TVLMS Chapter 77

Wei Chiyan was naturally the most powerful in his territory. Gu Xiyu was not as strong as him, and a punch from this broken body does not have his strength, so no matter how much he refused, it was a matter of certainty that Wei Chi would stay in his room.

Wei Chiyan saw that Gu Xiyu was guarding against him like he was a flower thief, and couldn’t help but feel amused: “We are both men; what is there to be afraid of?”

*Flower thief means rapist.

After thinking about it, he asked with curiosity: “Although I have heard of broken sleeves since ancient times, I have never considered how two men can have sex. I envisioned the two of them helping each other, but if they want to go further…” he hesitated under Gu Xiyu’s slightly annoyed and shocked gaze, “Is it really possible to enter that place?”

It was unknown what strange pictures Wei Chiyan had made up in his brain, as his expression gradually became subtle, and when he spoke up again, he said: “It’s quite big… won’t it hurt? ”

Gu Xiyu’s whole body seemed to be trembling slightly, and he didn’t know whether it was from anger or excitement.

Wei Chiyan felt that he should be angry, because he directly grabbed the pillow and smashed it in his direction, angrily saying, in an indifferent and emotionless tone: “You don’t need to worry about these issues, fortress master. Besides, no matter what you think, the person I will do those things with will not be you.”

Gu Xiyu couldn’t tell if this fortress master really didn’t understand or if he was teasing him. Even after he finished speaking, the other party did not feel angry but looked at him with a mischievous smile.

If he could have his way, he would have preferred to sleep on the floor.

After resisting fruitlessly, Gu Xiyu could only take out a quilt from the cabinet and make a boundary in the rather large double bed. The fortress master did not ask any more questions nor did he mind his actions, letting him sleep on the inside while he lay on the outside, unexpectedly giving him an inexplicable sense of security.

Gu Xiyu was originally unable to sleep because of the discomfort in his body, and now he had to guard against a wolf. He thought that his night should be even more difficult, but unexpectedly, lying next to Ah Wen was not as repulsive as imagined. Even with the slight distance between them, his body seemed to feel the warmth from the other party.

Martial arts practitioners always have more true qi on their bodies. They are like walking heaters so most of them are not afraid of the cold, and they don’t care if they wear less than others in winter. The first time he came to this ancient world, he had only seen this statement in books before, and now that he was experiencing it firsthand, the description in the book was not completely deceptive.

He closed his eyes and turned off the hypnotic video that the system had played for him, and his thoughts mixed with the drowsiness that gradually struck.

Will Wei Chiyan’s body be so warm?

The fortress master, who was lying beside him, had his eyes closed and looked like he had fallen into a deep sleep.

In fact, Gu Xiyu fell asleep faster than Wei Chiyan. His breathing gradually became steady and long, but Wei Chiyan’s consciousness was still awake.

To say that he was not used to this would be an understatement. This was the first time he had slept next to someone else.

And it was a man who kept saying that he just wanted to be with him.

Apart from the strangeness of it being the first time, the feeling of staying in the same space with Gu Xiyu was calm and… comfortable. Not physically, but a mental comfort. It seemed like as long as he stayed with him, the irritability and depression accumulated during the day or at other times would be slowly smoothed by his breath.

Wei Chiyan was a little stunned.

It turns out that there are people in this world who could give him feelings other than irritation by trying to get close to him.

Gu Xiyu said that he felt they had a previous life, so from this moment on, should he also try to believe in this… Hasn’t he overturned assumptions countless times?

Wei Chiyan raised his hand and touched his right eye. His heart felt sour, and even the ripples that came whenever he thought about his right eye were miraculously smoothed out by the man next to him.

Gu Xiyu removed his makeup when he slept, so Wei Chiyan tried to use the opportunity to see what he looked like under it. But before he could turn his head, the person lying next to him suddenly moved and took the initiative to lean in his direction.

Wei Chiyan knew why he had such a reaction; he appeared here to dispel his cold by warming the bed. Even though he didn’t say his intentions directly and Gu Xiyu had made this funny barrier, he knew the other party would definitely take the initiative to find the warmth he wanted once he fell asleep.

He deliberately put his hand into Gu Xiyu’s quilt, and the person on the other side took the initiative to lean over immediately, subconsciously finding something that could soothe his body more.

People are always insatiable, and when they taste some sweetness, they naturally want to ask for more. So there was no need for Wei Chiyan to do anything again. Gu Xiyu, who regarded him as a heater in his dreams, took the lead in breaking the ‘boundary’ he had established and came closer to him.

Wei Chiyan could feel the cold coming from Gu Xiyu’s hands through his clothes, and he looked down at the person holding his arm. His eyelashes covered the look in his eyes, and he smiled triumphantly.

The night seemed to pass peacefully like this until around midnight, when Wei Chiyan, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

He was not the only one who woke up at this point. In a small corner of his yard, a small warehouse made of thatch and wooden planks suddenly caught fire, and the fire spread to the firewood shed on the side. It burned more and more fiercely, alarming the guards and the people resting nearby.

“Fire! it’s on fire!”

“Hurry up and help put out the fire!”

“I remember that next to the shed is a residence on the west side. Aren’t there women and children living in it? Go get them all out before the fire gets serious!”

No one cared about their appearance, especially the men. With sleepy eyes and messy hair, they threw on their coats and came out to fetch water and put out the fire. Fortunately, the fortress has people taking turns guarding it, so the situation wouldn’t get uncontrollable.

In the courtyard of the fortress master, far from the place of fire, a figure took advantage of the chaos to quietly come to Gu Xiyu’s room. He raised his hand and gently knocked a few times, then waited for a response.

Chen Wei waited for a while without hearing any movement inside, so he guessed that Gu Xiyu might be sleeping deeply. He pushed the door and found that it was unlocked, so he hesitated for a while and quietly walked in.

There was no light in the room, and he could only faintly see a person lying on the bed through the moonlight shining in from outside the room. He came to the bed, and although he could not immediately see the face of the person on the bed, he could vaguely recognize the other party from the thin body in the quilt.

Chen Wei was just about to stretch out his hand to wake him up, when a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind him: “Chen Wei, what did you want to do by breaking into my wife’s room?”

At these words, a chill rushed from Chen Wei’s tail vertebrae to the top of his head, and the thoughts in his mind were interrupted for a moment before he reacted slowly.

The fortress master’s voice was extremely recognizable, as long as he spoke, one could immediately recognize his identity without the need to see his face.

He turned around stiffly and saw the man with the familiar silver seamless mask over his right eye slowly walking out of the shadows. The exposed eye was terrifyingly dark, giving the target of his gaze a suffocating feeling of being choked.

Chen Wei looked at the man in front of him and had the illusion that the trust that had taken several years to establish was gradually crumbling.

He tried to suppress the fear in his heart and calmly replied: “The warehouse near the west wing is on fire, and I was a little worried about the situation of the fortress master and his wife…I couldn’t find you, so I came to confirm the safety of Madam. ”

The man stared at him for a long time before he spoke up, “Really? What happened to the fire? ”

Chen Wei lowered his head and replied: “I’m not sure, everyone was trying to put out the fire before coming over. If they haven’t come to trouble you, then the situation must have been successfully controlled.”

“Oh.” The fortress master replied nonchalantly, then smiled again and said, “You have worked hard. I can only rest assured knowing that you can always think of my safety and also handle my instructions well.”

Chen Wei wasn’t sure if Wei Chiyan’s words were sincere or meaningful.

The instructions he was talking about were probably about taking care of the fortress and the madam, who had just arrived.

Chen Wei didn’t speak, and after a short while, he heard the person in front of him speak again: “But this is the east courtyard, and you rushed over so quickly, yet the fire is on the west side.”

As if he had expected such a question, Chen Wei replied immediately: “The main reason is that the outside has not been peaceful recently, and it is difficult to guarantee whether this fire was deliberately caused by someone after sneaking in. If this were the case, the fortress master and the madam would definitely bear the brunt here. I had to ensure the safety of the two of you.”

The man in the small mask chuckled. His low voice sounded pleasant, but it made Chen Wei tense.

“You have a point, I have to talk to Liu Ping and the others later. Let them find out the cause of this fire.” Wei Chiyan said casually, “I have been bothering you, you don’t have to worry so much about Madam in the future.”

“I will take her to my residence tomorrow. She will eat and live with me in the future.” Wei Chiyan said, then his eyes narrowed slightly, “She is safest with me.”

Chen Wei was stunned, and his smile was a little stiff: “I didn’t expect the fortress master…to like Madam so much. ”

Wei Chiyan replied, “You know my nature best, if I don’t like her, how can I allow her to sit in this position?”

“Or do you think I have other intentions?”

Chen Wei was stunned by his question, and he teased: “This is naturally only clear to the fortress master. ”

Of course, the fire did not set itself off because of something dry, this was an opportunity that he deliberately created—the opportunity to ‘save’ Gu Xiyu. Before arranging these things, he had already made preparations with the idea that Gu Xiyu would be living separately from the fortress master.

So he really didn’t expect to bump into him tonight.

He originally thought that the two of them had no emotional foundation, but now he was suddenly uncertain. It would not be a good thing for him if the bond between the two deepened.

Chen Wei temporarily suppressed the entanglement in his heart and said to the fortress master who was still awake: “Since you are fine, I am relieved. I’ll go back and check the situation in the West Wing first, and I’ll come back to inform you if there is any major matter. ”

“Mmm.” The man replied, not doing much to keep him.

Chen Wei exited the room and stared at the door he had just closed, feeling inexplicably a little uneasy.

He only hoped the fortress master was not suspicious.

Because of Wei Chiyan’s whim, Chen Wei’s plan to help Gu Xiyu escape naturally failed. The fire was finally suppressed with everyone’s concerted efforts. Fortunately, the location of the fair was relatively remote, far from the important weapons depot and granary, and did not cause much damage.

Gu Xiyu woke up the next day and heard about this incident, and the fortress master, who was having breakfast with him, suddenly said sourly: “Your relationship with Chen Wei seems to be quite good.”

“He lives so far away, but the first thing that came to his mind after the fire was you. He specially ran over to confirm your safety.”

Gu Xiyu paused as he took the chopsticks, and then said in a light tone: “It’s okay, didn’t you ask him to come over and help take care of me? I thought I could rely on him since I didn’t know anyone here and he seemed easy to get along with. ”

This sentence was very unpleasant in Wei Chiyan’s ears, and the taste of the food in his mouth became dull.

He first took away the dish that Gu Xiyu’s chopsticks were about to touch, and under the other party’s stunned eyes, calmly sent the food to his bowl: “There’s no need now.”

“I spend a lot of time in the fortress now; if there is anything you need, just tell me. If you want to wander outside, I can accompany you. You don’t need anyone else.” His words sounded more like an order than an opinion.

Gu Xiyu glanced at him: “You are busy; you don’t have to spend your time on me. Besides, you are the master of this fortress, so your status is very noble. And I don’t like staying with you, you make me very stressed. ”

Wei Chiyan didn’t like to hear this and raised his eyebrows: “Is that so?”

“After falling asleep last night, someone opened the boundary he had made, kept getting closer to me, and when I woke up in the morning, he had thrown himself into my arms and didn’t want to let me leave…” Before the words were finished, Gu Xiyu, who was embarrassed and angry, picked up a scone and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to block it.

Gu Xiyu really hated this body.

In the past, he loved the cold.

He liked it even now. He would even eat ice before, but this mission world limited his preferences.

After getting satisfaction from teasing him, the man took the scone he stuffed and gnawed on it. He seemed to be in a good mood.

So good that he suddenly showed compassion and said, “I’m going down the mountain in a few days; I’ll go after the physician examines your physical condition.”

“If the conditioning is okay, it is not impossible to take you to town with me.”

Gu Xiyu was slightly stunned when he heard this: “You… want to take me down the mountain? Aren’t you afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape? ”

The man hooked the corner of his lips, his eyes were deep, and his tone was unclear: “It is much safer to put you under my nose and watch you than to leave you in the mountains.”

Gu Xiyu’s eyelids twitched, and he almost wondered if the other party had discovered his and Chen Wei’s little plan; otherwise, this was very weird.

“As you wish, if you are willing to take me, of course, I am willing.”

It has been a while since he was separated from Murong Qingwan. He wondered how this little princess was faring out there alone. Did she successfully meet the male protagonist, Chi Rong? Perhaps he will have the opportunity to meet them during this trip.

If they met, was it possible to accompany them to the palace? With Chi Rong as the male protagonist, cannon fodder like the fortress master will definitely not be able to stop him from escaping.
