Chapter 54
Lu Ze squatted in front of him, his gaze sweeping lightly over his left earlobe, looking at the almost imperceptible small crimson mole, the smile in his eyes growing thicker.
This was a ger’s mole, which symbolized a ger’s identity, and the brightness of its color also showed a ger’s fertility.
Wei Yan was not liked by the men of the capital. His maverick personality and experience were one aspect, and the other was that his ger’s mole was too faint, so faint that it was almost invisible. This was also the reason why his identity had been hidden so well for so many years.
Lu Ze didn’t care about these things. He just looked at him, imprinting his face into his heart bit by bit.
Wei Yan was not ugly. In fact, his features were delicate and his contours were distinct, with strong and prominent features. And because of his long experience on the battlefield, his eyes had a bit of a strong and tough aura, which was completely different from the currently popular image of a gentle and delicate ger. On the contrary, he had a bit of a “not to be trifled with” feeling.
Most importantly…
Lu Ze’s gaze fell on the scar that extended from the end of his eyebrow to the corner of his forehead, and his gaze deepened slightly.
Wei Yan sensed his gaze and subconsciously turned his face sideways, but unexpectedly, Lu Ze suddenly raised his hand and gently touched the scar with his thumb, as if he were afraid of hurting him, and he didn’t dare to use any force.
Wei Yan was stunned for a moment. He looked down and happened to meet Lu Ze’s gentle and soft gaze. He didn’t say anything, but just stood up, placed the jade ruyi and the veil on the side, turned to the square table, picked up the wine pot, and poured some wine into the two nuptial jade cups. His long and slender white fingers held the two wine cups and walked in front of Wei Yan.
“Nuptial wine,” he said slowly, a smile in his eyes.
The dragon and phoenix candles were still crackling. Wei Yan had not thought that he would be nervous, but at this moment, with the candlelight flickering, his heart couldn’t help but tighten.
He raised his hand and took the white jade cup, intertwined his arm with his, and felt his breath and heat at close range. His face was unchanged, but his ears couldn’t help but turn a little red.
He tilted his head back and drank the cup of wine in one gulp. Wei Yan still felt a little unsatisfied, and his throat was inexplicably a little dry.
After placing the nuptial wine cup on the side, Lu Ze looked at his tied-up long hair and said considerately, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first? Or do you want to wash up first?”
Although a ger’s wedding was not as grand as a woman’s, with a phoenix crown and a red cape, it was still a dress-up. His hair was carefully tied up, not a single strand was out of place, and the jade hairpin was also carefully selected, carved with a dragon and phoenix pattern, which was festive and auspicious.
Wei Yan had eaten something before, so he was not hungry at this moment. He coughed lightly and said, “I’ll go and wash up first.”
Next to the main room was the bathroom, and the maids had already prepared the water. Wei Yan was a little absent-minded, thinking about what was going to happen later. It wasn’t until the water was slightly cool that he came back to his senses, put on the red nightgown that was prepared on the side, and stepped out of the bathtub.
When he entered the main room, the red candles were warm. Hearing the noise on the side, Wei Yan looked up and saw Lu Ze wearing the same red nightgown, his black hair hanging down to his waist, and the collar slightly loose, revealing a small part of his chest. The red and black complemented each other, making his skin as fair and smooth as jade, and his features as clear and handsome as a person in a landscape painting. And because of the bright red, it made him a little less out of reach and a little more worldly.
Perhaps because he had just finished his bath, his eyes still had a hint of moisture. Coupled with his slightly curved peach blossom eyes, in this scene, he was even more graceful and affectionate.
Wei Yan sat down by the bed a little uncomfortably. Lu Ze went to the side and poured a cup of tea, and brought it to him, and asked in a gentle voice, “Would you like a cup of water?”
Wei Yan did not refuse. He also felt that his lips were a little dry, so he raised his hand and took it, and drank it slowly in small sips.
Lu Ze watched him from the side, his eyes filled with a hazy red halo, which was faintly and suddenly not very clear.
After a cup of water, Wei Yan’s eyelids lifted slightly. He looked at him, but his heart was beating more and more erratically.
He saw him slowly move closer, his thick eyelashes slightly lowered, and seemed to land on his lips, and then slowly lifted, meeting his gaze.
“There’s something on your mouth.”
He heard him say, “What?”
With a “thump,” the teacup fell to the ground and rolled a few times, and disobediently hid under the bed.
Wei Yan looked at his face, which was close at hand, and felt the warmth and softness on his lips, and his breathing couldn’t help but hitch.
His hand, which was hanging on the bed, slowly gripped the brocade quilt.
He felt him moving, holding his lips, bit by bit, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
A tingling and itchy sensation spread across his back. Wei Yan’s eyes widened, not knowing how to react.
Lu Ze’s hand covered his face, and he pressed him down on the bed, his slightly hoarse voice sounding in his ear, “Breathe.”
Wei Yan’s nose twitched, and he felt a soft touch on his lips again, and heard Lu Ze say, “Open your mouth.”
He opened his mouth a crack.
.
It was early spring, and the nightgown was thin. It was completely messy without a trace, just like Wei Yan’s mood at this moment.
He looked at the bright red bed curtains, felt Lu Ze’s movements, his brows tightly furrowed, and his expression was a little strange.
Lu Ze was very patient and gentle, but…
Why was he so skilled?
Thinking of the results of his previous investigation, Wei Yan’s brows couldn’t help but furrow, and his face was not very good.
Lu Ze sensed his relaxation and was about to go all out when a foot suddenly rested on his shoulder. He looked down in surprise and saw Wei Yan half-closing his eyes, his breathing still a little unsteady as he looked at him. After a moment, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Before me, how many people have you had?”
“What?” Lu Ze’s forehead was covered with sweat, and he didn’t react for a moment.
Wei Yan’s foot slowly moved down, and his expression gradually became a little dangerous. “I said, before me, how many people have you had?”
He used some force. “Women? Gers? How many have you had?”
There was a moment of silence in the air. Lu Ze looked down at him for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed him, and pulled him with a force, his voice muffled, “None.”
Wei Yan was caught off guard for a moment, but he was already controlled by Lu Ze. He seemed a little annoyed. “Besides you, there’s no one else.”
Wei Yan’s body stiffened for a moment, and he turned his head away. “I’ll give you a chance. If you’ve had someone, then you’ve had someone. I won’t hold it against you. But don’t you dare lie to me. If any messy women or gers come to our door in the future, I will definitely not spare you…”
Lu Ze was about to laugh out of anger. “You can go and investigate as you please, Marquis. If you can find anyone, I will let you dispose of me as you please. Now,” his movements paused, his bangs covering his eyes, and in the dim light, his gaze was a little dangerous, “please be a little more focused, Marquis.”
The warm bed curtains swayed and then slowly slid down.
.
After an unknown amount of time, a hand finally stretched out from inside the bed curtains, and then the curtains were lifted. Lu Ze got out of bed, poured a cup of water, and handed it over. “Have some water.”
Wei Yan was leaning against the head of the bed. He glanced at him without speaking and just took the teacup and drank it all. He then raised his head at him, his throat a little hoarse. “More.”
Lu Ze went to get the teapot again. Seeing that he had drunk three cups before he was satisfied, his eyes were filled with a satisfied smile. He turned around and put the teapot and teacup back in their original place.
When he turned back, he saw Wei Yan leaning lazily against the pillows, stroking his lower abdomen on and off, and thinking about something in a daze.
Lu Ze’s eyes deepened, and he asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Wei Yan said, “I was thinking… right now, will there already be a child here…” After all, he had eaten everything he could… and what he couldn’t eat…
Lu Ze’s eyes suddenly darkened. He looked at Wei Yan and, after a moment, slowly opened his mouth, “The probability of a ger getting pregnant for the first time is not high.”
Wei Yan looked back, and he heard him say, “But I heard… there’s a way… to increase… the probability.”
Wei Yan’s gaze moved. “Really?”
Lu Ze let out a light laugh. “I also heard it from someone… whether it’s true or not, why don’t you try it and see, Marquis?”
Wei Yan met his gentle and deep gaze and couldn’t help but be a little tempted. He slowly straightened his back…
The bed curtains were put down again.
.
The moon quietly hid behind the clouds, and the maids and servants who were guarding outside couldn’t help but yawn. They finally waited until the sound of calling for water came from inside, and they quickly perked up and brought the water that had been prepared early in the morning.
The bathtub was spacious and comfortable, and it was no problem to accommodate two people.
Although Wei Yan’s constitution was good, he couldn’t stand it at this moment. The hot water enveloped his whole body, which relieved his fatigue.
He leaned against the edge of the tub and closed his eyes to relax. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Lu Ze on the side, his expression lazy, one hand on the side of the tub, the ends of his hair wet, and a few strands were sticking to his fair and white chest. The hot steam from the water made his face even more devilishly beautiful and alluring.
Wei Yan looked at him for a moment, and his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but slide up and down.
The sound of the water swayed slightly. He raised his hand and slowly climbed onto his shoulder…
The other tub of water was finally of use.
