Chapter 3

When Mu Qing woke up the next morning, he felt strangely light. Slightly dazed, he pushed closer to the heat source. Sleepily he pressed his face a little against the heat source. At that moment, Mu Qing wondered if he had ever felt this well. But then he realized what was wrong here. He inhaled a familiar scent, which made his eyes widen in surprise. He was in Feng Xin's arms, who had pulled him closer to him. Mu Qing carefully looked up at Feng Xin's sleeping face. Mu Qing felt his cheeks turn red. Surprised, he looked around briefly, realized that they were still in Wonderland. On the one hand, Mu Qing wanted to jump up and throw Feng Xin off the bed, on the other hand he just wanted to lie down. 

Mu Qing decided to close his eyes again. He slowly pressed himself back to Feng Xin and wanted to go back to sleep. Before he could just go back to sleep, he felt something moving next to him. Feng Xin moved next to Mu Qing. He hugged Mu Qing closer and buried his face in Mu Qing's hair. He exhaled heavily, mumbling something that made Mu Qing wake up again. It annoyed Mu Qing so much that Mu Qing straightened up, grabbed a pillow and slapped Feng Xin in the face. 

,,Keep your mouth shut! You are so annoying in the morning!", Mu Qing complained. 

Feng Xin woke up from the blow. Annoyed, he took the pillow from his face and hit Mu Qing in the face with it.

,,What's that supposed to mean?", Feng Xin grumbled annoyed tired at the same time, so he turned his back on him sleepily. 

,,Stop mumbling something! I want to go back to sleep!", Mu Qing hissed annoyed. 

Feng Xin grumbled annoyed before he grabbed Mu Qing's arm and pulled it over him and snuggled back to Mu Qing, who just rolled his eyes annoyed. but didn't feel like moving. He was still much too tired. Neither of them said anything, they just lay there. The next time Mu Qing woke up he was alone in bed. The side on which Feng Xin was lying was still warm which showed him that he had only recently got up. Mu Qing rolled over on Feng Xin's side and closed his eyes again. Shortly afterwards, Mu Qing felt a warm hand on his head. 

,,Get up, it's breakfast", said someone to him, which made him slowly open his eyes again. 

Feng Xin looked at him with a gentle smile. Mu Qing stared at him for a while before closing his eyes again. He really was in Wonderland. Feng Xin would never be able to smile so warmly at him in real life. Nor would he be able to. Why should he? The person that Feng Xin hate the most is Mu Qing. Of course. The only reason that Feng Xin smile at him is, that he isn't Feng Xin. Just a character in the Wonderland. Mu Qing open his eyes again. Feng Xin looked at him questioningly when Mu Qing briefly took his Feng Xin hand. His hand was so much larger than Mu Qing's. Feng Xin looked at him in amazement. 

,,What do you have?", Asked Feng Xin in astonishment. 

,,Nothing special. Just thought that this is truly Wonderland", Mu Qing got up and grabbed his blue dress. 

The dress he was wearing when he got here. Feng Xin turned around respectfully. He heard the clothes rustle and only turned around when he hadn't heard anything for a while. He saw Mu Qing tie his ink-black hair in a high braid. He took the blue headband and just wanted to tie them together when Feng Xin came to stand behind him. 

,,Wait a minute", he said to Mu Qing, who froze for a moment, said nothing but Feng Xin touched his hair. 

He tied the blue ribbon back into a bow. 

,,You probably like to see me with a bow", said Mu Qing rolled his eyes in disgust. 

,,I think you are so beautiful", said Feng Xin with a smile, while he took a strand of hair in his hand and pressed a kiss on it, which froze Mu Qing's heart. 

Mu Qing turned bright red and quickly hit his hair in the face. Mu Qing looked at him in surprise. Actually, he didn't expect Feng Xin to ever call him beautiful. He looked briefly in the mirror and then noticed that he was missing an earring. Startled, he then touched his ear. 

,,My earring is missing", said Mu Qing when panic rose inside him. 

He quickly looked around for the missing earring. Where could he have lost it? He quickly ran around the room, desperately looking for the earring. Feng Xin watched in confusion as Mu Qing ran through the room like a fury. 

,,Is the earring that important?" 

,,I just hate to lose things", he replied when he suddenly disappeared under the bed. 

This sentence felt to Feng Xin as if he was not only referring to objects. As if this sentence had another hidden meaning Feng Xin frowned and then went to Mu Qing. He looked under the bed for the lost earring. Feng Xin also looked around the room and helped something to look for. However, he did not find it either. He gave up and looked at Mu Qing. Without further ado, Feng Xin pulled Mu Qing out and then sat him on the bed. 

,,It doesn't matter if you only have one earring. It still looks good", said Feng Xin honestly. 

But Mu Qing didn't look too convinced. This silently touched his ear and looked at the ground at his feet. He reached for his ear where the earring was missing. Feng Xin leaned down and carefully brushed a few strands off his face. Then he looked at Mu Qing's beautiful face. Feng Xin said nothing at all. He just kept silent and allowed these touches. Feng Xin leaned back briefly, grabbed his gold earring in his hand, who then pinned it on to Mu Qing. Mu Qing looked at him in surprise. 

,,My earring looks really good on you, too", Feng Xin then grinned. 

Mu Qing glanced briefly in the mirror. 

,,That looks strange. Crazy and inappropriate", complained Mu Qing. 

,,This is wonderland. What do you expect?", Feng Xin asked with a laugh. 

The laugh warmed Mu Qing's cold heart, which he had frozen for so long. Silently he looked at the floor as Feng Xin Mu Qing lovingly stroked the long black hair. Silently, Mu Qing accepted it That Feng Xin was so close to him for the first time. 

,,You are beautiful", Feng Xin then told him. 

That left Mu Qing speechless. Without knowing how to respond, he just felt his cheeks burn, which is why he jumped up quickly.Mu Qing fled quickly the room while his cheeks burned. Feng Xin just followed in amusement. Mu Qing quickly went into the kitchen when, to his surprise, he jerked backwards. A small train passed in front of his feet, and the groceries could be found on the wagon. Confused, he then cautiously ran to the table. Feng Xin followed closely behind him. Confused, Mu Qing sat down on a chair when suddenly the locomotive stopped in front of his nose. Feng Xin took the teapot from the car and poured himself some tea. 

,,Do you want to?", He asked Mu Qing. 

He just nodded. It was still astonishing. There were pancakes with maple syrub. Mu Qing silently poked the pancake with his fork. Mu Qing had never tried this and is therefore a little cautious. Feng Xin, who had no problems, watched him before he simply cut a piece of Mu Qing's pancake and held it in front of his nose. 

,,It tastes good. Just try", Mu Qing was silent again, before he hesitantly opened his mouth and let himself be fed. 

His pale cheeks were slightly flushed. Feng Xin couldn't suppress a smile when Mu Qing's eyes got shiny.

,,That tastes good", he stated. 

,,I'll tell you", then smiled Feng Xin. 

Mu Qing didn't know what to say. His feelings, which he had suppressed and hidden, came out. Like a liquid that grew more and more behind the small, dark door that he had locked well He wanted to hold it down and prevent it, but Feng Xin tore down the iron wall again and again until nothing was left. Breakfast then went without any further problems. 

,,So you will lead me out of this wonderland?", Mu Qing then asked after breakfast. 

He only got a nod from Feng Xin. Feng Xin was already walking to the door, then turned briefly to Mu Qing. 

,,Are you coming?", He asked. 

Mu Qing hurried after him quickly. They left Feng Xin's house. Mu Qing briefly looked up at the sky. The sun was shining as always, he warmed Mu Qing with the warm rays . Feng Xin are still waiting for Mu Qing. 

,,Are you coming?", He asked again. 

,,I'm coming!", Mu Qing hurried quickly next to Feng Xin. 

They walked through a forest together. Neither said anything. During the time they were crossing the forest, Mu Qing felt somehow happy. Maybe it was really because he had longed for Feng Xin all these years and here in Wonderland he got the side of Feng Xin that he had wanted all these years. That he also looked at him tenderly. Mu Qing gave the feeling that he might have a place after all. Feng Xin looked at Mu Qing as if he had heard Mu Qing's thoughts. 

,,What's wrong? You seem to have disappeared in your thoughts", began Feng Xin. 

Mu Qing only shook his head.

,,I'm fine", Mu Qing replied curtly. 

Feng Xin seemed to be thinking before carefully taking Mu Qing's hand in his. That surprised him, which immediately made him blush. 

,,W-What's that supposed to mean?", Mu Qing asked red, when he tried to pull his hand away, but Feng Xin held him tight. 

,,The forest will become thicker and you could get lost", said Feng Xin and pulled Mu Qing closer to him. 

This then bumped against Feng Xin's chest and felt his heart leap out of his body at any moment. Their eyes met. Mu Qing felt Feng Xin's breath as his cheeks turned dark red. 

,,You are beautiful", he breathed softly towards Mu Qing before pulling away from him. 

Mu Qing was completely confused and wanted to say something, but Feng Xin didn't even give him the opportunity to say anything when he was already behind Mu Qing If it goes on like this, Feng Xin will finish him off in this world before he can even return to his. He can't just let go of that! Mu Qing tried to calm himself down and all the feelings that come up again This time he forced himself to drown all the feelings that came up again. Because he knew that if he let it go any further, he would end up being hurt again. He knew that. Mu Qing bit himself open his lip and tried to pull himself together, but Feng Xin didn't give him a chance. He continued to pull Mu Qing behind him while holding his hand tighter, as if he would never let go of Mu Qing again, as if making up his mind forever his hand to hold, to want to have with you forever now. 

Mu Qing quickly shook his head and dismissed the thought. Forget it! Nonsense! Mu Qing tried quickly to dismiss the thought, but it could just be dismissed as much as he wished. Mu Qing noticed that the forest was actually getting thicker, which is why he got a little faster and moved closer to Feng Xin, who smiled at him briefly, stroking his thumbs gently over the back of Mu Qing's hand to calm him down. Mu Qing was silent for a while and just followed him. Nobody said anything. Instead, Mu Qing really calmed down a bit. 

When they entered the garden of the Queen of Hearts, Mu Qing squeezed his hand tighter. Feng Xin lovingly pulled him behind, they ran away through the wide one, while many rose bushes could be seen in the meadow. However, Mu Qing still knew this scene, if he remembers correctly, white rose bushes should soon be seen because the people here had planted the wrong roses. To Mu Qing's surprise, he soon saw the said card figures. To his amazement, Nan Feng, Fu Yao saw them paint these roses. Somehow, Mu Qing didn't know what to make of it. 

,,It's your fault that you planted the wrong roses!", Fu Yao complained and painted a white rose red. 

,,Why is it my fault now ?! You finally gave me the seeds!" 

They started arguing while they continued to paint the roses red. Feng Xin also frowned briefly at them. Their clothes were also simple suits, but they reminded you very much of cards. Mu Qing was about to open his mouth when trumpeting could be heard from afar. Shortly afterwards the Queen of Hearts appeared. Or rather it should. Instead, Hua Cheng came to meet them. Hua Cheng was the king of hearts. His elegant red robe was decorated with many patterns. As the title suggests, he wore many heart patterns on his clothes. He really looked like a king. Mu Qing just hated that he looked like a servant because of the dress. Feng Xin pulled Mu Qing behind him and stood a bit to protect himself from him. 

,,Who do we have there?", Hua Cheng asked in the same derogatory tone that Mu Qing hated so much. 

He pulled himself together. 

,,I'm Alice. I'm looking for the exit to return to my world", explained Mu Qing then. 

Hua Cheng touched his chin thoughtfully. 

,,You are looking for a way to return to your world."

Feng Xin pushed Mu Qing a little behind him. He want to say something, but Hua Cheng have already an idea. 

,,When you want to go back to your world, let play a little game first."

Feng Xin doesn't looks like that he want Mu Qing play this game. But Mu Qing also know that he haven't a choice. This was part of this story from Alice in Wonderland.

,,When you win, I give you the key to open the door to the human world. But when you lose", Hua cheng waved his hand down his neck. As if he wanted to cut his neck with his index finger. 

,,Head off."

Two words that sent a shiver down the spine of Mu Qing. Feng Xin wanted to protest, but Mu Qing stopped him. 

,,Ok. We'll play your game." 

,,Perfect. Then we play croquet", said Hua Cheng amused. 

Mu Qing and Feng Xin then just followed him. Feng Xin held Mu Qing's hand in his. They came to the part of the garden where they were supposed to play croquet. As in the original, there was a hedgehog the ball. Flamingo the bat. Nan Feng Fu Yao brought the bat and quickly ran to the side again to avoid making another mistake. Feng Xin also just watched. It was just a game between him and the King of Hearts Hua Cheng. The game was Nothing special. Hua Cheng made one or the other comment that really made Mu Qing almost throw the bat against his head. Contrary to his expectations, Mu Qing was very good at it. "Didn't think you were good," said Hua Cheng. Mu Qing just rolled his eyes. Feng Xin himself was not very interested in the game, he kept an eye on Hua Cheng and Mu Qing that nothing will happen. 

,,We're still tied. I want to see who makes the decisive blow." 

Mu Qing swallowed briefly before he took the Flammingo in his hand again and then hit it. Unfortunately, the hedgehog missed its required target, which is why it lost to Hua Cheng. Before Hua Cheng anything at all Feng Xin came rushing, grabbed Mu Qing's wrist and dragged him with lightning speed. Frightened, Mu Qing was dragged quickly afterwards. "Run!" shouted Feng Xin. Hua Cheng smiled in amusement. "Grab them!" He ordered immediately. Feng Xin stormed away incredibly quickly while Mu Qing is almost dragged behind him. He just came after Feng Xin. Feng Xin skilfully pulled him between the hedges. They came into a maze. Feng Xin pulled him in without hesitation. Mu Qing didn't even have the time to comment. They raced through the maze. The servants of the King of Hearts lost both of them very quickly. Feng Xin pulled him further behind without problems as if he knew his way around here very well. 

,,Why do you know your way around here so well?", asked Mu Qing, confused. 

,,I'm the mad hatter." Feng Xin replied, amused instead. 

Mu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or just comment in disgust. But instead he was silent. Feng Xin turned sharply and pulled Mu Qing into a bush and hid with him. Mu Qing landed on Feng Xin's chest. 

,,Shhh", Feng Xin said softly. Mu Qing immediately freezes. 

He didn't even dare breathe. He held his breath as he pressed his bright red face into Feng Xin's chest while he was very close. He could even feel his breath in his ear. They heard quick steps running past the bush. Mu Qing's heart was beating incredibly quickly. He could hardly get a proper thought. Did Feng Xin just save him? Did Feng Xin really run away with him from the King of Hearts? He couldn't believe any of this. It was like dreaming. Mu Qing narrowed his eyes when he widened his eyes in shock when Feng Xin moved his knee a little. 

,,What are you doing there?", Mu Qing hissed softly in his ear. 

But Feng Xin was silent. They were in a position that Mu Qing didn't like at all. Feng Xin kneeled between his legs while he was lying on Feng Xin, that Face pressed into his chest. His hands clenched to his shoulders. He felt the warm breath of him against his ear. That drives him crazy. When the guards' footsteps became quieter, Mu Qing dared to look up slowly Feng Xin. He immediately regretted it. Feng Xin looked at him in amusement as his brown hair fell into his face. His golden eyes glowed and melted Mu Qing's cold heart. This man really wasn't fair to Mu Qing. No, he was still never been fair to him. 

,,You are red. Are you all right?", Feng Xin asked, a little worried, while Mu Qing almost melted away. 

If he doesn't return to his world soon, this man will finish him off before Hua Cheng! Mu Qing really didn't know if he should worry more because Hua Cheng wanted to kill him or if Feng Xin was a bigger problem. But for a long time he couldn't ask himself the question as both of them carefully straightened up. Mu Qing caught sight of Feng Xin's hand. He noticed that Feng Xin was injured. Startled, he grabbed Feng Xin's hand and looked at the blood. He was about to ask in a panic, but Feng Xin stopped him. 

,,Just a small wound. Don't worry", Feng Xin smiled and withdrew his hand. 

But Mu Qing didn't like this answer at all. Mu Qing silently pulled his hairband from his head and put it on Feng Xin's injured spot. This time Feng Xin didn't comment. Mu Qing did it hurt to see Feng Xin hurt because of him. 

,,It's really nothing, don't worry", Feng Xin promised him. 

Which didn't really comfort Mu Qing. Instead, he felt even worse. 

,,Why are you helping me?", Asked Mu Qing hoarsely. 

,,Because you are my Alice in this Wonderland." 

Mu Qing froze. Its Alice in this Wonderland? That sounds like a bad turn-on line. But he couldn't help blushing. When Mu Qing finished bandaging his injured hand, he hardly dared look into Feng Xin's eyes. Feng Xin smiled in thanks before both of them carefully left their hiding place. Feng Xin looked around briefly before quickly grabbing Mu Qing's wrist and pulling him back behind him. They had to hurry, if they don't get out of here fast enough, Hua Cheng will kill Mu Qing. 

,,Aren't you afraid that you will be killed too?", Asked Mu Qing in panic. 

,,Don't worry about me! I have my way of escaping his commands. He won't behead me for that!", Feng Xin grinned and ran on. Mu Qing said nothing more. 

They made it out of the crazy maze. Feng Xin really knew his way around here. But he didn't know the feeling of how Mu Qing is dragged along by him. Feng Xin had never tried to make Mu Qing feel safe. After all, Feng Xin never had eyes for him. But only for a woman who Mu Qing will never come close to. His heart hurt. But he didn't force himself to be distracted. 

,,I'll take you to the exit quickly!", Explained Feng Xin and ran on. 

,,But we won't get through if we don't have the key of the King of Hearts!", Mu Qing then shouted. 

,,Ah damn it."

There was something there. Feng Xin hissed, visibly annoyed. He had completely forgotten that the key is at Hua Cheng. So you really have to take the key from Hua Cheng. But Feng Xin just couldn't get the key if he didn't bring Mu Qing to safety first. Mu Qing didn't know his way around here enough to be safe! They somehow made it past the guards. Feng xin was really good at dodging them. Mu Qing then accepted the fact that too he is helpless. This world was really not made for him. First the mad hatter Feng Xin and then the king of hearts Hua Cheng! Now all he had to do was meet the rabbit Xie Lian again and then he would have enough for today.

 ,, Listen . I'll let go of your hand now. Just keep running, I'll make sure the guards didn't follow us this far! ", Feng Xin suddenly said as they ran along behind the castle wall. 

,,Don't worry, do you see the trees over there? Hide behind one of the trees! I'll take care of all of that! ", Said Feng Xin quickly. 

Yes, that's Feng Xin. A loyal man. So loyal that he even returned to the man, swallowing all his pride to help them. He returned to Xie Lian, choking down all his pride. Admitted all his mistakes and ran after him without blinking. While Mu Qing backed away more and more. He also wanted to return to the woman he had loved one. He was even ready to recognize Cuo Cuo. Any normal person would have turned away in disgust. Not Feng Xin. He was just like that. A loyal man who promised to be there. He kept to everyone he promised. 

Only Mu Qing never had a chance to hear these words. Feng Xin never promised to be with him forever. He felt the stitches again. No! He really couldn't afford to think about it right now! Feng Xin looked briefly at Mu Qing before Mu Qing nodded. He ran off. Feng Xin stopped and took care of the guards, leaving Mu Qing out of the way. After all, the worst that can happen right now is that he was a burden to Feng Xin. He really couldn't afford that at the moment. But at the same time it hurt terribly in his chest.

Mu Qing believed him immediately. He didn't care whether Feng Xin was lying to him or wanted to run away. He trusted Feng Xin. Because he never knew Feng Xin like that would do. Mu Qing looked up in surprise when he was ripped out of his thoughts by a sudden "Bam". Mu Qing looked surprised at Xie Lian, who also looked at her surprised. They looked at each other in surprise. During the race, Mu Qing did not look to see if anyone was there that he slammed Xie Lian so hard that they both landed on their buttocks. ,,Ah! You are! ", Xie Lian began and pointed his finger at Mu Qing." You are Alice! ", He then exclaimed excitedly. Mu Qing was far too surprised to answer directly. He forgot all the fear and at the same time forgot that he was fleeing from Hua Cheng.

,,I'm sorry! I didn't see you! ", Xie Lian apologized and got up. 

He quickly bowed apologetically.

,,No, no! Everything's fine! I'm sorry, I didn't notice you", Mu Qing apologized immediately. 

But Xin Lian did it anyway. Actually, they didn't expect to see each other again so soon. Or that she would even see each other. At that moment, Feng Xin reappeared. 

,,We have to get out of here quickly! The guards are not far! ", Feng Xin came running, now he noticed Xie Lian and froze.

,,W-What !? What are you doing here ?! ", Feng Xin shouted in surprise. 

But Xie Lian seemed confused that they wanted to run away. 

,,What happened?", Xie Lian asked in astonishment. 

,,The King of Hearts wants to cut my head off", replied Mu Qing. 

Xie Lian's eyes grew huge. 

,,You were convicted?" 

,,I lost in a game against him, he said if I win I will get the key to open the gate that leads into my world", said Mu Qing, frustrated. 

Xie Lian rubbed the bridge of his nose. 

,,I understand, I understand", said Xie Lian, nodding. 

Feng Xin opened his mouth to say something when Xie Lian took out his watch to check something. Suddenly he panicked again. In a panic like Mu Qing had met and seen him the first time, what happened that made him panic again?

,,Oh no! Oh no!", Xie Lian suddenly began. 

,,I'm late! Again!", Xie Lian shouted in panic. 

,,Why are you late?", Feng Xin then asked. 

,,I wanted to meet the King of Hearts! I complete forgot it! I'll be late again! Oh no! Oh No!!" 

Before Xie Lian could run away again this time, Mu Qing stopped him briefly. 

,,Wait a minute!", Mu Qing quickly took the fan out of his dress. 

,,You lost that!", Mu Qing said and held it to Xie Lian. 

He looked at the fan in amazement when his eyes lit up. 

,,Thank you!", He shouted happily and gratefully shook hands with Mu Qing. 

Mu Qing was surprised. But then Xie Lian realized. 

Xie Lian wanted to run again briefly when he remembered something. He turned to Mu Qing. 

,,Are the guards still after you right?" 

,,Of course. I don't think they'll disappear now after you run past us. As if they were listening to you", Mu Qing rolled his eyes. 

Feng Xin bumped Mu Qing's ribs with his elbows, which only gave him an annoyed look. The nasty remark was already on his tongue, but he managed not to say anything. Xie Lian, however, hardly minded. Instead he just smiled.

,,Shall I help you?" 

,,Aren't you pressed for time?", Asked Mu Qing, confused and surprise in the same time. 

Xie Lian then shook his head. 

,,This subject is incredibly important to me. I'm incredibly glad you found it again, which is why I want to return you a favor and anyway, I don't like it when a good person get his head up", said Xie Lian and was incredibly happy. 

Mu Qing doesn't know should he laugh or roll with his eyes. Xie Lian is really a kind person with a golden heart. Feng Xin looks like he thought the same. Mu Qing didn't know what to think of it, but he also feels good. The way Xie Lian behaved The way he laughed happily made Mu Qing smile slightly. Xie Lian could smile in the world too. Feng Xin was silent. Xie Lian was about to say something when Hua Cheng suddenly appeared. 

,,What's going on here?", he asked, now less amused. 

This time, Mu Qing remembered that Hua Cheng wanted to eat both of them alive. Mu Qing grabbed Feng Xin's hand from Reflex, who pulled him closer to him. However, Xie Lian became happy. 

,,Husband!", He shouted and ran to Hua Cheng. 

Wait wait! Has he just called the King of Hearts as his husband ?! Even here in this world are you married ?! Oh gods at least leave him alone in this world. He doesn't want to see the two of them making out again while he stands by and just thinks: I should have stayed at home! Mu Qing really want jump out of the window. When love is a person, than this person must really hate him! 

,,I'm sorry I'm so late again!", Xie Lian apologized, which immediately softened Hua Cheng. 

He looked at Xie Lian incredibly lovingly. Mu Qing might throw up. Feng Xin seemed to have the same thoughts. He didn't look much better either. As if both Xie Lian and Hua Cheng were about to kick away with a divine kick. Mu Qing turned around so that he didn't have to look at them while Feng Xin just shook his head. Neither of the two seemed to want to see that. Feng Xin turned away a little while Mu Qing just sighed. They were silent while Xie Lian and Hua Cheng chatted together. I feel superfluous, thought Mu Qing. Only now did Mu Qing notice that Feng Xin was still holding his hand.  Mu Qing was about to say something when Xie Lian turned to them. He smiled lovingly, but looked incredibly friendly and familiar. 

,,So you want to go back to your world?", Xie Lian wanted confirmation, which made Mu Qing nod. 

With a smile, Xie Lian turned to Hua Cheng, who briefly glared at Mu Qing before waving his hand in disapproval . Mu Qing wanted to bang his shoe on his forehead, but he also knew that Hua Cheng can still kill him at any time. That bastard! Why did he do so much everywhere ?! Feng Xin stood silently and crossed his arms over his chest in annoyance. 

,,I would like to ask you something", Xie Lian began gently. 

Hua Cheng naturally listened to Xie Lian. The guards who came now stopped Hua Cheng with a hand movement, who then withdrew in silence. 

,,Me I want you to let them both live and Alice to return to the real world!", Xie Lian said with a smile. 

Hua Cheng smiled at him with love and gentleness. 

,,If Gege wishes that, then of course I will grant you the wish", Hua Cheng dismissed the guards and turned back to Xie Lian. 

He smiled lovingly at him before opening his mouth again. 

,,Small request, try please stop chopping off someone's head all the time. You know it's not okay", Xie Lian complained. 

Mu Qing tried not to throw up right in front of their feet. Feng Xin looked no better. It also looked like Feng Xin would rather be elsewhere than stand here and watch them both flirt. Neither of them said anything.

,,As far as I am concerned, you can enter my garden and look for the exit from this world", he pointed to Feng Xin. 

,,You know where the exit is right?", Asked Hua Cheng. 

Feng Xin thought for a moment before he nodded. 

,,If I remember correctly, I still know where it is", Feng Xin confirmed. 

Hua Cheng reached into his pocket. He took out a key. With an amused smile, he tossed it to Feng Xin, who caught it with one hand without taking his eyes off Hua Cheng. The key was really pretty. A beautiful golden key that was adorned with diamonds. That key alone is more precious than the Hua Cheng lock itself! They key was small, but beautifuler then everything he saw in his life. Feng Xin was surprised that he really got the key just like that. Actually he also thought that Hua Cheng would think of something. But it didn't seem so. Xie Lian smiled encouragingly at her.

Mu Qing wanted to say "thank you" when he was suddenly pulled behind by Feng Xin. Hua Cheng looked at both of them disparagingly as he lovingly pulled Xie Lian to him. Mu Qing didn't reply, then only allowed himself to be dragged behind him. He couldn't really ask Feng Xin what was going on when he pulled him between the trees. Well hidden from prying eyes. Mu Qing looked at him questioningly when Feng Xin led him to a hedge. It was a high hedge wall while a small door adorned that wall. Mu Qing looked at the door in amazement. It was a beautiful door that matched the wonderland. Feng Xin held Mu Qing's hand tighter and hesitantly looked at him. Feng Xin opened his mouth to say something, but Mu Qing sensed whatever Feng Xin wanted to say, that would keep Mu Qing here. 

Mu Qing had long since realized that this Feng Xin treated him very differently. Mu Qing didn't want to admit to himself at first and not to let go of the feelings, but he knew long ago that he had caught feelings. Feelings that he only felt for him. For Feng Xin alone. Mu Qing let go of Feng Xin's hand, who was silent for a moment before gently stroking Mu Qing's hair. Nobody said anything, maybe it was better if neither of them would say anything. Mu Qing broke away from Feng Xin's arms. 

,,Thank you for everything", said Mu Qing slowly, before he turned to the door and put his hand on the knob. 

,,Do you really want to go?", Feng Xin then asked. 

Mu Qing hesitated to answer. 

,,Yes, I want to go back. Not because I don't like it here, but because I want to see an idiot wearing your face again", without noticing, Mu Qing smiled as he thought of Feng Xin. 

Followed by a pain in his chest because he didn't know Feng Xin him Feng Xin went to him, took his hand briefly in his. 

,,For him?"

Mu Qing smiled. 

,,Yes, for him." 

Feng Xin was silent for a moment when Mu Qing grabbed his hand. He looked down at the hair band that was wrapped around Feng Xin's wrist and then smiled briefly. Mu Qing looked at the blue ribbon on his wrist. It was a wonder to him how well their hands fit together. Feng Xin's hand was warm. Really very warm. It left a bitter taste. His heart hurt. His fingers stroke the blue fabric. Feng Xin smiled gently at him.

,,See it as a memory and a gift", smiled Mu Qing and then let go of his hand. 

Reluctantly, Feng Xin Mu Qing then gave the key.

,,So you're really leaving?" 

This question came from Feng Xin. Mu Qing took a deep breath before turning to Feng Xin with a smile. 

,,Yes. After all, someone is still holding me in the other world", Mu Qing saw on the ground. 

They had a sad glimpse of what briefly broke Feng Xin's heart. 

,,In this world I am your Alice in this Wonderland. But once in my world, I'm just a normal person to him. But I still want to go back to him", said Mu Qing, laughing bitterly.

,,Crazy, isn't it? To love a man who would never turn around. "

Feng Xin said nothing more, he just looked at the blue hairband for a while when he saw Mu Qing open the door. Mu Qing didn't see back when he walked through the door. A bright light blinded him. Everything around him began to slowly disappear. Only then did Mu Qing dare to look back for a moment when he saw Feng Xin smile at him, wave his hand where the blue ribbon was tied around his wrist. But this smile was different. Like someone who know to see this person again. But Mu Qing haven't the time to think about it. He only must go back. 

,,See you again, Mu Qing." 

His eyes got bigger. 

Did he just call him Mu Qing ?! He wanted to turn around and ask Feng Xin the question, but the white light had already engulfed him. It was too late to run back for answers. It was too late to be able to ask what all this meant. It's just too late.

,,....ng?"

,,..M...qin....!"

Who are calling for him?

,,Mu Qing? Mu Qing! Hey Mu Qing wake up!" 

Someone called after him. Mu Qing opened his eyes tiredly when he saw Feng Xin's familiar face. He was bent over him.

,,Are you finally awake? " He asked. 

Mu Qing looked around a little dazedly. He noticed that he was still lying on the floor of Hua Cheng's library. Hua Cheng and Xie Lian were too busy with each other. They weren't even interested in what Mu Qing and Feng Xin were doing. The fact that Feng Xin had just shouted like a madman to Mu Qing didn't interest them either. As if they were living completely in their own dream world.

,,How long did I sleep?" Asked Mu Qing. 

,,Almost two hours", replied Feng Xin. 

Mu Qing slowly straightened up when he noticed that Feng Xin was sitting much closer to him than usual. Before Mu Qing could move away, Feng Xin took Mu Qing's hand. 

,,What ---" before Mu Qing could finish his sentence, he noticed something on Feng Xin's wrist. A blue headband.

,,Welcome back, my Alice."
