Chapter 38 Chapter 38
Gu Chi crossed his hands and supported them on his thighs, keeping the posture, squatting in front of Xi Bai's legs with his face up.
Seeing Xi Bai holding the cotton wool and not moving, he gently tilted his head, "Xi Bai, what's wrong with you?"
His tone and expression were so clean that anyone who had other thoughts would feel that they were betraying Gu Chi.
Xi Bai closed his eyes, not looking at those clean puppy eyes, and cursed in his heart.
What's wrong?
This guy dared to ask!
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't calm his heartbeat, so Xi Bai had to say, "Let's switch, you sit down, I'll apply medicine for you."
He wanted to stand up, but a hand pressed his knees.
The temperature in the palm of his hand directly burned Xi Bai and made him sit back.
Even though the body temperature of the person in front of him was not that hot.
"No need." Gu Chi still looked up and stared at Xi Bai, "Just like this."
As if what he said was not enough, he added: "I like it this way."
His pure eyes seemed to be unable to contain a single lie, leaving no doubt that every word he said was from the heart.
Like, like...
Xi Bai looked at the corners of Gu Chi's lips with a smile, and he tightened the cotton swab in his hand.
"Then, then don't move."
If he continued to mess around, he would not be able to bear it.
"Well." Gu Chi closed his eyes, and the arc of his lips seemed to be a little bigger, "I won't move."
The cotton swab dipped in the liquid medicine gently wiped the wound, and Xi Bai carefully cleaned the half-dried blood.
"Does it hurt?" He couldn't help but ask Gu Chi.
Gu Chi opened his mouth, and Xi Bai saw that his tightly closed eyes seemed to move slightly.
"What if it hurts?"
The squatting boy still looked tall, but the question he asked was like a child with a bit of...coquettishness.
Xi Bai's heart trembled again, and he looked at Gu Chi's closed eyes, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
He kept disinfecting his hands, and spoke in a natural tone.
"If it hurts, I'll blow it on you." Xi Bai said in a dry throat. As
soon as the words fell, his closed eyes opened.
At this moment, Xi Bai almost mistakenly saw his red face that was about to emit hot steam in the reflection of Gu Chi's eyes.
The next moment, the reflection was not very clear. Before Xibai could breathe a sigh of relief, the eyes narrowed again.
Gu Chi adjusted his movements and squatted closer to Xibai. He put his hands on the ground, smiled at Xibai with crooked eyes, and moved his face closer.
Too close!
Amid the fierce heartbeat like the sound of drums, Xibai heard Gu Chi's voice more clearly than before.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
※
The plastic bottle cap of the disinfectant was tightened three times.
Xibai felt that his hands were so clumsy, which was partly due to his brain full of confusion at the moment.
The same was true for his mouth, which was still a little numb from the wound that Gu Chi had just blown.
It was already very late, and the heavy snow was still falling outside the window.
Xibai turned off the light and climbed onto the bed.
There was a rustling sound, and Gu Chi made room for him.
"The quilt is warm." said in the darkness.
Xibai's face turned hot, and he moved over silently, lying down with his head on his hand.
He could hear soft breathing beside his ear, and Xibai sighed silently.
He really didn't know what this person's heart was like.
How could he say so many heart-stirring words with a harmless face, and do so many things that make people's heart beat faster so innocently.
Xibai touched his hot face and closed his eyes.
Maybe what happened tonight was too thrilling, with Gu Chi, the mushroom ghost, and almost falling off a cliff... At this time, his tense nerves finally relaxed after everything was over, and soon, Xibai fell asleep.
But he did not sleep well this time and had a very long dream.
He dreamed that he returned to his childhood and re-experienced some not-so-good memories. Those little friends who were very close to him at the beginning, just like before, treated him as a freak and avoided him as much as possible because he stupidly said that there were ghosts around.
But the dream seemed different.
This time, Xiao Xibai, who left silently with his little ball, was held by someone's hand.
The hand was broad and warm, as if it came from the light. He held Xibai all the way and left the orphanage without leaving many good memories.
The man finally stopped, squatted in front of Xibai, gently raised his hand, and touched his head.
When Gu Chi suddenly opened his eyes, it was already late at night.
He heard the sound beside him, and his consciousness instantly reached forward. When he realized that Xibai was not in the right condition, his hands had already taken the person into his arms.
Xibai shrank in Gu Chi's arms, his body shivering slightly, and his body temperature was very high. Gu Chi clearly felt the difference from before.
Xibai was sick.
Xie Bian said that the human body was different from theirs and was very fragile.
The place to go when you are sick seems to be the hospital.
Gu Chi took out his mobile phone and wanted to find out where the nearest hospital was.
It snowed a lot tonight, and the two of them stayed in the mountains for too long.
In addition, the weather was cold today, Xibai's own constitution was yin, and he faced the mushroom ghost one after another, and he was in close contact with Wuxiang without knowing it.
Too much cold energy hit his body at once, and his cold symptoms recurred.
Gu Chi found the address, picked up Xi Bai and was about to move. However,
the person in his arms seemed to have finally found a heat source that could warm himself up. At this moment, his limbs that had been retracted directly hugged Gu Chi.
Before Gu Chi could react, Xi Bai hugged his neck.
He slightly widened his eyes and lowered his head in disbelief.
Ah, as expected, the person is still asleep.
But it was also with this nod that Gu Chi realized something.
He stared at Xi Bai's not very peaceful sleeping face for a while, turned his face to the side, and slowly lowered his head.
The light-colored thin lips slightly opened under the cover of the night, and the two slightly pointed canine teeth pressed against the delicate and fragile neck skin.
Gu Chi bit it lightly.
There was no blood, but the touch of the cold air was clearly felt, and Gu Chi sucked it into his stomach along the fitting lips and neck.
The cold air circulated along the limbs and bones, and was finally absorbed by the soul.
Although he did not feel any pressure when fighting Wu Xiang, that clone was obviously a suicide squad. In order to hurry back to find Xi Bai, Gu Chi was inevitably injured several times.
He did not care about his injuries. It was normal for ghosts to have their souls injured. He just needed to take some time to rest.
However, he did not expect that the coldness in Xi Bai's body could actually serve as nourishment for his soul.
Of course, nourishment is not important.
Gu Chi looked at the skin in front of him that was almost as white as the snow that fell tonight, and licked his dry lips.
Xi Bai, she smells so good.
He knew that his "eating" would leave traces.
Spots and dots on Xi Bai's neck and collar.
Although as a ghost, Gu Chi did not understand the ambiguous meaning of the red marks on human necks, he just looked at the marks he left behind and felt his mouth dry again.
Xibai's temperature dropped quickly.
Stop, Gu Chi told himself.
Well, just one more bite and then stop.
Well... One more bite.
Well, the last bite...
Xibai slept more and more peacefully, and subconsciously felt that the long dream tonight was gradually becoming bizarre.
