Jiang Suzhou looked at Huo Wujiu suspiciously, but Huo Wujiu looked at him calmly.
Jiang Suzhou seemed to understand what Huo Wujiu was trying to do.
He said, "But you …"
Huo Wujiu looked at him as if it was only natural. "Are you chasing me out?"
On the contrary, it made Jiang Suizhou unable to say anything else.
Jiang Suzhou pursed his lips. Huo Wujiu raised his hand and looked at Meng Qianshan.
Meng Qianshan immediately understood that General Huo didn't want them to be a hindrance.
Meng Qianshan hurriedly suppressed his ambiguous smile and led the palace servants who were serving him out of the room.
Only the two of them were left in the room.
Jiang Suzhou looked at Huo Wujiu and saw Huo Wujiu push the chess pieces on the chessboard to the side. Then, he put his elbows on the chessboard and leaned toward Jiang Suzhou.
"Your bed is very spacious," Huo Wujiu said. "It's not like I can't sleep."
Now that there was no one else around, Huo Wujiu became even more presumptuous. The smile on his face was tinged with a hint of roguishness. He looked like a local tyrant that Jiang Suzhou couldn't do anything about.
But in reality, Huo Wujiu was very nervous. He was just a paper tiger baring his fangs.
He wanted to stay in Jiang Suzhou, so he didn't hesitate to lower his face like a scoundrel. But even though he was acting like a tyrant, if Jiang Suzhou wanted to chase him out, there was nothing he could do.
Therefore, although he was smiling, his heart was very nervous.
He knew that Jiang Suzhou was thin-skinned and would probably get angry if he provoked him. It was fine when he was alone, but when he held someone in his arms, it was especially difficult to get through the night alone.
Huo Wujiu was an impatient person. He could not tolerate this.
He stared fixedly at Jiang Suizhou.
Jiang Suzhou was silent for a moment, then glanced at him.
"Pack up the chess pieces for me," he said. "It's all over the place. You pick it up."
— —
Huo Wujiu finally got what he wanted.
Even though he had obtained it by force and shamelessness, it was still his hard work. It could be said that he had obtained it fair and square.
This kind of pleasant feeling was hard to describe with words. He only remembered that when he conquered Ye City and planted the Huo Army's flag on the gate of Ye City's imperial palace, he had never been so happy.
The empty liveliness of conquering the world could not be compared to the steadiness and satisfaction at this moment.
Outside the window, the night was dark. Only a few lights were left in the hall. After the bed curtain was put down, it was completely dark. This kind of darkness was supposed to be the most unpleasant, but at this moment, it was completely quiet and peaceful.
Huo Wujiu felt very comfortable.
But at this moment, there was a soft slap.
Jiang Suizhou slapped Huo Wujiu's hand that was carelessly wrapped around his waist and warned, "Don't move. I have things to deal with tomorrow, and I'm taking medicine. I can't afford to have you make a fuss."
Huo Wujiu's hand immediately stopped moving.
"I'm not moving," he said seriously. But before he could finish his sentence, he laughed softly again.
The two of them were lying together. They were so close to each other that Jiang Suizhou's ears trembled. This kind of numbing feeling was quite wonderful. It made Jiang Suizhou's heart and skin tremble slightly.
It was difficult to endure.
He hurriedly said, "What are you laughing about? Go to sleep."
Huo Wujiu hugged him closer.
"It's nothing," he said. "I was just thinking, why are you so obedient? You could have kicked me out just now. "
Jiang Suizhou reminded him, "I can kick you out now too."
Following Huo Wujiu's deep laughter, Jiang Suizhou's legs were easily pressed down by him. He could not move at all.
"Too late," Huo Wujiu laughed softly.
Jiang Suizhou only felt that this person was extremely childish. He glanced at him and closed his eyes.
The candlelight outside the tent burned quietly.
This night was the first time for both of them.
It was the first time in the quiet night that there was a warm source of warmth nestled together. There was a peaceful breathing that quietly intertwined and entangled together.
— —
Although Huo Wujiu had succeeded in staying in Jiang Suizhou's house and had become the Meng Qianshan and Wei Kai, only he knew that he could only see, but not have.
Jiang Suizhou's injuries had not fully healed. He was busy every day and was always lacking in energy. Naturally, he could not withstand Huo Wujiu.
However, Huo Wujiu was already so happy that his tail was about to rise to the sky.
He used to hate men who changed into good-for-nothings after they got married. Now, he realized that as long as he could see that person every day, he could hold him in his arms at night. Even if it was just hugging him and massaging his back, his heart would be satisfied.
He could even do without anything else.
— — But Jiang Suizhou was suffering unspeakably.
Huo Wujiu, this person, had too much energy!
If it was the original him, he might have been able to withstand it. However, his sick and weak body had not yet recovered. The injuries on his body had not yet healed. Every night, he would be drowsy at night. However, Huo Wujiu still wanted to disturb him.
It was not enough for him to carelessly pinch and grope around. That evil thing of his that he could not lift was extremely disobedient. For no reason, it would raise its head high and force Jiang Suizhou to solve it for him.
At first, it was fine to use his hands. However, after a few times, Huo Wujiu did not stop there. He insisted on finding other ways to torment him.
Jiang Suizhou only felt that he had invited a wolf into his house.
However, he could not withstand Huo Wujiu's gaze. The gaze in his eyes was deep and burning. He insisted that Jiang Suizhou help him. He also revealed a pitiful look like a defeated dog. No one could do anything about him.
Jiang Suizhou only knew that he had failed miserably.
As such, they quietly waited for the troops coming from the north. Day by day, June was about to pass.
It was the hottest season in Lin 'an. Jiang Suizhou's spirit was also high. Although his injuries were almost healed, his body was still weak. He could not use ice, so he could only ask Li Changning to add a few medicinal herbs to his daily medicine to clear his heat.
However, Huo Wujiu could not do it.
Jiang Suizhou could not use ice in his room. As a result, he would be hot every night when he came back. His heat was already strong. At this time, it was even more unbearable. Every night, he would toss and turn for half a day before he could fall asleep.
However, he refused to leave.
Jiang Suizhou could not bear to see him forcefully enduring the heat. In addition, Huo Wujiu had been exceptionally busy these days. He left early and returned late. No one knew what he was doing. He could not sleep well at night. This affected his energy even more.
Jiang Suizhou began to persuade him.
However, Huo Wujiu refused to listen. He was annoyed and even wanted to act shamelessly with Jiang Suizhou. For someone like him, even if he was the son of a noble family, he was still a wily old fox who had rolled out of the military camp. When he acted shamelessly, no one could stop him.
Jiang Suizhou could only give up. He secretly suppressed all his worries.
Until this day.
The sky darkened and it was about to reach the third night watch period. The heat during the day had subsided. For people with cold bodies like Jiang Suizhou, it was already an extremely suitable temperature. However, if Huo Wujiu was here, he would definitely be spinning in circles from the heat.
Jiang Suizhou was lying on his bed, flipping through a book. He had already begun to doze off. However, Huo Wujiu had not returned.
Jiang Suizhou yawned and turned another page of the book.
He heard footsteps.
He raised his head and saw an unfamiliar soldier kneeling down on one knee in front of him.
"Your Highness, the general asked me to pass on a message. He said that he has something to do today. Please do not wait," the soldier said.
Jiang Suizhou was stunned. He replied, "Alright. Thank you for making this trip."
The soldier hurriedly bowed and said that he did not dare and left.
Jiang Suizhou sat in the same place. It was only when Meng Qianshan came forward to help him sleep that he awkwardly put away the book in his hands.
— — These days, it was Huo Wujiu who forcefully took away the books in his hands after he returned. It had only been a few days, but it had already become a habit.
Jiang Suizhou could not help but smile as he thought of this. He put away the book and lay down to rest while being served by Meng Qianshan.
The night was always cool. Without Huo Wujiu beside him, he did not have to deal with his entanglement. He thought that he could sleep more peacefully tonight.
However, the night was like water. The candlelight flickered. Jiang Suizhou could not fall asleep.
He lay down. It was empty beside him. It was a little too quiet. He was not used to it, and his sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
This was the first time Jiang Suizhou had suffered from insomnia over the past few days.
He did not know if Huo Wujiu's presence was too strong or if he was too domineering. In just a few days, he had left his mark on all the places around him.
He was like a canine that had taken over his territory.
Jiang Suizhou smiled to himself as he thought of this.
As the night deepened, more and more noises could be heard outside, one after another.
Jiang Suizhou's body was weak after all. He gradually fell asleep in a daze.
However, he was a light sleeper this time. The slightest movement could wake him up. After an unknown amount of time, the curtain beside him rustled. It seemed that someone had carefully lifted the curtain and squeezed into his bed.
Jiang Suizhou opened his eyes and saw Huo Wujiu carefully lying down.
Huo Wujiu immediately turned his head vigilantly when he heard his movements. He saw Jiang Suizhou looking at him with sleepy eyes.
That half-asleep and half-awake expression was the most charming and gentle.
Huo Wujiu could not help but bend down and kiss Jiang Suizhou on the corner of his eye. Then, as if it was not enough, he tilted his head and kissed Jiang Suizhou on the lips.
There was no end to it.
When Jiang Suizhou pushed him away, his pajamas were a little loose. Huo Wujiu held him in his arms.
Jiang Suizhou tilted his head and looked at the sky outside. It was already a little white.
"It's going to be dawn soon?" Jiang Suizhou asked.
Huo Wujiu was not done kissing him. Like a wolf smelling blood, he sniffed Jiang Suizhou's neck again.
Jiang Suizhou pushed him twice, but he could not push him away at all.
"Then why don't you rest first? Why are you rushing back?" Jiang Suizhou asked.
Huo Wujiu said in a muffled voice, "No, I can't sleep outside."
The corners of Jiang Suizhou's mouth twitched. It was as if he was about to unconsciously curl up.
"Then hurry up and sleep," he said. "What are you busy with that you have to work until the latter half of the night?"
Huo Wujiu obediently turned over on the bed and wrapped Jiang Suizhou tightly in his arms.
"It's a secret," he said.
Jiang Suizhou smiled when he heard this. He did not probe further and closed his eyes.
What secret could Huo Wujiu have? Although the two of them had not known each other for long, he trusted Huo Wujiu completely.
Although he did not know where this confidence came from.
He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep. However, Huo Wujiu beside him was not obedient.
He lay there quietly for a while. Then, as if he had let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly turned over and sat up.
Jiang Suizhou quickly opened his eyes. "What's wrong?"
He saw Huo Wujiu with his back to him as he put on his boots. He gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Don't you want to know what it is?" he asked.
Jiang Suizhou was a little confused. "Didn't you say it was a secret?"
Huo Wujiu put on his boots carelessly and stood up. He turned around and spoke angrily.
"If it's a secret, you won't ask?" he said.
