Zi Lan stared at Xue Li feeding the medicine to his mouth. He could meet Xue Li's clear eyes and smell the elegant herbal scent on her body.
Zi Lan took a sip unconsciously, but then her face turned red.
The tips of his ears turned slightly red. He felt embarrassed to let Xueli feed him again, so he dodged slightly and took the spoon, saying, "I'll do it myself."
Seeing that he had the strength to pick up the spoon himself, Xueli did not insist and handed the bowl to him, saying, "Okay, then you can eat it yourself."
Zi Lan: “…”
Zi Lan obediently took the bowl and spoon and started drinking sip by sip.
He had been sleeping for so long in a room with so many stoves on, and his mouth was dry and his throat was so dry that it was burning. Even the medicine for nourishing the body tasted moist and sweet. Xueli didn't know what she used in the medicine soup, which had a refreshing taste, slightly bitter but not difficult to drink.
Zi Lan glanced at Xue Li, only to see her sitting happily at the head of the bed, watching him take medicine while wagging her tail unconsciously.
Zi Lan was shy in front of Xue Li, his eyes flickered, and then he asked calmly, "Have you been here with me all the time?"
"Um!"
Xue Li nodded and said, "You have been sleeping for three days. I, the Wolf King and the Wolf Queen, and several medical immortals are all looking after you, but we take turns most of the time."
"Thanks."
When Zi Lan heard that Xue Li had been here guarding him, he couldn't help but feel moved.
He paused for a moment, then asked gently, "About when can I leave the house?"
Xueli said: "Don't worry, just take a good rest for two days."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Zi Lan was sweating profusely, and couldn't help asking, "Are you still hot? How about removing another stove?"
In this season, a small heater is actually more than enough. Even the winter in the fairy world is not that harsh. It is really a waste of resources to put up so many divine fire stoves.
However, Zi Lan calmed down and shook his head, "No, it's fine this way."
He was obsessed with this kind of heat, which was something he had never experienced in his past life, and he cherished it even though it was uncomfortable.
He tilted his head and looked at the red fire cauldron in the room, his expression a little dazed.
However, Xueli saw through his thoughts and advised: "Don't be too nervous. There will be many warm days in the future, not just today."
As she spoke, Xue Li wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Zi Lan immediately realized that he was not the only one who was feeling hot. Xue Li was also feeling hot with him. He immediately regretted not turning down the stove immediately. Xue Li immediately convinced him and he quickly changed his words and said, "Then just remove the stove and turn it down like in the other rooms."
Xue Li didn't quite agree with this decision: "But there's still some residual coldness in your body that hasn't been cleared. You're still a little different from ordinary people at the moment."
Zi Lan shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I want to adapt in advance."
Xueli thought about it and felt that it should be no big deal, so she happily dragged her tail to ask the wolf officer for help in removing the stove.
When Xue Li came back, Zi Lan had already finished drinking the medicine.
Xue Li went over to collect the bowls. Zi Lan didn't feel comfortable bothering her with everything, so he tried to avoid her and stood up to put them away. However, his movement just brushed against Xue Li's fingertips, and he froze for a moment.
Zi Lan reached out and grabbed Xue Li's hand, as if he had touched something incredible. He was lost in thought for a moment, and unconsciously said slowly, "... It's so warm."
It had never happened before, he felt so warm just by touching someone else's skin. He had felt the warmth of Xueli's body before, but never as clearly as at this moment.
After a long while, Zi Lan suddenly realized that he was holding Xue Li's hand, and this action was a bit abrupt and impolite.
Xue Li's hands were smaller than his, with delicate skin and cute, rounded nails. One could tell they were girls' hands just by touching them.
Zi Lan let go of her in a panic and said, "Sorry."
Xue Li's hand was suddenly grabbed by Zi Lan, and her heart skipped a beat.
Her heart was still beating wildly at this moment, and she hastily took her hand back, put it on her chest, and shook her head: "It's okay."
After a pause, she said shyly, "I'll go call the wolf king and queen over!"
After saying that, Xue Li turned around and ran away.
When Xue Li ran out of the house, Zi Lan stared at his hands in a daze, and unconsciously closed his fingers again, recalling the touch he had just felt.
This time it wasn’t because of the temperature, but because of the closeness of their skin at that moment.
…
A few days later, with Xueli's consent, Zi Lan was allowed to go for a walk outdoors with someone accompanying him.
Zi Lan has not fully recovered yet, because the impact of the cold evil was too great, and there is still a small amount of residual cold in his body. At present, he can only walk outside the house, and his range of activities is even smaller than before. Of course, it is only temporary. However, even if it is only this, Zi Lan can still clearly feel the difference.
It is now almost the twelfth lunar month, and the ground in front of the house is covered with white snow. If it were normal, now would be the most difficult time for Zi Lan to go out. Just opening the window occasionally would feel freezing.
But now, although he also felt cold, this little bit of coldness was like the two fire pots in the house being extinguished in the past. It was far from as cold as the winter in his memory. As soon as he left the house, Zi Lan almost lost consciousness and thought it was spring.
When he left the house, he tried not to wear the white fur coat, but Xue Li held him down and forced the coat on him.
"It's very cold outside now. Even if you don't have a cold, normal people still have to wear fur clothes when going out."
Xueli warned.
She herself did wear a thick cloak.
Seeing this, Zi Lan didn't insist anymore.
They just went out of the house and stood on the porch together to watch the snow. He felt that such coldness was completely bearable, but Xueli was shivering from the cold because she walked from the warm house to the icy and snowy outdoors. She wrapped herself in her cloak and huddled up pitifully, with her ears sticking to her hair.
Zi Lan thought about it, then took off his white fur coat and wrapped it around Xue Li.
Xue Li was smaller than him, and Zi Lan wrapped his fur coat around her. Even though Xue Li was wearing a thick cloak, it still covered almost her entire body. Xue Li was wrapped up in fur, with only her head exposed outside the fur coat.
Zi Lan's white fur coat was specially made and was much warmer than ordinary robes. Moreover, he had been wearing it for so long. As soon as Xue Li wrapped herself in the fur coat, she immediately felt incomparable warmth.
But she asked a patient to give her the clothes. Xue Li felt a little flustered when she put them on. She looked up at Zi Lan and wanted to return the fur coat to him.
However, as soon as Xue Li looked up, she saw Zi Lan take out an exquisite little wooden box from his sleeve.
"This is for you."
Zi Lan said.
He spoke anxiously.
This was originally meant to be a gift from Xueli when she gave him the leaves of the Yan tree a long time ago. Xueli also gave him a sachet she made herself, and he wanted to give it to Xueli as a return gift.
Zi Lan originally planned to give Xue Li this gift that could be preserved for a long time when he gave her peaches and herbs, but he couldn't choose well. Because Xue Li made the sachet by herself, he also wanted to make something for Xue Li, but he found that he was clumsy and broke several of them. In the end, he specially invited a craftsman to make it. The craftsman finished it yesterday and secretly gave it to Xue Li when no one was around.
As a result, herbs and peaches had already been sent to Xue Li several times, but this most thoughtful return gift had not been given to Xue Li until now.
This is a very exquisite little wooden box, made of fragrant wood, carved with flowers and trees, and decorated with pearls and jade. It smells pleasant when you hold it in your hand.
Xue Li was stunned when she saw the box. When she opened it, she found that there was a comb inside.
It is made of spiritual wood, with distinct teeth. The comb body is carved into the shape of a nine-tailed fox lying down with its nine tails spread out like flowing clouds. The carving is extremely exquisite. This comb is placed in an incense box with all kinds of spices under the cushion, so you can smell a faint fragrance when you take it out.
Xue Li was very surprised to receive such an exquisite gift. She played with it in her hands and couldn't let it go.
She asked in surprise: "Why do you suddenly want to send me off?"
Seeing that Xueli liked it, Zilan felt relieved and just said, "As long as you like it."
He kept the sachet that Xueli gave him very carefully, but it had been so long since she gave it to him that he was afraid it would seem strange to talk about it now.
Looking at Xue Li's happy expression, he felt extremely satisfied.
The two walked in the snow for a while, and when it was about 3 p.m., Xueli said apologetically, "Wuwu, I'm still studying the immortal language with the teacher. It's almost time for me to go to the lecture."
She paused for a moment, picked up the box and showed it to Zi Lan, saying, "I like this very much! I will definitely cherish it."
Xue Li's common fairy language is now much better than before, and it is already very fluent, but there are still many details that need to be improved. Her wolf fairy language is also getting better and better. Some wolf officers who can only speak the wolf fairy language are gradually able to talk to Xue Li. Although it is not her main medical skill, this course is very important to Xue Li and she is quite interested in it.
Zi Lan saw how happy Xue Li was to receive the gift and how her face flushed. He also felt excited. Zi Lan could understand and said, "Okay."
Xue Li wanted to take off the fur coat and return it to him.
Zi Lan stopped him and said, "No need, just wear it."
Xueli was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Am I going to class wearing your clothes?"
Zi Lan was stunned.
He finally reacted to Xue Li's question. It was fine for the two of them to be together in private, but if Xue Li really wore his fur coat and walked around everywhere, it would seem too intimate. Even married couples would not do this often.
Zi Lan's cheeks suddenly felt like they were burning.
Xue Li shyly took off his white fur coat and gave it back to him. During these one or two sentences, the two of them suddenly became more ambiguous than ever before, and both felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Xueli handed the fur coat to Zilan, tiptoed uneasily, and said, "Then I'll go over there!"
"good."
Zi Lan nodded hurriedly, but didn't know where to look at Xue Li.
Because of this short episode, neither of them cared about the cold. After taking off her fur coat, Xueli wrapped herself in her cloak and ran away quickly, not even noticing the cold wind whistling past her ears.
She ran all the way to the fairy palace where the class was given.
In fact, after taking off Zi Lan's white fur coat, Xue Li really felt a little cold, but fortunately the place where the class was held was not far from their residence, just a few steps away. As soon as Xue Li entered the house, she felt the warmth of the charcoal fire again.
The gentleman was already there, and Xueli said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm late."
"it's okay no problem."
The gentleman was a very kind wolf fairy, dressed like a scholar and had a half-long beard. When he saw Xueli come in, he smiled gently.
She was the only one in the room, and Xue Li sat down in her seat in the middle.
She really liked the comb Zi Lan gave her. Even after returning to the house, she was reluctant to put it down immediately and even held the box in her hand and played with it.
The gentleman saw Xueli playing with a box and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Xueli replied happily: "It's a comb that Zilan just gave me."
"A gift from the young master?"
Hearing that Fairy Xueli actually received the young master's gift, the gentleman was surprised for a moment, but when he saw Xueli's slightly red face and the expression of joy she could not contain as she looked at the wooden box, he couldn't help but understand.
The gentleman stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
He thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, Fairy Xueli has learned the fairy language quite well now. I happen to have some content here. I would like to ask if the fairy has read it and if you can understand it."
Having said that, the gentleman did not pick up his pen, but directly took a few pieces of paper, printed the words on the paper with his magical power, and then handed them to Xue Li to read.
Xue Li took the paper in confusion, thinking that the teacher was testing her as usual, and opened her mouth to read.
The gentleman quickly stopped her and said, "You don't have to read it out loud, just read it."
Xue Li looked at the paper in confusion, only to see that the words on the paper did not seem to be the handwriting that the teacher usually used to annotate her. The handwriting did look a bit like Zi Lan's, but Zi Lan was not here at the moment. Why would the teacher use Zi Lan's handwriting to write to her
The content on the paper is also discontinuous and does not form complete sentences.
You are like light snow.
The moonlight follows the cloud shadows.
One day without seeing you.
These are all fragments of the love letter that Zi Lan wrote at that time. The husband couldn't give her the complete content. It would be meaningless if outsiders revealed the matter between the couple, so he had to test her in this way.
But Xue Li had not read the complete letter, and only saw such discontinuous content, so she naturally felt confused and could not figure out the clues.
Xueli answered truthfully: "I can understand the general meaning, but I have never seen similar sentences before, and I don't understand if there is any deeper meaning in it... Is this an allusion? How about I explain the general meaning, sir, and you can listen to it and see if there is anything wrong?"
“No need.”
The gentleman handed the paper to her with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before. Take these back and study them carefully. It doesn't matter if you take your time."
