Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Okay." Ying Lei pinched his mouth and stopped talking.

Bai Jiu assured Nanzhi earnestly, "Don't worry, Sister Shen. You are just too weak in Qi and blood. As long as you slowly nourish yourself with Qi and blood-tonifying medicine, you will definitely get better."

Zhuo Yichen looked at Nanzhi, his ears red but he said seriously, "Other aspects are not important, your health is the first priority."

"As expected of Brother Zhuo, you are the one who cares about Sister Shen the most in the world!" Bai Jiu immediately assisted.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Little White Rabbit, I'm the first demon to express this."

Ying Lei put down his hand that was pinching his mouth and pointed at himself with a proud look on his face: "I am the second person to say such a thing."

Bai Jiu looked at Zhu Yan, then at Ying Lei, and pointed at them: "You are a monster, you are half god and half monster, neither of you are human."

Zhu Yan: “…”

Ying Lei: “…”

Ying Lei scratched his head and said, "You're right."

Then he thought, "I remember there's a piece of pig liver in the kitchen. Pig liver can replenish blood... Nanzhi, wait, I'll go fry it for you!"

"Don't sleep! I'm very fast!"

Yinglei ran out while shouting instructions to Nanzhi. After he said the last word, he disappeared.

Bai Jiu went to get a prescription and some medicine.

Soon, Yinglei brought up a plate of fried pork liver and a bowl of porridge.

The blond boy smiled widely and handed the chopsticks to Nanzhi: "Try it! It's still hot."

"Thank you, Yinglei." Nanzhi thanked Yinglei.

"No thanks, no thanks." Ying Lei was very embarrassed, but the smile on his face was very energetic: "If you think it tastes good, I will make it for you every day in the future."

Nanzhi took a bite of the thinly sliced stir-fried pork liver and immediately gave Yinglei a thumbs-up: "Delicious!"

Ying Lei, who was standing aside, was even happier, as if he had received the most precious praise in the world.

Late in the evening, everyone got up and saw Nanzhi eating with relish, so they had some midnight snack together.

After finishing her meal, Nanzhi waited for another half an hour and drank the medicine prescribed by Bai Jiu in one gulp. The bitterness of the medicine wrinkled her beautiful face.

Seeing that everyone was staying in their rooms, Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable. She tentatively asked, "Thank you for your hard work tonight. How about... everyone go back to your rooms and rest early?"

Bai Jiu nodded: "I have finished the medicine. I will go back to sleep. If I don't sleep well at my age, I won't grow taller."

"That's right!" Ying Lei agreed. "I'm going back to sleep too. I'll get up early tomorrow and make something delicious for Nanzhi."

Zhu Yan looked at Zhuo Yichen: "Master Xiao Zhuo, aren't you going back to your room?"

Zhuo Yichen looked back at Zhu Yan: "Let's go back together."

"I can't go back." Zhu Yan gave his reason: "Once Ah Zhi leaves my demonic power, her whole body will be cold. I have to stay here."

"You!" Zhuo Yichen frowned, obviously very angry at Zhu Yan's reason.

Then he realized that what Zhu Yan said was indeed the truth. Sitting on the stool, he said, "I'm here to watch you."

Ying Lei, who had just reached the door, immediately turned back and said firmly, "I want to watch you with Master Xiao Zhuo."

Wen Xiao smiled speechlessly and said softly, "I'm saying... have you forgotten about me and Sister Pei?"

Zhu Yan looked at Wen Xiao who was sitting next to Nan Zhi and asked curiously, "Could it be that Miss Wen Xiao is worried too and wants to stay and watch over us?"

"Aren't there too many people watching the big monster? Isn't everyone sleeping at night?" Unaware of the danger, Ying Lei glanced at the not-so-big room and figured out how to sleep on the floor so it wouldn't be so crowded.

Zhuo Yichen, who had already sensed the danger, looked at Wen Xiao and didn't dare to speak.

Pei Sijing, with her arms folded, raised her eyes, a hint of impatience flashing in her cold eyes as she said simply, "Get out."

Wen Xiao took the pillow in his hand as a weapon, and Nanzhi's expression changed.

Zhu Yan stood up: "Okay."

Zhuo Yichen also stood up.

Ying Lei was puzzled: "Get out? Us?"

"Oh my! Stop it! I'm leaving now... leaving now!"

"..."

boom!

The door slammed shut behind them, and the three people who were kicked out looked embarrassed in different ways.

Ying Lei rubbed his kicked butt: "Violence."

Zhu Yan gave Ying Lei a thumbs-up, and whispered, "I agree," so as not to startle the people in the room.

Ying Lei asked Zhuo Yichen curiously, "Master Xiao Zhuo, I saw that it was Nanzhi who chased you away. Were you hit? Does it hurt when Nanzhi hits you?"

Zhuo Yichen pursed his lips unnaturally: "I walked fast and didn't get hit."

In fact, his arm was a little numb after being hit by Nanzhi.

Just as the three of them were about to go back to their rooms, the door behind them opened.

The three of them turned around and saw Pei Sijing with a cold face.

Ying Lei, who had just been kicked out by Pei Sijing, was a little scared: "Miss Pei, what's the matter?"

Did they change their minds and think it would be better to use their magic power to warm Nanzhi's body?

It’s not that he has any other thoughts, he is just worried about Nanzhi and wants to be with her so that he will feel more at ease.

Pei Sijing handed Yinglei a doll and said, "Please help me take care of Ah Heng."

Ying Lei, whose fantasy was shattered, took Pei Siheng's doll.

The door of the room was slammed shut again without mercy.

Ying Lei looked at Zhu Yan and Zhuo Yichen: "This..."

"I don't know how to take care of men." Zhu Yan gave Ying Lei a polite smile and turned away decisively.

"I still have official business to take care of." Zhuo Yichen said this and walked towards his room.

After they both left, Ying Lei, who was holding the Pei Siheng doll, looked at the doll's lifeless face and said with a smile: "Then we will be together tonight. Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

"Let me find you a small quilt first."

……

Nanzhi, wearing pajamas, lay in the middle.

Beside him were Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao, and his nose was filled with the pleasant fragrance of the women.

Her face felt strangely hot.

The body is not cold at all, it is even warm.

Wen Xiao said, "People often say that a hot water bottle keeps you warm, but hot water bottles eventually cool down, but your body never does. With Sister Pei and I as your hot water bottles, you won't be afraid of the cold all night."

"Yeah." Nanzhi was deeply moved.

Pei Sijing felt very nervous when she slept with girls for the first time. She didn't like having much contact with people since she was a child, and this was her first time to be so intimate.

The back of her hand was against Nanzhi's, and she felt the coldness of Nanzhi's fingertips. She held her hand in her palm to warm her up.

Perhaps this is the life she has always wanted.

My brother is safe, I have friends, we are laughing and talking, and my heart feels warm from the bottom of my heart. I am no longer alone facing the thorny road ahead.
