Hai time.

The mansion was brightly lit, and Wei Xi went in without changing his expression.

Behind the door, the thin Xu Ningzhi nestled on a low stool, staring at her with his face slightly raised.

Wei Xi took off his cloak and wrapped it around her.

"Why don't you wait in the room?" Wei Xi said softly.

Xu Ningzhi tugged on her sleeves, her always charming phoenix eyes were full of fragility and anxiety at the moment, "I want to see you sooner."

"Stupid." Wei Xi bowed, wrapped her arms around her waist with one hand, and hooked her legs with the other, "It's so cold here, what if I catch a cold."

Putting his arms around her neck, Xu Ningzhi whispered, "If you catch a cold, won't you leave me?"

Wei Xi didn't say a word, his steps were as steady as before.

Pushing aside her hair with his fingertips, Xu Ningzhi approached her and kissed her on the face, his eyes sparkling.

I remember in the past, when Wei Xi was ten years old, he was a head shorter than her, still a tiny little one, always coquettishly asking her to hug her, sometimes Wei Xi muttered that she was not as strong as Shen Rongnian when she couldn't hold her.

Eight years later, the little one grew up, and Xu Ningzhi did the same thing as she did back then... Thinking about it, Xu Ningzhi kissed her again.

"Drool is all over my face." Wei Xi disliked it.

Xu Ningzhi shook his foot, "You can rub me too."

"It's late at night, don't provoke me." Wei Xi pushed her down, glanced at the white cloth on her right wrist that was slightly bleeding, "Really, don't move around."

Xu Ningzhi raised his face and touched the corner of her lips again.

The road from the mansion gate to the main room was extremely long, Wei Xi carefully watched her wrists, and had to accept her surprise attacks from time to time, which was extremely difficult.

After finally returning to the room, Xu Ningzhi wanted to take a bath again, so he sat cross-legged on the couch and stretched out his arms to ask Wei Xi to carry her.

Wei Xi fell headlong to her side, "I'm so tired."

"You're tired after only walking so far." Xu Ningzhi kicked her unhappily, "I want to take a bath."

Wei Xi sat up, "Then I'll call someone."

"No, I want you to wash it for me." Xu Ningzhi blinked at her, his eyes rolling.

Wei Xi stared at her for three breaths.

"Well, I was wrong." Xu Ningzhi lowered his head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Then can you wipe my body? It's really hard."

Wei Xi suddenly smiled, "Wash, I'll wash for you."

Xu Ningzhi peeked at her in disbelief.

Wei Xi did what he said, and immediately ordered his servants to boil water.

"If you don't want to..."

Wei Xi smiled brightly, "Why don't you want to, why don't you want to wash your daughter-in-law, isn't it the right thing to do."

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Xu Ningzhi lowered his eyes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the bathtub was brought in.

Wei Xi stretched out his hand to untie her clothes, but Xu Ningzhi flinched a little, "How about...you can wash it."

"Are you shy? It's not like I haven't read it before." Wei Xi said lightly, pulling off her belt easily, "Hey, I'm just helping you take a bath."

Xu Ningzhi met her indifferent gaze, and his eyes were sore.

"What's the matter?" Wei Xi paused slightly, and glanced at her tearful eyes, "Your hand hurt like that, I'm not a beast."

Xu Ningzhi held back his tears, "It's okay."

Wei Xi didn't bother to talk to her anymore, so he stripped her clean and threw her into the bathtub without any trouble.

With his right arm stretched out, Xu Ningzhi hooked his head.

Wei Xi moved a high stool and sat on her left side, soaked the soft towel in the water, and gently scrubbed Xu Ningzhi.

Tilting his head back, Xu Ningzhi half-closed his eyes.

Wei Xi frowned, folded the soft towel a few times, put it on the back of her neck, and then scrubbed with water.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of splashing water could be heard from time to time.

Wei Xi pursed his lips tightly, and deliberately bypassed certain places with his fingertips. Xu Ningzhi opened his eyes dissatisfied, "You are really a gentleman."

Wei Xi stroked the water expressionlessly, Xu Ningzhi turned his head to look at her, "What's the matter, I promised but I didn't wash it well."

Averting his eyes, Wei Xi exhaled slightly, and pressed his fingertips against her heart.

"I've always felt stuffy." Xu Ningzhi put his left hand on the back of hers, "I mean it."

Wei Xi hummed, "The imperial doctor said that you have stagnated energy."

"Depression is mostly due to the accumulation of lung qi, and the stagnation of lung qi accumulates in the heart." Wei Xi pressed her chest solemnly and scrubbed it with water, "This is what the imperial doctor said, so don't always be so narrow-minded, and you can take care of yourself." Don't hold back all the time, just let it out when you are angry."

Xu Ningzhi raised his face, "Who can vent my anger on me with the stuff crawling out of the belly of a lowly housemaid?"

Gently rubbing her fingertips along the sides, Wei Xi watched the water drops slowly slipping down, "Look, you are just venting your anger on me right now."

"How dare I." Xu Ningzhi raised his hand and patted her on the head, angrily said, "Who is our Seventh Highness, he is the favorite of the entire capital, how dare I vent my anger on you."

Wei Xi chuckled, "I'm quite angry with you."

"Anyway, I don't know." Xu Ningzhi rubbed her head, his head was tilted back, his thin neck was fair and slender, "I don't remember."

Wei Xi slid her fingertips down and brushed her slender waist, "Well, I don't remember either, whatever you say is what you say."

"Not at all." Xu Ningzhi touched her earlobe with his left hand, it was a little hot, "Your ears are red."

Wei Xi pulled her hand away, "No."

"Anyway, I don't know, I can't see."

Xu Ningzhi continued to pat her head, with a teasing tone, "Wei Xiaoxi, do you still remember that you used to be a little apprentice?"

"I'm not, I don't." Wei Xi sullenly refused to admit it, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll gag you."

Xu Ningzhi smiled, "The little villain is sneaking at something before he can reach the hairpin... Chun Gong Tu, I caught him right away, and you still say you are not?"

"That's you dreaming." Wei Xi snorted angrily.

Xu Ningzhi sighed, "I won't admit it when I grow up, and you even wrote me a letter of repentance, do you want me to read it for you?"

"Have I told you yet!" Wei Xi blushed.

Xu Ning looked regretful, "You should really see, your handwriting is really ugly."

"Of course, it's beautifully written now."

Xu Ningzhi rubbed her head again with a smile, "I don't blame you, you were young at that time, and it's understandable that you like to watch messy things."

"It's not a mess." Wei Xi muttered with her head lowered. She found it on purpose, and it was a very precious copy.

Hmph, Xu Ning has no knowledge at all.

"That can't change your...playful nature." Xu Ningzhi has a good ear, and he could hear her mumbling clearly, "However, I will keep it for you. If you still want it, I can return it to you."

Wei Xi tilted his head, "You still keep it?"

She thought Xu Ning had set it on fire a long time ago.

"I keep all your things."
