TVLMS Chapter 76

Gu Xiyu’s body was not only as weak as Sister Lin’s but even his muscles and bones were weaker than normal people’s.

He used to go up and down mountains and kick more than a dozen people at a time, but now he just accidentally tripped on the road on this mountain and directly injured his foot.

He originally wanted to struggle and pretend that he was okay to walk back slowly, but every step sent a sharp pain in his body, and Chen Wei could see his situation.

Chen Wei supported him and said, with a guilty face: “It’s my fault for not taking good care of you, and you were injured.”

Gu Xiyu paused and withdrew his hand from the other party without a trace: “I don’t blame you for this.”

He found a stone stool nearby and sat down slowly, thinking that it would be good to wait for a while, and also because he didn’t want to walk so far with Chen Wei alone, so he said stubbornly: “It’s just a small injury, I can manage.”

Chen Wei did not persuade him much, standing in front of him with his hands on his chest and sighing: “Sure enough, this deep mountain and wild forest are still not suitable for you to live in.”

“You are in poor health, the palace is more suitable for you to nourish your body.” He hinted cryptically, and immediately lowered his voice and said, “The fortress master has not left for a while, but don’t worry, I will definitely find an opportunity to help you.” ”

Gu Xiyu was actually not in a hurry, but he still nodded silently to cooperate. He thought for a while and then said to Chen Wei: “Will you leave with me? The road to the Imperial City is long, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach it safely with my strength. ”

Chen Wei frowned, obviously a little embarrassed: “I… I may not be able to leave with you, but don’t worry, I have friends outside who can meet you. You can trust them. ”

It was probably someone from the First Prince’s faction.

Gu Xiyu was a little interested, and he really wanted to push the boat along the water and leave with that group of people to see what medicine they sold in their gourd.

Chen Wei saw him lower his head and, thinking that he was entangled, moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly looked ahead.

Gu Xiyu noticed Chen Wei’s strangeness. He looked up and saw that he had swallowed the words that had come to his lips with an odd expression. Just as he was feeling puzzled, a hand suddenly came onto his left shoulder.

As soon as he was about to turn around, he heard Chen Wei smile and say to the person behind him: “Fortress master.”

Gu Xiyu instantly dismissed the action of turning his head, and his stiff and tight body unconsciously relaxed a little. He simply didn’t want to deal with his nominal husband. Because of this name, he had to guard against whether the fortress master would take the opportunity to do something intimate with him.

But after getting along with him recently, he actually felt comfortable most of the time, and the feeling of being alone with him was not as awkward and uncomfortable as being with Chen Wei.

Ah Wen was the second man beside the Great Demon to give him this kind of comfort after many worlds, and the feeling he gave him was inexplicably familiar.

Gu Xiyu couldn’t help but start to doubt the system, or slowly lean towards the ridiculous idea that the Great Demon really didn’t want to be a prince and came to be a bandit king. After all, it sounded like something he would do.

The hand on his shoulder exerted a little force, and Gu Xiyu heard the fortress master say unhurriedly: “Good afternoon, the weather is indeed good today; I saw the two of you talking and laughing from afar, I don’t know what interesting things you are talking about, can you share them with me?”

Chen Wei was puzzled by his question, and he considered which answer would sound better.

On the other hand, Gu Xiyu directly replied in a straightforward tone: “No.”

Chen Wei had worked with the fortress master for many years and knew how much he disliked being resisted. He was pouring a cold sweat for Gu Xiyu, but he saw that the eyes of the man, who usually did not smile, suddenly bent into crescent moons, and he laughed softly. There was no anger in his eyes.

Chen Wei knew how bad the relationship between the fortress master and the palace was, and the fortress master had never hidden his hatred for the power of the imperial court from the moment they met. So when Gu Xiyu was forced to marry him, he always thought that it was just because the fortress master knew Gu Xiyu’s identity and deliberately wanted to go against the palace.

Judging from the fortress master’s initial reaction, it was obvious that he didn’t have that kind of thought for Gu Xiyu. But now, thinking about his increasingly tolerant attitude towards Gu Xiyu, as well as the displeasure he showed when he walked towards them, it made him wonder if the fortress master really had feelings for his wife.

It’s a pity that this princess from the Dayan kingdom was the person that his master ordered to be taken away. Even if he had accumulated some revolutionary friendship with the fortress master over the years, this matter could not be avoided.

His master’s command was greater than the heavens.

As soon as Chen Wei finished thinking, he raised his eyes and accidentally met Wei Chiyan’s eyes as they fell on him, and his heart skipped a beat. He inexplicably felt guilty.

“It’s been hard work for you.” Wei Chiyan’s eyes always made it difficult to guess his thoughts, and the tone of his current sentence made Chei Wen a little puzzled.  “The physician gave me an update on my wife’s condition, and it’s not very optimistic.  After some reflection, I found that I really paid too much attention to the affairs of the fortress and ignored my wife.”

Saying that, he lowered his head, and his gentle gaze fell on Gu Xiyu, making Gu Xiyu startled.

He suspected that Ah Wen had not only seen a doctor this morning but had also been fed some strange medicine, otherwise, why did he seem so abnormal?

Ah Wen looked at him for a while and then suddenly caressed his cheeks, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body and his pupils to quake in an instant.

He was like a licentious young master teasing a young maiden.

The problem was that he wasn’t a young maiden, which is why he felt so offended.

Wei Chiyan took in Gu Xiyu’s reaction and continued happily: “So I decided to temporarily put aside the affairs in the fortress from today onward, take more time to accompany Madam, and walk around with you more to relieve your boredom.”

“I’ll trouble you to help out more in the fortress during this time.” This sentence was said to Chen Wei.

Chen Wei returned to his senses and patted his chest with a smile: “No problem, the fortress master and his wife are newlyweds, and they should spend more time together to stabilize their relationship.”

The atmosphere gradually became strange, and Chen Wei seemed to suddenly understand something. He said with great insight: “Since the fortress master is here, I will retreat first and not disturb you.”

Wei Chiyan bowed his head slightly and didn’t say more. Chen Wei confirmed that the other party thought that he was hindering them, so he left very sensibly. Gu Xiyu didn’t expect Chen Wei to leave so simply, and he felt a little regretful that he couldn’t get more information from him, and silently complained that the man next to him came at a really bad time.

In Wei Chiyan’s eyes, Gu Xiyu’s gaze that followed the departing Chen Wei was reluctant, and he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Wei Chiyan felt that Gu Xiyu was to blame. He always chanted how much he liked him, so now he subconsciously thinks of him as his possession. Once this thought began to breed, the desire for possession was always stalking in the shadows, frantically eating away at his mind.

Anyway, sooner or later, he will be his.

Thinking of this, Wei Chiyan’s hand subconsciously pressed against the side of Gu Xiyu’s face, turning his head away from the direction where Chen Wei left and making him look back at him. He said in a deep voice: “The person you should look at is me.”

This voice shocked Gu Xiyu back to his senses.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the hand of the person in front of him and put it on his neck, saying with pleading eyes and a sincere tone: “Get back to normal, and don’t be so gentle with me anymore. Pinching my neck and threatening me to kill me is what you should be doing.”

The person who almost killed him a while ago suddenly became very tender, it was really difficult to adapt to.

A hint of surprise flashed through Ah Wen’s exposed eye, and then he smiled lightly. He was like a villain who had successfully amused his target.

Gu Xiyu couldn’t help but squeeze the hand under his sleeve.

There it was again, that familiar feeling.

Did the system give him the wrong data, or… was the man in front of him the mission target in disguise?

This speculation increased Gu Xiyu’s determination to enter the palace.

As long as he could meet the Wei Chiyan in the palace… he will be able to confirm it.

A slight tingling sensation in his ankle pulled back his drifting thoughts. The person who was teasing him had crouched in front of him at some point and was examining the injury on his foot.

The surrounding wind seemed to gradually come to a standstill, and the people in the fortress seemed to know that they were here and avoided it intentionally or unintentionally, so the atmosphere seemed quieter, and something strange was fermenting.

Ah Wen was once again wearing black clothes, and on his crown of hair was a silver ornament that highlighted his innately noble temperament.

Gu Xiyu heard him ask, “Does it hurt?”

After a moment, he still replied out loud: “It’s okay… ah! ”

The skin at the ankle was a little red and looked a little scary, but he felt that he would recover in a few days as long as he trod lightly. But Ah Wen deliberately pressed hard; who wouldn’t feel pain from that?

He stared at Ah Wen with resentful eyes, feeling that this guy had a brain disease and was unreasonable.

But the angrier he got, the better the mood of the person teasing him got, and finally, he carried the injured him back to the room.

“If you want to go out in the future, just let people inform me and I will accompany you.”

Gu Xiyu was sitting on the edge of the bed and the shoes on his feet had been taken off. Ah Wen didn’t even need a doctor, he was skillfully handling his injury. He hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to remind him: “You don’t have to be so nice to me.”

“I think you should remember what I said, I like Wei Chiyan, I want to be only with him.”

Wei Chiyan had listened to this confession several times. He slightly lowered his head to cover the faint smile on his lips, and answered Gu Xiyu seriously: “Yes, I’ll remember.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll let you stay with him.” In order to make the later stage smoother, we can start by cultivating feelings.

Gu Xiyu didn’t know what Wei Chiyan was thinking and seeing that he seemed to be quite sober, he no longer refused his kindness.

Wei Chiyan carefully bandaged the sprain on Gu Xiyu’s foot, and as he was leaving, he happened to run into Xia Qiu, who had received Chen Wei’s order to bring soup to Gu Xiyu.

The little girl enthusiastically and carefully curtsied, and Wei Chiyan asked her about Gu Xiyu’s health in passing: “How is my wife doing lately?”

Xia Qiu: “I heard the physician say that she is more energetic than when she first came to the village, but the physical wear and tear is too serious, and I am afraid there won’t be that many significant changes in the short term. After autumn, the weather in the mountains becomes cooler, and Madam’s body will begin to ache when she is cold. And she does not seem to rest well at night, she always wakes up the next day in poor spirits.”

Wei Chiyan thought about it.

Although the two of them were married and lived in the same place, they still slept in separate rooms for various reasons. Wei Chiyan has never been anxious about this matter, and it just so happened that the doctor also said that Gu Xiyu’s physical condition was inconvenient for intercourse, so he didn’t want to sleep with him.

The situation that Xia Qiu casually reported has always been on his mind, and he began to consider whether to move into Gu Xiyu’s room. But this person, who was obsessed with ‘Wei Chiyan’ would not agree.

At night, Wei Chiyan was lying on the bed, his mind sorting out the affairs that he had handled and arranged during the day, when he suddenly heard Gu Xiyu’s voice.

“System, are you sleeping?”

At this hour, Gu Xiyu, who had gone to bed early, should have fallen asleep, but he didn’t expect that he would still be awake at this time.

Wei Chiyan replied suspiciously, [What’s wrong?]

The other took a while before replying: “It’s nothing, I can’t sleep. Can you play me some hypnotic movies?”

Although Wei Chiyan didn’t understand what “movies” meant, it didn’t prevent his panel from taking the initiative to search for what he wanted for Gu Xiyu after putting in the keywords.

His focus was on Going Xiyu’s insomnia: [Why?]

Gu Xiyu’s answer was calm: “It’s cold, my body aches.”

“It’s tolerable, but it’s affecting my rest a bit.”

Gu Xiyu on the opposite side seemed to have received the so-called movie—a very magical and moving picture. He quietly watched it and did not pay attention to him anymore. But his mind was full of Gu Xiyu’s casual but sad words. He could feel that this person seemed to be used to the so-called pain, but it made him who heard his indifferent tone feel more concerned.

Wei Chiyan did not dwell for a long time. He got up and came to Gu Xiyu’s bedroom, which was separated from him by a few small courtyards.

It was the middle of the night, and the lights in the room had long been turned off.

But Wei Chiyan knew that the person in the room was not asleep. He stood at the door, and could still hear the sound of coughing from inside from time to time.

To make it easier for people to take care of Gu Xiyu and provide assistance as soon as he had any emergencies, the door was not locked when there were guards around the yard.

Wei Chiyan directly pushed the door open and walked in. The person who was not asleep on the bed was alarmed by this sudden movement, the slightly raised quilt moved a few times, and then Gu Xiyu’s sleepy face with a little astonishment appeared in his sight.

“Don’t tell me you sleepwalked into my room.” The person in the bed was calmer than he expected.

Of course, Wei Chiyan couldn’t tell Gu Xiyu that he came here out of worry about the future ‘imperial wife’.

He walked to the bed and said to Gu Xiyu condescendingly: “I have been tossing and turning for a long time in the past few days, and I feel that some things are not very reasonable. ”

The person on the bed looked dazed: “? ”

What was unreasonable?

Then he heard the man, who suddenly broke into his room in the middle of the night, continue with a very straightforward attitude: “I am married, but I still sleep alone every night. Since I have given you all the benefits that the lady of the fortress can enjoy, shouldn’t you also give me something in return?”

The man stared at him solemnly: “I have decided to share a bed with you from now on.”

Gu Xiyu: “… I don’t want to. ”

“Well, that’s fine, I do.”

“…”
