Jiang Suizhou leaned against the pillow behind him, but there was no way out.

Detecting his escape, Huo Wujiu looked even more stimulated, and his hands that flanked him moved a bit closer.

Their warm breaths intertwined.

“Hurry up.” He wasn’t at all satisfied with his small gains. “Don’t let General Lou wait.”

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t avoid him. Huo Wujiu’s breath fell on his face. It was warm and moist, making his heart desperately clamor in his chest.

“…Then you close your eyes,” he stuttered after a while.

Huo Wujiu obediently closed his eyes without delay with the corners of his mouth curling up.

Jiang Suizhou’s eyes lingered on his lips. Although they were close at hand, they made him shrink back.

He froze for a second, then closed his eyes, raised his head, and printed a kiss on Huo Wujiu’s forehead.

It was fast and slapdash, separating after a touch.

Huo Wujiu opened his eyes and found that Jiang Suizhou was still back in the same place. He rightfully said, “Okay, you can go now.”

Those eyes were very clear. At this moment, they were shrouded in Huo Wujiu’s arms, so when he looked at him, he radiated an indescribable innocence and obedience.

Huo Wujiu raised his hand and touched his forehead.

That kiss was too short, and there wasn’t even much of the warmth left. All that remained was a soft illusory touch. It was akin to a finger gently stroking his heart.

Huo Wujiu gritted his teeth: “Is that it?”

Although Jiang Suizhou was feeling a bit guilty, he still nodded.

Huo Wujiu clicked his tongue.

The next moment, his black shadow suddenly swooped down, and his breath instantly closed in.

He turned his head and kissed Jiang Suizhou’s lips heavily.

Huo Wujiu himself didn’t have the least bit of experience. Drive by impulse, it was more like a rampant collision than a kiss. Even his teeth knocked against Jiang Suizhou’s lips. He embodied a wild beast that couldn’t play coquettish at all and instead wanted to pounce on people. It was painful, but could let others feel that fiery passion.

This kiss didn’t last long. After a bit of tossing and turning, they parted.

Huo Wujiu pressed against Jiang Suizhou’s forehead and smiling said in a mute whisper, “I’m leaving, ah.”

After saying that, he propped himself up on the bed and stood up. He raised his hand and wiped Jiang Suizhou’s lips intimately before turning around and striding away.

Jiang Suizhou was left overwhelmed. He watched his back for a moment, then raised his hand and touched his lips with his knuckles.

A few moments later, he let out a gentle laugh.

It’s really…like being bitten by something.

Meanwhile, Wei Kai, who was standing upright outside the room, heard approaching footsteps and looked up.

He discovered that the General seemed to have wind at his feet. He was walking with vigorous strides with the scarlet cloak behind him fluttering up. He obviously was walking, but he appeared as if he was riding a horse.

“General!” Wei Kai stepped forward and noticed the moisture on the General’s lips under the bright sunlight.

Wei Kai stared at the moisture and smiled pleasantly. He looked a bit silly.

The General raised his eyes and gave him a sidelong glance.

The next moment, he launched a merciless kick toward the unsuspecting Wei Kai, causing him to stumble.

The kick wasn’t at all strong, but Wei Kai almost fell to the ground with a yelp. He saw that the General hadn’t withdrawn his feet yet, but the corners of his mouth were raised. He was grinning ear to ear, so much that the tips of his canine teeth, which had been indistinct in the past, peeked out.

The General then turned around and walked away. When he turned around, he also raised his hand and wiped his lower lip with his thumb.

A ruffian embodying an insatiable wild wolf.

“Follow me.”

That deep and arrogant voice was no different from the old days.

But Wei Kai could vaguely tell that the General had kicked him, not because he had done something wrong or was in a daze just now.

It was simply because he was sprinkling joy.

He grimaced and limped forward after him.

The Imperial City was now heavily guarded, and it was already Huo Wujiu’s territory.

Lou Yue waited in the imperial study. After a while, he heard a report from the soldiers that General Huo would be there soon. He could not sit still in his chair, so upon hearing the report, he jolted up and rubbed his hands awkwardly.

Huo Wujiu strode in from behind. He flicked his cloak without care of his elders and sat down on the throne.

Lou Yue was about to greet him, but Huo Wujiu waved his hand and said, “It’s fine, sit.”

Lou Yue clasped his hands in front of him, stood there in embarrassment, and didn’t move for a while.

He also watched Huo Wujiu grow up. He knew that this arrogant boy who was not afraid of anything always acted on what he said. He never joked or broke his promise.

What was more, everything indeed happened due to his negligence. He was the one who failed to carry out Huo Wujiu’s orders.

He was also quite fond of Jingwang. He was so guilty of letting the former Emperor capture him right under his own nose and leaving him to suffer such a great crime that nearly cost him his life. For a moment, he even wished that Huo Wujiu would stand by his word and punish him.

Against all expectations, Huo Wujiu looked up at him and stepped on the throne. “What are you afraid of now? The man’s not dead.”

Lou Yue replied in a deep voice, “It was indeed my oversight. I have no excuse. Now that you are also considered my superior, how you chastise me is up to you.”

“So you also know that it’s due to your negligence?” Huo Wujiu rested his arm on his knee.

For some reason, Lou Yue felt that although his voice was unkind, he wasn’t entirely furious. On the contrary, his voice bore a lofty and frivolous undertone.

Huo Wujiu continued, “My father has told you quite a few times before, hasn’t he? As a military general, don’t just think about going to war all day long. Even if you’re not involved, you still have to understand a bit about those twists and turns in the imperial court, don’t you think so?”

Lou Yue sullenly replied, then he saw Huo Wujiu leaning back.

Lou Yue was stunned at his words, so he hesitantly said, “But…”

What exactly are you talking about now?

According to Huo Wujiu’s temper, he shouldn’t be wasting time to talk to him at this moment and instead order people to dispose of him based on military law.

Huo Wujiu interrupted him. He raised his hand and asked the soldier next to him to pour Lou Yue a cup of tea.

“No buts,” he said. “This matter is over. Don’t mention it again.”

Lou Yue was quite shocked: “But…why?

Huo Wujiu glanced at him, raised his hand unconsciously and touched his lips.

That hand also blocked the corners of his slightly curled lips.

“Because you’re my elder, ah,” he replied.
