In the distance, a blue figure caught his attention. The peacock looked in another direction, only covered with petal-like gauze, and his long black hair was tied into a medium length. With a hair ornament made of stained glass, she looks like an innocent girl.

It took some time before He Jiqian sneaked around behind the peacock, he could hardly hold back the smile in his heart, his heart was beating so fast that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Why don't you go inside, it's cold."

He Jiqian spoke softly, afraid of breaking his calm, the movement of putting his shoulders on his shoulders stopped in mid-air.

"I'm not cold."

The peacock was obviously still frightened, lowered his wide eyes, he said nonchalantly, while shaking his clothes to loosen the wind knot.

"Don't be brave, if you are afraid of the cold, you will be afraid of the cold."

He shook his head with a smile, and directly grabbed the peacock's arm. He was amazed by the high temperature coming from his palm, and his smile suddenly turned into worry. He quickly touched the peacock up and down, as if checking whether he had an extra hand or feet.

"You have a fever."

"It's not a fever if you're not sick."

The peacock, who was in a particularly bad mood, was very rude. He stood up and walked away, but turned his foot.

"Have you seen a doctor? I'll go get it, don't worry about the money."

Seeing him resisting so much, He Jiqian only caught it for a while and then let go, looking worriedly at him whose eyes were red and swollen.

"Just say it's not a disease, and it's useless to ask a doctor."

"You can't keep burning?"

"Often things, you can't die."

It's a little drowsy, but the peacock's head is clear, it's not as serious as the high fever reaction.

"Don't say that word."

Panicked, He Jiqian said seriously.

"You still taboo about that? If it was useful, I would have gone to the coffin."

He might have heard more death than his own name in this life, he didn't care about it, the more he was said, the more he wanted to live well, and he was mad at those people.

"Where's the calla lily?"

He Jiqian is not superstitious, so he naturally knows how to say that there will be no loss of meat, but he instinctively hates peacocks and mentions it, as if it is not a big deal, which makes people inexplicably irritable and angry.

"She has her place, I shouldn't limit her."

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to the doctor, at least don't blow the hair."

Dressed like this, there must have been guests, but they were ruined by the heavy rain. No wonder he was in a bad mood, and the calla lily was not there.

"It's so comfortable."

"Wait any guests?"

"Ghosts and lunatics come to such a bad day."

Rain is the second most hated weather for peacocks. When it rains lightly, the guests are particularly smelly, and there is always the smell of rotting fish, and when it is bigger, the building is annoyingly quiet.

"I'm not human?"

"A gift?"

Peacock glanced at him and sat down where he was. He Jiqian found that he hadn't used incense today, and there was almost an inaudible residual fragrance floating around his body, as well as a bit of medicinal smell.

"She's been in a bad mood recently, not yet."

"That's a good chance, silly."

The courtyard is not small, but after all, it is not as big as the eyes can see. The sight is blocked by the wall, and the falling petals can't attract the peacock's attention, so they can only rest on his clothes.

"She doesn't like smart people anyway."

"Come on, who likes fools."

"Stupid people are lucky to be stupid. Uncle is not as lucky as me to enjoy flowers with you."

"How is the master?"

Last week was the end of the deadline, and the master did not show up as promised at that time. This was in line with Peacock's wishes, but it also made him more worried.

"It's been a week since I left, and I sent a letter saying everything is fine."

He didn't like Peacock forcing himself to care about his uncle, and his nervous appearance made him feel unspeakably unhappy.

"That's good."

Maybe I figured it out myself.Peacock convinced himself so much, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart.

"doing what?"

"To keep warm."

He stubbornly hugged the peacock and said that he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said or did.

"I said it's not cold."

"But I'm cold."

Forget it.Peacock immediately thought of this sentence, but he didn't say it out of his mouth.

"The flowers are enough, you can go in, I can serve you."

"What are you talking about?"

Knowing that he was deliberately joking about himself, Peacock blushed, as he said, did he lose his vitality.

"I mean pour you some tea."

"Fuck you...just feed me a drink."

Although the rain was heavy, the sun still worked hard and did not slack off. It lit up the verandah, and also tanned the hair of the two of them. The shadows were already sticking together on the ground. He couldn't tell He Jiqian.

"Okay, what's the problem with that?"

The long sleeves flutter in the wind, like clouds and waves, elusive, the fabric is thin and light, it will melt and crumble just by holding it, and even if you are not interested, you will be bound by this clothes. He Jiqian really admires the invention people in this kind of clothes.

"Honestly, doesn't that feel good?"

"Not at all!"

"What doesn't suit you?"

How can this be admitted, the angry peacock defended, but fell silent after He Jiqian's questioning, his lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something.

"Let's talk, it's very comfortable, isn't it?"

"It hurts."

It took a while for the peacock to speak in a low voice.

"Come on, why does it hurt?"

In fact, I didn’t do anything. Compared with the peacock guests, they must be much gentler. It may be uncomfortable, but the pain is really exaggerated.

"Where did it hurt, is it better now?"

Realizing that the peacock was really offended, He Jiqian hurriedly asked, feeling that he didn't understand the matter so well, maybe the peacock was too young?Maybe it has something to do with the unknown burning, how stupid he was, he didn't make sure that the peacock was fine before leaving, so it was different from those beasts that came here for desire.

"Maybe it's just a stomachache."

"Even if it's just a stomachache, it needs to be cured. What's not fresh? There's a plague spreading outside the city recently."

It has become so serious that people are not allowed to leave the city, but food is not prohibited. Although the chance is small, it is not impossible.

"It should be caused by medicine, nothing."

"What medicine?"

"It's just a medicine for body maintenance. I accidentally ate something that the doctor told me not to eat. Some medicines are incompatible with each other."

"Give me the medicine."

That's right, it's not a peacock's style to shrink back. No matter what, it's normal to tell people to shut up. He Jiqian can see through some hidden things in him.

"I just finished taking the medicine, and I was going to get it again, but it was raining heavily."

"Then there is always a medicine list?"

"At the doctor's place."

Peacock is not an idiot, and he knows that he has been seen through long ago, but he still insists on lying, and his face, which is only lightly pink, becomes very pale.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll find a sea potato and take it."

"What does this have to do with you? It's okay to be sweet with your lover. Why do you always find me for fun?"

His chest was clenched into a ball, the more He Jiqian treated him, the sadder he became, the more he knew that they belonged to different worlds, he would die if he was treated like this!The peacock screamed with red eyes, and the fear of breaking with him crawled all over his back, he didn't really want to say these things.

"What's the matter with you recently?"

If it was just bored, the emotional ups and downs would be too great, and He Jiqian felt that he should not ignore it if he thought that he was the one who made him sick.

"I don't have time to accompany you."

"Wait, I have something for you."

"I have no reason to take your things."

With a sudden pull, a strong arm restrained him. Peacock looked at He Jiqian with no expectation or impatience in his eyes, only deep hostility.

"Anyway, it's for you. Now it's yours. You don't have to throw it away if you don't like it."

"You can go."

I wanted to take the opportunity to reject the invitation from last time, but I just threw this thing away, it's better to forget it, and I can't meet him again.The peacock snatched the paper package, but was too condescending to meet He Jiqian's eyes.

"Forgive me, the streets outside are full of mud, at least wait until the rain stops."

"up to you."

He blamed him, there was no reason for him to run away first, the peacock didn't leave, and continued to drink tea, as if He Jiqian didn't exist.

"Aren't you going to tear it down?"

"bother."

"Take a look."

Clothes, are there clothes inside?Peacock was surprised that he meant it.

"I still……"

"It's not a joke."

He Jiqian, who seemed to know what he was thinking, continued.

"I want to say that I haven't agreed yet."

"Anyway, I'll give it to you, wear it quickly and have a look."

Regardless of Peacock's troubled expression, he snapped open the paper bag and took out a piece of clothing on it.

"How can I change clothes here."

"What does it matter if they are all men?"

He Jiqian didn't give up, and directly grabbed the flowing sleeves, fearing that the peacock would only dodge if the clothes were torn, and if he didn't pay attention to the shawl, it would fall into He Jiqian's hands.

"Don't run."

The verandah moved forward all the way, and it was so long that it couldn't see the end. He Jiqian didn't go after Peacock because of his leg injury, but he had a premonition that if he was let go, he would never see him again.

"Then don't chase after me!"

Hiding in the house, you can use complicated corners to get rid of him, but if you run into someone, you will lose face, and He Jiqian is not afraid of causing trouble and losing face, but with a few clothes, why do you do this.

"Hey!"

The peacock who was being chased wanted to escape, and regardless of the wet clothes and dirty clothes, he jumped down the corridor, dragged his feet in the mud and continued to run, he didn't expect him to do this, He Jiqian was stunned for a moment, until his figure was getting farther and farther away Only then dropped the paper bag and chased after him and said, "I don't force you, you still have a fever, don't get caught in the rain."

But the sound of the rain was really too loud, drowning the sound, He Jiqian had no choice but to chase with all his strength, which forced the peacock to speed up.

"Wow!"

The heavy rain caused the pool water in the yard to rise a lot. The tortoise, which usually only basks in the sun on the rocks, took the opportunity to take a stroll. When it heard the commotion, it quickly shrank its body, which was enough to protect its size. The water surface was getting closer and closer, before he had time to think about it, the icy water surrounded his body.

Before his feet touched the bottom of the pool, He Jiqian grabbed the peacock by his armpit like a duck, dragged the peacock out of the pool, and put it on the porch.

The rain made the gauze clothes transparent, glancing at his slightly raised chest, a trace of darkness flashed across He Jiqian's face, and he silently draped the clothes in the paper bag on the peacock's shoulders.

"This...is newly made."

Whether he wants it or not, Peacock doesn't want to dirty He Jiqian's heart, he can ask people to throw it away, but he can't do it himself, such real concern makes him uncomfortable.

"It's not a high-end product. It's okay to wash it and make a few more."

His body was really cold, and he grabbed his rough clothes tightly. Peacock didn't say a word, but his heart was clamoring.

"What a big turtle."

"It seems to be 50 years old. Calla Lily calls him Master Turtle."

The relaxed topic really made Peacock heave a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile too.

"sounds good."

He Jiqian smiled happily and said that he was in a good mood.

It turns out that good things happen in rainy days. Although he is in such a mess and his clothes are dirty and torn, Peacock is not unhappy at all.
