They say it's sick

As the night deepened, the heat of the day still persisted, and opening all the doors and windows didn't help much.

Li Yan lay on his back on the bed, with rounded eyes, staring at the top of the bed without blinking.

Gao Liang's residence was deep in the Suwei Mansion, and at this time, the surroundings were extremely quiet, not even a cicada chirping, and all he could hear was Yun Zhi's shallow breathing.

The room is not big, and the bed is naturally not that spacious. Fortunately, although the two teenagers are both tall and long-legged, they are still thin, so they won't stick together in this weather, leaving an arm-width gap between them. , but it is enough to feel the other party's body temperature.

In Li Yan's memory, he has never had the experience of sleeping on the same bed with others.

When he first followed Li Gui to the village, he was not very sensible, and cried all day long to find his mother. Li Gui thought he was troublesome, so he insisted on adding a broken wooden bed to the already small room.

For many nights after that, Li Yan, who was still young, curled up alone on that broken bed, covered his head with the quilt, suppressed his crying, and then slowly fell asleep.

Later, when I grew up, my fear of Li Gui turned into loathing. If I had to, I would try my best to avoid being in the same room, let alone resting on the same bed.

In fact, it's not just about Li Gui, the process of Li Yan's growing up is also a process of gradually rejecting contact and contact with anyone else.

Although the village has a small population, there are always children of the same age playing together.Except for the idea of ​​trying to join at the beginning, but after that, I didn't even get close.

He knew early on that he was a different kind, so he stopped trying to be accepted by others, and maintained a harmonious relationship with the villagers of "as long as you don't come to provoke me, I will never bother you".

The kindness of Uncle Zhang next door would occasionally stop him when he was being chased and beaten by Li Gui, or quietly give him some food when he was starving. This is the kindness that Li Yan has rarely experienced until today.

He has no parents or family members, has no playmates and friends, and has not established a slightly closer relationship with anyone. He has been walking alone for more than ten years, and he thinks that it will continue to be like this in the future——

Even when he decided to come to the capital for Li Shao, and was convinced that this was an opportunity to change his future life, the best thing Li Yan expected in the future was to be able to find out his own background and find out the cause of his mother's death. From then on, she no longer needs to be bullied by others, but she never thought that she would be taken into the Huai'an Palace as soon as she entered the capital, where she would be taught and cared for by Xiao Duo and Xiao Luo. This way you won't feel uncomfortable lying side by side.You will even feel a peace of mind that you have never had before and a throbbing that cannot be described in words...

Li Yan raised his hand to touch his heart, then turned sideways carefully, looking at the peacefully sleeping boy beside him.

The light in the room was dim, but fortunately, starlight shone into the room through the open window, and one could clearly see Yun Zhi's side face, as well as the slightly long eyelashes that fluttered slightly with breathing.

From the first time we met, Li Yan felt that Yun Zhi was good-looking, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, clearly with sharp edges and corners, but because of his youth, his cheeks grew a little tender, and there was a bit of green in his heroic spirit. astringent.

As time goes by, he and Yun Zhi meet more and more, and he still thinks Yun Zhi is good-looking, but it is no longer just admiration from the appearance when they first met, and there are more and more subjective things that only belong to him. preferences.

My favorite should be Yunzhi's eyes, those eyes are always shining, with the look of a young man, the corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, and there is a faint smile on them, when you look over, there will be reflections in the eyes, there will be At that moment, Li Yan had the illusion that this person only had himself in his eyes.

In addition, it was the pair of white and well-articulated hands that made Li Yan almost unable to restrain himself countless times. He wanted to reach out, hold that hand in his palm, intertwined his fingers, and never let go.

In addition to this, there are other things, such as a thin and mottled back with a few light scars, a thin but strong waist and abdomen...

Li Yan's gaze slowly descended from Yun Zhi's face, and through the thin clothes, he seemed to be able to recall the clear picture even though he turned sideways in the afternoon.

Perhaps the weather is too hot, and I feel a little dry mouth inexplicably.

What he said to Gao Liang in the yard in the afternoon was not all jokes.

In order to avoid Li Gui, I met people in the village chatting together during the slack season. What I heard was not all folklore and ghost stories, and what I collected for reading was not just local chronicles and legends from various scripts.

He has heard and seen many vulgar and unspeakable things a long time ago. As he gets older, he gradually understands many things. It's just that he has hidden too many things in his heart, and has no time or interest in them. on these things.

But I never thought that one day I would finally move my mind, but it was an object that I had never expected.

Li Yan closed his eyes lightly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress those thoughts that he tried to hide during the day but unconsciously surged up in the dead of night.

"Can't sleep?" In the silent room, the boy's sleepy voice seemed particularly abrupt.

Li Yan froze, opened his eyes slowly, and met his favorite eyes. After a moment of stupefaction, he remembered to answer: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'm waiting for you..." Yun Zhi covered her lips and yawned, a little water appeared in her eyes, "I found out when I was on the mountain before, you still sleep lightly, if I snore, don't you Can't sleep anymore."

Li Yan blinked and said firmly, "You don't snore."

"How do you know?" Yun Zhi asked back.

Li Yan replied: "Those rooms on the mountain are not well soundproofed. I have heard other people's snoring, but I haven't heard yours."

"I seem to be sorry to hear your tone..." Yun Zhi lay on his side, pillowing his arm, the distance between the two was so close that he could clearly feel each other's breathing, "I want to go to Pingzhou so you can't sleep?"

"No..." Li Yan shook his head, "You also know that I don't sleep much. I slept a lot in the car during the day, so I don't feel sleepy now."

"Then..." Yun Zhi thought for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand, "Can I lend you an arm for a pillow?"

Li Yan was stunned: "Huh?"

"Didn't you sleep soundly with your pillow on my shoulder during the day?" Yun Zhi said, "With your arm, maybe I will fall asleep soon."

Li Yan looked down at the hand stretched out in front of him, and then said with a smile: "That's not the case."

Yun Zhi flicked his arm lightly with her finger: "Are you sure you don't want it?"

Li Yan was silent for a moment, followed by a sudden conditioned reflex, and held the troubled hand in his palm.

Yun Zhi raised her eyes and looked at him without blinking: "What's wrong?"

Li Yan bit his lip slightly, then looked back at him: "Just hold hands."

"Okay..." Yun Zhi rolled her eyes, a smile overflowed from her eyes, the hand she was holding moved lightly, and intertwined with Li Yan's fingers, "Go to sleep now."

The weather is hot, not only someone's palm is sweating, it's not very comfortable to be sticky and greasy, but Li Yan doesn't seem to feel it, and slowly closes his eyes: "Sweet dream..."

Yun Zhi glanced at the clasped hands, lay on her back, and closed her eyes: "You too..."

Really a good night's dream.

When Li Yan woke up, it was already daylight, and he stared at the top of the bed in a daze for a while before fully waking up.

Yun Zhi beside her was gone, and the empty palms seemed as if the night before was just a clear dream.

He squeezed his forehead and sat up, raised his eyes and looked out, just as Yun Zhi entered the door lightly.

He must have been up for a long time, obviously freshened up, his long hair tied high behind his head, and he changed out of the sorghum shirt he borrowed temporarily and put it back on his own, holding a The food box I got.

Looking at each other, Yun Zhi laughed first, and her footsteps returned to normal. After entering the door and putting the food box on the table, she said, "I thought you were going to sleep for a while."

After finishing speaking, there was no response, Yun Zhi turned around and found that Li Yan was still sitting on the edge of the bed staring blankly at herself, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Why didn't you talk? It's a surprise that I got up earlier than you?"

"It's a dream and I haven't fully woken up..." Li Yan seemed to have finally confirmed that the person in front of him is real, and Li Yan laughed, "But there is indeed an accident. If there was no Chen Jinjiao on the mountain before, you would have slept until almost noon."

"I didn't think about being on the mountain before, but I have to get up today... I will go to the palace later, and it will be just in time after the morning break..." Yunzhi finished speaking and pointed to the low stool beside the bed, "The clothes are dry, wash them Come to eat breakfast."

Li Yan looked at the past, the outer robe washed the night before had evaporated to dryness in this weather, leaving only a faint smell of saponin, neatly folded and placed by the bed, as if waiting for him to get up.

It made his heart soften inexplicably.

Yun Zhi didn't stop there, he even went to fetch water, and there was still a slight coolness in the basin, and he splashed it on his face early in the morning, so that his originally ignorant consciousness returned to clarity.

Li Yan wiped his face, sat in front of the bronze mirror and tied his hair, while Yun Zhi sat at the table and looked at him.

Li Yan's long hair was black and thick, hanging loosely over his shoulders, covering most of his shoulders.Yun Zhi looked at it, then walked over suddenly, and took the comb from Li Yan's hand.

Li Yan raised his head and looked at him in a daze: "What?"

"I'll comb it for you." Li Yan's body stiffened for a moment, and then he nodded: "Okay..."

No reason was asked.

Yun Zhi laughed, and combed her long hair slowly.

Not long after, he combed his long hair completely and tied it behind his head. It looked neat and tidy, but he was not very satisfied.

Yun Zhi stared at her result for a while, reached out and took off the jade hairpin on top of her head, inserted it into Li Yan's hair, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay..." He clapped his hands, "Breakfast..."
