Chapter 122
Chapter 122
Late at night, Min Liu rode a fast horse with Liu Zikang, who was wrapped up like a ball, out of the North City. Liu Zikang had a bag of pills with various functions in his pocket, and thought that he should not worry about any missions first, but to go back and protect his life first.
The matters concerning the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince have been settled. The progress of the mission has been advanced to 84%. There is nothing urgent to do at the moment. Ni Yangzhou finally slept soundly after a long time.
The north wind outside the tent blew day and night, and the heater inside the tent was not extinguished until midnight.
A figure returned to the tent.
Min Liu was still wearing a thin riding and shooting casual outfit, as if he didn't feel the cold. Even though the lights in the tent had been turned off, he still walked in lightly.
It was quiet in the tent. Even though a patrolling soldier might pass by in a hurry, he did not disturb the man's sweet dream.
Min Liu stood in front of the curtain for a long time, took off the cloth covering his eyes, and waited until he gradually got used to the light inside before slowly walking to the couch.
A bit of cold air came over him. Ni Yangzhou lifted his eyelids with great effort:
"Xiao Liu?"
"Yes, brother, I'm here."
Ni Yangzhou was so sleepy that he couldn't even concentrate. His eyelids seemed to be glued shut. "You're back? Why don't you go to bed?"
In the extremely dim light, the young man knelt in front of the couch like a docile animal:
"Brother, I'm cold."
The person on the couch was wrapped in a quilt, with only half of his slender, white neck exposed. From the jaw upwards, there were thin, blood-red lips and a tall nose. The tip of his nose was slightly to the right, and there was a very light-colored mole.
Min Liu's gaze lingered on the inconspicuous mole for a long time, and finally fell on Ni Yangzhou's closed eyes.
"Well... let me cover you."
Ni Yangzhou was sleeping soundly and was too lazy to open his eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the quilt twice, then grabbed Min Liu's hand and stuffed it into his arms.
The inner clothes could not keep out the cold, and when the ice-like hand touched his chest, Ni Yangzhou gasped in shock at the cold.
"hiss--"
Ni Yangzhou finally woke up, opened his eyes, looked at the thinly dressed Min Liu and said, "Wearing less clothes can increase your cold resistance attribute?"
After the words were spoken, Ni Yangzhou realized that he had slipped up.
"Ahem, no... Xiao Liu, it's cold, you should wear more clothes."
Min Liu did not show any abnormality, but just silently retracted his hand, but was suddenly grabbed by Ni Yangzhou again.
"You..." Ni Yangzhou couldn't bear to see the other party's aggrieved look, and subconsciously pulled his hand back, but he felt that the current situation was inappropriate.
The pair of icy hands moved, like a snake soaked in hot water, and hesitantly moved in.
"!"
Where to touch?
The three words were clenched between his teeth, and Ni Yangzhou forced himself not to say them out loud, as if once he said them out loud, something would develop in a bad direction.
Ni Yangzhou shook the young man's hand away and said angrily, "Go back to your tent and sleep!"
There was an invisible blush on the young man's face:
"Brother, you're so hot."
Ni Yangzhou was so panicked that smoke came out of his head.
"You, you should go back quickly. Don't you have to practice tomorrow morning?"
Min Liu put his head closer and tilted his head: "It's so cold over there, there's only one heater."
Ni Yangzhou squinted his eyes and looked at the exquisite stove that was emitting curling green smoke. He was not so confident to scold people: "Then take this."
Ni Yangzhou half-propped himself up, and the cold wind suddenly penetrated into his inner clothes, making him immediately break out in goose bumps.
"This is warm, cover yourself with it and sleep."
Ni Yangzhou took out the plain cloak with dark blue and gold embroidery from Qiankun's sleeve and held up the collar.
"Brother..." Min Liu looked at the slightly trembling wrist, not knowing what he was thinking, and took the clothes a little slowly.
"I want to sleep with my brother. It was the same when I was a kid."
After this, Ni Yangzhou rubbed his brows with his hands: "You were still young at that time, and we never slept on the same bed."
During the years at the Astronomy Temple, Ni Yangzhou felt sorry for his well-behaved student and was busy all day long. Often, after teaching him some magic, he would let Xiao Liu sleep directly on his couch, while he would meditate and regulate his breathing to spend the night.
“But it’s really cold here.”
Ni Yangzhou suspected that he was blind, otherwise how could he see the young man's red eyes in the dark night.
"you……"
The words of driving them away were never spoken. In the middle of spring in the north, there were still poor and destitute people freezing to death on the streets. Moreover, that expression...
"Come up, don't move."
The young man quickly jumped onto the bed, carried the person inward, and lay down beside the bed. He shook his cloak and covered himself and Ni Yangzhou through the quilt.
"you--"
Ni Yangzhou was wrapped in warmth and soon felt hot, and the words got stuck in his throat. This was indeed much better than the state of having wind blowing into his neck when he fell asleep just now.
Min Liu spoke first: "I won't move, brother, I just want to keep you warm."
Ni Yangzhou was very close to those beautiful phoenix eyes, so close that he seemed to be able to feel the breeze fluttering their eyelashes.
This is not right.
Ni Yangzhou knew.
But when he looked at those eyes that were still sparkling in the night, with red in the corners of the eyes and the tip of the nose, Ni Yangzhou suddenly didn't want to say anything anymore.
It was a quiet, unhurried night.
There is no need to collect herbs, treat illnesses, run around, deal with the prince and queen, or spend the night in the wild. It is a night without worrying about the progress of the mission.
Everything seems to be going in order. I have arranged so much, and now I should be rewarded with a warm and comfortable sleep.
Ni Yangzhou blinked, and his thoughts became slower and slower.
Min Liu watched those eyes slowly close, as if he saw the moon falling into the lake, leaving only a beautiful, sparkling surface of the water.
The young man clasped his arms tighter.
I am hugging my brother. My brother is in my arms now.
This thought went through the young man's mind, and his heart began to warm up.
Min Liu looked at the pair of pale lips, but finally remained motionless and closed his eyes.
My brother will be angry.
Take your time.
Ni Yangzhou was still struggling at first, but he was too sleepy to let go. The wisps of his breath were like sleeping incense, and he gradually calmed down.
Familiar expressions emerge from the corners of memory:
Liu Bei gif: "After fighting all my life, can't I just enjoy myself?"
Just before falling asleep, Ni Yangzhou finally talked himself into believing it was true.
