After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine Chapter 61
Huo Wujiu thought that he had always been a character who disliked owing others. This Jingwang took the liberty of liking him and sacrificed so much for him, making him unable to bear deceiving him. He even wanted to entrust all his unsavory background to him.
Not just because Huo Wujiu trusted him, but more because he didn't want to hide it from him.
This "not wanting to hide from him" thought had been poking around in Huo Wujiu's heart since yesterday when Jiang Suizhou told him that he would let the doctor treat his legs.
It was a spark of fire that flared up in Huo Wujiu's heart, scorching his heart to a frightening degree.
He had hidden that tongue of flame in the depths of his heart, and at this time, only a pair of extremely well-disguised black eyes quietly looked at Jiang Suizhou.
When there was no longer a third person in the room, Jiang Suizhou deliberated before speaking.
"You have heard the doctor's diagnosis today," he said indifferently.
Huo Wujiu responded with a hum.
He paused and was about to speak, but heard Jiang Suizhou continue.
"Although he can't cure you, it's more or less a two-way street of hope," he said, "Anyway, since acupuncture and moxibustion are required, this Prince thought it would be more convenient for you to live in another place."
A gust of wind seemed to blow by, puffing the tongue of flame burning in Huo Wujiu's heart into a flicker.
He faltered and again answered with a hum.
"Indeed," he said.
Jiang Suizhou nodded his head.
"This Prince has asked Meng Qianshan to arrange a room for you in the courtyard, so you can just stay there and get well at ease. When this Prince told the doctor to heal you at will, it was nothing more than covering up the scene. If he really dares not to do his best, you just tell Meng Qianshan," he said.
Oh, he would still live in his courtyard, ah.
The fleeting gust of wind dissipated without a trace.
Huo Wujiu looked indifferent and said, "En."
Jiang Suizhou assessed his expression and tentatively opened his mouth next.
"I never told you before why I moved you to Anyin Hall, right?" he said.
Jiang Suizhou knew that it was most appropriate to say these words at this time.
Had he told Huo Wujiu from day one that he wanted to treat him kindly, Huo Wujiu wouldn't have believed him, and instead became more wary of him. If he also didn't say it now, they'd be meeting less afterward and have no way to talk about it. It'd be painstaking to talk to him next time.
At this moment, telling Huo Wujiu that he wanted to help him and cooperate with him was the most appropriate opportunity. After all, his recent circumstances and good deeds were all visible to Huo Wujiu.
But then he faltered when he saw Huo Wujiu's unpleasant expression, which looked as if he had beat someone up.
After a moment, he raised his eyes to him with his brow furrowed and softly said, "No."
Jiang Suizhou was about to speak when he heard Huo Wujiu then say, "...Don't say anything."
How can this work! Jiang Suizhou was anxious.
I must tell you clearly, ah! If I don't, how can you know my good intentions? How can you see how I swallowed humiliation? How can you be grateful to me, ah?!
He hurriedly said, "I have to say it. Since things have reached this point, I think you've understood a thing or two of what I want to do."
Huo Wujiu's brow furrowed even deeper.
What exactly did this Jing Wang want to do?
Is he going to use today to express his feelings to me?
For some reason, Huo Wujiu felt a little flustered and couldn't even think of a countermeasure for a while. But strangely enough, that spark of fire that he hid blazed even hotter, as if oil was poured on it.
This made Huo Wujiu's heart beat faster.
How could this Jingwang be so stupid? Wasn't he afraid of being rejected and losing face? This in turn made Huo Wujiu's heart soft. He even felt that, no matter what he said, he couldn't say no...
But then, he heard Jingwang speak.
"My royal brother humiliated you and wanted to use the method of raising Gu to make me fight you. Naturally, I don't want to give him what he wants."
That clear and fresh voice sounded like a mountain spring, cool, calm and gentle.
"I moved you to the Prince's courtyard to protect your integrity. Although I am a man of the Southern Jing, I am regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by my royal brother, and he wishes he could get rid of me right away. Although I can drag out my ignoble existence here, I also know that I will be killed sooner or later.”
"As far as I am concerned, wiping out the Jing Dynasty is my way out. General Huo, these days, I think you've seen that I'm different from them. I have no intention of killing or humiliating you, but want to cooperate with you."
That cool and refreshing voice akin to a mountain stream flowed into Huo Wujiu's heart.
For a moment he only felt empty in his heart.
He only heard Jingwang slowly say, "I can keep you safe for the time being, and I can help you heal your legs in the future. All I'm asking for is a way to survive, nothing more."
"Zzz," came a sound.
The spring water suddenly dripped over Huo Wujiu's limbs and bones, gently flowed through his heart, and then suddenly extinguished that raging fire.
Huo Wujiu's voice sounded a bit muffled.
"...Nothing else?" he asked.
The next thing he knew, he met a puzzled pair of clean and unadulterated eyes.
"Nothing else, ah."
The author has something to say.
Jiang Suizhou: What's that sound?
Huo Wujiu [expressionless]: The sound of a young man's heart breaking.
