Chang Le, wake up!
May you always be happy!
Hua Changle slowly regained consciousness and first heard 422's voice: [Changle, how are you feeling now?]
Hua Changle shook his head, took a deep breath, and slowly got up after feeling that there was nothing wrong with his body.
She turned her head and looked around. It was a dilapidated but still sturdy little wooden house.
She looked down at the hard bed beneath her; everything felt unfamiliar.
The environment was completely different from when they first entered the Chuihu Secret Realm.
"What happened? Where are Kulei and the others?"
I don't know either. When my vision returned, you were already here. I sensed my surroundings; there was no one else.
Hua Changle felt a moment of panic, but then calmed down. She got out of bed, intending to go outside and take a look.
She had just gotten out of bed when someone came towards her.
"Huh? You're awake?"
A gentle voice rang out, as if bathing one in a spring breeze.
Hua Changle looked closely and saw that it was a young man in his early twenties.
With excellent bone structure, ancient charm in her eyebrows and eyes, and a pair of very light amber eyes adorned with starlight, it was as if one were looking into honey water sprinkled with frosting sugar.
He was only wearing an old, thick cloak, but he had a refined and elegant demeanor, a tall and slender figure, and walked as if he were a noble young master from ancient times.
Unlike Bai Xie's inherent aloofness and pride, his temperament naturally makes people want to get close to him.
"Excuse me, why am I here?" Hua Changle asked. "Who are you?"
The young man's pale lips curled slightly: "I found Miss unconscious at the village entrance. Fearing for her safety, I took the liberty of bringing her back to recuperate."
I am a villager named Mingxi, Ming as in "divine," and Xi as in "Xihe."
"Mingxi? The god of the sun? What a beautiful name!"
Mingxi smiled and said, "Miss is too kind. May I ask your surname?"
Hua Changle rolled her eyes and said, "My name is Xiao Le, you can just call me that."
"Okay, Xiao Le."
Mingxi suddenly stepped forward, took off his cloak, and reached out to drape it over her shoulders, but she instinctively stepped back to avoid it.
Mingxi explained, "The weather is cool, and you are weak, so be careful not to catch a cold."
Hua Changle quickly declined, saying, "It's alright, I'm not cold, I'm perfectly healthy!"
What a joke! You can't just wear clothes given to you by a stranger, can you?
She probably hasn't read "Journey to the West"!
Where did this handsome and considerate man come from? Is this some kind of windfall? There's no way such a good thing could happen!
She's all alone now, so she should be careful!
Mingxi's eyebrows drooped, and he forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. These clothes are so old, it's really inappropriate to give them to Xiaole."
Is that because of this?
Hua Changle instantly felt that after saying this, it seemed like she was in the wrong, that she was being too pretentious!
She immediately became more wary: Could this person also be skilled in tea ceremony?
However, Mingxi didn't say anything more, but instead restrained himself and gestured for him to enter.
"Xiao Le, you should sit down. It will be very uncomfortable if you get sick."
Hua Changle was about to say that she wouldn't get sick when she suddenly felt a tickle in her throat and a cough immediately welled up inside her!
She immediately began to cough violently, until her throat ached and her breathing became rapid.
She was shocked to discover that her respirator was gone! Her physical strength had decreased significantly! And her supernatural abilities…
They're gone!
It's not that it's unusable, it's that I can't feel it at all!
What's going on?
Hua Changle panicked a little. The more panicked she became, the more violently she coughed, and a metallic taste came out of her throat.
Mingxi hurriedly poured her a glass of water, and she didn't care about anything else, taking two small sips in a restrained manner. The cough subsided, but a chill immediately rushed up.
It's so cold!
Mingxi noticed her distress and was at a loss for what to do:
"Are you cold? I told you it was chilly, but I don't have any other clothes..."
He turned his head and saw the blanket, reached out and pulled it up, wrapped it around her, and naturally pulled her into his arms.
"Bunny, what's going on?"
"...I'm not sure either...but don't act rashly right now. It's like winter outside, and you're currently like a weak, ordinary person. Going out like this will easily make you sick."
Hua Changle secretly grimaced at him, but obediently remained wrapped in the blanket.
Winter! Damn! No wonder it's so cold!
Is this what you call cool weather? This sweetness is called freezing!
etc!
Hua Changle then realized that the two of them seemed to be in a bit too intimate.
She leaned against this man's chest, and when she turned her head, she saw his jawline, which was even more defined than her cleavage. Above that, there were his tender and affectionate eyes.
Hua Changle was stunned for a moment, then suddenly leaned back and fell onto the bed in fright!
Holy crap! How did they end up hugging??
Mingxi maintained his half-embracing posture, looking at her with a hurt expression.
She sat up, wrapped in the blanket like a caterpillar, and said awkwardly:
"Sorry, I'm not comfortable being this close to men... I'm sorry..."
Mingxi tilted her head in confusion: "But I didn't offend you. I was just worried you were cold."
Hua Changle: "..."
How is she supposed to explain this?
For some girls, getting close without their consent doesn't bring them pleasure, okay?
Why must an excessive action be considered offensive?
"Never mind." Mingxi's expression lost its initial enthusiasm, and her tone became low, as if she were angry.
He got up and went to the side, took out a box from the cabinet and tidied it up, making a loud clanging sound.
