My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 24: Should Have Maintained Distance

Chapter 24: Should Have Maintained Distance

Nie Yao urged the young master to put on clothes and exited the several-hundred-square-meter bathroom himself. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind him: “Remember to wear shoes after you wash.” Don’t come out barefoot again and make him wash them.

Du Suilan finally settled down in the hot spring bath, leisurely washing while reviewing everything that just happened. He also formulated the next step of his plan to conquer Nie Yao.

After washing, he got up. After three seconds of hesitation, he put on the shoes and didn’t deliberately have someone wash his feet again. However, this time he didn’t dry his hair, letting the small stream of water drip down and dampen his silk pajamas.

“Brother A-Yao!” Du Suilan had a smile on his face. He wanted to rush into Nie Yao’s arms and wipe the water from his hair onto his clothes. But as soon as he got close, he smelled the lingering scent of the spicy hot pot base on him.

Before Nie Yao could even stop him, he retreated on his own.

“Brother A-Yao, do you want to take a bath?” He blinked, trying to cover up his momentary distaste.

Nie Yao pinched his face. He was amused and exasperated, “Why didn’t you mind the smell when you were letting me serve you food, hmm?”

“Wuwu… A-Yao gwo…” With his handsome face being pinched, Du Suilan couldn’t speak clearly. Despite this, he still stood obediently, allowing the pinch. “I was wrong.”

Water was still dripping from the ge’er‘s hair. Nie Yao didn’t want to tease him too much in case he caught a cold. While grumbling about why he didn’t dry his hair, he found a towel to dry the water for him, and then used internal energy to dry it completely once the water droplets were gone.

“Because I wanted to see Brother A-Yao~” Du Suilan was extremely satisfied with his dry hair. He lowered his head, tugged at his pajamas, and then looked up, innocently requesting, “Brother A-Yao, dry my clothes too, while you’re at it.”

“Dry them yourself.” Nie Yao knew he had some martial arts skills and could easily dry his own clothes.

“Fine.”

“Du Suilan, something very important, you need to listen to me seriously.”

“Okay.”

“We are good friends, and being a little intimate is fine. But there’s a difference between ge’er and men, we cannot be too intimate and lack boundaries, do you understand?”

“Okay.”

Du Suilan nodded, indicating he understood, but in his heart, he was vehemently disagreeing. His attitude was very suspicious. It was as if he hadn’t listened to his words at all.

Just to be safe, Nie Yao broke down the principle and explained it to him clearly again.

“But, Brother A-Yao.” Du Suilan didn’t like hearing this, and as soon as he finished, he countered, “If we were just friends, would you help a ge’er wash his feet?”

In this world, the feet are a very private part of the body. Just exposing them is considered indecent, let alone having the opposite s3x help wash them. It was overly intimate. Except for the relationship between a couple or fu-fu (husbands), anything else would be inappropriate.

Du Suilan: “Since Brother A-Yao has already helped Me wash My feet, what’s the difference in helping Me bathe?”

Nie Yao was stunned. His first thought was: He makes a good point!

His second thought. That thing yesterday was not a punishment at all; it was him taking advantage of a ge’er!! He had acted like a rogue.

Nie Yao, who belatedly realized this, shriveled up and then slowly crumbled into dust.

“Brother A-Yao? Brother A-Yao??” Du Suilan couldn’t wake him up no matter how much he called. So he grabbed his shoulders and shook him frantically, “Wake up! Brother A-Yao!”

“If you don’t wake up, I’m going to bite you!”

As the threat left his mouth, he saw Nie Yao put his hand in front of his own face. With an extremely mournful (sad and angry from the doubt cast on his moral integrity) tone, he said, “Bite.” It didn’t matter how hard. He deserved it.

Du Suilan stared at him for a moment… If that’s the case, then I won’t be polite? Du Suilan grabbed Nie Yao’s hand, pulled him closer with force, and fiercely bit him on the lips.

Nie Yao was astonished, shocked, panicked, dismayed, and finally terrified. Why did he suddenly… He wasn’t ready… No, no, no, he… he… he!!! He was a morally corrupt rogue!!!

“Brother A-Yao, I like, no, I love you.” Du Suilan said this without any certainty in his heart. While Nie Yao was still in a state of existential crisis and hadn’t reacted, he quickly jumped onto him and held him tightly to prevent him from running away after hearing the confession.

A long time passed. Nie Yao closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, then opened his eyes and stated firmly, “I will take responsibility.”

“Huh?”

“I will marry you.” Worried that he had taken advantage of him again, Nie Yao added, “If you are willing.”

“I am willing!” Du Suilan was overjoyed. He cupped Nie Yao’s face and kissed him “smooch, smooch” several times. “Brother A-Yao, I love you!”

“Mm… En… I, I also…” Nie Yao was completely stiff. He wanted to return the sentiment and say he loved him too, but he just couldn’t say it.

Du Suilan didn’t mind. He was already very satisfied with this result for the first phase.

“Love you, love you, love you, love you… Brother A-Yao, I love you!” Du Suilan helped to complete the sentence himself. He was absolutely certain that Nie Yao would say those words to him in the future. Because he wanted not only Brother A-Yao’s person but also his heart! His everything, it all had to belong to him.

Du Suilan was very confident in himself. Thus, he didn’t care about Nie Yao’s forced smile at all.

“Brother A-Yao, take me to sleep!” He was still ordering him in that matter-of-fact tone.

Nie Yao’s emotions were complex. He really wanted to be alone to sort out his thoughts. But thinking about how he had already agreed to marry the young master and take responsibility for him, he forced himself to cheer up and carry the person to bed.

“Brother A-Yao, you sleep here.” Du Suilan rolled over to the inside and patted the pillow on the outside, indicating that he was willing to give up half of the imperial bed.

The ge’er smiled very sweetly. It wasn’t the fake sweetness he usually put on to mess with him, but a sweetness that radiated from genuine inner and outer joy. This made Nie Yao realize: this ge’er genuinely seemed to like him very much.

Why? They hadn’t seen each other for over ten years, and had only recently reconciled. When exactly did he develop a crush on him? Nie Yao couldn’t figure it out.

The young master’s eyes were shining. Nie Yao didn’t want to say that his feelings for him might only be the affection one feels for a younger brother or family member, for fear of hurting him. But he also wasn’t ready to lie with him so soon.

He pulled the blanket up to cover the ge’er, patting him gently to coax him. “You sleep now. I need to go back to my residence later to deal with some matters.”

“Okay.” Du Suilan was disappointed but not too disappointed. He closed his eyes obediently. “Good night, Brother A-Yao.”

“Good night.”

Nie Yao sat by the bed for a while, until the moon was high in the sky, before leaving the palace to return to his residence. The first thing he did was write a letter to his father and A-die (Dad) at the border, informing them of the news that he might be getting married soon. As well as Du Suilan’s identity.

After writing a few lines, Nie Yao hesitated, then added: He is a very interesting and particularly beautiful ge’er. You will definitely like him too.

Finally, he asked his father to send the money he had saved, as he needed it to marry his wife. Although it wasn’t the marriage he had envisioned, everything that should be done must be done. He had been saving that money for many years. Always looking forward to using it. However, his love life was not smooth after he became an adult. Every time the thought of marriage arose and he tried to start a relationship with the opposite s3x, the story would abruptly end before it even began.
