking on the walls and the outhouse, they went back to the main house.
"Its almost time for dinner. Why don't you eat here?"
Feifei observed Yuan's unchanging detached expression.
He almost vomited blood in exasperation.
They almost kissed!
But this man...
urgh!
"No. I should leave." Yuan whispered softly in refusal. "If you need anything, go to my mother."
Feifei looked at Yuan.
Is he afraid he would come looking for him instead?
Thus, the clear unambiguous statement? Feifei thought, deflated.
He would have loved to interact with Yuan more and bask under his splendor.
Who doesn't like to stare at tall, strong, very handsome men?! Despite his indifference, that is.
He meant nothing more.
He couldn't mean more.
And he wouldn't dare to mean more.
Just stare.
"Okay. Thank you for showing me the way." Feifei said mildly with a gentle smile. Not insisting for Yuan to stay.
Yuan might get ideas. Feifei smiled at the thought.
With his lashes half closed to hide his heated eyes, Yuan stared at Feifei fervently.
He would have liked to stay for dinner.
But he is afraid he would be eating her instead.
He groaned like a beast in heat.
His chest vibrating with desire.
"uhm." Yuan uttered in his low voice then abruptly escaped from the house with rapid, heavy steps.
Feifei : ?????
Feifei felt this Yuan is all looks but lacks upbringing!
What did he mean by rushing out?
Yuan couldn't be more obvious in expressing his dislike for him.
Hmpf..!
I won't like you too!
-----------------------------------------
Locking the front door in pique, Feifei went up. He exhaled in relief when he felt the wood planks, used as steps, were sturdy and steady.
On the second floor, he saw three rooms positioned side by side on the left side.
On the right side was a vacant wide space that has an elevated platform with a commanding view of the whole village and beyond.
How nice it would be nice if this platform is filled with vines and various flowers. Feifei thought.
Choosing the room nearest the stairs, he saw that opposite the door, there is an animal hide hanging at the wall.
The upper part of the hide is pinned by a nail while either sides were attached to hooks.
Displaying animal hide on the wall, isn't my cousin ostentatious?
This hide could be used for something useful!
If my Aunt knows how extravagant my cousin is, he would be beaten to death!
Feifei placed his buckskin and rolled up bag on the bed and walked over to the animal hide.
Would the fur be soft? Feifei wondered.
Touching the fur, he was shocked.
His hand almost went through!
With a frown, he unhooked each sides of the hide.
~oh~
Its a window!
Well, his cousin has good aesthetics. He begrudged.
He then looked for a rope to tie the animal hide.
From the window, all he can see are tall, dense trees and blue skies. But the air is nice. Its like the smell of earth after a rain. The smell he likes best.
Looking around the room, the bed at the middle is wide enough for three people, there is a small table beside it and a closet beside the table.
Better than expected!
Who thought of this careful layout? I'm sure it's not my cousin.
There is a touch of a woman in this considerate arrangement.
Thinking about the women fighting at the Town Market, he took a breath.
Does my cousin have a woman outside marriage?!
With his heart thumping, he was in a daze. It shouldn't be, right? He laughed mockingly to himself.
With a deep breath, he firmly criticized himself for thinking too much again.
No wonder his Master would despise him being idle. He would begin to think gibberish again.
Shaking his head, he just arranged all his clothes and necessities inside the closet and decided to wash his soiled clothes.
He has to take a full bath too!
For his bath, he rummage through his necessities.
He took his self made soap, and three different bottles of his self made products. A bottle of bath oil, hair oil and body cream.
Since he studied medicine he was obsessed with making different potions.
Taking a clean, white but wrinkled knee length tunic dress, he paused.
He did not see any barrel in the kitchen earlier.
How can he soak the tiredness away?
He almost roared in despair.
Can the big basin accommodate his size?
Looking down at his body, he doubt it. He would have to ask his cousin to buy a barrel his height.
Putting down the bottle of bath oil, he took the soiled clothes instead and the soap used for laundry.
He only brought one soap of this kind. Good thing his cousin has this in his storage room.
Clean change of clothes, his body soap, hair oil, body cream, soiled clothes, laundry soap.
Feifei thought for a bit then grabbed his body wipe and was ready to go.
