Chapter 172

Deep into the night, everything is silent.

Yingying moonlight spilled in through the window lattice, like water.

Ke Yue lay on the bed, opened her eyes, and looked at the ceiling without emotion.

Is it three in the morning, or four in the morning?

She got up from the bed, put on a coat casually, and planned to take another sleeping pill.

But before here, she was attracted by the watery moonlight and planned to go out for a walk.

She pushed open the door.

So, she saw that under the eaves, there seemed to be a person curled up quietly near the base of the wall.

The boy frowned.

She walked over.

"Lin Chen, wake up." She gently shook the other person's shoulders, trying to wake up the person who had been sitting on the cold bluestone floor for an unknown amount of time.

"How will you be here?"

Lin Chen felt someone calling him, and opened his eyes in a daze.

He raised his head sleepily, but he still recognized the person in front of him.

He smiled, "Xiao Yue'er, why haven't you slept yet?"

Perhaps it was because he hadn't woken up yet, at this moment Lin Chen seemed obedient and unusually obedient, speaking with a bit of a breath.

The whole person is curled up under the wall, looking like a large and gentle dog.

"I would like to ask you why you appeared near my door."

Ke Yue raised her hand to cover Lin Chen's forehead, and it really felt cold to the touch.

She frowned.

"How long have you been here, how can you sleep directly?"

"Well...not long." Lin Chen smiled, his eyes were wet under the moonlight,
"I just missed you all of a sudden, and wanted to see if you were resting well... But, I was also afraid that if you fell asleep, what would I do if I disturbed you..."

He didn't seem to be fully awake yet, but his logic was quite clear, and he barely explained why he suddenly appeared here in the middle of the night.

"Then I just squatted here...Maybe I got tired and fell asleep before I knew it..."

He was a little annoyed, "Xiaoyue'er, did I disturb your rest...I'm leaving now."

Late at night, the dew was heavy, and the yard was covered with mist, and the bamboo leaves by the window were beaten down by the frost.

Lin Chen's hair was also wet with dew.

It looks like I've been sitting here for an hour.

Ke Yue sighed, "If I don't come out, are you going to just spend the night like this?"

"Let me help you in."

It's a pity that the boy's legs and feet are inconvenient. After sitting for so long, Lin Chen's body was almost numb from the cold, and he was a little taller than the boy.

It took Ke Yue a lot of effort to help him into the house.

Accidentally, he bumped into the place where he was beaten, and Lin Chen gasped subconsciously in pain.

Ke Yue's peach blossom eyes dimmed instantly.

"You are hurt?"

"...It's okay, just a little injury."

Her frown deepened.

After turning on the light, she supported Lin Chen to sit on the edge of the bed. She involuntarily took Lin Chen's hand and rolled up her sleeves. As expected, she saw some particularly glaring red marks.

Low air pressure spread from Ke Yue's body.

Lin Chen subconsciously sneezed.

"Who hit you?" She asked word by word.

"It's all right." The residual heat from the heater in the room hadn't dissipated yet, Lin Chen's numb body finally eased up, and even his mind was fully awake.

He quickly explained, "I got into trouble and was taught by the elders."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." He smiled, wanting to hold the boy's hand to comfort him.

But at the moment when he touched the young man's fingertips, he suddenly remembered that his hands were too cold, and subconsciously retracted.

Ke Yue had a panoramic view of his reaction.

She fixedly looked into Lin Chen's eyes, and didn't speak for a while.

It is obvious that I was injured, but why did you want to comfort me instead.

After a long time, the boy asked, "Is there any medicine?"

"Yes." He took out the bottle of ointment his father had given him before, which was still in his pocket.

"give me."

"Ah...?" Lin Chen blinked, confused.

"Are you going to help me... take medicine?" He even stuttered when he spoke.

"Ah."

The boy directly took the medicine bottle in his hand.

Anyone could see that she was in a bad mood right now.

"Lin Chen, aren't you good at taking care of people? Why did you make yourself so miserable?"

Lin Chen knew he was wrong, so he simply kept silent and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the room became a little weird.

Ke Yue had a cold face, but the movements of her hands were extremely gentle.

She helped Lin Chen take off his coat, changed into a pair of slippers, and rolled up the thin shirt and trousers.

She used the temperature between her fingers to smudge a little of the frozen ointment, and rubbed it along the red marks bit by bit.

When the softened ointment touched the skin, it turned into a thin oil film, covering the bruises.It took effect soon, and the wound became cool and refreshing.

A faint smell of medicine began to diffuse in the room.

"Where else?"

"There are also on the back." Lin Chen answered honestly.

Ke Yue lifted the hem of his clothes.

The place where he was beaten was slightly bruised, and the outline of the boxwood board was clearly printed.

What kind of mistake did he make that deserves such a heavy hand.

But looking at this injury, the blow was indeed skillful, avoiding the bones and important tendons, but only hurting some subcutaneous capillaries, which looked terrifying.

Apply some ointment, and the congestion should dissipate within two days.

Forget it, she is just a guest and can't control other people's housework.

The skin was exposed to the air, which made Lin Chen's senses extremely sensitive.

He could feel the boy's fingers.

Delicate and smooth, like a piece of warm jade, it ran over the wounds on his back one by one.

The tips of his ears turned red unconsciously.

The boy's strength is very gentle and will not cause any discomfort.

But Lin Chen still made a little noise with bad intentions.

"hiss--"

The boy noticed it immediately.

"Did I hurt you?"

"...a little bit."

So her movements became more gentle, gentle like a feather.

It's a pity that she took the medicine a little too fast, Lin Chen felt a little regretful, he still wanted to enjoy this kind of tenderness more.

Ke Yue slowly put down his clothes.

"Is it better?" Ke Yue made him a cup of strong tea.

"Well, it doesn't really hurt at all." Lin Chen smiled.

He turned around, only to notice that Ke Yue was only wearing pajamas, sitting beside him.

The slender ankles are exposed.

This is nothing, but looking up, the collar of the loose pajamas has long been unknowingly drooping down, barely covering the shoulders.

The delicate collarbone is revealed, and under the light, it looks like white jade.

Although the two scars on the collarbone were surgically sutured, although minimally invasive treatment was performed, they were not fully recovered after all, and some red marks could still be seen vaguely.

But a few strands of white hair fell down and scratched at the scar.

And, that small and exquisite Adam's apple.

He looked at Ke Yue and didn't move.

Under the warm light, Lin Chen's eyes, which were originally like autumn water, were even softer, glowing with a nice brown color, which was even better than the bright moon outside the window.

Xu Shi had been outside for a long time, and there was a puddle of moisture between his brows and eyes.

Lin Chen felt a little parched.

But a certain person didn't know it, a pair of peach blossom eyes that were naturally full of love flickered slightly, tilted his head, and asked with some doubts:

"what happened?"
