MLIAM Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Soaking in a Medicinal Bath

You’re not leaving, so you’ve completely acquiesced.……

Yu Shuli helped Wei Yan out of the medicinal bath.

He reached out and tested the water, then turned to ask Wei Yan, “A little hotter, is that okay?”

“Mm.”

Wei Yan’s long legs stepped into the tub, the edges of his undergarments gradually becoming soaked along the waterline. He turned his head, a pair of red, moist eyes looking over: “Ji’an.” His voice was almost inaudibly fragile.

“Mm?”

“You’ve seen my body, you have to take responsibility for me.” He tilted his head slightly, his palm sliding down to clasp Yu Shuli’s waist, “If you abandon me, I’ll find you at the ends of the earth.”

Yu Shuli chuckled softly, his eyes curving, “If I were thinking of starting something and then abandoning it, what could the Prime Minister do to me? The world is so big, would you really search the world for a heartless man like me?”

“Don’t you believe it.” Wei Yan slowly soaked himself in the tub, his dark gaze fixed on Yu Shuli, “I can find you, I will definitely find you.”

Yu Shuli didn’t want to argue with him, nor did he want to waste time on these things, so he perfunctorily nodded, “Okay, okay, you can find me.”

Wei Yan pouted, resting his head on Yu Shuli’s lap, “You’re so mean.”

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m a Scumbag. Move over, let the Scumbag help you bathe.” Yu Shuli held his head with one hand, pushing him away a little, and poured the remaining medicinal powder in with the other, stirring it evenly.

After pouring in the powder, he helped Wei Yan sit properly on the low stool, then tidied Wei Yan’s slightly damp hair, gathering it up and securing it.

“Alright, wash yourself.” Drying his hands, Yu Shuli breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

A hand with distinct knuckles forcefully grabbed his wrist.

“Ji’an, you promised to stay with me.” The man’s slightly lowered eyelids fluttered, his eyes staring straight at him, his voice low and aggrieved: “You don’t keep your word.”

Yu Shuli couldn’t break free, so he could only slowly rub the man’s cool palm with his thumb, “Alright, I won’t leave.”

He lowered his eyes to look at his water-stained clothes, turned sideways, and shook Wei Yan’s wrist, “At least let me take off my outer robe.”

“Why take off your outer robe?” Wei Yan blinked, releasing his hand reluctantly.

“It’s so steamy here, and I’m supposed to be serving the Prime Minister with his bath, right? It wouldn’t be good to get my clothes wet again.”

Wei Yan chuckled very softly: “I thought you were going to bathe with me.”

Yu Shuli met his bright and handsome face, which was misty with water, and bared his teeth: “If I bathed with you, I’d devour you completely!”

“Great.”

Wei Yan’s expression was serious: “I’ve said it before, I couldn’t wish for more.” He leaned closer, the slightly warm breath, along with those unbearable pains, transformed into a light kiss, pressed against Yu Shuli’s cheek, then used a low panting to wrap himself into a cocoon, not letting Yu Shuli see any sign of pain.

The other man’s gaze was scorching and lingering, Yu Shuli was stunned for a moment, his fingers unconsciously caressing the other’s face.

“Ji’an.”

“Mm?”

“Does this medicinal bath have any side effects?”

“……No.”

“When you were talking to those doctors… I heard it.” Wei Yan raised his eyes, meeting Yu Shuli’s gaze, “If I really do… would you despise me for it?”

“No.” Yu Shuli’s heart skipped a beat: “Wei Yan… they didn’t mean it that way…”

“What did they mean?”

Yu Shuli frantically reached out, trying to comfort him: “The doctor said that as long as we properly coordinate the medicinal bath, the medicinal effects will be released… it won’t be a big problem…”

“How to release it?” Wei Yan casually pulled Yu Shuli closer, taking advantage of the situation to stand up from the water.

Before Yu Shuli’s fingers could touch Wei Yan’s face, they were firmly grasped by the man’s hand, and he subconsciously rubbed the other’s palm, not knowing that this action seemed like acquiescence and coquetry in the other’s eyes.

The man pulled slightly harder, directly dragging him into his arms.

The warmth of their wet clothes pressed against each other, and both of their breaths were instantly thrown into disarray.

“Ji’an, I’m in some pain.”

Yu Shuli was stunned, scrambling to get out of his arms: “I’ll find the acupoint chart they left me, and I’ll give you acupuncture right away.”

Wei Yan shook his head, hugging the person in his arms, not letting him get up, and said stubbornly: “Kiss me, and I won’t hurt anymore.”

“What nonsense? What good is a kiss for this?” Although Yu Shuli complained, he was still willing to cooperate with the patient, gently placing a kiss on the corner of his lips. “All you think about all day is doing bad things.”

After the kiss, Wei Yan curved his eyes and smiled contentedly.

Yu Shuli finally managed to break free, only to find that his undergarments were already soaked through.

He glared at Wei Yan: “It’s all your fault!”

Wei Yan blinked innocently: “It’s already wet, why don’t you take it off.” He reached out to unhook Yu Shuli’s undergarment, and Yu Shuli, caught off guard, had his entire shoulder pulled down.

A patch of snow-white skin entered his sight, and a dazzling mole made Wei Yan’s heart itch.

Yu Shuli quickly pulled his clothes up, but the half-wet appearance only had a greater impact on Wei Yan.

He clung to him as if he had no bones in his body: “Ji’an, bathe with me. I promise I won’t say it hurts.”

“You wish!” Yu Shuli looked Wei Yan up and down, gritting his teeth: “You’re like this, and you still have the mind to think about these things. You really have a lewd heart hidden beneath a beautiful face.”

Wei Yan wasn’t angry at being scolded, but his ears turned red, as if he enjoyed being scolded: “Then, how about I take off my undergarment?” He winked at Yu Shuli: “To compensate you.”

Yu Shuli cursed silently, if he didn’t jump him in this state, he wouldn’t be a man!

With a light flip, he sat directly on the man’s lap.

Wei Yan’s eyes showed a moment of shock, and his back suddenly tensed. “You…”

Yu Shuli put his hands in Wei Yan’s hair, holding his face: “Take it off.”

Wei Yan’s breathing suddenly quickened, his eyelashes fluttering: “Are you… sure? I… I might not be able to stop later.”

Yu Shuli nodded lightly, his ears red.

He thought to himself, anyway… the old men also said that the toxicity of Wushisan needs to be dispersed with sex.

He was cooperating… just to help Wei Yan treat his illness!

Wei Yan, who had been given permission, couldn’t wish for more, and immediately leaned over, wrapping his arms directly around his waist to prevent him from retreating.

Yu Shuli pushed him away, holding the man against the edge of the tub. “Behave yourself.”

He took the acupuncture kit from the table next to him, and before he could even look at the acupoint chart, Wei Yan’s slender fingers lifted his chin, turning his entire face around.

Before he could call for a stop, his mouth was completely blocked.

The man lowered his head and kissed his lips without question, the forceful and scorching kiss like the intensely blooming winter plum, the rich and brightly colored alluring fragrance flowing between their lips and teeth.

Yu Shuli had no resistance to Wei Yan’s kiss, letting him conquer and occupy his mouth, even letting him dominate his body.

Feeling the hands on his waist wandering restlessly, Yu Shuli frowned and subconsciously pushed the person away, opening his watery eyes.

Wei Yan hugged him back, his voice low and hoarse: “Be good, don’t open your eyes.”

Yu Shuli was about to close them, but he saw that Wei Yan’s eyes were open the whole time.

Wasn’t his current appearance completely seen by him?!

Yu Shuli only felt a surge of heat in his chest, and finally realized that he was ashamed, wanting to get off Wei Yan’s lap.

Wei Yan put his arm around the back of his neck and pulled him back. “What are you running from? You have no way back.”

“It’s not fair that you don’t close your eyes, but you want me to close mine!” Yu Shuli puffed out his cheeks, like a little goldfish that had eaten too much.

Wei Yan smiled: “Then you watch.”

He no longer insisted on Yu Shuli’s lips, and the kisses gradually fell along his chin, to his collarbone, and then to his neck.

Noticing that Yu Shuli’s body suddenly stiffened, the lines of his neck wet with water droplets, his eyes grew darker and darker, but he still slowly kissed along the lines, through Yu Shuli’s thin undergarment, until that point.

Yu Shuli groaned softly, finally pushing him away as if he couldn’t bear it anymore.

His breathing was rapid, and his eyes were slightly glistening. He didn’t dare to look at Wei Yan, and just said incoherently: “It’s… it’s time for acupuncture… the water’s getting cold.”

But Wei Yan said: “You do your acupuncture, I’ll do my thing, it doesn’t affect each other.”

His clothes were already soaked through, and both of them were inexperienced youths, full of vigor. If they continued to touch, the medicinal bath wouldn’t be finished, and they would accidentally start a fire.

“Anyway, don’t mess around first.” Yu Shuli didn’t dare to be careless, and quickly gave up on paying attention to Wei Yan, pushing him away and opening the acupuncture kit, really applying the needles according to the acupoint chart on his own.

Wei Yan didn’t act coyly, and directly took off his undergarment, showing his body to Yu Shuli, letting him apply the needles, as if he didn’t care about his own life or death.

Yu Shuli was careful and precise when finding the acupoints for the first needle, but as he went on, the needles seemed to “miss” slightly in an uncontrollable way.

This was because someone’s fingers would occasionally brush over his leg, sometimes over his waist, and sometimes over his buttocks. And those lips were even more hateful, falling all over the most sensitive parts of his body, and the various tingling sensations that his senses brought to Yu Shuli made him tremble so much that he could barely hold the needle, collapsing on Wei Yan’s lap.

It was really… distracting.

Fortunately, the positions Yu Shuli applied the needles were not too far off, but even so, he got angry at Wei Yan.

He lifted the person gnawing on him, “You’re really crazy, I’m giving you acupuncture! Any mistake could endanger your life, are you treating this like a child’s play?”

Wei Yan just laughed softly, but his head was still buried in his waist, raising his eyes and saying: “If I could offer this life to the young General, I wouldn’t mind giving it up.”

Yu Shuli gritted his teeth, wishing he could beat Wei Yan up, while cursing his own body for being so useless, actually reacting at this time.

One needle after another, Yu Shuli was sweating profusely, his mind wandering.

Looking down at the man in front of him, although his eyes were red, he revealed a taste of having tasted the sweetness and being well-fed.

On the other hand, he was covered in ambiguous red marks, from the collarbone to unspeakable places.

Yu Shuli cursed angrily in his heart, and naturally didn’t intend to let Wei Yan have it easy.

Finally enduring until the end of the acupuncture, he put down the acupuncture kit and placed his palm on Wei Yan’s chest.

Wei Yan’s body hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, so his skin was naturally fair, and the palm felt smooth and tender, like jade, warm and beautiful.

Yu Shuli couldn’t help but place his hand on the jade, gently stroking and kneading it a few times.

The breathing in front of him suddenly became heavier, and when he looked up, he was facing Wei Yan’s terrifying gaze full of possessiveness.

Yu Shuli shrank back, wanting to escape, but it was already too late.

He was pulled back hard.

The two people’s breaths mingled in the steam, frantically intertwined, the water temperature was gradually decreasing, but the body temperature was rising sharply.

Wei Yan took Yu Shuli’s hand and held it against the edge of the tub, lowering his eyes and asking in a low voice: “The acupuncture is finished, isn’t the young General leaving yet?”

Before Yu Shuli could answer, he heard the man continue: “If you don’t leave, you’ve completely acquiesced.”

Yu Shuli didn’t speak.

“Since that’s the case, then the young General should just endure the rest.”

His alluring lips pressed up, Yu Shuli’s clothes were pulled apart, the candlelight flickered, indicating that it was late at night.

Wei Yan’s movements were a little frantic, supporting himself on the tub with both hands, leaning behind Yu Shuli, not even bothering to consider the other’s emotions, just wanting to melt together.

Yu Shuli was pressed down forcefully, his whole body almost turning into a puddle of water. “You son of a bitch… Wei Yan!”

Wei Yan’s eyes were red, buried in his cheek, dropping one dense kiss after another. The steam fell along the two people’s cheeks, “drip” a sound, falling back into the tub.

People with long arms and legs were folded into the tub, inevitably appearing a bit cramped.

The water patterns flew in the tub, like a wild seascape.

Yu Shuli reached out and scooped a spoonful of hot water from the side, his fingers stroking the surface of the water, which was pinched, and then with a “bang,” the wooden spoon knocked on the edge of the tub, like waves colliding with reefs, emitting a low and grand echo.

“Didn’t you say to coordinate with the medicinal effect? What are you running for?”

Yu Shuli pursed his lips and cursed in a low voice again.

When the surface of the water calmed down, everything finally returned to silence.

“The water’s getting cold.” Someone spoke again, his voice a little hoarse, but strangely magnetic.

“Not cold, I added hot water, it’s very hot.” A hand pulled him back, “If you don’t believe me, turn around and try.”

The two people’s body temperatures intertwined, and their heartbeats were also transmitted to each other through their chests. Perhaps with the medicinal bath, the medicinal properties of Wushisan were finally alleviated, and Wei Yan’s breathing gradually slowed down.

After an unknown amount of time, both of them sighed contentedly.

Yu Shuli’s legs were trembling, gasping for breath, and he pushed the person away forcefully.

He glared at Wei Yan, lifted his leg out of the tub, put on his clothes, and returned to the bed without looking back.

His water-soaked body stained the bedding.

Wei Yan also slowly got up, leisurely looking for two clean undergarments and underwear from the cabinet by the candlelight.

After putting on his own, he brought the clothes to the bedside. “Put them on.”

Yu Shuli turned his head away, ignoring him.

Wei Yan raised an eyebrow: “Shall I help you put them on?”

“Get out!”

“Still angry?” Wei Yan sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his face: “Didn’t you say yourself that you’ll be the one on the bottom from now on?”

Yu Shuli turned around fiercely like a cat whose fur had been ruffled, glaring angrily: “You listen to me so much, so why didn’t you stop when I told you to stop?”

Wei Yan smiled: “These things… can’t be stopped so easily, can they? Don’t you know? I’m addicted to drugs, it’s not that easy to control.” His gaze slowly scanned Yu Shuli from head to toe through the quilt. “Young General… you’re really… irresistible.”

Yu Shuli’s face was flushed by his words, and the memories in the tub kept rolling in his mind.

He covered himself with the quilt, remembering his tearful pleading, only feeling numb from his hands to his tailbone: “Too embarrassing! Wei Yan, don’t even think about touching me again!”

“We’ll talk about the future later, but the young General still has to let me touch you now.” Wei Yan said seriously: “While it hasn’t closed up yet, I’ll apply some medicine for the young General, so it’ll be better tomorrow.”

Yu Shuli’s cheeks, buried in the quilt, were flushed red: “Get out!”
