"Your emotions are very unstable right now."
Gu Xinglan calmly offered a reminder.
The boy on the shore had bloodshot eyes and a slightly ferocious expression. Blood was still dripping from the part of his fingertip where he was drawing the bowstring, whether from being stabbed by the arrow or from being cut while drawing the bow.
With a few splashes in the water, Gu Xinglan climbed ashore.
The hot wind carried a dampness, and although I didn't feel cold, I still had an extra layer of clothing on my back.
It was the shirt he had just taken off.
Li Hetai also brought it to him...
The two people walked into the room from the passageway, one after the other.
Li Hetai's room was a bit messy, with scattered paintings and various clothes, and the glass sliding doors of the bookshelves were covered with a layer of dust.
The dark tones swallowed everything.
When Gu Xinglan turned on the light, Li Hetai still covered his eyes awkwardly, as if he hadn't turned on the room light in a long time.
"Is your hand injured? Let me bandage it for you." Gu Xinglan opened the first-aid kit.
The box was empty except for some leftover bandages and a dirty pair of scissors.
When he could no longer find any wound medicine, he turned to look at Li Hetai, who was already asleep in bed.
System: [The target's emotions have been fluctuating greatly these past few days, and your survival time has been increasing exponentially.]
The fact that this kid can intimidate him says it all, doesn't it? Before, they just ignored him.
Gu Xinglan pulled up her clothes and sniffed, but didn't smell anything strange.
My body felt sticky, as I had just been wet and was now being dried by my body heat, but I still had a muddy smell.
After spending half an hour tinkering in the bathroom, Gu Xinglan came out comfortably and stretched her back after showering and brushing her teeth.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed an unexpected person in the room.
Li Taihe stood by the bed, his line of sight directly above Li Hetai on the bed.
Seeing him come out of the bathroom, Li Taihe turned his head slightly and walked over with his clothes.
"Take a bath?" Gu Xinglan asked, her eyes lowered.
Li Taihe didn't say much and opened the bathroom door.
The man exuded an aura of listlessness that was difficult to detect.
The moment the door closed behind him, Gu Xing couldn't help but look over.
Did Li Taihe go to a small room to watch a dangerous action movie?
System: [You've seen it too, quite a lot.]
"..." Gu Xinglan coughed inwardly.
-
The sound of running water and squeezing shower gel came from the bathroom.
Gu Xinglan stood at the door, her hand already on the doorknob.
He didn't expect Li Taihe to appear here. Would this person lock him up underground again?
He should find a place to hide now. Song Zhengsi is in the backyard, and the wooden house can also provide shelter for him.
only……
Li Hetai was sleeping restlessly on the bed, his features scrunched up, and even his sleeping posture was extremely uneasy, curled up, which made Gu Xinglan sigh.
System: [You should leave now. The target might wake up and find out you've broken your promise again, and might even take a weapon to his wicked stepmother.]
"Haven't you changed your mind too quickly?"
System: [If you can't be a wicked stepmother, you can be a gentle stepfather. If you miss the past and want to complete the wicked stepmother role-playing mission... actually, that's possible. As long as the woman currently playing the wicked stepmother dies early, the host will naturally take her place.]
"..." Gu Xinglan immediately threw off the covers and crawled into bed.
The air conditioner was blowing too cold air, and the bed was freezing cold, like an ice cave, especially in Lihetai.
Instead of falling asleep, Gu Xinglan's mind became even clearer after she crawled inside.
With a creak, the bathroom door was pulled open.
Li Taihe, barely managing to wrap himself in a bath towel, sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of hot water.
The stripes on the water glass reflected the two people huddled together on the bed, but neither of them slept soundly.
He was about to leave when Li Taihe looked thoughtfully at the large empty space on the left side of the bed, as if it were inviting him to stay.
Strange thoughts slowly surfaced.
When Li Huiwen brought the clothes up, what she saw was Li Taihe lifting the blanket and lying down.
"President Li?"
“I’ll sleep here tonight.” Li Taihe’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing that he looked really sleepy, Li Huiwen didn't ask any further questions and put the clothes on the sofa.
"I'll have your car ready at five o'clock tomorrow." With that, Li Huiwen turned and left.
When the door was closed, three heads could be clearly seen sticking out from the bed.
Bed.
Gu Xinglan had noticed the movement as soon as Li Taihe got into bed, but she didn't dare to open her eyes.
Is Li Taihe sleeping here?
Incredibly, the other party even tucked them in.
The other person's fingertips touched my shoulder, and the temperature was incredibly hot.
The boy who was originally in his arms gradually shrank to the left, to a warmer spot.
The coldness of Li Hetai was gone, and she instantly felt warm.
The heat was pervasive, constantly emanating from the far left.
As sleepiness gradually returned, Gu Xinglan yawned and drifted off to sleep with her eyes closed.
-
At five o'clock, before dawn, there were already birds chirping outside the window.
The warmth, the pervasive warmth, was so intense that he didn't even want to get up.
No, it's summer now, not winter. The temperature, which used to be so hot it made you dizzy, is now just at the perfect level for sleeping.
Li Hetai suddenly raised his eyelids and stared blankly at the person in front of him.
It was Gu Xinglan.
The person sleeping face up has smooth profile lines, long eyelashes gently drooping down, a few strands of fine hair falling smoothly on their cheeks, and slightly reddened ears.
He has done enough of this kind of dreamlike scene in the past year and a half.
And there were sounds coming from behind.
Li Hetai's breathing remained steady throughout, and his eyes were slightly open.
When the person beside me got off the bed, the temperature dropped by more than half, and I couldn't hear any footsteps, only the faint sound of clothes rustling.
Li Taihe stood next to the sofa, picked up the shirt, and slowly buttoned it up. The light and smooth fabric was tightly sewn on his broad shoulders as soon as it was covered. The person wearing the shirt moved gracefully. When he bent down to pick up his trousers, his waistline was faintly visible. His back muscles were taut and his lines were distinct.
Seeing that the person on the bed had woken up, Li Taihe's fingers paused briefly at his collar before he calmly straightened his tie.
Gu Xinglan needed to urinate and wanted to go to the toilet, but she didn't expect Li Taihe to wake up so early.
The clock on the wall showed a little past five o'clock, meaning the other person had only slept for four hours. Gu Xinglan quickly got out of bed and ran into the bathroom.
When they came out again, the room was empty of men; in their place was Li Hetai.
Li Hetai sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring at the school uniform on the clothes rack, lost in thought.
When he walked over, the other person didn't move.
"Do you want to go to school?" Gu Xinglan asked groggily as she shrank back into bed.
Unable to get an answer, Gu Xinglan stopped asking and closed her eyes to sleep again.
As the sun rose, the temperature gradually increased, and Gu Xinglan was already feeling a bit hot. She threw off the covers, and the cool air from the air conditioner felt very comfortable, so she couldn't help but drift off into a deep sleep.
The person in bed finally opened their eyes when hunger replaced sleepiness.
The first thing I saw was Li Hetai, who was also fast asleep next to me.
"Master, are you awake?"
There was a knock on the door.
The banging continued, as if it wouldn't stop until the door was opened.
Outside.
Hong Liang had a sullen face, with dark circles under his eyes and a dark complexion.
I knocked for two minutes straight.
Just as they were about to kick down the door.
Unexpectedly... the door opened.
Hong Liang's hand, which was knocking on the door, froze in place.
