Chapter 214: Looking for Her Alone
Because there was only one bed in the inn's private room that could lie down and sleep, she rejected Xiaocai's statement that she would curl up by the inn window for a night.
It's just that it's autumn now, and after the autumn rains fall, the temperature is getting lower and lower day by day.
In addition, the night is colder than the day, and after she entered this private room with Xiaocai, she could get goosebumps just by being blown by the night wind.
Not to mention letting Xiaocai, a thin little girl, be alone near the window for one night, and there is a chance that she will catch a cold when she wakes up the next day.
So regardless of Xiaocai's objections, she booked a private room next to her alone.
"Little sect master, the slave and maid will go down here, if you need a slave or maid, just call the slave and maid." Xiaocai took the sewage that had been used up with a smile, and after a sentence of encouragement, Fang stepped over the threshold of the private room, took the door and walked out.
After Gao Xiaoxiao cleaned the first person, he went directly to the bed, planning to take the opportunity to rest and put his consciousness back on the AI.
But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and as soon as she put the futon under cover, she heard the sound of buttoning at the door.
There was no choice but to pick up the coat she had just taken off and put it on, and go open the wooden door.
As soon as the door opened, she was not particularly surprised by the person who appeared at the door.
Zhuo Xiu held a cup of what seemed to be medicinal soup in his hand, and looked at her with concern: "Xiaoxiao, it's raining lightly outside, after coming down from the city wall, I feel that you don't look good, so I asked the innkeeper for a bowl of medicinal ginger tea that can warm up your body, you drink some to warm up, by the way, I will also talk to you about something." ”
Originally, when he heard that Zhuo Xiu was here to deliver medicinal ginger tea, Gao Xiaoxiao subconsciously wanted to wave his hand and refuse.
But after listening to what he said later, she couldn't help but nod and let him in.
As soon as Zhuo Xiu came in, Gao Xiaoxiao found that the inn window had been blown open at some point.
When she went to close the window against the cold night breeze, Fang found that it was indeed raining lightly outside, as Zhuo Xiu said.
The rain and wind blew on her face, wetting her forehead bangs and making her unable to hold back a sneeze.
After closing the wooden window, Zhuo Xiu had already poured her a cup of medicinal ginger tea, but instead of going to the low couch by the window where she thought it would be used to talk about things, he sat on the side of her couch.
Seeing her coming, Zhuo Xiu put the medicinal ginger teapot that still had a lot left in his hand on the wooden table next to the couch, looked at her and said, "You have already gone to bed in wide clothes, so you can't go to the low couch by the window like this." Let's go straight to the bed, it won't take much time for what I want to talk to you, and I'll leave after saying a few words. ”
Gao Xiaoxiao was not defensive about Zhuo Xiu's friend-like existence, and he didn't think much about it when he heard that he let her stay out of concern.
Lifted the quilt and went to the couch, leaning on the back of the couch, Zhuo Xiu also intimately handed the poured medicinal ginger tea to her.
"Let's take a sip first." As he spoke, he pulled out something wrapped in oiled paper from the cuff.
Zhuo Xiu untied the string tied to the oiled paper package, and after unfolding the oiled paper, there were a few candied fruits lying quietly inside.
He picked one up and handed it to Gao Xiaoxiao's lips, and said in a gentle tone: "Take one after taking a sip, I asked the inn junior two, and said that although this medicinal ginger tea works, the ginger flavor is too strong and spicy, I am afraid that you can't stand it, so I asked him to buy some candied fruit." ”
Gao Xiaoxiao looked at the young man in front of him with a concerned face and a beautiful face, and he didn't see the deep affection in his eyes at all, only when he was so concerned about her for the sake of his good friend.
After being forced to take a sip of medicinal ginger tea, he was just about to reach out to take the candied fruit he handed over, but he took the first step to stuff half of the entrance.
"Don't touch it, this candied fruit is slimy, and you have to clean your hands if you touch it."
Gao Xiao smiled and thought about it, and when the time came, he would have to stay again, and he was tired.
After bowing her head, she ate the candied fruit with the action that Zhuo Xiu fed her.
But because the candied fruit was pinched by his index finger and thumb, when she went to eat it, her lips inevitably touched Zhuo Xiu's cold fingertips.
It's just that she didn't pay attention to this, just because Zhuo Xiu had never been more than a friend in her place, and since she didn't have any thoughts on him, she naturally wouldn't think much about it.
But Zhuo Xiu was different, after the itchy tingling of the fingertips dissipated, he also took a candied fruit in front of a smile, and sent it to his mouth with a slight flash in his eyes.
Before eating it, he said, "This thing looks good, I'll taste it too." ”
When eating, when Gao Xiaoxiao lowered his head and took another sip of ginger tea, he deliberately licked the position where her lips had touched his fingers before.
Just like this, it has already made him so satisfied that the ends of his eyes are crisp, and even when he talks to her next business, his voice is also affected.
The young man's voice was hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible contentment: "I got news from here, saying that someone from the Sword Sect is here, and it seems that he is going to the Fu Sect." ”
Gao Xiaoxiao had known about this for a long time, but he still had to pretend to be surprised: "Sword Sect? What did they do when they came to the Fu Gong Sect? ”
Zhuo Xiu licked the remaining sweetness on the corner of his lips and shook his head: "I don't know very well at the moment, but for the sake of insurance, after I return to the Fu Sect with you, can you send someone to clean up a room near your couch and come out, I live next door to you, and I can better protect you." ”
Gao Xiaoxiao always felt a little strange after listening to his appeal, but after looking at Zhuo Xiu's serious expression, he felt that she was thinking too much, and quickly responded with his head.
"Naturally, I will also need your help when I make the dust, and you can walk less if you live closer."
After the matter was decided, Zhuo Xiu explained a few more words to her, covered the quilt so as not to catch a cold and other caring words, and then got up and left.
Not long after the wooden door closed, and she was about to go to bed again, she heard another knock on the door.
I couldn't do it, so I could only sigh helplessly and stay again, just because Zhuo Xiu had something to forget.
When he opened the wooden door, he was even the first to speak: "Zhuo Xiu, what ......is it?"
Before she finished speaking, she found that the person in front of her was Zhuang Hui, who surprised her.
"Little ....... Ahem, Hinoki Child, why are you? ”
Zhuang Hui looked like he had just finished washing, and the broken hair on his forehead was even a little wet, and he told her that he was here to help her treat her deficiency of qi and blood.
"I have a good set of acupuncture points here, Miss Xiao want to try it?"
Reason told Gao Xiaoxiao that she should refuse, but after returning that face to Shangzhuang, she couldn't say anything to refuse, and finally let him in in a daze.
Zhuang Hui, like Zhuo Xiu, let her go directly to the bed, so as not to get cold.
Gao Xiaoxiao had no objections, and after lying down honestly, he looked at the young man who was already rolling up his sleeves, and suddenly remembered one thing, that is, she was not wearing a veil or wiping her forehead now!
