Tang Ning was stunned for a moment when he saw this.
Was it their first meeting in half a year? When he heard Gengxi say that they were planning to get married, and when he saw their house with obvious signs of cohabitation, he thought they had been together for at least two years.
Tangning looked through the time in her memo and found that the love between "Tangning" and Gengxi was really like a rocket. They fell in love at first sight, and after a week of flirting, they confessed their love and got together. In the first month of knowing each other, they were busy decorating their new house. In the middle of the month, they moved into the new house and planned to get married.
"Xiao Ning." Geng Xi's voice came from behind him. Tang Ning immediately turned off his phone. He turned around and saw Geng Xi, who had just finished his shower, walking out in a bathrobe. A drop of water fell from the butterfly tattoo on his earlobe. The faint light of the silver butterfly made him feel a little dizzy.
"I've prepared the water for you. Be careful when you wash it. Remember to let the wound on your neck touch the water." Geng Xi gave him a few instructions and then asked, "Do you really need me to help you wash it?"
Tang Ning came to his senses and was a little hesitant.
Tang Ning had a psychological trauma from the bathroom in the dungeon world. If he was left alone in the bathroom, he was really afraid of encountering something good. Tang Ning was making a fuss. He had just checked the game forum and found that in the card world, the chances of encountering ghosts in places like the bathroom were higher.
Tangning's real hesitation was to ask Du Feng to come and accompany him.
After all, he was sure that Gengxi was really a deterrent to ghosts.
"What's wrong?" Geng Xi held Tang Ning's face in his hands. His hands were still slightly damp as he gently stroked her face. "You've been here since you came from Miaojiang, and you're distracted all the time. Are you still scared?"
Tang Ning looked towards Gengxi.
He approached that handsome face like a dangerous snake, his forehead dripping with water pressed against Tang Ning's. Geng Xi's nose caressed Tang Ning's nose affectionately, "The driver's death today was indeed bizarre. I'm also scared to think that Xiao Ning had been with a person like that for a week."
Is Gengxi also afraid
But in the series of events that happened tonight, except for the fact that Geng Xi felt a little scared when he saw the wound on his neck, Geng Xi's expression was very calm when he saw Huang Tianshen's bloody body, the yellow water flowing from the driver's ears, or the strange surveillance at the police station.
It was this kind of calmness that made Tang Ning certain that Gengxi was just an ordinary person.
A deep and pleasant voice flowed past Tangning's ears like flowing water, "So I'll give Xiaoning a protective item, okay?"
Protection
Tang Ning took off the plain bracelet on Gengxi's hand and said, "This is the protective bracelet my family asked for for me. I'm giving it to you. It will protect you from now on."
Geng Xi said as he was about to put the bracelet on Tang Ning's hand.
"Stop!" Du Feng's voice suddenly rang out. Tang Ning was startled by Du Feng's shout. His hands shook and he almost knocked the bracelet off Geng Xi's hand.
Du Feng walked over quickly. He had obviously just washed up and took off his exotic clothes. He was bare-chested with a white bathrobe tied around his narrow waist.
He was really tall, and he walked towards him with an imposing manner like a big dog crossing a river. He squinted his eyes and stared at the bracelet in Gengxi's hand, and a little anxiety appeared in his narrow eyes.
Tang Ning followed Du Feng's gaze and looked at the bracelet in Geng Xi's hand. It was a very thin silver bracelet with no patterns or adjustment rings.
Any problem with the bracelet
"Don't take things that suit your hand casually." Du Feng said coldly.
Indeed, this bracelet is just the right size for Gengxi, but it would be a size too big for Tangning.
Geng Xi held the bracelet in his hand and gestured vaguely. He suddenly moved the bracelet downwards and his eyes fell on Tang Ning's ankle. Tang Ning was so delicate that he even wanted to play with his exposed ankle. "If I wear it on Xiao Ning's foot, it should be just right."
Wear it on your feet
Tang Ning subconsciously took a small step back.
The thinnest part of his ankle could fit the bracelet, but in order to put the bracelet on, it had to pass through the sole of the foot first.
How can I go there? It hurts so much just thinking about it.
Geng Xi withdrew his affectionate and deep gaze from his feet, raised his head, and smiled briefly, "It's a pity that it's hard to wear."
Tang Ning was a little flustered. He dared not look at Geng Xi, and turned to look at Du Feng, only to find that Du Feng was also lowering his feet.
This caused Tang Ning, who had unconsciously pointed his toes toward Du Feng, to step back slightly.
Both of them turned to Tang Ning.
Tangning smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "My Dai'er is going to take a shower. Can you two stand at the door? I'll feel more at ease when there are more people around."
Geng Xi told Du Feng this, and neither of them had any objection.
Tang Ning took his change of clothes and went to the bathroom. He didn't dare to look in the mirror or stay there for long. He quickly finished his shower in three minutes. He suddenly opened the door and nervously checked to see if the two people outside were still there.
The people outside were also staring at Tang Ning. She hadn't wiped the water off her body properly, so her fair and rosy skin was surrounded by a faint white mist, and her clear eyes were also misty. Tang Ning, who had just finished taking a shower, made people want to pinch her and squeeze out water.
"How did you wash so quickly?" Geng Xi picked up the large towel that he had prepared earlier and wrapped the wet Tang Ning in it, not wanting to give any of it to anyone else.
Tang Ning's heart was still pounding. It felt like a century had passed since he was alone in the bathroom. His throat was injured when he spoke. Tang Ning was afraid that he might get hurt, so he didn't even say "help".
Now that he has spoken, Gengxi can continue the whole conversation alone. "Remember to dry your hair, otherwise it will hurt easily."
As he spoke, he wrapped Tangning tightly in a large towel and led her to the master bedroom.
Tang Ning passed Du Feng. Du Feng's restraint just now made him feel nervous, and the sense of uneasiness had not diminished until now.
Why did Du Feng stop him from wearing the bracelet? Would it be good for him to wear the bracelet? If so, was Geng Xi harming him
Tang Ning was a little brave enough to be alone with Geng Xi, but letting Du Feng sleep in their guest room was already a concession from Geng Xi. If he really let Du Feng sleep on the floor in their room, Geng Xi would definitely be angry.
Although Geng Xi had always been gentle to Tang Ning, once Tang Ning thought about the possibility that Geng Xi might get angry, the lingering peace in his heart even gave rise to a hint of fear.
With her slender arms wrapped around his waist, Geng Xi's deep voice rang into Tang Ning's ears, "Walk and walk."
Tang Ning turned around quickly.
Du Feng stared at Tang Ning and Geng Xi's departing backs until the door was completely closed.
The master bedroom was large and the bed was very soft. When Tang Ning was pushed onto the bed, his entire body bounced slightly and the towel wrapped around him fell apart. He had come out in a hurry and his bathrobe was not tied tightly. After such a big move, the loose bathrobe slipped down, revealing a piece of his snow-white shoulder.
Under the warm yellow light, the round shoulders were dazzlingly white.
Tang Ning adjusted her bathrobe in a panic, crossing her legs which could not be covered.
Geng Xi took in the whole scene, his eyes darkened, and his voice became gentler: "Don't put it on, just like that, I like it."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, and his hands froze as he was about to lift up the bathrobe that had fallen off his shoulders. Geng Xi's request was not excessive at all for a couple, and he even thought of a reason to reject her.
Afraid of the cold? But the room was already air-conditioned.
Tang Ning placed his hands on his shoulders blankly and looked at Geng Xi timidly, wanting to know what the other party would ask for next.
"Take good care of your feet, too?" Gengxi's tone was gentle, and her expression was gentle. Her amber eyes reminded people of solidified honey. "It's been a long time since I touched Xiaoning's feet."
This request also seems excessive.
Tang Ning hesitated for a moment, and then his feet, which he had carefully hidden under the scarf, were revealed. The soles of Tang Ning's feet were pink, and each of his nails was like a shell. Under Geng Xi's deep gaze, Tang Ning couldn't help but curl up his toes.
He actually knew very well what was good about feet.
but
The wet eyes looked at Gengxi timidly, as if saying "I have been very obedient, why don't you hurt me?" Gengxi's throat moved.
The room was very quiet.
"Xiao Ning, lie down." Geng Xi stood and looked down at Tang Ning. He was backlit from this angle and his face was covered in heavy shadows. Even with that gentle expression on his face, the dangerous aura could no longer be concealed.
In fact, Gengxi is also very tall.
He is even as good as Du Feng, but his appearance is so handsome and elegant that people always subconsciously ignore this fact.
Tang Ning knew that he had to lie down obediently. His heart was beating wildly. He even regretted that he had been too obedient just now, as if he had given the other party an opportunity to take advantage of him.
"I'm going to apply ointment on you. The wound on your neck hasn't been treated yet." Geng Xi lowered his head, and a glimmer of light danced in his amber eyes. "It will be a bit painful to apply the ointment. I'm afraid you won't be able to sit still."
Tang Ning's chest rose and fell slightly, and he lay down hesitantly.
As expected, Gengxi went to get the ointment. The bed was very soft and comfortable to lie on. Tang Ning lay there obediently for a while and then went to Gengxi to get a box of ointment.
The ointment that Gengxi made himself has no trademark.
Originally, Gengxi was going to take him to the hospital for this injury, but it was too late when they came out of the police station and Tang Ning was very sleepy. In addition, Du Feng said that it was useless to go to the hospital for this kind of injury, so Gengxi did not mention going to the hospital.
Tangning smelled a pleasant medicinal aroma.
The ointment landed on Geng Xi's fingertips. Even though Geng Xi had applied the ointment very gently, Tang Ning still broke into a cold sweat due to her delicate body.
His slender fingers clenched the quilt tightly, and his trembling eyelashes were like butterfly wings. Tang Ning wanted to apply the medicine, but he made a sound at the moment.
"Bear with it for a while, it will be over soon." Geng Xi's fingertips rubbed Tang Ning's neck. The marks from being pinched had turned from red to purple-blue, which was extremely scary.
One leg was bent unbearably.
The movements of his hands did not stop, but the low and gentle voice was full of pity, "How pitiful, even if it hurts, you can still scream."
Tang Ning turned aside and buried half of her face in the pillow. Physiological tears fell like pearls from a broken string, leaving a small stain on the pillow.
The last bit was also smeared with ointment. Geng Xi leaned over and kissed the tear marks on Tang Ning's corner.
"It's okay, baby."
With the hand still scented with ointment, Geng Xi turned off the light. He hugged Tang Ning, who was still trembling slightly. He stroked Tang Ning's back, comforting her again and again.
Tang Ning wanted to push Geng Xi away, but he really didn't have much strength, and Geng Xi held him too tightly, in a strong, unbreakable hug.
That night, Tang Ning had a dream.
He dreamed of a poisonous snake coiled around him, flicking its tongue and moving around his body, as if it was choosing where to bite him.
The sharp fangs oozing with venom sank into his lower back.
When Tang Ning woke up the next morning, he still remembered the nightmare. His heart was beating violently. Fear was like a poisonous snake wrapped around him, making his waist weak and sore. Tang Ning frowned in pain and subconsciously reached out to touch his lower back.
Tang Ning felt a small wound.
