AFMD : Chapter 16 part 1

Song Jin hadn’t fully recovered from the shock when he suddenly felt a strong force around his waist, almost cutting him in two.

What’s worse, he, a modern civilized person, almost lost control in public!

“Let go, let go!” Song Jin couldn’t care about anything else, desperately trying to pry Huo Du’s hand away, his face filled with despair.

Don’t press on his stomach, he really couldn’t hold it anymore!

If Huo Du had initially thought it was an illusion, or perhaps just happened to encounter someone who looked exactly like Song Jin, as soon as Song Jin spoke, Huo Du was certain that this was his wife.

Let go? How could he possibly let go!

Huo Du pressed down on Song Jin’s struggles and called for the deputy to continue commanding, carrying Song Jin towards the general’s residence.

The wind was strong, and Song Jin was disheveled in the wind. Although Huo Du had saved him twice, he was about to burst!

“Let me down, I need to relieve myself!” Song Jin shouted.

Unfortunately, the wind was too strong, and the general couldn’t hear clearly, only catching the part where Song Jin said he wanted to get down.

Huo Du’s face instantly darkened. Why was she avoiding him even when they were in Yunquan City?

If it weren’t for the wind blowing her down today, would she avoid him tomorrow when he went to patrol Haicheng? Would she leave without even planning to meet him, sneak in and sneak out as if there were no Huo Du?

“Ah!”

Song Jin was thrown onto the big bed. He endured for a while, relieving the urgent need to urinate, feeling dizzy and confused, he heard Huo Du say, “I’ll give you a chance to explain.”

Explain what? Had he done anything unfaithful in the past?

Huo Du sternly pulled Song Jin’s hands above his head, pressing him onto the bed.

Why didn’t you come to find me when you were alive? Were you happy to see me living alone? Or maybe your promise of waiting for me was just fake, colluding with the princess to deceive me?

Huo Du had too many questions… How have the past two years been? How did the princess trouble you? Have you been wronged?

And… Does the promise made back then still count?

Huo Du’s pressure dealt a fatal blow to Song Jin, who gasped for breath, “General, can I use the latrine first? I can’t hold it anymore.”

Huo Du’s expression changed slightly as he got up and took out a chamber pot from under the bed. “Hurry up.”

“Can you turn around?” Song Jin made a request. “I can’t urinate with you watching.”

Huo Du’s eyes narrowed, and Song Jin unexpectedly felt that this gaze was particularly familiar, as if he had never resisted Huo Du’s strength from beginning to end. The word “coward” popped into Song Jin’s mind, and he quickly resolved the matter in front of Huo Du.

With his cheeks burning red, Song Jin returned the chamber pot to its place under the bed. “Thank you for saving me twice, General!”

Song Jin bowed properly, thinking that he might as well give all the grains and flour he brought from Taihu Lake to the soldiers in the military camp. This trip was not appropriate for anything, relying on Huo Du to save his life during a crisis. It was better to distribute wealth to save his life.

Then he would go back tomorrow.

“Twice?”

“The time at the inn when you encountered the bad guys, the person under the bed was me” Song Jin scratched his cheek, feeling like a foolish weakling who had landed in danger multiple times.

Huo Du remembered that night, his breath hitched. If he had been even a moment later… he would have tied Song Jin to his belt for life! Wherever he went, he would take Song Jin with him!

“Song Jin? You’ve become bold enough to pretend like nothing happened before?” Huo Du’s use of Song Jin’s full name was like a blazing fire, as if he had forgotten how he addressed him when they were in bed together.

Song Jin was confused. What happened before?

“Sorry, General, have we met before?” Song Jin asked.

Huo Du was frustrated. How could Song Jin still pretend? His foolish wife had her memory wiped and didn’t even know it.

“We got married, Song Jin” Huo Du hugged Song Jin tightly. “That day, the Huo residence was decorated with red silk, and His Majesty granted us the wedding. I was alone…”

Huo Du’s voice choked, unable to continue. “Thank goodness you’re still here, thank goodness.”

Not understanding what Huo Du was saying, Song Jin went from being single to being married in just a few words. He stomped his feet, feeling like he had become a laughingstock picking up a bride on the street! But when he touched the two circles of bracelets in Huo Du’s arms, he strangely felt comforted.

Resting against Huo Du’s shoulder, at this moment when he should have been affectionate, Song Jin generously offered, “I’ll give you all the provisions, and I’ll return to the northwest tomorrow.”

History always had astonishing similarities. Huo Du vaguely felt that this speech was somewhat familiar. Some people, even if they lost their memories, still fled with their goods in the same way.

The temperature suddenly dropped to zero degrees, and Song Jin seemed to see shards of ice carried by the wind stabbing at his face.

Click, the next moment, Song Jin’s hands were suddenly bound with two circles of shackles, and he was locked to the bedpost.

“You…!”

Huo Du’s eyes brewed a storm. “I have other matters to attend to. If you dare to run, it’s your own responsibility.”

Before leaving, he left a few tooth marks on Song Jin’s chest as a mark.

Touching the slightly swollen nipples, Song Jin felt a bit melancholic. He actually felt that this scene was unexpectedly familiar, and he didn’t resist.

Have I become such a coward?

Shocked!

Huo Du saw his question and mercilessly exposed him: “Your body’s memory is better than your brain’s.”

Song Jin: Did they really have a relationship?

Huo Du stopped there. He didn’t expect Song Jin to remember immediately. It was a step-by-step process, and there was still time in the future.

“Wait!” Song Jin stopped Huo Du, who was about to leave again.

“Hmm?”

“Uh, it’s windy outside, be careful. I’ll… I’ll wait for you.” Song Jin wrapped himself in the blanket, facing away from Huo Du.

As he said “I’ll wait for you” there was a strange emotion in the air, as if he had been waiting for him all along.

Oh no, not only am I a coward, but I might have other problems too!

Song Jin thought anxiously.

…

God knows how much Huo Du wanted to hold his wife and cherish him, but outside, the wind was raging, the waves were surging, and as the general guarding the area, he couldn’t indulge in tenderness alone.

Drenched in rain and covered in mud, Huo Du suddenly remembered Song Jin, who was still locked inside the house, and quickly ordered someone to send him food.

Huo Du instructed the deputy to deliver the food to Song Jin, but the deputy thought it was unimportant. He had more urgent matters to attend to, so he casually handed it over to a guard nearby.

The guard who was sent to deliver the food had just been promoted and had recently had the opportunity to get close to the general’s residence. He didn’t have much ability and relied on seniority for promotion.

Holding the food, the guard opened the door and saw Song Jin wrapped in a blanket. His complexion wasn’t very good. They were all suffering outside in the wind and rain, yet a prisoner was sleeping soundly in bed.

Song Jin sat up, feeling hungry. It was hot under the blanket, and he hadn’t covered himself tightly, revealing a small piece of fair neck. He reached out to take the food, internally complaining about Huo Du locking him up and still having someone else deliver food to him. Wasn’t he ashamed?

The guard’s gaze was unfocused, standing still, unable to move. They were all tough guys in the military camp, going without seeing a woman for three days, so seeing someone as fair and beautiful as Song Jin, they even ignored his gender.

Song Jin shoveled the rice into his mouth, oblivious to everything else.

The blanket slipped down, revealing the wrists chained by shackles and the kiss marks on his neck. Huo Du had left them fiercely, making them look no different from the traces of their lovemaking last night.

The guard’s eyes suddenly turned lecherous. He was convinced that Song Jin was a spy captured by Huo Du, perhaps even a cross-dresser.
