He fetched firewood and started a fire. It was not until the flames were burning that a bit of warmth filled the room, allowing Shu Yao to ease the coldness in his body and mind.
However, due to the wet clothes clinging tightly to his body, the coldness seeped into his whole body again, and the initial hint of warmth vanished in an instant.
Shu Yue had already taken off his own clothes to dry. His strong body was not affected by the cold at all. He just looked at the soaking - wet Shu Yao and was at a loss.
Now that Shu Yao was shivering all over and his face was deathly pale, if he didn't take off his clothes in time, he would surely catch a cold.
Although they were both men, there should be no embarrassment. But if he were to see Shu Yao's body, it would be a kind of desecration and prying.
Moreover, since Shu Yao didn't even allow him to sleep in the same bed, how could he accept being completely exposed?
A series of tangled thoughts were swirling in Shu Yue's mind until a weak, trembling voice pulled him back.
"Cold..." He looked towards Shu Yao and saw that his body had shrunk into a small ball. His eyebrows were slightly knitted, which made people feel pity.
Shu Yue came to his side. His big hand hesitated for a moment before gently touching Shu Yao's trembling shoulder. He softly called out, "Father, Father?"
The warmth on his shoulder seemed to be a source of fire to Shu Yao. He suddenly placed his icy hand on Shu Yue's palm, and the coldness chilled Shu Yue's heart.
This kind of coldness penetrated deep into the bone marrow and shook Shu Yue's hesitation.
Unfortunately, Shu Yao was suffering from internal cold and was drowsy. There was no way to use magic to drive away the cold.
If there was any other feasible way, he would never use such an ambiguous and intimate way.
He gritted his teeth as if he had made a huge decision. "Father, don't blame me. I have no other choice."
Looking at the faintly visible fair skin under the light veil and thinking that he was about to see more, Shu Yue tried to suppress the restlessness in his heart. He slapped his blushing face hard.
He sneered at himself in his heart. When had he, a man of seven - foot stature, become so shy!
He was like an ant on a hot pan, trying hard to endure the itching in his heart. His well - defined fingers first touched Shu Yao's collar.
"Father, be good. Let's take off your outer clothes first." Like coaxing a child, he managed to take off the red robe of the crimson spider lily from Shu Yao without his knowing.
Without time to dry the red robe, he started to deal with the second layer of clothes.
However, at this moment, he didn't have the courage to act. He gritted his teeth and reached out his hand again, tremblingly lifting the white inner clothes.
The graceful line of Shu Yao's neck and shoulders was gradually exposed to his fiery gaze. Until the upper clothes were completely removed, Shu Yao's half - naked, soft and perfect body was presented in front of him.
His waist was as slender as a willow branch, his arms were delicate, and his collarbone was extremely beautiful. Just the upper body was like a string that tugged at Shu Yue's lower body...
His black hair was sticking to his temples and falling messily on his jade - like chest. On his snow - white face, his eyelashes fluttered like feathers and his cherry - like lips were slightly parted, which made Shu Yue's desire burn.
His thin lips were already bitten out of blood. His deep eyes were bottomless. Greed and aggression made him want to devour this alluring body!
He tried hard to restrain himself, clenching his fists. The veins on his arms were bulging, showing a man's crazy and male desire. His strong chest heaved rapidly with his breathing.
He quickly found a piece of clothing and draped it over Shu Yao's half - naked body, but the faintly visible slender figure still tortured Shu Yue.
"Cold, so cold..." A soft moan came from those lips, and his body still couldn't stop trembling.
"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath. In order to prevent his father from catching a cold, Shu Yue had to take another bold move.
He simply stretched out his long arms, pulled Shu Yao into his arms, and tightly hugged this delicate body with both arms, using his own warmth to wrap around the cold Shu Yao.
The sudden touch of the scorching body temperature made Shu Yao rub closer to his chest, completely pressing his face against it. His shivering body also calmed down in this warmth.
Shu Yue only felt that a certain part of his lower body was reacting more and more strongly. Looking at this pitiful half - face of jade, his Adam's apple rolled, his handsome face flushed red, and even his action of holding Shu Yao was very stiff.
He was really afraid that he would not be able to hold back and take Shu Yao completely at this moment!
In order to prevent himself from doing something crazy, he took out a dagger tucked in his trouser leg and slashed his restless hand fiercely.
The shocking wound was deep into the bone, showing how ruthless he was to himself.
Let the blood bloom into a series of gorgeous colors. He was already numb to the pain. He stayed awake all night, taking care of Shu Yao carefully, for fear that something might happen to him in the middle of the night.
It was not until dawn that the flames had already gone out. Shu Yue half - closed his eyes, and the tiredness was obvious in his heroic eyebrows.
When Shu Yao woke up, he found that he was only wearing a thin piece of clothing and lying in Shu Yue's arms.
Looking at the red robe on the ground and the naked Shu Yue, it really seemed that something had happened between them.
"You bastard! What did you do to me!" Shu Yao roared. A red light flashed in his eyes. The demonic qi in his body burst out because of his anger. His fingers showed sharp nails and he scratched five bright red blood marks on Shu Yue's chest fiercely.
The stabbing pain in his chest and the flowing blood made Shu Yue realize that Shu Yao had hurt him for the first time.
"Father, please listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think."
He reached out his hand to pull Shu Yao, but was roughly pushed away by him. "Don't touch me, you brute! I'm your father, and you did such a beastly thing."
Shu Yue could see that the doting in those beautiful eyes was no longer there. Instead, there was hatred and disgust!
"Father, you misunderstood me. I really didn't..."
"You still want to quibble!" Shu Yao's eyes were filled with anger. He pointed at the half - naked Shu Yue. "If not, why are you naked and why am I in this state? Do you dare to say that nothing happened?"
The scene in front of him made Shu Yao firmly believe that Shu Yue had done something beastly to him.
However, he didn't notice the scarred right hand hanging down under Shu Yue's sad expression.
The blood had dried up, and the wound was not sutured. It was just congealed on his hand.
Shu Yue stood there stupidly, his eyes filled with sadness and disappointment.
Was he really so despicable in his father's heart? He had been brought up by him since childhood. Didn't they even have this little bit of trust?
He moved his right hand slightly, and the wound ached faintly, the pain going deep into his bone marrow.
The air fell into a suffocating silence. The two men, although so close, seemed to be separated by a vast distance.
Shu Yao opened his slanting autumn - like eyes. Although they were so alluring, they were as cold as snow and emotionless.
This kind of bone - chilling coldness was something Shu Yue had never seen before. Because of this, he always had a premonition of something bad.
After a long while, in the dull air, a cold and decisive voice sounded faintly. "You can go. I don't want to see you again."
