Yun Yanli looked at her blankly.
His Yaoyao was always strong and brave, and rarely showed such a fragile expression. At least in Yun Yanli's memory, he had never seen Yun Chuyao be afraid of anything or timid.
And now——
Yun Yanli's heart clenched.
He suddenly felt an impulse. He wanted to step forward, hug her, pat her back, comfort her, and then said, Yaoyao, don't be afraid, I will protect you and never let you be hurt again. harm.
And he did.
It's just that Yun Chuyao seemed to be startled and instinctively wanted to hide away. It was Yun Yanli's familiar breath and slightly clumsy movements that gradually calmed her down.
I don't know how much time passed before the panic in Yun Chuyao's heart barely calmed down and her body stopped shaking.
"Seventh, seventh brother."
Only then did she feel embarrassed, and said with a slight blush: "I'm sorry, I was just... a little scared. It's okay. You don't have to worry. In fact, I'm not very afraid of mice."
Yun Yanli blinked, and his slightly confused gaze fell on Yun Chuyao's mouth.
Yun Chuyao's expression froze slightly.
What does he mean?
Do you think I'm being tough?
Fortunately, the night was dark and the two of them couldn't see each other's expressions clearly. Otherwise, it would only be more embarrassing. Yun Chuyao took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said: "It's dead anyway, so I have nothing to be afraid of." It’s time to sleep.”
Finished.
She lay straight on the bed.
Yun Yanli paused and lay down.
This time, Yun Chuyao couldn't sleep at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, she had the illusion that a mouse was lying on her bedside, staring at her dimly. She couldn't help but turn over and whispered softly. He spoke: "...Brother Emperor, are you asleep?"
"No."
Yun Yanli's voice was also very soft.
"First of all, I'm really not afraid of these little things," Yun Chuyao asked quietly, "Secondly, brother, do you think there will be rats in this house?"
Yun Yanli: "..."
"Brother Royal?"
Yun Chuyao glanced at Yun Yanli and asked him in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, why don't you speak?"
"No more," Yun Yanli hesitated, but still said, "You can sleep peacefully. I'll watch it for you. If it dares to show up, I'll beat it to death."
Isn’t this still the case?
Yun Chuyao's heart palpitated, and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over her body. The emotion that was similar to fear but different from fear almost completely swallowed her whole body, giving her goosebumps all over her body.
"Brother Imperial, don't scare me, it will definitely not appear again," she said nervously, suppressing the panic in her heart, "But having said that, rats are still very revengeful. We killed a rat. If the other rats find out, they will definitely want to take revenge. When the time comes..."
She didn't dare to say the next words.
Just thinking about that scene, Yun Chuyao couldn't help but turn pale.
This time she didn't care about face, let alone the defense between men and women. Like a little raccoon slave, she slowly nudged towards the direction of Yun Yanli when no one was paying attention, once, twice... By the fifth blow, she had already reached Yun Yanli's side.
Yun Yanli's figure stiffened slightly.
After a long while, he couldn't help but clumsily put his arm around Yun Chuyao's shoulders and patted her gently: "Don't be afraid."
"It's afraid to come out," he said.
Yun Chuyao was so flustered that she instinctively buried her head in Yun Yanli's arms. She curled up into a small ball and muttered: "It's best if it doesn't come out. If it comes out, it's best." , maybe it will crawl across my face."
As she spoke, she shuddered again.
As soon as Yun Yanli lowered his head, he could see the little girl in his arms and her furry head. For some reason, his heart felt so soft that he couldn't help but rub the back of her head and said, "No. It doesn’t dare to think wildly.”
As he spoke, he paused and added, "And you didn't show your face at all. If a mouse comes, it will just crawl over me."
"hand."
Yun Chuyao became even more panicked and said with a trembling voice: "But my hands are exposed, as well as my shoulders, legs, and feet. They are all exposed. I..."
The thought of rats crawling over her body made Yun Chuyao feel bad and she wished she could shrink into Yun Yanli's arms.
Yun Yanli didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes lit up. He quickly stood up, picked up all the quilts, covered Yun Chuyao's body, and said, "This time the mice can't crawl on you, but... …”
"But what?"
"But if you're afraid of it getting into your quilt, I can help you tuck the quilt tighter."
Get under the quilt!
This is too scary!
Just thinking about it, Yun Chuyao turned pale, nodded hurriedly, and said hurriedly: "Help me, give me a hug."
Yun Yanli was so soft-hearted, how could he be willing to refuse her? He quickly stretched out his hand, carefully hugged his little girl through the thin quilt, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it can't touch you this time."
After saying that, he asked again: "Is it hot?"
Hot for sure.
It's such a hot day, and even if you have a quilt covering your body, who wouldn't be hot if you leave it alone? However, Yun Chuyao would never admit it. She quickly shook her head and said, "It's not hot. It's just the right time. Brother Emperor, don't worry."
"As long as it's not hot."
Yun Yanli lowered his eyes, looked at the little girl's pink and tender face, pursed his lips, suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Go to bed early."
Yun Chuyao nodded obediently.
After a while, her voice rang again: "Brother Emperor, when we return to the palace, if anyone asks..."
"I know."
Yun Yanli interrupted.
This was the first time that he interrupted her and said that he didn't regret it at all. This was a lie, but he really felt uncomfortable in his heart. For a moment, he even doubted the words of the saint!
Why do we have to have a male and female defense?
Yaoyao is his sister and his favorite person. He just wants to hug her, so why not? Why can't you admit it? Why do you have to lie?
This world is so weird.
It was so strange that Yun Yanli felt a bit of rage rising in his heart, inexplicably wanting to tear it apart and break through it.
But now he can only bow his head.
"I won't talk nonsense," he heard himself say.
Yun Chuyao raised her head and looked at him, but she didn't see any dissatisfaction on his face. She naturally didn't think too much, pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Then it's settled, let's not talk nonsense. "
Yun Yanli's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Yun Chuyao didn't notice his expression. Seeing that he responded, she felt relieved and said, "Brother, you should go to bed early. If you don't sleep, it will be dawn."
"good sleep."
He spoke softly.
Yun Chuyao also closed her eyes.
