Despite being forced to do some special actions, being topped was completely and utterly out of Tang Li’s expectations. He used all his strength to push Li Xin Wu away and in the midst of their struggle, accidentally pulled the other person’s collar wide open, revealing a firm and muscular chest, a beautiful collarbone, as well as a strung up copper coin hanging over his chest.
The copper coin was old fashioned and mottled, with its lower half tightly bound together by a red string. It was as if the coin had been impacted by something huge that changed its shape.
Tang Li touched the copper coin and immediately retracted his hand as if he’d been burned. “Why are you wearing a copper coin?”
Li Xin Wu silently tucked it back under his clothes. “I found it.”
Tang Li opened up his collar again and fished out the coin. “Stop lying. How could you have found something like this?”
Li Xin Wu fell silent. “This was given to me by a comrade who was killed during a war.”
Tang Li felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. “Comrade who was killed during a war?”
Li Xin Wu kissed his lips. “He told me this was a love token from his wife and asked me to take good care of it.
Tang Li wiped his sentimental tears and looked at Li Xin Wu. Then, he looked at the copper coin and back at Li Xin Wu again.
Li Xin Wu let out an unnatural cough.
Tang Li suddenly pinched Li Xin Wu’s face and slowly uttered one syllable at a time through gritted teeth, “Dog——gy——Li! It’s you.”
Li Xin Wu looked at him resolutely. “It’s not me.”

Tang Li pulled open Li Xin Wu’s clothes once more and ruthlessly jabbed at a faded scar. “Still pretending?! You got this from being bitten while fighting a stray dog and were chased for more than three streets when you were just seven years old!”
Li Xin Wu laughed coldly. “What impudence! This general received this from being stabbed by the Wolf Fang General on the battlefield.”
Tang Li grabbed his left hand and pulled up his sleeve, he pointed at the scar and spoke, “You got this scar when you were six. You climbed a tree to steal bird eggs but ended up falling down and getting scratched by the branches.
Li Xin Wu pinned him on the bed before pulling off his own belt. “Stop talking nonsense. This general got this during a sword competition.”
Tang Li pulled off Li Xin Wu’s pants. “I remember, once, you got caught stealing a mantou and ended up being whipped. Your chrysanthemum even bloomed.”
For the first time, Li Xin Wu held to his pants, not allowing Tang Li to take them off. His voice turned cold, “The scar on this general’s butt is from…”
Tang Li hammered him with his fist, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Doggy Li! It’s you!’
The smile on Li Xin Wu’s face was very wide but his voice was still cold. “How dare you slander this general? I will punish you severely.”
He was just like a person with bipolar disorder – too scary.
Tang Li finally calmed down and sincerely asked, “You were a good person the last time we met. How did you become so perverted?”
Li Xin Wu didn’t reply. He pecked him lightly, raining gentle kisses down Tang Li’s forehead, eyebrows, cheeks, and nose. At the end, he gently sucked the other person’s lips, making them red and glistening. On the other hand, Tang Li no longer resisted him like before and even pushed his tongue carefully inside Li Xin Wu’s mouth as they kissed. When he came in contact with the wet and soft tongue in his mouth, Tang Li’s heart was in turmoil as if this was his first time kissing another person. Li Xin Wu laughed lightly, his agile fingers slipped under Tang Li’s clothes and lit up a burning passion on every inch of his body as he slowly peeled off the other person’s clothes.

Tang Li didn’t stop him from taking off his clothes, only crying as he reminisced, “Do you remember that day when you fell down the tree when trying to steal the birds’ eggs? Your arms were covered in blood but you still fried an egg for me.”
Li Xin Wu said gently, “This general doesn’t steal bird eggs.”
Tang Li: “Do you still remember when I was being bullied, you rushed up to beat them but ended up being beaten instead. I was so frightened but you still humoured me even though your nose and face were swollen.”
Li Xin Wu bit his neck roughly. “Nonsense, I’m the only one who can beat others.”
Tang Li: “Do you still remember I called you a monster and said that if you couldn’t find a wife in the future, I would marry you? You even took a bundle of copper coin as the betrothal gift…”
Li Xin Wu: “Oh? I don’t remember.”
Tang Li bit his mouth angrily. “You obviously remember. My mom and dad believed my pair of red eyes was a sign of misfortune and didn’t want me. So, they sent me to the Tang sect to study. The day I left, you gave me the word ‘Li’ 1 In Chinese, the word ‘Li’ stands for ‘leaving’ which is also the same ‘Li’ in Tang Li’s name and told me it stood for two people being separated. You told me not to forget you…”
Li Xin Wu’s face became dark. “And what happened?”
Tang Li hung his head sheepishly. “I haven’t seen you for ten years.”
Li Xin Wu: “I still remember you.”
Tang Li: “My red eyes are recognisable.”
Li Xin Wu laughed coldly. “It has nothing to do with your eyes. I’ll recognise you even if you’ve turned to ashes.”
Tang Li tearfully leaned closer to kiss his lips. “Doggy Li!”
Li Xin Wu’s eyebrows twitched. “Impudence! You’re not allowed to call me by that nickname.”
Tang Li wrapped his arms around him and snuggled his face into his chest. “Doggy Li! Doggy Li! Doggy Li!”
Li Xin Wu laughed. “Presumptuous!”
Tang Li felt wronged. “Can you stop bullying me? You said you’ll become my wife and even took my betrothal gift.”
Li Xin Wu changed the subject. “This general only wants to go in to check the hole, how is this bullying?”
Tang Li finally reacted. He hurriedly shielded his buttocks as he stammered. “Don’t. We already agreed I would marry you. How can you do something like this to your husband?”
Li Xin Wu spread his legs and pinned him under his body. “It was Doggy Li who promised you. I’m not Doggy Li.”
The general’s diary:
He only remembered after seeing the copper coin. I’m angry.
He still needs to be punished.
