Chapter 20 – Tyrant VS National Teacher (20)
In Mo Yi’s heart, he had long been convinced that Mu Jin was a celestial being who had descended to the mortal realm. Worried that being too direct might lead Mu Jin to refuse to leave, Mo Yi believed it would be extremely difficult to find him if he left.
So, he decided to make use of Mu Jin’s concern for him. While obtaining more benefits, he also attempted to make Mu Jin accustomed to his closeness, even hoping that Mu Jin would gradually fall in love with him.
Whether he was considered despicable or shameless, Mo Yi had already understood in his heart that after this person illuminated his dark life like a beam of light, he could no longer let him go.
However, someone like Mu Jin was too dazzling. Mo Yi didn’t expect General Dai to come looking for Mu Jin as soon as he returned, and thinking about this, jealousy surged in Mo Yi’s heart.
When he left before, seeing Mu Jin and General Dai being close made Mo Yi very uncomfortable.
However, over the years, General Dai had been loyal to him and was a talented military strategist. The two had a good relationship in the army.
But once things involved Mu Jin, Mo Yi suddenly regretted. If he had known, he would have preferred this person to die on the battlefield so that Mu Jin’s gaze wouldn’t fall on another person.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Mo Yi’s eyes. He knew he was not a kind person, especially after the death of the empress grandmother. All his tenderness had been given to the person in his arms. Regarding the life and death of others, he didn’t care.
Not daring to let Mu Jin know about his coldness, Mo Yi hugged him with more strength. Feeling the response from his beloved, the man’s gaze finally softened. Taking a deep breath, he completely focused his mind on the person in his arms.
Being kissed by his beloved in this way, Mu Jin had long lost all strength. He didn’t even know when the two of them had stopped; he just felt that he could finally breathe the air after a long time.
Even without looking in the mirror, Mu Jin knew his lips must be swollen. Every slight movement caused a stinging sensation, and even his tongue felt a bit numb.
With a red nose, Mu Jin looked at Mo Yi pitifully. Unbeknownst to him, when Mo Yi saw his watery eyes, he almost couldn’t resist kissing him again.
Mo Yi hugged Mu Jin, gently avoiding certain areas, not wanting Mu Jin to notice his changes.
Step by step, Mo Yi gradually made progress. In the years of guarding the border, he learned how to make the other person fall into his trap.
“Yi Er, are you feeling better?” Despite holding the upper hand, Mu Jin couldn’t help but ask Mo Yi.
Mo Yi smiled gently at him, lowered his head to nuzzle his nose, and whispered, “I’m already better, these three years have never been so good.”
Although Mu Jin knew he was talking about suppressing the blood curse, the words sounded like a confession in his ears. He buried his head deeply in the man’s chest, not wanting to look at this person who disturbed his heart.
But he couldn’t help but secretly despise himself. Clearly, the other person had just come of age, while he had lived for tens of millions of years. Having never eaten pork, he had seen plenty of pigs running, yet he was charmed by a little brat.
The two embraced each other for a while, and Mo Yi quietly left. After all, he had just returned to the capital and needed to deal with some matters.
When they were exchanging letters before, Mu Jin had already explained his actions to Mo Yi. Now, the people of the Marquis Anping’s residence believed that although Mu Jin didn’t show much support openly, he was secretly supporting the Fifth Prince.
Over the years, Mu Jin had won the trust of Marquis Anping’s faction by providing them with various small favors. Now, he not only knew many secrets but could also deploy some of their personnel.
Naturally, everything he did was to pave the way for Mo Yi and facilitate their future actions. So, he and Mo Yi had agreed not to interact openly but only meet privately.
Mo Yi had left for a long time, but Mu Jin still lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a flushed face. He stretched out his arm to cover his eyes, repeatedly savoring the kisses from earlier.
He knew Yi Er must have some feelings for him, but the extent of those feelings remained uncertain. Originally planning to take things step by step, it seemed that he was the one who had fallen under the other’s strong medicine.
Patting his heated cheeks, Mu Jin took a deep breath. Thinking again about Mo Yi’s actions, his eyes became even more profound.
He had wanted to restrain himself, afraid of frightening the other person. However, every time he saw Mo Yi’s growth, Mu Jin found it increasingly difficult to control his own heart.
He never expected Jing’er to be so forward. Could he boldly hope to possess the other person, even if it was just in this world? Even if it was just for this lifetime?
“Yi Er…” Mu Jin murmured the person’s name, and his fair fingers tightened the quilt beneath him.
Slowly exhaling a sigh, he felt a sense of bitterness in his heart: “Doing this, you will truly make it impossible for me to let go of you.”
On the other side, Mo Yi turned and returned to the prepared Prince Jing’s mansion. He had a lot of things to handle and stayed busy until evening, finally getting some free time.
Putting down the information brought by the attendants, the man stood up. Just as he was considering whether to secretly go find his brother Jin, he heard some commotion outside the room.
A crack opened in the window, and then a figure leaped in. If it wasn’t Mu Jin, who else could it be?
Seeing his beloved, Mo Yi couldn’t conceal the joy on his face. Seeing Mu Jin entering through the window reminded him of when they first met. Mu Jin had sneaked into the palace, climbing through the window to find him.
Still remembering that day, he tasted the sweetness of being cared for and cherished for the first time. The sweet taste of milk cake lingered on his tongue.
Seeing Mu Jin’s smiling face, Mo Yi quickly walked over and embraced him, softly saying, “I was just thinking about you, and unexpectedly, Brother Jin is here in front of me.”
Hearing this, Mu Jin blushed for a moment, feeling that his little one had grown up, and his mouth was as sweet as honey, making people feel warm in their hearts.
Enveloped by the breath of his beloved, Mu Jin couldn’t help taking a deep breath. He closed his eyes, comfortably leaning against Mo Yi, and whispered, “Yi Er, I missed you.”
The straightforward words made Mo Yi’s heart tremble, and he tightened his arms even more. Lowering his head, he kissed Mu Jin on the forehead and rubbed against his upturned nose.
Seeing his brother Jin showing no signs of refusal, Mo Yi’s gaze inevitably drifted towards those rosy lips.
Feeling the deep gaze of the man in front of him, Mu Jin felt his throat tighten. Suppressing his own heartbeat, his arm directly climbed onto Mo Yi’s shoulder, and with a slightly ambiguous look, he asked, “Yi Er, is there anything uncomfortable in your body?”
Mo Yi was momentarily stunned by the words, looking at the trembling appearance of the person in his arms. He couldn’t help but feel a hitch in his breath, feeling the ecstatic joy in his heart that he could no longer conceal.
He was never a foolish person. With Mu Jin in this posture, there was no need for more words. The man naturally understood that this was an invitation from his beloved.
Thinking that he still needed to wait and compromise for a long time, Mo Yi didn’t expect that his brother Jin would have such feelings for him.
Nodding eagerly, Mo Yi swallowed saliva, unable to bear it, and said, “Actually, it still hurts a bit, Brother Jin…”
The rest of the words disappeared between their lips, and the two embraced each other tightly. They forgot themselves in passionate kisses, unwilling to part from each other.
That night, Mu Jin stayed in Prince Jing’s mansion. Mo Yi didn’t like being disturbed, and there were no attendants by his side, and guards were only outside the courtyard. So, no one knew that their royal prince’s room had an extra person.
Due to the emperor’s concern for these generals who had returned from the border, he allowed them to rest for a few days.
As for Mu Jin, although he was a national teacher, in Xi Ling, the national teacher didn’t need to attend court daily. He only needed to pray and stargaze, and when there were special events, he would enter the palace for an audience.
So, by the second day, neither of them had to get up early. When Mo Yi woke up and felt the warm body beside him, he couldn’t help but feel satisfied.
Tightening his own arm, he lowered his head to kiss the person in his arms, but found that the other person had actually shrunk his whole body under the quilt, covering his head tightly.
Seeing Mu Jin like this, Mo Yi couldn’t help but smile. He tried to lift the quilt, but found that the other party held onto it even tighter.
It seemed like he was awake.
A flash of laughter appeared in the man’s eyes. He leaned over and laughed softly at the person under the quilt, “Brother Jin, why are you pulling it so tightly? Aren’t you afraid of suffocating yourself?”
Hearing this, Mu Jin felt even more embarrassed. Thinking about last night, although the two hadn’t gone all the way, this kid had taken advantage of suppressing the blood curse to toss him around thoroughly. He felt extremely embarrassed, so he was even more reluctant to lift the quilt.
Mo Yi knew that Mu Jin felt shy, so he could only coax him softly, “Alright, last night was all for suppressing the blood curse, right? Could it be that Brother Jin is willing to see me suffer?”
Hearing Mo Yi’s words, Mu Jin reluctantly opened a gap in the quilt. Revealing a pair of round cat-like pupils, he stared at Mo Yi and whispered back, “But suppressing the blood curse doesn’t require that, right?”
“What?” The smile in Mo Yi’s eyes grew more intense. He couldn’t help but feel fortunate that he had specially asked his subordinates to buy a lot of books before returning to the capital, and he had carefully studied them.
Seeing the wonderful reactions of his beloved last night, it seemed that his reading hadn’t been in vain. More importantly, he could feel that Mu Jin genuinely liked him, which was why he allowed him to do those things.
