Into Liaozhai and falling in love

"what happened?"

Lu Qian opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing that caught his eyes was Yan Chixia staring at his own face, his eyes gradually moved down, and fell on the teacup whose water surface was still trembling in his hand, and supported the bed with his hands sit up.

Shaking his drowsy head, he asked awkwardly, "Are you there?"

I seemed to see something just now, was it a dream, I can't remember it at all.

The moment the words came out, Lu Qian realized that the air around him was too dry and thin. He had slept for too long, and his throat was already unbearably dry, so his eyes for help naturally fell on Yan Chixia.

"Drink." Yan Chixia seemed to be waiting for him with a water glass, helping him to sit up, and even shook his hand to help him hold the glass.

The two eyes stared at him with wetness and sparkle, and even the arm that couldn't be lifted temporarily due to numbness didn't feel so uncomfortable.

Sensing that his movements were stiff, Yan Chixia frowned, looked at his face again, and turned her head: "The cup is clean, I have washed it, but I haven't drunk it."

"..." Rolling his eyes, Lu Qian moved his fingers weakly, "I just... my arm..." Who cares about your saliva.

The attention was always on his pale cheeks, but he didn't notice that his right arm was drooping from beginning to end, and after he was fully awake, his face gradually distorted, obviously in pain.

Yan Chixia frowned even tighter, squeezed his forearm and asked, "Apart from the arm, where else is it uncomfortable?"

Lu Qian watched him put down the teacup and massage his arms in a series of flowing movements, and he laughed in his heart, but he still pretended to be unhappy: "It's not all because of you, I used to sleep like that. It's not good, if you don't sleep with me, see how I sleep."

"Hiss—" Lu Qian's eyes widened suddenly, "I said you should be gentle, this is your fault in the first place, and you should make up for me, but you are still resentful."

"..." Well, let's pretend it was my fault for not sleeping with you, and Yan Chixia didn't argue with him, showing that he fixed his shoulder, pulled his right arm away and tapped twice on an unknown acupuncture point on the upper arm Bundle.

Lu Qian screamed out, the whole right side of his body was numb, his waist became limp and he threw himself forward. Fortunately, the bed was covered with a thick quilt, which prevented him from losing his appearance.

Lifting his face angrily, before Lu Qian could curse, he heard Yan Chixia lightly say yes, and raised his arm subconsciously.Sure enough, after that moment of intense soreness, the arm really didn't feel like it was being pricked by fine embroidery needles just now.

He looked at Yan Chixia in surprise, he didn't expect Facial Paralysis to be an all-round housekeeper, capable of everything!

Such a person, Lu Qian licked and looked at him with emotion at the corner of his dry lips, it would be great to stay by his side forever.

"I didn't expect to have a stiff neck after becoming a ghost." Lu Qian complained in a low voice, and immediately got up and gave a thumbs up to praise. "Brilliant, really amazing."

He plunged into Yan Chixia's arms: "Come here, I will give you a rewarding hug."

Yan Chixia: "..." Putting his hand on his forehead to keep the distance between the two of them, "Don't move, drink some water."

Lu Qian was wronged: "I can't lift my hand yet."

"No way." Yan Chixia looked puzzled, he was particularly assured of his technique, maybe the acupoints didn't have that strong effect on ghosts, "Get up, I'll help you look again."

"It's okay, I'll be fine in a while, I'm thirsty, where's the water?" Lu Qian nestled in his arms and directed, "Then you feed me first, my hands are uncomfortable."

Lu Qian was so thirsty that he kept urging Yan Chixia so badly that she became a full-time housekeeper, staring at him and swallowing hungrily.

The moist red lips opened and closed, and Yan Chixia could even see crystal clear drops of water running down the corners of his mouth.

Lu Qian wiped the corner of his mouth, and when his strength came back, he bluffed: "What's wrong with you, why is your face so red? Is there something uncomfortable?"

He made a gesture to reach out to touch his forehead, but Yan Chixia dodged it, "I'm fine."

The refusal to talk was full of meaning. Lu Qian's eyes were strange, but he didn't ask. He just told me like a good roommate: "Well, remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

Yan Chixia nodded slowly, but did not say what was wrong with her, did she have a fever, was she sick, or... shy?

"By the way, you called me just now?" Yan Chixia changed the subject calmly.

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot." Lu Qian looked at the dark sky outside, looked at him seriously and asked, "Do you remember what I told you before going to bed?"

"Yeah." Yan Chixia's face was slightly gloomy, he was standing sideways, Lu Qian couldn't see the look in his eyes clearly, he could only see the stiff arms hanging by his side, chuckled but didn't dare to make a sound.

"What about the others?" Lu Qian sat up straight, stretched his neck and looked, "Isn't it that you haven't come back yet? It's so late, something will happen if you go out." There was unconcealable worry in his words.

"I've already been back." Seeing that he was about to get out of bed and look for it herself, Yan Chixia helped him press the quilt, reluctantly said, "Just sit outside."

"?" Lu Qian tilted his head and looked at him, his glazed eyes blinked again and again, "What are you doing sitting outside at this hour, don't you think it's so spooky?"

"Shall I call him in?"

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Qian asked him.

"not very."

"No, the whole person feels weird." Lu Qian didn't pay too much attention to Yan Chixia, and while asking, he carefully arranged his clothes and climbed down from the bed, "Okay, then Tell him to come in, I have something to say to him."

Yan Chixia: "..." went to call someone without complaint.

After Ning Caichen came in, Lu Qian finally understood why he didn't feel the gloomy outside, because he was hundreds of times colder than the outside atmosphere, as if he had just crawled out of a branch, pale and weak.

He looked at Ning Caichen, who was shivering from the cold, and his lips were faintly blue-gray, his throat was choked for a moment, he never expected that his words would have such a great impact on him, and he couldn't even ask what he had said.

"Why don't you pour him a glass of water first." Lu Qian looked at Yan Chixia in embarrassment, while he stood in front of Ning Caichen, lowered his head slightly, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, "Are you okay?"

Yan Chixia: "..." Going to pour water, the teapot and cups jingled, as if she would die in the next second.

Lu Qian glanced at him, focusing on Ning Caichen's dead face. He admitted that he had looked at Ning Caichen with colored glasses from the moment he entered this world. To be honest, at this moment he still looks at Ning Caichen. He doesn't like Ning Caichen, and he is even more worried about the fact that the other party takes a fancy to his appearance.

I didn't want him to misunderstand me before, so I made it clear that even if I help him in the future, it is because this is my task, not the beautiful love story written in other scripts, but now the misunderstanding is gone, this person is not at all. Regardless of emotional development, look at the face.

But from the beginning to the end, Ning Caichen didn't do anything bad. It's impossible to keep rejecting him because he loves beauty. Besides, Ning Caichen seems to be really worried about himself.

Thinking of the movie that he has always loved, Lu Qian also feels weird. It is absolutely impossible to completely hate it, and he will definitely continue to contact Ning Caichen in the future. He really doesn't want the relationship between the two to become too rigid.

He took the hot tea from Yan Chixia's hand and handed it to Ning Caichen himself, and silently exchanged glances with Yan Chixia, who turned around and walked to the door consciously, leaning against the door frame to see the boundless night outside.

Under the dim light, Lu Qian inexplicably saw the meaning of loneliness, hurriedly looked away, and picked his fingers awkwardly: "Sorry, I spoke too much earlier."

Ning Caichen shook his head in a panic, took the teacup and held it in his arms. If it wasn't for the fact that his legs were weak from the cold just now, he would have stood up straight away, because the room was slightly warmer, and his originally stiff blue-gray face was much more relaxed: "No, This...wasn't your fault in the first place."

Of course it's not my fault. Is my face you have a dime relationship with me? I just can't bear to see you being so sad and sad. You don't look like a big man at all. Such a small ups and downs just want to freeze yourself If you die, how can you expect anything from you in the future.

Lu Qian didn't know how to comfort him, so he just said a few words and stopped talking about it. The showdown between him and Ning Caichen was like this, as long as this person knew that he liked someone else. Just pester him.

He hesitated for a while, organized the language to provoke another important topic: "Then can I ask you to do me a favor?"

A pair of eyes in front of him quickly lit up, Ning Caichen seemed to be returning to the light, his face was full of joy that it was my honor that you asked me to help, he asked repeatedly: "What's the matter, tell me."

Lu Qian: "..." I'm afraid of this, I owe you a favor, but unfortunately no one can help except Ning Caichen.

Although Lu Qian is not the real Nie Xiaoqian, he is indeed bound by the fate of Nie Xiaoqian in this world. He needs to help Nie Xiaoqian to follow the normal plot, not only to repay her kindness, but also to escape from this ancient temple completely.

He needs Ning Caichen to go out in person to take Nie Xiaoqian's ashes out of the ancient temple and put them in peace.

He was silent for a long while, then briefly summarized the whole matter with Ning Caichen, and added: "If the ashes have been in the ancient temple, I may not be able to leave the small forest for a hundred miles, so I need you to go there personally." Help me take out the ashes, and then just find a random place to bury it."

Ning Caichen was very excited to accept his task, and nodded like a pug: "Okay, okay, I'll go now, right away." Said this, he rushed out with all his thoughts.

Lu Qian's head hurt, and he grabbed his elbow: "Don't worry, I haven't told you where it is yet." Is this person reliable?

Ning Caichen scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Yeah, I don't know yours... yours..." He racked his brains for a while, but he didn't know what to call it.

When the person he liked said that the urn was not very good, Ning Caichen had no choice but to hide it with a smile, "Then Mr. Nie, you should tell me as soon as possible, it will be easier for me to move before it is dark."

Seeing his face eager to try, eager to show his appearance, he will definitely do his best. Lu Qian didn't know what to say, so he could only try his best to adjust a smiling face, bent down and bowed: "Then I am really grateful." Not his ashes, but it was his request after all.

To make such a timid scholar agree to go to the woods behind to get back the ashes without thinking, no matter what the original purpose was, Ning Caichen has helped him a lot, and he has no reason not to thank him.

Moreover, this favor will definitely be repaid, so do something small for him.

Yan Chixia looked over from a distance, just in time to meet Lu Qian's raised smiling face, she was startled and turned away to continue looking at the cold moon in the sky.

Lu Qian: "..." I almost forgot that there is another person who can help me repay the favor. It's okay, don't be afraid.

Thinking of this way, the smile on the corner of his mouth is also true. Lu Qian is not at ease that Ning Caichen is alone, but there is no one to accompany him, so he can only remind him again and again: "You are contaminated with my breath, and other ghosts see you!" You should automatically avoid it, as long as there is no one to find fault with, there will be no danger to your life, but --- nothing is absolute, if you feel reluctant, come back immediately.

Ning Caichen obediently nodded and agreed, but what he was thinking in his heart was that this was the first thing Mr. Nie asked him to do, and he was only allowed to succeed and not to fail.

Lu Qian was worried, and sent him straight to the door, still repeating the precautions just now over and over again, changing his usual teasing, and his words were full of sad seriousness.

Ning Caichen stood outside the door, bowed and saluted: "Mr. Nie is not feeling well today, and it is getting late, so let's go back first. Mr. Nie has already explained a lot, and I have written down one by one, Xiaosheng. Anything can go wrong.”

He is a scholar, and he has much more things in his mind than him. Lu Qian put something on his body to protect his life. As long as he does not die, no ghosts will approach him. Besides, he will definitely be the first in danger. Time ran back, logically speaking, Lu Qian shouldn't have to worry so much.

But after all, Ning Caichen is just an outsider to him. If outsiders do this kind of help, he will always worry about the other party's problems. No matter how small the problem is, it may be a big trouble for Ning Caichen. It got bigger and bigger.

Standing at the door, Lu Qian watched Ning Caichen's back disappear into the depths of the woods under the night, completely blending into the darkness, and then turned around and prepared to go back with a sigh.

"Oh mom, you scared me to death, why are you standing behind a ghost like a spirit behind your back." Lu Qian stroked his chest, pretending that there was still a small thumping heart.

When he and Ning Caichen explained the last precautions, Yan Chixia was standing by the door, and he followed behind them all the time, but obviously no one paid attention to her at all.

Yan Chixia just thought it was because the ghost didn't have time, so it seems that the two chatted too speculatively and didn't notice it.

With cold eyes, he turned and left.

Lu Qian: "..." He grabbed Yan Chixia's wrist, "Hey, what's the matter, what's the matter, I've been acting weird all day, and I'm angry again, tell me, why are you angry?"

Who is angry, who is angry with you? Yan Chixia lifted her eyelids and gave him a cold look, without moving her lips, she shook off his hand and walked away without any discussion.
