treacherous world

After an awkward silence, Zhan Zhao said to Bai Yutang, "Otherwise, why don't you let go and try again?"

Bai Yutang let go of his hand a little, and Zhan Zhao heard that annoying sound again, and quickly reached out to grab Bai Yutang's hand, "If you stop it again, the sound will get louder and louder."

Bai Yutang had no choice but to cover him, not knowing what was going on.

"Or..." Bai Yutang said after a long time, "Let's lie down first, and then I'll cover you?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, and Bai Yutang let go of his hand. Zhan Zhao frowned and endured the noise, and lay down with him. Zhao couldn't see, so he wasn't embarrassed.

The extreme embarrassment of the two was mixed with extreme embarrassment. After lying down, Bai Yutang reached out and gently covered Zhan Zhao's ears.

"Will your hands be sore like this?" Zhan Zhao was quite thoughtful.

Bai Yutang shrugged, "Just treat it as a practice."

Zhan Zhao also fell asleep with a peaceful mind, but his ears were a little hot, and he thought to himself that for the first time he felt that it was good to be invisible.

Bai Yutang opened his eyes to look closely at Zhan Zhao's eyebrows, and tried to cover his ears with his hands, so he got very close, so he could clearly see every detail on Zhan Zhao's face, this cat is very handsome.

"Are you asleep?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"...Mmm." After a long time, Bai Yutang hummed, as if he had already fallen asleep, and Zhan Zhao fell asleep peacefully.

After a long time, Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "You didn't sleep at all!"

Bai Yutang froze for a moment, then smiled, "What nonsense, I'm asleep."

"Did you still blink when you were asleep?"

……

Asking Zhan Zhao to try it on, Bai Yutang was speechless, and he would not lie. Seeing that Zhan Zhao asked seriously, he could only say, "I can't sleep, there are too many strange things."

"Let me go and listen to see if there is still that voice."

"En." Bai Yutang let go of his hand, and Zhan Zhao covered it again, "There are more."

"What's the sound, is it going to ring all night?" Bai Yutang frowned, thinking that it must be Zhan Zhao's tinnitus?But that won't cover him up so he can't hear it.

"I don't know, it's so loud...By the way, do you think Gongsun Zhaopu and the others can hear it? How about we ask them?"

Bai Yutang was silent for a while, then said, "Forget it, go to sleep."

"Aren't you going to ask?"

"If they can hear too, then I have two hands."

……

Zhan Zhao thought about it for a while and wanted to laugh, then lay down again, tired from twisting his neck, "Shoulders are sore."

"Be patient, my arms are more sore." Bai Yutang said weakly.

"Would it be better to change the posture?" Zhan Zhao felt that if he stayed like this all night, Bai Yutang's hands would be stiff in the morning.

"How do you change it, your ears can't grow to one side.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Otherwise, I'll turn around...it's almost the same, then will you feel better if I lie on my stomach..."

"Oh, no!" Bai Yutang hurriedly stopped Zhan Zhao, who was about to lie on him, thinking that this is a crazy cat!

Zhan Zhao felt the same, "...how about you come up?"

Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, Zhan Zhao himself vetoed, "No, it's weird."

"Forget it, go to sleep, it will be dawn again if you continue to make trouble." Bai Yutang was a little weak, Zhan Zhao had exhausted him these days, but he always felt that something was missing, and he couldn't say what it was. Come.

"Or else?" Zhan Zhao stretched out his hands to help Bai Yutang cover his ears, so that his hands could support Bai Yutang's hands, which would save effort, but the distance between the two of them was almost nose to nose.

Zhan Zhao couldn't see it, so it didn't matter, Bai Yutang did a visual inspection, and if he didn't pay attention at such a small distance, he would be hit.

"Brother Bai."

When Bai Yutang was staring at Zhan Zhao's mouth in a daze, he heard Zhan Zhao call him suddenly, Bai Yutang was shocked and raised his head, "Huh?"

"Do you feel a little hot?"

"Hmm..." Bai Yutang nodded, "I'm wearing clothes and covered with a quilt, so it's not too hot to be so close."

"I should take off my clothes to sleep just now, why did I lie down? Let go first, I will take off my clothes."

"You..." Bai Yutang didn't know what to do at the moment. In fact, it's normal to take off your coat to sleep. Who would sleep with clothes on? It's just...

Zhan Zhao quickly got up and took off his coat, leaving a set of underwear, frowning, "Hurry up!"

Bai Yutang suddenly had the urge to hit the wall - Zhan Zhao told him to take off his clothes quickly!

In addition, Bai Yutang also complained a little, what on earth was he being awkward about, isn't this normal!

After thinking about it, he didn't care about that much anymore, quickly took off his coat and left his underwear, lay down under the quilt, reached out to cover Zhan Zhao's ears, Zhan Zhao also wanted to reach out, Bai Yutang said, "Go to sleep."

Zhan Zhao was slightly taken aback.

"Go to sleep." Bai Yutang said briefly, "Don't move."

Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed, asking Bai Yutang to hold on all night like this.

But at the same time, Zhan Zhao felt unjust for Bai Yutang in his heart. Why do people in Jiang Hu always say that Bai Yutang is not good?He was clearly very gentle and easy-going, but he didn't know that all the gentle and easy-going Bai Yutang in his life had been applied to him alone.

In the next room, as usual, Zhao Pu hugged Gongsun and wanted to move his hands and feet. Gongsun pinched his nose, "Don't move, sleep!"

"It's still early." Zhao Pu refused, Gongsun grumbled at Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang on the small bed beside him, and patted Zhao Pu on the shoulder, "Go to sleep, the child is here."

Zhao Pu was depressed, well, this time to create a chance for Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao to be alone, these two small oil bottles had to be dragged by themselves, isn't this shooting yourself in the foot!

That night, everyone fell asleep with their own concerns and various awkwardnesses.

In the middle of the night, Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang should be asleep, so he stretched out his hand to gently touch his ear, and touched the back of Bai Yutang's hand, feeling that his hand was very cold.

Zhan Zhao frowned, that's right, the night was as cold as water, and he covered his ears with one hand outside, so how could that work!Zhan Zhao wanted to break off his hands and stuff them under the quilt, and listen to him if he's done, and let Bai Yutang sleep peacefully when he's done.

But Bai Yutang firmly covered his ears with both hands, as if he had practiced his skills, pushing hard like this might wake him up.

Zhan Zhao was also afraid that he would be cold, so he wanted to pull the quilt up to cover his hands... It's just that it was quite inconvenient, and he couldn't even move.

In the end, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to hold his hand in his, and put his warm palm against Bai Yutang's cold back, so that he could keep warm.

This movement naturally woke Bai Yutang up. He wasn't afraid of the cold at first, but the warmth from Zhan Zhao's palm was still transmitted clearly.

Bai Yutang remained calm all this time, feeling the warmth of Zhan Zhao's palm seriously, and it probably wouldn't be a problem if he stayed until dawn.

……

Early next morning.

The fourth son felt someone lightly pat on his buttocks twice, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Gongsun lowering his head and asked him, "Little fourth son, can you still hear me? Little Liangzi's hands are probably going to be hard."

The fourth son was stunned for a moment, opened his eyes wide and saw Xiao Liang was asleep in front of his eyes, his hands were still beside his ears, almost motionless.Touch it again, it's cold, and the fourth son's heart aches so badly, he quickly helps Xiao Liang cover his hands.

Xiao Liang was also awakened by the movement, and hurriedly opened his eyes and asked, before he woke up, he asked, "Jin'er, can you still hear me?"

When the fourth son saw him sleepy, the first thing he thought of was himself. He felt that he was good or bad, and he didn't let Xiao Liangzi sleep well.

"Liangzi, loosen your arms and let the fourth son listen." Gongsun helped Xiao Liang pinch his arms.

It took Xiao Haohao a long time to let go of his hand, his arm was really stiff, and the hand that was under the head of Xiaosi was numb.

"No more!" Xiao Si shook his head, feeling refreshed, leaned over to help Xiao Liang pinch his shoulders and arms, "Little Liang, are you working hard?"

"No hard work!" Xiao Liang quickly shook his head, "Jin'er, it's okay, it's okay to sleep like this every night!"

The fourth son hugged Xiao Liang happily, "Little Liang is the best!"

Zhao Pu frowned and shook his head, how old is his apprentice, and he just looks like a 24-year-old filial husband, will he get it in the future? !Sighing, he brought tea to Gongsun, "Study, come, take a sip, it won't be hot anymore."

At the door, Ziying and Zheying sighed, the master and the apprentice will die.

"You two are back?" Zhao Pu asked when he saw the two came in with breakfast, "How's it going?"

"It's true that the whole embankment collapsed, but we asked some villagers ... they said that before the embankment collapsed, they heard a loud bang.

"Loud noise?" Zhao Pu and Gongsun looked at each other.

"Wait." Gongsun waved his hand, "Put it in the yard early, let's wake up Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang and study together."

"Let's go call!" The fourth son and Xiao Liang had already got out of bed after getting dressed, and rushed forward as they spoke.

The two children happily ran to the door of Zhan Zhao's room and knocked on the door, "Meow meow for nothing! Wake up!"

In the room, Bai Yutang woke up early, and Zhan Zhao slept soundly because he couldn't hear him.

Bai Yutang lowered his head to look at the situation, his hands became even stiffer—Zhan Zhao leaned on his shoulder, with one ear pressed against his collarbone, and he only covered his ear with one hand, Zhan Zhao's hand Holding the back of his hand.

Although Zhan Zhao was sound asleep, the loud knocking on the door by Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liang still woke him up.

"Hmm..." As soon as Zhan Zhao moved, Bai Yutang quickly pulled away and took his hand back. Before Zhan Zhao could figure out what was going on, Bai Yutang asked, "Is it better?"

When he came back to his senses, Zhan Zhao didn't remember anything else, so he listened carefully and shook his head, "No more."

"Oh...it's fine if you don't have one."

Bai Yutang looked at his hand, Zhan Zhao was still holding it, he didn't know if he was awake or not while sitting on the bed.

"Are you awake?" Bai Yutang asked him.

"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, while going back to Xiao Si and Xiao Liang outside, "Got it, come right away."

"Help me take off my clothes." Zhan Zhao said.

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment, Zhan Zhao's greatest hobby is to help others, but he almost never asks for help, even if his eyesight is not convenient, he is more used to looking for it by himself first.

"The clothes seem to be at the end of the bed, did they kick down the bed?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Uh...it's okay to hold the clothes." Bai Yutang gently moved his hand that was held by Zhan Zhao, "Why don't you let go first?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then he understood and let go.

Bai Yutang smiled, leaned over and took Zhan Zhao's clothes, turned them over for him, put on...

During the whole process, Zhan Zhao never said that he would do it himself, but let him wear it obediently, appearing very trusting.

Bai Yutang was puzzled in his heart, but he also really felt a little happy.

After getting up, he poured water for Zhan Zhao, twisted a wet handkerchief for him, and handed it to his hand. Zhan Zhao took it to wash his face, and when he returned it to him, he didn't say thank you as seriously as before, but just said, "By the way, Zi Ying and the others may be back, maybe there are clues."

"Yeah." Bai Yutang nodded, wiped his face himself, and La Zhanzhao came over to help him comb his hair. To be honest, Bai Yutang didn't care at all whether Zhe Ying and the others heard important news, he cared more about The air of resistance around Zhan Zhao disappeared, and the membrane that always separated him from others seemed to have opened up to him.

Bai Yutang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly - he opened his mouth to say he was helpful, but he didn't seriously thank him for the help... It meant that he was no longer an outsider, it should be like this.

After realizing this, Bai Yutang inexplicably thought of cats—when cats want to show affection to you, they are always very coy. After rubbing you and stepping on you, they will deliberately take two steps forward. Then look back at you, as if asking you to chase.

"Brother Bai."

Bai Yutang came back from his wild thoughts, looked up, and saw Zhan Zhao was two steps away from him, turned around and said to him, "Come on."
