Chapter 23: Care
late at night
Zhang Yunxian lay on the bed, looking at the white handkerchief on his left hand in a daze.
He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, recalling the scene of Sister Lei bandaging his wounds in the stone room during the day, only to feel warm in his heart, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth showed a warm smile.
"Knock Knock"
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.
Zhang Yunxian got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked to the door.
Who could it be so late?
Could it be Sister Lei?
Thinking like this, he squeaked, opened the door, and saw a beautiful figure in sight, with long hair and a shawl, and white clothes like snow, it was Lei Lingxue.
Zhang Yunxian was very happy, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Lei, why are you here?"
Lei Lingxue said, "Oh, I brought you some herbs and put them on the wound to help you recover."
''Come in, Sister Ray''
"'I'm not going in'
After speaking, Lei Lingxue handed a small medicine bottle in her hand to Zhang Yunxian.
Zhang Yunxian took the small medicine bottle, he was very happy, looking at the small medicine bottle, he asked, "But, how should this be applied?"
Lei Lingxue asked, "Won't you?"
Zhang Yunxian shook his head.
Lei Lingxue walked into his room at this time.
The two sat down at the stone table.
Lei Lingxue said, "You put your left hand out."
Hearing this, Zhang Yunxian stretched out his left hand in front of her.
Lei Lingxue slowly untied the white handkerchief on his left hand, then opened the small medicine bottle, dipped her fingers in the potion in the bottle, and gently applied it to the wound on the palm of his left hand.
The severe pain made Zhang Yunxian frown slightly. Although it hurts, but for some reason, he feels very happy, maybe at this moment, the pain is no longer important.
Zhang Yunxian looked at Lei Lingxue, and a thought suddenly came to his mind: It would be great if it was like this forever.
After a while, Lei Lingxue re-bandaged the wound on the palm of his left hand, and she said, "Okay, you can apply it two or three times a day like me."
Zhang Yunxian nodded and said, "Hmm"
"Okay, I'm leaving" Lei Lingxue got up and walked out of the room.
Zhang Yunxian saw her leaving, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, and shouted: "Sister Lei"
Lei Lingxue looked back at him.
Zhang Yunxian just looked into her eyes and didn't speak.
Lei Lingxue was five years older than him, seeing that he didn't speak, always staring at her, her face was a little red, she lowered her head slightly, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yunxian said sincerely: "Thank you"
Lei Lingxue shook her head, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, you can go to bed early."
Then he turned around and walked out of the room and walked towards the North Palace.
Zhang Yunxian looked at her departing back, a smile on his face. He walked to the door and looked up at the night sky, only to feel that the night was very beautiful tonight, and the moon was very round.
After a long time, he gently closed the door and went back to bed.
The night seems to be deeper.
Two days later, at night
Zhang Yunxian walked alone near Nangong, feeling a little depressed. Because he hasn't seen Sister Lei in the past two days, he doesn't know where Sister Lei has gone.
As I walked, I heard a buzzing sound of insects from an unknown place around me. He felt strange and looked for a place to make a sound.
After a long time, he walked to a meadow to the west of Nangong, and saw that above the meadow, there was a group of fireflies, their tails flashing with crystal light, flying one after another, they sometimes gathered, sometimes scattered, the scene was very spectacular.
After looking at it for a moment, he said to himself: I believe she will like it, right?
He was afraid that these fireflies would fly away, so he turned around and walked towards the North Palace.
When he came to the North Palace, he saw that Lei Lingxue's room was lit up, so he came to the door of Lei Lingxue's room and knocked lightly.
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
'''Sister Lei'''
There was no sound inside the door.
He pushed the door open.
I saw Lei Lingxue changing into clothes in the room, bare her back.
When Lei Lingxue saw him come in suddenly, she looked panicked, and hurriedly picked up the clothes beside her to cover her back.
Zhang Yunxian immediately closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Lei" Then he turned around and exited the room, closing the door.
His face was red, and he was very embarrassed in his heart, and he said, "It's so rude."
He felt ashamed.
After a while, the door opened, and Lei Lingxue walked out.
Zhang Yunxian hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Sister Lei, I didn't mean to"
Lei Lingxue shook her head, smiled and said, "It's okay, what's wrong, is there something?"
"I'll take you somewhere," Zhang Yunxian finished speaking, took her right hand and walked briskly directly towards the outside of the North Palace. Because he was worried that the fireflies would fly away.
"Where are you going?" asked Lei Lingxue.
Zhang Yunxian said: "You'll know when you arrive"
After a while, the two came to the grass west of Nangong, and Zhang Yunxian stretched out his hand and pointed to the group of fireflies flying in the air in front of him and said, "Look"
Lei Lingxue looked around, only to see a group of fireflies flying in the sky, very beautiful, she couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, so beautiful" and then looked at the group of fireflies with obsessive eyes.
In a moment, the group of fireflies seemed to hear her praise, and flew over one after another, circling and dancing around the two of them, as if bright raindrops were falling in the night sky.
Perhaps the sight was so beautiful that they had forgotten that each other's hands were still clasped together.
"How did you find out?"
''It was also discovered by chance''
''I've never seen so many fireflies in the Star Worship Palace''
"Do you like it?"
"Like"
"Sister Lei, where have you been these two days?, why haven't I seen you?"
"I'm practicing thunder in the Thunder Pool."
'Oh'
After that, the two sat down on a large rock and quietly watched the flying fireflies.
Lei Lingxue asked, "What have you been hiding in your room for the past two days, and why have I rarely seen you?"
Zhang Yunxian naturally couldn't say anything about hiding in his room and practicing Ming Zhenxuan's exercises, he prevaricated: "I've been feeling very tired lately, and I'm often sleepy, maybe I'm sleeping."
'Oh'' Lei Lingxue asked, 'Is your hand injury better?'
"Of course," Zhang Yunxian stretched out his left hand and showed the wound healed in his palm in front of Lei Lingxue's eyes, and said, "With the herbs you sent and your careful dressing, it will be healed on the same day."
Lei Lingxue saw him boasting about herself, she smiled from the bottom of her heart, she was a little shy, and whispered, "Am I that powerful?"
Zhang Yun saw the smile on her face, like a beautiful flower in full bloom, and that warm feeling appeared in his heart again, he said: "Yes, so if my hand hurts again one day, I have to ask you to help me apply medicine."
Lei Lingxue smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Zhang Yunxian couldn't help laughing.
In this way, the two chatted for a long time until late at night before returning to Beigong.
Lei Lingxue was very happy, walked to the door of her room, turned her head and said, "Go back quickly."
Zhang Yunxian was a little reluctant and said: "Sister Lei,,, actually I ,,,"
In fact, he wanted to say, "I will be happy every time I am with you", but he couldn't say it anyway.
Seeing that he wanted to speak, Lei Lingxue looked into his eyes and asked softly, "What are you going to say?"
Zhang Yunxian swallowed back what he wanted to say, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No, it's nothing, you go to bed early."
Lei Lingxue smiled, nodded, and said, "Well, I know, you can go to bed early."
Zhang Yunxian nodded and said, "Hmm."
He turned around and returned to Nangong.
Seeing him walk away, Lei Lingxue smiled, then entered the room and slowly closed the door.
The next day, early in the morning.
Zhang Yunxian woke up leisurely and slowly got out of bed.
Maybe he slept too late last night, and there was still a picture of fireflies flying around him and Lei Lingxue in his mind.
He stretched and pushed open the window, only to see Lei Lingxue squatting by the stream in front of him scrubbing Yishan. The white hands rubbed the clothes repeatedly, and the long hair hung naturally down to the ears, gentle and beautiful.
Thinking back to last night's scene, a smile appeared on his lips. He put on his coat, walked out of the room, and walked towards Lei Lingxue.
"Sister Lei, it's so early," Zhang Yunxian asked.
When Lei Lingxue saw him coming, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Well, my father said that there is something tomorrow and he wants to leave the Star Worship Palace, and I will wash his dirty clothes."
Zhang Yunxian nodded and said, "Oh."
"Do you have any clothes to wash?, I'll wash them for you," Lei Lingxue asked.
Zhang Yunxian shook his head and said, "No."
"I'll help you wash it," Zhang Yunxian squatted down and reached out to help her wash her clothes.
Lei Lingxue said: "Let's come here, I'm worried that you won't wash it cleanly."
Zhang Yunxian had no choice but to stand up and look at her quietly.
At this time, Lei Lingxue washed her clothes, picked up her clothes, and prepared to return to Beigong.
Zhang Yunxian said: "Sister Lei, I'll help you get it."
Lei Lingxue said: "It's okay"
Zhang Yunxian reached out and took the shirt in her hand and walked back to Beigong side by side with her.
Zhang Yunxian asked, "Sister Lei, can I discuss something with you?"
Lei Lingxue nodded and said, "Okay, what's the matter?"
''Can I not call you Sister Lei in the future?''
''What's that called?''
''Can I call you,,, call you Lingxue?''
Lei Lingxue lowered her head thoughtfully, and for a moment, whispered, "Yes"
Zhang Yunxian was very happy in his heart and said, "Okay, then I will call you Ling Xue in the future."
Lei Lingxue smiled and nodded: "Hmm"
