There is a saying called "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse".

Although when he was in the Wei family's courtyard before, the mountain that Wei Lai pointed to was not far away, but it was really not close to the mountain, and even if he was riding a horse, he had to run for a long time.

Probably because there have been several snowfalls in the past two days, although it looks like those snowflakes haven't been able to accumulate, but the weather is really cold. Wei Lai could see the ice on the eaves this morning, and there was naturally some ice on the ground at this moment, which made it even more difficult to walk, even Wei Lai's horse walked carefully, and almost all the way was just a trot.

There was a cold wind blowing in his face, Wei Lai didn't feel very cold, after all, he was a person who had survived even the severe cold in Beizhou, and this little cold wind in the south was really nothing in Wei Lai's eyes. Until she felt the hand around her waist and shrank slightly.

After all, she is a pampered eldest lady, and He Zhi is naturally not as frost-resistant as Wei Lai. Along the way, although Wei Lai deliberately blocked the wind for her, in such a cold weather, her exposed hands were still frozen early. At first, she endured it, but after a little time, she couldn't help but subconsciously retract her hand.

He Zhi's movements were not big, but Wei Lai was a keen person, and at this moment, most of her attention was on He Zhi behind her, so this little action naturally couldn't hide from her eyes - as soon as He Zhi moved, she also guessed the reason.

Wei Lai looked down and found that He Zhi's originally white and beautiful hands had been frozen red for some time. If this pampered hand is blown down by this cold wind, I am afraid that it will be frostbitten.

There was an unconsciously painful pain in his heart, Wei Lai didn't think much about it, so he let go of the hand holding the reins and held it. As soon as the two hands touched, I felt a biting chill coming, and it felt no better than touching the ice directly. This made Wei Lai frown slightly, and complained: "It's all frozen like this, why don't you say it?!" ”

Wei Lai said as he held He Zhi's hand to help her keep warm, but after waiting for a while, he felt that it had no effect. He Zhi's still cold hand deepened the wrinkles between her eyebrows again, and after thinking about it, she simply pulled He Zhi's hand forward, and then took her hand directly into her arms.

"Eh......" He Zhi was pulled forward by Wei Lai's sudden movements, and the slight distance she had tried to maintain disappeared in an instant, and she threw herself on Wei Lai's back defenselessly.

He Zhi was actually a little stubborn, so when Wei Lai frowned and complained before, she just bit her lip and didn't reply. After that, Wei Lai took his hand to warm her, and she also wanted to refuse, but when the cold hand that was about to lose consciousness touched the warmth, she was reluctant to break free and reluctant to refuse. I just didn't expect it......

In this cold winter, Wei Lai's whole person is like a small stove, and the heat in his body seems to be inexhaustible. Her hand holding the reins exposed to the cold wind was still warm, and the arms covered by the thick cotton clothes were naturally warmer, and it couldn't be better for warmth. It's just that at the moment when she stuffed He Zhi's cold hand into her arms, Miss He froze.

He Zhi had to admit that Wei Lai's arms were very warm. The temperature came from her hands, and even gave her the illusion that not only her hands, but also the body she involuntarily hugged tightly was also exuding heat, and the heat even dispelled all the cold around her, making her whole body warm.

But even so, He Zhi still felt embarrassed. Her body stiffened for a moment, leaving behind the vague reluctance in her heart, and struggling slightly. He wanted to take his hand out of Wei Lai's arms, and wanted to sit up straight again, keeping even a slight distance from the person in front of him.

Wei Lai naturally felt it, so he simply took out a hand and covered it on the outside of his clothes, and pressed He Zhi's hand firmly in his arms: "Don't make trouble, it's very cold outside, don't go back and get sick again after a trip, that's my fault." ”

"You...... You let go! Sticking to Wei Lai's back, He Zhi's face was already flushed.

Because of Wei Lai's pressing action, He Zhi's hand inevitably touched Wei Lai's waist and abdomen. This person is not afraid of the cold because of his good body, and he doesn't wear much in this cold day, although he is wrapped in a thick cotton coat outside, he is actually only wearing a thin middle coat inside. He Zhi's hand had just been stuffed into her arms when she had already noticed it, which is why she was so embarrassed.

At this moment, He Zhi's hand was tightly attached to Wei Lai's waist and abdomen through the thin layer of fabric. The temperature on Wei Lai's body continued to spread to He Zhi's hand through that layer of fabric, but after a moment, her cold hand warmed up. And under the palm of the hand that restores the senses, the sense of touch is also regained again.

Wei Lai's waist and abdomen are flat, and the muscles around his waist are tight and powerful, which is completely different from the soft and delicate of ordinary women. Even if it was just quietly covered on it, He Zhi seemed to be able to feel the power contained in it—this was the person who came out of the baptism of war, and it was really different from the women who grew up in the boudoir.

He Zhi's face had turned red unconsciously, although she didn't know why she was embarrassed like this. Wei Lai is a woman, she already knew this, so there is no such thing as a man and a woman giving or receiving kisses, and although it is a bit rude to put her hand in each other's arms to keep warm, it is not out of place if the relationship between women is good. If it was Feng Yuqing who did this today, not only would she not be polite, but she would be able to laugh a few words, but it would be Wei Lai......

He Zhi tried to break free again, but the gap in strength was vividly revealed at this time. Wei Lai didn't let go, she couldn't pull out her hand at all, and in the end, she could only repeat the words "you let go" again and again.

Wei Lai didn't seem to notice He Zhi's embarrassment, and let the other party struggle, but she was in a good mood. She didn't respond out loud, let alone look back at He Zhi's embarrassing situation, but the corners of her mouth were silently raised all the way, and her hands were even more determined and never relaxed. Even the horses under him seemed to sense the good mood of their masters, and they ran vigorously with brisk steps.

This situation lasted for a while, and in such a cold weather, He Zhi's forehead even soaked a little sweat. Then suddenly, the movements of the two people were frozen, and there was no other sound around them except for the sound of the horse's hooves, and even the cold wind howling in their ears and the sound of the two people breathing seemed to stop at this moment.

Wei Lai stiffened his face and lowered his head, and then gradually, starting from his neck, his whole face turned red......

Through the thick cotton clothes, although it is not obvious, it can be vaguely seen that the position of the hands that were originally carried by Wei Lai in his arms has changed. The bulge on the cotton coat moved up slightly by half a foot, so the hand that should have covered the waist and abdomen, because of He Zhi's struggle and Wei Lai's carelessness, fell squarely on his chest.

Under the palm of his hand, the soft touch was completely different from the tightness of his waist, He Zhi was stunned for a moment before reacting, she seemed to have touched something that should not be touched? The fair-skinned cheeks quickly flushed, and the hand subconsciously pulled back again - this time because of Wei Lai's distraction, He Zhi finally succeeded in taking his hand back, but the embarrassment did not decrease but increased.

In the silence and embarrassment, He Zhi put her hand back into her fox fur cloak, and didn't even pull the corner of Wei Lai's clothes. She opened her eyes slightly, and the mess in her head made her a little afraid that Wei Lai would suddenly turn back, but under the cloak that no one could see, a pair of slender jade hands had already been tangled together.

Wei Lai didn't look back, even if her straight back was stiff to the point of not looking, even if the roots of her ears exposed to He Zhi's eyes were so red that they were about to drip blood, she still didn't look back.

Regarding Wei Lai's reaction, He Zhi didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more embarrassed. It wasn't until a long time later that Wei Lai suddenly spoke: "Stretch out your hand and hold on, we're going up the mountain." ”

Wei Lai's voice was very calm, with an inexplicable calming power, which made He Zhi's flustered heart gradually calm down. She obediently took her hand out of the fox fur cloak, and after a little hesitation, she still grabbed a corner of Wei Lai's clothes.

Feeling that the hem of his clothes was being pulled, Wei Lai glanced down, but sighed secretly, and then before he could say anything, the horse under him had already begun to step up the mountain. Her horse is a war horse that has followed her for four or five years, and she has long been accustomed to climbing mountains and wading in the ice and snow, and she walks smoothly on weekdays, but it is still inevitable when she goes up the mountain.

"Ah......" He Zhi sat on the horse's back, and if there was no embankment, he leaned back, and almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, when Wei Lai saw that she was only holding the corner of her clothes, she was already on guard, and reached out in time to stop her, which saved an accident.

With a slight force on his arm, he pulled the person behind him back and sat down, Wei Lai opened his mouth and said, "I said that I can't pull the clothes ......" Before he finished speaking, he felt a tightness on his waist, and he didn't need to look to know that Miss He was definitely still scared.

Wei Lai pursed his lips and didn't say any more, but his body still stiffened unconsciously for a moment. Then before He Zhi noticed and reacted to the embarrassment, he forcibly relaxed.

*****************************************************************

"Jinrui, it's here." When Wei Lai's voice came, He Zhi was still in a trance.

Wei Lai didn't urge, sat on the horseback and waited for two breaths before He Zhi reacted and let go of the hand around her waist. After taking a deep breath, Wei Lai turned over and dismounted without hesitation, and then turned around and reached out to pick up He Zhi.

He Zhi did not rush off the horse, but sat on the back of the horse and stared at Wei condescendingly for a long time - General Wei's face had already recovered as usual, even her expression could not find any difference, she generously stretched out her hand and waited to help herself dismount, as if the previous accident had not happened at all.

Wei Lai stretched out her hand and waited for a while, but Miss He was distracted for some reason, and after a little time, she also felt uncomfortable. I secretly muttered in my heart: Could it be that she didn't pay attention to the previous things, but Miss He cared?!

This thought made Wei Lai not know whether to cry or laugh for a while, and Miss He's reaction once again proved that she was not so distracted, but so what? The man was still stubborn and refused to admit it, and she didn't know how long she would have to wait.

Thinking of this, Wei Lai lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a slightly bitter arc. However, in the next second when she lowered her head and was defenseless, He Zhi, who was sitting on horseback, chose this opportunity to jump off the horse.

He Zhi didn't help Wei Lai's hand, and jumped off the horse.

Speaking of which, even if Wei Lai's horse is tall and powerful, this horse's back is not high, even if He Zhi is weak, it will not be anything to jump at this height, and usually the next carriage has to be supported by someone just because of the posture. However, the weather has been freezing recently, and the mountain forest is even two points colder than the town, but the ground has long been frozen, He Zhi slipped as soon as he landed, and finally took the initiative to support Wei Lai's outstretched hand, so that no wolf had to fall.

"Are you alright?!" After Wei Lai reacted, he hurriedly stepped forward and held He Zhi steadily, the worry on his face was clearly visible.

He Zhi, who had just failed, blushed, and after standing firmly, he pushed Wei Lai away with a slight force, and said, "I'm fine." After a pause, he added: "Thank you." ”

Seeing He Zhi's awkwardness in his eyes, even if he was a little dissatisfied with her politeness, Wei Lai couldn't help but have a little smile on his face. Fortunately, He Zhi was embarrassed to look away at this time, otherwise he would be annoyed on the spot when he looked at Wei Lai's "joke" like this.

After laughing, Wei Lai reined in quickly, and when he turned his face, he regained his previous serious appearance. When He Zhi finally recovered and looked back, she stretched out her hand and pointed into the distance and said, "Jinrui, look over there." ”

He Zhi heard the prestige, but what caught his eye was a world of "ice sculptures". Kneel and beg to return to the field
