After the nemesis HE [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 67 Story 4
He was seriously discussing with Qin Chu, but Qin Chu didn't expect him to say such a thing.
So much so that Qin Chu laughed for the first time. Looking at the kid in front of him, who was only as tall as his waist, he really didn't expect this little guy to swear that he would protect him.
But Qin Chu still felt ironed in his heart.
What he received was to protect Qin Rui. He always did his best to do his own thing, and never thought of anything in return, but that didn't mean he wasn't moved.
If other people hear these words, no matter whether they take it to heart or not, most of them will just coax the children, say a word of expectation and thanks, that's all.
But Qin Chu was more serious. He put Qin Rui on the ground, compared his height with Qin Rui, and said honestly: "You are too short, if you want to protect me, you can. Eat more and grow up."
Qin Rui, who always knew that he was short: "..."
He will definitely grow taller, and he will definitely grow taller than Qin Chu in the future!
The two brothers didn't talk together for long, they both had their own things to do, Qin Chu had to go to the school to train soldiers, and no matter how short Qin Rui was, he had to go to the kitchen to help.
Until the evening when he was washing vegetables in the kitchen, Qin Rui was very happy because of what happened in the morning.
He was happy, his hands didn't feel cold after soaking in the cold water, and he even washed the vegetables much faster.
Because of yesterday's enemy attack, a chef in the kitchen was shot dead by the enemy. Now when they are free, a group of people are lamenting, and some can't help but talk about the tragic situation after the chef's death.
As we talked, we talked about other people who had an accident.
A cook lamented: "I didn't expect Dr. Su to suffer too. The murderers these days are really guilty. Now there are only one doctor left in the barracks. I can only look for it in the surrounding towns. I hope I can find it, or I can only report it." The imperial city."
"That's right, I didn't expect it. The spy from the enemy is also a thief, and even fled all the way to Dr. Su's tent."
Speaking of which, these two people thought of Qin Rui, and immediately looked at Qin Rui who was squatting by the pot to wash vegetables: "Xiao Rui, I heard that you lived with Dr. Su those two days, right? That's because you are lucky ..."
Qin Rui timidly raised his head to look at the speaker, and only gave a soft "hmm".
Another cook hurriedly pulled the speaker: "Look, what are you talking about with children? He is only so old, don't scare them!"
Qin Rui raised his head again and smiled sweetly at the two of them, before continuing to wash the vegetables.
The cold water took away the soil on the vegetable roots, Qin Rui looked at his fingers immersed in the water, as if he saw a bubbling redness being washed away by the water.
That's how he washed the blood off his hands in the icy river that day...
There was no confusion or fear in his eyes, Qin Rui didn't stop his movements, and continued to wash the thing very calmly.
When he said that he wanted to protect Qin Chu, he was not just talking.
Although he is short and small.But what does it matter, the more inconspicuous something is, the easier it is to do.
But suddenly, Qin Rui stopped washing the vegetables.
He thought that Qin Chu had been staying behind Dr. Su's tent these nights, so he said that Dr. Su beat him to cry at night, so Qin Chu was so sure that he was lying.
A small movement can't be heard through a layer of tents, but it can't be concealed if it's a little bigger.
At this time, Qin Rui couldn't help feeling a little scared, he didn't want Qin Chu to know about this kind of thing.
After the death of Doctor Su, Qin Chu was still frequently worried that he missed that person, if Qin Chu knew...
Qin Rui pinched off a vegetable leaf with his fingers.
He was also a little lucky, luckily Qin Chu hadn't come over when the enemy attacked that day, and luckily he was cautious enough not to act on the night he heard Dr. Su's words.
His elder brother liked him very much now...he didn't want Qin Chu to have any possibility of hating him.
After that enemy attack, the barracks was quiet for a while.
The soldiers lived a step-by-step life every day, but the atmosphere became a little bit tense. Everyone knew that the real war could not be dragged on, and it was time to desperately.
Qin Rui was very happy. He didn't care whether life was hard or not. Now that he could be by Qin Chu's side, no one would kill him every now and then. This kind of life was considered comfortable for him.
But in the comfort, he still encountered a little problem.
When he woke up in the morning, Qin Chu had already washed up.
He was about to go out, but saw that Qin Rui, who should have gotten up long ago, was still lying on the bed.
"I'm sorry, the kitchen is about to start work." Qin Chu walked over and patted the child through the quilt.
Qin Rui poked his head out from under the quilt, squinted his eyes and smiled at Qin Chu: "Brother is so cold today..." He rubbed his eyes as he spoke.
The temperature was indeed a little lower today, so Qin Chu just pretended that Qin Rui was on the lazy bed, gave him a few more instructions, and then opened the tent and went out.
After he left, Qin Rui slowly sat up from the quilt, his face pale.
He rolled up his sleeve and took a look. There were several deep bite marks on his arm.
All bitten by himself.
After Dr. Su died, he couldn't sleep again.
The first two days were fine, relying on the joy of being with Qin Chu, even if he didn't sleep at night, Qin Rui could keep up his energy during the day.
But after a long time, the withdrawal reaction of sleep surged, and Qin Rui began to feel restless and often had a dull headache.
He was afraid that Qin Chu would want to find someone who could make him fall asleep after he found out, so he had been carefully hiding it so that Qin Chu didn't find out.
But the sudden irritability these past few nights was really too hard to bear. He knew that Qin Chu was a light sleeper, so he restrained his movements all night while sleeping, not even daring to turn over.
When he couldn't bear it anymore, he bit his arm hard, using the pain to soothe his nerves.
Get up and roll up your bedding.
Before walking out of the tent, Qin Rui sat on the bedding and rubbed his head before preparing to rush to the kitchen.
Qin Chu couldn't let Qin Chu know about these things. If Qin Chu found out that he was hurting himself because he couldn't sleep, he would definitely feel bad.
He could bear this, but he didn't want Qin Chu to be unable to sleep at night because he was worried about him.
Feeling a little dizzy, Qin Rui felt that he could still hold on.
But he still overestimated his ability to bear. In the process of fetching water and washing vegetables, his eyes went dark, and he plunged into the icy cold water.
Shocked by the cold, Qin Rui straightened up quickly.
This was just a small episode, Qin Rui got half of his body wet, and continued to gather around the stove while working, trying to dry it with fire.But at the same time, he had to be careful not to get burned.
After a whole day in fear, Qin Rui took a careful look at his body before going back to make sure that nothing was still wet, and then returned to the tent with confidence.
It's a pity that a sneeze before going to bed at night still made him show his feet.
"Are you catching a cold?" Qin Chu looked at Qin Rui who had pulled back the blanket.
Qin Rui shook his head: "No, maybe someone scolded me."
Qin Chu glanced at him, turned around and left the tent.
After a while, Qin Rui heard the crackling sound of firewood being lit outside the tent. He poked his head out to take a look, and saw that Qin Chu had raised a fire and was heating hot water.
After a while, Qin Chu came in with a kettle and a wooden tub, and said to Qin Rui, "Come here and soak your feet."
Seeing the child standing there without moving, Qin Chu directly fished him over, rolled up his trousers and stuffed it into the tub.
Slightly scalding hot water flooded over, and soon the warm temperature spread along the soles of his feet to his whole body. The heat made Qin Rui shiver, and also dispelled the cold air he had endured for a whole day.
The wooden basin was not big, but it was quite tall, and Qin Rui was short, so he simply stood in the wooden basin.He looked at Qin Chu who was sitting on the side, held Qin Chu's hand and asked, "Brother, do you want to soak?"
"I'm not cold." Qin Chu refused, and then told him, "Don't rush around, the water will be cold."
Qin Rui knew that Qin Chu was afraid of wasting hot water, so he saw that Qin Chu didn't want to soak, so he warmed Qin Chu's hands with his hot body.He hugged Qin Chu's arm, feeling the warmth from head to toe, couldn't help but raised his head and said, "Brother, you are so kind to me."
So as long as he can stay with Qin Chu, he will not be afraid of any kind of suffering.
Qin Chu has always been not interested in children's greasy and crooked words, and would not respond at all.He just sat there and watched, making sure that Qin Rui stood in the basin honestly and didn't fall down. ,
After the tip of Qin Rui's nose was soaked to the point of sweat, Qin Chu picked him up and stuffed him under the quilt, and washed him casually with the remaining hot water.
After packing everything and returning to the tent, the oil lamp in the tent was already very weak, and the light was obviously dimmed.
Qin Chu took Qin Rui's coat aside and prepared to hang it up, but when he took the coat and walked to a place with a little more light, his brows suddenly frowned.
Taking advantage of the weak light from the oil lamp, Qin Chu picked up the coat and took a closer look.
The coat is sandwiched with a thin layer of cotton, the outer layer is darker and the inner color is lighter.It was fine when Qin Rui wore it before, but now the child turned over the sleeves of the clothes when he took them off casually, and under the oil lamp, he could see a faint watermark on the inner fabric.
Like the marks left by wet and dry clothes.
Thinking of Qin Rui's sneezing just now, Qin Chu turned his head to look at the sleeping child, and frowned.
He didn't ask Qin Rui. This kid might hide his thoughts from him. Qin Chu was going to ask in the kitchen tomorrow daytime, not to mention what trouble Qin Rui encountered.
After turning off the lights, the tent was plunged into darkness. Qin Chu rolled up the tent and went to sleep on the bedding.
Qin Rui felt that Qin Chu had fallen asleep, so he moved his body and nestled next to Qin Chu, and was careful not to make any other big moves.
He is used to controlling himself to maintain a posture at night, and today he soaked his feet in hot water, and his whole body feels warm and comfortable.At this time, normal people will feel drowsy.
Qin Rui also had it, but he couldn't sleep.
He thought of many ways, such as closing his eyes and forcing himself to sleep, such as counting, and even silently writing some words Qin Chu gave him in his mind, but none of them worked.
As time passed by in the darkness, Qin Rui noticed that Qin Chu's breathing became deep and slow, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But after learning that Qin Chu fell asleep and relaxed, the restlessness caused by extreme mental exhaustion hit him. He tried his best not to turn his body, but his body desperately wanted to do something terrible to calm the restlessness of the spirit. .
Qin Rui first clenched his teeth, which ached.Then he bit his tongue, and the smell of blood overflowed, not only did not calm the restlessness, but also made his nerves become extremely active.
In the end, Qin Rui couldn't help it anymore, lowered his head and bit his arm fiercely.
He felt that this state was terrible, he was not like a human being, he was as good as a crazy beast, irrational, and had no ability to control.
The image of sharp claws tearing through the cavity suddenly flashed before his eyes, Qin Rui trembled all over, and clenched his teeth even more tightly.
At this moment, a suspicious voice suddenly sounded in Qin Rui's ear: "What are you doing!"
Immediately afterwards, the cool breeze brought by the people around him lifted the quilt.
Too bad, it woke up Qin Chu.
Qin Rui wanted to let go, but he couldn't control his body at all. He struggled a bit, and even let out a beastly whimper from his throat.
The next moment Qin Rui felt himself being hugged, and his chin was pinched by a strong hand, forcing him to loosen his jaw.Blood oozed from Qin Rui's mouth, and Qin Rui almost bit Qin Chu's finger.
He tried hard to control himself, and his whole thin body trembled.
"Brother, brother, I... I didn't do it on purpose." Qin Rui looked up at Qin Chu's serious face, feeling a little flustered and scared, "Brother, I, I tried to fall asleep, don't abandon me."
Even though he knew in his heart that Qin Chu liked him very much, and knew that Qin Chu would not send him away if he promised, at this moment Qin Rui was still terribly afraid, his nerves collapsed into a string, and a single carelessness would break.
"It's okay, I don't want you."
Qin Chu quickly wrapped Qin Rui up with a quilt, and was about to go outside with the child in his arms.
Dr. Su is dead, but there is still a military doctor in the barracks, but it is a little far away.Qin Chu hugged Qin Rui and was going to find a doctor, but Qin Rui was very uncooperative, hugging his neck and shouting, "No, brother, I won't go, I won't go anywhere!"
He made a big fuss and wanted to lower his head to hurt himself if he disagreed with him. Qin Chu could only hug him and stay in the tent.
There was no other way, Qin Chu dragged Noah out at night: "Show him quickly, what's going on, is there any way to solve it?"
Noah finally slept for a while, seeing how anxious Qin Chu was, he could only forcefully adjust his state to check Qin Rui's data.
After reading it, he yawned: "What else can happen, lack of sleep, withdrawal reaction. He was able to sleep well before, but now he suddenly can't sleep, which is similar to the state of withdrawal after drug addiction."
Qin Chu pursed his lips.
Noah didn't need to say much, he could judge it based on Qin Rui's state.
Qin Chu has seen many similar reactions, most of which are the result of some illegal drug abuse.Qin Chu also had to use a special drug because of a serious injury, and he forcibly stopped the drug later, but he never touched anything that might be addictive since then.
But what did Qin Rui do wrong?All he needs is sleep, which is available to all.
Not only can he not enjoy this simplest need, but he will also have such a painful reaction afterwards...
Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Qin Chu was afraid that the child would bite his tongue, so he directly stuffed his wrist into Qin Rui's mouth.
He asked Noah: "Is there any way to solve it? He is too young to hold on like this."
"He needs to rest. If possible, give him a tranquilizer." Noah replied.
There is a fart condition, saying this is equivalent to not saying it.
Qin Chu couldn't help but aimed at Qin Rui's neck, and pressed his other hand directly towards the blood vessels in his neck.Qin Rui's tense body immediately fell limply, curled up in a small ball on Qin Chu's lap.
Slightly relieved, Qin Chu wiped his forehead and realized that he was sweating from such a trivial matter.
He was afraid that Qin Rui would catch a cold, so he quickly carried the child back and put him on the bedding.
When he got up straight, Qin Chu saw that his arm was still bitten in his mouth by Qin Rui. The child's mouth was tightly bitten, but his two arms were holding his wrist and pushing it out.
Pulling out his wrist, Qin Chu sighed as he looked at Qin Rui who was pinched unconscious by him.
Ever since Dr. Su passed away, Qin Chu has been observing Qin Rui's condition, but these few days Qin Rui has been able to run and jump during the day, so he puts his mind down a little.
Unexpectedly, this kid turned out to be pretending.
Qin Chu sat there watching Qin Rui for a while, and then asked Noah in his mind: "How is he now?"
"Very good, the mental fluctuations have stabilized. If you pinch this, it may last for a few hours." Noah replied.
But knocking people out like this is really not an option. Qin Chu made up his mind and asked Noah, "Is there a way to catch a game player?"
Noah was stunned: "You really want to use players as sleeping pills?"
Qin Chu: "...you can talk after you catch him."
It's a pity that Noah rejected Qin Chu: "It's not that this thing can't be done, but that it can't be done. When I found out that Dr. Su was a player, I also found out another thing. The border area you are in has been blocked. No more players will come in."
"And no player was willing to come to this place where the birds don't shit before, so..."
So once Dr. Su died, Qin Rui's illness really had no solution.
Qin Chu didn't speak again, frowned and thought for a while, and then lay down on the bedding.
The next day, Qin Rui didn't wake up until noon.
He stared in a daze and lifted the quilt, only to see Qin Chu lift up the tent and bend over and walk in.
"Are you awake?" Qin Chu brought in the lunch.
"Brother..." Qin Rui rubbed his eyes first, then suddenly thought of something, and immediately crawled out of the bed, "I still have to go to the kitchen!"
In fact, he had already woken up once in the morning, but Qin Chu wanted him to have a good rest, so he pinched him and passed out again.
Qin Chu didn't expect him to care so much about this job. Qin Rui is too young. If it weren't for the special circumstances, Qin Chu wouldn't let him go to the kitchen.
First stopped Qin Rui who was about to run out in a hurry, Qin Chu pointed to the lunch on the table and said, "Eat the food first, don't worry about the rest."
Qin Rui still remembered what happened last night, and now he was a little afraid that Qin Chu would get angry, so he didn't say anything, and went to eat obediently.
After Qin Rui finished eating, Qin Chu then asked him, "Are you still sleepy?"
Qin Rui shook his head quickly: "I'm not sleepy at all."
This appearance seemed to be afraid of saying something, and Qin Chu would push him to some doctor again.
Qin Chu glanced at him: "Tell the truth."
This glance seemed to see through Qin Rui, Qin Rui pinched his fingers, and said in a low voice, "I'm not sleepy now."
"I fell into the basin yesterday because I was sleepy?" Qin Chu asked again.
Qin Rui was very surprised, he didn't expect that he hid it so well, but Qin Chu still found out.He felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and was a little happy because of this rare concern, so he moved slowly towards Qin Chu before nodding.
Seeing his cautious appearance, Qin Chu couldn't help sighing.
He reached out and touched Qin Rui's hair, and said in a soft voice, "I told the kitchen that you won't pass today, and you don't need to go to help in the future."
Hearing this sentence, Qin Rui's reaction was obviously a bit big.
Before he could speak, Qin Chu pressed his shoulders and explained: "Listen to me, it's not because you didn't think you did a good job that they didn't let you go, but because you were too young. I wasn't going to let you go in the first place." In the past, it was just impossible at first.”
Besides, in Qin Rui's state, Qin Chu was really worried that he would go there again.The last time I just fell into the water basin, I don't know what it would be like if I plunged into the fire.
"Then... what am I doing?"
Qin Rui was obviously at a loss. He didn't care about his job, nor did he care about other people's opinions.What he cared about was Qin Chu, and he was afraid that if he did nothing, it would hinder Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stared at Qin Rui for a while, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Qin Rui was at a loss for words, but subconsciously grabbed Qin Chu's hand.
Qin Chu didn't have much experience in raising children, but now he finally noticed that something was wrong with Qin Rui's state.The child followed him, although he should laugh and make trouble, but he was always taken aback.
Just like last night, it was obviously so uncomfortable, but he still hesitated to apologize to himself.Qin Chu couldn't understand it. Although he was helpless when he was a child, he was born with a big heart and had never experienced similar feelings.
Beckoning to Qin Rui, Qin Chu looked at the child standing in front of him, and said seriously: "Follow me, you don't need to be afraid, I will protect you no matter what happens."
Qin Rui lowered his head and squeezed Qin Chu's fingers.
That's what he's most afraid of.
Qin Chu was so kind to him, he couldn't help but worry about what would happen if Qin Chu didn't want him, what would happen if Qin Chu disappeared, what would happen if Qin Chu found out about his past.
Just as he was hesitating, Qin Rui heard that Qin Chu seemed to know what he was thinking, and said to him, "I won't want you. If I said I wouldn't give you to someone else, I definitely wouldn't do it."
Qin Rui's eyes became hot, he bit his lip, and took two steps forward to hug Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stroked the back of his head: "In the future, you can follow me to the school grounds to learn something. I will teach you how to read at night when I have time, and you can also stay in the tent during the day and practice handwriting."
Qin Rui nodded, he also wanted to stay with Qin Chu.
But after thinking for a while, he still said, "If I don't feel uncomfortable when you go to work, brother, can you go to the kitchen to help?"
The kitchen is a place full of people and people, and it is also the place where the most news can be heard in the entire barracks, especially the news from the imperial city can always be heard in the conversations of several cooks.
Qin Rui didn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
Seeing his insistence, Qin Chu didn't say much, just said: "I can promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing. Don't hide your suffering from me in the future, understand?"
Qin Rui nodded quickly.
He got tired of Qin Chu's arms for a while, but he couldn't help thinking that he could tell Qin Chu if he was not feeling well, and he could tell Qin Chu if he couldn't sleep, although these would make Qin Chu feel distressed.
But there were some things that he would rather never let Qin Chu know.
Otherwise... Qin Chu would not like him.
Qin Rui had already discovered that although Qin Chu knew that he was the eldest prince, he knew nothing about the rumors about him in the palace.They didn't stay in the imperial city too long, and they came to the far border soon.
This made Qin Rui heave a sigh of relief.
When they first met, whether Qin Chu knew about those things, or what he would think if he knew, he didn't care at all.
But now, he hoped that Qin Chu would never know.
He is different from his brother.
After Qin Chu left, Qin Rui rolled up the bedding, sat on it and stared at the top of the tent in a daze.
Although Qin Chu was cold, Qin Rui knew that his elder brother was actually very gentle and a soldier who defended his family and country.Qin Chu is a good person, even treating a bad boy like him so kindly.
But what about himself?He is an out-and-out monster, born with mistakes that no one can tolerate.
Sometimes Qin Rui thinks that he shouldn't exist.
Many people in the palace thought so, including his blood relatives.
But now Qin Rui is very grateful. If he didn't exist, he wouldn't be able to meet such a good Qin Chu.
He will live a good life, hide the dirtiest side, and use it to deal with anyone who wants to harm Qin Chu.
Doctor Su was gone, and there were no other players around. Qin Chu's plan to catch a player as a sleeping pill was put on hold for the time being.
He was afraid that Qin Rui's withdrawal reaction would be too severe, so he pinched Qin Rui unconscious after a while to let him rest well.But fainting is obviously different from sleeping. Qin Chu was worried about any side effects, and asked Noah to monitor Qin Rui's physical condition every time.
However, the situation was beyond Qin Chu's expectations. Although Qin Rui looked thin and frail, apart from being unable to sleep, his physical functions could be considered strong.
Being fainted by Qin Chu's high frequency pinch, he was not affected badly.
At first, he was a little worried about Qin Rui's condition, but after a few days of observation, he found that he was slowly returning to normal, and Qin Chu gradually felt relieved.
Qin Rui is very satisfied with his recent life. He doesn't have to be troubled by insomnia, and he spends a lot of time with Qin Chu.
He trained with Qin Chu on the school field. Although his small arms and legs caused a lot of ridicule, he didn't care at all.Qin Rui has no doubts at all, when he grows up, these people will not be his opponents.
He will be strong enough to protect his brother.
Qin Rui extravagantly hoped that such a comfortable and beautiful life for him could continue forever, but his happiness was soon shattered.
He and Qin Chu were about to separate again.
The author has something to say:
Qin Ruitian is only for Qin Chu
Others... refer to the miserable end of the poor player
He was so crazy that even if he couldn't sleep for the rest of his life, he wanted to return to Qin Chu's side...
So much so that Qin Chu laughed for the first time. Looking at the kid in front of him, who was only as tall as his waist, he really didn't expect this little guy to swear that he would protect him.
But Qin Chu still felt ironed in his heart.
What he received was to protect Qin Rui. He always did his best to do his own thing, and never thought of anything in return, but that didn't mean he wasn't moved.
If other people hear these words, no matter whether they take it to heart or not, most of them will just coax the children, say a word of expectation and thanks, that's all.
But Qin Chu was more serious. He put Qin Rui on the ground, compared his height with Qin Rui, and said honestly: "You are too short, if you want to protect me, you can. Eat more and grow up."
Qin Rui, who always knew that he was short: "..."
He will definitely grow taller, and he will definitely grow taller than Qin Chu in the future!
The two brothers didn't talk together for long, they both had their own things to do, Qin Chu had to go to the school to train soldiers, and no matter how short Qin Rui was, he had to go to the kitchen to help.
Until the evening when he was washing vegetables in the kitchen, Qin Rui was very happy because of what happened in the morning.
He was happy, his hands didn't feel cold after soaking in the cold water, and he even washed the vegetables much faster.
Because of yesterday's enemy attack, a chef in the kitchen was shot dead by the enemy. Now when they are free, a group of people are lamenting, and some can't help but talk about the tragic situation after the chef's death.

A cook lamented: "I didn't expect Dr. Su to suffer too. The murderers these days are really guilty. Now there are only one doctor left in the barracks. I can only look for it in the surrounding towns. I hope I can find it, or I can only report it." The imperial city."
"That's right, I didn't expect it. The spy from the enemy is also a thief, and even fled all the way to Dr. Su's tent."
Speaking of which, these two people thought of Qin Rui, and immediately looked at Qin Rui who was squatting by the pot to wash vegetables: "Xiao Rui, I heard that you lived with Dr. Su those two days, right? That's because you are lucky ..."
Qin Rui timidly raised his head to look at the speaker, and only gave a soft "hmm".
Another cook hurriedly pulled the speaker: "Look, what are you talking about with children? He is only so old, don't scare them!"
Qin Rui raised his head again and smiled sweetly at the two of them, before continuing to wash the vegetables.
The cold water took away the soil on the vegetable roots, Qin Rui looked at his fingers immersed in the water, as if he saw a bubbling redness being washed away by the water.
That's how he washed the blood off his hands in the icy river that day...
There was no confusion or fear in his eyes, Qin Rui didn't stop his movements, and continued to wash the thing very calmly.

A small movement can't be heard through a layer of tents, but it can't be concealed if it's a little bigger.

His elder brother liked him very much now...he didn't want Qin Chu to have any possibility of hating him.
After that enemy attack, the barracks was quiet for a while.

But in the comfort, he still encountered a little problem.
When he woke up in the morning, Qin Chu had already washed up.
He was about to go out, but saw that Qin Rui, who should have gotten up long ago, was still lying on the bed.
"I'm sorry, the kitchen is about to start work." Qin Chu walked over and patted the child through the quilt.
Qin Rui poked his head out from under the quilt, squinted his eyes and smiled at Qin Chu: "Brother is so cold today..." He rubbed his eyes as he spoke.
The temperature was indeed a little lower today, so Qin Chu just pretended that Qin Rui was on the lazy bed, gave him a few more instructions, and then opened the tent and went out.
After he left, Qin Rui slowly sat up from the quilt, his face pale.
He rolled up his sleeve and took a look. There were several deep bite marks on his arm.
All bitten by himself.

Qin Chu couldn't let Qin Chu know about these things. If Qin Chu found out that he was hurting himself because he couldn't sleep, he would definitely feel bad.
He could bear this, but he didn't want Qin Chu to be unable to sleep at night because he was worried about him.
Feeling a little dizzy, Qin Rui felt that he could still hold on.
But he still overestimated his ability to bear. In the process of fetching water and washing vegetables, his eyes went dark, and he plunged into the icy cold water.
Shocked by the cold, Qin Rui straightened up quickly.
This was just a small episode, Qin Rui got half of his body wet, and continued to gather around the stove while working, trying to dry it with fire.But at the same time, he had to be careful not to get burned.
After a whole day in fear, Qin Rui took a careful look at his body before going back to make sure that nothing was still wet, and then returned to the tent with confidence.
It's a pity that a sneeze before going to bed at night still made him show his feet.
"Are you catching a cold?" Qin Chu looked at Qin Rui who had pulled back the blanket.
Qin Rui shook his head: "No, maybe someone scolded me."
Qin Chu glanced at him, turned around and left the tent.
After a while, Qin Rui heard the crackling sound of firewood being lit outside the tent. He poked his head out to take a look, and saw that Qin Chu had raised a fire and was heating hot water.
After a while, Qin Chu came in with a kettle and a wooden tub, and said to Qin Rui, "Come here and soak your feet."
Seeing the child standing there without moving, Qin Chu directly fished him over, rolled up his trousers and stuffed it into the tub.
Slightly scalding hot water flooded over, and soon the warm temperature spread along the soles of his feet to his whole body. The heat made Qin Rui shiver, and also dispelled the cold air he had endured for a whole day.
The wooden basin was not big, but it was quite tall, and Qin Rui was short, so he simply stood in the wooden basin.He looked at Qin Chu who was sitting on the side, held Qin Chu's hand and asked, "Brother, do you want to soak?"
"I'm not cold." Qin Chu refused, and then told him, "Don't rush around, the water will be cold."
Qin Rui knew that Qin Chu was afraid of wasting hot water, so he saw that Qin Chu didn't want to soak, so he warmed Qin Chu's hands with his hot body.He hugged Qin Chu's arm, feeling the warmth from head to toe, couldn't help but raised his head and said, "Brother, you are so kind to me."
So as long as he can stay with Qin Chu, he will not be afraid of any kind of suffering.
Qin Chu has always been not interested in children's greasy and crooked words, and would not respond at all.He just sat there and watched, making sure that Qin Rui stood in the basin honestly and didn't fall down. ,
After the tip of Qin Rui's nose was soaked to the point of sweat, Qin Chu picked him up and stuffed him under the quilt, and washed him casually with the remaining hot water.
After packing everything and returning to the tent, the oil lamp in the tent was already very weak, and the light was obviously dimmed.
Qin Chu took Qin Rui's coat aside and prepared to hang it up, but when he took the coat and walked to a place with a little more light, his brows suddenly frowned.
Taking advantage of the weak light from the oil lamp, Qin Chu picked up the coat and took a closer look.
The coat is sandwiched with a thin layer of cotton, the outer layer is darker and the inner color is lighter.It was fine when Qin Rui wore it before, but now the child turned over the sleeves of the clothes when he took them off casually, and under the oil lamp, he could see a faint watermark on the inner fabric.
Like the marks left by wet and dry clothes.
Thinking of Qin Rui's sneezing just now, Qin Chu turned his head to look at the sleeping child, and frowned.
He didn't ask Qin Rui. This kid might hide his thoughts from him. Qin Chu was going to ask in the kitchen tomorrow daytime, not to mention what trouble Qin Rui encountered.
After turning off the lights, the tent was plunged into darkness. Qin Chu rolled up the tent and went to sleep on the bedding.
Qin Rui felt that Qin Chu had fallen asleep, so he moved his body and nestled next to Qin Chu, and was careful not to make any other big moves.
He is used to controlling himself to maintain a posture at night, and today he soaked his feet in hot water, and his whole body feels warm and comfortable.At this time, normal people will feel drowsy.
Qin Rui also had it, but he couldn't sleep.
He thought of many ways, such as closing his eyes and forcing himself to sleep, such as counting, and even silently writing some words Qin Chu gave him in his mind, but none of them worked.
As time passed by in the darkness, Qin Rui noticed that Qin Chu's breathing became deep and slow, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But after learning that Qin Chu fell asleep and relaxed, the restlessness caused by extreme mental exhaustion hit him. He tried his best not to turn his body, but his body desperately wanted to do something terrible to calm the restlessness of the spirit. .
Qin Rui first clenched his teeth, which ached.Then he bit his tongue, and the smell of blood overflowed, not only did not calm the restlessness, but also made his nerves become extremely active.
In the end, Qin Rui couldn't help it anymore, lowered his head and bit his arm fiercely.
He felt that this state was terrible, he was not like a human being, he was as good as a crazy beast, irrational, and had no ability to control.
The image of sharp claws tearing through the cavity suddenly flashed before his eyes, Qin Rui trembled all over, and clenched his teeth even more tightly.
At this moment, a suspicious voice suddenly sounded in Qin Rui's ear: "What are you doing!"
Immediately afterwards, the cool breeze brought by the people around him lifted the quilt.
Too bad, it woke up Qin Chu.
Qin Rui wanted to let go, but he couldn't control his body at all. He struggled a bit, and even let out a beastly whimper from his throat.
The next moment Qin Rui felt himself being hugged, and his chin was pinched by a strong hand, forcing him to loosen his jaw.Blood oozed from Qin Rui's mouth, and Qin Rui almost bit Qin Chu's finger.
He tried hard to control himself, and his whole thin body trembled.
"Brother, brother, I... I didn't do it on purpose." Qin Rui looked up at Qin Chu's serious face, feeling a little flustered and scared, "Brother, I, I tried to fall asleep, don't abandon me."
Even though he knew in his heart that Qin Chu liked him very much, and knew that Qin Chu would not send him away if he promised, at this moment Qin Rui was still terribly afraid, his nerves collapsed into a string, and a single carelessness would break.
"It's okay, I don't want you."
Qin Chu quickly wrapped Qin Rui up with a quilt, and was about to go outside with the child in his arms.
Dr. Su is dead, but there is still a military doctor in the barracks, but it is a little far away.Qin Chu hugged Qin Rui and was going to find a doctor, but Qin Rui was very uncooperative, hugging his neck and shouting, "No, brother, I won't go, I won't go anywhere!"
He made a big fuss and wanted to lower his head to hurt himself if he disagreed with him. Qin Chu could only hug him and stay in the tent.
There was no other way, Qin Chu dragged Noah out at night: "Show him quickly, what's going on, is there any way to solve it?"
Noah finally slept for a while, seeing how anxious Qin Chu was, he could only forcefully adjust his state to check Qin Rui's data.
After reading it, he yawned: "What else can happen, lack of sleep, withdrawal reaction. He was able to sleep well before, but now he suddenly can't sleep, which is similar to the state of withdrawal after drug addiction."
Qin Chu pursed his lips.
Noah didn't need to say much, he could judge it based on Qin Rui's state.
Qin Chu has seen many similar reactions, most of which are the result of some illegal drug abuse.Qin Chu also had to use a special drug because of a serious injury, and he forcibly stopped the drug later, but he never touched anything that might be addictive since then.
But what did Qin Rui do wrong?All he needs is sleep, which is available to all.
Not only can he not enjoy this simplest need, but he will also have such a painful reaction afterwards...
Seeing that he was really uncomfortable, Qin Chu was afraid that the child would bite his tongue, so he directly stuffed his wrist into Qin Rui's mouth.
He asked Noah: "Is there any way to solve it? He is too young to hold on like this."
"He needs to rest. If possible, give him a tranquilizer." Noah replied.
There is a fart condition, saying this is equivalent to not saying it.
Qin Chu couldn't help but aimed at Qin Rui's neck, and pressed his other hand directly towards the blood vessels in his neck.Qin Rui's tense body immediately fell limply, curled up in a small ball on Qin Chu's lap.
Slightly relieved, Qin Chu wiped his forehead and realized that he was sweating from such a trivial matter.
He was afraid that Qin Rui would catch a cold, so he quickly carried the child back and put him on the bedding.
When he got up straight, Qin Chu saw that his arm was still bitten in his mouth by Qin Rui. The child's mouth was tightly bitten, but his two arms were holding his wrist and pushing it out.
Pulling out his wrist, Qin Chu sighed as he looked at Qin Rui who was pinched unconscious by him.
Ever since Dr. Su passed away, Qin Chu has been observing Qin Rui's condition, but these few days Qin Rui has been able to run and jump during the day, so he puts his mind down a little.
Unexpectedly, this kid turned out to be pretending.
Qin Chu sat there watching Qin Rui for a while, and then asked Noah in his mind: "How is he now?"
"Very good, the mental fluctuations have stabilized. If you pinch this, it may last for a few hours." Noah replied.
But knocking people out like this is really not an option. Qin Chu made up his mind and asked Noah, "Is there a way to catch a game player?"
Noah was stunned: "You really want to use players as sleeping pills?"
Qin Chu: "...you can talk after you catch him."
It's a pity that Noah rejected Qin Chu: "It's not that this thing can't be done, but that it can't be done. When I found out that Dr. Su was a player, I also found out another thing. The border area you are in has been blocked. No more players will come in."
"And no player was willing to come to this place where the birds don't shit before, so..."
So once Dr. Su died, Qin Rui's illness really had no solution.
Qin Chu didn't speak again, frowned and thought for a while, and then lay down on the bedding.
The next day, Qin Rui didn't wake up until noon.
He stared in a daze and lifted the quilt, only to see Qin Chu lift up the tent and bend over and walk in.
"Are you awake?" Qin Chu brought in the lunch.
"Brother..." Qin Rui rubbed his eyes first, then suddenly thought of something, and immediately crawled out of the bed, "I still have to go to the kitchen!"
In fact, he had already woken up once in the morning, but Qin Chu wanted him to have a good rest, so he pinched him and passed out again.
Qin Chu didn't expect him to care so much about this job. Qin Rui is too young. If it weren't for the special circumstances, Qin Chu wouldn't let him go to the kitchen.
First stopped Qin Rui who was about to run out in a hurry, Qin Chu pointed to the lunch on the table and said, "Eat the food first, don't worry about the rest."
Qin Rui still remembered what happened last night, and now he was a little afraid that Qin Chu would get angry, so he didn't say anything, and went to eat obediently.
After Qin Rui finished eating, Qin Chu then asked him, "Are you still sleepy?"
Qin Rui shook his head quickly: "I'm not sleepy at all."
This appearance seemed to be afraid of saying something, and Qin Chu would push him to some doctor again.
Qin Chu glanced at him: "Tell the truth."
This glance seemed to see through Qin Rui, Qin Rui pinched his fingers, and said in a low voice, "I'm not sleepy now."
"I fell into the basin yesterday because I was sleepy?" Qin Chu asked again.
Qin Rui was very surprised, he didn't expect that he hid it so well, but Qin Chu still found out.He felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and was a little happy because of this rare concern, so he moved slowly towards Qin Chu before nodding.
Seeing his cautious appearance, Qin Chu couldn't help sighing.
He reached out and touched Qin Rui's hair, and said in a soft voice, "I told the kitchen that you won't pass today, and you don't need to go to help in the future."
Hearing this sentence, Qin Rui's reaction was obviously a bit big.
Before he could speak, Qin Chu pressed his shoulders and explained: "Listen to me, it's not because you didn't think you did a good job that they didn't let you go, but because you were too young. I wasn't going to let you go in the first place." In the past, it was just impossible at first.”
Besides, in Qin Rui's state, Qin Chu was really worried that he would go there again.The last time I just fell into the water basin, I don't know what it would be like if I plunged into the fire.
"Then... what am I doing?"
Qin Rui was obviously at a loss. He didn't care about his job, nor did he care about other people's opinions.What he cared about was Qin Chu, and he was afraid that if he did nothing, it would hinder Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stared at Qin Rui for a while, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Qin Rui was at a loss for words, but subconsciously grabbed Qin Chu's hand.
Qin Chu didn't have much experience in raising children, but now he finally noticed that something was wrong with Qin Rui's state.The child followed him, although he should laugh and make trouble, but he was always taken aback.
Just like last night, it was obviously so uncomfortable, but he still hesitated to apologize to himself.Qin Chu couldn't understand it. Although he was helpless when he was a child, he was born with a big heart and had never experienced similar feelings.
Beckoning to Qin Rui, Qin Chu looked at the child standing in front of him, and said seriously: "Follow me, you don't need to be afraid, I will protect you no matter what happens."
Qin Rui lowered his head and squeezed Qin Chu's fingers.
That's what he's most afraid of.
Qin Chu was so kind to him, he couldn't help but worry about what would happen if Qin Chu didn't want him, what would happen if Qin Chu disappeared, what would happen if Qin Chu found out about his past.
Just as he was hesitating, Qin Rui heard that Qin Chu seemed to know what he was thinking, and said to him, "I won't want you. If I said I wouldn't give you to someone else, I definitely wouldn't do it."
Qin Rui's eyes became hot, he bit his lip, and took two steps forward to hug Qin Chu.
Qin Chu stroked the back of his head: "In the future, you can follow me to the school grounds to learn something. I will teach you how to read at night when I have time, and you can also stay in the tent during the day and practice handwriting."
Qin Rui nodded, he also wanted to stay with Qin Chu.
But after thinking for a while, he still said, "If I don't feel uncomfortable when you go to work, brother, can you go to the kitchen to help?"
The kitchen is a place full of people and people, and it is also the place where the most news can be heard in the entire barracks, especially the news from the imperial city can always be heard in the conversations of several cooks.
Qin Rui didn't want to let go of such an opportunity.
Seeing his insistence, Qin Chu didn't say much, just said: "I can promise you, but you also have to promise me one thing. Don't hide your suffering from me in the future, understand?"
Qin Rui nodded quickly.
He got tired of Qin Chu's arms for a while, but he couldn't help thinking that he could tell Qin Chu if he was not feeling well, and he could tell Qin Chu if he couldn't sleep, although these would make Qin Chu feel distressed.
But there were some things that he would rather never let Qin Chu know.
Otherwise... Qin Chu would not like him.
Qin Rui had already discovered that although Qin Chu knew that he was the eldest prince, he knew nothing about the rumors about him in the palace.They didn't stay in the imperial city too long, and they came to the far border soon.
This made Qin Rui heave a sigh of relief.
When they first met, whether Qin Chu knew about those things, or what he would think if he knew, he didn't care at all.
But now, he hoped that Qin Chu would never know.
He is different from his brother.
After Qin Chu left, Qin Rui rolled up the bedding, sat on it and stared at the top of the tent in a daze.
Although Qin Chu was cold, Qin Rui knew that his elder brother was actually very gentle and a soldier who defended his family and country.Qin Chu is a good person, even treating a bad boy like him so kindly.
But what about himself?He is an out-and-out monster, born with mistakes that no one can tolerate.
Sometimes Qin Rui thinks that he shouldn't exist.
Many people in the palace thought so, including his blood relatives.
But now Qin Rui is very grateful. If he didn't exist, he wouldn't be able to meet such a good Qin Chu.
He will live a good life, hide the dirtiest side, and use it to deal with anyone who wants to harm Qin Chu.
Doctor Su was gone, and there were no other players around. Qin Chu's plan to catch a player as a sleeping pill was put on hold for the time being.
He was afraid that Qin Rui's withdrawal reaction would be too severe, so he pinched Qin Rui unconscious after a while to let him rest well.But fainting is obviously different from sleeping. Qin Chu was worried about any side effects, and asked Noah to monitor Qin Rui's physical condition every time.
However, the situation was beyond Qin Chu's expectations. Although Qin Rui looked thin and frail, apart from being unable to sleep, his physical functions could be considered strong.
Being fainted by Qin Chu's high frequency pinch, he was not affected badly.
At first, he was a little worried about Qin Rui's condition, but after a few days of observation, he found that he was slowly returning to normal, and Qin Chu gradually felt relieved.
Qin Rui is very satisfied with his recent life. He doesn't have to be troubled by insomnia, and he spends a lot of time with Qin Chu.
He trained with Qin Chu on the school field. Although his small arms and legs caused a lot of ridicule, he didn't care at all.Qin Rui has no doubts at all, when he grows up, these people will not be his opponents.
He will be strong enough to protect his brother.
Qin Rui extravagantly hoped that such a comfortable and beautiful life for him could continue forever, but his happiness was soon shattered.
He and Qin Chu were about to separate again.
The author has something to say:
Qin Ruitian is only for Qin Chu
Others... refer to the miserable end of the poor player
He was so crazy that even if he couldn't sleep for the rest of his life, he wanted to return to Qin Chu's side...
