MTL - Warm Fuzzies-Chapter 92
Zi Lan stared blankly at Xue Li feeding the medicine to his mouth. He could meet Xue Li's clear eyes and smell the elegant scent of herbs on her body.
Zi Lan unconsciously took a sip, but immediately blushed.
There was a light red color on the tips of his ears, and he was embarrassed to let Xue Li feed him again, so he dodged slightly, took the initiative to get the spoon, and said, "I'll do it myself."
Seeing that he had the strength to hold the spoon by himself, Xueli didn't insist, and handed the bowl to him neatly and said, "Okay, then you can eat by yourself."
Zilan: "..."
Zilan took the bowl and spoon obediently, and drank it one mouthful at a time.
He fell asleep for such a long time in the room with so many stoves, and he really felt his mouth was dry, his throat was so dry that it was burning, and even the medicine for nourishing his body felt moist and sweet. Sydney didn't know what was used in the medicinal soup. The medicinal soup had a refreshing taste, slightly bitter but not unpalatable.
Zi Lan went to glance at Xue Li, but saw her happily sitting on the head of the bed, wagging her tail unconsciously while watching him drink the medicine.
Zilan was shy facing Xueli, his eyes flickered, and then he asked as calmly as possible: "Have you been here with me all this time?"
"Ok!"
Xueli nodded, and said at the same time: "You have been asleep for three days. I, the wolf king and wolf queen, and several medical immortals are all looking after you, but most of the time they are on shifts."
"thanks."
When Zi Lan heard that Xue Li had been guarding him here, she couldn't help but feel moved.
He paused for a moment, then asked gently: "When will I be able to leave the house?"
Sydney said: "Don't worry, you can take a good rest for two days."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Zilan was sweating profusely, and she couldn't help asking: "Are you still hot? Why don't you turn off the stove again?"
In this season, a small heater is actually more than enough. Even the winter in the Immortal Realm is not so harsh. Putting so many **** stoves is really overkill.
However, Zi Lan calmed down, shook her head and said, "No, it's fine as it is."
He is obsessed with this kind of heat, which he did not have in his past life, and he cherishes it even if it is uncomfortable.
He turned his head and looked at the red cauldron in the room with a dazed expression.
However, Sydney saw what he was thinking, and persuaded: "Don't be too nervous, there will be many warm days in the future, not only today's."
Saying that, Sydney wiped the sweat from her forehead slightly.
Zilan immediately realized that not only he was hot, but Sydney was also heating with him, and immediately regretted that he didn't turn down the stove immediately, and was immediately persuaded by Sydney, and quickly changed her words: "Then turn off the stove , as in the other houses."
Xue Li didn't quite agree with this decision either: "But you still have a little bit of residual coldness in your body, and you are still different from ordinary people at the moment."
Zilan shook her head: "It's okay, I want to get used to it in advance."
Xueli thought about it, and thought that there should be nothing serious, so she dragged her tail and asked the wolf officer to help remove the stove.
When Xueli came back, Zilan had consciously finished the medicine.
Xueli went to collect the bowl, Zilan didn't have the nerve to bother her in every possible way, and wanted to avoid getting up to put it away by himself, but he just brushed Xueli's fingertips when he moved, and he froze all of a sudden.
As soon as Zilan stretched out her hand to grab Xueli's hand, as if she had touched something inconceivable, she was lost in thought for a moment, and said in a slow voice unconsciously: "...so warm."
It's never been like this before, just touching someone's skin feels extremely warm. He could also feel the temperature on Xueli's body before, but it had never been so vivid like this moment.
After a while, Zilan suddenly realized that he had grabbed Xue Li's hand, which was a bit abrupt and impolite just now.
Sydney's hands were a little smaller than his, with delicate skin and cutely manicured nails, one could tell it was a girl's hand by touching it.
Zilan let go of her in a panic and said, "I'm sorry."
Xueli was caught by Zilan's hand all of a sudden, and her heart beat violently.
Her heart was still beating wildly at this moment, she hurriedly retracted her hand, placed it on her chest, and shook her head: "It's okay."
After a pause, she said shyly again: "I'll call the wolf king and wolf queen to come over!"
After speaking, Sydney turned around and ran away.
When Xueli ran out of the room, Zilan also looked at her hand in a daze, and unconsciously closed her fingers again, recalling the tactile sensation just now.
This time it was not because of the temperature, but because of the closeness of the skin at that moment.
…
A few days later, Zilan was allowed to go outside for a walk with Sydney's consent.
Zilan has not fully recovered yet, because the effect of expelling the cold evil is too great, and there is still a small amount of lingering cold in his body. At present, he can only walk outside the house, and his range of activities is even smaller than before. Of course, it is only temporary. However, even if it was just that, Zilan could clearly feel the difference.
Now it's the twelfth lunar month, and Bai Xue has thrown all over the ground in front of the house. If usual, now is the most difficult time for Zilan to go out. Just opening the window occasionally will feel biting.
But now, although he also feels cold, this bit of coldness to him is like two fire cauldrons being extinguished in the house in the past. It is far less cold than the winter in his memory. It's spring.
When he left the house, he still tried not to wear the white fur, but it was Xue Li who held him back and forced the fur coat on him.
"It's cold outside now. Even if you don't suffer from cold, normal people still have to wear furs when they go out."
Sydney warned.
She herself did wear a thick cloak.
Seeing this, Zilan didn't insist anymore.
Just out of the house, the two stood on the porch watching the snow together. He felt that the cold was completely tolerable, but Xue Li was shivering from the cold because she went from the warm room to the icy and snowy outdoors, and she shrank pitifully in her cloak. , The ears are also attached to the hair.
After thinking about it, Zilan took off her white fur and wrapped it around Xueli.
Xueli was smaller than him, Zilan's fur coat wrapped her body, even though Xueli was still wearing a thick cloak, it still almost covered her whole body, Xueli was wrapped in fluff, only The rest of the head was still outside the fur coat.
Zilan's white fur is specially made, and it is far warmer than ordinary robes. What's more, he has been wearing it for so long.
But when she asked a patient to give her the clothes, Xueli panicked when she put them on, and looked up at Zilan, wanting to return the fur clothes to him.
However, as soon as Xueli looked up, she saw Zilan take out a delicate wooden box from her sleeve.
"This is for you."
Zilan said.
He spoke nervously.
This was originally the time when Sydney gave him Yanshu leaves a long time ago, because Sydney gave him a sachet made by herself, and he wanted to give it to Sydney as a return gift.
Zilan originally planned to give her this long-lasting gift when she gave Sydney peaches and herbs, but he couldn't choose right and left. Because Sydney’s sachets were made by himself, he originally wanted to make something for Sydney as a gift, but he found it clumsy and failed several times in a row. In the end, he specially invited craftsmen to make it, and the craftsmen didn’t finish the work until yesterday. Sneakily found a place and delivered it to him when no one was around.
As a result, herbs and peaches have been sent to Sydney several times, but this most thoughtful return gift has been delayed until now.
This is a rather exquisite small wooden box, made of fragrant wood, carved with flowers and trees, embellished with pearls and jade, it has a pleasant fragrance in the hand.
Xueli was startled when she saw such a box, opened it and found a comb inside.
Made of spiritual wood, the comb has distinct teeth. The body of the comb is carved into the shape of a nine-tailed fox. The fox is lying down, and the nine tails stretch out like flowing clouds. The carving is extremely exquisite. There are also various spices under it, and you can smell a light fragrance when you take it out.
Sydney was very surprised to get such an elegant gift, and she couldn't put it down.
She was surprised and asked, "Why did you suddenly send me off?"
Seeing that Xueli likes it, Zilan is more than half relieved, and just said, "It's fine if you like it."
He kept the sachet that Sydney gave him very carefully, but the days of gifting sachets have passed so long, I'm afraid it will be strange to talk about it now.
Seeing Sydney's joyful appearance, he already felt extremely satisfied.
The two walked in the snow for a while, and when it was about Shen, Xueli said apologetically: "Wuwu, I am still learning fairy language with my husband, and it is almost time to go to attend the lecture."
After a short pause, she picked up the box and showed it to Zilan, saying, "I like this very much! I will definitely cherish it."
Sydney's general fairy language is much better than before, and it is already very fluent, but there are still many details to be refined. The wolf fairy language is getting better and better. A few wolf officials who can only speak the wolf fairy language I was also able to talk to Sydney gradually. Although it is not her professional medical skill, this course is quite important to Sydney, and she is quite interested.
Seeing that Xueli was really happy to receive the gift, even his face was flushed red, Zilan also felt throbbing. Naturally, Zilan could understand, and said, "Okay."
Xueli wanted to untie the fur coat and return it to him.
Zilan stopped and said, "No need, you can wear it."
Xueli was dazed for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Am I wearing your clothes to class?"
Zilan was taken aback.
He was a little bit overwhelmed by Xueli's question, and it was fine for the two of them to stay together in private, but if Xueli was really walking around in his fur coat, it would seem too intimate, even a married couple Not too often.
Zilan's cheeks were on fire.
Xue Li shyly took off his white fur and returned it to him. Between these two sentences, the two suddenly became more ambiguous than ever before, and they were both a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Xueli handed the fur coat to Zilan, tiptoed uncomfortably, and said, "Then I'll go there!"
"it is good."
Zilan nodded hurriedly, but didn't know where to set her eyes on Xue Li.
Because of this short episode, both of them couldn't care about the cold anymore. After Xue Li took off her fur coat and wrapped her cape, she ran away quickly, not even paying attention to the cold wind blowing past her ears.
She ran all the way to the Xiandian where she was teaching.
In fact, after taking off Zilan's white fur, Sydney really felt a little cold, but fortunately, the place where the lectures were not far from their residence, just a few steps away, as soon as Sydney entered the room, she felt the charcoal fire again warmth.
The gentleman is already here, and Sydney hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm late."
"it's okay no problem."
The gentleman is a very kind wolf fairy, dressed as a scholar, with a half-length beard, and smiled gently when he saw Xue Li come in.
She was the only one seated in the room, and Xue Li sat down in her middle seat.
She really liked the comb that Zilan gave her, and she didn't want to put it down immediately when she got into the house, and even held the box in her hand to play with.
Seeing Sydney playing with the box, the husband asked curiously, "What is this?"
Xueli replied happily: "The comb was just given to me by Zilan."
"A gift from the young master?"
Hearing that Fairy Sydney actually received a gift from the young master, the husband was not surprised, but seeing Xue Li's reddish side face and the expression of uncontrollable joy when she looked at the wooden box, she couldn't help but understand it.
The gentleman stroked his beard, but smiled lightly.
He thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, Fairy Xueli has learned the fairy language well now. I happen to have some content here. I want to ask if Fairy has read it and can you understand it?"
As he said that, the gentleman didn't start writing, but directly took a few pieces of paper, printed the handwriting on the paper with immortal energy, and handed it to Sydney to read.
Sydney took the paper in bewilderment, thinking that her husband was going to test her as usual, so she opened her mouth to read.
Mr. quickly stopped her and said, "You don't need to read it out, just read it."
Xueli looked at the paper in confusion, and saw that the words on the paper did not seem to be the handwriting that her husband usually annotated for her, but rather Zilan's handwriting, but Zilan was not here at the moment, and the husband specially used Zilan's handwriting. What do you write to her in handwriting?
The content on the paper is also intermittent, not a complete sentence.
You are like Qingxue.
The moonlight chases the clouds and shadows.
I won't see you for a day.
These are the fragments that Zilan wrote in the love letter at that time. It is not good for the husband to give her the complete content. It is meaningless for outsiders to point out this kind of matter between the young couple, so they have to use this method to test it.
But Sydney hadn't read the complete letter, and only saw this intermittent content, so she naturally felt confused and couldn't see the clue.
Sydney replied truthfully: "I can understand the general meaning, but I have never seen a similar sentence before, and I can't understand if there is any deep meaning in it... Is this an allusion? How about I explain the general meaning, sir Listen to see if there is anything wrong?"
"No need."
The husband handed the paper to her with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before. You can take these back and study them carefully. It doesn't matter if you take your time."
