Chapter 163: The Remaining Heat

After it was over, Wen Yu felt tired. He was exhausted and with his eyes closed, he let Shen Yu clean up under him.

Shen Yu simply wiped Wen Yu's body with warm water. Wen Yu was relatively clean when she came out of the shower, but now her underwear was damp, and large areas of it were soaked with sweat.

Seeing this, Shen Yu didn't plan to get him a new set of clothes. He put the basin next to the table, lifted the quilt again, crawled in, and reached out to hug Wen Yu's naked and slightly cold body.

"My queen, you made such a loud noise just now, could anyone have heard it?" Shen Yu faced Wen Yu. He ran his palm up along Wen Yu's thin back and felt the shape of his ribs under his skin.

Wen Yu snorted nonchalantly: "So what if you heard it? Didn't the dog emperor ask you to warm his bed? You didn't do anything wrong."

"..." Shen Yu thought for a few seconds and actually felt that there was some truth in it, "But he doesn't know that I'm a man."

Wen Yu glanced at Shen Yu in the dark. He was about to say something but stopped himself. In his heart, he felt speechless about Shen Yu being a man. Not only was Shen Yu a man, he also refused to give in to him and just suppressed him.

Wen Yu was plotting secretly. He crossed his thumbs and pressed them together, and felt Shen Yu's palm quietly touching the half of his face that was destroyed.

There was an old coil in his hand from years of activities, and when it touched Wen Yu's face, it felt a little rough and stiff.

Wen Yu had considered that half of his face a forbidden area, unwilling to let others touch it, and even he himself couldn't bear to look at it. Now Shen Yu covered it with his palm, and a slightly warm warmth permeated into it.

"Shen Yu, why do you like to touch this half of my face so much?" Wen Yu's eyelashes drooped. He turned sideways so that Shen Yu could feel the outline of his disfigured face more clearly. "Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Yu did not hide it either. He said, "This half of my face has protected the queen from disaster, so I am naturally not afraid."

"Preventing disasters?" It was the first time that Wen Yu heard such a statement. He smiled with an ambiguous tone, "How do you know? His Majesty has kept this matter a secret and no one is allowed to talk about it."

On the wedding day, Wen Yu disfigured herself with the intention of killing the emperor. Except for a few old eunuchs around Xuan Lin, almost all the other people who knew about this were secretly silenced by the secret guards. Even the people in the studio could hardly know what happened.

"I know everything about the queen." Shen Yu didn't explain much. He hugged Wen Yu and spoke in a calm tone.

Wen Yu sneered: "Pretend."

"You don't believe it?"

"Tell me, what do you know about me? But there are only one or two secrets in the palace. If you take the trouble to ask someone, you will find out. It's nothing special. I..."

"My lady, there is a small scar three inches below your buttocks, on the inner side of your thigh."

Wen Yu paused for a moment, then said, "That's what you just peeked at."

"..." Shen Yu laughed, "How can I peek? Your scar is inside. I'm not that perverted."

Wen Yu said nothing. He did have a small scar there, which was caused by him falling from a tree when he was a child and being scratched by branches. Because the scar was hidden and he didn't want to attract attention, only his master who raised him knew about it.

I didn't expect Shen Yu to know this. Wen Yu secretly covered the scar on his lower body with his hand, still suspecting that Shen Yu had just taken the opportunity to see where he was.

Shen Yu understood Wen Yu's thoughts very well. He did not say anything more to avoid Wen Yu's suspicion and causing confusion about Shen Yu's identity again.

After Shen Yu died in his previous life, he had left this place and gone to another world. Now that he has returned to the same place and reunited with Wen Yu, it is difficult for him to explain his origins to Wen Yu in just a few words.

After all, Wen Yu knew nothing about the future at this time.

Wen Yu put her knees between Shen Yu's legs. He seemed to particularly like this position and would always sneak in at night: "Shen Yu, how did you know? Have you met my master?"

"No." Shen Yu lowered his eyelashes, "I just missed the queen for many years."

Wen Yu's pupils trembled. He silently looked at Shen Yu's figure in the dark, and felt their heartbeats at almost the same frequency as their skin touched.

Fast, powerful, out of control.

Wen Yu seemed to have grasped something in the ups and downs of the tide. He did not ask any more questions, but entangled his breath with Shen Yu and kissed the tip of his nose: "Shen Yu, don't call me queen, I'm not an empress."

Shen Yu hugged his lower back. He responded to Wen Yu's kiss and asked, "What should I call you then?"

Occasionally, their breathing could be heard in the dark brew. Wen Yu half-opened his eyes and uttered in a somewhat dry voice words that he had not mentioned for a long time.

"Call me Shouyu." Wen Yu whispered in Shen Yu's ear slowly, "My master gave me this name in person on Chengyuan Mountain. My nickname is Shouyu."

Shen Yu paused, he lifted his eyelids and saw Wen Yu continue to say to him: "In the entire Kunning Palace, I will only tell you one person."

"Shou Yu..." Shen Yu repeated, and he smiled slowly, "It's a good name."

Wen Yu curled her lips: "Can you call me?"

Shen Yu did not respond: "No."

"Call."

"No."

Wen Yu curled his lips: "Ten gold ingots."

"..." Shen Yu didn't expect Wen Yu to squander the gold in his small box so much. He rolled his eyes and said, "Pick up the jade."

Wen Yu was slightly stunned after hearing this. He seemed to have not heard such a voice for a long time. After Shen Yu stopped talking, he hooked Shen Yu's chin with his finger and said, "Go on, I'll give you more gold."

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Pick up the jade."

"Pick up the jade."

"Pick up the jade."

"Hold..."

"That's enough." Wen Yu stopped Shen Yu from talking. He buried his head in Shen Yu's neck and said, "Don't shout anymore."

Shen Yu understood: "Not enough money?"

Wen Yu: “…”

"I won't charge you any money." Shen Yu's fingers shuttled through Wen Yu's thick long hair. He said, "Accept the compensation."

Wen Yu's breathing paused slightly, and he suddenly raised his head and bit Shen Yu's collarbone with such force that he almost broke the skin.

Shen Yu hissed, pinched Wen Yu's neck, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wen Yu acted as if nothing had happened, and he said, "I didn't do anything, I'm giving you my body as compensation."

Shen Yu: "Did you do this on purpose?"

Wen Yu raised her eyelids: "What's up?"

Shen Yu pulled the corner of his lip. This temper is really...

"Not so good." Shen Yu stretched out his arm. Just as he opened his mouth, he saw Wen Yu turn sideways and try to hide under the bed. Shen Yu's eyes darkened, and he simply grabbed his thigh and pulled him back from the edge.

"What are you hiding for? You were so brave just now?" Shen Yu pressed the back of his neck and buried Wen Yu's face in the quilt. He suppressed Wen Yu's movements and asked, "What do you say now?"
