Xi Xiu walked very steadily and very fast all the way, but fortunately Xie Zhenge did not show any signs of waking up, and it was not until he returned to Shen Xiangxie that his suspended heart was slightly relieved.

After settling this person down, he closed the bed curtain, took off his cloak to cover the window, and then went out of the house to ask Dongrui to boil water.

A quarter of an hour later, after receiving the hot copper pot, Xi Xiu glanced at Dong Rui indifferently.The girl's complexion was as usual, she must have seen the strange scene before her, maybe she knew the reason the day Ye Zhenge didn't return, but when she asked about it, she didn't mention it.

Xi Xiu became more and more aware of what kind of place Ye Mansion was: gold bricks and silver tiles, a huge cage made of jade trees and Qiongzhi.No matter what kind of mask the people who live here wear, the heart under the mask is equally cold and numb.

Xi Xiu will not make things difficult for Dong Rui, a humble maid who has no choice but to obey her "master".

After thanking him, Xi Xiu picked up the pot and pushed open the door, only to see Ye Zhenge woke up at some point and was sitting at the table eating some snacks.Being blindfolded obviously did not cause Ye Zhenge any inconvenience. He got out of bed, walked from the bed to the table and stool, and took the food after he sat down.

After closing the door behind her back, Xi Xiu hurriedly put out three teacups, filled them all with hot water, picked up a cup and blew it away for a long time, and then handed it to the other party after the temperature dropped: "Drink some water, be careful not to choke."

Ye Zhenge acted as if he had never heard of it, and just swallowed the food in mouthfuls.

Seeing him eat half of the plate in the blink of an eye, Xi Xiu couldn't help but frowned, pushed the plate away, grabbed his hand and called, "Ye Zhenge?"

Ye Zhenge didn't listen, and stretched out his other hand stubbornly, but was immediately pressed down by Xi Xiu on the table.He twisted his arms and tilted his head slightly, and said doubtfully, "First trip..."

His expression changed suddenly, and anger emerged between Xi Xiu's brows: "I'm not Shen Chuxing."

Ye Zhenge was startled, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly struggled!

Xi Xiu forced his shoulders to face her, and said in a deep voice, "Are you really confused or pretending to be? Can't you recognize who I am?!"

Suddenly trembling slightly, Ye Zhenge moved his lips and said: "Xi...Xiu?"

"Xi Xiu..." Seemingly letting go of all his guard for a moment, Ye Zhenge curled his mouth and put his arms around his neck, mumbled, "Xi Xiu... I'm hungry..."

"It's uncomfortable to eat too much snacks, I'll make porridge for you." Patting his back, Xi Xiu knew that he was not only not awake, but even so confused that he couldn't ignore the scorching heat of his body through the heavy clothing.Concerned about it, Xi Xiu realized that this person had a fever.

Zi Sha Zhang's injury was not healed and he should have taken good care of it, but since returning to Qianning, Ye Zhenge never had a moment's rest. "Chizhou Zhilue" has more than [-] words, how can he memorize it in his mind?How did the injury on his forehead be caused?How long has he not eaten?

No wonder there is running water in that dungeon, I'm afraid there is nothing but water...

Helping Ye Zhenge back into the bed, Xi Xiu shook his hand under the quilt, but she was grabbed tightly just as she was about to get up, so she sat back, looked at the other's lips that were pursed into a line, and comforted him: "I'm going to cook the porridge." But the strength binding the wrists did not disappear at all.

This caused Xi Xiu to have the illusion that Ye Zhenge was like a drowning man, and he was the only piece of driftwood he could hold onto.Just like that moonlit night in Lin Haixi Valley half a year ago, he suddenly held himself and said: Thank you for saving me.This sentence of thanks may be sincere, he is indeed asking for help, hoping that someone can free him from the long-term shackles.

Recalling that moonlit night, more memories of the past came to my mind.

——In this world, the food and wine, the loyalty of the rivers and lakes, and the love between children and children are all very pleasant. When you broaden your horizons, you will know that this place is cramped, but a corner of the world.

Xi Xiu always remembered this sentence.To this day, he has experienced the vastness of the world, the prosperity of the world, the conspiracies and scheming, the dark room and the selfishness, the warmth of the lovers in the world, and the delicious food and wine. On the contrary, he misses the sweet pool in the deep valley, and misses that Ye Zhenge, who leans on the pool and fishes alone, but can't catch a single fish.

Wouldn't it be nice if Ye Zhenge was really that clumsy?A person who can't catch a single fish, or a person who can't handle a single fish, doesn't have to take heavy responsibilities if he isn't a master.

"You have to be obedient, if you are not obedient, I will go back to the valley alone." It was clearly a threat, but Xi Xiu said it like it was in extreme pain.

"Don't go..."

The almost begging voice, the fragile posture, and the scorching temperature between her fingers made Xi Xiu's heart tightly curl up into a ball.Knowing that Ye Zhenge couldn't see, Xi Xiu still covered his eyes with her palms, kissed him lightly on the brow, and said, "Even if you burn so stupidly, you are still cunning..."

The person who once frankly said "I love you" has stayed in the past, but now Xi Xiu can't say it, let alone ask, because he doesn't need Ye Zhenge's specious answer.Words are all false. Whether this person has himself in his heart will always be clear when he waits for the revenge to end and when he loses the value of being used and coaxed.

It wasn't until Ye Zhenge fell asleep from sleepiness that Xi Xiu was able to escape.

Instructing Dong Rui to prepare some porridge and side dishes, Xi Xiu returned to the house with a food box and medicine for trauma.Unintentionally waking him up, he carefully cleaned the other's wound, wiped his hands and face, and changed his clothes.Today, he takes care of injuries with ease.

Surrounding the bed for several days, he hardly ever closed his eyes. Ye Zhenge's fever this time is much worse than half a year ago, and his waking time in a day is very short.

The corner of the table away from the bed was lit with an oil lamp, and the window was opened a thin crack, and the cool night wind blew away the strong smell of medicine in the house.Xi Xiu held an empty bowl with one hand, and there was still some black concoction in the bottom of the bowl, and was wiping her lips with the other hand.He just fed Ye Zhenge medicine, more than ten doses back and forth, almost let him taste the sweetness from the bitterness.

Putting the bowl aside casually, Xi Xiu leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the sleeping person wearily. The blindfold had been removed, and the dim light cast a shallow shadow on Ye Zhenge's eyes.Watching and watching, he couldn't help caressing the other person's eyebrows, but unexpectedly the long eyelashes fluttered slightly and opened.

Xi Xiu quickly withdrew her palm, and the next moment Ye Zhenge frowned and looked at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been asleep..."

"Three days." Seeing him raising his hand to wipe his forehead, Xi Xiu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't touch it, the medicine has just been applied."

Ye Zhenge tried his best to prop up his body, and said urgently: "What time is it today?"

"eighteen."

Xi Xiu now knew that he was fully awake, so she began to ask about the time to make new calculations. Three days ago, she pulled the person who said "don't go" to her, it seemed to be out of thin air.

Sure enough, I heard him say: "There are only less than two months left before the Wu Zun Conference, and there are still many things—"

There was a sudden stabbing pain in the forehead, and the discomfort caused the gastric juice to surge suddenly. Ye Zhenge hurriedly leaned forward and vomited a mouthful of the medicine juice, then awkwardly raised his sleeve and lightly touched the corner of his mouth, without raising his head for a while.

Xi Xiuguan smiled jokingly: "I've seen you in a more embarrassing state than now, why be embarrassed."

"Are you pitying me?"

Looking at him strangely, Xi Xiu laughed and said: "You have a father like Ye Qing, you are indeed worthy of pity... But you must understand a truth, poor people must have something to hate, even if you have difficulties, choose this After all, you are the one who leads the way, and it’s all about seeking benevolence.”

"Well said," Ye Zhenge said, looking up at the other party, "You can only swallow the bitter fruit you brew yourself."

"You are reflecting on your mistakes, and regret that you shouldn't have lied to me?"

"If it makes you feel better, you can take it that way."

Xi Xiu was indifferent, because he didn't want the other party to find out his sway, so he shouldn't be angry at this sentence, but when he realized it, the other party had been grabbed by the skirt and dragged to his eyes: "You are hopeless! !"

Leaning close to Xi Xiu's ear, Ye Zhenge said softly: "I still have a secret that I didn't tell you. In fact, I am afraid of suffering. The only medicine that is not bitter in this world is in your mouth..."

Opening the distance again, he smiled slightly and said, "Xi Xiu, do you want to save me?"

Xi Xiu stared blankly at those lips, suddenly felt that the hopeless person was not Ye Zhenge at all, but herself...
