Guilu Town Royal 3
"Mom, why isn't this little cat awake yet?"
"Good boy, it's too tired, let it have a good rest."
"This is the first time I've seen so many furry creatures. I want them to play with me!"
"But their owner is sick, and Xiaobao doesn't want them to lose him, right?"
Gentle and childish voices asked and answered each other, intersecting in the air.
Then the child responded obediently.
One by one, the sound gradually spread out and reached Chu Li's ears. She couldn't help but frown as she was in the darkness. The sound waves surrounded her. She reached out to tear through the darkness, but before she could touch it, she was suddenly pushed forward by a huge force on her back.
She lost her support and fell down due to gravity.
There is an abyss beneath me.
Chu Li was so frightened that he screamed loudly.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and the next moment, a slightly dazzling light fell into her eyes.
She subconsciously covered her eyes.
"Mother, my beautiful sister is awake!"
The childish voice in the dream sounded again, gradually bringing Chu Li back to his senses.
She lowered her hands slightly, shook her heavy head, and then looked around her.
At this moment, she was wearing a nightgown that was several sizes too large, and her body was wrapped in bandages in several places. She could feel pain all over her body with the slightest movement.
She looked up and around, then looked at the child in front of her who was staring at her. Only then did she realize that she was being rescued.
"You're awake."
A gentle voice like water spread in Chu Li's ears.
She looked up and saw a woman in her thirties, with her hair tied up and a basin of water in her hand, walking towards her in surprise.
When she approached, she placed the basin with her long hands, tilted her head and continued to ask, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
It hurts a bit, but it's bearable.
Chu Li shook his head and asked curiously, "You saved me?"
"It's my husband."
After the woman responded, Chu Li clearly caught the slight upward curve of her lips.
Happiness that is hard to conceal.
Chu Li smiled and said, "I still have to thank you and your husband."
"It's just a small favor. Don't be so polite to me. My name is Ruan Sui, you can just call me Sister Ruan." Ruan Sui skillfully wrung out the towel in the basin and handed it to Chu Li, saying, "Wipe yourself."
Chu Li took it, thanked him, then lowered his head to wipe the uncomfortable area.
"Sister Ruan, where is this place?" Chu Li asked in confusion.
"This is Guilu Town."
Chu Li was stunned.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, I finally arrived safely at the town where I returned home.
But why, when she and You Chengze arrived at the town gate, they were greeted not by people but by a flood.
Before Chu Li had time to ask, Ruan Sui had already spoken.
"This is my daughter, her nickname is Yueyue."
Ruan Sui picked up the child, grabbed both hands, and waved at Chu Li as if playing with a toy. Then she leaned close to Yueyue's ear and whispered, "Xiaobao, come and say hello to your sister."
Yueyue was very excited. She kicked her arms and legs, her eyes shining, and called out "Sister Chu Li" very sweetly.
Chu Li had no idea what to do with the cute creatures. He raised his hand, touched the child, and praised it a few words. Suddenly, he thought of his own furry friends.
She was drowned at the time and didn't know what happened to those fur balls.
"Sister Ruan, have you seen my pet?"
Ruan Sui knew what Chu Li was going to ask. She pointed to a few small nests built with bamboo in the corner and said, "Xiao You specifically asked me to take good care of them. Now that you have recovered, they will be able to recover after some rest."
"Thank you, Sister Ruan."
After Chu Li thanked him, he paused again.
Her mind couldn't help but replay what she had just heard.
Xiao You...?
The right candidate flashed through Chu Li's mind, and he suddenly broke out in a sweat.
She would not forget that it was You Chengze who rescued her because of a flood disaster.
Although she was confused, she remembered You Chengze swimming towards her and his anxious calls for her not to sleep.
"Sister Ruan, is the little You you're talking about You Chengze? How is he?"
The anxious look of You Chengze in his mind had not completely disappeared. Chu Li no longer cared whether his injuries were completely healed, and asked Ruan Sui anxiously.
She actually didn't know why she was so panicked.
Perhaps it was because she had died once before and she had an immense respect for life; perhaps it was because the furry creatures around her were dependent on men; or perhaps You Cheng was her only good friend in this alien world.
There are thousands of reasons, but the only answer is not wanting him to die.
Chu Li was already panicking. He threw off the quilt, stood on the ground barefoot, and tried to run forward. However, because of his injury, he fell to the ground before he could take a few steps.
The coldness of the floor hit her skin, and Ruan Sui's scream suddenly rang in her ears.
The next moment, a pair of brown cloth shoes came into Chu Li's sight.
"Xiao You, why are you here?"
There was a hint of surprise in Ruan Sui's voice, which made Chu Li's scalp numb, and he suddenly raised his head from panic.
At this moment, You Chengze, wearing a linen shirt and half-length pants, stood in front of him. In his arms, he was holding a lop-eared rabbit with half-open eyes and a slight trembling.
The man's face was still as calm as usual, but in his deep eyes, Chu Li accurately caught a hint of emotion.
Like relaxing, like gentle.
Chu Li paused slightly. The person in front of him seemed a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.
It's so weird.
"Xiao Li, get up quickly. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Before Chu Li could react, Ruan Sui helped him up from the ground.
Chu Li shook his head.
Ruan Sui was worried, though, and after sizing her up for a while, she gave up. Then, her gaze flickered between Chu Li and You Chengze, as if realizing something. She clapped her hands, picked up Yueyue, and left the room under the pretext of preparing lunch.
As soon as Ruan Sui left, the atmosphere between the two of them instantly became quiet.
Chu Li stood aside, secretly glancing at You Chengze out of the corner of his eye, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The taciturn man never spoke on his own initiative, and he was still like that now. Chu Li shouldn't have held out hope, after all, the most tenderness this man had given was only to her furry friend.
Thinking of this, Chu Li took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for saving me."
"Not really me."
"...I mean when it was flooded." Chu Li paused, "And my furry friend."
"If you die, they will die too."
It’s the same excuse again!
Chu Li was about to explode with rage. This man had to be so stubborn! She just fainted due to lack of oxygen, not amnesia!
If it was really because of Mao Rongrong, he could have just not saved himself and waited for someone to rescue him the next day. But this man not only made a fire to keep himself warm, but also undressed her and applied medicine!
You stinky man, you say one thing and mean another!
She doesn't even care about the taboo between men and women!
Thinking of this, Chu Li remembered something. She looked down at her nightgown. It was empty and very revealing.
Chu Li was startled and quickly got under the quilt.
Chu Li was in a hurry and finally covered himself up completely, revealing his head to breathe.
The next second, she heard a burst of laughter.
Chu Li immediately turned his head and saw You Chengze's smile about to disappear.
"You Chengze, turn around!"
She dived into the quilt, her face suddenly burning hot.
Before, when she was sick, she could just let it go and forget about it once she recovered. But now that she was awake, her clothes didn't cover her at all, and she had just fallen down, she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
After she said that, she originally wanted to wait until Ruan Sui came back before going out.
However, before he could calm down from the embarrassment, You Chengze's voice rang out again, "The clothes are on the chair."
"you--"
Chu Li was ashamed and angry. He looked up to retort, but saw You Chengze turned his back.
The words on the tip of her tongue stopped instantly.
At this moment, she couldn't find any words to describe the shock in her heart.
It's unprecedented!
According to the normal routine, You Chengze would definitely mock himself again, for example, he would say with a cold face, "Why would I be interested in your figure?"
Or look up with disdain.
In short, shouldn't she just turn her back obediently, and specifically tell her about her clothes and leave the safest position!
Chu Li was shocked, not knowing what You Chengze was thinking. She carefully reached out, took the clothes, turned her back, and endured the slight pain in her body to change clothes.
She glanced behind her several times out of worry.
You Chengze still had his back to her.
The man's back was in the backlight, and his thin figure instantly became taller under the light.
Chu Li felt at ease for no reason.
She put on her clothes and was about to tie them.
However, she discovered that the blouse she wore in Guilu Town was different from the clothes she had worn before. For ease of use, the longer end of the blouse, which needed to be tied, was tied behind her.
Chu Li was injured at the moment and could not move his hands at all.
She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, wanting to call Sister Ruan to come over for help, and then looked at You Chengze who was standing very conspicuously on the side.
Finally, she had no other choice but to shout, "You Chengze."
The man responded.
"Can you come over and help me..." Chu Li's voice became lower and lower, "My hands hurt and I can't tie my clothes."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of her cloth shoes hitting the ground was heard. A gust of wind blew past her ears, mixed with a hint of a pleasant fragrance.
Chu Li came back to his senses when he felt something tight behind him.
Actually... he tied it for himself.
Chu Li took a deep breath, turned slightly, moved closer, and expressed his gratitude at the right time.
The man in front of him stared at Chu Li's face, as if he was exploring something.
It wasn't until Chu Li felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at that she touched her face and changed the subject, "Are you hurt?"
"No."
"Have I slept for too long? My spirit pets all look listless."
As Chu Li spoke, he set his gaze on the lop-eared rabbit in You Chengze's arms.
