Quick Wear: Please, the host is really dedicated

This country was not yet called "Huan", there was no celestial wizard, and there was no monarch called Sheng Qiao.

Yu Ying felt that he had been deceived, but he knew clearly that Zhou Zhi had no reason to deceive him.

That must have been some kind of hint she was giving him, and he was too stupid to figure it out.

During the days when he was confined indoors, he practiced witchcraft while looking for a way out of the situation.

Until he knew a princess named Sheng Qiao.

He couldn't describe his feelings, he just knew that it was the emergence of hope.

Now that one condition has appeared, the rest just needs to be created.

...Just let him create it.

Waiting for Zhou Zhi to reappear is really a torturous process. The anticipation fills my heart, and the fear of loss also comes with it.

But fortunately, she finally reappeared.

Well, it’s time to lure the prey into the trap he has set.

He didn't care how much time and effort this game would take, as long as she was still by his side, as long as she was still by his side...

The hazy sky gradually revealed a rosy light from the palace gate, and the person he was waiting for finally appeared from there and came to his side.

"Yu Ying! I said! Don't move!"

The girl's annoying voice was in his ears. Yu Ying didn't dare to be distracted anymore. He sat on a bench and looked at his leaves falling. He could no longer care about anything else. He carefully asked Zhou Zhi, who was standing behind him as if facing an enemy: "Do I have to cut my leaves?"

Zhou Zhi stopped, and the huge pair of scissors borrowed from somewhere else in his hand also stopped.

"Of course!"

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Zhi nodded affirmatively.

Yu Ying pinched one of the vines that fell on the ground. Strangely, it didn't hurt at all.

But it's so ugly.

But again, he didn't dare say it.

Because it seemed that it was indeed because his vines were not well-behaved last night that led to today's tragedy.

Well, this is the disaster it deserves.

Yu Ying closed her eyes and ruthlessly let go of the vine, allowing Zhou Zhi to continue pruning it.

I don’t know if it’s because of winter, but Yu Ying is always afraid of the cold. He always likes to hide in Zhou Zhi’s arms to keep warm. Although he also likes to stick to Zhou Zhi all day long in other seasons, Zhou Zhi can feel that things are different in winter.

"Trees don't grow leaves or hair in winter, so they are naturally more afraid of the cold."

The dryad argued quietly.

But the tree demon doesn't like to roast fire. Ever since being frightened by Zhou Zhi, Yu Ying is even more afraid of fire. He is even afraid of being struck by lightning and catching fire when there is thunder in summer.

"As you know, trees are easily struck by lightning. Although I have never been struck by lightning, it hurts a lot just thinking about it."

At that time Zhou Zhi nodded. She had experience, so she affirmed: "That's true."

Therefore, Yu Ying had a legitimate reason to stay with Zhou Zhi.

But this winter seems to be particularly cold.

"But why is it so cold this winter?"

Zhou Zhi covered each of Yu Ying's little vines with a quilt, but Yu Ying was still shivering, and even Zhou Zhi felt pity for her.

Well, it really makes me feel sad.

Zhou Zhi touched his face and found it was as cold as a tree stump that had been left outside in the snow.

"Don't be afraid. Trees are always afraid of winter. Everything will be fine after winter passes."

But Yu Ying held Zhou Zhi's hand tightly, as if she was reluctant to let him go: "Would you please not leave? Would you please stay here with me?"

Zhou Zhi looked at the finger that had turned white and finally indulged him.

"Okay, I won't leave. I'll stay with you."

Yu Ying was still trembling, but after hiding in her arms, trembling didn't seem to be such a painful thing anymore.

“Will I never be able to wait until spring?”

The little tree demon looked through the frozen window and saw the heavy snow falling outside.

"Do not say silly things."

Zhou Zhi covered his mouth and stopped him from speaking any further.

Yu Ying's gaze was fixed on Zhou Zhi's face. He felt so cold, but his eyes seemed to be burning, so hot that he didn't have the strength to open his eyes to look at her.

He couldn't find a way to force back the tears, so he had to close his eyes tightly. However, he really didn't expect that the tears would be so full and flow out from the slits of his eyes, and he couldn't stop them.

"Zhizhi, I'm in so much pain, can you hug me?"

Zhou Zhi didn't know why this happened, so he tried his best to hold everyone in his arms.

"I'm not afraid, it's just too cold."

Zhou Zhi wanted to get up and close all the windows, but he still buried himself in her arms and refused to move at all.

"Can I go and close all the windows? Or can I ask them to burn some charcoal in and make sure it doesn't burn you?"

Zhou Zhi comforted him and wiped away the tears on his face, but the hot tears continued to flow down and turned cold in her palms.

Yu Ying shook her head: "It's no use, it's not because of the cold——"

He understood that it was not because of the cold.

It is his fruit.

It was the result of his insistence.

It was the result of the seeds he had sown over the years.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just too cold, let me go, I'll go call someone - someone -"

Seeing that Yu Ying still refused to let go, Zhou Zhi started to call for help, but Yu Ying's grip gradually tightened: "Don't let others disturb us, okay?"

"Yu Ying, be obedient. Being afraid of the cold is not an incurable disease."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Zhi was suddenly stunned, and she understood.

"—Is it your illness?"

Could it be that the disease that he just smiled at was actually such a hidden danger?

Yu Ying didn't say anything, but in this situation, wouldn't it be a tacit agreement if she didn't say anything? !

Zhou Zhi's eyes lost focus for a moment.

"I can't be cured, Zhizhi."

There was still a hint of clarity in Yu Ying's eyes.

"Although I am greedy, I also want to wait for spring with you, but fate never seems to favor me and is unwilling to give me more time. The only one who favors me is you——"

"Spring is coming, spring is coming, the snow is going to melt--" Her voice trembled a little, and she didn't know whether she was looking at Yu Ying who was smiling at her or at the snowy day outside.

No, no, spring is already here.

He wanted so much to say to her, but he could hardly make any sound because his throat was blocked.

"Can you... kiss me again? It's really cold..."

He spoke in a mess and Zhou Zhi couldn't understand him at all. In the end, it was not known whether it was sweat or tears that fell silently on Yu Ying's face.

The people outside rushed in, but the room was completely silent, without a sound or even a shadow of a person.

"My lord, what happened? My lord?"

There was no sound at all. Fearing that something had happened, the servants ventured into the inner room, but there was no one there except the Lord Zhou Zhi, whom they were familiar with.

Oh, and there is also a piece of dry branch held in an adult's arms, and the leaves on it are slowly falling down.

Lord Zhou Zhi seemed to be kissing the dry branch, with a little light in the corner of his eyes.

?

?

?

?

?

?

I lied to you.

When the tree demon saw someone coming in, he rolled and crawled to hide behind the bed.

After Zhou Zhi sent his servants away, the tree demon shivered and ran back to the bed. Its cold body froze Zhou Zhi so much that he pushed him away.

"Ah - why didn't you hug me? I really thought I was going to die just now, I was so sad -"

Zhou Zhi was speechless, but the depression in his heart was swept away.

"Who would have known that a tree demon would shed its old bark in winter."

Yu Ying was so embarrassed that her face turned red.

But when he saw Zhou Zhi's tears that had not been wiped clean, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart and couldn't help himself, so he tilted his neck and kissed them away.

"Zhizhi's tears are also bitter."

Zhou Zhi was silent for a while, touched the back of his head, and did not deny anything.

"Yes, I shed very bitter tears for you."

It would be a lie for Yu Ying to say he wasn't excited. Listening to Zhou Zhi's sweet words was much harder than changing tree bark. His lips slowly moved to Zhou Zhi's neck and then continued down.

Zhou Zhi dodged for a moment, but Yu Ying became even more aggressive and chased after him, wanting to kiss him.

"You just changed your skin, is that okay?"

Zhou Zhi's eyes were watery at the last moment, but he still didn't forget about it, so he just confirmed if there was any problem.

Yu Ying kissed her in a daze and made perfunctory "hmm" sounds to her until Zhou Zhi grabbed his hand that was about to untie his waist belt.

"Pay attention to——"

"I do not know--"

He drew out his voice, gnashing his teeth against Zhou Zhi. He felt uncomfortable and wanted Zhou Zhi to be unconscious with him.

With a "thump", the piece of dry bark on the bed rolled down. Yu Ying was distracted for a moment and was suppressed by Zhou Zhifan.

"Let me see first!"

What if it affects his health? !

Yu Ying suddenly woke up.

He did it openly and was not afraid of her seeing it.

"It's even cuter?"

Zhou Zhi commented.

Yu Ying became serious at this time and followed her logic.

"Maybe it's because of the new skin?"

Zhou Zhi blinked.

"Whatever!"

......

From that day on, winter seemed to be passing quickly. Snow water began to drip down, and the road became very muddy, making it easy to slip when walking. Yu Ying, who was always frustrated in winter, always complained to Zhou Zhi that the road was too slippery. But Zhou Zhi spoiled him to no end, and whatever he said was what he did. So when he said he wanted to walk in the snow more often, no matter how tired Zhou Zhi was, he let him go.

Although in the end, Zhou Zhi was probably so tired that he had to be carried by him.

The snow dripped onto the ground.

It won't be long before they will see the real spring together.
