Chapter 21 Chapter 21

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Xibai returned to the dormitory.

When he went upstairs, a team of workers came down carrying a large pile of disassembled wooden frames. He glanced at them and felt that they looked familiar, but did not think much about it.

Until he entered the dormitory door, he found that the corridor seemed to be a little narrower than when he went out this morning.

Then Gu Chi's bed was a little wider.

Xibai:?

Gu Chi was holding a towel and wiping the wooden railings. Seeing Xibai coming back, he stopped his work.

"Happy Winter Solstice, Xibai."

"I hope you can sleep well every night in the future."

"I also hope you like the gift I bought."

His tone was very calm and serious, so when Xibai realized that his gift was actually the double bed next to him, his first reaction was not to think it was very stupid.

Instead, there was an inexplicable heat in my ears.

Looking at the pajamas Gu Chi was wearing, he should have taken a shower.

The dormitory had already started collective heating, and the temperature in the room was not very low. The tall boy casually wore a set of dark blue pajamas. Although it was made of loose fabric, it still gave the illusion of a slim fit.

Xibai smiled.

"Thank you, Gu Chi."

Xibai went to take a shower, and Gu Chi climbed onto the newly arrived 1m5 bed. He carefully looked at the bed from head to toe, from the overall to the details, and secretly appreciated it in his heart.

In fact, the bed is still a little small, but considering other factors, a smaller bed is also good.

Counting it all, Xibai has been sleeping with him for more than two months.

It's great.

The smile on Gu Chi's lips came to an abrupt end when Xi Bai came out of the bathroom, took the small quilt and pillow from his hand, and climbed onto the old bed opposite him that had not been used for a long time and was standard equipment at North City University.

"Xi Bai?"

Xi Bai heard obvious doubt in Gu Chi's tone. He sat on the soft cushion that felt a little unfamiliar. When he raised his head, he found that the other person's eyes seemed to be saying: Did you climb into the wrong bed?

Xi Bai lowered his eyes.

He seemed to struggle for a while, and finally just lay down and pulled the quilt beside him to cover himself.

"I'll sleep here."

Staring at the thin back, Gu Chi heard Xi Bai's muffled voice.

He felt depressed when he heard it.

But at this moment, Xibai didn't have the energy to feel his roommate's emotions.

He had already used up all his strength just by coming back from the teaching building, walking into the bathroom to take a shower, and finally dragging his body onto his bed.

Xibai was very cold and in pain.

The chill penetrated his bones, and even though he had already found all his warm clothes and quilts, put them on and covered himself up, it still couldn't dissipate even a little.

This is an old problem.

The horoscope is extremely yin, and can hear the voices of ghosts... This sounds powerful, but it is not without a price.

People living in the Yang world, if their own yin is too heavy, will inevitably bring bad effects.

What Xibai experienced was that he would suffer from the bone-biting cold every winter solstice. Since he was a child, Xibai had thought of countless ways to solve the problem. After meeting Zhuang Suan, the latter racked his brains to ask for him.

But nothing changed.

The coldness was like a silver needle with a thread, piercing through the bone marrow and pulling it out from the cracks in the bones.

Xibai's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he curled up in the heavy quilt and clothes. It was dark all around, and there was no other movement. He didn't know whether Gu Chi was asleep or not.

Half asleep and half awake, a layer of frost quietly covered Xibai's eyelashes. If there was light at this moment, one could see that his cheeks had long been frozen and bloodless, and his lips were also cold and white. In addition, he was thin to begin with, and at this moment he looked exactly like a snowman.

It was so cold...

Why? It didn't seem to be this cold in previous years.

Was it because he had been with Gu Chi all this time, and had gotten used to the large dog beside him who was as warm as a little sun?

Xi Bai was already hallucinating from the cold, and he felt like he saw Gu Chi.

The boy was tall, with broad shoulders, and the temperature of his body was even more familiar, hot and warm, reassuring.

Gu Chi stood in the bright and warm sunlight of the summer evening, looking at him with a smile, a sunny, energetic smile, and as he smiled, he turned into the smiling big dog that the two of them often smiled at when they chatted.

It looked so fluffy and soft, and he really wanted to hug it.

Xibai thought so and really did so.

It was not until he really hugged a strong and firm waist that was emitting hot body temperature, and his cheeks were pressed against the firm abdominal muscles through his pajamas, and he could even feel the undulating muscle contours, that Xibai slowly regained some consciousness.

He raised his head.

The corner of the quilt was lifted from the side, and a familiar pine scent came in directly with a warm touch.

The next moment, Xibai was hugged by someone, and he felt like he had run into a pine forest with the warm winter sun. Gu Chi's voice rang in his ears, with a strong sense of heartache and pity.

"Xibai."

Xibai was forcefully embraced in a hot and reassuring embrace. The moment the hot breath hit his neck, the white frost on his eyelashes and eyebrows retreated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Xibai, you are shaking."

Gu Chi said distressedly.

Really, am I shaking? Yes

, it's so cold, I will definitely shake.

Xibai's brain was already a little unclear, but this time it was not frozen, but caused by the drowsiness from a sleepless night.

In addition, he felt like he was soaking in ice in the first half of the night, and now he seemed to be picked up and put into a hot spring. The relaxation like a survivor made the tiredness even stronger. Almost instinctively chasing the cold pine scent that made him feel at ease, Xibai's head leaned to the side.

He rested his head on Gu Chi's chest and fell asleep in a few breaths.

The dormitory returned to the ultimate silence.

The melted frost turned into crystal drops, hanging on the eyelashes, making them look even more slender, and also made Gu Chi feel that the delicate and petite person in his arms looked even more fragile.

Gu Chi's movements were almost cautious, and he held the person a little tighter in his arms.

In fact, he didn't need to hold her, because Xibai, who was sleeping, could feel the heat and leaned into Gu Chi's arms.

So good.

So good Xibai.

Clingy Xibai, very clingy, kept burrowing into his arms.

Small and curled up.

So cute.

I like her.

As if possessed, a few sentences kept coming back and forth in his mind.

Gu Chi's eyelids drooped, his pupils were as dark as ink, and the faint light from the window seemed to be deliberately driven away.

At this moment, his eyes could only accommodate a small figure.

There was no room for anything to compete with Xi Bai.

Gu Chi suddenly felt that the beds in the school were not bad.

When he hugged Xi Bai tightly, the width was just right.

The black gradually covered the area of ​​the white of the eye until it occupied the entire pupil.

Because he was too excited, Gu Chi couldn't even maintain his human form at this moment, revealing his true appearance as the ghost king.

His eyes were like an unfathomable abyss, with a faint red light flashing, and finally the light and shadow stretched to become a vertical red line.

Like the eyes of some beast.

Gu Chi stared at Xi Bai's snow-white and beautiful neck.

He couldn't help licking his lips.
