The time in the south slows down after entering the rainy season.

The showers come quietly and go quickly, the ground is clear and wet.Outside, the branches are covered with rainwater.

The misty rain and fog lingered, lingering between the green valleys in the distance.This warm air also has an impact on the people who live there.

In Xia Tian's bedroom, for some unclear reasons, Kang Zhier's heart was also heavy.

Lan'er called from downstairs and told him that there was a new courier from the central part.

The old courier was still forgotten by him in the corner, and this new one still failed to attract his attention.

"Leave it for me first."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Zhier decided to go out for a walk.Walking around might clear away some of the fog in his heart.

Then, he slowly got up from the sofa chair.

The bedroom is paved with black and white checkered tiles, which, from certain angles, look like a giant chessboard.

Kang Zhier is not only an undecided person, but also a pawn that has not yet fallen.

When he walked out of the bedroom, Kang Zhier noticed a little noise, looked towards the end of the corridor, and found that Bandari had just left the study, turned around and walked towards the side stairs on the other side.

Kang Zhier stood there and thought for a while, then walked slowly towards the study.

He came outside the study and saw the door was open, Elvis was wearing the clothes at home, with his back to the door, looking out the window as if thinking about something.

Kang Zhier was going to leave quietly, but at this moment Elvis turned around and stopped him before he left.

"Xiao Zhi."

Kang Zhier stopped when he heard the sound, turned his body back, and met Elvis' eyes on his face.

So, he quietly turned his body around, and walked into the study under Elvis' gaze.

Elvis was standing by the window at this time, Kang Zhier walked up to him in a slightly silent manner, and leaned his body against the edge of the desk.

Elvis looked much better today than last night.Although the illness came and went like a mountain, his face still looked a little pale.

"Elvis, have you taken your medicine?" Kang Zhier asked him.

Elvis lowered his face, looked at him intently and replied, "I've eaten."

Kang Zhier got the answer, looked at him and nodded, then looked away silently.

Elvis stood in front of him for a while, raised his hand to hold his shoulder, and asked him with concern: "Xiaozhi, you don't look energetic, are you feeling unwell?"

Before Kang Zhier could answer, he heard Elvis ask him: "Did I catch the cold to you last night?"

Hearing Elvis mention what happened last night, Kang Zhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and denied with a downcast face: "No."

He didn't have the guts to recall his behavior last night, and answered Elvis in a loud voice: "I just didn't have a good rest."

Fortunately, Elvis did not continue this topic.He looked at Kang Zhier quietly for a while, and then said suddenly: "Xiao Zhi, I want to tell you something."

Hearing this, Kang Zhier raised his head curiously, looked at him and asked, "What?"

In the study room where many lights came in, the black pupils of Elvis were not as clear as before, and his face was almost pale.

He held Kang Zhier's shoulder, and said to Kang Zhier seriously: "Shall we go to Windsor to stay for a few days?"

Because of Elvis's sudden proposal, Kang Zhier opened his mouth slightly and questioned him.

"what?"

Windsor is a small town on the southern edge, a two-hour drive from Lake Gardens.Mr. Lake also has a private garden in Windsor, which is not as large as Lake Garden, but it has a good view.

When Kang Zhier was still very young, he had lived there with Elvis for a while.

Kang Zhier didn't know why Elvis proposed going to Windsor at this time, so he asked him, "Why do you want to go to Windsor all of a sudden?"

Hearing his question, Elvis looked away slightly as if lost in thought.Afterwards, he looked straight at Kang Zhier again, and answered him calmly: "I want to go out with you to relax."

"Relaxing?" Kang Zhier was still a little confused.

"Don't you dislike the rainy season?"

When he said this, Elvis had a slight smile on his face, but Kang Zhier couldn't feel the sunshine in his eyes.

"It's going to be raining here for a few days, but Windsor has nice weather."

"I happen to have a few days of vacation," Elvis looked at him with a more serious expression, "so I want to go there with you."

Kang Zhier recalled that Bandari had just left the study, raised his head and asked Elvis: "Will Bandari come with us too?"

"Just the two of us," Elvis told him.

"Only two people..."

Kang Zhier's lips moved, repeating what Elvis said, before lowering his head unconsciously.

He was unconsciously distracted, and in a trance, he felt a pair of big hands clearly moving down his arms slowly, holding his palms.

Kang Zhier slowly raised his head and looked at Elvis quietly.

Elvis looked at him quietly with his eyes, revealing a small but clear signal.

He held Kang Zhier's hands in his palms, and asked him with an inquiring expression: "Xiaozhi, will you go with me?"

Faced with Elvis' request, Kang Zhier's thinking became sluggish.There was a stagnant and diffuse congestion in his chest, and it was this discomfort that would relax his will that prevented him from being decisive.

When he was at a loss, Elvis grabbed his hands and pressed them to his cheeks. Without giving him too much time to think, he lowered his voice and asked him again: "Xiaozhi, okay?"

Kang Zhier raised his head, and nodded unconsciously as soon as he met his gaze.

He didn't realize it when he nodded, only realizing his decision when he saw Elvis' innocent, childlike eyes.

Kang Zhier's heart became a huge contradiction, he felt that he was having an unreliable dream from which he could not wake up.

Elvis took his hand, pulled him to the sofa chair and sat down, quietly buried his face on his shoulder as if he had found happiness.

This is a long-lost familiar scene.

When he was a child, Kang Zhier also sat on Elvis' lap like this, and was hugged restrainedly by him.

At that time, Kang Zhier didn't know that this meant happiness, but now he could clearly feel Elvis' emotions.

Kang Zhier raised his right hand, stroked Elvis' hair lightly, and asked him aloud, "When are we going to leave?"

Elvis raised his head, smiled, and replied, "Tomorrow morning, we'll leave after breakfast."

"So fast?" Kang Zhier looked at him and asked.

"Not fast," Elvis answered him unhurriedly with clear eyes and a contented face, "I want to leave right away."

Kang Zhier's soft elbows fell on Elvis' shoulders, his heart was weighed down by various thoughts, and he unconsciously lowered his eyelids again.

Then, he raised his eyelids, but caught Elvis approaching him.

He leaned back slightly and put his palms on Elvis' shoulders, sounding a little bewildered.

"Elvis..."

Elvis wrapped his strong arms around his waist, raised his face slightly, and his silent gaze made him temporarily lose his ability to speak.

"I took the medicine just now," Elvis answered him calmly and briefly, keeping his eyes fixed on him, stroking his arm with his fingers, "now it's reward time."

After finishing the words, Kang Zhier felt a gentle kiss on his cheek.

He couldn't help but feel a tremor, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

In the next second, another cloud-like kiss landed on the corner of his lips.

When Elvis bit his lips very slowly and softly, a thought actually flashed in Kang Zhier's mind—whether Elvis pretended to be sick on purpose to disrupt his defense mechanism.

This thought was fleeting, and Kang Zhier's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't even catch its disappearing tail.

In the end, in Elvis' "weak" and patient movements, Kang Zhier was disintegrated, his lips parted, his teeth loosened, and he fell into the reward he asked for.
