But he couldn't see her clearly.

The exploration in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Sorry, young master, I have to change clothes first." Cheng Zhi lowered her head, at least at this moment, she didn't want to face him.

Stepped out, only took two steps.

With a tight wrist, she was easily pulled back.

The man's breath rolled over the corners of his nose and lips, as cold as his voice.

"Are you blaming me?"

Huo Linyuan was not sure.

He has been for a long, long time, unable to fully see her thoughts.

"No," Cheng Zhi drooped her pointed chin, "I'm afraid of catching a cold, which will delay my work."

Inexplicably, his hand suddenly loosened.

Before he could say another word, Cheng Zhi tightened the towel and ran out of the bathroom quickly.

Cheng Lingshan's perfume smelled all over him.

Staying for another second, she would be on the verge of suffocation.

"Miss Cheng, I have ointment for burns." Aunt Zhao quickly greeted her as she wiped the water from her hands on her apron.

With that said, he led Cheng Zhi to the guest bedroom not far from the stairs.

"This is my room. The bigger room next door is yours, Miss Cheng." Aunt Zhao explained.

"Call me Cheng Zhi or Xiao Zhi, Auntie." Cheng Zhi's face was pale, and she treated the wound in front of the mirror.

There are large patches of red around the neck and collarbone, in stark contrast to the surrounding white skin.

Aunt Zhao found her clean clothes and stood beside her holding them with a worried face.

"Is it too hot? If you get blisters, you still have to go to the hospital."

"It's just red and swollen, it's okay." Cheng Zhi forced a smile at her.

She didn't go next door that night, but slept next to Aunt Zhao.

She sleeps very well, curled up into a shrimp in a corner of the bed, no matter whether she is asleep or not, she will not move around all night.

Hearing footsteps in the middle of the night, Aunt Zhao put on her clothes and opened the door and poked her head out. She saw a pair of cold and sharp eyes in the darkness, and she turned around.

With a soft "Oops" to ease her shock, Aunt Zhao lowered her voice and asked, "Master, are you hungry?"

Because of Miss Cheng's arrival, he didn't eat anything for dinner.

Huo Linyuan gave a casual "hmm" and asked, "In your room?"

After a moment of reaction, Aunt Zhao understood.

The young master is here to see Cheng Zhi.

People are always prone to emotional fluctuations at night, and he still can't suppress his worries, or he can't help himself.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Aunt Zhao replied in a low voice: "Yes, I was restless in the first half of the night, and finally fell asleep, and started crying again."

As she spoke, she felt distressed, "I didn't make a sound, I just panted lightly and shed tears."

long silence.

Huo Linyuan nodded in the dark, "Where's the injury?"

"No problem, no blisters."

After that, there was nothing to say, and they went back to their rooms, as if nothing had happened.

At breakfast the next day, the omelette served was burnt black.

Huo Linyuan was picky about a few words, and the words were very unpleasant.

Cheng Zhi just bowed his head and apologized, with a strong nasal voice.

She caught a cold.

Aunt Zhao stood in the kitchen at a loss, thinking that when she met the young master in the early morning, she was probably dreaming or hitting a ghost.

Breakfast broke up.

After that, Cheng Zhi learned housework for a day.

At night, Huo Linyuan went home after drinking.

The dinner didn't seem to be very pleasant, the way he looked over after entering the door made Cheng Zhi feel terrible.

"Anti-alcoholic medicine." Aunt Zhao handed the tray to Cheng Zhi and left quickly.

Huo Linyuan raised his hand and pressed his forehead, looking very uncomfortable, staring at the water glass without moving.

"Drink some water first." Cheng Zhi squatted beside him, bringing the glass to the corner of his lips.

Huo Linyuan held her wrist, his palm was hot, and the strength was uncertain and heavy.

"Clothes, take off."
