Chapter Seventy-Seven: I Like Xiaobai
The candle flame flickered slightly, lighting up the room.
The two of them maintained this posture, as if they were frozen, and neither of them moved first.
The warm breath breathed between each other, and even the space was dyed with emotional crimson.
Finally, Tsukimi squinted his eyes and said, "What are you looking at?" β
Because of the fever, Tsukimi's voice is a little hoarse, but at this moment, it is sexy for no reason.
Li Mengbai was awakened by her words, his handsome face was slightly red, he straightened up in embarrassment, his eyes didn't dare to look over, and he said, "I'll see if your fever has subsided." β
Tsukimi sat up, crossed his legs, tilted his head to look at him, and still smiled: "Then, have you retreated?" β
Because of Yuejian's movements, the strip of cloth on her forehead fell, Li Mengbai took it in her hand, and wanted to squeeze it into the basin again, but the warm water had turned cold: "I'll go boil another pot." β
Yuejian looked at him for a long time, propped up his chin with one hand, a flash of narrowness flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to smile and said, "Aren't you going to test my temperature?" β
Li Mengbai turned his head to meet her eyes, the clear eyes were too clear, and there was a kind of heart that she could see through.
Just as he was about to bow his head and take the basin, he felt a warmth in his wrist, and then his palm touched the delicate and soft skin.
Li Mengbai was stunned and looked in the direction where the palm was placedβagainst the smooth forehead of the moon, and on the wrist, there was a slender but powerful hand.
Tsukimi saw all his expressions, and a smile overflowed from his eyes.
Li Mengbai felt the temperature of his palm, it was a peaceful heat, it seemed that the high fever had subsided, he was relieved, and his expression was not as tight as before.
Yuejian is a keen person, Li Mengbai's subtle expression can't escape her eyes, when she analyzes it, she realizes that Li Mengbai really cares about her feelings, and her heart is filled with a kind of sweetness, and she feels a little sorry for playing tricks on him, and her hand holding him is relaxed.
Li Mengbai noticed the body temperature leaving at his wrist, and a slight loss flashed in his eyes, and then smiled: "Let's rest for a while." β
Yuejian rubbed her forehead, slept for a day and half a night, she was now completely sleepy, tilted her head and said, "I can't sleep." β
Under the candlelight, Yuejian looked up and saw that Li Mengbai's face was a little tired, and he couldn't bear it, and said, "I'm fine, you can go to sleep."
Li Mengbai frowned, a little hesitant, the high fever will be repeated, and he is afraid that it will burn again after a while.
Seeing that he didn't leave, Tsukimi teased, "Do you want to spend the night in my room?" β
Knowing that Yuejian made fun of him, Li Mengbai's face was still embarrassed to turn red, and it was not the first time that he had deeply experienced Yuejian's bad nature.
Usually Li Mengbai ignores it, but tonight he didn't know what stimulation he was in, and he said without thinking about it: "Well, okay." β
"Uh......" Finally, there was a time, and Tsukimi was stumped.
Li Mengbai also realized that his words were a bit misleading, and scratched his face: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." β
When Li Mengbai was about to turn around, Yuejian tugged on Li Mengbai's sleeve.
At this moment, Li Mengbai's heart couldn't stop beating, and there was a kind of unknown expectation.
Tsukimi squinted and smiled: "You have dirty things on your face." β
"Huh?" Li Mengbai wiped his face and asked Yuejian with his eyes-has it been removed, is there anything left?
Yuejian looked left and right, suddenly sat up straight, let go of Li Mengbai's sleeve, raised his finger and hooked: "You lean over, I'll wipe it off for you." β
Li Mengbai blinked, leaned over without much thought, and asked Tsukimi to help wipe it clean. But when he bent over, he was smiling at the bright and clear eyes of the previous moon.
Yuejian leaned forward, and then his fingers touched the handsome face that was close at hand, and in Li Mengbai's stunned, he kissed him on the side of the cheek, and then quickly retreated, looking at him with interest and a stunned expression.
Li Mengbai felt that everything around him was blurry, only the woman in front of him was more and more clearly imprinted on the bottom of his eyes, obviously facing the sky, but it was better than heavy makeup, like spring dew, fresh and lovely.
"Xiaobai, I like you." Tsukimi narrowed his eyes and smiled, and the words he spoke were soft and steady, just like the tone in which he usually teased him.
Li Mengbai was frightened, and just took a breath, which frightened her and held her breath.
In the quiet room, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly, Tsukimi held his knees with his hands, and laughed loudly, his body trembling from laughing, and he couldn't stop laughing.
Li Mengbai continued to breathe out and slowly exhaled, he knew that Yuejian was teasing him again, and when he realized this fact, a strong sense of loss came out of his heart.
Picking up the basin of water that was already cold on the ground, Li Mengbai walked out of the room, and when he arrived at the door, when he held the doorknob, behind him, Yuejian's voice sounded again: "Xiaobai." β
Li Mengbai didn't look back, and said with a wry smile: "See Yue, don't make fun of me, you're still sick, take a good rest." β
The door opened, and the cold air outside poured Li Mengbai's face, making him feel inexplicably cold.
"What if what I say is true?" The sound of the moon is like water, gentle and calm.
Li Mengbai's hands trembled, the water in the basin almost spilled, he hesitated for a long time, and his eyebrows gathered together.
The coolness from outside brought in, causing the temperature of the room to plummet, and Tsukimi coughed in the wind, and he couldn't stop coughing.
Li Mengbai hurriedly closed the door, put the basin next to him, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
After Yuejian took two sips, the cough slowly stopped, and the bright eyes that coughed up the mist looked at Li Mengbai for a moment.
Li Mengbai avoided her forced gaze, took the water cup and held it with both hands, finally took a breath, and said, "I'm not worthy of you." β
Tsukimi bent his knees, rested his right hand on it to prop up his chin, tilted his head slightly, and said, "Then do you like it or not?" β
Although Yuejian didn't say it explicitly, Li Mengbai knew that she was asking whether she liked her or not.
Li Mengbai didn't ask himself this question, but the answer instantly came to his heart, in fact, there is no need to think about this kind of thing, when someone unconsciously fills his mind, even the most dull person will react.
However, Li Mengbai felt that he was not worthy of Yuejian now, so he subconsciously resisted this answer, and repeatedly hypnotized himself to treat Yuejian as an ordinary friend and give his friends care.
However, in the end, this is all self-deception.
When the clear question was thrown in front of Li Mengbai, the words he wanted to deny turned to the bright eyes of the moon when he saw the moon last month, and nodded affirmatively: "I like it." β
Tsukimi curled the corners of her mouth, and that confident smile showed her confidence in this man.
She is not an ordinary woman, she doesn't pay attention to those face problems, and she doesn't care about the world's eyes, she purely feels that since she knows that she likes that person, she shouldn't waste time guessing about each other.
On the other side, after Li Mengbai spit out the two words like it from his mouth, somehow, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and he felt much more comfortable saying it.
The two people looked at each other again, pursed their lips and smiled at each other, full of affection.
The night was still long, but the two men were clearly not sleepy.
Tsukimi lay down again, she now felt very good in spirit, and the fever and toothache had been thrown out of the clouds.
Li Mengbai tucked the corners of the quilt for her and said, "Don't sleep?" β
Tsukimi shook his head: "I've slept enough." β
Li Mengbai sat down on the chair next to Yuejian's bed again, his face was a little tired, but his expression showed inexplicable excitement.
Tsukimi leaned his head back: "You don't go to sleep for a while." β
Li Mengbai looked at her, his eyes were gentle like water: "I want to look at you." β
After he finished saying this, he found that the meaning was a little ambiguous, and he was embarrassed to bow his head and scratch his forehead.
Tsukimi smiled, and when she wanted to say something, the red and swollen tooth was pulled, and she took a cool breath in pain.
Li Mengbai immediately said nervously: "What's wrong?" β
Tsukimi covered half of his face: "Toothache." β
Li Mengbai frowned: "Why does it still hurt, wasn't it all fine just now?" β
Tsukimi touched the innermost painful part with the tip of his tongue, rubbed his cheek with his hand, felt a little abnormal bulge, and asked, "Xiaobai, look if my face is a little swollen." β
Li Mengbai took a closer look and found that his face over there didn't know when it started, and it was swollen with a big bag, which made the whole face change square, and nodded: "Well, it's very swollen." β
Tsukimi opened his mouth and found that his teeth were almost unable to open now, and he suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and vowed never to eat maltose again in his life.
Li Mengbai stood up and said, "I'll go get some well water and give you some ice." β
Yuejian said aggrievedly: "It hurts, you can find me some painkillers." β
"No, Miss Ye said, taking more of those painkillers is not good for your health." Li Mengbai is quite persistent in this regard.
Tsukimi frowned: "I think it's okay, eat one more night." β
Li Mengbai saw that it was rare for her to be so willful, but she didn't look like she was at ease and cunning on weekdays, so she suddenly felt a little pity, and couldn't help but raise her hand and gently stroke the top of her hair, and said in a good voice: "Good, I'll go get some cold water and compress it." β
Tsukimi rubbed his cheeks, his mouth was a little painful, but there were waves of super sweetness in his heart, and he just covered the pain.
Suddenly, Tsukimi felt that being a spoiled little woman was also a very happy thing.
Not long after Li Mengbai went out, he came back with a basin of cold water.
The well water was compressed on Tsukimi's face with a cool feeling, with a calming and soothing effect.
Tsukimi felt the chill penetrate his skin and go straight inside, his eyes resting on the man in front of him, temporarily forgetting the pain caused by his teeth.
Li Mengbai was a little uncomfortable to look at by such a pair of eyes, and sighed: "What are you looking at?" β
Tsukimi squinted and smiled, "Look at you." β
Li Mengbai didn't expect her to answer so bluntly, but was stunned.
Tsukimi continued to smile and said, "Xiaobai, did I tell you ......?"
"Huh?"
"You're pretty good-looking."
Li Mengbai: "......"
β¦β¦
After a long time, Li Mengbai said in a serious tone: "Yuejian, I think it's better for me to say something like this in the future." Li Mengbai was a little depressed, shouldn't this be what a man said to a woman, how could he give her the first place, and the confession just now.
Tsukimi pursed her lips and began to laugh again.
However, between lovers, it is obviously not so important who confesses to whom first, the important thing is that the two hearts finally slowly get closer together, and they will never be separated.
