Chapter 342: Just Being Your Own Gigolo
As the night deepened, the lantern flickered, reflecting Yuan Wanru's slightly tipsy eyes.
"Tell me more."
She tugged at Lu Jiangnian's sleeve, her voice slightly drunken and soft, "When you first went to the military camp, were you used to it?"
Lu Jiang smiled young, held her in his arms, and told her the story of that time.
His voice was deep and filled with distant memories. "At that time, I had just arrived in the North. I was wearing a brocade robe and jade belt. Even my armor was newly forged silver scale armor, which was dazzling."
Yuan Wanru imagined that scene and couldn't help laughing: "Wouldn't that be like a rich young man going on a trip?"
Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and pinched her nose: "Isn't it? Those old soldiers were all shocked and whispered behind my back, saying that I was just a useless person who came here to get by."
"I was scared away pretty quickly."
Yuan Wanru laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and found a comfortable position in his arms: "Do they dare to say it in front of you?"
Lu Jiangnian's eyes dimmed, but a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "Why not? There was a captain named Zhao Dahu who patted my shoulder in front of the whole army and said..."
He deliberately lowered his voice and imitated it perfectly: "'Young master, swords have no mercy on the battlefield. You are so delicate and tender, don't be scared and cry!'"
Yuan Wanru smiled and leaned on his shoulder: "And then? You must have made him regret it."
Lu Jiangnian sneered: "The one who knows me best is my wife."
"I dislocated his shoulder blade right there and then."
Lu Jiangnian fed her a glass of wine, and her eyes widened: "You really are not a good person."
"I grabbed him by the collar and threw him on the parade ground. In front of the whole army, I asked him..."
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharp as a knife, "Who on earth would be so scared that he would cry?"
Yuan Wanru clapped her hands and said happily: "Lu Jiangnian! It's you, so cruel."
He chuckled, and rubbed the corner of her lips with his fingertips: "Cruel? That's just the beginning."
"What happened next?" She leaned closer curiously.
"What happened next?" A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. "That group of people were not convinced and thought I had only succeeded by a sneak attack. So, I asked them to come up one by one and fight in turns."
Yuan Wanru held her breath: "You... won all the fights?"
Lu Jiangnian raised his lips slightly and said, "Out of ten people, I broke seven swords and five guns. In the end, I was the only one standing in the middle of the training ground."
Yuan Wanru stared at him in a daze. Under the moonlight, his outline was as sharp as a knife. How could he look like a "pretty boy" at all?
Lu Jiangnian smiled at her wantonly and ostentatiously: "Do you think your husband is amazing?"
Yuan Wanru's heart trembled, and she suddenly felt even more drunk.
She looked at him, her cheeks flushed, and struggled to stand out from his arms.
"Let's drink a glass with you, toast to the young hero Lu Jiangnian."
She tugged at Lu Jiangnian's sleeve, her voice sounding a little drunken and innocent.
Lu Jiangnian laughed softly, "Okay, let's have a drink with my wife."
The two men clinked their glasses and drank up the wine.
"You beat up so many people, do they hate you behind your back?"
"You underestimated them. They were convinced by me and no one held a grudge against me."
“People at the border are often very simple.”
He picked up the wine jug and poured her half a cup, but Yuan Wanru took the opportunity to snatch the whole jug.
"However, I asked Zhao Dahu to clean my armor for me every morning for three months."
Yuan Wanru burst out laughing, and the wine splashed on the hem of her skirt, leaving deep and shallow marks.
"Small-minded, it's really not easy to offend you."
Lu Jiangnian stared at her face as she smiled with tears in her eyes, and suddenly remembered the snowy night at the border that year. He thought his heart would be as cold and hard as the night at the border.
I didn't find her, but I met her. My heart was filled with sorrow and my mind was haunted. I was thinking about her all the time, just for one person.
And at this moment, she was smiling for him, getting drunk for him, and her eyes were full of tenderness for him.
"Later, they all became my best brothers. We fought together, drank together, and were inseparable."
He reached out and touched her cheek, his fingertips rubbing against her slightly hot skin.
The skin under his hands was delicate and attractive. Lu Jiangnian's eyes darkened: "It's late, shall we go to the room?"
"No, I haven't talked to you enough."
She looked up at him, her watery eyes reflecting the moonlight, like two clear springs rippling with starlight.
As if to prove something, she suddenly took two steps forward, but staggered a bit, "Look, I can still... walk in a straight line. Let me go, I can walk in a straight line..."
However, she had already leaned into Lu Jiangnian's arms.
He took advantage of the situation and picked the person up sideways. Yuan Wanru screamed and the wine in her hand spilled onto the ground. The wine flowed out and soaked a small area.
Lu Jiangnian took the wine jug from her hand.
"My wine..." She pouted aggrievedly and grabbed the front of his collar with her fingers.
Lu Jiangnian lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of her hair, which was mixed with the sweet scent of osmanthus wine and was very intoxicating: "I'll give you something better when we get back to the room."
As they walked through the corridor, Yuan Wanru twisted restlessly in his arms. She looked up at the sky full of stars, and suddenly reached out to touch them: "The stars... are spinning..."
"It's you who's spinning."
Lu Jiangnian reluctantly tightened his arms and pulled her into his arms.
She was wearing a double-breasted skirt today, with the collar slightly open, revealing the twin lotus flowers embroidered on the apricot-colored bodice underneath.
In the moonlight, the petals embroidered with silver thread rose and fell with her breathing, as if they were really swaying in the water.
Back in the room, Liu Yan and Liu Zhi prepared some sobering soup, but were dismissed by Lu Jiangnian with a look.
He gently placed her on the bed, but Yuan Wanru hooked her arms around his neck and refused to let go: "The story...is not over yet..."
"I want to hear more."
"Lu Jiangnian, tell me more..."
She blinked her hazy eyes, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the outline of his Adam's apple.
Lu Jiangnian grabbed her rebellious hand, leaned over and pecked her lips lightly: "Later, I won the battle and went home to marry the woman I loved."
His warm lips moved along her jaw to her ear, and his voice gradually became lower, "Life is happy and sweet, and I want to pester my wife every day."
Yuan Wanru giggled, but her laughter suddenly turned into a soft cry.
Lu Jiangnian bit her earlobe, his hand had already reached under her skirt and touched her smooth knees: "How about this story?"
"Just to make me feel good."
Her words were cut off by the kiss.
The sweet fragrance of osmanthus wine flowed between their intertwined breaths, and Lu Jiangnian's hand that was unbuttoning her belt suddenly paused.
It turned out that Yuan Wanru had taken the initiative and had actually torn off his belt.
Both of their clothes were in disarray and tangled on the bed.
Yuan Wanru smiled triumphantly, without a trace of drunkenness in her eyes: "You are a gigolo...want to climb into my bed?"
"No."
Lu Jiangnian's eyes suddenly darkened, and he grabbed her slender wrist and lifted it above his head: "It seems that Madam is pretending to be drunk."
Outside the window, a bright moon quietly hides in the clouds.
Yuan Wanru bit her lip, enduring his passionate teasing, and vaguely heard him say: "...Even if I'm a gigolo, I'm only your gigolo, and I'll concentrate on serving you, okay?"
Yuan Wanru hugged his neck, a thought drifting through her mind, "Don't forget, we can't..."
It hasn't been a month yet.
Lu Jiangnian paused, he almost forgot.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't prevent me from being intimate with my wife."
