This Crayfish Is Not Edible - Chapter 208

In the middle of the movie, Xia’s stomach growled loudly. So they both walked out to buy the so-called popcorn. Buying a bucket, each Xia dragged the reluctant dragon inside the movie theatre.

After the break, the movie became quite…..saucy. The main leads were kissing too intimately on screen. Xia couldn’t help but blush. He glanced down at his golden dragon and nudged him with his elbow. “Long, the movie its…..its….”

“What…what’s wrong? Is it too scary? Shall I hug you,” Long Aotian said, peeping out from his coat.

Xia blushed red and shook his head. This time it was his turn to cower under his coat. He hugged Long and nuzzled against his chest. “It’s too weird…..” he whispered softly. His voice dripped like honey in the dragon’s ears.

Long held back his growl and bravely looked up at the screen. What he saw made him freeze. He saw two men kissing intimately, and they were stripping. “You should not see such pictures…that butler… I knew he was plotting something,” Lon grumbled, covering the little crayfishes head with his coat this time. He wanted to walk away, but Xia enjoyed the ‘movie’ a lot. With a sigh, they came to a compromise.

Whenever there was an intimate scene Long covered Xia’s head and whenever there was a scary scenes, Xia covered Long’s head. This way the pair watched the movie successfully.

But it was not the case for someone who was sitting on the back. Bao and his butler sat stiffly in the movie theatre. The fox demon coughed awkwardly and stuffed his face with popcorn every time there was an intimate scene. ‘Goddess why did we plan this movie for them,’ he grumblingly thought. His eyes subtly went over to his butler, who was glancing at the floor.

Boa leaned closer. “Ziyuan*” he whispered softly.

The butler shuddered and glanced up at him with his eyes wide open. “M—master…why..Why are you calling me by my n—name?” he stuttered.

Under the blinking lights of the movie, Boa was clearly able to see his blush. Holding back his smile, he whispered once again, “Ziyuan~”

The butler glared at him with tears in his eyes. “D—don’t say my name!”

The glare was not intimidating at all. He looked more like a bullied little animal who was glancing at the hungry fox in front of him.

“Why not? Didn’t you give me permission to call you by your name in private, Ziyuan?” Bao whispered with a small smirk.

The butler’s face went red. He gripped onto his pants tightly and glanced at the ground with a bullied expression.

“Look at me, Ziyuan…” Bao whispered.

“N—no,” The butler refused to look up at him. His chin was gripped and pulled up to meet his master’s charismatic eyes. Just with one look was enough to see deep into his thoughts and soul. The butler gasped softly and closed his eyes firmly.

“Why are you scared?” Bao whispered. He breathed in his butler’s scent, a mild tinge of coffee and sweet milk.

His butler refused to look at him and shook his head. ‘I fear…my deepest desires will be exposed’ he thought biting into his lips. His master’s warm thumb caressed his lips. “Don’t bite,” a hoarse voice whispered above him.

Boa peered at him. He softly caressed his brows; his nose, then he cupped his face and pulled him towards him.

Inconspicuous kissing sounds came from the screen, making the mood even more ambiguous. Boa licked his dry lips and glanced at Ziyuan’s lips again. They looked pink, like a phoney. “Your looks fit your name…..just like a fresh aster*,”

“I—I am an aster* flower m—master,” The butler mumbled with his eyes still closed. He could feel the warm breath on his face, which made him pant a little. In fear of being discovered, he lowered his head.

“Ziyuan, open your eyes…..I command you to,” Bao whispered softly.

The butler finally blinked, opened his eyes. He glanced at his master’s collar and his tie, not his eyes.

“Look up,” he commanded.

Without any objection, the butler followed his command. He glanced at his deep red eyes and bit his lips nervously. “M—master….”

“Yes…Ziyuan…”

“Don’t play with my feelings,” the butler said and pulled away from him. He gripped tightly onto the armrest and glanced straight at the screen.

“But I’m not playing with you…” Bao tried to grab hold of his hands, but the flower demon kept avoiding.

“Master…you have a family now..You shouldn’t be with me. You should be with her, not me. …..and young master Sheng, what would he think if he found out you don’t love his mother.” The butler said and stood up all of a sudden. “So please….please don’t give me false hope. I am but a flower I might wilt,” he said and ran out.

Baffled Boa rushed after him. Just out the door Ziyuan stood frozen, watching something. “Ziyuan, I’m not playing with you. I genuinely…..” he paused, seeing someone familiar. “Little Sheng and Sheng’s mother?!”

The two in question looked at them. “Daddy!” Sheng Sheng screamed and hugged his leg. And Sheng’s mother was just a step behind she steeped over and whispered, “Sheng don’t call everyone daddy. Sorry about that…..and thank you so much for helping me last time….it was entirely my fault. I should not have driven while playing with my phone,” she said with a guilty smirk.

Watching their exchange, the butler’s face went down cast. He sadly walked away. On the way out, he shouldered into another woman. “I’m sorry,” he whispered without looking up.

“oh…oh, it’s okay. Its you… I wish to thank you so much,” the woman said excitedly.

The butler looked up with a questioning gaze. ‘I never met this woman before so why is she thanking me’ he thought.

Noticing his confusion, the woman introduced herself, “ahh, how rude of me, I’m Clair, Gillian’s lover,” she said in English.

“Oh…..who’s Gillian?” The butler whispered in chopped up English.

The woman chuckled out loud and gestured to Sheng’s mother. “She is Gillian,”

“Oh…OHhhhhhhh,” mouth agape, the butler glanced at them both. “You two…are lovers?”

“Yes, we are. We started dating just last month. We…clicked,” Clair shrugged. After saying this, she walked up to Gillian and hugged her from behind.

Bao watched this confusedly.

Noticing this, Gillian quickly introduced the two. “This is my girlfriend, Clair. And this is my saviour, if not for him I would not have been alive,” she said.

“Thank you so much,” Clair said, shaking the stunned fox demon’s hands.

Awkwardly, Bao smirked. But somewhere in his heart he was quite relieved. He glanced down at the little kid clinging to him and patted his head. “You have two mothers. You happy?”

“Yes, Clair takes me on bike rides.” Sheng said cheerfully.

Leaning down he softly whispered, “Ah, looks like you don’t miss daddy,”

“I miss daddy the most,” Sheng whispered inaudibly and hugged him tight.

Seeing this, Gillian softly urged him to let go. “Don’t be a nuisance to them. Come on, let’s go before the movie starts,” she said and said her goodbyes. On the way Sheng glanced back and mouthed, ‘it’s nice having two moms and a dad,’

Boa chuckled and waved him bye. He felt a presence next to him. “I’m still family to him, even if I’m not together with his mother. Now….do you understand me?”

“Understand what?” a soft voice whispered playfully.

Bao snapped his head around to meet the playful look of his master Xia. He was standing with his hands on his hips and glancing at him with his eyebrows raised. “By the way what are you doing here?”

“M—me? I’m here to see the movie hahaha,” Bao awkwardly laughed.

“Really? You weren’t spying on us?” Long said skeptically, glancing at him up and down.

“N—no I was on the way saw this movie and wanted to watch it, but it was valentine’s day and….” he nervously blabbered on. Suddenly a hand held his hands softly. Startled, Boa glanced down to find Ziyuan holding his hands voluntarily.

The butler coughed and whispered, “I hope you understand Master Xia,”

“Oh my god!!!! You two…you two are together!! From when?” Xia shouted, hugging them both. He was ecstatic to know that his friends love each other. “How? You got to tell me everything…” he cheerfully pulled them over to a nearby seat.

Blushing, the butler kept looking down at the floor, yet his hand never separated from the fox demon. He threw a small glanced at his master Bao shyly.

Bao coughed out loud and hid his flushed face.

“Come on, Bao. Tell me. How did this happen? I’m dying of curiosity,” Xia whined.

Bao glanced at him with a smirk. “Well….it started thousand years ago… he was a flower in my garden. I guess it was love at first sight,” he mumbled softly.

The butler’s head snapped towards him. “You loved from then on…..but why did you say you were pursuing Sheng’s mother…..” with each word his voice went down a decibel in the end he was as loud as a mosquito.

Bao gripped his hand slightly. “I wanted to make you jealous. Because you never gave me any indication. I tried flirting with you but you…were stoic,” he grumbled.

“I was not!!” the butler exclaimed.

“You were. Last year when we slept together, you left me cold in the bed. I wanted to cuddle with you so bad,” Bao added with a sad expression.

“It was because I had work in the morning. The manor does not run by itself I have to run It.” the butler fired back.”

“See, even now you care more about the manor than about me,” Bao whispered with an angry pout.

“Master! If you hadn’t fired every servant, you would have got your cuddle,” The butler explained with a wronged expression.

A moment of silence prevailed.

Boa turned over to the flower demon. “Really? Can I still have my cuddle?”

With a blush, the butler nodded.

“awwww,” Xia cooed, watching them with his hands on his chin. “You guys are a perfect couple,”
