Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

When Wei Qiqi woke up, she felt hot and uncomfortable, and she couldn't even get her hands out of the quilt.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but it was still light outside.

She felt uncomfortable with the suffocation and finally freed her hands from the quilt after struggling, but was grabbed by the wrist.

The cold fingers pressed against her vitals, causing her to shiver.

Looking in the direction of her hand, Li Yuan half opened his eyes, grabbed her hand and stuffed it into the quilt.

"Xiaobao?"

Wei Qiqi spoke, but her voice was very hoarse.

Hearing the voice, Li Yuan, who had half-opened his eyes, suddenly opened them and looked at Wei Qiqi with clear eyes.

"Qiniang, are you awake?"

As he spoke, he stood up. After half-lying on the edge of the bed for the whole night, his bones were stiff and his muscles were sore, which made Li Yuan's expression change rarely.

"Guarding here all night?" Wei Qiqi asked softly.

"I'm glad you're awake." Li Yuan said, then leaned over to touch Wei Qiqi's forehead and found that the temperature was different from before and had dropped a little.

Only then did he feel relieved and withdrew his hand.

"when?"

"Already..." Li Yuan stood up and looked at the hourglass in the room.

"It's just the hour of Mao." He took a bowl of medicine from the bedside table and placed it on the brazier lid.

As it heated, the bitter smell filled the room.

Disliking the smell, Wei Qiqi couldn't help but wrinkle her nose and buried herself in the quilt.

Li Yuan, who had been paying attention to Wei Qiqi's movements, couldn't help but smile.

"Xiaobao." She spoke suddenly, and because her mouth was covered by the quilt, her voice was muffled.

"Nice to have you."

It’s great to have Li Yuan accompany her in this world.

She is never stingy with her praise for someone, and Li Yuan has received countless compliments over the years.

Only this praise made Li Yuan stunned.

"Me too."

Both of them felt relieved by each other's words, and Wei Qiqi's discomfort was also reduced a little.

"Don't you have classes in the morning? Don't go today. Take a day off and have a good rest."

Looking at the green color in Li Yuan's eyes, Wei Qiqi couldn't help but speak.

She was reluctant to let Li Yuan take leave from class, but this special situation must of course be treated specially.

Li Yuan understood what she meant, nodded and stood up.

Seeing that Wei Qiqi was in much better condition, he gave the heated medicine to Wei Qiqi.

She wanted to get away with it, but when she saw the medicine being brought to her and met Li Yuan's quiet gaze, she had no choice but to take it and drink it all in one gulp.

Li Yuan took back the bowl only after seeing Qiniang had finished drinking.

After Li Yuan left, Wei Qiqi lay on the bed bored. Slowly he felt his strength was regaining and decided to go eat something.

She hadn't eaten since yesterday morning, and then she was sick until this morning.

After not eating for such a long time, she suspected that she would recover well if she had something to fill her stomach.

It’s a pity that the time now is only a little after five. It’s just getting light outside, but not yet fully bright. I don’t know if the people in the kitchen are up yet.

As I was thinking about it, the door opened.

She turned her head and Li Yuan came in with a tray.

The boy's figure seemed to be longer, and the hem of his clothes was higher, revealing his boots and pants underneath.

Wei Qiqi planned to order a few sets of clothes for Li Yuan when she got better.

None of this fits at all.

"Here is some porridge and some side dishes. You can have some." Li Yuan placed a small table next to Wei Qiqi's bed, and then took out the things on the tray and placed them on it one by one.

Wei Qiqi sat up. She didn't expect that Li Yuan had thought of all these. She couldn't help but look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan noticed her gaze and turned his head to look at her, wondering what she was looking at.

"Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

Wei Qiqi licked his slick lips and said, "I'm curious. You have such a smart mind. If you have a new wife in the future, I'm afraid she won't be wronged."

Li Yuan paused as he put down his chopsticks and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing him being so surprised, I couldn't help but ask, "You haven't thought about this, have you? Although you are still young, you won't be young in a few years. Don't you pay attention to it?"

The marriage age in this era is generally young. No matter what, Wei Qiqi would not let him think about getting married before he reaches adulthood, but he could not resist the influence of the environment.

I originally thought that Li Yuan was smart in this area and understood some things, and might have feelings for a certain girl, but I never expected that Li Yuan knew nothing.

Li Yuan's face turned red as she spoke one after another.

Wei Qiqi suddenly became alert. In her guess, Li Yuan should be the male protagonist or the villain. Logically speaking, such a character would not be so innocent.

"Isn't it?"

Li Yuan couldn't stand the teasing anymore, so he put his chopsticks on the bowl and walked out staggeringly.

Seeing how awkwardly he walked, Wei Qiqi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha……"

How come Xiaobao is so funny?

It seems that the child has been concentrating on reading sage books these years and has no time to think about love affairs.

After laughing, I slowly reflected on myself.

It’s too early to laugh.

Don't look back, Xiaobao will not feel any resistance.

Thinking about this, he started to eat the food that Li Yuan had brought.

The porridge is warm and tastes just right when paired with side dishes. It is refreshing and not greasy.

Wei Qiqi was very hungry and ate everything Li Yuan brought.

After eating and drinking, she felt tired and got up to put everything on the table.

She originally wanted to take the things out, as leaving them in the house made her feel uncomfortable. However, as soon as she opened the door a little, the wind coming through the gap made her feel cold, so she slammed the door shut.

Just put the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

I felt very uncomfortable all over, so I wet a towel and put it on the brazier to warm it for a while, then wiped my face, hands, and the sticky back and chest.

Afterwards I was so tired that I didn't have any strength left.

Just lie down on the bed and go back to sleep.

When she woke up, a day had passed and it was almost dark.

It was still snowing outside, with heavy snow flying all over the sky, and the snow in the small yard was above the ankles.

Wei Qiqi looked at the hourglass to calculate the time, and it was a quarter past the afternoon.

Around half past five.

She stood up and stretched her stiff body. She had to admit that she felt much better after sweating all day and night in bed.

My mind is clear and my body is strong. It seems that I am fully recovered.

By this time, it was almost time for Xiaobao to come back.

Just as I thought of this, I heard the sound of a door being pushed open coming from the yard outside.

Wei Qiqi leaned over to take a look and saw that it was Xiaobao whom she had just thought of. He bolted the door, then turned around and walked in.

He stepped into the yard, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

Wei Qiqi couldn't help but feel cold for him. Even though he was wearing boots, his feet were still cold.

Li Yuan seemed to sense the gaze and raised his eyes to meet Wei Qiqi's.

There was a crack in the window, and Wei Qiqi's slightly sick face appeared through the crack.

That face, which was a little too beautiful, was pale and looked at himself.

Li Yuan was unable to move for a moment.

He always knew that Qiniang was pretty.

But I never dared to look at her closely. If I did, I would be shocked by her appearance.
