Chapter 42
Ever since he was with Shen Ci, Xu Qinghan has become more and more used to doing chores by himself. He didn't even know how to tie his belt back then, but now he can handle most of the daily chores. A few days ago, he even learned how to make a fire and boil water.
The two worked together, Shen Ci was in charge of holding firewood, lighting the fire and carrying water, Xu Qinghan was in charge of washing teapots and teacups, and not long after, warmth rose in the cold little room.Xu Qinghan's task was easier than Shen Ci's. When Shen Ci was still sweeping the firewood debris on the ground with a broom, he was already sitting on the bed holding a teacup and warming his hands.He was so engrossed in thinking about things that the mouth of the teacup gradually tilted, and he didn't even notice the warm water spilling out.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Ci took the half-empty teacup in his hand, and wiped the dark water stain on his leg, "Is it cool? Hurry up and get under the covers."
Xu Qinghan came back to his senses, pulled Shen Ci by the arm and pulled him onto the bed, "You go in and warm my bed first."
Shen Ci reached out and touched the inside of the quilt, and it was really cold.He couldn't help but tuck Xu Qinghan into the quilt, pinched the two corners of the quilt and pressed him against the bed to prevent him from getting out, bit the tip of his nose and said maliciously, "Otherwise, the two of us exercise, it will be hot."
"Go away, are you a big bad wolf? You want me for twelve or three days in half a month!" Xu Qinghan kicked his legs to protest, "Two days off, you are not allowed to touch me during these two days."
Shen Ci placed a kiss between his eyebrows, "I will listen to my lord." He took off his coat and got into the bed, hugged Xu Qinghan and said, "Go to sleep."
"So obedient today?" Xu Qinghan was a little surprised, when did Shen Ci become so easy to talk, he obviously didn't stop eating before wiping it off.
"Why, you actually want it?" Shen Ci slid his hand to his buttocks and touched it a few times.
"No, no, no!" Xu Qinghan quickly denied it, grabbed Shen Ci's hand and put it back to his side.
"Tomorrow is the 15th Lantern Festival, you have to go to the palace early in the morning to greet your brother, what can you do if you don't have a good rest?" Shen Ci patted him on the back, "Sleep peacefully, I will wake you up tomorrow morning."
The journey was tiring, and Shen Ci provoked and tempted him almost every night. Xu Qinghan was really sleepy and exhausted, and he fell asleep in Shen Ci's arms with a dazed "um".
Shen Ci gently fiddled with Xu Qinghan's long hair, and soon fell asleep peacefully.
On the second day, when he arrived at Shen Ci, he woke up on time. Xu Qinghan slept in a shapeless sleep as usual, and lay on Shen Ci's body, breathing sweetly with his mouth slightly open.Shen Ci pressed the top of his head and shook, "It's time to get up, my lord."
Xu Qinghan didn't even open his eyes, he frowned, opened Shen Ci's hand and muttered, "Don't make noise, I'm so sleepy, sleep a little longer."
"I can't sleep anymore, I'm going to get up late." Shen Ci turned to poke his face.
Xu Qinghan retracted his head into the quilt coquettishly, "Good, let me sleep for a while."
"It's really not good, you get up quickly, or Bai Yiyi hurriedly jogged back."
Xu Qinghan simply ignored him.
Shen Ci had no choice but to touch his nose through the quilt and cover it to prevent him from breathing.Now Xu Qinghan couldn't sleep anymore, he crawled out of the quilt and threw himself on Shen Ci viciously, rubbing his hands on Shen Ci's face indiscriminately to vent his anger, "Bold and unreasonable, this king dragged you out and chopped you up!"
Shen Ci dotingly said, "Okay, okay, chop it up, put on your clothes first, don't freeze."
Xu Qinghan put on his clothes reluctantly, and was pressed by Shen Ci to tie his hair in front of the vanity mirror.Xu Qinghan was still dozing off while sitting on the small round stool, his body was crooked as if he was about to fall the next moment, and he didn't have the slightest intention of making a move.
Shen Ci stood behind him to let him lean on, bent over and took the wooden comb to smooth his hair.Xu Qinghan has always been well-dressed and well-fed, and there is no inconsiderate maintenance on his body, even his nails are shiny, his waist-length hair is even more soft and black, and the comb can hardly be hindered from combing from the top of the head to the end of the hair. Easy to comb through.Xu Qinghan's long hair was really soft and lovely, like a fine satin fabric that people couldn't put it down, so Shen Ci naturally combed it a few more times.
Xu Qinghan read slowly, "Once combed to the head, you don't have to worry about being rich; if you comb to the head twice, you will be free from disease and worry; if you comb to the head three times, you will have more children and live longer; if you comb to the end, you will have all the cases together." Eyebrows; two combs to the end, fly together with each other; three combs to the end, forever knotted and worn."
"What are you reading?"
Xu Qinghan pressed his face against his ribs, and said sullenly, "The hair combing song I sang when I married my daughter. Ah Ci, will we not be blessed by the elders in this life?"
"You and I are both men, and we are not tolerated by the world. You are His Royal Highness King Yan, and His Majesty can tolerate that you have a male favorite, and you are already spoiled by heaven. What else do you want?" He hugged The long hair hanging on Xu Qinghan's forehead was tucked behind his ears.
"I just feel sorry for you."
"You know, I don't care about these things." Shen Ci squatted beside Xu Qinghan, stroking his knee and said, "If you were thinking about this last night, it would be completely unnecessary."
"I can't force this matter, I'm just feeling emotional." Xu Qinghan opened his eyes and looked at him, pursed his lips and said word by word, "What I'm thinking about is——how can I tell Brother Huang today that I want to divorce my wife? matters." It's not a discussion, it's just an announcement.
Shen Ci sighed, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I'm not a merciful saint. To tell you the truth, I really want her to go. She killed me one after another, and I can't tolerate her. This matter is You did it for me, isn't it very motivating to think like this?"
"Yeah, you're so big-hearted and hateful that you complain about her, I really want to get her away." Xu Qinghan clenched his fists, looked directly at Shen Ci and said, "Ah Ci, she had a miscarriage back then. Is it really as you said?"
"It's absolutely true, there's nothing wrong with it." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "I thought you would believe me three years ago, but it's only now that you're willing to listen to me."
"It's not so much that I don't believe you, it's that I don't want to accept it." Xu Qinghan seriously reflected on himself, "I'm sorry for marrying her, but I made her pregnant again, which makes me ashamed to see you .I hope you will forgive me once, and we will be even, so I don't have to be so anxious. It just so happens that no matter how you look at it, the princess stands up for it. I am deceiving myself."
"In the end, you let me down again!" Shen Ci squeezed his chin and said, "Look, you owe so much debt, so you can be my wife in your next life, and pay it back to me little by little in bed."
