The two of them were drenched to the ground, and as soon as they entered the inn, Xiao Er came to meet him, and hurriedly said: "You two guests, it's raining heavily outside, come in, come in."

Fang Yueheng blocked Gu Qingming behind him, covered his shoulders with his wet robe, and took a step forward to ask the waiter in the shop, "Excuse me, are there any vacancies here?"

"There are still a few more." The shopkeeper at the counter was flipping his abacus under the oil lamp, and when he saw that Fang Yueheng wanted to stay in the shop, he immediately spread out the account book, dipped the semi-dry ink with a thin wolf hair, and squinted. Eyes said: "There are two rooms on the second floor, and four rooms on the first floor. Guest officer, do you want to live upstairs or downstairs?"

"Live upstairs and be quiet." Fang Yueheng took out the broken silver from his sleeve pocket, watched the shopkeeper circle the two rooms on the ledger, and winked at Xiao Er——

"Why don't you go upstairs and tidy up two guest rooms for the two gentlemen?"

"Wait, shopkeeper." Fang Yueheng raised his hand to stop Xiao Er who was about to walk away, turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingming's trembling appearance, and continued: "One room is enough, and it needs to be spacious. , clean it up, I will pay the price for two rooms."

The shopkeeper nodded without hesitation, "Oh, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, one room is fine, go up and clean up this young master's room."

After all, he winked his eyes, indicating that he understood Fang Yueheng's meaning.

Fang Yueheng ignored him, just because he just heard that Gu Qingming was afraid of thunder, so he was worried about him living in a room alone.

And the rain is so heavy, I don't know when it will finish, don't know when people leave, so it's more convenient to live in one room.

"Qingming, can you share a room with me?" Fang Yueheng took Gu Qingming's hand and asked in a low voice, "If you don't like it, I'll ask the shopkeeper to prepare two..."

"No need..." Gu Qingming bit her rosy lower lip and shook her head lightly, "I'm scared by myself and want to sleep with you."

Sure enough, he guessed right.

Fang Yueheng rubbed his half-wet hair, twisted it around his fingers twice, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I'll be with you all night."

"Um……"

Seeing that Gu Qingming nodded obediently, Fang Yueheng patted him on the shoulder, and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, prepare a basin of hot water for me. It's raining outside, so I still need to wipe it off."

"Okay, guest officer, you rest first, I'll send it to you in a while." The shopkeeper continued to pull the abacus, and the oil lamp next to it was almost dry.

Fang Yueheng thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, please prepare a thicker quilt. I'm afraid it will be too cold at night, and my brother is not in good health and is susceptible to wind and cold."

"Understood, guest officer, I'll clean it up for you now." The shopkeeper looked up, and it happened that Xiao Er had packed up and came downstairs, so he urged Xiao Er to prepare another thick quilt.

"Let's go, Qingming, go up and have a look." Fang Yueheng supported Gu Qingming's shoulders and walked up. The stairs should be old and old.

So when I stepped on it, there was a "creaking" sound, but it felt a different kind of comfort when I heard it in my ears. Gu Qingming was held tightly by Fang Yueheng, and he felt extremely at ease, but he was a little sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.

Swallows are such a species. They hide in their nests when the weather is cloudy and rainy, shrinking their wings. When the weather clears up completely, they shake off the rain and open their wings comfortably to fly to the sky.

The guest room is very chic, with a few splash-ink paintings hanging on the white wall, and a small clean bed on the right. It shouldn’t be too crowded for two big men to lie down. There is also a sandalwood table near the window. , there are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on it, which may be left for literati to write a legend.

Fang Yueheng turned around.He was quite satisfied, and saw Xiao Er coming in with a quilt in his arms, and hurriedly made way for him. Panting, Xiao Er put the quilt on the bed, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Guest officer, this is already The thickest quilt in our inn."

"Understood, you go down." After Fang Yueheng finished speaking, he took out some broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er. After seeing the silver, Xiao Er quickly thanked them happily, and put the door bolt on for them when they left.

Only Fang Yueheng and Gu Qingming were left in the room. Gu Qingming took off the clothes from his shoulders and handed them to Fang Yueheng, saying, "Well, it's all right, thank you."

"Your clothes are all wet, and I'm still thinking about what you'll wear later." Fang Yueheng sighed. Although his clothes were half dry, he was in good health anyway, and it was fine to sleep overnight under the quilt.

But Gu Qingming couldn't do it, with that frail appearance, he absolutely couldn't sleep with his clothes wet, he would definitely catch a cold.

"It should be fine. I'll send it downstairs in a while and let Xiaoer dry it for me." Gu Qingming said hesitantly.

"Alright, you come here first, I'll dry your hair for you." Fang Yueheng asked Gu Qingming to sit on the bed with his back facing him. He took a dry towel, pulled Gu Qingming's shoulders, and began to wipe his black hair. Soft hair.

"Why are you afraid of thunder? Is there any reason?" Fang Yueheng's voice came softly from behind.

"Hmm..." Gu Qingming was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer, but lowered his head nervously.

For fear that Fang Yueheng would find out that something was wrong with him, "It's so noisy when it thunders, I feel uncomfortable, and it's also uncomfortable when it rains, as long as it's bad weather, I don't like it..."

"You little thing has a lot to do." Fang Yueheng squeezed his fair and round face, and said with a smile: "Then what do you do when you encounter bad weather?"

"Lie in the quilt and sleep, just sleep for a while."

"Okay, then you go to sleep. I'll wipe your face after they bring up the hot water, otherwise you'll get a cold easily."

Gu Qingming nodded. In fact, he really wanted to transform back into Yan's body to rest, but he couldn't do it in front of Fang Yueheng.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to scare people to death, so I obediently got into the bed, and seeing Fang Yueheng busy, I couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in my heart.

He hoped that the rain would last longer, so that Fang Yueheng could stay with him in this small house for the rest of his life, that would be great.

Fang Yueheng picked up a wet veil, put it on Gu Qingming's forehead, and wiped it slowly from top to bottom. Gu Qingming closed his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes fluttered on the eyelids. Coupled with his fair skin, he looked even more beautiful. It is delicate and beautiful.

"Go to sleep after cleaning. Let's leave early tomorrow morning, and I'll send you back." Fang Yueheng moved a stool and sat next to him, patted his hand and said softly.

"You...Aren't you going to sleep?" Seeing that Fang Yueheng didn't intend to go to bed, Gu Qingming opened his eyes and asked in doubt.

"I'll just stay here and watch you." Fang Yueheng lowered his eyes, filled with a smile, "I can't ruin your reputation."

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me. It's so cold for you to sit here by yourself, you'd better come up and sleep." Gu Qingming lifted a corner of the thick quilt.

Fang Yueheng shook his head, picked up the red wooden box next to him, changed the subject and said, "Don't you want to see what this is before going to bed?"

Seeing this, Gu Qingming suddenly remembered, isn't this the prize he won from the place where he guessed the lantern riddles? He quickly got up, stared at Fang Yueheng and said softly, "If you want to see it, open it quickly."

"Then let me see what you won for me." Fang Yueheng used his slender fingers to pick the small buckle on the wooden box, and gently pulled it back, the lid of the wooden box popped up. Gu Qingming quickly lowered his head and looked inside. Look, only to find that it is a little doll made of wood.

"Well... what is this? It looks good, but it doesn't seem to be useful." Gu Qingming held the grinning wooden doll in his hand and asked, "Yue Heng, what is this for?"

Fang Yueheng looked at Gu Qingming's slightly frowning expression, and suddenly felt that this person was so good-looking even frowning, he didn't look like a worldly figure, he took the wooden doll and said: "This, is it Gently twist it open, and there are other things inside."

As he said that, Fang Yueheng had already twisted the wooden doll away, and there was actually a smaller doll inside. Gu Qingming suddenly became interested, and quickly took the wooden doll in Fang Yueheng's hand and continued to twist it away. Row.

"It's so interesting, I've never seen this thing before." Gu Qingming looked at them and said, "Yue Heng, can you..."

"Okay, I'll give it to you." Fang Yueheng knew what Gu Qingming meant, and he knew it before he finished speaking. Gu Qingming immediately took a bunch of small logs into his arms, saying that he wanted to hold them and play with them all day .

Fang Yueheng could only smile and shake his head helplessly at him, then got up and sat down at the table, poured a cup of hot tea to drink, and put the red flower lantern that Gu Qingming gave him in the corner, and he was a little drenched. It got wet, Fang Yueheng thought to put it there for a night first, and take it back when the rain dries up tomorrow morning.

"Qingming, are you having a good time today?" Fang Yueheng watched the hot steam coming out of the tea, and felt that it was still a bit hot for Gu Qingming to serve, so he needed to wait.

"Yeah." Gu Qingming buried half of his face in the quilt, and said in a low voice, "It's a pleasure to be with you."

"The Lantern Festival is originally a lively festival, but yesterday it rained because of bad weather, otherwise I can take you to many interesting places."

"Next time." Gu Qingming pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, he started cheering in his heart.

"It's okay next time, no matter where you want to go, tell Lao Li first, and I will take you there after I arrange the time."

Fang Yueheng walked to Gu Qingming's side with the tea, carefully handed him the hot tea, and said, "Drink it quickly, and sleep after drinking it, it will warm you up."

"Well, good." Gu Qingming took the teacup and slowly poured the warm tea down his throat. Sure enough, he had been bouncing and laughing all day, and his voice was already a little hoarse. Now a cup of hot tea is just right.
