Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 3 The Sick Little Gray Cat
The sea wind was strong, and Yue Wugui fell ill on the tenth day of sailing.

He lived in the imperial city since he was a child, and he hadn't been on a boat for a long time, his head was dizzy, and in addition to such a catastrophe, the destruction of his relatives, the proud son of heaven fell to the clouds overnight, his whole body was depressed, and he was in a daze. Then he fell ill.

Thanks to Emperor Yun's foresight and thoughtful consideration, he arranged for a "family member" to accompany him to the island and take care of him along the way.

This job really needs Shi Xuanling to do it. Shi Xuanqin is used to being pampered and doesn't know medical skills.

Shi Xuanling didn't dislike being blameless, took care of him day and night, and didn't feel how hard it was to be bumpy all the way at sea. Instead, he hummed a little tune every day and ran up and down the boat, looking in a good mood.

Yue Wujiu often lies on the bed weakly, looking at the excited and busy Shi Xuanling, thinking very suspiciously——

Does she like me that much?

Unbelievable, really unbelievable.

He wanted to ask Shi Xuanling something several times, but he couldn't.

The young man is sensitive and has an indescribable awkwardness, which made him not know how to face Shi Xuanling for a long time.

In particular, her face was somewhat similar to Shi Xuanqin's. Even though her temperament was very different, she still swayed in front of him a few times a day, which made him inevitably recall the painful past of being divorced and ruthlessly abandoned.

What's more, she is... from the Shi family.

The Shi family was once supported by the Yue clan all the way, and received all kinds of favors. They rose step by step in the court and were proud of the spring breeze. The daughter of the Shi family also treated him tenderly and sweetly, and promised him a sweet dream from the beginning to the end.

But when he woke up from the dream, the bronze mirror was shattered, he stood up in embarrassment, and looked around, only then did he realize——

Everything is false.

Like his emperor uncle, he also hated cheating and betrayal the most in his life.

"You know what? I really hate...your Shi family."

After walking on the sea for more than half a month, Yue Wujiu finally spoke in a dumb voice, but the first sentence was so harsh that he didn't say it until it was harsh, and he regretted it a little.

Even though he was full of resentment and resentment, he shouldn't be facing Shi Xuanling, the girl who followed him without complaint or regret and took care of him day and night.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xuanling, who was feeding him the medicine, gave him a hand, nodded, and smiled at Yue Wuzuo indifferently: "You are right, the Shi family really hates it, but luckily I left that ghostly place .”

Yue Wugui was stunned.

The girl in front of her smiled brighter and brighter, her shallow pupils looked dreamlike and extremely clear under the sunlight outside the window.

Her voice was as crisp and melodious as the bell she wore on her hand, every single word resounded briskly in the room:
"My son, you don't have to treat me as a member of the Shi family. I returned to the Shi family when I was nine years old and made a so-called 'recognition of ancestors and returning to the clan' ceremony, but in fact, I have lived with my mother in Qingli since I was a child. In the mountains, we are members of the butterfly clan, and in my heart, that is my home."

Although her mother had told her that after returning to the imperial city, she must never mention her life experience in front of others, just treat herself as an ordinary young lady from a family, forget Qingli Mountain, forget the Butterfly Clan, and must keep her mouth shut to everyone.

But in the face of Yue Wugui, Shi Xuanling somehow told her life experience like this.

After all, over the years, she has been deliberately erased from her identity, her hometown, and her connection with the Butterfly Clan. Her father only claimed that she was a daughter raised by the Shi family in the early years.

Her mother became an unidentified "outside room", and she also became a rootless person, unable to find anyone to confide in, holding back for many years, and finally met Yue Wugui, she didn't want to lie to him.

After all, she is his "family" now, and they are considered a family, so she is not "leaking" to the outside world, right?

As soon as he talked about his hometown and those childhood anecdotes in the Butterfly Clan, Shi Xuanling opened up like a chatterbox.

The girl smiled cleverly, took the opportunity to lift the spoon, and signaled Yue Wujiu to open his mouth, and he was really obedient and swallowed a spoonful of medicine without knowing anything.

"My lord, my people all call me 'Little Bell', you can call me that too, you don't need to call me 'Miss Shi San', I finally left the Shi family and got rid of this boring title, you can Don't make me think about it again."

The girl's eyes were shining brightly, and her heart skipped a beat as she watched more innocently. He turned his head, but he couldn't say the intimate "Little Bell", so he could only vaguely respond: "I'll call you 'Xuan Ling' All right."

"It's fine, as long as you are happy, my son."

The girl responded with all her mouth. From boarding the ship to now, she has been obedient to him, Yue Wugui couldn't help it, and really wanted to ask that sentence——

"Why do you... like me so much?"

But when the words came to my lips, they finally became: "In the past, my parents called me A Yue at home, but now my mother is imprisoned, and my father..."

This is the wound that Yue Wujiu can't talk about, as long as he thinks of his father's tragic end, he will be heartbroken and in pain.

Sure enough, the night boy had a nightmare, curled up on the bed, shouting "Dad" and "Mother" at one time, this movement naturally woke Shi Xuanling up.

In order to take care of Yue Wugui conveniently, she slept in the same room with him, but separated by a screen in the middle.

Now that she heard the boy's painful call in her dream, Shi Xuanling hurried around behind the screen to take a look, but it didn't matter, she suddenly widened her eyes, good guy, that little gray cat appeared again——

This time it was still crying, but it was different from the cold and aloof last time, this time the little gray cat was sickly, curled up into a ball, looking even more pitiful.

Shi Xuanling didn't have time to think about it, she touched Yue Wujiu's bed with her bare feet, and hugged him into her arms.

She leaned over to press his forehead and found that he had a severe fever, so she quickly fed him a homemade pill. After a while, the boy's fever subsided a little, and Shi Xuanling took out another nectar from his bosom, thinking After thinking about it, it was still lightly stuffed into the boy's mouth.

He was too bitter in his dream tonight, so bitter... She wanted to make him taste a little bit of sweetness, even if it could only make him taste a little bit.

In fact, ever since the nectar she made was disliked by everyone in the Shi family when she was a child, she no longer shared this special sweetness with others, with the exception of Yue Wugui tonight.

Shi Xuanling only hoped that he, who used to be well-clothed and tasted delicious food in the world, would not be like the former Shi family... dislike the candy she gave.

Fortunately, Yue Wujiu actually gave him a lot of face, he ate the candy in a drowsy state, and it was as if he was comforted, and his whole mood calmed down a lot.

Shi Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but not long after, Yue Wujiu began to sweat again, and became emotional, talking in her arms in a dream: "Mother, where are you, it's so dark... How could Dad Conspiracy, I don't believe it, I never believe it..."

Shi Xuanling knew that Shizi had been hit too hard and went into hysteria, so she hurriedly held down his flailing hands and feet, and hugged him even tighter.

The moonlight was pouring outside the window, and the sea breeze was howling. Shi Xuanling imitated the way her mother coaxed her when she was young, hugged Yue Wugui, and softly comforted her: "Ah Yue, mother is here, don't be afraid, mother is with you , Ah Yue is obedient, he will get better soon..."

She coaxed and coaxed, and suddenly felt that she was not very authentic, and she couldn't take advantage of others like this, so she quickly added: "My son, my son, I will only be your mother for one night, don't mind."

Yue Wujiu fell into a state of confusion, listening to the girl talking to herself, angry and funny, wanted to respond but couldn't get rid of the nightmare, and couldn't push away that slender figure, so he could only let it go. She "takes advantage of him" time and time again.

The sea breeze blew all night, and the sky finally dawned.

When Shi Xuanling woke up in a daze, she saw a magnified handsome face and asked her quietly, "Did you become my mother last night?"

With this shock, the girl was completely awake.

"Everything is expedient, everything is expedient, son, don't care..."

Shi Xuanling got up quickly as he said that, fearing that he would be more innocent and get to the bottom of the matter, he hurriedly fetched hot water and began to help him groom and wash him, as well as ... needles and acupuncture points for him.

Yes, although Yue Wugui's fever subsided, according to his pulse and symptoms, Shi Xuanling had to do acupuncture for him to completely release the heat poison in his body.

To get acupuncture, you naturally have to take off your clothes to expose your entire back.

The young man started to feel awkward again, and sat on the bed dawdly, unwilling to unbutton his clothes in front of Shi Xuanling.

Shi Xuanling opened the red sandalwood medicine box she brought aboard, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you just need to regard me as a doctor. In the eyes of a doctor, there is only a distinction between patients, not men and women."

She was so generous and frank, she seemed more innocent and hypocritical, the boy stopped talking, pursed his lips and began to undress.

As soon as his back was revealed, Shi Xuanling couldn't help but secretly marveled in his heart.

What a beautiful curve.

Although Yue Wujiu was very thin, suffered drastic changes, and was ill at sea for a long time, he still had strong muscles, slender bones, broad shoulders and narrow waist, tight texture, and there was no fault at all.

No matter from the point of view of "patient" or from the point of view of "man", it is perfect.

It's completely different from those soft-bodied dandies in the imperial city who only know how to spend time and drink, and whose brains are full of fat.

Yes, Shi Xuanling is talking about her own brothers, a group of Shi family's sons and brothers, either they are as thin as chickens, or they have a big belly. Pull them apart one by one, and I really can't find one who looks more innocent Such "outstanding".

In fact, Yue Wujiu has practiced martial arts with his father all year round and has strict requirements on himself, which is indeed different from the ordinary sons of aristocratic families in the imperial city.

After all, he was once the most shining star in Shengdu City.

Shi Xuanling didn't know what to think of, and sighed inexplicably.

"Why sigh?"

Yue Wugui felt it sensitively, and asked nervously, but Shi Xuanling began to walk the needle for him, while whispering: "It's nothing, it's just a little distressed and regretful."

The girl didn't say anything more, but she was so clever that she understood the deep meaning of the words.

He suddenly became short of breath, and his eyes were flushed unconsciously under the agitation of his emotions.

It turns out that in this world, there will still be such a person who truly loves his situation and regrets his fall from the sky.

Even if he was deeply mired in the mud, there were still people who remembered his past brilliance.

The young man's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and finally he couldn't help but said hoarsely:

"Shi... Xuanling, do you like me that much?"

Asking out a random sentence suddenly, Yue Wugui's heart beat wildly.

After asking, he still couldn't help asking.

The young man was at a loss for what to do, but luckily his back was facing that beautiful figure, so she wouldn't have to see his nervousness and anxiety.

And the girl behind him didn't hesitate at all, just smiled softly: "Yes, I like you the most."

After all, you are the noble person who took me to "escape from birth".

Yue Wugui naturally couldn't hear Shi Xuanling's heartfelt voice, he could only hear the phrase "I like you the most", and for a moment, his breathing trembled even more.

After a long time, he managed to suppress his ups and downs, and asked solemnly: "Even if you follow me to the sea, and suffer from the wind and sun on Yunzhou Island in the future, will you not hesitate?"

This time, the girl still didn't hesitate, but answered more briskly: "Of course, this is what I like about you."

"what?"

"No, I mean, liking someone means that no matter where he goes, he is willing to follow him. As long as he can be with him, he is not afraid of any hardships. The world is big, and everyone can be home."

This is the second time Yue Wujiu has heard the same words, but unlike the shock at the door of Shi's house that night, what comes to his mind more now is a kind of...unspeakable touch.

He turned around suddenly, and lightly clasped the girl's wrist. When the bells touched each other, there was a clear sound.

Shi Xuanling's acupuncture was interrupted, and she raised her head for some unknown reason, but the young man stared closely at her eyes, with a burning breath in every word.

"You better...not lie to me."

　Little Bell: I like the little gray cat the most, really, really, really!

　　Little Gray Cat: This girl really loves me so much!
