Jiang Suizhou looked at Huo Wujiu with some doubts, but Huo Wujiu looked back at him calmly.
Jiang Suizhou seemed to understand what Huo Wujiu wanted to do.
He said, “But you…”
Huo Wujiu stared at him with an air of righteousness: “Do you want to drive me away?”
Jiang Suizhou swallowed the rest of his words.
He pursed his lips, then saw Huo Wujiu raise his hand and look at Meng Qianshan.
Meng Qianshan immediately realized that General Huo didn’t want him to get in the way here.
He quickly restrained his ambiguous smile and led the palace staff waiting around to retreat with him.
In an instant, only two people were left in the room.
Jiang Suizhou observed Huo Wujiu. Huo Wujiu pushed the chess pieces on the chessboard to the side, and rested his elbow on the chessboard. Then, he leaned over towards him.
“Your couch is quite spacious,” Huo Wujiu said, “It’s not like I can’t sleep on it.”
With no other people around, Huo Wujiu acted wantonly. His smile also had a dash of a ruffian’s. He was much like a local tyrant that Jiang Suizhou couldn’t do anything about.
However, Huo Wujiu was actually very apprehensive. He was just a grinning paper tiger.
He wanted to stay here with Jiang Suizhou, and did not hesitate to lower his stance and put on the front of a scoundrel. But even if he appeared domineering, if Jiang Suizhou wanted to drive him out, he couldn’t do anything at all.
Therefore, although he was all smiles, his heart was apprehensively tight.
He knew that Jiang Suizhou was thin-skinned. Huo Wujiu was afraid he’d get annoyed by his forwardness, but having Jiang Suizhou alone to himself was enough. He might as well hug such a person in his arms, since being alone with him was particularly difficult.
Huo Wujiu was an impatient man and couldn’t stand this the most.
He steadily looked at Jiang Suizhou.
Jiang Suizhou stayed silent and also looked at him for a moment.
“Pick up the chess pieces for me.” he said, “There are pieces everywhere, pick them up.”
Huo Wujiu finally got what he wanted.
Although he got it by part recklessness and part coercion, it could be regarded as his hard work. It was nothing but fair and aboveboard.
This pleasant feeling was difficult to express in words. He only remembered that he had never been so happy as when he captured Ye City that day and put the flag of the Huo family on the gate tower of Ye City palace.
The hollow buzz of capturing the world was no match for the solidity and satisfaction he felt at this moment.
The night outside the window was dark, and only a few lights remained lit in the hall. After the bed curtains were let down, darkness settled in. This kind of darkness should have been the most unpleasant, but right now, all was quiet and serene.
Huo Wujiu was absolutely comfortable.
Just then, a smack resounded.
Jiang Suizhou slapped Huo Wujiu’s arm that wrapped around his waist. He warned, “Stop messing around. I have something to deal with tomorrow, and I’m taking medicine again, so I can’t afford you making trouble.”
Huo Wujiu’s fidgety hand immediately became honest.
“I’m not messing around,” he retorted seriously. But before he finished speaking, a chuckle escaped from his lips.
They were both lying in one place, close to each other, and the sound of his laughter was so deep that Jiang Suizhou felt the rumble in his ears. This tingling feeling was quite wonderful, so much so that Jiang Suizhou’s heart trembled along with his skin.
It was a challenge to withstand it.
He quickly spoke, “What are you laughing at? Hurry up and go to sleep.”
Huo Wujiu hugged him closer.
“It’s nothing.” He said, “I was just thinking. Why are you being so nice? 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, he easily clamped Jiang Suizhou’s legs, making him unable to move an inch.
“It’s too late,” Huo Wujiu replied in a low voice.
Jiang Suizhou felt that this man was tremendously naive. He glanced at him and closed his eyes.
The candle flames outside the bed curtains burned quietly.
This night was the first for both of them.
For the first time in such a quiet late night, there was a warm source of heat snuggling next to each other, along with calm breathing that was quietly intertwined.
Although Huo Wujiu managed to remain in Jiang Suizhou’s room, and both Meng Qianshan and Wei Kai would have praised him for his reward after all the hard work, he alone knew that he still couldn’t eat someone despite him being under his eyes.
Jiang Suizhou’s injuries were not fully healed, plus he was busy every day. He always had poor energy, so naturally, he couldn’t stand Huo Wujiu’s pursuit.
Still, Huo Wujiu was overjoyed, so much that his tail could have risen to the heavens.
He used to hate men who turned into wimps after becoming a family man, but now he found that as long as he could see his man every day and hold him in his arms at night, he felt content even with just hugging him and rubbing his back.
He wanted nothing more.
—— On the contrary, Jiang Suizhou was feeling miserable.
Huo Wujiu, this man, was too active!
If it was the original him, perhaps he could still resist him. But his ill and weak physique had not been cured, and his injuries had not yet healed. He was sleepy every night, but Huo Wujiu was beside him, he even wanted to make trouble with him.
Squeezing and caressing his hands and feet weren’t enough, his evil thing that couldn’t be mentioned was still extremely disobedient. It raised its head high for no reason, and forced Jiang Suizhou to solve it for him.
