BLHO Chapter 13
by VolareChapter 13: Weren’t you telling me to get lost?
After saying this, Lin Shuangxu really developed a fever, his face as red as if it was about to drip blood, unable to hide it no matter what.
“You… what nonsense are you talking about?”
Even the strongest fragrance should have dissipated after so many days, how could there possibly still be a scent.
He Yuncheng couldn’t help but laugh at his embarrassed appearance.
“Oh, then maybe it was just my hallucination. It’s just that I’m in the military camp all year round and haven’t smelled such a fragrant scent, so it’s really… unforgettable.”
As he spoke, his mischievous ideas came up again, and he asked Lin Shuangxu, “I heard that the scent on a woman’s body is even better, is that true?”
Lin Shuangxu glared at him, “How would I know? Wait until you’re married and go smell it yourself.”
He got up and directly pushed He Yuncheng out of the room, “I need to rest, you should leave quickly.”
“Hey, you…”
With a bang, He Yuncheng was mercilessly shut out of the door.
Just kidding around, and he’s unhappy again. What a temper.
–
Two days later, outside the city, at the He family military camp.
There was no string or wind music in the army, fortunately there was fine wine and good food, which could comfort the soldiers’ homesickness.
Today was an exception, the ever-disciplined General Dingguo allowed the brothers to drink freely in the army.
Inside the military tent, the aroma of wine and meat filled the air. Only on this one day of the year could everyone relax, and they were all enjoying themselves.
After drinking for several rounds, the deputy general was flushed, holding a wine bowl, staggering to He Yuncheng.
“General…” He was so drunk that his tongue was stiff, and his pronunciation was unclear. When He Yuncheng saw him coming, he naturally picked up the wine bowl, intending to clink it with him, but heard him say, “You see us every day, General, so I won’t be polite to you. Come, this bowl of wine, I’ll toast to the young master!”
He extended the wine bowl towards Lin Shuangxu, who was standing nearby, “Young Master, if it weren’t for you, my whole family wouldn’t have enough surplus grain for the winter this year, I really don’t know how we would have gotten through it, come, I’ll toast to you!”
Everyone familiar with Lin Shuangxu knew that he never touched alcohol.
Military Advisor Guo Yao quickly stopped him and said to the deputy general, “The young master can’t hold his liquor, find someone else to drink with!”
The deputy general was muddled from drinking and didn’t hear what Guo Yao said. Lifting his wine bowl, he said heartily, “Young Master, I’ll drink this as a sign of respect!”
With a tilt of his neck, he drank the bowl of strong liquor in one gulp.
Lin Shuangxu watched him finish drinking, thought for a moment, then picked up the wine jar beside him and filled his empty bowl.
Just as he was about to raise it, He Yuncheng grabbed his wrist, and said softly, “Don’t drink if you don’t want to.”
Lin Shuangxu glanced at him, and said to the deputy general, “No need to thank me, this is what the He family should do.” He stood up with the wine bowl in his hand, and said to everyone, “Only a strong army can ensure national security. Soldiers, it is thanks to you that Bei Sheng has peace. The people will not forget you, and the He family will never let you down. I toast to everyone!”
He drank the full bowl of wine in one breath.
The tent was silent for a moment, and then erupted, everyone raised their wine bowls, shouting in unison, “Our army is mighty!”
This was really beyond He Yuncheng’s expectations. He stared blankly at Lin Shuangxu, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
After Lin Shuangxu sat down, he leaned closer and whispered to him, “Are you alright?”
Lin Shuangxu lowered his head and didn’t say anything. The wine was very strong, and it burned going down, making him uncomfortable.
He Yuncheng put some food in his bowl, “Eat something, take a break.”
At this moment, other soldiers came over, one after another, all wanting to toast him.
He Yuncheng had to stop them, glaring, “What are you doing, go drink over there.”
“It’s alright.” Lin Shuangxu picked up the wine jar again, slowly filled his bowl, and sincerely toasted back, “Thank you for your hard work.”
A bunch of rough guys, rarely having the opportunity to drink with a refined person like Lin Shuangxu, were all full of novelty.
He Yuncheng couldn’t help but start to doubt himself, did he order his subordinates to help him get Lin Shuangxu drunk?
No, he didn’t…
The truth was, no one forced him to drink, he had taken the initiative to drink today.
He Yuncheng knew what his alcohol tolerance was like.
Because he was drinking freely, He Yuncheng didn’t dare to drink too much, sitting beside him, watching him. Soon, he became drunk, unable to open his eyes, unable to sit still, and fell to the side, directly falling onto He Yuncheng.
Helpless, He Yuncheng said to Guo Yao, “I’ll take him to the tent to rest, you take care of things here for me.”
“Yes, General, please take the young master back quickly.”
“Mm.”
He Yuncheng stood up and directly picked up Lin Shuangxu by the waist, leaving the banquet.
Someone who was so drunk that his eyes were blurry grabbed his companion and asked, “Did the general just leave? Is the beauty in his arms his lover? Where did she come from? Why didn’t I see her just now?”
The companion was shocked, “Are you blind? That’s the young master!”
“The young master’s appearance… is really handsome…”
–
He Yuncheng returned to the tent, shutting out the noise. He put Lin Shuangxu on the couch and covered him with a cotton quilt.
Feeling hot after drinking, Lin Shuangxu kicked open the quilt, pulling at his collar uncomfortably.
“Don’t take it off.” He Yuncheng held his hand, “Be careful of catching a cold again. I told you not to drink, why did you have to? Now you’re uncomfortable, right?”
Lin Shuangxu licked his lips twice, frowning.
“I’ll go get you some water, wait.”
He Yuncheng tucked in the quilt for him, but as soon as he stood up, his sleeve was pulled.
Lin Shuangxu’s eyes were tightly closed, looking confused.
He Yuncheng leaned back down to the bed, being as gentle as he usually was reckless, and pressed the back of his hand to Lin Shuangxu’s cheek, which was burning hot.
“What are you doing grabbing me?”
Lin Shuangxu’s eyelashes were trembling slightly.
The light in the military tent was dim, and He Yuncheng looked at his face, feeling a little suppressed after being slightly drunk, a tidal wave surging beneath his chest. He leaned above Lin Shuangxu, gently arranging his disheveled hair, and asked him, “Weren’t you forcing me to marry someone else? Weren’t you telling me to get lost? What are you pulling me for?”
Lin Shuangxu was so drunk now that he couldn’t hear him at all.
His heart was pounding wildly, He Yuncheng slowly, carefully, approached Lin Shuangxu.
Two pairs of lips with the scent of wine, slowly, slowly, approached.
He stopped when they were almost touching noses.
Taking a deep breath, he restrained himself and used his fingers to hook a strand of Lin Shuangxu’s hair, the soft ends of the hair close to his nose, he smelled a faint fragrance.
A very gentle kiss, preciously landing on that strand of hair.
He would be more presumptuous when Lin Shuangxu was awake, not minding being scolded or beaten, but Lin Shuangxu was currently in a state of confusion, he wouldn’t take advantage of him.
It was a kiss that stopped at propriety, and Lin Shuangxu didn’t even feel it.
He lay quietly, his breathing much steadier than before.
“Sleep.” He Yuncheng’s voice was very soft. After saying that, he stood up, but the hem of his clothes was once again grabbed by the unconscious person.
Lin Shuangxu squinted his eyes, his lost eyes red, looking at each other with He Yuncheng.
Without saying anything, he raised his chin, the corner of his jaw tensing into a smooth arc.
He kissed He Yuncheng.
