After eating lunch, Xi Jingxing sat cross-legged on the futon by the wall to heal his injuries.

Chen Yuan sat on the bed.

He stepped on the edge of the bed with one leg bent and knees, leaning against the head of the bed and flipping through the classics that Wu Jiugui had lent him, and he had the right to be Xi Jingxing's protector.

Seven hours slipped by.

Until the night outside the window was dark, and the frosty moonlight poured into the bed, Xi Jingxing finally opened his eyes.

His face was still pale, but it was much better than before.

Xi Jingxing withdrew his gesture, raised his hand to cover his chest and got up.

Hearing the movement, Chen Yuan turned his gaze from the page to him, and then scanned his movements before asking, "How do you feel now?"

"The injury has been brought under control," Xi Jingxing paused, and continued, "It's nothing serious."

Perhaps it was really a miraculous effect after the double cultivation. When he exercised the kung fu just now, the blocked meridian became more unobstructed.But he has been healing for so long, and the external injury has indeed improved, but the internal injury has worsened instead.

A mass of dark blue light was attached to the dantian, and it took him four full hours to curb its spread. Now that he had exhausted his energy and needed to rest, he had no choice but to stop meditating.

This was a loophole that was taken advantage of when he blocked that trick for Chen Yuan before. He didn't tell the truth because he didn't want Chen Yuan to worry.

"No serious problem?" Chen Yuan got up and got out of bed. He walked up to Xi Jingxing and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."

Xi Jingxing revealed his pulse with his backhand, and when he lowered his eyes to detect his pulse, he tapped his shoulder again.

Chen Yuan glanced at him when he withdrew his hand, "Are you sure you don't need help from others for your injury?"

Xi Jingxing tried his best to stand still, and pursed his lips and chuckled lightly, "You are enough for me."

He mentioned double cultivation before, and also performed double cultivation. Now that he said that, Chen Yuan naturally thought of double cultivation, so he frowned slightly, "Do you want to do it again?"

Hearing this, Xi Jingxing's eyes were surprisingly bright, but he quickly looked away, "Not today," he knew that Chen Yuan didn't know much about cultivation, "I was injured, and dual cultivation can't be greedy, just once a day .This time, keep the account first, and you will return it to me tomorrow.”

Chen Yuan has never been keen on Shuangxiu, he followed the good advice, "Do as you please." Then he said, "What do you want to eat, I will inform the kitchen."

Xi Jingxing endured the itch in his throat, "Forget it, I don't have an appetite, you go eat first, I want to sleep for a while."

When he spoke, his mood fluctuated slightly, and his expression was covered up. Chen Yuan didn't notice his strangeness, "Then tell me when you wake up."

"it is good."

"By the way," Chen Yuan told him before turning around, "Your subordinates called in the afternoon and said that they had arrived in the capital. I asked Tang Boyan to arrange a hotel for them to stay first. I can't help you for the time being. They It should be possible, the hotel is nearby, and it only takes 15 minutes by car to get here, you can figure it out yourself."

For Chen Yuan's concern, no matter how big or small, Xi Jingxing was very useful. His hands behind his back were trembling with cold, but there was warmth in his heart, "I will."

Chen Yuan's heart moved slightly.

He looked at Xi Jingxing again, and only said: "Go to sleep, I will come back to accompany you after dinner."

"it is good."

Chen Yuan has turned around and walked towards the door.

The kitchen had already prepared the ingredients for dinner, and Chen Yuan put out the pot after he went downstairs. Not long after, the hot meal was put on the table.

Holding the rice, Chen Yuan looked at the empty seat opposite, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Normally, he had three meals a day, and he could see Xi Jingxing's face as long as he raised his head. Today he ate alone twice in a row, and the dining room seemed quieter than usual.

But the thought was only fleeting in his mind.

An hour and a half later, Chen Yuan put down his chopsticks and took a sip of warm water under the servant's distracted eyes.

Before the servant could react, he said, "Inform the driver that I'm going out tomorrow morning."

"Ah?" The servant was stunned, "Ah! Okay, okay!"

Chen Yuan left the dining room while she was in a daze.

When he went upstairs and returned to the bedroom, Xi Jingxing had already fallen asleep.

The sound of the door opening and closing twice did not wake people up, Chen Yuan walked to the bed after washing, only to see that even though he was in a deep sleep, there was a deep tired look between his brows.

Chen Yuan stood there and looked at him.

After a while, he walked around the end of the bed to the other side, lifted the quilt and lay down.

The sudden breath from beside him made Xi Jingxing's eyelids move a little. He seemed to want to wake up from a dream, but he didn't, but subconsciously turned over, and happened to be pillowed on Chen Yuan's forearm propped on the bed.

Chen Yuan looked down at his thin, bloodless lips, paused, and didn't push him away.

The extra person in his arms did not affect Chen Yuan's sleep.

After a night, he was woken up on time by his biological clock.

Xi Jingxing's breathing was still long.

It was rare for him to actually fall asleep before Chen Yuan woke up.

Considering that his injury was not healed, Chen Yuan slept for an extra half an hour.

But half an hour later, Xi Jingxing still showed no sign of waking up.

Chen Yuan pressed his backhand on the side of his face, and was about to push him away forcefully, when he felt a vague emotion gradually rise up in his heart.

Xi Jingxing still had his eyes closed and his breathing was not disturbed for a moment.

"Since you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep."

Chen Yuan's voice was even deeper when he was close by, mixed with the hoarseness of waking up in the morning, it was mellow and intoxicating.

Xi Jingxing didn't need to open his eyes to notice the posture of the two of them, his lips slowly raised an arc, "How do you know I'm awake, are you observing me?"

Chen Yuan only said two words, "marriage contract."

Xi Jingxing's smile stiffened slightly.

He opened his eyes and looked at Chen Yuan, pretending that the conversation just now didn't exist, and asked instead, "Are you going to the Spiritual Beast Association this morning?"

"Ah."

Xi Jingxing said, "I won't accompany you today."

"Alright," Chen Yuan didn't insist, "you stay here to recuperate."

Because half an hour had already been wasted, Chen Yuan didn't delay any longer, he pulled out his arm, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "If you don't want to get up, just go on sleeping."

Xi Jingxing watched him go into the bathroom to wash up, then frowned and covered his chest.

When Chen Yuan came out again, Xi Jingxing's expression was already normal.

"I really want to sleep for a while longer," he said, "It's not that you haven't mastered some areas of cultivation, so just sit a little longer at the Spiritual Beast Association today. Wu Jiugui values ​​you and will help you."

His proposal seemed blunt, but Chen Yuan didn't take it too seriously, "I'm not in a hurry."

Xi Jingxing said: "You don't have to think about me, I have everything at home, I don't want you to rush back to take care of me."

Chen Yuan changed his clothes, "Let's talk about it."

Xi Jingxing was well aware of the truth that too much is too late, seeing that his reaction was flat, he didn't say anything more.

Chen Yuan put his coat on his forearm, took the ball from the sofa, and gave him one last look, "Wait for me to come back."

These words made Xi Jingxing's clenched hands slowly loosen.

After seeing Chen Yuan's back before entering the door, he replied softly: "Okay..."

With a 'click', the door closed tightly.

Chen Yuan didn't look back, he went downstairs to have breakfast, got in the car that was waiting at the door, and set off to the Capital Zoo.

The driver apparently lost his memory of the accident that happened yesterday, and there was nothing abnormal along the way.

When he arrived at the place, Chen Yuan signaled him not to leave, and got out of the car with Yuanqiu and walked towards Wu Jiugui's office.

In the yard in front of the office, everyone was in a hurry, probably still busy with the matter of the missing spirit beast.

When Chen Yuan approached, Hu Ling, who was waiting for news at the door, saw him at a glance.

"Mr. Chen," she was a little puzzled, "Why are you here?"

Chen Yuan asked her: "Where is President Wu?"

Hu Ling walked in with him, "It's inside, what do you need from him?"

Wu Jiugui, who was sitting just behind the desk, had already heard the sound of the two talking. Seeing Chen Yuan, he was also a little surprised, "Why is Xiao Chen here?"

Both of them were there, and Chen Yuan directly explained the purpose of coming, "Yesterday, Xi Jingxing and I were plotted against by someone, and we got this magic weapon by accident."

He put the ball on the table.

"This is it!" Wu Jiugui stood up abruptly, "Xiao Chen, do you know the identity of the person who plotted against you?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.

He still remembered what Li Wenlin called the old man, "It should be one of the presidents of the Cultivator's Association."

Wu Jiugui and Hu Ling looked at each other, each seeing the same joy in the other's eyes.

Hu Ling even blurted out: "That's right, it's him!"

Chen Yuan said: "Xi Jingxing saw that there were living creatures hidden in this magic weapon, but he was injured and could not erase the imprint left by the original owner of the magic weapon, so I can't say for sure that the living things inside must be the ones you are looking for. related to spirit beasts."

"This magic weapon itself is extremely precious," Wu Jiugui held the ball on the table, "If you have the heart to send it here, no matter what the result is, the Spirit Beast Association owes you a big favor!"

"President Wu is polite, and the Spirit Beast Association has also helped me a lot." Chen Yuan didn't intend to spend too much time here, "Since the things are brought here, I can't help you with erasing the marks, so—"

He frowned suddenly.

Hu Ling asked: "Mr. Chen, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Yuan put his hand on his chest.

The pain that erupted in an instant just now is not like an illusion.

It went away too quickly, and it didn't seem like it was really his pain.

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered Xi Jingxing's abnormality before going out.

In his silence, Hu Ling and Wu Jiugui looked at each other again.

Wu Jiugui came out from behind the desk, "Xiao Chen, did you think of something?"

At this moment, Chen Yuan felt another sharp pain in his chest.

Chen Yuan looked at Wu Jiugui, "In addition to conveying the emotions of both parties, can the marriage contract also feel the pain of the other party?"

Seeing his solemn face, Wu Jiugui immediately replied: "If the injury is serious, it should be."

"Extremely injured," Chen Yuan asked again, "How heavy do you mean?"

Wu Jiugui was stunned for a moment, he was not sure about this, he hesitated and said: "When you are dying, you will definitely."

Chen Yuan's frown deepened, and before he could explain clearly, he turned around and walked out the door.

Wu Jiugui had already realized something, he stuffed the ball into Hu Ling's arms, "Go, crack this magic weapon." Then he took a quick step to follow Chen Yuan, "Xiao Chen, did something happen to Xiao Xi? go with you!"

He covered a lot, and Chen Yuan didn't refuse.

After the two got into the car, the driver slowly started the car.

Wu Jiugui looked at Chen Yuan, and comforted dryly: "Xiao Chen, don't worry too much, maybe things are not as bad as you think."

"Ah."

In fact, Chen Yuan didn't think too badly about the matter.

In his eyes, life and death are not too important things, but he also knows that people in the small world often take these things very seriously.

That's why Xi Jingxing would rather hide such a serious injury, just to make him feel at ease.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair.

How can there be such a ridiculously stupid person.
