Chapter 156 (2/2)

Yu Hanjiang hurriedly got out of bed. He went outside the house to stand in the cold wind and calm his reaction.

This dream was actually incomplete and the memory of the wedding night was also blurred. The clearest thing was Xiao Lou hugging his shoulders and staring at him with eyes like water. Those eyes were so clear that they could almost see into his heart.

This dream connected the time they met to when they fell in love and married. The entire process became complete.

Since Xiao Lou’s father was a coroner, he solved a large number of unsolved cases and offended too many people. Xiao Lou followed his mother to take refuge in Jiangzhou and concealed her ident.i.ty by pretending to be a woman. Then he was accidentally rescued by Yu Hanjiang and Yu Hanjiang fell in love with him at first sight. He didn’t care if Xiao Lou was a man or woman. Under the agreement of Xiao Lou’s mother, Xiao Lou dressed as a woman to marry Yu Hanjiang and became Madam Yu. No one came to make trouble for him.

The two people had been close for four years and had no children because Xiao Lou was essentially a man. The secret room didn’t allow Xiao Lou to change back to men’s clothes because once Xiao Lou did so, he would raise suspicion in his enemies and it might even lead to murder.

After clarifying the setting, Yu Hanjiang became more upset.

He hadn’t been in love before and he didn’t even have a friend who he could talk to. He always thought he wanted to be close to Xiao Lou as a friend but recent abnormal reactions left him very confused. He never thought that he and Xiao Lou could still do such intimate things. Under the premise that Xiao Lou was a man, he actually took possession of Xiao Lou on their wedding night…

The fuzzy fragments in the dream made Yu Hanjiang’s heart beat like a drum. No, he couldn’t think about it anymore!

He took a deep breath and went to the well, grabbing a bucket of water and directly splas.h.i.+ng it on his face.

The autumn well water was bitter and cold. Yu Hanjiang was frozen and this allowed him to calm down completely. The moonlight from the sky was spa.r.s.e, the yard was quiet to the extrema and there was only the occasional sound from cicadas.

The night in ancient times wasn’t as bright and lively as modern times. In this quiet and peaceful place, Yu Hanjiang’s heartbeat seemed particularly clear.

Thump, thump thump….

He did that type of thing to Xiao Lou. Even if it was a dream, it couldn’t be ignored. Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists and frowned. Did he like being on top of Xiao Lou?

Before he knew it, he moved his heart around the gentle Professor Xiao. He liked to hold Xiao Lou’s hand and couldn’t help caring about Xiao Lou. His eyes were always on Xiao Lou’s body.

In this secret room, he wasn’t disgusted at all by playing a husband and wife. Rather, he happily called Xiao Lou ‘madam.’ Imagine if he was asked to play a couple with Shao Qingge, Ye Qi, Long Sen, Old Mo or other teammates like Qu Wanyue and Liu Qiao. He would be very awkward and want to stay three metres away from the other person. Yet it was particularly smooth when he called Xiao Lou.

Once he dreamed of the candle-lit night in the marriage room, his heartbeat accelerated rather than feeling nausea. It didn’t make sense at all if this was just a friend. All of this could only be explained by ‘like.’

Yu Hanjiang’s heart suddenly opened. He finally figured out the reason for his recent changes.

Brother Jiu once said he was too indifferent. The expression of ‘don’t get close if you want to live’ meant he had the personality of someone who would be single until 60 years old. Yet when facing Xiao Lou, his hard heart seemed to be immersed in a warm current and the coldest place deep in his heart was bathed in warm sunlight.

Yu Hanjiang opened the Absolute Field card and ended the s.p.a.ce of Brother Jiu.

The s.p.a.ce this time was no longer the sea but the lotus pond under the moonlight. Lu Jiuchuan was sitting beside the lotus pond, drinking and admiring the moon. After seeing Yu Hanjiang, he smiled slightly and asked, “Suddenly entering the Absolute Field to find me, are you in trouble in a secret room? With your strength, you shouldn’t have difficulty in an A-grade Hearts room, right?”

Yu Hanjiang walked over to sit in front of him and whispered, “Brother Jiu, in the secret room, did you also experience role-playing? For example, a gender change between male and female?”

Lu Jiuchuan laughed. “Our team entered a palace script. I played the general, Old Gui played the emperor and we worked together to deal with the power of the crown prince and imperial consort to seize the throne. The A-grade secret room is a script that is randomly generated according to the ident.i.ty of each person. This is why Tang Ci said he couldn’t provide you with an attack guide.”

Yu Hanjiang, “……”

It seemed that Brother Jiu originally cleared 8 of Hearts in a dangerous manner.

Lu Jiuchuan asked, “What about you? What role were you a.s.signed to?”

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment before replying, “I am the prefectural magistrate of Jiangzhou. In addition, a wife was arranged for me.”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled playfully. “That’s good. You have been single for so many years and this time, you picked up a wife in a secret room.”

“The wife is Xiao Lou.”

Lu Jiuchuan sprayed out his wine. “What?”

Yu Hanjiang was a bit embarra.s.sed and coughed lightly. Then he explained while touching his nose, “My wife is Xiao Lou, a man pretending to be a woman. I’ve discovered that I seem to… like him.”

Lu Jiuchuan looked at his brother like this person was an idiot. “You only just found out?”

Yu Hanjiang wondered, “What do you mean?”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled. “As early as when you took him into the Absolute Field, I found that something was wrong. You are like a hard stone frozen in the refrigerator for several years yet looking at Xiao Lou, your eyes were so gentle that I got gooseb.u.mps. Since when have you started looking at others with this expression? I have never seen you look at anyone in your family like that since childhood. Xiao Lou is the first one.”

Yu Hanjiang, “…”

It turned out that Brother Jiu was already aware. No wonder why he told Xiao Lou to call him Brother Jiu at that time.

Lu Jiuchuan lightly patted his brother’s shoulder. “In the secret room world, no one knows how long they can live. You are actually really lucky to meet someone you like here. Don’t think about it too much and cherish the moment.”

Yu Hanjiang listened to Brother Jiu’s words and the confusion in his heart was finally swept away.

Like was like. What was the point of being tangled up by it? It was just like in the plot when he found out that Xiao Lou was a man and still decided to marry Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou was Xiao Lou. He liked this person, regardless of whether the other person was male or female. Xiao Lou in female clothing was a beauty and Xiao Lou in male clothing was also extraordinary. No matter how the clothes changed, the soul hadn’t changed.

Thinking up to here, Yu Hanjiang couldn’t help smiling. “I know what to do. I’ll go back to him.”

Lu Jiuchuan waved his hand. “Go, I’m heading back to the Hunter’s League in two days. It will be inconvenient to meet you for the time being so don’t come to the Absolute Field for a few days.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded. “I understand. Brother Jiu, take care.”
