Chapter 54
Chapter 54
"Yi, are you a little tired?" Finally, everything was over, even though I had thought that it was destined to be a difficult day, but the degree of fatigue was still beyond expectations.
His face was a little pale, which made Yan Haoling blame herself.Knowing his physical condition clearly, she dragged him here to stay with her for a whole day. "It was my negligence. Yi, I ordered someone to boil some hot water for you to soak in, so that you feel better."
Without waiting for his reply, presumably with Yi's personality, he would refuse again.Yan Haoling lifted the curtain and went out to give some instructions. After a while, soldiers came in with wooden barrels, and then brought hot water.
Yan Haoling reached into the bucket, tested the water temperature, and found that it was just right.He turned around and greeted, "Come on, the water will get cold if you don't wash it."
Lie Yi didn't respond, even as if he didn't hear it.This is really quite different from his usual self. Lie Yi is a person who can stay three-point awake even when he sleeps. It is hard to imagine that he will fall into a trance.
Yan Haoling turned her head in a hurry, but only took a look, her heart skipped a beat.But in an instant, his complexion had turned gray again.I don't know if it was because of the darkening sky, I always felt that his whole body was about to be engulfed by light and shadow, and disappeared without a trace.
"Yi." Yan Haoling grabbed his hand suddenly, he couldn't lie to himself in the moment of panic - at that moment, he was indeed really scared.
Having been interrupted from her wandering thoughts, Lie Yi smiled apologetically for the previous lack of focus, and at the same time planned to withdraw the hand that was held.It's good that he didn't move, but it was this movement that aroused Yan Haoling's dissatisfaction again.Despite the previous lessons, he no longer dared to use so much strength, but his movements were still full of stubbornness.
She held his hand in her palm again, she didn't feel it before, but at this moment, Yan Haoling only felt that Lie Yi's fingers were extremely cold, as if carved out of ice.She lowered her head slowly, intending to kiss those cold fingers.It doesn't matter if he is unhappy, he just wants to take this to bring him a little warmth.
Before Lie Yi could react, Yan Haoling had already lowered her face.At the same time, before Lie Yi could understand what he was doing, Yan Haoling stopped her actions again——
A little blood red, dried up traces stained Lie Yi's fingertips.
Not clear, but glaring enough.
Yan Haoling recognized it, it was blood.
Following his gaze, Lie Yi also found that little trace that was not obvious.At that time, I wiped the blood stains from the corners of my mouth with my fingertips, but there was no clean water for washing, so the blood still remained to some extent.I didn't think there was any problem at first, and then I just found a place to wash it, but it happened to be seen by him.
Inevitably, another trouble.
"What's going on?" The strength lost control for a moment, until Lie Yi's palm was clenched pale.After reacting, Yan Haoling felt a little regretful, but was annoyed to find that he didn't really care about the pain.If you care, with his skill, it's easy to break free, instead of letting him continue to hold it like this.
"What's going on? Why are there bloodstains?" Yan Haoling asked again patiently before waiting for an answer.Thinking of something, his face darkened, even worse than Lie Yi's paleness. "Are you vomiting blood again?"
Lie Yi felt a little helpless, he didn't expect that the other party could guess the truth just by opening his mouth casually. "You also know that it's just an old problem." Since it's a chronic disease, there will be outbreaks, so there's nothing strange about it.
It's nothing... nothing to worry about.
Unable to think of the reason for his illness, Yan Haoling could only attribute it to fatigue.He didn't fall asleep peacefully last night, and today he has been tossing from early morning to now. "Be obedient, take a shower quickly, and then rest early." Half forcedly pulled him to the side of the barrel, "Now is not the time to talk about those rules, the body is the most important."
Lie Yi was dumb, because of his word "obedient".However, he was very kind, and he couldn't bear to continue to follow his wishes.And he really wanted to take a good bath, which was indeed a good way to relieve fatigue.
Raising his hand to the collar, Lie Yi was about to unbutton the collar, but saw that Yan Haoling was still in place, and had no intention of leaving at all.It was really inconvenient to say anything, Lie Yi could only gesture with his eyes, but the other party pretended not to see it.
Seeing embarrassment slipping across his handsome face, Yan Haoling couldn't help feeling narrow-minded.The previous anger came and went faster, and he had already left it behind. "Yi, if you don't wash it again, the water will be really cold. Or is it inconvenient for you if I'm here?"
Knowing what to ask - thinking about undressing in front of him, Lie Yi always feels uncomfortable.However, it was impossible to tell where the discomfort was, let alone tell him the reason.Shaking his head, there is nothing to worry about, they are not only men, but also brothers.If he persisted, it would appear that he was too hypocritical.
With a little peace of mind, Lie Yi started to undo the buttons from the collar gradually, one by one...
Yan Haoling couldn't look away, even though he knew that it would be quite rude to stare straight at others undressing to take a bath, but he just couldn't look away.The emotion called "self-control" seemed to have completely disappeared from his body, making him completely unable to control his actions.
From the time when Lie Yi unbuttoned his clothes until he was immersed in the water, Yan Haoling had been watching intently during the whole process.Let those so-called etiquette go to hell, since he can't control himself, let him see enough of the rare opportunity.
After all, Yan Haoling still made a mistake—seeing enough?He can never have enough of a day.Whether it's the illusory face of Lie Yi in front of him, or his real face similar to himself, he can't get enough of it.As long as he is in front of him, he can easily grab his attention.
In fact, most of Lie Yi's body is not underwater, and there is really not much that can be seen, Yan Haoling still can't help lingering over and over again.
His eyebrows, his lips, his neck, his collarbone... Finally, it stopped at the mole at the corner of his eye.
The water vapor was dense, making the mole seem to fall down at any time, causing Yan Haoling's heart to throb for no reason.
Finally retracting her gaze, Yan Haoling knew herself, and understood that if she continued to watch, she would definitely do something irreversible.
Taking a clean cloth towel from the shelf beside him, and walking behind him, Yan Haoling's tone of voice was somewhat hoarse. "The water is cold, it's not good to soak in it any longer, just get up."
Naturally, he doesn't need to remind him what the water temperature is.Lie Yi just wanted to wait for him to leave before he could get up.Unexpectedly, not only did he not leave, but instead he brought a cloth towel, obviously to help him wipe the water.Yan Haoling's status is noble, and the word "serving" is not used in him, but even if it is just helping, Lie Yi finds it difficult to accept.
After pondering for a while, Lie Yi had no choice but to stand up from the water.Yan Haoling made it clear that she wanted to pretend to be a fool to the end, but he couldn't tell the truth.He smiled wryly in his heart, before starting this plan, he never expected that one day he would face such embarrassment and dilemma.
Lie Yi stood up, and the water flowed down along his body, outlining every line even more.It is true that he is not in good health, but it is also true that he is diligent in exercising.Perhaps it is precisely because of his physique that he pays more attention to practicing martial arts to strengthen his body than others.For no other reason, even if it was just to let his cultivation base hang his life, he had no other choice.
At the same time, his cultivation also created the scene Yan Haoling saw at this time.Compared with ordinary martial arts practitioners, Lie Yi is still thinner, but the strength of this body must not be underestimated.Those powers are not explosive and can be seen at a glance.On the contrary, Lie Yi's power is hidden in the lines of his body, just like his soft sword, flexible but deadly.
Yan Haoling didn't know how to describe Lie Yi's body, she just thought it was beautiful.Even though no man would like adjectives like beautiful, he still thinks so-beautiful, very beautiful.
He regretted it a little, why are you begging for nothing to stay?The taste of seeing but not eating is really indescribable.At first I thought it would be enough to just look at it, but I didn't know that it made my heart itchy even more.But at this time, he remembered the kiss in Xuanhui Palace again. He didn't deliberately want to remember the feeling at that time, but the touch left between his lips and teeth, which was so clear that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
It's just that Yan Haoling also understands Lie Yi very well, if he really uses coercive means here regardless of the consequences, I'm afraid he will never see such things as forgiveness again in his life.Besides, they haven't really fought against each other, it's still unknown who is superior and who is inferior, and he doesn't necessarily have a way to force it.
In short, I can't eat it.
Not to mention eating, even touching it is impossible.It's not that Lie Yi is so stingy that he doesn't even allow him to touch it, but that Yan Haoling doesn't dare to.Once it touches his skin-skin, he's afraid that even the last sliver of reason will be thrown into the sky.And at this time his own fingertips are hot, Yan Haoling is worried that he will reveal his ulterior motives.
Pressing the cloth towel in her hand onto Lie Yi's body, Yan Haoling carefully wiped the water drops left on it for him, while being careful not to touch his skin directly.
What a mix of helplessness and eccentricity.
