WMSG Chapter 28

Chapter 28 You Didn’t Enjoy Yourself Again?

Waking up again, the sky was already bright. Ye Yueshen found himself still sleeping on the inside, as if the memory of getting up last night to blow out the candles was just a dream.

He raised his hands and looked at his palms. One palm was clearly redder than the other, and slightly swollen. Gong Xunwu’s face, however, showed no marks.

Ye Yueshen looked at his palm again, and then was drawn to a red spot on his arm. His eyes followed the trail upwards and found several more. Looking at his body, it was mottled and unsightly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but unfortunately couldn’t suppress his annoyance. He couldn’t resist biting Gong Xunwu on the face purely out of revenge. Before he could really sink his teeth in, Gong Xunwu pushed him away.

But a clear tooth mark had already appeared on Gong Xunwu’s face. Gong Xunwu stroked his hair as if comforting him, holding the back of his head close to his shoulder, “It’s not that I won’t let you bite, but you can’t bite my face.”

Ye Yueshen lost interest. He climbed over Gong Xunwu like crossing mountains and rivers, put on his slippers, grabbed his clothes from the soft couch beside him, and ran out naked.

Gong Xunwu’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly got out of bed and chased him back, threw him on the bed and held him down. He rubbed his forehead and said helplessly, “You’re just going to run out like this?”

“I didn’t want to run out.” Ye Yueshen’s tone was calm, but his voice was hoarse, “I wanted to go to the washroom to get dressed. I didn’t want you to ‘admire’.”

“I’ve already seen it all.” Gong Xunwu opened the door and asked for hot water. After returning, he helped Ye Yueshen up, and according to his wishes, wrapped him in a brocade quilt. Then he asked, “What are you shy about now?”

“It’s different.” Ye Yueshen said, “Yesterday, you peeled me off layer by layer, you enjoyed watching. Today, you watch me put them on layer by layer in front of you, aren’t you going to enjoy it again?”

“What’s the difference?” Gong Xunwu took the hot water brought in by Shaou, poured it into a white jade cup, and added half a cup of cold water. He tested the temperature and, finding it suitable, fed it to Ye Yueshen.

He really didn’t think there was any difference. In Gong Xunwu’s eyes, Ye Yueshen was his to pluck and pick at will. Even if Ye Yueshen went to the washroom to get dressed, he could still strip him bare again if he felt like it.

Ye Yueshen didn’t want to drink the water he was feeding him, but there was no need to argue with his throat.

Seeing Ye Yueshen getting angrier and angrier, Gong Xunwu sensibly shut his mouth and helped Ye Yueshen put on his clothes, but he didn’t understand why Ye Yueshen’s expression was even colder.

Leaving behind the words “I’m going out for a walk,” Ye Yueshen walked alone into the morning light where the mist had just cleared. The scenery of the farm was pleasant and suitable, at least that was something to be pleased about.

The woman who greeted them yesterday was writing under thecorridor. Ye Yueshen was embarrassed to see her and turned to walk towards a quiet place.

Walking closer to the pond, he saw someone hidden in the half-person-high wormwood. Ruoya was sitting there in a daze, hugging his knees, with a bracelet with bells hanging from his finger.

He didn’t know Ruoya had also come to the villa. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ruoya knee-walked to the edge of the pond. He seemed to have forgotten that he still had a bracelet on his finger. When he reached out to play with the water, the bracelet fell into the pond, sank to the bottom, and disappeared without a trace.

Ruoya exclaimed with a sob and took off his shoes as if he wanted to jump in.

From Ye Yueshen’s angle, he could still see a little shadow of the bracelet. Because the bracelet wasn’t too heavy, it didn’t sink quickly. Ye Yueshen instinctively walked quickly to the edge of the pond and stretched out his arm to retrieve it.

He forgot that he was tired and weak. Just the action of bending over made him feel top-heavy. With a *plop*, he fell into the pond.

*Oh well*, since his clothes were already soaked, Ye Yueshen simply held his breath and sank to the bottom of the pond to carefully feel around for the bracelet.

Originally, he was a little afraid of opening his eyes, but after feeling around for a while and not finding it, he reluctantly opened them. He adjusted to the sight for a while and quickly saw the glittering silver bracelet in a crack in the rocks. After getting it, he immediately kicked off the bottom and floated to the surface, but he didn’t have much strength left.

Ruoya quickly reached out and grabbed him, pulling him towards the shore with force. There was a lot of moss on the pond wall, with no place to get a grip. After struggling for a long time, Ye Yueshen was finally pulled up by Ruoya.

Both of them were panting heavily. Ye Yueshen’s face was pale, and his hair was stuck to his cheeks. While panting, he weakly raised his hand and showed the bracelet to Ruoya.

Ruoya was beyond moved. Clearly, the bracelet was very important to him. He didn’t take the bracelet but threw himself over and hugged Ye Yueshen.

It was indeed very fulfilling to be able to comfort someone. In the past, when Ye Yueshen was living under someone else’s roof, he always wanted to help and do more, but no matter how much he did, he never received even a word of encouragement in return.

He curved his lips in satisfaction and patted Ruoya on the back, “Don’t cry, it’s been found.”

Noisy footsteps approached, and Shaou shouted, “Your Highness, Gongzi Yue is over here!”

Ruoya was still holding Ye Yueshen tightly and crying loudly. Ye Yueshen couldn’t push him away, so he just patted his back to comfort him.

When Gong Xunwu came over, what he saw was a beautiful man with a weak and pale face, forcibly held in Ruoya’s arms. The beauty was almost suffocating, the beauty was soaking wet, the beauty had just been exhausted and pleasured.

When Ye Yueshen wanted to go out in the morning, he didn’t want Ye Yueshen to think that he was always going against him, so he didn’t say anything.

If it were up to him, of course, he would want to keep him in bed to rest properly. It would be best if he fed him food and water personally, and never let the beauty suffer any extra fatigue.

But now, the beauty looked so vulnerable. The gloom surrounding Gong Xunwu was almost like an ominous dark cloud full of resentment. Even if he persuaded himself to be calm, his actual actions were still very rude as he pulled Ruoya away and gave him a sullen glare.

Ruoya was so scared that his scalp went numb. He muttered an explanation, “My bracelet fell, and Gongzi Yue helped me to retrieve it… no, no… it wasn’t that I asked Gongzi Yue to help me retrieve it, he did it voluntarily…”

Ruoya didn’t dare to speak anymore, watching Gong Xunwu take off his outer robe and wrap it around Ye Yueshen, then pick him up in his arms and leave in a hurry.

Ye Yueshen had simply become a Bodhisattva in his eyes. Even though he didn’t seem to have any strength left, he was still overdrafting his vitality to give him a comforting smile.

Shaou had people prepare hot water, and Ye Yueshen took a bath under Gong Xunwu’s personal care. He sat by the bed, being wiped dry by Gong Xunwu, watching Gong Xunwu choose from the several sets of clothes that had been sent.

There was something unspeakably strange about this scene. Ye Yueshen felt that if Gong Xunwu lived in modern times, he would definitely be addicted to a dress-up game that the girls in their class liked.

Such a cold and indifferent person, even his own clothes are always the same dark colors, would actually like to dress others, such an enthusiastic thing, is really a bit strange.

The set of clothes from this morning was still the one he had taken off at the Qi Wang Manor last time. Gong Xunwu thoughtfully brought it over for him, otherwise Ye Yueshen would have thought it had been thrown away.

But he had only worn it for a while before it got wet again, as if he was destined not to have any fate with it.

Gong Xunwu put a set of goose-yellow clothes on Ye Yueshen, feeling that the color finally made Ye Yueshen’s face look more lively.

He also helped Ye Yueshen put back on the jade pendant that he had given away. He had seen this jade pendant being carried with him when he stripped him of his clothes last night, and he felt very comforted.

In fact, Ye Yueshen was just afraid that if he left it in the room, it would be discovered by the people who came in to clean up and they would tell Junzhu.

“I had someone cook ginger soup.” Gong Xunwu also put a long string of round pearls around Ye Yueshen’s slender neck. The pearl string was very long, hanging down to Ye Yueshen’s chest.

Ye Yueshen refused, “No need, I want to go home.” They had already slept together, there was no reason to not let him leave after eating what was in his mouth.

Gong Xunwu didn’t answer him immediately. He ordered Shaou to find a slightly shorter necklace. Shaou quickly found it and sent it over. At this time, Ye Yueshen was frustrated because his words had not been granted.

Gong Xunwu, with a lack of sensitivity, layered this pearl necklace on top as well. This time, it looked much more fitting.

Pearls are generally worn by women. Men’s accessories, in addition to jade pendants, are jade jue and jade jue. It seems that besides jade, only embroidered sachets are not out of place to wear. In childhood, you can also wear a neck ring and longevity lock.

But Ye Yueshen didn’t look out of place wearing pearls either. Gong Xunwu felt that this exquisite face deserved all expensive embellishments.

Ye Yueshen was now in dire need of solitude to distance himself from his chaotic spiritual world. His attitude softened a little, and he looked at Gong Xunwu, “Can you let me go home? I really want to go home.”

Gong Xunwu paused for a moment. Even if Ye Yueshen had just said “Can you help me pick the moon?”, Gong Xunwu would only nod and agree, and then go through fire and water without hesitation.

When Ye Yueshen was sent home, he felt like half of his life had been consumed. Xue Dong had sent him to the entrance of the Qi Wang Manor yesterday. Gong Xunwu had taken Ye Yueshen away alone, leaving the servants of the Qi Wang Manor behind. The servant told him to wait at home, and they would send his son back safely. He could only obey and go home. There was no other choice.

He couldn’t possibly disobey Qi Wang, right? That would be no different from starting a rebellion. At that time, not to mention not being able to get Ye Yueshen back, the entire Ye family would have to be thrown in.

Xue Dong came forward and asked hesitantly, “Third Master, why is your face so pale?”

“I got up too early, it’s nothing.” Ye Yueshen perfunctorily replied, “Is Mother at home? What about my brothers?”

“The eldest master is on duty today, the second master went to a banquet and just left. Junzhu is at home, and she should have already had breakfast.” Xue Dong took out a letter and gave it to Ye Yueshen, “Third Master, this is a letter sent from You Su Fang. There’s no envelope, it’s just folded like this. Please take a look at what this means.”

Ye Yueshen opened the paper. The smooth brushstrokes and beautiful handwriting wrote the character “four”.

This was considered a password to Ye Yueshen. Ye Yueshen put away the letter and asked for honey water and candied ginger slices. He needed to replenish some energy now and prevent catching a cold and fever. He had overexerted himself and then been rinsed in the cold pond.

Resting for a day didn’t improve things much. Instead, he had some signs of a cold. The next morning, after hesitating for a while, he still got out of bed to wash up and asked for a carriage to go to You Su Fang to see the Fourth Prince.
