Lu Yunchu felt that he would not be able to sleep well during this period of time.
helplessly asked Wen Zhan, who had been awake and "harassing" her frequently, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Wen Zhan said nothing and just lay down obediently.
Lu Yunchu sighed inwardly and closed his eyes. Not long after, he opened his eyes and saw Wen Zhan propping up his legs to peek at him again, his fingers still playing with his hair.
He patted his forehead and decided not to indulge Wen Zhan like this: "You haven't had a good rest for so long, your body must be unable to bear it. Now that I'm back, you have to take good care of yourself."
Wen Zhan nodded, then thought about how he couldn't see in the darkness, so he made a "hmm" sound through his nose.
He agreed readily, but he didn't listen. Lu Yunchu looked at his dark but bright eyes and felt his teeth itching. He grabbed his arm that was supporting his upper body and pulled it hard.
Wen Zhan was caught off guard and was dragged down onto the ground.
Lu Yunchu pressed his hands against his face and said viciously, "Go to bed quickly. You'll get beaten if you don't."
Wen Zhan was amused by the childish words. His laughter was soft and breathy, and it made people's scalps feel electric.
Lu Yunchu let go and held him close: "Seriously, go to sleep."
Wen Zhan rested his head on my shoulder, hugged me, and rubbed my chin with his furry head, which felt itchy.
Lu Yunchu couldn't help but tease him: "If others saw you like this, who knows how they would laugh at you."
Wen Zhan was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke haltingly, "From now on... Okay, I'll change it."
Lu Yunchu used to be able to understand the simplified fragments of words he wrote on his palm, but now he can understand the meaning of the simplified words - he will be able to recover after some time, and he is now working hard to correct it.
He always knew how to hit my weak spot. The word "change" would instantly make me feel soft-hearted.
"It's okay." She patted his head, hugged him, and they went to sleep together.
The warmth only lasted for a moment, and Lu Yunchu couldn't help but said, "You can't do this in summer, it's too hot."
He has always been of this kind of personality. As long as he is around, Wen Zhan finds it difficult to stay depressed for long.
He was amused and somehow felt much more relaxed. He fell asleep leaning against Lu Yunchu in a daze.
Lu Yunchu fell asleep quickly and could feel the breath of the person next to him on his neck, which made him feel itchy and hot.
My thoughts started to wander again. Other people would be so excited when they met again after a long separation that they couldn't get out of bed, but they were different. They stayed together like spineless people all day long, feeling sick and pure.
Sleeping like this affects sleep. Lu Yunchu was woken up by the heat one moment and by being squeezed the next. Every time he woke up and wanted to get angry, his anger would subside when he saw Wen Zhan's face.
There's nothing I can do. He's just so unprincipled.
In the middle of the night, it started to rain heavily outside. The window was half open, and the cold wind was blown into the house. The two of them huddled together and the temperature was just right. Lu Yunchu finally fell into a sound sleep.
There was a sudden storm in the middle of the night. The next morning the sky was gloomy and there was no light. When I woke up, I thought it was still dark.
Lu Yunchu moved his body. Wen Zhan was sleeping soundly. He rubbed his cheek against his body in a daze, then changed his position and hugged him.
She took his hand away gently. Although Wen Zhan was unaware of it, he still frowned and looked unhappy.
Lu Yunchu's movements were like a slow-motion scene in a movie, very, very slow. In the end, she finally moved out of his arms. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Zhan made a faint sound from his nose, as if he was not used to feeling empty-handed.
Lu Yunchu thought to himself that this was the sound he should have made when he frowned and rubbed the pillow. If he heard it himself, he would probably be so embarrassed that he ran away immediately like he did last night.
The rain outside stopped, leaving only the howling wind, which quickly blew away all the moisture on the ground.
Lu Yunchu looked at Wen Zhan with relief for a while. The soft hair on his forehead had grown a little longer and fell casually on his face, making his cold face look a little childish.
She gently smoothed the loose hair on his forehead, moving the unruly strands away from his eyebrows.
Because he did not have any memories of the days when he returned to the modern era, it was like he had fallen asleep and woken up very quickly. His perception of time was very numb. But for Wen Zhan, it was like he had been suffering for so long.
sighed.
Wen Zhan was sleeping very soundly, probably because he was exhausted. He was looking at his eyes and pulling his hands last night, so he didn't sleep well.
I woke up and thought that my father got drunk yesterday and must be feeling uncomfortable when he woke up this morning. I haven't had a good time with him since I came back, so I should go over and bring him a bowl of sobering soup or something.
After making sure that Wen Zhan was sleeping soundly, he felt relieved and prepared to go out.
It’s not far to go back and forth, and it won’t take too long, but Lu Yunchu still wrote a note and put it on the bedside. After all, Wen Zhan’s current condition means he can’t be left alone.
I rushed to Lu Jing's yard. Lu Jing was indeed feeling uncomfortable. When he saw me coming, his eyes lit up and he immediately put down his hand pressing his temple: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't you come over?" He said with a smile, "Stop you complaining all day about a married woman being like spilled water."
Lu Jing felt warm in his heart, but he complained: "Originally, it was, hey, an old man like me, how can I deserve the care of my girlfriend."
Seeing him rubbing his temple uncomfortably, Lu Yunchu asked, "Did you drink the hangover soup?"
Lu Jing waved his hand: "I don't drink that, it tastes weird."
Lu Yunchu ignored him and asked the servants to prepare a bowl of hangover soup for him, and advised him, "Drink it and you won't feel so bad."
Lu Jing said no, but when the hangover soup was served, he drank it obediently. Lu Yunchu seldom cared about him before, but now that Lu Yunchu treated him like this, he felt very happy and felt that he was not so lonely anymore.
After he finished drinking the hangover soup, the two of them exchanged a few words. Seeing that Lu Jing didn't look very energetic, Lu Yunchu asked, "Would you like to have someone massage your head for you?"
Lu Jing waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just take a rest for a while."
It happened that Lu Yunchu was about to go back, so he said goodbye to him and got up to walk back.
Not long after walking, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder in the sky. The dark sky seemed to be falling, and in the blink of an eye, rain began to fall.
Lu Yunchu hurried back to the corridor to hide.
The rainstorm was getting heavier and heavier, the sound of the rain was so loud that it even covered up the people's voices.
The maid standing in the corridor raised her voice and urged loudly: "Miss, why don't you go back to the house and sit for a while, and then go back after the rain stops?"
The rain curtain covered the view ahead, making people breathless. Such heavy rain, the fragile oil-paper umbrella could not stop it at all. Lu Yunchu nodded and said, "Okay."
Lu Yunchu returned to the house and sat for a while. Instead of reducing the rain, it became even heavier. The sky became completely dark and it was impossible to see in the house without turning on the lights.
Seeing Lu Yunchu constantly looking out the window, the maid asked worriedly, "Miss, is there something urgent?"
Lu Yunchu shook his head, just wondering whether Wen Zhan had woken up.
If he woke up and saw the note on the bedside, he would definitely guess that he was now at his father's place, trapped by the heavy rain. Even if he didn't see the note, he could find out by going out and asking the maid.
The maid poured a cup of hot tea for Lu Yunchu and asked, "Miss, the rain is coming in from the window and the ground is wet. Can you please close the window?"
Even though the table was quite a distance from the window, Lu Yunchu could clearly feel the moisture coming in from the raindrops: "Close it."
The maid nodded and walked towards the window.
Just as he touched the window, he suddenly let out a scream, which scared Lu Yunchu so much that he almost knocked over the teacup.
Realizing her own recklessness, the maid's first reaction was to kneel down and apologize, but she seemed to be frightened and couldn't even speak clearly.
"Get up quickly, what happened?" Lu Yunchu asked.
The maid shook her head: "My dear lady, I seem to see someone standing in the rainstorm... standing there." In such heavy rain, who would go into the rainstorm unless they were fools? The maid was sure that she was not dazzled, so she couldn't help but think of those horrible folk legends.
Lu Yunchu has always been a bold person and would definitely not be afraid of these things. However, when he heard what the maid said, his expression changed.
“No way…” He stood up and walked quickly to the window.
Looking out of the window, there was no one in the rain, but Lu Yunchu felt a little uneasy. He quickly walked to the door, opened it, and "swish". A strong wind blew in the rain on his head.
Lu Yunchu was dazzled by the wind and his face was wrinkled.
He wiped his face with his sleeve and opened his eyes. Sure enough, there stood a soaked person in front of him.
Her hair and clothes were all soaked, and water kept dripping down. Her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, and her originally fair skin became even paler after the heavy rain.
The maid came over and was shocked to see Wen Zhan's embarrassed look. Only then did she realize that the figure she had just seen was him.
"Miss, my uncle..."
Lu Yunchu tilted his head and ordered, "Bring some charcoal basins and some clean clothes for father, and ask someone to get some hot water for bathing. Remember to hurry up."
The maid didn't understand what happened between them. She always felt that her brother-in-law's behavior was really strange. She didn't dare to explore and walked away quickly with her head down.
After the maid left, Wen Zhan slowly raised his head.
After he woke up, Lu Yunchu was no longer by his side, and outside the sky was dark and heavy rain was pouring down, as if swallowing up the entire world, just like the day he fell asleep and passed away.
Wen Zhan hurriedly got up from the bed, without even putting on his shoes, and searched around the house.
There was no light in the room, and every corner was pitch black. The flashbacks of past memories that seemed like they happened just yesterday made him breathless.
He had never been so panicked and anxious before. He had lost all his rationality. He wanted to shout out her name, but because he was too anxious, he couldn't pronounce it clearly and could only shout "ah" in broken syllables.
No, he's back.
Wen Zhan forced himself to calm down, panting and trying to suppress his trembling fingertips.
It was not a dream, I really returned to my own world.
His eyes swept across the dark room and he could see the vague outlines of the items that belonged to him.
But there were lightning and thunder outside, exactly the same as the weather when he left that day. It was a nightmare he would never forget in his life.
He was unsure again, whether what he felt was actually another nightmare. He couldn't remember how many times he had fallen into such a dream, everything in the dream was so real, but after waking up, she was still sleeping peacefully, not even leaving a single word for him.
Panic made him completely lose his mind. He pushed open the door and saw a heavy rain outside. Before he took a step, his clothes were soaked by the rain.
The maid who was walking hurriedly in the corridor was startled: "Master, Master, you are awake. The young lady asked me to remember to tell you that I have gone to the master's courtyard and will be back soon."
I don't know if my son-in-law heard me or not. He walked very quickly and passed by the wooden board in the blink of an eye.
He was wearing plain clothes, and the strong wind blew up his clothes, making him look even thinner. With snowy skin and black hair, he did not look like a real person.
Wen Zhan heard it, otherwise he would not have rushed into the rain and hurried to Lu Jing's yard.
There was only one thought in his mind: I must see him.
So he appeared at the door like a fool on a rainy day, all wet and looking at me timidly.
After meeting Lu Yunchu, he finally felt relieved, but then came worry and panic. He knew how ridiculous he was now, and how annoying he was when he was so uneasy, especially after he came back, he had already caused a lot of trouble for him because of his uneasy mood.
Wen Zhan didn't dare to look at in the eye. He took a step back, feeling so guilty that he felt ashamed.
Suddenly, my hands felt warm.
Lu Yunchu reached out and held his hand, dragging him towards the door, his tone was both helpless and angry: "What are you doing standing outside like an idiot? Don't you think the cold wind is not enough?"
After he was dragged in, Lu Yunchu immediately closed the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.
He finally felt a little cold now.
She pursed her lips tightly, raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yunchu timidly, with a look as if she had been abandoned, and with a slight fear.
Lu Yunchu felt soft-hearted at his look, and really had no way to deal with him. While stripping off his clothes, he knocked on his forehead viciously: "Are you stupid?"
The maid quickly brought clean new clothes and a charcoal basin. Lu Yunchu stripped Wen Zhan of his wet clothes, wrapped him in a blanket, and moved the charcoal basin to his feet.
His frozen body was warmed up and he finally regained his sanity. His brain had shut down due to excessive shame and he just let Lu Yunchu manipulate him in a daze.
She was wrapped in a blanket, with only her face showing. Her eyelashes were still wet with moisture, and her eyes were clear and bright, as if they had been washed by heavy rain.
There was pleading, dependence, and a bit of stubbornness in his eyes. No one could stand such a look. He sat in a triangular shape wrapped in a blanket, with only a pale face and a temperament like a large dog drenched in rain.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lu Yunchu asked, "Are you cold?"
Wen Zhan blinked, and suddenly shuddered. His eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and he shook his head slightly while shivering.
Well, not a large dog, but a cat that dips in water.
Looking at his serious expression, it was definitely a cat.
Wen Zhan shook his head as a response to Lu Yunchu's question.
"Why that expression?"
Wen Zhan lowered his eyes and paused for a moment before saying, "Not...comfortable."
After saying that, he shuddered again, and it was obvious that he was trying hard not to shake his head, but he still shook his head and shoulders.
Lu Yunchu suppressed his smile: "You still know that it's uncomfortable to get wet in the rain." He held his hand and rubbed it to warm it up. "Alas, you really can't live without people."
This made Wen Zhan feel even more guilty. He thought that his irresistible emotions had indeed brought a burden to Lu Yunchu.
But she didn't show any disdain at all and coaxed him patiently. Wen Zhan felt sour in his heart and didn't know what to do.
Wen Zhan, who had been sitting there stupidly like a puppet, suddenly moved down from the bench. Just when Lu Yunchu thought he was doing something, he suddenly squatted down and hugged Lu Yunchu's legs.
Lu Yunchu: ...What a strange action.
"Ah Zhan?"
Wen Zhan's pale face gradually turned red. He leaned his head on Lu Yunchu's knees and explained in a muffled voice: "Hold you... but... wet."
Lu Yunchu understood. He wanted to hug her, but he felt dampness on his body, so he couldn't hug her normally and could only hug her legs.
Lu Yunchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to lift him up, a maid came over from outside, stopped behind the screen and said, "Miss, the bath is ready."
Someone said that, Wen Zhan stood up decisively and stared at the ground with his head down.
Lu Yunchu raised his voice and replied, "Okay, I'll be right over." He pulled Wen Zhan away, "Let's go take a hot bath."
This is the side room that Lu Jing doesn't live in on weekdays. The bathtub is new. As a local emperor, these basic items are always kept in the storage room as spare parts.
He always knew how to enjoy himself, so he asked craftsmen to custom-make the bathtub, which was large and tall. He placed it in a small room with only a high skylight, and it was steaming hot when he got in.
Lu Yunchu said to Wen Zhan, "Stay in the bath for a while longer, and come out when you're sweaty." Then he remembered that he couldn't leave anyone alone, and added, "I'll be waiting for you outside, you can talk to me."
Wen Zhan didn't react. Lu Yunchu was about to go out, but just as he took a step, Wen Zhan grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
Lu Yunchu looked confused: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Wen Zhan looked down, his air as gentle as the breeze and bright as the moon revealed the confusion and fear of being abandoned. His clear eyes were full of pleading, and he spoke with difficulty: "No... leave."
Lu Yunchu was stunned: "Ah?"
He didn't dare to use force, but he didn't let me go. I stepped forward, put my arms around me, rubbed my chin against the top of my head, and repeated: "No... go."
Lu Yunchu blinked. Not leaving? Let me stay with him? Uh... This is not appropriate.
