Chapter 1204: Meet You Again When Flowers Fall (3)
To Du Ruoheng, she was warning Huo Xiaoye, but to someone, this coquettish look seemed like a reward.
My mood, which had just calmed down, became excited again in an instant.
With a light cough, Huo Xiaoye took over the responsibility and ordered Hongdou, "Hongdou, you have nothing to do here. Your young lady and I have something to discuss. Please leave first!"
Hongdou glanced at Du Ruoheng, and after receiving the other party's affirmative look, she did not stop and left the room, closing the door tightly.
After everyone left, Huo Xiaoye simply stopped pretending and patted the empty bed beside him, calling Du Ruoheng's nickname affectionately: "Ning Nu, please sleep with me for a few hours! In order to come to see you earlier, I haven't slept for a whole day and night with my injuries."
Just now, for fear of making Du Ruoheng worry, he did not admit that he had been traveling all night. Now, he felt that saying a few more words would make the other party feel distressed, so Huo Xiaoye said it without reservation.
"It's always like this. When the injury heals, he slips out, and when he gets hurt again, he comes back again!" Du Ruoheng was so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't care that the man was still injured, and she twisted his waist and abdomen hard.
"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts so much!" Huo Xiaoye took the opportunity to groan again, as if his wound was torn again.
Du Ruoheng was also worried and hurriedly leaned over: "Where does it hurt? Are there any other wounds?"
Huo Xiaoye quickly brought the person into his arms, not daring to move too much and tear the wound, so he was a little slow.
However, this would not affect the outcome. After all, considering the other party's wound, Du Ruoheng did not dare to struggle.
With the beauty in his arms, Huo Xiaoye's heart was filled with emotion, and he couldn't help but make a new "request": "Ning Nu, can you call me Lu Lang? I haven't heard you call me that in a long time!"
Lu Lang is Huo Xiaoye's nickname, which means both fortune and luck.
When love is deep, there are always some little pleasures that are not told to outsiders, and calling each other by nicknames is one of them.
"You're injured like this, and you still have this thought!" Du Ruoheng poked the purple spot on the other person's forehead, "Close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm almost dying of sleep."
But Huo Xiaoye looked at Du Ruoheng with misty eyes, and he looked extremely aggrieved.
Seeing this, Du Ruoheng couldn't help but tease, "Look at yourself now. How can you still look like the Yongzhou Beijia Lord? If your subordinates knew about this, they would laugh at you to death."
"I don't care. I just want to hear you call me Lu Lang!" Huo Xiaoye's fever hadn't subsided yet, so he was a little confused. "Besides, why should I fight for face? I just want my wife. We can talk about other things later."
As if afraid that Du Ruoheng wouldn't believe him, Huo Xiaoye's expression was serious, and his whole body exuded an almost pious seriousness: "Ning Nu, no matter how far I go, I will come back. You are the most important person to me.
I've already told my uncle about your situation. When we return to Yongzhou City this time, we'll get married. They say a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's own body. You've saved me so many times, we should be husband and wife for the rest of our lives."
The more he talked, the more blurred his consciousness became. After all, Huo Xiaoye was indeed tired, but he was reluctant to fall asleep because he had not heard the word "Lu Lang".
With a soft sigh, Du Ruoheng patted her lover's back and whispered in his ear, "Lu Lang, go to sleep! I'll keep you company!"
Only then did Huo Xiaoye close his eyes willingly.
At this time, most of the candles in the room had gone out, leaving only one candlestick still lit.
As the candlelight flickered, Du Ruoheng looked at the young man beside her whose breathing was gradually stabilizing, and couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Huo Xiaoye - he was covered in blood, his legs were broken, and he could only crawl on his hands, but his eyes were surprisingly fierce.
It's like a wild wolf hunting at night, full of hostility.
After spending two years together, Huo Xiaoye has become a lot gentler, but he seems to have become more dependent on me.
She held the other person's fingers and murmured, "Fool!"
After all, it was late at night, so Du Ruoheng slowly fell asleep. But after she fell asleep, the man who should have been asleep opened his eyes again, endured his fatigue, hugged her in his arms, and kissed Du Ruoheng before closing his eyes again with contentment.
In this room filled with the aroma of medicine, the shadows of the two people overlapped on the wall, stretched very long by the candlelight.
Early the next morning, Qingyan, who lived in the outer courtyard, found that the inner courtyard, which should have been open long ago, had not yet opened, and he became a little worried.
But according to the rules, he could not enter and exit the inner and outer courtyards at will. Just when he was debating whether to break in, he saw his sister Hongdou standing at the inner courtyard door that had just been opened, looking as if she was still sleepy.
"What did you do last night?" Qing Yan looked at the dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Such heavy dark circles don't look like you didn't sleep well, more like you were beaten up!"
Hongdou: ...(＿＿)ノ｜How could a brother curse his own sister like that?
"I wasn't the one who was beaten!" Hongdou made things clear with just one sentence. After all, Huo Xiaoye and Qingyan were acquaintances.
Qingyan understood immediately: "Huo Xiaoye is here again. How could he not be so patient? We only have three days left to reach Yongzhou. Why is he running out here?"
