Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Yun Zhui has been taking care of Li Xuan for many years, and this is the first time he sees him behave like a patient.

When Ye Zhen told him not to get out of bed, he wouldn't. When he took medicine, he wasn't allowed to leave any leftovers, so he didn't leave any leftovers. When she told him to go to bed early, he turned off the lights and went to bed obediently. When she told him to eat porridge with some side dishes, he never mentioned that he wanted to eat shredded chicken noodles.

After all, the yard was quieter than the inn and there were no outsiders, so Li Xuan became more and more bored.

Ye Zhen didn't allow him to get out of bed, so he lowered his eyes and asked innocently, "What should I do if I need to relieve myself?"

Ye Zhen paused while serving the tea and slightly avoided his gaze, "Except for this one."

He asked again, "What about bathing?"

Ye Zhen didn't indulge him. "It's raining every day, and you still want to take a bath? If you get a fever again, you'll have to take medicine."

Li Xuan replied obediently, "Then I won't wash it. Don't be angry."

The rain was much lighter in the next two days. It would mostly rain for a while in the morning and then clear up at noon. When you hung out the quilt to dry, it would suddenly start raining again, always catching Liuxia off guard.

A few days later, Li Xu recovered a lot and his face looked rosy, so Ye Zhen allowed him to go for a walk outside when the weather was fine.

There was a pond in the yard, and the lotus flowers were half open. Li Xuan crushed the leftover steamed buns and threw them into the water to feed the fish, and when the fish came over, he caught them.

As a result, because of the cold water, Yun Zhui complained to him. Ye Zhen was so angry that she asked Rong Fei to go out and buy fish food and a fishing rod, and punished him to fish for the whole afternoon.

That night, Ye Zhen had just let her hair down when she heard Li Xuan knocking on the door.

Liuxia saw that he was only wearing a shirt and looked nervous, "What happened?"

Li Xuan'an looked past her and looked directly at Ye Zhen, "The fish tank is too small, there are too many fish, and they are fighting."

Liuxia almost laughed out loud.

Ye Zhen remained calm, "Liuxia, go put the fish back into the pond."

"Yes."

Liuxia did not forget to close the door when she went out.

Li Xuan sat on the couch, looking at Ye Zhen blatantly. The bedroom lamp was not bright enough, but it made Ye Zhen look gentle and affectionate, with eyes full of love.

She saw that Li Xuan was sitting steadily, and in her heart she still couldn't forgive him for catching the fish with his bare hands. She had been watching over him with fear for the past few days, and finally his fever subsided, but he didn't know how to take care of himself at all.

So he said calmly, "Liuxia has already taken the fish out, Second Master, go back to sleep."

Li Xuan refused to move.

Ye Zhen said helplessly, "What else is wrong?"

"They made a lot of noise, and the water splashed out. My bed and pillow were all wet."

After saying this, he complained, "Actually, a little water is nothing. It will dry out after sleeping for a while. But you didn't allow me to touch the cold again. I was afraid you would be angry."

He was playing tricks and pretending to be innocent, and he really didn't have any dignity as a national teacher.

Ye Zhen really liked his childish look, so her voice softened. "Then let's stay in the guest room for one night."

Li Xuan was more reasonable, "We are only staying for a few days, and the guest room has not been cleaned up at all. It's so late, and it's not good to let Liuxia and Yunzhui work until midnight."

Ye Zhen looked at him steadily, "What does Second Master want?"

Li Xuan didn't beat around the bush and patted the soft couch beneath him, "I'll stay here for the night."

Ye Zhen's ears turned red, and she hid her face in the dark, and replied weakly, "No."

Because she didn't have much momentum, it emboldened Li Xuan, who was also nervous. He couldn't see her expression clearly, and his hands were tightly grasping the edge of the couch, his palms were sweaty.

His Adam's apple moved twice, "Is it not okay for me to just sit still?"

This sounds pathetic.

Ye Zhen pressed one hand against her chest, thinking that this was against the rules. But then she thought, what rules should there be between her and Li Xuan'an?

But···

While she was hesitating, Li Xuan looked at her eagerly again, "Can you really bear to let me go back and sleep on a cold mattress for a night?"

Ye Zhen didn't say anything, but her breathing was a little heavy.

Li Xuan stared closely at the figure in the dark, his whole body tensed. If he used a little more force with his hands, the edge of the couch would have been pulled off.

Not long after, Ye Zhen stood up. Li Xuan'an's breathing tightened and he followed her to the door. He thought, it's over. He was going to open the door himself and chase her away.

He immediately loosened his grip, leaving undried fingerprints on the edge of the couch, and he felt like a deflated ball.

"Okay, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was startled because what he heard was not the sound of the door opening, but the sound of the bolt falling.

This was even more surprising to him than her nodding in agreement.

It was clearly his bad intentions as he insisted on staying overnight. Now that Ye Zhen had locked the door, he was the one who was feeling uneasy and nervous.

There was a round table between the two of them. Ye Zhen deliberately walked around that side and brought over a quilt.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and was about to answer when she said, "The couch is hard, spread a quilt before sleeping."

Li Xuan took the quilt, accurately found her hand from the pile of soft cotton and grabbed it. His heart felt like a plate of candied fruit, so sweet that he didn't know what to do.

I wanted to say thank you, but when I opened my mouth I said, "What do you want me to build?"

After saying this, he shrank back and said, "What if it rains again tonight..."

Ye Zhen's voice sounded a little tense, "There is also a quilt."

Although there was a blanket between them, she could still feel Li Xuan getting closer. "Then what are you covering yourself with?"

"I'll ask Liuxia to bring another bed."

"The one in my room is wet and can't be used. They only have one bed each. If you want one, they will definitely move theirs to you."

Li Xuan swore that he had never been so shameless in his life.

In the darkness, the two looked into each other's eyes. Ye Zhen's eyes were very bright, but Li Xuan's were brighter than hers, so bright that she dared not look at them for any longer.

"Then... I'll give it to you. I..."

Li Xuan held her hand tighter, "When you are sick, I am the one who suffers."

Ye Zhen was actually very clear-headed, and she swore that she had really tried hard to control the situation!

But this person is determined to...

She was too lazy to argue. This feeling was like being roasted on a fire. She couldn't die but couldn't leave. So she simply asked him, "Then what do you say, Second Master?"

Li Xuan opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Afraid of offending her by saying it.

But the fact is, he only thought of the word "offense" when he was pushed to this point, and he was so angry that he laughed at himself.

Ye Zhen waited for him quietly, and all the torment was given to Li Xuan. Even if he was good at calculating, he couldn't handle the current situation.

It was not a good idea for the two of them to remain in a stalemate like this, so Li Xuan mustered up his courage and stared at her unscrupulously in the darkness, as if this would not expose his possessiveness.

But the fact is, he was scared.

That's right, he lowered his head first, "One quilt is enough, spread half and sleep on the other half."

After saying this, he looked like a flower that had not been watered, neither wilted nor energetic.

Ye Zhen was also surprised, but she was relieved. If he really asked her to sleep in the same bed, she didn't know how to respond. But for some reason, she still felt a little disappointed.

"Then, why don't you let go?"

Li Xuan let her go reluctantly and watched her turn back to the bedside, and even untied the curtains so that even her figure could not be seen.

He buried his face in the quilt, thinking, how could he be so shameless? He was sure that when he returned to Beijing, he would get the emperor to grant him marriage, marry him in a formal ceremony, and have a wedding night. Wouldn't that be good?

Why do I have to come up with this idea?

But on the other hand, Ye Zhen took care of him day and night, and he wanted to marry her immediately without wasting a single day!

That’s right, returning to Beijing has its own things to do. He is afraid that…

He was unwilling to accept this, so he came here shamelessly to force others today.
