Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Xu Bai's thoughts were in a mess.

He didn't know how long he had slept, he only knew that he felt weak all over, his body was both cold and hot, and someone was whispering in his ear.

He also saw those "illusions". At the beginning, he was unable to control what happened, just like Jiang Weizhou. But as time went by, he slowly began to feel that he had become the master of that body.

At first she would blush when she called him "husband", but later she got used to it. She secretly tasted Jiang Weizhou's medicine and found it so bitter that it made her gasp, so she went to ask the servant.

"This medicine...can you add sugar? It's so bitter!"

"No." The person on the other side smiled and said, "Master, the herbs are fixed. Adding anything else will affect the medicinal properties. The doctor said that this is the most appropriate prescription."

That's how miserable it will be.

Xu Bai pursed his lips. He felt sorry for Jiang Weizhou having to drink such bitter medicine every day, but he also longed for the close relationship with his cold and aloof master.

Although she is still cold, she will not use her status to oppress him, and one can even occasionally detect a hint of softness beneath the coldness.

If only...it could always be like this.

Actually, Xu Bai had never seen his parents, but the parents in this place treated him very well. Even if he was foolish enough to want to marry a man, his parents would ask Jiang Weizhou to stay after confirming his intentions.

Mother stroked his hair, asked him to lie on her lap, and whispered softly, "Mother just wants you to remember, don't let yourself be wronged. If he treats you badly, just tell me. It doesn't matter if you like men. Mother has better things to tell you."

That’s great.

Xu Baineng was able to lie in the same place with his favorite master, listening to his breathing beside him and carefully squeezing himself into his arms.

He would think, if only it could go on like this, if only he could stay here.

"..."

Qu Yao saw Xu Bai's lips move slightly and he uttered two words vaguely.

Ask, "What did A Yuan say?"

Xu Bai sighed softly, frowned slightly, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Husband."

This time Qu Yao heard it clearly.

He was very puzzled and guessed that Xu Bai saw something in the illusion or had a dream.

But her voice was so soft and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, making it difficult to tell whether it was joy or some other emotion.

After being unconscious for three or four days, Xu Bai finally regained some energy. He sat up and drank his porridge. Qu Yao brought medicine over and wanted to ask something, but didn't.

"Senior brother, thank you."

Xu Bai knew that Qu Yao was good to him, and he did have the intention of taking advantage of him, but human hearts are not made of stone, and he was deeply touched by what Qu Yao had done for him.

"Why should we thank each other?" Qu Yao reached out his hand and touched his forehead naturally. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the temperature was normal. "Ayuan, you can tell me anything."

Xu Bai looked at his face. The man had grown into a handsome and resolute man, and his eyes were gentle when he looked at him.

"I..." Her long hair spread out in front of her chest, "I didn't know where I was at that time."

Xu Bai wanted to say it. He wanted to share his brief happy experience with others - the only one who could listen to him say this was his senior brother.

Qu Yao looked at the blush rising on the pale and sickly face of the person in front of him.

"This is all fake." After hearing what Xu Bai said, Qu Yao's face turned blue and black. His heart was beating fast in his chest, and his fists were clenched tightly. He squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

"I know."

Xu Bai did not show any sadness, he just said softly, "Brother, I know it's fake."

Qu Yao understood what he meant.

Even if it was fake, he was very happy.

Qu Yao couldn't say anything, and he couldn't hold back his jealousy any longer, so he said, "Take the medicine."

Jiang Weizhou recited the Qingxin Jue over and over again, but he still could not completely immerse himself in Taoism like before.

He didn't know what he was thinking. Snowflakes were flying outside the house. Jiang Weizhou stood there for a long time, his eyes fixed on the fragile white snowflakes.

Jiang Weizhou had never visited Xu Bai. He knew that Xu Bai was sick again. He could see from the stone mirror that Qu Yao was supporting Xu Bai's body and feeding him medicine one spoonful at a time.

Qu Yao took good care of Xu Bai.

A strange and vague emotion enveloped this usually ruthless man. He stretched out his hand, watching the snowflakes fall on his hand, then melt into water drops and fall down.

Qu Yao stayed with Xu Bai. He didn't even go back to his place. The bed was not big. Xu Bai pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Brother, I'm fine now. You don't have to..."

"It's okay." Qu Yao waved his hand, "I'll stay with you."

——Yes, pester him, he can’t resist, you are just too timid.

Qu Yao ignored the voice. He sat on the bamboo stool and had no intention of leaving.

The wind was still cold. Although Xu Bai knew that Qu Yao was different from him and was not afraid of the cold at all, but... it was still inappropriate to ask him to sit there.

He lay there for a while, but still felt it was inappropriate, so he spoke in a stammering voice.

"Otherwise... Senior Brother, can you sleep on the couch?"

This is not appropriate either.

Qu Yao knew that his fellow apprentice was waiting for him to refuse and then leave "tactfully".

But this time Qu Yao was unwilling.

He was silent for a moment.

"it is good."

The rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other reached his ears, and Xu Bai knew that Qu Yao was approaching.

He started to get nervous, clutching the quilt tightly, blinking his eyelashes, and looked at Qu Yao.

Xu Bai really didn't expect Qu Yao to come up to him. He knew... knew that Qu Yao had feelings for him. But he never made a clear statement over the years, and just took care of him as a matter of course. And what about him? He was indeed enjoying this care.

"Does your head still hurt?"

Qu Yao didn't get close to her. Half of his body was on the edge of the bed, keeping a very "safe" distance.

Xu Bai shook his head, then came to his senses and replied softly, "It doesn't hurt."

Darkness can conceal many things. When the tone softened, it seemed like he was acting coquettishly. Qu Yao savored Xu Bai's tone. He still had a lot to say, but he felt that nothing was appropriate.

Xu Bai was a little worried. At first he could still force himself not to fall asleep, but his weak body made him drowsy and he fell asleep unconsciously.

Liu Er: [You can’t really——]

Xu Bai: [Shh.]

Of course Xu Bai didn't sleep. He curled up in a comfortable position, adjusting his breathing so as not to reveal any flaws.

Qu Yao kept half of his body lying on the edge of the couch for a long time, and only turned over carefully after he was sure that the person was asleep.

Qu Yao could see Xu Bai's face clearly without any effort. Her lips were slightly pouted and her eyelashes drooped quietly, and every part of her face touched his heart.

His arm slowly moved forward, first touching the soft cheek, then stretched out again, stroking Xu Bai's back with his palm, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
