Chapter 39 Warming the Bed
Lin Qingyu was stunned: "Give it to me? Why?"
Wei Qingcheng put the token in his hand and looked at his shocked eyes seriously: "We are close friends, so we should naturally take care of each other. You take good care of it, and it won't be too late to return it to me when I come back!"
"Okay, okay," Lin Qingyu held the token in his hand. He couldn't describe the feeling. He was taken care of, valued, and cared for. It was as if someone would come to rescue him even if he went to the ends of the earth or fell into hell.
Lin Qingyu controlled his trembling hands, ignored Xie Jingyu's gaze, and hugged Wei Qingcheng tightly.
"Looking forward to your return!"
"Well, wait till I come back!"
Li Yi waved his hand, and the servant behind him handed over a package.
"This was prepared by Han Mo and her friends. They said that as men, you are bound to be careless in some areas. These are some common wound medicines and moisture-proof items. The climate over there is humid, so the princess must take care of herself!"
Xie Jingyu nodded, understanding that this was a token of his sister's kindness. He asked Yi Si to take the carriage, and he took Li Yi to the side.
"…If…there is any trouble in the Lin Mansion, you…take care of them…and don't do anything that you will regret."
Li Yi was confused. What was regret? What happened to the Lin family? The couple was talking nonsense. He wanted to ask for clarification, but Xie Jingyu just patted him on the shoulder and said that he would know when the time came.
Since he didn't say anything, Li Yi couldn't do anything about it. The two of them bumped their fists like they did when they were kids and said goodbye.
…
The journey was long and they had to sit for a long time. Xie Jingyu laid a thick cushion in the carriage and the two of them sat close together.
Wei Qingcheng drew aside the curtain and took a deep look at the city of Bianjing where he had lived for two lifetimes and had never left. Would he be able to seek medical treatment successfully in Yuzhou this time? Can his illness be cured?
He lowered the curtain, looked at Xie Jingyu's angular profile, gently leaned his head on his shoulder, and kissed his chin.
"Are you bored? Do you want to read a storybook? I'll give you whichever one you want to read."
Wei Qingcheng smiled comfortably and shook her head: "I'm not bored, I just want to kiss you and thank you for taking me out of Bianjing. I have never seen the scenery outside of Bianjing. Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Xie Jingyu looked at his adorable appearance, pulled him into her arms, and kissed the tip of his nose: "Don't say thank you, you are not allowed to say thank you, we are husband and wife and we shouldn't be so formal. My Qingcheng is very good and deserves all this."
"Well, I won't say it anymore, but Jingyu you are really good. I must have suffered a lot in my previous life to have such a good you."
Wei Qingcheng said as she held Xie Jingyu's hand. Maybe I was killed in my previous life in order to prolong my life in this life. If I could meet you in this way, then all the suffering I have endured would not be worth mentioning.
Xie Jingyu pushed his thin white fingers apart, interlocked his fingers, and said in her heart: I can meet you without suffering, but I am too timid and dare not bet that you will love me without these twists and turns.
He felt a slight tingling sensation in his heart, caressed Wei Qingcheng's soft fingers, and whispered, "No, I'm always here,"
The carriage was shaking, and soon Wei Qingcheng fell asleep in Xie Jingyu's arms. When she woke up, it was already dark.
"Are you awake? There is an inn nearby. Let's go there and rest for the night."
Wei Qingcheng rubbed against him affectionately: "Yeah, okay!"
After getting off the carriage, there was a dense jungle nearby, with only a small inn on the roadside. Yisi and Awu led the horses to the stable.
Before entering the door, I could hear the noisy voices inside. The inn was not big, but there were many people.
"Business is pretty good here, there are a lot of people passing by,"
Wei Qingcheng didn't dress too ostentatiously. He and Xie Jingyu both changed into ordinary clothes, fearing that they might be targeted by bandits on the road.
"It's probably because there's only one nearby, so there are so many people."
Xie Jingyu held his wrist.
The four of them found an empty table and sat down. The restaurant did not employ waiters, only the boss and his wife were in charge. The boss was in the kitchen, and the boss's wife was in the front hall.
Seeing that they had sat down, he came over and announced the names of the dishes: "The wines are yellow wine and rice wine, the staple foods are rice and steamed buns, and the dishes are stir-fried lettuce and stir-fried beans..."
The environment was very simple, and there was not even a menu. People just had to listen to her and wait for her to finish naming the dishes.
Xie Jingyu said, "Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried beans, garlic eggplant, and four bowls of rice. Please also get some hot water. My wife has a weak spleen and stomach and should not drink alcohol."
The lady boss looked at the four people and went to the kitchen in confusion.
Wei Qingcheng shook the hand held by Xie Jingyu under the table and said with her head down: "Don't say that after we get out. It's weird."
Seeing his ears were red, Xie Jingyu knew that he was shy again, so he scratched his palm: "What's wrong, Madam? Don't you want me to call you that? But Madam still relies on you to warm the bed at night. You don't recognize me as soon as you put on your clothes. It really makes me feel very disappointed."
Awu and Yisi wanted to cut off their ears at this moment. They were staring at the table, crunching the peanuts given by the store.
B4: The prince is not like this usually. Give me back the cold and cruel prince!
Awu: The young master is not like this usually. Give me back the cool and cold-hearted young master!
Wei Qingcheng still wanted to save face when outside: "Humph, I don't want you to warm me up tonight!"
Xie Jingyu leaned close to him and whispered in Wei Qingcheng's ear, "Really? It's out in the wilderness, there's no hot water bottle or soft blanket. When the wind blows at night, it will be very cold. By then, your feet and hands will be cold, and your face will be cold if it's exposed outside."
Wei Qingcheng pushed him. What a fool! Why did he get so close to her when he was just talking? It made his ears itch. But who can blame him for being kind? It was so pitiful for Xie Jingyu to sleep alone.
He raised his chin and said, "Then I'll just keep you to warm my bed!"
While they were talking, the proprietress brought the side dishes. Xie Jingyu put some stir-fried pork with peppers into Wei Qingcheng's bowl of rice.
"Okay, I'll serve you the food and warm your bed. Please don't chase me out to sleep!"
Wei Qingcheng glared back at him seductively, and Xie Jingyu accepted it with a smile. An ambiguous atmosphere spread around them.
The people around them were noisy and paid no attention to them, which made it difficult for Awu and Yisi. If they spoke, it would be bad since their master didn't ask them to speak. If they didn't speak, they would feel uncomfortable.
The two of them could only stare at each other. Yi Si also imitated Xie Jingyu and picked up food for A Wu. A Wu felt that he had something to do and didn't seem so embarrassed anymore, so he picked up food for Yi Si as well. The two of them were busy at the table and having a great time.
After dinner, the proprietress arranged a guest room and looked at Xie Jingyu and Wei Qingcheng in confusion as they entered a room...
