Chapter 82: Monk, I'm Your Little Fox (21)
Su Dai's fever gradually subsided, but he still couldn't wake up. For three days in a row, she only felt groggy, occasionally opened her eyes, and vaguely saw a figure shaking in front of her, only weak and weak, as if there was a thin layer of fog in front of her, as if she was in a fairyland, she couldn't see clearly. Woke up in a trance, and didn't wake up for a moment, only felt that her brain was swollen and painful, and someone was whispering something in her ear, she replied vaguely, and after a while, fatigue slowly hit again, and her body was sore and weak, so she didn't want to pay much attention, and closed her eyes in the chaos and fell asleep.
It took three full days of sleep for her to gradually wake up, and during these three days, except for vague chaos, there were endless nightmares. When she woke up, the sky was bright, looking out through the carved window, the sky was full of white, and there was only a faint light left in the charcoal basin.
It was too cold, and the faint fire in the charcoal basin could not warm up the whole house. The small figure was huddled, and although it was covered with a big coat, it was still shivering with cold. She caressed his little face with some distress, the temperature of her palm firmly matched the coldness on his face, she spoke softly, and then she realized that her voice was hoarse, "Heng'er? β
Xu Heng woke up suddenly, a pair of eyes opened at first glance and stared in a daze, and when he saw that Su Dai was awake, his face couldn't help but burst with joy: "Sister Dai is awake!" He saw her withered, skinny lips, and hurried to pour a glass of water.
"How long did I sleep?" She took the teacup and drank it all, her throat finally stopped aching, and her voice was moistened a lot, "What about Saihan and Zhenyan?" β
Xu Heng took the tea cup in her hand and put it on the small table beside her, with a happy smile on her face, full of childishness, "You have slept for three days, and they are tired during these three days, so I let them go back to their rooms to sleep." β
"So you've been guarding me?" She gently took his little hand, and suddenly felt cold.
He touched his head a little embarrassed, and his eyes were as bright as stars, "I can't rest assured that my sister is gone." After a pause, he continued to laugh, "And I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of my sister!" At this point, his tone was a little coquettish.
The faint morning light penetrated into the house through the carved windows, and the winter weather was usually blue-gray and gloomy, but today was a rare good weather, and the mild halo was half-sprinkled on the ground, and the whole house seemed to have crossed a layer of hazy ambiguity. In her ears was Saihan's happy laughter, and the corners of Su Dai's lips also had a slight smile, her body was still weak, and her illness was not getting better, Saihan didn't allow her to get out of bed, she had to nest on the bed. Xu Heng was pushed back to sleep by her, and when she went back, her mouth was pouting, full of satisfied reluctance.
Saihan chattered all the things that had happened in the past few days, and added two sentences more or less in the middle, Su Dai just listened with a smile throughout the whole process, and when it came to Xu Heng, Su Dai was slightly stunned, and looked thoughtfully at the empty teacup on the small table.
In the past three days, Jiang Mi came to see her several times, and every time she slept darkly, Jiang Mi sat with her for a while and then went back. Listening to Saihan, Jiang Mi gave Liang Shunyi's abuse of lynching to Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xiangui listened to it very fairly, and punished Liang Shunyi for copying "Internal Training" three times, and was not allowed to step out of the east courtyard of the Agarwood Pavilion for half a step until it was copied.
Su Dai listened lightly, and his heart could finally be quiet for a few days.
After noon, Xu Heng came over again with Lantern Festival, and as soon as he entered the house, he came to Su Dai and smiled, and did not speak. She amusedly pushed away his approaching face: "Why are you so weird?" Why are you here now? Don't you go to school? β
"In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and yesterday the wife had a holiday." Xu Heng smiled slyly, Su Dai was stunned, time passed so quickly, and it was about to be Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
Saihan and Zheyan were sorting things out for Su Dai, Lantern Xiao looked at them with her little face in both hands, her eyes were shining, and her chubby appearance was cute, Saihan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her fleshy face, Lantern Xiao was not annoyed, just smiled.
"Hey, what is this?" Lantern Xiao asked, pointing to a small object in a box.
Saihan glanced at it, hurriedly put it away, and smiled: "It's nothing." β
Su Dai looked at them with a smile, but when he saw Saihan's hidden look, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, so he asked, "What is it, I'll take a look." β
Saihan smiled forcefully: "Little master, don't look at it." β
"What the hell, bring it to me."
Saihan walked over slowly, spread out his palm, but saw that there was a sachet in his palm that had not yet been embroidered, and two mandarin ducks were embroidered on the satin of Li, Xu Heng immediately laughed: "Sister Saihan, this is embroidered by you?" What's so nice about two ducks? β
Saihan frowned and glared at Xu Heng, Su Dai looked indifferent, it was embroidered for him, she suddenly remembered the will of the joke, the corners of her lips sneered, she looked away lightly, and said casually: "Burn it." β
Xu Heng realized that the atmosphere was wrong, looked at Su Dai again, and smiled brightly: "Why did you burn it, it's a pity to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, her voice suddenly turned cold, like frost outside: "Don't go quickly." Saihan hurriedly complied, lifted the hem of his skirt and hurried out.
Su Dai said lightly: "You all go out, I have something to talk to Heng'er." Lantern Xiao was stunned for a moment, bowed his face, and went out with Lantern Xiao in his hand.
The room was suddenly covered with frost, Xu Heng pulled the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a well-behaved smile, and his voice was soft: "What's wrong with Sister Dai, why did you suddenly let them all go out?" β
"Don't pretend." She stared at his immature face, there was still some baby fat on his cheeks, a pair of eyes were as bright as obsidian, he was a child with red lips and white teeth, and suddenly spit out three words from between his lips and teeth, he was suddenly stunned in place, and the well-behaved smile on his face froze, and after a long time, he spoke: "What did my sister say?" What's not to pretend? β
She said lightly: "Saihan told me about that day, you don't look like a seven-year-old child. After saying this, she raised her head slightly as if recalling something: "Let me think about it, when I saw you for the first time, Emperor Jiayang was bullying you, what kind of expression did you look at that time, it seemed to be ruthless." But when I told you about my time in Ujurqin, you suddenly became very well-behaved, like a very frightened child. You already guessed that I was Concubine Yi at that time, and the naΓ―ve and well-behaved you showed in front of me were all your disguises, right? β
Xu Heng listened to her words in a daze, and suddenly smiled: "You are very smart, just guess it like this." β
"A seven-year-old proton is by no means just cowardice on the surface, I was Concubine Yi before, if you can meet me, I can still find a place for you in this glass palace, and life can be a little better. But now? I am a rejected concubine, so what good will it do you? β
"What do you say, it's so ugly." Xu Heng muttered in a low voice, he looked up at Su Dai and said seriously: "There is no one to do now, I really treat you as a sister." If it's true that you're good to me, then it's true that I'm good to you, even if it's been fake before, but at least it's true now and in the future. β
Su Dai was stunned, she had imagined a lot of Xu Heng's answers, but none of them were like this, and a warmth slowly hit her heart.
Xu Heng then said: "Also, Zhenyan is my brother's person, if you can rest assured of me, you can't fortify her." β
Childe? The white-clothed boy standing under the hibiscus tree seemed to appear in front of her again.
She sighed softly, and couldn't help but reach out and rub Xu Heng's pink little face, her heart was full of sighs, how old is he, he is already so old and stable, what was she doing when she was seven years old? Although she also knew how to calculate people's hearts at that time, she couldn't compare to him after all, and thinking about it made her feel sorry for him again.
