A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver-white moonlight shrouds the quiet Taoyuan Village.
Xu Wenhe's small courtyard has only two rooms that can live in people. On weekdays, he and Brother Hao share a room and a bed. Now that there are more Tao Ti and Pei Yan, Brother Hao goes to sleep in Xu Wenhe's room, and Pei Yan and Tao Ti live in Brother Hao's room together.
In the countryside, there are not many wide bed brocade quilts. Tao Ti originally thought that the bed in the station was already narrow enough, but Brother Hao's single bed was even narrower than the bed in the station.
Due to his injury, Pei Yan was lying flat. He was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, so he occupied most of the bed by himself.
Seeing Tao Ti standing by the bed without moving, Pei Yan tried to stay close to the bed to make room for her, and said softly, "Ah Ti, I've been tired all day and night, go to bed and rest."
Tao Ti saw that he could fall off the bed with a slight turn, and said quickly, "His Royal Highness, you need to sleep in there. You don't need to make room for me. I'll just sleep on the floor tonight."
Pei Yan frowned, "No."
"It's okay, it's almost May now, and it won't be cold if you spread a quilt on the ground." Tao Ti said in a relaxed tone, "You have wounds on your body, I'm afraid I won't sleep well and hurt you The wound is open, it is better to sleep separately."
Seeing that she was really going to take the bedding and sleep on the ground, Pei Yan struggled to sit up, but the movement was too fast, accidentally touching the wound, and the pain made him groan.
Tao Ti turned her head and saw him in pain, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, lie down quickly."
"Ah Ti, don't sleep on the floor." Pei Yan squeezed her wrist, raised her head, her beautiful peach eyes seemed to be full of starlight, and under the faint candlelight, she was glowing with heart-pounding brilliance.
Tao Ti shook her head, blinking her black eyes of Shui Lingling, "...Okay, okay."
After she finished speaking, she realized that she said "yes"? ?
What a ghost, with such a small bed, is it possible that she should sleep on top of him
Alas, it's all because of the seductive male sex, which fascinated her for a while.
Seeing her agreeing, Pei Yan's brows and eyes slowly opened, and his smile was gentle, "Then blow out the candles, let's rest."
Tao Ti glanced at the embarrassing little bed, and sighed softly, "Yes."
Unlike in the palace, when you go to bed, the embroidered curtains can still reveal a faint light. In this small village, there are no curtains, only thin green gauze curtains. dark.
Tao Ti carefully climbed onto the bed from the foot of the bed, for fear of accidentally touching his wound.
When she curled up and lay down—
Lying flat is very difficult, can only sleep on the side.
She gently adjusted her sleeping position, facing the wall at first, but soon, she smelled the musty smell coming from the dark yellow and blue wall.
Although she tried her best to ignore the damp musty smell, her face was too close to the wall, and the smell went straight into her nose, giving her the feeling of being in a dungeon.
Just when she was about to be unable to hold back, a hand suddenly wrapped her shoulders and turned her in a different direction.
"What are you holding your breath for? I'm not afraid to suffocate myself." The man's melodious and deep voice came.
In the dark, Tao Ti couldn't see, but she judged that Pei Yan was very close to him at the moment based on the warm breath brushing her cheeks. She answered indiscriminately, "No, I didn't hold my breath..."
Her back was pressed tightly against the cold wall, trying to create some distance between the two of them, at least not sticking. It's just that the bed is too small, and it's really hard for her to squeeze out more space, and her body still inevitably touches some.
Fortunately, it was dark all around, and I couldn't see anything, which slightly reduced the sense of embarrassment.
After being quiet for a while, Pei Yan said softly, "Ah Ti, it was so dangerous last night, why did you rush up? If it wasn't for your luck to fall into the water, your life might be in danger."
Listening to this question, Tao Ti was silent for a moment, and then said, "Seeing that you are in danger, I subconsciously want to save you. Do you need a reason to save someone?"
Pei Yan, "..."
"If there must be a reason, it is probably because human life is very precious. A person has only one life in this life, and if it is gone, it is gone..." Tao Ti added.
Pei Yan pursed her lips, her mood of anticipation turned somewhat depressed for some reason. He considered for a moment, and then asked, "So, if the person who was assassinated was not Gu, but someone else, you would rush forward regardless of everything?"
Tao Ti choked.
But the bottom of my heart immediately gave the answer: Of course not.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Your Highness, you are different from other people."
Pei Yan's heart beat violently, but his tone remained calm, "It's different."
Tao Ti's body couldn't help but tense up, and her voice became quieter, like a mosquito humming, "Just...Your Highness, you have always taken care of me like this, and we are friends again..."
friend? Pei Yan couldn't help laughing.
He could feel that the little girl beside him was shrinking into a ball. If he kept asking, she might not be able to have a good rest tonight. Thinking of her tired look during the day, Pei Yan didn't break the casserole and ask the end.
Unexpectedly, after a short period of silence, the little girl timidly said, "Your Highness, tell me... will the Orion's body be found today?"
Pei Yan was slightly stunned. If she didn't mention it, he would have almost forgotten about it.
He said, "It shouldn't be discovered so quickly. Even if we do, others will not be able to do anything to us."
Compared to killing Orion, Pei Yan was more concerned about Tao Ti's impression of him.
Thinking of her terrified look, he said in a deep voice, "Ah Ti, killed that Orion alone today, do you feel lonely... cruel?"
Thinking of that Orion's ugly face, Tao Ti became furious like a puffer fish, and said sullenly, "No way! That person deserves it! If your Highness hadn't acted in time, I would have killed him too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately shut up angrily.
How can I yell and kill in front of Pei Yan, this is not gentle and elegant at all!
Pei Yan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and chuckled twice.
After a while, he said softly, "You won't alienate Gu because of this matter, so Gu can rest assured."
"No, that's how you should deal with bad guys. I appreciate you before it's too late."
"You don't need to be grateful. If you want to say kindness, you saved Gu's life on the boat, so Gu should be grateful to you."
"Hey, don't worry, I actually didn't help much... Speaking of which, I even caused you to fall into the water, and it was like a drifting bottle, drifting for more than forty miles..." After talking, Her voice gradually became quieter, becoming an indistinct murmur.
Pei Yan only heard the first half of her sentence, and said in a serious tone, "You should take the grace of saving your life to heart... How does Gu Xiang want to repay you?"
Tao Ti, "No need."
Pei Yan, "Why don't you promise me with your body?"
Tao Ti, "???"
Did she hallucinate, or did Pei Yan lose his mind
Tao Ti was full of surprise, thought for a while, stretched out her hand to touch Pei Yan's forehead, and muttered softly, "It's not hot anymore, why are you still talking nonsense?"
Pei Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Doesn't Atimo dislike loneliness?"
Tao Ti thought to herself, how can you? With your conditions, you need to have a good figure, a good face, a family background, a talent and a gentle personality, and you have never lost your temper or said a serious word to her In other words, her parents don't have such patience... It would be unreasonable to be rejected.
It's just that a physical promise or something sounds beautiful, but in fact... between the two of them, it's simply impossible.
He is a human being with a short life span of only two years.
And she is a protoss, if she didn't take the initiative to choose to sleep, she would be immortal.
Isn't there a classic line in the storybook called Shemale/Human God Different Way? They were not on the same path at all.
Even if she likes him, so what.
Tao Ti's long eyelashes drooped, and she said with a smirk, "Your Highness, stop joking, it's getting late, should you go to bed early?"
Pei Yan was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "...OK."
Both of them fell silent, only a few insects could be heard outside the window.
Tao Ti was thinking about what Pei Yan said, her mind was in a mess, but she was so tired that she fell into a drowsy sleep not long after.
Pei Yan felt the body next to her relax, and pulled her into his arms, tucking her under the corner of the quilt.
He pressed his chin against her hair, and sighed very lightly, "Little fool, I'm not kidding you."
The person in his arms didn't respond, only the sound of even breathing.
...
Tao Ti was awakened by a loud rooster crowing. The big rooster in the countryside wakes up early and has a bright voice, and the awakening effect is excellent.
She looked up sleepily, and there was a dim light from the window, it was obviously still early.
She was planning to lie down and go back to sleep, when she suddenly found that something was wrong with the person beside her
Under the twilight, Pei Yan's cold white skin had an unnatural redness, his thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.
Tao Ti raised her hand to put on his forehead, and the drowsiness disappeared without a trace.
Oops, why is it burning again!
She hurriedly sat up and called softly, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Under her call, Pei Yan weakly opened his eyes, which were still a little moist, and said "um" in a hoarse voice.
Tao Ti worried, "You have a fever again... I'll go find Uncle Xu!"
She hurriedly got up and dressed quickly, but her black hair was hanging down, and she didn't know how to comb it, so she pulled a rope and tied it up casually.
Walking out the door, the door opposite was still closed tightly. Tao Ti looked up, the sky was dim, and it was estimated to be around four o'clock in the morning, and the moon was still in the sky.
She walked to the opposite door, just about to knock on the door, but her hand stopped in mid-air—
She and Pei Yan had already troubled Uncle Xu's grandson and grandson enough. It didn't seem good if they disturbed their rest this early in the morning.
After a moment of hesitation, she decided to help Pei Yan cool down first. The old man always gets up early, it is estimated that at most half an hour, old man Xu should also get up.
After making up her mind, Tao Ti hurried to the kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, poured a bowl of light salt water, poured the rest into the washbasin, mixed it with shochu, and put it aside to cool.
"Your Highness, drink some light salt water first." Tao Ti bent over, put her arm through the back of his neck, lifted him up a little, and quickly stuffed a pillow down.
Two nights and a day passed, and Pei Yan's lips had a new green stubble, making him look haggard. Although he still has a fever, his mind is much firmer than ordinary people, and he still has consciousness at the moment.
Tao Ti fed him one spoon at a time, and he drank along with it.
After feeding a bowl of light salt water, Tao Ti got up and tried the temperature of the water in the tub, it was neither hot nor cold, just right.
She brought the basin to the bed, looked at Pei Yan who was half lying and half leaning, pursed her lips, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I'll help you wipe your body to cool down, and you need to take off your clothes... I'm not taking advantage of you... "
Pei Yan half closed his eyes, didn't speak, and let her dictate.
Tao Ti held her breath, unbuttoned his pajamas, gently lifted, and the mermaid line of pectoral and abdominal muscles appeared in front of her eyes again...
What a pleasing scene.
She thought inappropriately, and quickly remembered the business, twisted up the towel, and wiped his body for him.
She stared, avoiding the dressing, and carefully wiped his arms, neck, chest, thighs, calves... His body was very hot, and she could feel his hot body through a thin towel heat.
After wiping, a doubt popped up in her heart, wasn't Pei Yan weak and sick since childhood, so why is his figure still in such a good shape
These pectoral and abdominal muscles are not something that can be obtained by just practicing casually...
She was contemplating when her wrist was suddenly clasped.
Tao Ti was startled, and looked at Pei Yan with dark eyes, innocent and confused, "...?"
Pei Yan's peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be distracted while wiping."
After speaking, he let go of her hand.
Tao Ti was still a little dazed, until she saw Pei Yan's pajamas that were about to be pushed to the key parts by her, and her hand on his flat belly—
Ahhh, die, die, die!
With a bang, her fair little face turned completely red.
"Yes, yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." She lowered her head and stammered.
"It's okay." Pei Yan said hoarsely.
Next, Tao Ti wiped him as quickly as possible, and quickly escaped with the wooden basin.
outside.
Xu Wenhe also got up, and was a little surprised to see Tao Ti come out of the room in a hurry.
Tao Ti was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Wenhe got up, and quickly told about Pei Yan's fever.
After listening to Tao Ti's words, Xu Wenhe walked into the left wing.
Seeing that Pei Yan's clothes were messy, his chest was slightly open, and there were still some water marks on the ground, he also guessed what was going on, and joked with a smile, "No wonder Miss Tao's face is so red, she wiped your body for you. "
Pei Yan didn't answer the words, but just greeted him politely.
Xu Wenhe showed it to him, and he knew it well. After he came out of the house, he made a new prescription and gave it to Tao Ti to boil.
Tao Ti hurriedly lit the stove, boiled the medicine, wiped her hands on the apron, and asked Xu Wenhe anxiously, "Uncle Xu, didn't my husband's fever go down yesterday, why did he have a fever again today? Could it be related to his constitution?" ? He accidentally fell into the water when he was a child, and he has been in poor health since then... "
Xu Wenhe glanced at the faint black eyes under her eyes, feeling emotional in his heart, hesitant to speak. In the end, I chose to lie, "Yes, it has something to do with his weak constitution. Of course, the main reason is wound infection, which causes high fever... But don't worry, as long as you drink the old man's medicine and take a good rest, you will be fine." .”
Only then did Tao Ti feel relieved, thanked Xu Wenhe, and smiled, "Then I'll make breakfast first, and I can eat when Brother Hao wakes up."
When it came to food, Xu Wenhe stroked his white beard and smiled a lot, "Okay, okay, cook more."
Tao Ti agreed, turned and went into the kitchen.
After the medicine was cooked, Xu Wenhe took the initiative to send the medicine to Pei Yan in order not to disturb Tao Ti's cooking.
...
Brother Hao was awakened by the smell of breakfast, he put on his clothes and ran out, looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and let out a happy "wow".
On the square table, there is a large bowl of golden millet pumpkin porridge in the middle, fried tofu balls, pan-fried leek boxes, fried sauerkraut with diced radish, and two large plates of soup dumplings. , the steaming hot dishes are delicious and mouth-watering.
Xu Wenhe rushed Brother Hao to wash up, and he put a soup dumpling in the bowl, "Miss Tao, this is also a steamed stuffed bun? How can you make this skin so thin? It looks so exquisite and clear, and the folds are like flowers." It's like, it's so pretty."
"This is a soup dumpling, and its characteristic is that the skin is thin and the stuffing is thick." Tao Ti pushed a plate of balsamic vinegar in front of him, and said with a smile, "You can try the original one first, and then the one dipped in vinegar, each with its own taste. taste."
"Okay, I'll try them all." Xu Wenhe listened to her, took one and put it in his mouth.
The skin of the soup dumpling is very tender and smooth, it breaks after a little bite, and the delicious and rich soup inside flows out all at once, filling the whole mouth like a rush, it is so fresh that the eyebrows are about to fall off! Especially the meat stuffing, which is fragrant but not loose, oily but not greasy in the mouth, if it is dipped in some vinegar, the sour vinegar will neutralize the oil of the meat stuffing, and the taste will be even more refreshing.
"Okay, okay, it's really good!" Xu Wenhe was full of praise, and picked up another one, eating with relish.
Considering Pei Yan's situation, Tao Ti shared a separate breakfast and planned to bring it to his room.
There were no trays in Xu Wenhe's house, so Tao Ti had to bring them in one by one. When Brother Hao saw it, he got up immediately and helped her deliver it together.
Inside the room, Pei Yan was leaning quietly on the bed, the soft morning sunlight shone through the wooden windows and slanted on her body, making his already handsome side face clear and gentle.
"Are you hungry?" Tao Ti walked over, laying out breakfast, and said, "I made some light and easy to digest, and the leek box is greasy, so I didn't bring it for you. The fried tofu balls and filling You can eat more soup dumplings, and this pumpkin porridge, I boiled it for half an hour, it is thick and thick, very healthy."
Pei Yan said, "Ah Ti, my chest hurts and I'm still a little weak. I'm afraid I can't move my chopsticks..."
Tao Ti was stunned, and looked at him in surprise and worry, "Is it so serious?"
"Um."
Pei Yan's voice was gentle and hoarse, with a provocative little laziness, "So, can I trouble you to feed me?"
He raised his head, and from Tao Ti's standing point of view, his beautiful peach eyes looked rounder, the corners of the eyes drooped a bit, the pupils were pitch black, and the pupils were bright, somewhat pitiful like dog's eyes. Coupled with his pale face, and his slightly pursed light-colored thin lips, it's really... I feel sorry for him!
Tao Ti swallowed unconsciously, she couldn't stand it at all!
"Okay, okay, I'll feed you." She nodded, turned to Brother Hao and said, "Brother Hao, go out and eat with your grandpa first."
Brother Hao looked at Pei Yan, with small eyes and big doubts, "...?"
His condition was worse yesterday, he gave him the medicine himself, he took it with one hand, and drank quite well. Why did you have to be fed after a day of recuperation? I really don't understand.
