Chapter 71 Eavesdropping
Absorbing the warmth from Zhu Ci's body, his limbs, which had been stiffened by fear, slowly regained feeling.
Noticing that something was wrong with Xu Zhiyang, Zhu Ci picked up the boy with one hand and led him into the room sideways.
After closing the door, Zhu Ci put Xu Zhiyang beside the bed.
A candle was lit in the room, shrouding the small room in warm light.
Xu Zhiyang felt relieved when she saw Zhu Ci's scimitar placed next to the pillow.
"There's someone outside my window." Xu Zhiyang took a few deep breaths to suppress the trembling in his voice.
"I don't know who it was... I don't know how long he was standing there watching me... When I woke up... he was there..."
Zhu Ci's eyes turned cold and he picked up the scimitar.
"You sleep here first, I'll go out and take a look!"
"No!" Xu Zhiyang's fingers were cold, and she hooked Zhu Ci's sleeve tightly.
"They must have left. It's too late to go out now. It's not safe!"
Zhu Ci patted the boy's thin shoulder soothingly: "Then I'll stand by the window and take a look. You wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Xu Zhiyang was really scared. When he was a child, his damn brother often made him see these mysterious things, so now Xu Zhiyang is scared to death of ghosts.
Seeing Zhu Ci open the door and go out, Xu Zhiyang quickly got into bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, leaving not even a strand of hair exposed.
There was a scent of blessings in the quilt, and their smells were similar - like the deep forest in the mist on the distant mountains, and the green grass with dewdrops.
Fresh and warm, it feels like spring.
Ten seconds later, Zhu Ci came back with light steps and locked the door.
He sat on the edge of the bed, gently lifted a corner of the quilt, and gently stroked the boy's hair with his warm and dry palm.
"Yangyang, that thing has gone away."
Zhu Ci smoothed his fur for a while, and then Xu Zhiyang poked his head out from under the quilt.
"Um……"
Xu Zhiyang would feel nauseous when he was too tense. He grabbed Zhu Ci's fingers with a pale face and curled up beside Zhu Ci.
"I didn't expect you to be afraid of something."
Zhu Ci picked up the frightened boy and wrapped him in a quilt. At this moment, a soft light appeared in the eyes of the tall and cold man.
Xu Zhiyang felt embarrassed and buried her face in Zhu Ci's arms again, muttering, "I'm a little afraid of ghosts, but only this one. I'm not afraid of any other..."
Zhu Ci chuckled softly, and lightly twisted the boy's earlobe with his fingers, his knuckles brushing across his thin earlobe, causing the man in his arms to tremble.
"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you."
Xu Zhiyang tightened her arms, her heart beating unusually fast, "Why... aren't you asleep yet?"
"Hmm... not sleepy."
In fact, he was not used to Xu Zhiyang not being around. On the way north, they slept in the open air and slept next to Xu Zhiyang every night.
Without Xu Zhiyang by his side, he tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. He simply thought in his heart how he could be nicer to the boy.
How to protect the treasure in your heart.
Xu Zhiyang looked up at Zhu Ci and saw a man with sharp edges and corners. He suddenly pinched Zhu Ci's chin playfully, causing the man to look down at him.
Xu Zhiyang could hear Zhu Ci's heartbeat clearly...
Perhaps the candlelight was too dim, or perhaps the blessing was too gentle at that moment.
When Xu Zhiyang came to her senses, she gave Zhu Ci a light kiss on the chin.
Xu Zhiyang's cheeks flushed red, and she didn't dare look at Zhu Ci's stiff expression. She tried to hide her feelings, but she said, "It's revenge. You kissed my neck... It's a return..."
Zhuci's Adam's apple moved, and his voice became slightly hoarse: "Give and take? If I take advantage of you again, will you retaliate against me?"
Xu Zhiyang didn't know whether he wanted revenge or not. He only knew that his brain must have been salted and oily today! Otherwise, how could he do such a stupid thing!!!
"Okay, go to sleep." Zhu Ci put the person on the pillow.
Xu Zhiyang tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Together...it's very late..."
Zhu Ci smiled lightly, hummed softly, and went to bed, lying close to Xu Zhiyang, keeping each other warm.
.
The next day, the living room was very lively.
"Oh, this is the only good sleep I've had in all these days."
Li Huiyin put her feet on the window frame of the living room and stretched her body. When she turned her head, she glanced at Tiezi and Zhuci's room. The door was closed.
"Puff, puff."
Li Huiyin gave a secret signal.
Qin Shiyu pushed up his glasses and looked away from the notebook: "What's the matter?"
"Why haven't your elder and second brothers gotten up yet?"
Qin Shiyu was not a gossipy person originally, but now he has been led astray by Li Huiyin.
"I don't know... I think my elder and second brothers are not the kind of people who stay in bed..."
Not getting any results, Li Huiyin looked at Mu Ke again.
Mu Ke quickly shook his head: "I don't know either."
“…”
Li Huiyin retracted her legs, walked to Lu Nian's side, and poked his arm with her finger. "Lu Xiaonian, why don't you go and listen?"
Lu Nian looked puzzled: "What are you listening to?"
Li Huiyin: "Eavesdropping!"
Lu Nian hesitated: "It's not good..."
"It's okay, just listen to Big Brother's instructions!"
Li Huiyin urged frantically: "Listen to see if there's any sound from my best friend in his room."
Qin Shiyu also became interested and wanted to test Lu Nian's hearing: "Brother Lu, go and try it and see what you can hear."
Seeing Lu Nian being tricked by the two men towards Zhu Ci's door, Mu Ke chuckled and did not stop them.
Lu Nian looked serious, his entire face pressed against the door.
Li Huiyin and Qin Shiyu watched him with bated breath.
After a while, Lu Nian whispered, "Brother is awake... there's a sound..."
After that, he asked curiously, "Why is Zhiyang here too?"
Li Huiyin looked excited: "What did my best friend say?"
Lu Nian listened carefully, "It seems... Big Brother is trying to coax Zhiyang out of bed..."
Suddenly, Lu Nian's expression changed.
Li Hui quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Nian opened his eyes wide, his innocent eyes filled with confusion, "What do you mean...it hurt?"
"And... well..."
Before Lu Nian could finish her words, Mu Ke came over, covered her mouth and dragged her away!
Qin Shiyu: "...slipped away..."
It's so exciting so early in the morning, it's not suitable for children.
"Is my buddy progressing too fast?"
Li Huiyin scratched her head, wondering whether she should catch the adulterer in bed.
Inside the house, Xu Zhiyang took out Zhu Ci's scimitar from his waist.
"...Would you like to explain?"
Xu Zhiyang scratched the words on the knife sheath with his fingers and suddenly found that Zhuci's name was also on it.
Zhu Ci: "I swear I put the knife under my pillow before I went to bed. You sleep so badly that you rolled over on me many times."
“…”
"It hurt me all night, and there are marks on my legs."
Xu Zhiyang rubbed his lower back and frowned in pain.
"let me see."
Zhu Ci stood up, lifted the quilt, grabbed Xu Zhiyang's ankle with one hand and tried to drag him towards him.
Xu Zhiyang was stunned for a moment, "No need! I'm fine! Really!"
Zhu Ci easily suppressed Xu Zhiyang with one hand, "Be obedient, let me see."
Xu Zhiyang's blessing of the Five Finger Mountain suppressed him so much that he couldn't resist.
Zhu Ci's palms were covered with calluses from years of using guns, and when they scratched the boy's skin with a little force, a red mark would appear.
