Chapter 700 - Sleep Here
Huo Jin s.n.a.t.c.hed the wine jar from w.a.n.g Hao"s hand and hugged it tightly. His cheeks had flushed red. "Give it back, Huo Jin," w.a.n.g Hao requested him.
He shook his head and brought it closer to his lips. He drank it while some of it fell down on his clothes. The wine was strong, but he had no idea that Huo Jin would get drunk easily.
He s.n.a.t.c.hed the jar from Huo Jin, who started to whine.
"Huo Jin, you should not drink anymore," w.a.n.g Hao said and put the wine jar on the table, closing its mouth with the lid.
"General w.a.n.g, let me take a sip. I-I wa-want to forget everything today," he said while stuttering and then grasped w.a.n.g Hao"s arm tightly. "My big brother is so strong," he started to laugh suddenly and moved his cheek on w.a.n.g Hao"s arm.
w.a.n.g Hao snickered. He was startled to see Huo Jin"s behavior in his drunk state.
"Forgive me for making your sister cry. She is such a gentlewoman while I did many evil deeds in my life. I do-do n-ot think myself wor-thy of her," he murmured and then lifted his head.
"General w.a.n.g, can"t you tell her to not ask me every time if I feel anything towards her or not?" He made a pouty expression while his eyes were half-closed.
"I don"t like it when tears appear in her eyes because of me," Huo Jin said. "She should hate me, no? I dishearten her."
w.a.n.g Hao was surprised to hear Huo Jin. In his conscious state, he hardly expressed his thoughts. He usually refrained from saying.
"Then, just embrace her," w.a.n.g Hao said.
"I cannot do that either. I told you earlier."
Huo Jin"s eyes turned heavier. He fell back and his head hit the floor. "Ahh," he screamed and closed his eyes. w.a.n.g Hao wiped Huo Jin"s mouth with the handkerchief and then called in a servant.
"Take Huo Jin to his room," w.a.n.g Hao commanded him.
The servant came ahead and grabbed Huo Jin"s arm. w.a.n.g Hao pulled Huo Jin from the other side. The servant carried Huo Jin on his back and took him out of General w.a.n.g"s room.
w.a.n.g Hao looked at the wine jar at the table. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for this wine. At least, I got to know what Huo Jin thinks!" A smile carved on his lips and he cleaned the table, before putting back the wine jar to its original place.
Huo Jin patted the servant"s back. "Young Master, the room is near," the servant replied politely. Huo Jin lifted his head from his back and told him to let him go. Because he troubled the servant, they both fell to the ground.
"Ahh," they both screamed at the same time as they hurt their back. Huo Jin, oppositely quickly stood up and started to run on the walkway.
The servant too got up and ran after Huo Jin, but he ran so fast that the servant was unable to find him. He went to Huo Jin"s room to check on him as the nearest place was Huo Jin"s room.
Huo Jin, on the other hand, had gone to Yin Na"s room. But instead of using the door, he used the window.
Yin Na, who had just had her dinner, prepared to go to bed, heard strange sounds coming from the window. She ignored those sounds and removed the hairpin from her hair. She looked at her reflection in the mirror.
"Xu Wenhai found me beautiful but Huo Jin hardly compliments me," She murmured and placed the mirror on the table. Her gaze fell on the small wooden book which the Empress had sent for her. Before she could open it, she again heard the sound from the window.
She put the box down and turned to look towards the window. She walked near it and got intimidated when it suddenly opened.
"Huo Jin!" She was shocked to see him.
Huo Jin showed white teeth smile to her and climbed in from that window.
"Why did you come from the window?" She asked him confusedly when Huo Jin placed his index finger on her lips, startling her.
"You do not need to speak so loudly," he whispered and then pulled his hand back. He turned and then closed the window without making any noise.
Yin Na smelled the wine from him and asked him about it. Huo Jin turned to face her and smiled brightly. "Yes, with General w.a.n.g. But he did not let me drink more," Huo Jin pouted.
"You should go to your room," Yin Na said and grabbed his arm. She pulled him but he did not budge from his place.
"Huo Jin," she glared at him and again pulled him forward.
"I don"t want to go," Huo Jin said and yanked her arm away. He went towards the bed and laid down on it, hugging a pillow tightly.
"I will sleep here. I am scared to sleep alone," Huo Jin murmured. Yin Na walked to the bed. She was bewildered by his actions.
"Huo Jin, get up before anyone comes in," Yin Na pulled his arm but Huo Jin insisted on sleeping in that room.
"Huo Jin, why are you creating ruckus at night?" She asked in a low voice when he sat up. Yin Na lost her balance and she fell on the floor.
"Ouch!" She winced in pain while Huo Jin started to laugh.
Yin Na widened her eyes and immediately ran to him. She covered his mouth with her palm and put his index finger on her mouth.
"Miss, are you okay? What was that sound?" She heard her personal servant and the door creak.
"No, don"t come. I have gone to bed," Yin Na lied to her and quickly went towards the bedside table. She blew off the candle and came back to the bed to check on Huo Jin, who had put his finger on his lips. .
She rested her hand on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
