As he looked, he saw a white shade standing behind the third shelf. Seeing that made his eyes change back to a normal color

Another sting came on his forehead and this made him squinted a little as he was not off guard this time around

As his eyes were still open, he managed to see that the things that were stinging him would turn to snowflakes and halfway while they fell, they became flagellated with touch of sparkling violet to lavender before disappearing into the air

When the visual stimuli was partly processed in his brain, the walls of Adrian s body gave birth to a pressure that was abnormally agressive. A pressure that rose from his ribs to his throat to his tongue and then to his head. A relay that was followed by confusion that commanded the brain releasing a ball of adrenaline that was solely aimed to the cardiac muscle , bombarding them and startling them to the extent that they wanted to break out of his chest.

He stopped starring at the space previously occupied by the snowflake and he looked to the figure that was emerging from behind the shelves.

Adrian felt his heart skipping and he half blinked as he felt his orbs slightly stinging. He probably didn't notice that but his throat was dry like he had actually be through a desert of some sort . The muscle at the back of his neck felt like a rust metal as it felt like it was halving difficulty metabolising

This annoying effect has been around for as long as Adrian has been coming to this library but he didn't read too much into it.

It started like it was just anxiety for meeting his teacher but then it became more frequent. So frequent that even in the absence of this being it felt like they are there until he realized that it's because the individual never left his mind so it's confusing his soul. The confusion that keeps the bag of tissues in his chest feeling like a stampede.

Of course it's a uncomfortable feeling and the best alternative is to talk about it but how should he tell him something like this .he were to start speaking, where would he begin and what does he have to respond. After all it because it bares no significance and it will fade away, right?

" Have you eaten? " , He asked Adrian feeling his eyes burrowing into him.

" Why hit me with ice?", Adrian quickly changed the subject

" You were about to set fire", he told him while busy arranging books on the shelf

Adrian wanted to walk to him and defend himself but he was too conflicted and the swarm of bees that were attacking his veins were not helping. As he was still debating that, the librarian instructed him to bring the books on the table.

Adrain was reluctant but he nonetheless proceeded to do so.

Ascending the small stairs, a view of this beauty was becoming clear and he was beyond breathtaking. He had the basic features that define someone who has extra-terrestial beauty. But it not only ends there.. Something that made him very unique is his incredibly perfectly curled eyelashes and the most bat like eyes in all of the wolf grounds. His eyes were incredibly beautiful such that looking at him is like staring at the moon. When he squints or at rare occasions smile ,his eyes curl alsomst like the sliced apple and gives him the hemispherical effect. To be honest, if he were to cover everything except his eyes, one would think that he is the personified form of a blue butterfly positioned on white roses. So marvelous!

As for his clothes, he wears the same colour as the cultivator but his cloth style is very much similar to Kijad.His hair however is very much different from how Kijad and everyone else keeps their hair. He had pushback all the back strands of hair and at the middle of his head he added a silver piece hair clip just for a touch of unique and then all the hair goes down. Just after the nape of his neck ,his hair is then braided all the way to his waist in a single long unit. All though it's a simple hairstyle, he very much looks like a noble especially when he is here looking at the books..

Adrian finally arrived next to him and he held the books. Subconsciously he looked at his hands as he was busy arranging the books.

The veins on his skin would dance evy now and then was he he placed his hnad in the table.He had slim hands and they were soft looking yes but no one has hands as delicately smooth as Adrian.

The young master of arts looked at his cheeks and they seemed like they had a colour that didn't exist in his face, considering that Adrian always looks like he has clear blood akin to a jellyfish.

The librarian s long lashes would blink softly and his breathing was gradual and partial minute almost as if he is just still like the eagles of the simulation pavilion

He looked like a normal person and he looked very warm ,almost like his hug would be very comfortable and very safe to rest

Adrian s lips half curled and at that instant the librarian twiched his lower lip and that slight motion, set an avalanche beyond definition

He felt his chest resqueeze again. He wanted to place his hand over it but then he would have to explain all of that he would rather not

He looked to the other side as he felt the emotions surge again

Of course he wants to avoid coming here at all costs but the instant he spends a day away from here , he feels bad and wants to see him plus he will also say that he wants to see Adrian

A few months ago when Adrian did not come to the library for a week, this lovely bookworm came through the night in the bone chilling coldness to Adrian s quarters

He didn't bring a warm coat, he just walked into from where ever he was and headed here. The mystery of how he found out Adrian s quarters will still echo

Adrian who at the moment was trying to distract himself by studying but he was failing brutally, was self-bullying himself as he felt awful for his decision. In his attempt to fade away the feeling in his body, it just feels like he tied himself to an elephant and jumped into water. And trying to call for help just speeds up how fast he is drowning..

The knock came twice and as much as he didn't have energy for his curiosity, he just marched to the window and opened it.

The moment he saw everything it felt surreal, it felt like a dream as he saw him standing in the cold like he is immune to it. He was not knocking but rather throwing ice at the window. And Adrian was so shocked at seeing him standing there, with his clothes flying in the wind, his signature braid and some of his hair also dancing in the wind. He kept throwing the snowflakes til he hit Adrian who was zapped back to reality. Instinctively Adrian climbed out the window and he pulled him into the room . When Adrian asked him if he is losing his mind, how can a bookworm like himself not know or rather be the one to ignore that cold night causes a cold or fever, he just looked like he saw no wrong in that.

All he said he couldn't sleep and he had no one to peel the apple for him. But what he meant was he was worried about Adrian and why he was being so distance

Despite being the librarian here and for other abitrary reasons that can cause assumptions, this handsome bat is actually younger than Adrian. Kijad s older relatives had also adopted him from a young age but instead he took an interest in books than he did cultivation. Although he is not a sect master because he doesn't teach , he does explain phenomenally all the other confusing things that confuscus had outlined in the books.At other times Herim once said maybe he is the one who wrote those books

And since this is his speciality and by default from his hobby, he picked up the art of destroying Yin core creatures aka demon cultivation

Anyway on that day, he made Adrian promise not to go missing without a word and even if he does leave a word, he should still visit or else he would still go out looking for him even if it rains piranhas.

Of course that simple action plus the lie made Adrian happy but then again maybe all he thinks of Adrian is just being a brother to him

Adrian wanted to convince him not to say and do things like that but he decided to keep quiet because he would feel horrible for scolding him. Plus he doesn't need more guilt as he already feels bad for making him feel his abscence, to the point of walking in the rain making such a futile lie to justify his action

" Aow!!", another sting came and brought Adrian back to his sense. The ice pulled him from his pool of thoughts only to realize that Adrian was left standing there and the librarian had already headed to the other shelves

" Ryle , stop it!", he semi barked at him and then proceeded to turn to face him
