After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

Chapter 187

At first, it was fine to use his hands, but Huo Wujiu didn’t stop there twice after. He developed some other methods to torment him.

Jiang Suizhou concluded that he had led a wolf into his room.

Nonetheless, he couldn’t resist Huo Wujiu’s eyes. That pair of eyes was so deep and fiery. When he insisted on Jiang Suizhou to help him, he would shoot him with a pitiful look like that of a defeated dog, simply rendering him helpless.

Jiang Suizhou thought to himself, he had fallen so badly.

They quietly waited for the arrival of the forces from the north in this manner. The days passed day by day, and soon June was almost over.

It was the hottest time of the year in Lin’an, and Jiang Suizhou’s vigor turned weak and weary. Although he had almost recovered from his injuries, he was still weak and couldn’t use ice, so Li Changning had to add a few medicinal herbs to his daily medicine to clear away heat and lower his temperature.

Huo Wujiu couldn’t stand this.

Ice couldn’t be used in Jiang Suizhou’s room, so he suffered from the heat every night when he came back. He was already blazing hot, so these moments were more unbearable. Every night, he would toss and turn for a long time before drifting off to sleep.

But he didn’t leave.

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t bear to see him suffering from the heat. Moreover, Huo Wujiu was very busy in the past days. He went out early and returned late, but Jiang Suizhou didn’t know what he was up to. He couldn’t sleep well at night, which affected his energy even more.

Jiang Suizhou began to persuade him.

But Huo Wujiu refused to listen, and he would deliberately act shamelessly toward Jiang Suizhou. No matter what kind of marquis or nobility he was, he was also a wily old bird that had rolled out of the barracks. No one could resist him when he was playing the rogue.

Jiang Suizhou had no choice but to give up, secretly suppressing all his worries.

Until this day.

It was getting late, and it was almost the third watch. The summer heat during the day had subsided a lot, and for someone like Jiang Suizhou who had a cold disposition, it was already an extremely suitable temperature. However, once Huo Wujiu was with him, the heat would definitely spin and rise once more.

Jiang Suizhou was flipping through a book on the bed. He was already starting to doze off, but Huo Wujiu still hadn’t returned.

He yawned and flipped another page.

Footsteps sounded.

He looked up, but saw an unfamiliar soldier. The soldier knelt down on one knee in front of him and greeted him.

“Your Highness, the General asked this subordinate to bring word to you. He has something to deal with, so please don’t wait for him,” the soldier reported.

Jiang Suizhou froze and responded, “Got it. Thank you for making this trip.”

The soldier bowed and said he was flattered, then retreated.

Jiang Suizhou sat in the same until Meng Qianshan came to serve him to sleep, then put away the book in his hand awkwardly.

——In recent days, Huo Wujiu forcibly took the book from his hand whenever he returned. It had only been a while but it had become a habit.

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help smiling at the thought of it. He put away the book and laid down to rest with Meng Qianshan’s help. fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.

It was always cool at night. Without Huo Wujiu’s tossing and turning, a fireplace so to speak, he didn’t have to deal with his pestering, so he thought he could sleep more soundly tonight.

Against all odds, the night was like water, and the candle flames flickered, but Jiang Suizhou couldn’t sleep.

He laid down with his side empty. It was a little too quiet, so for a time, he felt entirely unaccustomed to it. Consequently, his sleepiness disappeared.

This was the first time Jiang Suizhou suffered from insomnia in all these years.

He didn’t know if Huo Wujiu’s presence was too strong or if he was too domineering, but after so many days, he had left his traces in all the places around him.

Like a canine that has taken over a territory.

That reference made Jiang Suizhou smile to himself.

As the night wore on, the sound of the water clock leaked hollowly from outside, one trickle at a time.

Having had a weak disposition, Jiang Suizhou gradually dozed off.

But he was a light sleeper this time, and the slightest movement woke him up. After an unknown amount of time, there was a rustling sound beside him, as if someone was carefully lifting the curtain and squeezing onto his bed.

Jiang Suizhou opened his eyes and saw Huo Wujiu, who was cautiously about to lie down.

The moment Huo Wujiu noticed his movement, he quickly turned his head vigilantly, and saw Jiang Suizhou looking at him sleepily.

His half-asleep, half-awake demeanor was the most charming.

Huo Wujiu couldn’t resist leaning down and kissing Jiang Suizhou on the corner of his eye. It wasn’t enough, so he changed directions and captured his lips.

That wasn’t the end of it.

When Jiang Suizhou pushed him away, his bed clothes were already a little loose, and Huo Wujiu was embracing him.

Jiang Suizhou tilted his head to look at the sky outside. It was already predawn.

“It’s about to dawn, right?” Jiang Suizhou asked.

Huo Wujiu hasn’t kissed him enough yet. Like a wolf smelling blood, he sniffed Jiang Suizhou’s neck again.

Jiang Suizhou pushed him twice, but he didn’t budge an inch.

“Then why didn’t you take a rest first and then rush back?” Jiang Suizhou said.

Then he heard Huo Wujiu speaking from the neck. His voice was muffled, “No, I can’t sleep outside.”

The corners of Jiang Suizhou’s mouth moved, as if rising up unconsciously.

“Then go to sleep,” he said. “What has kept you busy until the middle of the night?”

Huo Wujiu obediently turned over on the bed, wrapped Jiang Suizhou into his arms and hugged him tightly.

“Secret,” he replied.

Jiang Suizhou smiled at his response, but he closed his eyes without further questioning.

What secrets did Huo Wujiu have? Although the two of them hadn’t been together for a long time, he still fully trusted him.

——Although he didn’t know where this confidence came from.

He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but unexpectedly, Huo Wujiu was still being dishonest beside him.

He lay quietly for a while, and then suddenly turned over and sat up as if he was out of breath. freēwēbnovel.com

Jiang Suizhou snappily opened his eyes: “What’s wrong?”

Huo Wujiu was wearing his boots with his back to him. With gritted teeth, he spoke.

“Don’t you want to know what it is?” he asked.

Jiang Suizhou was a little confused: “Didn’t you say it’s a secret?”

Huo Wujiu put on his boots indiscriminately, stood up, turned his head and retorted angrily.

“Won’t you ask even if it’s a secret?” he asked.
