two ears pricked up

The rooster crowed everywhere, white smoke wafted from the kitchen, Huo Zheng stayed inside to prepare breakfast, Hu Yan took Black Pearl and the cat out early in the morning, when they came back from a walk, Lan Po was shaking her legs in the courtyard, Bai Xi hadn't seen yet figure.

After a night of fun, the faint golden light leaks into the house from the floating gauze, making it warm and peaceful.

Bai Xi stays in the dream, the pillow is tilted to one side, half of the face sinks into the soft bedding, the dream is beautiful, and the corner of the mouth is smiling.

Huo Zheng brought a basin of water into the room, wet a cloth towel and slowly wiped his face, his movements were gentle, he didn't want to wake him up.

He stared quietly, suddenly saw Bai Xi mumbled something vaguely, turned his whole face, the cheek that was pressed on one side was stuck to the sideburns, leaving red marks.

Huo Zheng pushed aside, resting his fingertips on the delicate skin, he leaned over and kissed it.

The man's lips stayed there for a moment, Huo Zheng focused his attention, and saw the long eyelashes fluttering slightly, revealing the moist and hazy pupils a little bit.

"noob."

Huo Zheng rolled his lips to his eyes, and when he spoke, the tip of his tongue touched his eyelids, making them a little wet.

"It's time to get up, the sun is on your ass."

When his eyes became clear again, the corners of Bai thin's mouth curled up, his arms wrapped tightly around Huo Zheng's shoulders, his forehead and the man pressed each other into an intimate posture, and he played lazily and said lazily: "Oh, clang, I can't move my hands and feet. .”

The strength of holding him tightly in his hands gradually increased, Huo Zheng didn't expose him, he held back his smile, picked him up like a baby, and did his best to help him dress and put on shoes, and picked up a comb to comb his hair.

After washing up, the two of them went outside the house holding hands, Hu Yan put down the shovel and shook his head, their faces were so greasy, they knew what happened last night without even thinking about it.

Hu Yan thought of that idiot young master again, and wondered if Yan Xuechong had been punished by Master Yan after returning home yesterday.

Three people, a dog and a cat sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool and had breakfast. Halfway through the meal, something bumped against the door, making a lot of noise.

Hu Yan said: "Who would come here so early at this time." Yan Xuechong's stupid boy was wounded, he couldn't be so stupid as to drag his weak body over.

Huo Zheng put down the bowls and chopsticks and went there, the door opened, he was stunned for a moment, met the innocent deer with big eyes blinking wet, opened the door, and let it enter the courtyard sideways.

"Xiaobai, come and take a look."

The body is white and thin, and the eyes are full of silver and white.

The silver-colored fairy deer is obviously full of curiosity about this place, with its head tilted to the left and right, and a pair of long horns glowing in the light.

"Ah!" He exclaimed, Heizhu and Mao'er followed behind him, Xianlu poked his neck down, looking at Baixi with very docile eyes.

Heizhu kept stepping on his claws, whining in his throat, and looked at it from a certain distance.

"Don't be nervous, Black Pearl, it has no malicious intentions."

The fairy deer in front of him is exactly the one that Bai Xi rescued at Milu Mountain that day.

Bai Xi attached himself to Xianlu's head and asked why it came running over. Xianlu lowered his body and lay down, his round wet eyes seemed to overflow with tears, and told him the ins and outs of the matter.

The fairy deer came from a long distance, one is to ask Bai Xi to repay the previous life-saving grace, and the other is related to hunting.

The Elk Mountain has been completely reduced to a hunting ground. In the past, only people went to the mountain to hunt in spring and autumn every year. Since this year, a group of people will enter the mountain every other season. The animals in the mountain do not want to stay there anymore. They flee the mountain together. On the way, people were found to be shot and killed. They ran and scattered, stripped of their fur, bones and horns, their hearts, livers, lungs and intestines, and the greed of human nature.

Xianlu's eyes were full of begging, hoping that Bai Xi would adopt it.Yucheng is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and a deer will not feel bored if he stays here.

Bai Xi was originally soft-hearted, seeing this, he couldn't bear to refuse, and asked Huo Zheng for advice.

Whatever he wanted to do, Huo Zheng never stopped him, "I will naturally support what you want to do."

In this way, Bai Xi left the fairy deer at home, and Lan Po was very surprised to see a beautiful deer so close to her, but she was also rare for this extremely beautiful and aura-like deer.

Hu Yan looked at the deer, dogs and cats in the yard, thinking of himself and Bai Xi's real body, a litter of animals, he lowered his head and smiled secretly.

-

The sun was shining brightly, and the cicadas were singing again and again. The students were shaking their heads and studying. They wore light clothes and held rocking fans. Even so, everyone was sweating.

The master said: "Calm down and cool down."

The students stopped shaking their fans, holding back until the end of get out of class, couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to the pool outside the courtyard in unison, to get some coolness.

Yan Xuechong seemed to have softened his bones, lying listlessly on the desk, drowsy, with white shadows flickering, but it was Hu Yan standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.

Hu Yan said, "Come with me for a while."

The few students who stayed in the school looked at each other in blank dismay, and after the two left, they whispered and speculated, no one could guess.

-

"Master..."

Turning into the corridor, taking advantage of no one around, Hu Yan took Yan Xuechong's arm, stared at his strange walking posture, and said, "Your father beat you again when you go back?"

"No." Yan Xuechong said, "Father only punished me to face the wall in the study for an hour."

Hu Yan was displeased, "Your foot is injured, you can't stand it even if you stand for an hour."

Bringing Yan Xuechong into the quiet room, Hu Yan bent his knees, trying to lift his hem.

Yan Xuechong pushed it away with some strength, "I, I will do it myself, master, you should sit down, don't squat..."

Because of not having a good rest at night, Yan Xuechong's face turned pale, but his body was still weak after all, and ten days and a half months would not be enough to make up for the exhausted Yuanyang energy.

He pulled up his hem and took off his shoes and socks under Hu Yan's watchful eye. Some of the exposed wounds were healing, and some were inflamed due to the hot weather.

Hu Yan said: "What about behind?"

Yan Xuechong lifted up her clothes with a blushing face, her warm breath caressed her skin, causing a pimple.

Hu Yan frowned, "Fortunately, the wound on the back is not inflamed. Did you change the dressing yesterday? The Yan family has a big business, why can't even take good care of the most favored young master?"

"I was negligent, master, don't be angry." Yan Xuechong explained in a low voice.

He lost Yuanyang and lost energy. After being punished last night, he couldn't open his eyelids. He dismissed his servants, told them not to disturb his rest, and fell asleep until dawn.

The appearance of him voluntarily accepting punishment for doing something wrong is somewhat pitiful. Hu Yan stared at his downcast eyebrows, unable to get angry, let alone scold. I'll bring you some food in, and you're not allowed to leave without my permission, your medicine should be changed."

The news that Yan Xuechong was sent to the quiet room by Master Hu for half a day quickly spread in the academy.

When it was time for a break, Bai Xi found Huo Zheng at the training ground and said he was going to see Yan Xuechong.

Huo Zheng wiped the sweat off his body casually, "I'll go with you."

The quiet room is located in the side yard, and only the masters in the academy can enter and leave. When Huo Zheng led Bai Xi to Hu Yan's place, they stopped in the corridor, neither of them motionless.

The branches and leaves are still, the sun is shining brightly, and time is frozen at this moment.

Through the window, Huo Zheng and Bai Xi looked at the two people who were gently embracing each other in the quiet room, and they understood something clearly.
