23. The bickering mouth gradually became affectionate
After floating in the water all night, Ripples was extremely nervous mentally and physically, jumping on the raft was the limit, once rescued, the whole person relaxed, and I couldn't think that the person on the raft was his former enemy, a pair of legs were so sore that he couldn't do it, leaning on his legs, the whole person fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found that the whole sky was dark, and Ripple was about to lift the quilt, but found that her palm was wrapped in a thick bandage, and when she got close and smelled it, she could smell the smell of fresh herbs.
Ripple sat up, the last memory was the man's playful face, a little dazed, suddenly thinking of Qiu Tong, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop, and Mother Xu, Qiu Yu and the others almost cried again. Ripples feel sad, but this is a natural disaster, not **, no matter what, it can't be avoided.
Seeing that the house was magnificent, the bedding was clean and comfortable, and knowing that she was still rescued, she was a little comforted in her heart, hoping that Qiu Tong's mother and others could have the same good luck as themselves, and Ripples vaguely remembered that Qiu Tong said that her home was by the river before she was sold, and she only hoped that she was familiar with water and could escape.
Ripple reached out to lift the quilt, and felt that her other hand was being pulled by something, and when she looked down, she saw that a man was lying beside her!
Time passed, back to the fifteen-year-old in the previous life, the pale-faced girl, and the crowd of onlookers who came to hear the news......
"Ah~ah~ah-ah-ah-!!" Ripples scream!
Suddenly he was frightened and stupid, and the whole person rolled out of bed with the quilt, and the wound on his hand that had just been wrapped was about to crack open again, and Ripple subconsciously looked down, only to see that the clothes on his body were still the same as before, and they were worn on himself intact.
I was stunned for a moment and reflected, now that I am dressed in men's clothes, no matter how I look at it, he is a boy who is more than ten years old, and his heart that is about to pop out is about to return to its place, such a big reflection really shouldn't be.
Cheng Junlin opened his sleepy eyes, with bright dark circles on his face, and sat up staggeringly, "In the morning, what are you crazy about!" This man did not sleep all night, because the little boy clung to his sleeve, kept whispering and screaming in his dreams, crackling and shedding tears, and called out to his brother with his eyes closed.
Looking at the boy's blue-gray eyelids, Cheng Junlin's heart softened all of a sudden, and the taste was sour and astringent. Hesitantly spoke, "Good ...... Unafraid...... The elder brother ...... caress the top of the child's head with short and fine hair.
Hearing this, Ripple's frowning brows loosened, gradually quieted down, put his face on his palm, and fell asleep quietly and contentedly.
The night is getting deeper, Cheng Junlin looked at the boy who was almost half lying in his arms at a loss, stiffened half of his body, he had never had such a close posture with people, for a while, he was finally relieved, he was overwhelmed by the boy's shoulder, his face was extremely enlarged in front of his eyes, and the deep and long eyeliner could almost occupy half of his face when he opened it. A pair of distant mountain eyebrows, and a pair of Qiong nose and cherry lips, which is pitiful.
Cheng Junlin fell on the bed with the boy in his arms and said softly: "You really look like my brother, if he can grow up to your age......"
The temperature dropped very low in the middle of the night, the ripples were groggy and shivering, and the feeling of the whole person lying on the snowdrift was soft to the extreme, and to the bone. A pair of cold hands, coldly burrowed into the heat source next to him, on the hot skin, trying his best to be warm.
Cheng Junlin opened his eyes "ho", a cold snake crawled on his chest in his dream, but he saw the boy's hand next to his body, and immediately understood that he was used as a hand stove to warm himself in his sleep, and fell asleep again with a full wry smile.
The little prince of Qinghe Palace, the proud son of the sky who was destined to be born with birth, has never done anything to take care of people, so he can't know that the child next to him is not heating in the middle of the night for no reason, but because of the wound infection, which initiated the fever.
Ripple didn't know how many days he fell asleep, but he felt very good spirits, looked at someone in front of him who looked tired, and said with a disgusted face: "Why did you sleep in my bed?" Hurry up! ”
In the face of her evil voice, Cheng Junlin was stunned, for a long time, he reacted, he was so angry, and said that I was tossed by a little guy like you for several nights without sleep, obviously sleeping in my bed, not only did I not know how to appreciate it, but my tone was so aggressive!
I had a trick in my heart, leaning lazily on the head of the bed, a pair of merry eyes seemed to be smiling, and I didn't move, and I didn't say angrily: "I have taken care of you for a few days and nights, and I can be regarded as half of your benefactor, right?" That's how you talk to your benefactor? ”
"Where can I sleep on my own and be taken care of by you?" Ripple spoke indignantly.
"I don't know who it is, I have to pull my sleeve and cry in the middle of the night, and I won't let go." The young master of the Cheng family smiled and glanced at her.
Ripple looked at the sky, "That must not be me." ”
"Tut-tut, it's really ruthless and unjust, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge......"
"What do you mean...... It's true? ”
"Nature is true."
"Then why am I crying?" Ripples are embarrassed, I haven't cried for a long time, but don't cry for a child or anything.
"What else can it be, just don't leave me!"
"And what about you, how did you answer?"
"It's baby, I'm here!"
"You...... I...... Can you coax me with such a disgusting answer? Where did Ripple choke when he landed, and his phoenix eyes widened, occupying half of his face.
"What are you? As soon as I answered, you stopped crying. Cheng Junlin couldn't hold back a teasing smile at the corner of his lips, and said playfully: "Isn't it all about getting along with each other in the book?" What's more, I like you, a little boy like a flower! ”
"The stories in that book are all made up!" A precursor to nonsense.
"It's also made up from everyday life." The tone of the serious can no longer be serious.
"You !!"
"What am I doing, I, you slept in bed for three or four days, and you stinked to death, if it wasn't for the master, I would have thrown you out a long time ago! You've been seen by me all over your body, what can you do if you don't be my person? Cheng Junlin tried to be real and began to describe the details.
"Poof!" Ripples rolled up from the ground, rolled his eyes, and said, "You really bathed me?" ”
"That's it."
"What do you like most like me, a little man, a child?"
"Nature."
“……”
"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Junlin learned her tone, this kid is really interesting.
"Well, it's okay," Ripple raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was deliberately teasing himself, and roared with pretended disgust: "Two big men, what are you talking about, are you disgusting!" ”
"Flutter!" Cheng Junlin couldn't help it, and finally laughed.

General's Palace.
When the Ye family received the news, the Ye family's grandson was urging his younger brother to endorse the book, Ye Zhixuan pondered for a moment, and said to his younger brother: "Qinghe Wangfu just sent someone to say that their little prince saved the Ye family's grandson in the flood, and our family doesn't have to worry, and we will return to Beijing in the near future." ”
"The grandson of the Ye family? I? Ye Zhizhang was stunned, he hadn't come to the door with such a name for a long time.
He has now grown into a thirteen-year-old boy, his white and slender fingers hold the pen, his brows frown for a moment, but a pair of peach blossom eyes reveal a clear smile, and said: "I know who it is, quickly send someone to the Hou Mansion to report the news, just say that the ripples are fine, and I will return to Beijing in a few days." ”
Ye Zhixuan heard this, but he couldn't understand how his younger brother was so determined, and said lightly: "How do you know it's ripples?" ”
Ye Zhizhang bent a pair of peach blossom eyes, the twelve-year-old boy's eyes were full of memories, and his thin lips lightly opened: "Big brother, you have been absent from Beijing for many years, I don't know that my grandfather is becoming more and more childish now, and in the past few years, he often dressed up as a boy and secretly carried him out of the house to go shopping in the market." ”
Ye Zhixuan never thought that his grandfather, who had always been strict, still had such a naughty child, and couldn't help but say, "Then why do you know that this is a ripple?" ”
"Because-" Ye Zhizhang's face sank for a few days, and finally brought a relaxed smile: "In order not to let my aunt find out, my grandfather always took her out, he wore my clothes, and when he came back, he only said that he would take me to play." ”
This is two children who are two years old, rare in the competition for favor to establish an indelible deep feelings, ripples with the problem of being unable to speak when childhood, cast a spell on the soft heart of the old man, almost to the point of responding to requests, which once made the young Ye family grandson not know how to drink a few bowls of vinegar, however, with the passage of time, over the years, his feelings for the little girl changed from jealousy to sympathy, a boy and a girl, not conducive to his family; One was born stupid and was laughed at stupidly, and the two forged a true mellow friendship in the midst of adversity.
Ye Zhizhang sighed and softened his voice, "She is addicted to pretending to be a boy, and she has to wear my clothes to pull other girls' pigtails at the family banquet, and she only vividly says that her name is Ye Zhizhang, for her, I don't know how many beat......ings my father has beaten."
But I still like her, and I like her lively appearance in private, and the illusion of being gentle and polite in front of adults......
