Rejected Confession. Xian Chen is back

" You didn't kill them, " Yu Bin said, hugging the crying Bao Fang.

"You didn't, they were already dead. You just stopped their pain" she added, hugging her harder tears falling down her face. She behaved so badly with her and it wasn't even her fault. Bao Fang was in pain and she added to her pain.

"I'm sorry master," Yu Bin said, hugging her master harder.

"I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. You were already hurt but I hurt you more. I said I'm always here to listen to you but instead of listening I accused you and behaved so harshly with you." She continued talking, tears falling down both girls' eyes.

One of them was feeling guilty for hurting the master she loved so much and the other was relieved that the one she loved the most in the world didn't hate her.

"Come let's sleep," Bao Fang said, turning around and wiping Yu Bin's tears then entering the tent she prepared a bed of her clothes for Yu Bin. It was Yu Bin's first time sleeping on the ground, so it will most likely be quite uncomfortable for her.

"Master…." Yu Bin called out in a slow voice but she heard her.

"Yes? "

"Will you hug me tonight?" Yu Bin asked without looking at her and Bao Fang hugged her. Her heartbeat calmed down Yu Bin and she fell asleep in a moment.

Waking up in the morning she found herself alone, her master not being there but getting out of the tent she saw her cooking outside.

"What are you doing master?" Yu Bin asked coming closer.

"Cooking, I caught a few fishes, and there was a rabbit so I took them and made us some food. " Bao Fang said, turning around smiling.

"You should stop killing this cute creature," Yu Bin said, pouting.

"What cute creature?" Bao Fang asked dumbfounded

"The rabbit master… "

"Oh, but there is no cuter creature than you, you are …" Bao Fang said but got interrupted by Yu Bin.

"Stop… don't say anything. Let's eat!" Yu Bin said, touching Bao Fang's lips with her finger and startling her completely.

*This girl is becoming more daring day by day. Let's see how daring is she* She thought, smirking and grabbing her hand she took it to her mouth kissing her.

"What are you doing master? " Yu Bin shouted, taking her hand back.

"Yu Bin, if you don't mean something don't do that thing," Bao Fang said looking at her sadly and Yu Bin got completely confused.

Why is her master sad now?

"Huh?"

"Hugging me, asking for hugs, touching my lips, whispering into my ear. Stop all this. It will make the other person think that you care about them. " Bao Fang said, confusing her more. She cared about her master then why was her master saying that? Yu Bin thought not comprehending what she was talking about.

"But I do care about you," she said looking into Bao Fang's eyes as if wanting to make sure that her master knows that she cares about her.

"Yu Bin, I'm not talking about loving care, I'm talking about Lover care," Bao Fang said, looking back into her eyes. The next moment Yu Bin dropped her face looking straight down, she didn't dare to look into Bao Fang's eyes anymore. What did she do? Will her master be hurt because of her now?

"Master, I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable, I never thought about that. I'm not in love with you. I…" Yu Bin tried her best to explain her actions, but she didn't know how to explain to her. She felt like whatever she would say would not be enough but got interrupted by her master.

"But I am…. Till some time ago I thought about you like my soulmate, my friend, the person I want to be happy forever….but, …but now….I…what I fell for you it's not just friend love, it's….I want to hold you in my arms forever, I want to be the one who makes you happy, to kiss you, hug you, embrace you…" Bao Fang tried her best to not cry. She didn't know when but she became so weak in front of Yu Bin. She never cried till now, yes she was sad, extremely sad but she never cried. Still, now she can't stop her tears from falling

"Master….I'm sorry" Yu Bin said looking down. The trembling voice of her master was like a knife that stabbed her heart again and again.

"Don't say sorry… Just let me stay by your side forever. I want to be your friend, your master, your protector. So don't push me aside." Coming back to her senses, Bao Fang said, raising Yu Bin's face and looking into her eyes. However hurt she will be, she will never let Yu Bin get hurt because of her. If she can't be her lover then she will be her friend, her shield.

"I will never push you aside master, I promise that I will always protect you, I will not let anyone hurt you if you will ever be sad I'll always be there for you. I can't love you as you do but I guarantee that I will always love you like my own soul." Yu Bin said, hugging her master. She could see that her master was in pain. What was her master thinking? Why would she think that she will push her aside?

"Ok, ok, let's eat then we need to look into the rest of the places. If he is not there we should hurry back. Maybe some other team already found him." Bao Fang said getting out of Yu Bin's embrace. The embrace was warm and nice to stay in, but Xian Chen was not found yet. After telling her feelings she felt calmer now. The only thing that remained was finding Xian Chen and bringing him home.

After they ate they packed their things and left.

A few days passed from the day Bao Fang told Yu Bin her feelings. They checked every place not finding Xian Chen and left home with the hope that some other team found him.

Entering the meeting hall Yu Bin and Bao Fang found everyone gathered there with their faces worried.

"No one found him? " Bao Fang asked, surprised. *If he wasn't in fire land, not on earth, not in heaven's realm then where. Is it possible that he is still in the realm of water?* Bao Fang thought when the door opened harshly and Xian Chen wobbled like he was about to fall.

"Master…" Xian Chen said and fell, losing his conscience.

"Xian Xian..."

"Brother Xian…"

"Prince…"

Everyone shouted terrified in one voice and Yu Bin caught him before touching the ground.

Bao Fang helped her and together they put Xian Chen on the bed inside Yu Bin's room, cleaning his wounds and waiting for him to wake up.
