two ears pricked up

Compared with the ecstasy in his heart when Bai Xi moved into Huo's house, he didn't know that Huo Zheng felt awkward.

Just imagine that some time ago, Bai Xi was still the "sister-in-law" he respected and took care of. In just a few days, the change in gender and identity made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Bai Xi and him are also getting closer, Huo Zheng subconsciously told himself that he could not go beyond the obstacles of the distinction between men and women.

But now that Bai Xi has regained his male body, the handsome and charming young man exudes an aura that makes people approachable everywhere, and Bai Xi's wet and embarrassed appearance on a rainy night is always in his mind. Huo Zheng feels pity and guilt, facing the Bai Xi's intimate 'entanglement', he couldn't bear to yell at him any more.

Bai Xi was born with the magic power to make people soft-hearted towards him, but Huo Zheng was unknowingly bewitched.

The two of them live their lives without any grievances, and Huo Zheng has to plan carefully for basic necessities of life, taking care of Bai Xi first in everything.

The next day was sunny and clear.After resting for a day, Huo Zheng's body returned to normal. He didn't look sick in the slightest, but he was white and slender. In order to take care of others, his round cheeks seemed to be thinner again.

There was some fine grain left in the house, and Huo Zheng never touched it during the days when Bai Xi left.Huo Zheng himself may not have noticed anything wrong, but subconsciously he is used to taking care of Bai Xi intimately, as if it was a matter of course.

He gets up early to make porridge, sits on a small fire, and boils the rice soup until it is thick, white and soft. He sprinkles the minced meat, mixes five spices, and some medicinal materials to warm and nourish qi and blood.

Stepping on her bare feet, Bai Xi searched into the kitchen, articulate.

Huo Zheng lowered his eyes, saw that his feet were clean, and ordered, "Put on your shoes."

Bai Xi thumped back into the room to put on her shoes, then thumped out again, her moon-white sash fluttering, like a little fairy who had strayed into the world by mistake.

The little fairy picked up the tacky little wooden basin, took the cloth handkerchief Huo Zheng handed him, and went to the yard to fetch water for washing.

While drinking the porridge, the two had some quarrels, Bai Xi divided the rice porridge in the bowl into two, waited for the wind to cool down, and asked Huo Zheng to drink the porridge with him.

The thin rice was originally left by Huo Zheng specially for him, Huo Zheng ate coarse grains to wrap his belly, and seeing that he didn't drink porridge, Bai Xi also insisted on not drinking it.

Unable to argue, Huo Zheng had no choice but to take the rice porridge that Bai Xi had made for him and drink it three or two times. After breakfast, in the shade, Huo Zheng and Bai Xi sat side by side at the bottom of the tree in the yard, with their legs touching each other. The arms are pressed against each other, and the posture is indescribably intimate.

Bai Xi's side face was beautiful and innocent, Huo Zheng stared silently for a moment, and asked: "Why don't you go back and look for your relatives, we...we just met by chance after all."

"Dear?"

Bai Xi recalled the years when he stayed in the mountains, his mother was hunted and killed by other wild animals shortly after giving birth.

He hid in the mountains, and escaped from the mouth of wild beasts. He had no intention of gaining a glimpse of the way of cultivation. Unknowingly, he lived for such a long time, which was also a lonely time.

Day after year, year after year, the scenery in the mountains, even the alternation of the sun and the moon, seems to remain unchanged. There is no worry and happiness, but at the same time it is long and boring, full of fear.

He has seen other animals die of old age, sickness, or become food in the belly of other ferocious wild beasts. Some of them try to practice like him and leave the animal path. Their lifespan is not long, and most of them leave without practicing Taoism. .

So he has no relatives.

Bai Xi shook his head, "I only have clang, I don't have any relatives."

Huo Zheng: "..."

In Huo Zheng's understanding, Bai Xi's implication was that all his relatives had passed away, but Bai Xi seemed to be very different from ordinary people's habits, and his family background should be good.

Huo Zheng asked, "What's your name?"

Bai Xi glanced at him puzzled, wondering why Huo Zheng was so obsessed with his name, "My name is Bai Xi."

Bai Xi'er and Bai Xi didn't listen carefully, and it was not easy to hear the difference. Huo Zheng had too many doubts in his heart, "Why did you enter the sedan chair instead of Miss Bai and marry into the Huo family? What is your relationship with the Bai family? ?”

"The Bai family?" Bai Xi muttered, "I don't know any Bai family."

It had been a while since he came out of the mountain, if Huo Zheng hadn't mentioned it, Bai Xi would have forgotten what happened when he first came down the mountain.

So he intermittently told Huo Zheng that he went to eat at Bai's house after going down the mountain, and then fell asleep inexplicably. Although his words were a bit vague, it was not difficult to understand.

Huo Zheng connected these broken memories and dredged them again, and he knew that Bai Xi had set up a trap for the Bai family members, and after coma, he married his eldest brother instead of Miss Bai family.

And he was even more blind-eyed, always mistaking Bai Xi for a woman and treating her as his sister-in-law.

What kind of sister-in-law, the Bai family didn't have any sincerity to marry Bai Xi'er, all the things that happened were reduced to a joke.

Huo Zheng was so angry that he wished he could immediately find someone from the Bai family to seek justice for his eldest brother, but after the anger passed, he couldn't do anything.

The Bai family had already let the fake Bai Xi'er marry his elder brother in front of everyone in the village. They saved their reputation and kept Bai Xi'er. If they wanted to deny it, he would have nothing to do with her.

It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework, and it's hard to find out why it's justified in the Yamen.

Huo Qianjun's life that could not be saved, the farm sold by the Huo family, and Bai Xi's being deceived may all be predestined.

Huo Zheng closed his eyes in silence, looked at him carefully, and carefully asked: "Are you angry?"

Huo Zheng said: "This matter has nothing to do with you."

Bai Xi murmured, and lightly placed her palms on Huo Zheng's thighs, wiggling her fingers to play with herself.

Huo Zheng lowered his eyes and silently agreed.

After noon, Huo Zheng wanted to go out.

Recently, he plans to go to the mountains to hunt some small animals and sell them in the city. After the rain, the animals in the mountains like to go out of their holes to look for food.

Huo Zheng took this opportunity to take out the long-standing hunting gear in the miscellaneous room and wipe off the dust. The man who had a high fever the night before had a serious look on his face and was ready to go. Bai Xi followed beside him and saw the shining hook. With a chill on his neck, some bloody and terrifying images from a long time ago flooded into his mind.

Bai Xi stammered and asked, "Zheng, Zhengzheng, are you going up the mountain to hunt?"

When he was a rabbit he escaped a trap, and because of this, he avoids any place that has been stepped on.

Huo Zheng answered him briefly, picked up his bow, and tried to shoot an arrow towards the wall of the courtyard, with a heroic spirit condensed between his brows, not angry but arrogant.

He turned his head and said, "I'm going out, you should rest at home."

Then he paused for a while, and said: "You and I have no relatives in this world, we are dependent on each other, you are much younger than me, from today on, I will call you Brother Bai."

Bai Xi tilted his head, remembering that Butterfly once called him Xiaobai affectionately, so he said, "Xiaobai!"

Huo Zheng: "..."

Bai Xi's eyes flickered, he grabbed his sleeves and softly called out, "Xiaobai Xiaobai."

Huo Zheng nodded, "Xiaobai."

"Xiaobai, I'm going out."

Bai Xi escorted him to the door, and after he walked out of sight, he covered his cheeks with a smirk and ran back to the yard.

==

As dusk fell, Huo Zheng entered the door, carrying a few hares that had been shot to death in his hands. The blood was coagulated between the hairs, and they had been dead for a while.Bai Xi happily waited for him, seeing clearly the animals he had hunted back, her smile disappeared suddenly, and for the first time, she did not cling to Huo Zheng. When Huo Zheng was dealing with the hare by the well, Bai Xi curled up in a corner and wiped tears secretly .

When eating, Bai Xi avoids the pot of rabbit meat so fragrant that it makes people drool, and bites the vegetables with red eyes.

Huo Zheng picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, "Why don't you eat meat?"

Taking advantage of the light to take a closer look, I soon realized that Bai Xi had cried.

"Xiaobai?" Huo Zheng put down the bowl and chopsticks, and waited patiently for Baixi to speak.

Bai Xi shook his head in a trance, sighed worriedly, "I'm fine."

He thought wildly, if he turned back into a rabbit in the future, would Zhengzheng shoot him and turn him into a pot of rabbit meat?

That night, the worried Bai Xi picked up the quilt, he stretched out his hand to touch it, his forehead was hot, he must have been ill, he got up tossed and turned, and went to Huo Zheng's room.

On the fourth watch, Bai Xi's face was flushed with fever, Huo Zheng just opened the door, and heard him groan.

"Zhengzheng, I seem to be sick..."

As soon as his words fell, Huo Zheng hurriedly put the man who had softened into a puddle into his arms.
