Male Fox Liaozhai Fanran

The long night is coming to an end, the autumn rain is lingering, the cold wind blows against the closed window lattice, the rain on the eaves is connected into a line, and the sound of knocking is more leaking, but the room full of orange light is warm like summer, and the stove in the center of the room is burning brightly. It was burning, and the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Bai Ze gently stirred the spoon with the medicine that had been warmed countless times, but his eyes never left the person lying quietly on the bed, his frowning seemed locked.

On the couch, the fox was covered tightly by the thick silkworm quilt, leaving only a thin and pale face outside, with crow hair like a cloud, spread all over the porcelain pillows, warm candlelight gently falling, for the sleeping man Her face was covered with a trace of fragile fragility.

Bai Ze took off the already warm towel on the fox's forehead, soaked it again in cold water, wrung it dry, and carefully covered the man's hot forehead.

As if stimulated by the icy temperature, the fox frowned and panted softly, a faint burning flush appeared on his cheeks, like rouge that had faded away, with a touch of moving brilliance in a trance.

"Hmm...Bai Ze...Bai Ze...help me..."

Hearing this, Bai Ze grabbed the man's plain hand resting on the edge of the bed, and instantly filled the empty palm. His lips gently pressed against the back of the man's hand, and his heart seemed to be dependent in an instant.

"I'm here, Xiulang, I'm here, you wake up..."

The fox frowned and raised his head, revealing a slender and white neck, mumbling something vaguely in his mouth, struggling violently all over his body, and soon broke out in cold sweat, his black hair was completely wet Sticking to the side of the pale face, the lips were bitten off at some point, and the bright red was like crushed petals, and there was an extraordinary beauty.

Seeing this, Bai Ze immediately grabbed the man's palm without hesitation. This time he used such force that he pulled the fox out of the nightmare almost instantly.

Although he woke up, the vixen was still in a daze, his whole body was so soft and hot, he didn't even have the strength to speak, and he could only breathe lightly and swim like flying catkins, his pain was almost broken.

Bai Ze propped up the man's body, held the medicine bowl in one hand, and brought it to the fox's lips, but those pale and thin lips were pressed tightly together, as if angry, no matter what, he did not let go.

One mouthful of the medicine only wetted his lips, and almost all the rest dripped down the man's chin and onto the collar of his shirt. After a while, the fox coughed violently, with a hoarse voice that could hardly make a sound.

"Cough cough...cough!"

The fox's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, his brows and eyes seemed to be half-closed, the tip of his nose was sweaty, his face was covered with frost and snow, and his long hair was scattered on his shoulders like a waterfall, making his thin body even more pitiful.

Bai Ze put the handkerchief against the man's chin and took the medicine, he broke out in a sweat, "Xiu Lang, good boy... Open your mouth, drink the medicine to get well... Only then can you play with Jianer..."

The fox seemed to be able to hear the man's words, his lips loosened, and when the medicine bowl that Bai Ze was holding came close, he instinctively closed it again, and kept shrinking back.

"Don't you want to see Jane?"

The person at the corner of the bed froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Then do you drink medicine?"

The fox bit his lip and shook his head, shrinking back pitifully.

Looking at the man's childlike behavior, Bai Ze didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He looked at the cold medicine in his hand, then at the fox's trembling eyes, took a sip first, kept it in his mouth, warmed it up, then leaned forward, closed his eyes and gently pressed the medicine Hot lips.

"Well!"

The fox's body trembled suddenly, and a muffled moan came out of its throat, but its whole body was restrained by Bai Ze's powerful arms, unable to move a single inch.

The lips as smooth as cream were carefully pried open, and the bitter and warm medicine immediately poured into the lips and teeth, and choked into the swollen throat.

"Um...uh..."

The bitter medicine was gone, but this kiss seemed to be possessed by a demon, and she didn't want to let it go, instead, she fell deeper and deeper, and the entanglement became tighter.

A wisp of brown-black concoction slipped from between the lips of the two who were biting together desperately without leaving any gaps, and dropped drop by drop on the fox's blushing, half-open chest.

Half of the brocade quilt fell to the ground at some point, and the snow-white silk clothes covered the man's soft and thin body like a layer of mist. A jade-white foot hung in the air on the edge of the bed, and his fingers were tightly curled up. It seems to be covered with a layer of seductive thin red.

Bai Ze had a sense of propriety, knowing that it was not time to mess around, he reluctantly accepted the kiss, and covered the man with the quilt, and then only seriously fed the medicine one mouthful, and did not act recklessly.

And the fox was as quiet and obedient as a child. The man fed him a mouthful, and he swallowed it obediently. After a while, the bowl of concoction was empty.

Not long after, perhaps the bitter taste irritated the nerves, or the medicine took effect quickly, the fox moved his fingertips, and the hand hanging by his side was immediately held tightly by Bai Ze, and he slowly opened it. In a pair of tired eyes, there is still a touch of delicate water in the dark pupils.

"Bai Ze..." The fox moved its lips that were inexplicably numb, and the hand that was clenched by the man unconsciously grabbed him back, coughed a few times and said, "Where's Jane?"

Seeing those eyes that were as clear as water, Bai Ze felt relieved, and said with a smile, "At first, I wanted to keep you awake, but later I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, Ah Jiu carried him to sleep."

The fox frowned and said, "What time is it now?"

"Yin time." Bai Ze paused, then said calmly, "It's Yin time the next day."

The fox was startled, and looked at the dark night outside the window, but he couldn't see the imminent dawn at all.

"I... have slept for so long."

The fox looked at Bai Ze's bloodshot eyes, and felt a sudden pain in his heart. Unknowingly, he raised his fingertips, and lightly brushed the blue-colored cheeks of the man, "You haven't rested?"

The gentle touch and the warm fingertips made Bai Ze forget the blame and worry in his heart instantly. There was only a touch of joy and distress intertwined in his eyes. He smiled indifferently and said, "I'm not a mortal. won't get tired."

As soon as these words came out, the fox felt even more uncomfortable. His pale five fingers unconsciously clenched the bed sheet under him tightly, and only a bitter smile remained on his face.

"If my body wasn't like this..."

Bai Ze immediately stopped his words, and said, "Don't worry, I will nourish you well, and you will soon be the lively little fox you used to be."

The fox just smiled lightly when he heard this, with sporadic light shining in his eyes, as clear as moons in the water.

"You forgot, I am a nine-tailed fox and have nine lives, so it doesn't matter if I lose one."

Bai Ze's heart tightened when he heard the words, and the more flat the tone of that person, the more startled he became. He hastily embraced the thin fox's body in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense, since ancient times the nine-tailed fox The saying that you have nine lives is just a legend, and no one has confirmed it, and besides, even if you really have nine lives, they are all mine and no one can take them away."

The fox stopped talking, and closed his eyes as if he was tired. When he opened them, his eyelashes were moist, like the morning dew.

He took out a bulging white handkerchief from under the pillow, and lifted the four corners.

"I've been so busy with Jane these days that I forgot about it."

The fine and clear sound is like a spring of lingling, quietly lying beside my ears.

Bai Ze looked down, and was stunned suddenly, only to see many shiny broken jade lying quietly in the silk spa, emitting light.

"The safety buckle you gave me... I accidentally broke it that day, only one piece was missing, and it couldn't be put together..."

There was a slight hoarseness in the low and weak voice, like continuous rain flowing over the tip of my heart, a little aggrieved and a little helpless.

The fox lowered his head, and Bai Ze could only see the top of the dark, fluffy head. For some reason, he always felt that the person must be about to cry now.

Bai Ze remembered that that day when the fox clutched a piece of blood-soaked broken jade into the palm of his hand, at that time, at the most lonely and helpless time, he must have called his own, but he did not Know.

The suddenly quiet air made the fox feel inexplicably uneasy, and he said cautiously, "Bai Ze...are you angry?"

Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, his lowered eyes were facing those beautiful peach blossom eyes, and there seemed to be a spring breeze blowing in front of his eyes, he lowered his head and rubbed the soft fingertips of that person, and said slowly: "Why am I angry with you?" ?”

"When I returned to Kunlun, the master immediately knocked me into a coma, and didn't even give me a chance to speak. When I woke up, it was already more than ten days later, and Yu, who was the pair with you, was gone... His old man is so stubborn. My heart wanted to trap me, so I tried every means to steal jade and escape, but it was still a step too late..."

"What I hate is my incompetence."

"Obviously we have an agreement with you, as soon as you call me, I will appear."

As he spoke, Bai Ze took out the broken jade from the fox's hand that day from his bosom, and gently placed it in the palm of the man, and a tear fell on the palm of the white hand, "This is the missing piece." , that day, you held it in your hand all the time."

"Xiu Lang, you hate me."

The fox was stunned, as if it took him a long time to digest what the man said, then he raised his hand and gently touched the top of Bai Ze's head. Compared with Bai Ze, his body was much thinner and weaker. Cute, "Yesterday you comforted me, don't take all the faults on yourself, why do you forget all about it now?"

"Bai Ze, without you, I might be just a ghost today."

"Jane also became alone."

"You have walked with me for hundreds of years..."

"Tell me, why should I hate you?"

At the end of the speech, the fox felt that his eyes were a little hot. Everything in front of him was like a ink painting dazzled by water, swaying, as if it was about to melt into water droplets and fall down. He sniffed, lowered his head and wiped his tears on the warm face chest, with a nasal voice: "It's all over, Bai Ze... It's all over."

He repeated it over and over again, more like he was talking to himself, a handful of scorching skin in the bud-colored brocade bag on his chest was hot.

it's already over.

Bai Ze followed suit, "It's all over."

Then he moved the man's cool cheek to face him, and kissed him deeply.

"Well... um..."

The fox's body stiffened for a moment, and then softened like a newly-plucked willow. He stretched out two hands and gently grabbed the man's neck, and hooked himself to respond.

The sound of rain is sparse, and the morning light leaks slightly.

The two stayed glued to each other for an unknown amount of time, and when they parted, the fox was tossed with all kinds of meat and vegetables, and his lips were as red as newly-growth cherries, and they were about to drip.

Bai Ze fixed the long hair that had slipped by the ear for that man, and with his lips reluctantly resting on the fox's forehead, he said in a low voice, "Xiu Lang, come with me, take Jane with you, and follow me."

The fox slightly raised his brows and put his hands on his chest subconsciously, "Where are you going?"

"The world is so big, where can it be?"

At this moment, there was a clear knock on the door, and a fiery red flashed outside the door.

"Bai Ze, is the fox... awake? I brought Jane in."

After saying that, Ah Jiu pushed the door open and walked in, holding a small pink and jade doll in her arms. After seeing the two people in the room clearly, her cheeks flushed suddenly, she handed the child to the fox, and turned her head away. And escaped.

Jian'er blinked her big watery eyes, raised her small hands and pulled the fox's skirt indiscriminately. It didn't matter, the fox's loose single clothes were completely scattered, and a large piece of snow-white skin dyed with thin red was exposed in an instant. In the slightly cold air, it looks like fat, like flowing clouds, and it seems that it can be wiped off with a light touch. The crow's hair is scattered all over the bed, and the person who is getting more and more white is like the moon, clear and bright.

The fox let Jian'er mess around, pampering her with a smile all the time.

"Jane... why are you so naughty... um? Hey! Don't touch it! It's itchy..."

"Stop making trouble...haha...little thing, you make trouble with me again...ha..."

Bai Ze coughed twice, picked up the little guy who was "doing something wrong" on his own father, turned around, took a deep breath and said, "Put on your clothes quickly, you haven't recovered from the fever yet."

"Oh."

After a while, there was the rustling sound of cloth rubbing behind him, making the provocative Bai Ze feel hot and uneasy.

The little guy lay on Bai Ze's shoulder and looked back, saw the fox's slender waist like a bamboo, let out a "Wow", saw the fox's long white legs, let out a "Wow", saw the fox's clothes Smiling neatly, he opened his hands towards himself, and yelled "Wow".

The fox smiled and took the child over Bai Ze's shoulder, and said, "Bai Ze, are you okay, why do you seem to be shaking?"

Bai Ze turned around and said, "It's a bit hot in the room."

"Really? Then I'll turn down the stove."

"No need." Bai Ze hurriedly grabbed the fox's wrist, blushing and said, "It's...not that hot."

"Your clothes are beautiful."

The fox looked down at the water jade cloud shirt on his body and the azure sash that hung down his waist, and frowned, "I used to always wear it like this."

"Today is very beautiful."

The fox was stunned, but before he could react, he was lightly pecked on the left cheek.

Seeing this, Jian'er imitated Bai Ze's appearance and slapped the man's right cheek with a resounding voice.

The fox stood in a daze for a moment, and a faint sunset glow immediately appeared on his face. He frowned slightly and said, "Bai Ze, can you stop doing this in front of Jane?"

"What do children know?"

"Don't look at him as small, in fact, you can see everything in your eyes."

Bai Ze smiled lightly and said, "Then does he know that I like you?"

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with dignity.

Bai Ze rubbed the top of the child's furry head as if rewarding him, and murmured, "So you really know everything."

With a hot face on the fox's face, he turned around and was about to go out, but when he flicked his sleeves, he inadvertently dropped something on the cabinet in the corner, and the sound came to his ears clearly.

He stopped and looked back, but his body suddenly became cold.

On the ground is a half-open folding fan, with a lively little fox painted on the fan, and a jade pendant as clear as water hanging on the tail of the fan, with a lustrous luster, as if telling those unreachable dreams.

It used to be a dream, but now it is an obsession that should be let go.

Bai Ze took two steps forward, leaned over to pick up the fan and put it gently on the table, then approached the man, and gently hugged the stiff body from behind.

Time seemed to stand still at this tender moment. In the quiet and flowing air, only the sound of breathing of the two of them intertwined with the whispering of the child.

The fox relaxed his body, took a long breath and said, "Bai Ze, I..."

"I know, you don't have to say, I'll wait for you."

The fox freed up a hand, and lightly, like a promise, put it on Bai Ze's hands folded on his waist, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

In the days after waking up, he kept not mentioning that person, not daring or willing.

Life continued on so lightly, without anyone disturbing, in fact, it was all right.

But he knows that the matter is not over yet, he still owes a final break, returning with Yun Yuan, with Liu Zigu, and also with his heart that has been wandering and helpless for hundreds of years, a final farewell.
