ADWMCES Chapter34

Chu Fengqing: “……”

Meeting his eyes, Chu Fengqing opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing how to explain. He wants to say no, but he really is…

The main purpose is to use the natural heater.

Ji Yujin sat up, his long hair spreading over his shoulders as he moved. The cinnabar mole at the end of his eye was particularly conspicuous. His red lips were slightly curled, and under the candlelight, he looked extremely charming. He smiled and said, “What? Are you secretly craving my body?”

Chu Fengqing’s hands tightened, and the pillow deformed slightly.

Ji Yujin caught a glimpse of his movements, and his smile widened. He said lazily, “It is really my fault as a husband that my wife has to endure this hardship.”

The veins on the back of Chu Fengqing’s hands bulged slightly. He looked at him expressionlessly, then turned around and was about to leave.

The next moment, his world was spinning, and he was lying in Ji Yujin’s arms, with his wrists tightly held by his hands.

Ji Yujin: “You’ve already done it, and you still want to run away?”

Chu Fengqing: “What did I do?”

As long as there is someone else in this room, he will be misunderstood as a heartless man or the kind who will run away without taking his pants off.

Ji Yujin: “Don’t you know what you did?”

Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, not wanting to argue with this scoundrel anymore. As soon as he moved, the warm quilt covered him completely, and a faint scent of agarwood surrounded his nose.

The two of them lay down somehow. Chu Fengqing blinked while resting his head on Ji Yujin’s pillow, and there was a hand on his waist.

Ji Yujin: “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore, go to sleep.”

Chu Fengqing leaned against Ji Yujin, as if his whole body were nestled in Ji Yujin’s arms, and the warmth continued to permeate from him.

Ji Yujin touched Chu Fengqing’s hand and frowned. “Why are your hands so cold? Have you been standing outside for a long time?”

He nudged his foot against the other’s, clicked his tongue, and remarked, “It’s like I fished you out of the snow.”

As he spoke, he wrapped him tighter with the quilt, covering his hands and feet. Chu Fengqing was slightly stunned, and his cold body greedily absorbed the warmth, and soon even his feet were infected with warmth.

Ji Yujin’s hands were a little rough, with a thin layer of calluses on his palms. It was obvious that he was a martial artist. Although they were both men, his palms were much bigger than his.

He clenched his fingers into his palm, making Ji Yujin stop in his tracks, and a voice echoed in his ears. “A kitten scratching its claws.”

“Stop moving, sleep.”

The next moment, he covered his eyes with his hands without saying a word. Chu Fengqing’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes. In his ears, he caught the sound of a strong heartbeat. Outside the tent, snow and ice filled the air, flakes drifting down. In the stillness of the night, the sound stood out with striking clarity.

In fact, he was not used to being touched by others. When he was a child, he was even unable to accept being touched through clothes. His normal life was affected. It was only when he grew older that his condition improved slightly.

But they still couldn’t be too intimate, just like on their wedding night, Ji Yujin’s touch overwhelmed him, but he endured it for the sake of preserving his life.

But… why is it so natural now that he even came here himself?

Chu Fengqing didn’t understand. Was it because they were familiar with each other or because of something else…

Forget it. If he can’t figure it out, then just stop thinking about it. This relationship won’t last forever after all.

His consciousness gradually faded away, and the last thing he thought of was, if Ji Yujin found out that he was a man, would he kill him?

Whether he could spare his sister and mother by then or not, he had a feeling that this matter could not be concealed for much longer.

He would have to send a letter back tomorrow and ask his mother and the other two to go to the place he had arranged. That place was secluded, and he was eighty percent sure that they would not be found even by the Xichang.

The breathing sounds beside him gradually became even and steady, but Ji Yujin couldn’t sleep. He didn’t dare to move too much for fear of waking someone up.

Ji Yujin scratched the back of that person’s hand with his fingers. Seeing that that person didn’t move at all, he made a “tsk” sound, frowned, and softly said, “Not only do I have to serve you as a heater, but I can’t even make a move on you either. This lord has never been so cowardly in my life.”

He murmured, “You little sickly seedling, you better have some conscience and not lie to me for too long.”

As the night grew deeper, the two of them lay on the small couch.

The next morning.

When Chu Fengqing woke up this time, Ji Yujin was still by his side. His body stiffened, and he turned over without knowing when. Not only was he facing Ji Yujin, he also lay in his arms, gently clutching his collar in his hands, with a look of utmost trust.

This posture is like that of a couple who have been together for many years, with the wife deeply dependent on her husband.

Chu Fengqing loosened his fingers and was about to move away from him, but any movement would inevitably disturb Ji Yujin.

Ji Yujin opened his eyes slightly, his eyes were even red and bloodshot; obviously, he had not slept enough. He glanced at Chu Fengqing.

Chu Fengqing was stunned and didn’t dare to move. “Are you awake?”

Ji Yujin looked at him for a moment, then pulled the quilt up to the highest point, covering both of them, and said in a muffled voice, “Stop making trouble and sleep a little longer.”

In the darkness, Chu Fengqing frowned and said, “A gentleman should not get up later than the morning hour.”

“Uh…” Suddenly, Chu Fengqing heard a muffled laugh, and then the laughter became louder and louder. Ji Yujin hugged his waist and laughed so hard that his body was shaking.

Chu Fengqing: “?”

Did he say something wrong? This guy is so strange.

Ji Yujin’s voice still contained a hint of laughter as he said only three words: “Little old-fashioned.”

Chu Fengqing: “……”

“If I am not a gentleman, then I don’t have to follow it, right? I don’t want to be a gentleman, I just want to be a villain, so I can continue to sleep, right?” Ji Yujin asked again.

Chu Fengqing frowned, and for a moment he didn’t know how to answer. He had been taught how to become a gentleman who was worthy of his conscience and the people since childhood. How could there be someone who would go so far beyond the dogma?

Ji Yujin hugged him and lazily said, “As the saying goes, a woman should obey her husband after marriage. I am a villain, and you should also be a villain. So, let’s continue to sleep.”

As he spoke, he hugged him tighter and actually closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Chu Fengqing: “……”

This person has a lot of twisted logic.

In addition to feeling unwell, he was still in a state of rest at noon.

He sighed lightly. Chu Fengqing followed his example and closed his eyes. After a while, he actually fell asleep too.

The two of them slept for another half an hour before Steward Mo woke them up.

Ji Yujin was wearing a set of clothes that was similar to the flying fish suit of the Jinyiwei today, but the color was still red. This set of clothes was simpler than his previous clothes, with the cuffs tightened, and he wore a pair of riding boots on his feet. He no longer wore a Liang Guan on his head but instead put his hair up high.

Chu Fengqing glanced at him, and four words popped up in his mind: “mighty and heroic”. It is not difficult to get a glimpse of the young general, who wore silver armor and went into battle to kill the enemy.

Ji Yujin appeared to love only the color red, yet he was also the sole person capable of subduing it.

Chu Fengqing was still wearing a thick fox fur coat. After all, hunting had nothing to do with him in this life. All he wanted was to keep warm. He still had to enjoy the breeze outside the tent today.

Ji Yujin calculated the old emperor’s getting-up time accurately. When the two of them slowly walked to the imperial tent, the old emperor had just changed his clothes. He felt sorry for the group of old ministers who had been outside for several hours.

Today is the first day of winter hunting, with flags fluttering, drums beating, and horses neighing.

Every man present instantly felt their blood boiling. Chu Fengqing gathered his fox fur cloak, his lips turning slightly pale. He had never experienced this kind of life before, and he found it quite exciting.

It was just because of his physical condition that he had never ridden on horseback, and he was somewhat envious of those who could ride freely.

The current emperor also fought on horseback in the past. Although he is older now, but he was still reluctant to give up autumn and winter hunting every year.

He was wearing armor and riding on a tall horse. He first took out the prize.

The prize this time was a gem-inlaid dagger, exquisite and splendid in appearance. Once unsheathed, a flash of silver gleamed as it sliced through iron without a sound. It was a tribute presented by an envoy from a foreign land.

The person who kills the most prey on the first day will receive this dagger.

Ji Yujin looked towards Chu Fengqing. He was wearing a red robe that was quite conspicuous. He held a horse whip in his hand and carried feather arrows on his back. He raised his eyebrows and said loudly, “Last time I said I would find you a dagger, but I never found a good-looking one. This one is quite good-looking and suits you well.”

“Wait for me to get it for you.”

Chu Fengqing’s eyes were clear, and he nodded slightly after hearing this. He just said, “Be careful.”

He pursed his lips and added, “I’ll wait for you.”

Ji Yujin met his eyes, was slightly stunned, and an indescribable emotion flashed in them.

At a command, the snow turned into mud under the horse’s hooves.

Chu Fengqing was standing aside with a group of civil officials and their families. Ji Yujin had been running for a long time, but suddenly turned his horse around and ran towards Chu Fengqing.

Before Chu Fengqing could react, he had already been carried onto the horse’s back.

He was so scared that he looked back and met Ji Yujin’s smiling eyes. He was smiling slightly.

Everyone was frightened by him and cried out in surprise while watching the two people riding their horses forward.

A civil official snorted, shook his sleeves, and scolded: “This person really has no rules.”

“If he follows any rules at all, would he still be called Ji Yujin? Lower your voice, his men are everywhere here. Be careful, or you’ll be in his hands by tomorrow.”

“But he really values his wife, which is rare. I thought the girl from the Chu family would not live for more than two days, I didn’t expect she could live until now.”

Ji Yujin and him didn’t hear what they said. He pushed Chu Fengqing to lift up his fox fur cloak a little, leaving only half of his face exposed.

Because of his asthma, Chu Fengqing is sensitive to tiny things like pollen and hair. Sometimes, inhaling too much can even trigger asthma. However, this fox fur is well-made and has a layer of leather inside, so it will not have any effect on him.

Ji Yujin smiled at him and said, “It’s too boring to stay there with a bunch of old people. So why not just come with me?”

Chu Fengqing was stunned for a moment. Ji Yujin took off his cloak and wrapped it around Chu Fengqing so that the cold wind could not reach him.

“What? You don’t like it?”

There was the sound of whistling wind in his ears, and the surroundings were rapidly retreating. Chu Fengqing shook his head. This was a pleasure he had never experienced before. With the crisp sound of horse hooves, the ice was broken, and his lips curled up slightly.

Ji Yujin took him to see a different world and pulled him into his world without any explanation.

Chu Fengqing said nothing, but placed his hand over Ji Yujin’s, clasping the reins together, conveying his joy through this gesture.

Ji Yujin lowered his eyes to glance at his hands and said in a clear voice, “Say what you want to say; otherwise, no one will know.”

Chu Fengqing was slightly startled, and a strange look flashed across his eyes, which had never shown emotion. He originally thought that it was Ji Yujin’s hard work, but it turned out that he understood the envy in his eyes.

This guy is really scary. He was actually hiding it very well…
