BLHO Chapter 104
by VolareChapter 104: Not Delaying Serving You
It had been too long since they last intimately connected, and Lin Shuangxu was incredibly sensitive. This kind of teasing instantly made his entire body heat up.
He lowered his eyes, subconsciously avoiding He Yuncheng’s direct gaze, but his body was compliant, allowing him to loosen his belt, pull open his outer robe, slide it off his shoulders, and then unravel the layers of inner garments, revealing his smooth skin.
After a day of battle, his body still carried the scent of blood. His reddened chest rose and fell, and his breathing became even more alluring as He Yuncheng nuzzled him with his nose.
He Yuncheng stripped him completely naked, including his lower trousers.
His bare body curled up in He Yuncheng’s arms, making him especially adorable when ashamed.
Desire roared within him, and Lin Shuangxu was captivated. His flushed breath met He Yuncheng’s, and just as he thought a kiss was about to land, he heard He Yuncheng say, “Go take a bath.”
Deliberately teasing him.
Lin Shuangxu opened his eyes, seeing He Yuncheng’s mocking yet alluring face, which was both infuriating and captivating.
He stood up, letting He Yuncheng’s unrestrained gaze wander over his entire body.
This man was originally a lecher, and Lin Shuangxu himself had agreed to being taken advantage of and bullied.
Stepping barefoot on the floor, he parted the beaded curtain and walked to the bath, immersing himself in the warm water. Instantly, he felt extremely comfortable from the inside out.
“I added herbs to the water. Soak for a while longer, and you’ll sleep well tonight,” He Yuncheng said to him from behind the beaded curtain.
Lin Shuangxu squinted his eyes, breathing evenly until his body adjusted to the water temperature. He leaned forward, resting on the edge of the tub, his chin resting on one arm, while the other arm reached out of the tub towards He Yuncheng.
He didn’t say anything, but the meaning of the gesture was to call He Yuncheng over.
He Yuncheng’s eyes never left him, slowly pushing the wooden wheels on both sides, moving closer to him.
The wheelchair stopped right next to the tub, and the two faced each other, surrounded by the scent of herbs.
“Is this a love potion?” Lin Shuangxu asked.
“What?”
“This.” Lin Shuangxu flicked a handful of warm water at He Yuncheng’s face.
He Yuncheng turned his head to avoid it, but a few droplets still landed on his hair, dripping down his jawline and into his collar. He licked his lips, unable to hide the smile on his face.
Lin Shuangxu’s hand then hooked around his neck.
Lin Shuangxu didn’t have the patience for lengthy foreplay; the countless sweet words he wanted to say couldn’t compare to the pleasure of kissing him.
He took the initiative to kiss He Yuncheng, pressing his wet body against him without a care.
He Yuncheng hesitated for a moment, then gladly accepted this silent but passionate confession.
Two pairs of lips intertwined, and warm breaths were exchanged intimately.
His thick palms unconsciously caressed Lin Shuangxu’s waist. Beneath the thin skin, the bones were hard and jarring to the touch, which was truly pitiful.
The two greedily drew sustenance from each other’s breath, forgetting the passage of time with one kiss.
“He Yuncheng…” Lin Shuangxu knelt on the wooden seat underwater, the water reaching his lower abdomen. His upper body rested entirely on He Yuncheng’s shoulder.
“I’m done washing.”
He Yuncheng coaxed him softly, “Soak for a while longer.”
“I don’t want to soak anymore. Let’s go to bed.”
He never expected that one day, this little rogue, He Yuncheng, would be made to blush by Lin Shuangxu. He couldn’t suppress his smile, and lifting Lin Shuangxu’s limp body, he relented, “Don’t be like this, I can’t take it.”
Lin Shuangxu didn’t care whether he could take it or not. He got out of the water, draped a loose robe over himself, and pushed his wheelchair, taking him back to the bed.
He Yuncheng was still very cooperative, and without his help, he supported himself as he moved, leaning against the headboard and lying down obediently.
Once the bed curtains were drawn, the atmosphere became even more ambiguous.
Lin Shuangxu’s hair was damp, and when he came up, it brushed against He Yuncheng’s cheek, making him uncontrollably excited.
He sat next to He Yuncheng, suddenly changing to a serious expression, observing his body from head to toe, back and forth.
After falling from the mountain valley, almost all the bones in his body must have been broken. Even though Immortal Xingzhi’s medical skills were extraordinary, He Yuncheng had truly experienced the pain of being crushed to pieces.
He put his hand on He Yuncheng’s knee, “Does it hurt?”
He Yuncheng didn’t answer such a heavy question, but wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him into his arms again.
“Not delaying serving you.”
The lingering body temperature rose again, and this time He Yuncheng took the lead, with kisses more fierce than before.
Lin Shuangxu was completely under his control, forced to lift his face, obediently letting him devour him.
The warm fingertips were too much for Lin Shuangxu to bear, and he trembled, biting He Yuncheng’s shoulder.
“You’re lying…”
He Yuncheng stared at his flushed face, asking, “What am I lying about?”
“I asked Immortal Xingzhi, and he said your leg… wasn’t crippled…”
He Yuncheng smiled, allowing him to catch his breath, and asked, “Why do you care so much? Can’t I still make you comfortable like this?”
“Who cares about that?”
“Then what do you care about?”
“It’s definitely not that.”
“Oh, so now?” He Yuncheng slowly moved away, tentatively asking, “Should I stop?”
Lin Shuangxu couldn’t help but moan, chasing after his lips to kiss him again.
“Yuncheng… call me…”
He Yuncheng must have known what he loved to hear, whispering in his ear with a breathy voice.
“Brother.”
–
A great fire turned the old dynasty, which was living off its past glories, into ruins. Gu Huan committed suicide, Li Yuliang was captured, and under the heavy pressure of the He family’s army, none of the officials who had not been involved dared to speak out.
But many people here knew that they didn’t have many days left. Once the new Emperor ascended the throne, everything from the past would be settled, and no one would escape.
Lin Shuangxu rested in the General’s Manor for two days. On the third day, someone from the palace came, informing him that Princess Meng Ning had awakened and wanted to see him in the palace.
He rode alone into the palace. The streets of the capital were gradually recovering, but overall, they were still shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, quite different from the past.
Outside Xuanwu Gate, the devastation of the war had been cleared away almost without a trace. The imperial palace was heavily guarded inside and out. Shen Tan led people to wait outside the palace gate. When Lin Shuangxu arrived, she led him into the palace.
Princess Meng Ning was recuperating in her former bedchamber. Having gone through life and death, everything had changed, but she felt no sadness, only a sense of joy and relief.
When Lin Shuangxu entered, she had just taken her medicine. The imperial physician instructed her to rest in bed, but seeing the visitor, her eyes lit up and she immediately got out of bed.
“Princess,” Lin Shuangxu greeted her.
Gu Meng Ning’s face was still a little pale. She waved her hand to Shen Tan, who was standing behind her, “A’Tan, take the others out first. I want to speak with him alone.”
“Okay.” Shen Tan led the others out, leaving only Lin Shuangxu and Gu Meng Ning in the room.
It was very quiet. Lin Shuangxu spoke first, “Are you feeling better?”
“I’m fine,” Gu Meng Ning replied casually, then got out of bed and walked towards him, pacing and touching her chin, carefully examining his face.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Shuangxu asked, feeling strange under her gaze.
Gu Meng Ning said, “I think the two of us look exactly alike.”
Lin Shuangxu frowned slightly, “Princess is exceptionally beautiful; my appearance is ordinary. How could we resemble each other?”
Gu Meng Ning pouted, displeased with his excessive humility, and moved closer, staring into his eyes.
Lin Shuangxu didn’t flinch, waiting to see what she was going to do.
Then, Gu Meng Ning narrowed her eyes and called out, “Brother.”
After she said that, she saw a fleeting look of panic in Lin Shuangxu’s eyes.
He took a half step back and nodded, “Your Highness is too kind. This commoner is terrified.”
“I’m not being polite, Lin Shuangxu, you are my brother.”
“I am not.”
“You are.”
“I am not.”
“If not, why did you save me so many times?”
Lin Shuangxu sighed inwardly, “I did it for the He family, for myself.”
Gu Meng Ning fell silent.
The atmosphere became somewhat somber for a moment.
Lin Shuangxu glanced at the bed behind her and said, “Go back to bed and lie down.”
“Okay.”
The usually perverse princess was surprisingly obedient. Gu Meng Ning followed his instructions and returned to bed, covering herself with the quilt and lying there, looking up at him.
When injured, her face lacked the sinister calculations, and she looked entirely like a little girl, which naturally softened hearts. Lin Shuangxu noticed her dry lips and poured her a cup of tea.
Gu Meng Ning held it with both hands, took a small sip, and then heard Lin Shuangxu ask her, “Who told you something?”
Regarding the matter of his identity, He Yuncheng wouldn’t say it, and Xingzhi wouldn’t either. But there were always rumors that couldn’t be dispelled, and it was inevitable that someone in the world knew.
He didn’t want to create hidden dangers for the future.
Gu Meng Ning pondered for a long time before answering, “If I said that my mother’s spirit told me that you are my brother from the same mother, would you believe me?”
The two met each other’s gaze. Lin Shuangxu was silent for a long time, and asked her, “Do you believe it?”
Gu Meng Ning nodded.
“I believe it.”
“And then?” Lin Shuangxu asked.
“What ‘and then’?”
Lin Shuangxu turned and looked at the tightly closed palace door, and said calmly, “Did you call me here today because you were afraid that I would threaten your throne and wanted to get rid of me?”
