Getting Along

'I'm glad they got along so quickly. I don't know what I would of done if they started fighting each other.'

"Do you two want some food? I brought a lot."

"I'd love some!" Li Lian said reaching out for the food while dragging Yao Ya along

"Thank you for bringing it for us." Yao Ya said making a seemingly strained smile

"What did you two talk about? Do you you know where you two want to go next?"

"We weren't talking about anything important, but we didn't decide on anywhere either. Why don't you just show me around the city?" Li Lian spoke for both of them

"Alight then, although I don't really know much about the city I could show you a general layout of the place."

As I take the lead to start my little tour something got a hold of my right arm. It was Li Lian and only a moment later my left arm was taken as well. When I looked over I saw Yao Ya give a small smile. It was probably just my imagination but I thought I saw Yao Ya give death glare at Li Lian for a split second.

"Mmm.. this is really good! You should try it Ip Cheng" A meat skewer pops into view from my left, it was barbeque meat with some kind of sauce drizzled over it

"Is it really? Okay I'll try it." Leaning in for a bite I expected maybe some kind sweet barbeque taste, but instead there was mostly bread and a little bit of sweet meat. Looking down at what I had eaten the skewer was actually pushed aside while a bun was shoved in my mouth.

Tracing it's origins I followed the hand to the arm and found it connects to Li Lian.

"This one is clearly better than hers, so I'll share some with you, now eat it!" she said with a little aggression, for some reason

"Ugh! Hey, he was gonna eat this! How could you just force your meat bun in his mouth!"

"Well, he doesn't seem to be complaining now is he?"

"Th-That's because you stuffed his mouth! Now try a bite of this." removing the bun in my mouth and replacing it with the skewer

"How is it? Is it good?"

"Yes, they're both good."

"Wha-What? You have to choose one, how could her skewer be better then my bun?"

Before Yao Ya was completely out of view a smirk was on her face as she looked over at Li Lian.

"Well it's not like they are the same food right? They both have their good qualities that the other might not have. Besides they really were both good I might go back later to get some."

After a little while we had eaten all the food, although it was mostly me. They both would take a few bites before giving a sizable portion of it over to me to finish.

While this was happening I noticed quite a few gazes looking over at us, but the girls didn't even seem to notice. Even after we left the market some people were still looking over. It better not be what I think they're looking at.

..

When we entered the shopping district the girls seemed a little excited as we went farther down the street. As we were just about to pass by a store they both were in sync as they started dragging me into a store at the same time.

Inside the place was full of clothes. Many robes, dresses, and accessories were filled my vision as they both scattered in different directions soon after crossing the door way. As I was left alone I went around the place to check out what kind of clothes and accessories they had.

Some time later I felt some taps on both sides of my shoulders. Turning around I saw both of them, but it seems like nothing had changed at all even after taking a closer look.

"We're ready let's continue and move on to the next area." they said going back to their positions beside me.

"Did you two buy anything?" A puzzled expression could be seen on my face as we were in there for at least a half an hour

"No, we didn't see anything we liked." Li Lian responded with a light smile

"Okay then, let's keep going."

…

"Aright that's pretty much all of it or at least what I know of the place."

We had made a full loop as we were currently back at the food stalls and I was starting to get hungry again so I decided to go buy another barbeque meat skewer and Char Siu meat bun from those venders again.

I had left the two girls for a bit to get the food again, but I couldn't help myself as I felt like I was starving and took a bite of each to taste those flavors again. Weirdly the two items were significantly worse then I remember it being.

When I reached the two minor looks of panic appeared and disappeared from their faces almost instantaneous.

"Did you try the food without us?" Yao Ya said while reaching out for the skewer in my hand

"The food will only taste good when it is fed by us to you." Li Lian said snatching the meat bun out of my hand

They proceeded to then feed me the food I had already tasted earlier. She was right somehow, the flavor from earlier was immediately enhanced back to when they fed me before. Is this a psychological thing? Is it because I'm being fed by two beautiful women that it tastes so much better then before?

"Maybe you two can feed me all the time then." I said jokingly, but I felt like I saw a small glint in their eyes when I said that

..

"It's getting late we should head back now." tilting my head towards the sky to see the sun

"Aright, where does Big Sister Lian live?"

'That's nice they're already friends now, I feel like this has been a good day.'

"She uh.. lives in-" Before I could make up an excuse she had already said something

"I live with Brother Cheng in his room."

"Y-You what!? You get to live with him in his room!? T-That's not fair! Why do you get to live with him while I'm on the other side of the mountain? I've never even seen you in the sect before actually, how are you able to even get in?"

"I have my ways, but why does me living with him irritate you so much?"

"B-Because.. he's a man and you're a woman! You shouldn't share a room with him unless you have a certain.. relationship with him."

"Come on let's go you guy's can keep talking about this later it's getting dark."

When we came within sight of the entrance of our sect Li Lian turned into a spider and climbed onto my shoulder.

I wanted to see Yao Ya reaction and she was stunned. Her eyes had widen and her mouth was agape as she stared at the small spider moving around my shoulder. She was utterly shocked at the sight of what she had probably thought was a human turn into a little spider that proceeded to agilely jump and moving around my shoulders like it was never a human in the first place.
