Perhaps the boy's eyes were too alluring, and Li Hexing didn't want to show disappointment on his face. He nodded as if bewitched by a fairy: "Yeah."
After answering, he came back to his senses: "Are you hungry? I'll make you a midnight snack."
Chu Yanyan, her plot having succeeded, began to pour some medicinal wine into her palm and placed it on the bruised area of Li Hexing's arm, rubbing it until it was warm. She then asked him, "What will you make for a midnight snack?"
"I have some rice left at home and some eggs I bought from town. Let me make you fried rice." Li Hexing said calmly.
"Okay." Chu Yanyan thought it was good.
Seeing the smile on the boy's face, Li Hexing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and a look of doting that had not appeared for a long time appeared on his face.
However, before he fell into the ocean of love, the pain in his body pulled him back. He grinned and pretended that it didn't hurt at all. It was great to see that the frail boy had such strength.
Li Hexing was silent, and Chu Yanyan didn't know how strong the rub was. After rubbing it to warm it up, she continued to the next bruise.
Li Hexing only asked Chu Yanyan to rub three of them and rub the rest with medicinal wine. After all, he still had to make Chu Yanyan a midnight snack. Although it would heal faster later if he continued to rub like this, he couldn't move at the moment. It hurt.
Chu Yanyan replaced the medicinal wine in her hand with the one given by the system, and naturally listened to Li Hexing's instructions and just sprinkled it on and applied it.
late at night.
Outside, frogs croaked, and a large, round moon emerged, illuminating the couple in the room with its cool light. From this house, some distance away, came the clatter of pots and pans. Thick white smoke billowed from the chimney, merging with the black clouds. Then, the aroma of fried eggs filled the air, spreading and finally fading away.
Li Hexing used a spatula to scoop out the fried egg rice. From time to time, he glanced at Chu Yanyan, who was about to fall asleep sitting next to the pit. A trace of heartache flashed across his eyes, and he said softly, "Yanyan, the midnight snack is ready."
"Oh." Chu Yanyan woke up immediately when he heard about food. He snorted to smell the delicious aroma of fried eggs, threw down the hay in his hand, and stood up.
"The kitchen is dirty, let's go back to the house first." Li Hexing said. Maybe Chu Yanyan was anxious to eat, so he came to the kitchen, took a small stool, and sat aside waiting.
Walk into the house.
Li Hexing took the wooden spoon and handed it to Chu Yanyan.
Chu Yanyan looked at the golden rice grains in the small wooden basin. They were shiny and plump and chewy.
He took a few sips and looked up at Li Hexing, who was sitting on the side watching him eat but not eating himself: "Brother Xing, don't you want to eat?"
"I don't want to eat. I'm going to take a shower first. You can eat slowly." Li Hexing said, stood up and walked out.
After a while, I heard the sound of splashing water outside.
Chu Yanyan was lost in thought. Working tonight had consumed a lot of his energy, so he had to make up for it. Since Li Hexing didn't want to eat, he wouldn't be polite.
Soon, Chu Yanyan finished eating all the egg rice in the small bowl that was the size of two palms and as deep as a little finger.
I burped after eating it, it's really delicious. I don't have carrots at the moment, so this will work.
Chu Yanyan's face was filled with anxiety as he thought that he hadn't even planted anything yet and winter was coming in less than a month or two.
Li Hexing, who was drying his hair outside, also came in and cleared the dishes on the table.
After everything around him was quiet again.
In the house.
After rinsing their mouths and washing their faces, Chu Yanyan and Li Hexing lay on the same wooden bed. It was a double bed, just enough space for each of them.
Chu Yanyan was in no hurry to sleep. He reached out and tugged at the corner of Li Hexing's clothes. "Have you chosen the land for planting radishes?"
"Hmm?" Li Hexing turned his head and met the boy's clear eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally remembered that he wanted to help the boy plant carrots: "I've chosen the land. I'll do farm work in the next few days. After I harvest the corn, I'll take you to see the land."
"Okay~" Chu Yanyan finally felt relieved.
"Go to sleep." Li Hexing said, turned around and slept with his back to Chu Yanyan.
Li Hexing fell asleep very quickly. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
Chu Yanyan turned over and faced Li Hexing's back, listening to his slight breathing. He slowly put his hand on the man's waist, rested his calf on his leg, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In the second half of the night, Li Hexing turned over in his sleep and felt something cool around him. He subconsciously hugged the thing in his arms.
As the moonlight filtered in, the two bodies pressed together, and even when the moonlight disappeared, they still did not let go.
the next day.
There was the sound of roosters crowing outside.
Li Hexing was sleepy and touched something beside him. He felt something smooth and soft. He was stunned and touched it again uncertainly.
"Don't touch it." A low hum of someone else's voice came from beside me.
Familiar yet strange.
Li Hexing suddenly opened his eyes, and the focus of his eyes gradually became clear. He saw the young man in his arms. His hand was on the soft part of the young man's back, and his hand was still covering it.
When he woke up in the morning, he hugged someone and felt the softness in his arms.
At this moment, he seemed to be frozen in place and did not move for a long time.
Until, a reaction occurred.
He seemed to be frightened. He pushed the person in his arms away, rolled off the bed, opened the door and walked out.
Not long after Li Hexing left, Chu Yanyan woke up. He rubbed his eyes, reached out to touch the edge of the bed, felt a chill, turned over, closed his eyes, found a thin quilt, covered his stomach, and continued to sleep.
He will never wake up until the system calls him.
