Xie Huaizhi's face felt slightly hot, and he hurriedly pulled down the quilt a little. He wanted to cover it up, but it was really cold and it felt awkward to cover him up.
He lay there alone and struggled for a while, and fell asleep in a daze.
Nightmares kept coming, and Xie Huaizhi felt like he was trapped in a place where he couldn't see his fingers. All kinds of sinister curses sounded from all directions, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.
The bizarre dream had no clue, and it jumped to the next scene after a while.
He didn't know what he was dreaming about. He suddenly woke up from his dream and sat upright. The cave was filled with the sound of his rapid breathing.
Soon, a very light footsteps sounded from far to near.
A bean light also lit up, bit by bit dispelling the maggot-like darkness of the tarsal bones.
He raised his eyes and saw that the bed curtain was lifted from the outside, and that ray of light broke in so forcefully, illuminating his pale face and the worry in Lou Jinhuan's eyes.
"Have a nightmare?"
Xie Huaizhi nodded blankly, cold sweat rolling down his forehead.
Lou Jinhuan took out the handkerchief and handed it to him, "Wipe it."
Not knowing what to think, Xie Huaizhi said hoarsely: "I have no strength."
Lou Jinhuan was silent for a moment, then placed the lampstand on the bedside cabinet. She sat down beside the bed, raised his chin with one hand, and carefully wiped his sweat with a handkerchief in the other.
At such a close distance, Lou Jinhuan's smell surrounded him tightly. He should be disgusted. He hated people getting close to him the most, but at this moment, he smelled a trace of peace of mind from this smell.
She twitched her lips from an angle that Lou Jinhuan couldn't see, An Xin? He may be crazy.
No matter how much he cursed himself in his heart, his body remained very still, allowing Lou Jinhuan to touch his face.
"Okay." Lou Jinhuan was about to stand up, but Xie Huai grabbed her sleeve without thinking, "Huh?" She looked at him doubtfully.
Xie Huaizhi wanted to give himself two big words, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "It's too cold in bed. I'm afraid of the dark. Can you stay?"
[Hey, hey, hey, are you afraid of the dark? You'd better be really afraid of the dark. 】
[Pointing at me, if you want to sleep with someone, just say so. The bed is too cold, so why don't you go sleep on the beauty's couch outside? 】
[Front, can you leave some underwear for the male protagonist? Stop it, are you going to cry if you don’t even look at the child? 】
There was a lot of ridicule on the barrage, but fortunately Xie Huaizhi couldn't see it.
He endured the embarrassment and asked again, "Is that okay?"
Lou Jinhuan didn't say anything. She looked at Xie Huaizhi intently, put down her handkerchief and sat down at the end of the bed, "Go to sleep, I'll be here with you."
Xie Huaizhi moved his lips, but Lou Jinhuan had already closed his eyes, so he said nothing more.
After lying down and pulling up the quilt, he quietly glanced at Lou Jinhuan. Seeing that she was still there, he felt a little at ease, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
This time, I don't know if it was because of Lou Jinhuan's presence, but Xie Huaizhi really didn't have any more nightmares and slept until dawn.
…
In the next few days, Lou Jinhuan had food delivered to him on time during the day. After Xie Huaizhi finished eating, she gave him medicine and then went to practice. At night, Xie Huaizhi slept on the ice bed, and Lou Jinhuan sat at the end of the bed to practice. The days were passed. Plain but warm.
Xie Huaizhi's activities within the Loujin Huandong Mansion are still unrestricted. He goes out for a walk when he has nothing to do.
Everyone's cave is independent, so it seems particularly quiet.
There was a stream behind the cave, and there was a big stone beside it. It was noon, and the stone was warmed by the sun. He sat on it, took off his shoes and socks, soaked his feet in the stream, and stretched his body comfortably. .
As expected of the Jade Hui Sect, the treasure land of the Immortal Mountain is full of spiritual energy. He stayed here for a few days and felt at peace in his heart.
However, his cultivation progress was extremely slow.
He obviously memorized all the mental techniques, but it was difficult to bring the spirit into his body.
Thinking of this, he opened his eyes irritably, "Am I really born useless?"
But every time the thought came up, a voice from somewhere told him that no, he was very strong.
"Where is the strength?" He sneered, grabbed a stone on the side and threw it into the stream. The fish was so surprised that it swung its tail and left quickly.
He stared at the ripples on the water for a few times, and suddenly felt dizzy. He couldn't hold on, and accidentally fell into the stream.
Warm water poured into his mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation made him wake up suddenly. He struggled to go up, but a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.
Many years ago, when he was very young, he seemed to be pushed into the water like this and tried to drown him. He struggled hard, and then...
"Thank you Huaizhi? Thank you Huaizhi!"
Lou Jinhuan's voice came, and soon a whip reached into the water and wrapped around his waist, pulling him up.
"Are you okay? Why did you fall into the water?"
Lou Jinhuan put him on the grass.
Xie Huaizhi slowly opened his eyes and suddenly laughed when he saw the familiar face.
Lou Jinhuan was in shock and couldn't help but patted him, "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Huaizhi wiped his face, revealing his plump and smooth forehead. There was a light in his eyes that Lou Jinhuan couldn't understand. He said, "I was playing with the fish just now, but my foot slipped and it fell."
Lou Jinhuan: "..."
You still have the nerve to smile.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to say this? A cultivator slipped and fell into the water and almost drowned?
Reading the emotions in her eyes, Xie Huaizhi smiled even happier.
He suddenly took Lou Jinhuan's hand and whispered: "I will be careful next time, don't be angry."
Lou Jinhuan couldn't do anything to him, "I'm not angry."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"real."
"Prove it to me."
Lou Jinhuan raised his eyebrows: "How to prove it?"
Xie Huaizhi opened his arms and looked at her expectantly: "Hug me."
Lou Jinhuan: "?"
Is this really crazy? Why are you still acting coquettishly?
Xie Huaizhi raised his hands insistently, with a posture of "I won't get up if you don't hug me."
Lou Jinhuan was silent for a moment, then leaned down and hugged him.
Even if he was wet and would wet her expensive dress, she didn't care.
Xie Huaizhi's heart moved. Looking at the dazzling sunshine, he felt satisfied in his heart.
You saved me again, I am happy.
…
After hugging him for a while, Lou Jinhuan took him back to the cave. He took a shower and put on clean clothes. He only felt relieved after making sure he was not injured.
From here on, Lou Jinhuan got him a bead and asked him to wear it. If he was in danger, crush it hard and she would appear immediately.
Xie Huaizhi strung the beads together with a rope and hung them around his neck, then wandered outside as usual.
Lou Jinhuan also indulged him, as long as he didn't cause trouble.
Anyway, his favorability level has steadily increased during this period, from 20 to 35, which can be said to be a rapid improvement.
…
That night, Lou Jinhuan was sitting at the end of the bed meditating as usual, but Xie Huaizhi suddenly said: "Jinhuan, can you lie down with me for a while? I'm a little scared."
Haha, you are so scared
