Chapter 103 Nightmare
The winter night was particularly cold, and snowflakes were floating in the dark night sky.
Lin Yi put down the bucket: "It's a small place, please make do with it."
Pei Xuan said in a cold voice: "Sorry for the trouble."
Lin Yi turned around and was about to leave, but Xie Anci grabbed him.
Pei Xuan stared at Xie Anci holding Lin Yi's hand, pursed his lips, and finally said nothing.
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Anci felt very uneasy about the taciturn Lin Yi.
"It's okay, I'll get you some bedding." Lin Yi felt as if his wrist was burned by fire, and quickly pulled his hand back and fled away.
Xie Anci looked at Lin Yi's back, a little confused. Pei
Xuan looked at Xie Anci with a complicated expression, stepped forward and closed the door to block Xie Anci's sight.
"It's cold, Regent should go to bed early."
Xie Anci was at a loss, as if he had done something wrong.
He nodded, quickly washed up and went to bed.
Pei Xuan made a bed and lay on the floor.
Even if the doors and windows were closed, the cold wind outside the room could still get in through the gaps.
Pei Xuan leaned sideways and looked at Xie Anci's back. Xie Anci had his back to Pei Xuan but was not asleep at all, with his eyes wide open.
Xie Anci could feel Pei Xuan's fiery gaze, he didn't dare to move, and could only maintain one posture.
"Go to sleep." Pei Xuan's voice was soft, as if it had magic.
Xie Anci closed his eyes and fell asleep in a moment.
But this sleep was really restless, fragments of memory were chaotic and fuzzy, and kept flashing in his mind.
In the dream, Xie Anci seemed to return to the palace and saw the emperor who was high above him. He seemed to have an inexplicable feeling for the emperor, but the emperor hated him very much.
Xie Anci couldn't see his face clearly but he could feel his emotions, which made him feel like a knife in his heart.
His body was like a drowning fish, and he struggled desperately but couldn't get rid of the restraints on his body.
"No!" Don't fall in love with someone who doesn't like you!
Xie Anci shouted to himself in his dream, cold sweat soaked his clothes, he suddenly got up and got rid of the nightmare.
A hand was placed on his chest, Xie Anci was unable to breathe, he turned his head and saw Pei Xuan's handsome sleeping face.
Xie Anci moved the arm that was
pressing on his chest. It must be because of the pressure on his chest that he had a nightmare, it must be!
Xie Anci kept hypnotizing himself, he didn't dare to think how sad he would be if the memory in the dream was his.
Pei Xuan heard the movement and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and deep.
Xie Anci frowned and said unhappily: "Why are you in my bed?"
Pei Xuan got up, picked up a piece of clothes and put it on Xie Anci: "I saw you had a nightmare last night, I went to bed to comfort you and accidentally fell asleep."
Pei Xuan's eyes were clear, it didn't seem like he was lying.
Xie Anci did have a nightmare, he nodded and believed this reason.
Today the sky is overcast, without sunshine, and it is colder than the previous few days.
When Xie Anci got up, he saw Lin Yi preparing to go out with a backpack on his back.
"Where are you going?" Xie Anci asked hurriedly.
Lin Yi paused: "Go to the place where I picked you and pick some more herbs."
Originally thought that he could not pick winter herbs because of the warmer weather, but he did not expect that it would be cold again today, so Lin Yi planned to go pick them again.
Of course, the most important thing is that he does not want to face these two people at home.
"I'll go too." Xie Anci ran forward and followed Lin Yi closely.
"Forget it. It's cold today. There's food in the kitchen. You guys eat. I'm leaving." Lin Yi saw Pei Xuan behind Xie Anci out of the corner of his eye and ran out as if escaping.
Xie Anci touched his stomach. Why did Lin Yi get up so early today?
It's not like him.
Xie Anci walked into the kitchen with ease and came out with two bowls of porridge.
Pei Xuan took it. He didn't expect that one day he would be able to drink porridge personally served by the Regent Prince.
Pei Xuan smiled. It felt good to see Xie Anci like this.
The two drank the porridge, and Xie Anci took the food and began to feed the little members in the yard.
Pei Xuan's white horse saw the grass in Xie Anci's hand and slowly rubbed against it.
The white horse was very tall. Xie Anci reached out and touched its head.
"You guys, you actually come over." Xie Anci said with a smile.
The white horse snorted, as if responding to him.
Pei Xuan stood aside and watched, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Want to ride?"
"Can I?" Xie Anci turned his head, and his smooth forehead brushed against Pei Xuan's lips, warm and hot.
Xie Anci touched his forehead and stepped back half a step embarrassedly.
"Of course you can." Pei Xuan hugged Xie Anci's waist and pulled him into his arms.
Xie Anci was very confused, and just when he wanted to ask him, he got on the horse in a dizzy moment.
Pei Xuan put his hand across Xie Anci's waist to prevent him from falling.
"Where do you want to go?" Pei Xuan's warm breath sprayed on Xie Anci's neck. Xie Anci shuddered, "Go to town?"
"It's too far, how about just walking around nearby?" Pei Xuan lowered his eyes, not wanting to take Xie Anci to town, he was afraid that other people would find this place.
He still wanted to be alone with Xie Anci for a few days.
"Okay." Xie Anci nodded. He couldn't ride a horse, so he could only listen to Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan opened his cloak and wrapped Xie Anci in his arms.
"It's a bit cold today, wrap yourself up." Pei Xuan's voice rang from above his head, Xie Anci obediently grasped Pei Xuan's cloak, with only his head sticking out.
A burst of cold fragrance penetrated into Xie Anci's nose, familiar and warm.
"Let's go." Xie Anci looked up and could only see Pei Xuan's chin.
"Drive!" Pei Xuan shouted softly, and the white horse moved forward slowly.
The two walked slowly in the village, and passers-by looked at them sideways.
"Isn't this the patient from Doctor Lin's house? Who is behind you?" an old lady asked gossipingly.
"Friends...friends." Xie Anci was not familiar with them, and replied with a stiff face.
Usually, it was Lin Yi who blocked him, but today he was really a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Pei Xuan drove out of the village.
It was very quiet outside the village, and the sky and the earth seemed to have merged into one, covered in silver, almost becoming a snow country.
Because the speed was very slow, Xie Anci did not feel cold.
Along the way, the two did not speak, but just quietly looked at the surrounding scenery.
Unknowingly, they came to the river.
"Come down for a walk?" Pei Xuan asked.
Xie Anci nodded, Pei Xuan got off the horse first, and then carried Xie Anci down.
The river was covered with a layer of ice, which shone in the sunlight.
Xie Anci walked over curiously and stepped lightly on the ice.
"Be careful, don't fall down." Pei Xuan reminded him.
Xie Anci turned around and smiled at him: "Don't worry, the ice is quite thick."
Pei Xuan chuckled helplessly and followed him.
Crack...
The ice on the riverside was much thinner than that in the middle. The ice under Xie Anci's feet suddenly cracked, and Pei Xuan quickly pulled him ashore.
Even so, Xie Anci's shoes were still mostly wet.
