Chapter 29 Sick?

Yu Chi and Gu Jue said goodbye to Jiang Xinian and the others early the next morning. After all, it was just a chance meeting. Now that things here have been settled, it is time for them to leave.

When they left, Jiang Si also came back, and he seemed to have recovered well.

From the time they met to the time we parted, it has only been two or three days, but it always feels like a long time has passed.

Jiang Xinian has changed a lot in the past year or so. She has changed from that carefree, smiling young lady to a more mature and stable one.

She sent Yu Chi and Gu Jue away with a gentle smile on her face.

"Will we meet again, both of you?"

Yu Chi did not answer, but Gu Jue turned around and smiled brightly when he heard Jiang Xinian ask this.

"If we are destined to meet, yes."

Xiao Yunfeng compensated Gu Jue with a new black fox fur cloak. His original one was stained with blood, mud and grass leaves in the forest, and was in a mess.

Seeing the two figures, one black and one white, walking farther and farther away, Xiao Yunfeng felt a little emotional.

"It seems that they are a good match."

Jiang Xinian heard this and leaned towards Xiao Yunfeng, but did not hear it clearly.

"What?"

Jiang Si was a little confused.

"What? They are a couple?"

Jiang Xinian looked at Xiao Yunfeng.

"Is it true?"

Xiao Yunfeng nodded.

"Of course it's true. They admitted it themselves. They slept in the same bed and got into each other's quilts. Oh, that little guard kissed and hugged the doctor in front of me, and he didn't let go."

In the eyes of Jiang Si who couldn't believe it and Jiang Xinian who was slightly shocked, Xiao Yunfeng stood there calmly.

As for their discussion behind their backs, Yu Chi and Gu Jue naturally couldn't hear it.

...

A window on the second floor of the guest house was pushed open. It was snowing outside at some point. The cold wind blew through, blowing away some of the warmth in the room.

Gu Jue leaned against the window, supporting his head with his hands.

"When will the snow stop?"

Several days have passed since they left Yuque Pass. They have also been trapped in this inn for two days. The snow is too heavy and it is difficult to walk.

However, it seems that New Year's Eve is coming soon, right?

He was distracted by the snow outside the window, wondering how his sister and the others were doing.

"Gu Jue, close the window."

Yu Chi's voice came from behind him. Gu Jue turned around and saw the man sitting at the table, with the tea in the white porcelain cup in his hand still steaming.

The pair of red eyes stared at him, and when he saw him looking back, Yu Chi raised his eyebrows.

Gu Jue obediently closed the window.

"Are you cold?"

"Use your smart little head to think about it. Doesn't this sound like nonsense?"

Let's not talk about the fact that Gu Jue is not afraid of cold and has internal strength to protect his body. He has nothing. How can he not feel cold when the cold wind blows on his face?

Gu Jue returned to sit next to Yu Chi and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Yu Chi, it's almost New Year's Eve."

Yu Chi held the white porcelain cup and drank the tea slowly. The tea was warm and warmed his whole body.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go home?"

Gu Jue shook his head. He didn't want to go home. After all, he had not gone home before. It's just...

"I miss my sister a little."

Yu Chi's eyes stayed on Gu Jue. Gu Jue hung his head and didn't look at Yu Chi. He didn't notice the look in Yu Chi's eyes at all.

The next moment, a cold hand fell on Gu Jue's face. Gu Jue looked up in confusion and looked into those seductive fox eyes.

He stared at them intently and found that there was a very small mole at the end of Yu Chi's left eye, which was sometimes covered by the drooping hair and easily overlooked.

After seeing it clearly, he felt that those eyes contained an indescribable emotion, which made them even more attractive.

Although the word "beautiful" is mostly used to describe women, it must be said that Yu Chi is really more beautiful than all the women he has ever seen.

Yu Chi's fingers stroked Gu Jue's face, fell on his lower eyelid, and stroked to the end of his eye.

"You like to look into the eyes of the man who travels with you."

The words that Jiang Suo once said suddenly appeared in Gu Jue's mind.

Yu Chi really likes to look into his eyes, he had already discovered this.

"Yu Chi."

"Hmm~"

Yu Chi supported his head with one hand and stroked Gu Jue's face with the other hand, his expression relaxed and his posture lazy, like a cat.

"You seem to like my eyes very much."

As Gu Jue spoke, Yu Chi's hand slid to Gu Jue's jaw, pinched his chin, and forced him to raise his head slightly.

"Because they are beautiful."

Gu Jue's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, staring straight into Yu Chi's eyes. He was not lying, at least Gu Jue didn't see any trace of lying in his eyes.

But, his eyes?

Beautiful?

Obviously Yu Chi's eyes are more beautiful, right?

The fox eyes with slightly upturned corners can make people feel all kinds of charm in just a casual glance.

They just stared at each other, speechless, and no one spoke again.

Until there was a knock on the door.

Gu Jue got up to open the door. His departure made Yu Chi's hand hang in the air. Yu Chi curled his fingers slightly and rubbed his fingertips.

His hands were very cold, and only the fingertips still retained Gu Jue's warmth.

It was the waiter who came to deliver lunch. Gu Jue took the tray, closed the door, returned to the table, and placed the dishes one by one.

After lunch, Gu Jue sent the bowls, chopsticks, plates and other things down.

When he came back, the window that was originally closed was opened. Yu Chi leaned against the window. Some snow fell on him, wetting his hair and clothes.

The only remaining black hair on his forehead was almost dyed white by the snow, and he looked very beautiful, a cold beauty.

He remembered Jiang Si saying that when Jiang Si first met Yu Chi, Yu Chi's hair was black.

So what caused Yu Chi's hair to turn white?

Yu Chi never told him.

The wind now was bitingly cold, perhaps because Yu Chi looked too lonely now, Gu Jue approached him as if possessed by a ghost.

And he stretched out his hand as if possessed by a ghost.

He brushed off the snow on Yu Chi's head, causing Yu Chi to turn his head back, and he held him in his arms.

His face was pressed against Yu Chi's face.

It was very cold, especially cold.

Yu Chi's face was as cold as snow, which formed a strong contrast with his own face.

He didn't say a word, Yu Chi's hand fell on his hair and asked him softly.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Jue didn't answer, but just shook his head, and his head fell on Yu Chi's neck.

Human life span is very short, right?

He suddenly thought of this question in his mind.

The hand holding Yu Chi also tightened.

Originally, he didn't have much concept of time, but since he met Sister Yu and others, and faced the death of his grandmother, father and mother.

He realized that as a human, the longest time he can live in this world is no more than a hundred years.

He has also lost his relatives and faced death.

But...

at that moment, seeing Yu Chi with his white hair stained by snow, sitting by the window, so lonely, he suddenly panicked.

He felt as if Yu Chi was far away from him, but he was clearly by his side.

Suddenly, he was afraid that Yu Chi would leave, or he didn't dare to face the fact that Yu Chi would die in the future.

Yu Chi was sitting on the window, and he just held Yu Chi tightly.

The snow was still falling heavily, falling on Yu Chi's hair and clothes that were scattered behind him, and also on Gu Jue's head, as if dyeing his hair white.

Yu Chi's hand stroked Gu Jue's hair again and again, and he didn't know what was wrong with Gu Jue.

He just coaxed him as if he was angry.

Gu Jue's heartbeat was so strong that it seemed to be about to burst through his chest and jump out.

"Yu Chi, I seem to be sick..."

With a cold hand on his neck, he felt Yu Chi gently rest his chin on his head.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm so flustered."

A light laugh echoed above his head.

"Then I'll prescribe you two prescriptions to calm your mind?"

"No, the medicine is too bitter."

"What should I do?"

"Just hold me for a while."

Yu Chi's hand touched Gu Jue's face along the back of his neck and poked it.

"You didn't drink just now?"

"..."

Thinking of the last time he was drunk, Gu Jue's face quickly turned red, so red that it was hot. He didn't dare to raise his head and just stayed in Yu Chi's arms.

After a long while, he adjusted himself and then let go of Yu Chi.

Yu Chi closed the window again and wiped his hair with a towel. After drying his hair, he planned to take a nap since he had nothing to do anyway.

Gu Jue helped him take off his clothes, hung them up, and watched him lie down in the quilt.

He touched his chest.

It seemed that he was really sick.

Yu Chi raised his eyes and saw Gu Jue standing blankly by the bed. Feeling that there was no warmth in the quilt, he invited him.

"Want to join us?"

Gu Jue said nothing, pursed his lips, took off his coat and got into bed.

You don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you bastard.
