two ears pricked up

The rain and fog were thick, and when Bai Xi ran outside Huo's house, his whole body was already soaked.The rain drifted in obliquely, the thin clothes stuck to his body, and his hair was wet and sticking to his cheeks, and he shook the water drops from his hair, shivering under the eaves with his arms around him.

knock knock --

The sound of knocking on the door lock was hidden in the night like vermilion ink, as if isolated by water mist.

Bai Xi knocked on the door resolutely, and before he hurriedly fled, he remembered that Huo Zheng had already woken up. Could it be that the other party really refused him cruelly, even refusing to open the door for him?

Just when he gave up leaving in despair, the door bolt was opened from the inside.

Bai Xi turned his head, Huo Zheng rushed out directly, he heard the other party's inaudible panting, the candle lamp was not lifted, and the skirt of his clothes was half wet.

In the darkness, the two of them could clearly see each other's distressed appearance through the flickering glimmer of light.Bai Xi couldn't understand, he just ran back and forth, why did Huo Zheng change his appearance?

He dragged his sprained foot and took a step forward, his mouth was aggrieved, and he called softly, "Clank..."

Step by step, he slowly moved towards Huo Zheng. He was too wet. He wanted to rely on the other person to absorb warmth, but he was afraid of passing on the chill in his body to others. His eyes were expectant and timid, and the rain that brushed his face slid down the tip of his nose to his chin. , Tick-tock did not enter the neckline, he walked up to Huo Zheng and approached, whispered: "I don't want to go..."

He repeated the same sentence softly, staring stubbornly at Huo Zheng's dark eyes, "Don't drive me away, please, I really don't want to leave."

Bai Xi was embarrassed and pitiful, this appearance was reflected in Huo Zheng's eyes, and the high fever instantly spread from his forehead to his eye sockets.

The first time he saw Bai Xi, Huo Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable.The sudden fever not only scorched his body and brain, but also burned his heart which had been faintly suspended for a few days after seeing Bai Xi.Limbs are heavy and weak, even so, when Huo Zheng was lying in the house and fell asleep, he heard the noise from outside the door. At first he only thought that he had fainted from burning out and had auditory hallucinations, but the sound of knocking on the door was so persistent, Huo Zheng immediately thought of Bai Xi .

"Zhengzheng, I don't want to go..." Bai Xi muttered in a daze, and the hand hanging by his side was suddenly pulled up by Huo Zheng.

Huo Zheng was burning hot, his palms were thick and scalding, and Bai Xi was drenched in the rain for a while, his palms were cold and soft, and the cold and the hot collided together, as if they had smashed something invisible, causing both of them to startle at the same time. They looked at each other silently.

Huo Zheng regretted it.

After he drove Bai Xi out of the house, he wavered and felt restless for several days, until now seeing Bai Xi appearing in front of him in despair, he suddenly realized that he regretted kicking her out, it shouldn't be.

He was ashamed of his cruelty.

The two of them were drenched outside the door, and Huo Zheng took Bai Xi back to the house after he realized it.

Bai Xi's eyes were firmly locked on the hands they were holding. After entering the room, Huo Zheng let him go, but he held back his hands, his eyes were wet, and he asked him in a panic, "Zhengzheng, are you still driving me away?"

Huo Zheng shook his head, his throat was as dry and hoarse as it was burned by the fire, and said: "I'll go find some clean clothes, wait for me for a while."

"Oh!" Bai Xi waited on the spot, and Huo Zheng quickly found a set of clean rough kudzu clothes.

Now that he knows that Bai Xi is a man, Huo Zheng will definitely not exchange his daughter's clothes for him, but the men's clothes at home are all rough clothes, so he managed to find a set of old clothes that he had worn once. Huanxi took it, held Ge Yi to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and could smell Huo Zheng's unique aura.

His actions immediately made Huo Zheng uncomfortable, and his eyes became hotter.Qu covered his lips with his hands and cleared his throat, and said: "I'm going to boil some ginger water." After speaking, he rushed out the door, walked a few steps and did not forget to turn back, and carefully closed the door tightly.

Huo Zheng had broad shoulders and long legs, and the loose clothes completely covered Bai Xi's whole body, his hands and feet grew a lot, hanging on his body was no different from a singer in the class.Ge Yi's color is dull, and it sets off a very white and thin face.

The courtyard was illuminated by lanterns, and the light and shadow were dim under the mist.Huo Zheng brought two bowls of boiled ginger water into the house, and caught a glimpse of Bai Xi folding up his cuffs.

He went to squat down to help the other party raise his trousers, the ground was cold, and his thin white feet were freezing cold after being soaked in the shoes.

He said, "I'll go get you some hot water to soak your feet."

Huo Zheng wanted to go out again, Bai Xiyan quickly pulled him back, his dark eyes flickered, "Don't go, sit with me for a while." As he said that, he moved his buttocks outward, and pulled the seat back of the stool. The seat was vacated for Huo Zheng.

He carefully picked up one of the bowls of ginger water and took a sip, the spiciness surged, and his tongue hissed out.Huo Zhengchu was walking by the side, neither sitting nor sitting, Bai Xi turned to look at him, patted the position, "Sit."

Huo Zheng sat down, Bai Xi was always obedient, he didn't take the initiative to speak, Huo Zheng was also a dull gourd, the room suddenly fell into silence.It was late at night, the light was dim, and it was raining outside. This situation made people drowsy, and the heat that had cooled down in the body just now seemed to heat up again.

Huo Zheng caught a glimpse of Bai Xi's side face concentrating on drinking ginger water. The other party frowned from time to time. His eyebrows were beautiful, his skin was as white as pearls, and his long and dense eyelashes were gently flapping like two small fans. Maybe it was the ginger water that made him feel uncomfortable. The gas is slightly puffed up and looks very soft.Although Bai Xi's appearance is better than before, her behavior reveals a pure childishness.

He sighed secretly, it was hard to imagine that such a person turned out to be a man.

Huo Zheng looked away, picked up another bowl of ginger water and drank it silently.

Two empty bowls were placed side by side, and Bai Xi suddenly said, "I lied to you, I'm sorry, Zhengzheng."

His apology caused Huo Zheng's guilt to surge like mountains and seas. Bai Xi is a pure person, if he hadn't been foolish and clumsy to admit his mistake in the dark, what happened later would not have happened.It was him who was wrong, it was the Bai family, and Bai Xi was just an innocent victim who was involved.

Bai Xi can leave Huo's house, no matter what reason he leaves, but he should not be driven away by himself.

The candlelight swayed slightly with the wind that leaked into the room, and Huo Zheng's anxious heart swayed accordingly. He shook his head and said, "It's not your fault."

Having said that, Bai Xixin was still a little stuffy.He got close to Huo Zheng, and soon felt the overheated breath coming from the other person. Just now he felt warm, and now he remembered that when people are sick, the body will be hot, and Huo Zheng is afraid that he is sick.

Bai Xi thought so, and then heard Huo Zheng slowly say: "Just now I vaguely heard movement outside the house, thought it was an illusion, and opened the door slowly..."

"Yeah!" Bai Xi grinned, "I won't get angry easily."

During the few days of "wandering" outside, he didn't get angry about it. Bai Xi looked at Huo Zheng worriedly. Huo Zheng's complexion was dark and the light was dim.

Bai Xi wanted to touch his face, but rubbed his fingers on the clothes several times, not daring to touch it, and urged him, "Go and rest."

Huo Zheng was silent for a moment, Bai Xi was worried that he would repent, so he repeated what he had just said.

"Zhengzheng, are you really not driving me away?"

Huo Zheng said: "If you want to stay, then keep it."

When he entered the door, Huo Zheng noticed that Bai Xi was acting differently, and he kept thinking about it, "Show me your right hand."

"Huh?" The arm was still hurting, Bai Xi curled up his hand, hesitatingly thinking about how to speak, Huo Zheng directly opened the whole sleeve, there were red punctures on the white arm, Huo Zheng checked for him, okay There were no thorns left in the skin, but being injured by the thorny vines spreading from the corner of the wall was enough to make Bai Xi choke with pain.

Huo Zheng's eyes were gloomy, he bent and squatted down, his eyes were on the white and thin legs, "left or right?"

Bai Xi shook her left foot lightly, Huo Zheng pulled off her trousers immediately, her legs and feet were cold to the touch, and her ankles were red and swollen.

Huo Zheng went out to boil hot water and took out the medicine for bruises. Farmers worked outside all year round, bumps or bites by snakes and insects happened from time to time, so there was no shortage of ointments and wine.

Bai Xi soaked his feet, applied medicine to Huo Zheng's correction of the bones, and evenly applied a layer of cool ointment to the wounds on his arms.

She didn't sleep all night, but her white eyes were very bright.He shuffled up from the stool, bouncing up and down despite his injuries, "Zhengzheng, go back and rest for a while."

Huo Zheng's complexion was as usual, if it weren't for the hot hands he touched when he was applying the medicine, Bai Xi couldn't imagine that a person would fall into such a high fever state.

Seeing that Huo Zheng seemed to be standing there dazed, Bai Xi leaned over worriedly, her eyes circling him.

"Zhengzheng, are you okay?"

"..."

He took Huo Zheng's hot palm, intending to lead him into the room.

The heat swept over Huo Zheng's body, his hands and feet were heavy and his thoughts were stagnant, Bai Xi couldn't hold him steady, so he had to put Huo Zheng's entire arm on his shoulders to support him back to the room.

The two swayed to and fro outside the door, Huo Zheng still had a sliver of consciousness, he licked his dry lips, and wanted to speak to Bai in detail, but unexpectedly his eyes darkened, bang——

Bai Xi was lifted up by Huo Zheng and fell to the ground, her tall body weighed heavily on him, the breath sprayed on her neck was scorching hot, Bai Xi touched Huo Zheng's hot face, feeling at a loss what to do.

Zhengzheng is just sick, he won't die, right?
