The Tianzihao courtyard not only has spacious and luxurious bedrooms, but is also equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. Xue Huan is busy in the kitchen at this time.
She cooked a pot of mushroom and lean meat porridge in a clay pot, but Pei Ji had not woken up yet, so she continued to simmer it over low heat so that he could eat it anytime when he woke up.
When she opened the door, Xue Huan saw a figure changing clothes with his back to her, his jade-white shoulders exposed in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, apologized quickly, slammed the door and walked out.
Leaning against the door, her heart was still beating fast.
She didn't expect that Pei Ji had already woken up and was changing clothes, so she just barged in. She couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
However, thinking back to the scene she had just caught a glimpse of, her expression gradually became turbulent again.
It was obvious that he had a great body when he was unconscious. Now that he was awake and standing in front of her in person, her hormones were overwhelming, making her cheeks feel hot.
Xue Huan covered her face with her hands. The door behind her suddenly opened. She fell backwards unexpectedly and landed in a broad and solid embrace.
When they looked up, their eyes met.
A scene suddenly flashed through Xue Huan's mind. The person in front of her was hugging her and kissing her passionately.
When she came to her senses, she found that he had let go of her and took two steps back, keeping a polite distance from her, which was completely different from the attitude of the person in the picture just now.
She couldn't help feeling a little lost. He should have been extremely enthusiastic towards her, so enthusiastic that she couldn't resist.
"Thank you, young lady, for saving me. Please accept this jade talisman. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me." Pei Ji handed her a black jade talisman.
Xue Huan took it and rubbed the lines on the jade talisman with her fingers. "How do you know I saved you?"
Pei Ji smiled faintly, "Although I passed out, I haven't completely lost consciousness. I still have some perception of the outside world."
So, he actually knew everything about her changing his clothes, feeding him medicine, and holding him to transfer his spiritual power?
Thinking of this, Xue Huan secretly glanced at him. He had changed his clothes. He probably had a storage magic weapon on him, and this piece of clothing was taken out from it.
He had broad shoulders and a back as straight as iron. Wearing this dark gold brocade robe with dark patterns, he looked even more noble and distinguished. However, she couldn't help but think of him wearing women's clothes before.
"Hey, are you hungry? I cooked some porridge and will bring it to you right away." Xue Huan turned around and fled out of the room.
She could stare at him for a long time when he was unconscious, but now facing the real person, she was a little at a loss.
In addition to porridge, she also made two side dishes, stir-fried lotus root slices and scrambled eggs with cucumber. They are light but nutritious and suitable for people recovering from injuries.
She filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to him.
"Thank you." Pei Ji took it, but touched her fingers, so she quickly retracted her hand.
But when he lowered his head, he seemed to smile.
She wasn't sure if she was dazzled, and it was not appropriate to keep staring at him.
"By the way, my name is Xue Huan. I've been living deep in the mountains with my tribe. This is my first time going out. I didn't expect to run into you right away."
"Huo Kang." Pei Ji reported his name.
Xue Huan paused while scooping porridge. Isn't his name Pei Ji? This Huo Kang must be a pseudonym.
Could it be that his identity is very sensitive and cannot be easily known to others?
Xue Huan did not expose Pei Ji. After all, her previous behavior of hiding aside and secretly watching him fight with the white-robed monk was not very bright.
After finishing the meal, Xue Huan put away the dishes and chopsticks. "I won't disturb you while you recover from your injuries. I live next door to you. If anything happens, you can call me."
"Okay, thank you."
Xue Huan smiled and went out.
Since Pei Ji woke up, the thing she heard most was his gratitude. They were not familiar with each other yet, and his thanks were all for a reason. But even knowing this, she felt very uncomfortable, as if their relationship should not have been so distant.
That night, Xue Huan had a dream. In the dream, Pei Ji hugged her tightly from behind, as if he wanted to melt her into his body. He showered her with hot kisses, dragging her down with him.
When she woke up, her body was soft and she was covered in a thin layer of sweat. The scene in her dream seemed to have really happened.
She covered her face, feeling very ashamed. It is said that what you think about during the day you will dream about at night. Has her desire for Pei Ji become so obvious?
It's true that she was attracted to him and she did desire his body, but it definitely wasn't to this extent!
This dream is really shameful.
The next morning, when Xue Huan saw Pei Ji, she was a little afraid to meet his eyes, for fear that he would see through her thoughts.
"How is your injury?" she asked during dinner.
"Thank you for the medicine, I am fine now."
"That's good. The weather is nice today, why don't we go out for a walk?"
"Okay." Pei Ji agreed.
Xue Huan couldn't help laughing while biting her chopsticks, feeling extremely happy.
Go out of the inn and cross a street, and you will reach an extremely prosperous commercial street, with all kinds of hawking sounds coming one after another.
Seeing a clay figurine stall, Xue Huan quickened her pace and walked over, but a carriage came quickly from behind. Pei Ji pulled her back and said, "Be careful."
Xue Huan bumped into his arms and felt the warmth coming from his body. She actually had the urge to just stay in his arms, but unfortunately he let her go like a gentleman the next second.
Arriving at the clay figurine stall, Xue Huan asked, "Old man, can you make two figurines based on our appearance?"
The old man glanced at them, as if he had seen a pair of immortal lovers, and said with a smile: "No problem!"
The clay figures were ready. Xue Huan happily took one in each hand, admiring them for a moment before holding them both in front of him. "Pick one."
Pei Ji took over the small clay figurine based on himself.
Xue Huan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. In fact, she secretly hoped that he would choose her little clay figurine, so that they could each own each other's little clay figurine.
But they had only known each other for a short time, so it was normal for him to do so. If he really chose her, it would be seen as teasing.
Xue Huan consoled herself and continued to stroll happily.
In fact, most of the shops here are visited by ordinary people. The shops that do business with cultivators are in special places and are not accessible to ordinary people. However, Xue Huan already has enough treasures. Those magic weapons and elixirs have no appeal to her. Instead, she prefers these little gadgets of ordinary people.
When she came across a silk shop, she heard a few girls gathered together saying, "The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. I want to pick out some colorful threads to make a silk cord for my cousin."
The girl next to him joked, "What cousin? I think he's my boyfriend."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xue Huan's heart moved. Is there a custom here of giving silk threads to lovers on the Dragon Boat Festival?
