worthless [rebirth]

Breakfast is eaten downstairs.

Chen Ling almost had a dream last night, because he didn't sleep well and had dark circles under his eyes. In order to improve Chen Ling's sleep, Jiang Chi specially asked the chef to cook a bowl of soft oatmeal almond porridge.

However, what worries Jiang Chi the most is not that Chen Ling didn't sleep well last night, but that the other party suddenly behaved a little strangely after waking up early in the morning, especially when Chen Ling was holding his clothes tightly and looking up to ask him "Ah Chi, will you leave me one day?" Jiang Chi suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

Jiang Chi knew that according to Chuling's temperament, he would never say such a thing no matter what.

Not to mention that the other party ran away several times before and hated him to the bone, even though Chen Ling had taken the initiative to soften his attitude in the past two months and was no longer as thorny as before, but he never took the initiative to say such emotional words.These words gave Jiang Chi the illusion that Chen Ling also loved him.

Although, Chen Ling never said "love" to him once.

However, seeing the other party's nervous face and even tears in his eyes, Jiang Chi didn't have time to delve into the source of his uneasiness, so he just rubbed the slightly trembling Chen Ling into his arms, and patted him. With a solemn back as if making an oath, he said, "I want to have a long life with you, so why would I leave you?" After a pause, he pushed Chen Ling away a little, looked deeply into his eyes, and kissed him Between the eyebrows, he sighed with a smile: "It's you... I'm always afraid that one day you will leave me without saying a word..."

"..." Countless times in the past, he thought that the person he saw was Jiang Chi, but he didn't expect to see his own face in the dream last night. Because he was so shocked, he just woke up Will blurt out that sentence.In fact, there was no trace of Jiang Chi in that dream at all, and he didn't know why Jiang Chi was the first thing he thought of when he woke up.

Now that he calmed down, he realized that he had just said that to Jiang Chi, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Thinking of all the things in his previous life, he even looked down on him, and he would throw himself into Jiang Chi's arms because of a dream. He, Chen Ling, was so contemptuous in his bones?Moving his body calmly, Chen Ling left Jiang Chi's warm embrace. Although his heart suddenly felt empty at that moment, he deliberately ignored it.

It was just a dream, he must have paid too much attention to the woman in red he saw yesterday, that's why he thought about it day and night and thought it wasn't real, Chen Ling comforted himself like this.However, Jiang Chi kept looking at him with burning eyes, making it impossible for him to avoid it. He had no choice but to lower his eyes and whisper: "The way I was struggling in a nightmare just now, did it disturb you to sleep?"

"Your sleeping appearance is very good." Jiang Chi smiled lowly: "But the paws are like little wild cats, and now my neck hurts a bit from scratching."

"..." Chen Ling looked up at Jiang Chi's neck, and saw two red marks on the right side close to the ears, with thin blood streaks in the middle. He opened his mouth, and said in surprise, "I caught it." of?"

"Ang!" Jiang Chi nodded, with an aggrieved expression on his face, and said, "Now the pain is burning, help me see if the skin is broken..."

"Take some medicine. I remember that you brought a lot of medicine for trauma when you left the palace." Chen Ling said, sitting up and looking for medicine, but the back was so sore that he sat up halfway and lay back directly. Only then did he think of himself last night After being tossed about by Jiang Chi for most of the night, the scar on the other party's neck might have been accidentally caught by him at that time, so he couldn't help but blushed, and avoided looking at Jiang Chi.

"Heh..." Jiang Chi had long since discovered that Chen Ling was as thin-skinned as paper, and had no Yu, Xi, Tuan, Team, Du, Jia at all.Forbidden teasing, showing up when you are shy, is more accurate than drinking, but Jiang Chi didn't intend to give up easily this morning, so he rolled over and wrapped Chen Ling under him, poked Chen Ling's flushed cheek with his fingertips, and said in a low voice: "Little wild cat, cat... Do you have a backache that you can't get out of bed now..."

"..." Chen Ling was really disgusted by Jiang Chi's soft and greasy "cat", and felt a chill, and countless goose bumps appeared on his body.He stared angrily with his blushing face, it was just a bluff, and he cursed in a low voice: "Bastard..."

"Hmm..." Jiang Chi nodded with a smile, slowly approached Chen Ling, and said in a low voice, "There's something even worse... Do you want to experience it..."

"Don't!" Looking at Jiang Chi, when the hot breath from the other party was getting closer, Chen Ling was finally defeated, turned his head to avoid Jiang Chi, and said: "We have to hurry, not out to play of."

"What the cat said is true." Jiang Chi nodded with a smile, and let go of Chen Ling.

Silently rolled his eyes in his heart, Chen Ling felt that the fact that he scratched down with his paw last night and left two blood marks on Jiang Chi's neck, Jiang Chi would make fun of him for the rest of his life, and even gave it back to him. He gave a chilling nickname like "Cat".Pursing his lips, the more Chen Ling thought about it, the more he felt that he should be more ruthless last night. It would be better to scratch Jiang Chi's face and disfigure him. Only in this way can he be worthy of the word "cat" and understand his heart Hate!

Chen Ling planned in his heart where scratching would be the most lethal, and a somewhat "weird" smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Jiang Chi was getting dressed, when he turned around and saw Chen Ling lying on the bed with a calculating smile on his face, he shivered for no reason, and a chill came down his back.

Although his back was sore and his legs ached, Chen Ling finally struggled to get up because Cao Xun came to knock on the door.

"Did you sleep well last night? Brother Ziling, I heard your voice strangely at night. Are you okay?"

"..." Chen Ling didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Jiang Chi for help.

"Heh..." Jiang Chi just folded his arms and chuckled, showing no intention of helping.

Chen Ling glared at Jiang Chi resentfully, and said to the door, "No...it's okay, I was stepped on by a mouse last night."

"..." Jiang Chi's face froze for a moment, and he raised his hand to hit Chen Ling, but he took it back after being stared at by Chen Ling, biting Chen Ling's ear and whispering: "The mouse is still biting your ear now!" Ear, why don't you speak?"

"Are there any rats in the inn?" Cao Xun asked doubtfully.

"Cough!" Jiang Chi coughed, and said solemnly, "There are not only mice, but also wild cats!"

"You!" Chen Ling was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. If he hadn't been sore and weak, he would have "killed" Jiang Chi a long time ago.

"Well, my room is not so lively. Cats and mice are interesting, interesting!" Cao Xun said, "In this situation, if I have a chance, I can sing a poem..." His voice gradually fell, and Cao Xun seemed to have gone far away. .

Chen Ling and Jiang Chi looked at each other, speechless.They thought that although Cao Xun was a scholar, he was at least a litigator, but they didn't expect him to be so fond of "reciting a poem" at every turn.

It wasn't until his legs were weak and trembling when he went downstairs that Chen Ling understood why it took Cao Xun a stick of incense to go from the first floor to the second floor last night. If Jiang Chi hadn't supported his waist and lent him strength, Chen Ling probably I may use it longer than Cao Xun.

It seems that Qiu Suo has already given the medicine to Cao Xun, and the other party has already used it, otherwise he would not be sitting on the stool and preparing to eat.Jiang Chi asked Qiu Suo to buy medicine for Cao Xun just to talk about it. The medicine was brought from the palace. Although it could not heal the wound immediately, the effect of analgesic and pain relief was excellent.

Xiao Er recommended several local specialties, and Jiang Chi picked out a few light side dishes for Chen Ling, and asked the chef to cook a bowl of oatmeal and almond porridge for him.

Both oatmeal and almonds have the effect of improving sleep and calming the mind. Chen Ling knew this, but he didn't expect Jiang Chi to be so careful. After all the fuss this morning, he still remembered that he didn't sleep well last night. And I specially ordered a bowl of oatmeal and almond porridge, and I felt a little moved.

When the food was served, when Chen Ling was eating the soft and delicious almond porridge, Cao Xun suddenly put down the bowl in his hand, leaned close to Chen Ling and stretched his neck to look carefully, still saying "Huh? "A cry.

Chen Ling was startled, leaned back to hide, and said, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Chi frowned in displeasure, and was about to defend Chen Ling, when he heard Cao Xun suddenly realize: "Brother Ziling, don't you have cats and mice in your room, but also mosquitoes? You have mosquitoes in your neck." There are several bright red spots, and the mosquitoes are so powerful in early summer!"

Chen Ling lowered his head and said "hmmm" a few times to prevaricate, but did not speak.

Jiang Chi looked into Chen Ling's neck and found that he had left it for him last night.Knowing that Chen Ling has a thin skin, he must be embarrassed now, so he stretched out his hand to help Chen Ling pull up the neckline to cover it, and said calmly: "Zi Ling's skin has been bad since he was a child, and he will turn red when he is bitten by a mosquito." As he spoke, he turned his head to Chen Ling and said, "Go to the carriage after eating, and I'll apply some anti-itch ointment on you."

"Okay." Chen Ling said sullenly, and took all the porridge in the bowl into his mouth as quickly as possible.

"Eat slowly." Jiang Chi said, picking up food for Chen Ling as if no one else was there, glanced at Qiu Suo, and said, "Go and hire another carriage for Mr. Cao, the journey is far away, Mr. Cao is injured You need to rest quietly, you can’t always be crowded with us.”

"Brother Mo is simply too polite!" It is not an exaggeration to describe Cao Xun with tears of gratitude, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can squeeze together with you! Don't spend any more money on me!"

Jiang Chi put the vegetables in Chen Ling's bowl, pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smirk: "Hehe...no trouble, brother Cao's body is the most important thing."

"Cough cough!" Chen Ling naturally knew what was going on in Jiang Chi's mind. He was startled by Jiang Chi's "fake benevolence and righteousness" appearance, and he choked hard, so he cautiously put the blame on Jiang Chi again.

After breakfast, Qiu Suo has also found a new carriage. The driver is a local old farmer, who looks about 50 years old, with gray hair and an honest look.Because Jiang Chi paid him a handsome sum of money, the old man agreed to send them to Chaozhou.

Chen Ling didn't know if his eyes were dazzled. When he got into the carriage, he seemed to see a red shadow flash past behind the half-opened window of a room on the second floor of the inn. Nothing left.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Chi followed Chen Ling's gaze, but found nothing, so he asked.

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "Maybe I misread it."

"Hurry up and get in the car." Jiang Chi said.

Chen Ling still couldn't help turning his head back before getting into the carriage, but everything disappeared as if it was his illusion.He even couldn't help wondering whether the woman in red had really appeared at the inn last night, or if it was because he dreamed at night that he thought about it day by day, and it was a terrible hallucination.

At that time, Chen Ling didn't know that when he stepped on the carriage to Chaozhou, everything that had deviated from the track returned to the original point and was slowly approaching him.

There is a force in the dark, dragging him until he falls into the bottomless abyss.

And when he realized this, the relationship between him and Jiang Chi... was irreversible.
