Even though he thought so, Bai Xianyu still didn't dare to slack off even a little bit.

The door was opened outwards, and the stars in the night were dim. The high wall seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil, and the entire imperial mausoleum was shrouded in it, adding a bit of mystery to it.

The darker it is outside, the brighter the candlelight inside seems to be. The girl's eyes are clear and bright, staring at the young man in front of her without blinking, not letting go of any changes in his expression.

Xie Xingyun had no unnecessary expressions and movements, only his eyebrows were tightly knitted. Bai Xianyu noticed that the veins on the back of his hands were popping up and his temples were twitching. She helped him sit down on the chair and closed the door.

Although it's safe, you still have to be cautious. After all, she has taken off the mask now and is her original appearance.

"How do you feel now?" Bai Xianyu went to pour him a glass of water and placed it in front of him.

Xie Xingyun waited for an unknown amount of time before he half-raised his eyes to look at her. His long eyelashes left a shadow on his eyelids, and he was already breaking out in a cold sweat. His thin pajamas were soaked with sweat, and his smooth muscle lines were revealed inadvertently. Bai Xian

The fish was stunned for a moment, his gaze briefly passing over the man's massive and powerful muscles.

Only then did she realize that the distance between the two had crossed a certain boundary.

"Xie Xingyun, your... robe is about to fall off, put it on quickly." Bai Xianyu stood up and reminded him: "You are sweating all over, I will have someone prepare water for you to bathe."

Xie Xingyun held his forehead, closed his eyes again, and said in a low voice, "You help me?"

"Don't you have any strength?"

"without."

Bai Xianyu saw that his weakness didn't look like he was faking it. Moreover, Gu Yu had said before that there would be some side effects after taking the medicine. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly picked up his clothes and pulled them up. Because she was a little strong, she directly covered half of Xie Xingyun's head.

The corners of the man's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Bai Xianyu groaned and lowered his voice a little, "Okay, is that okay?"

Xie Xingyun hummed, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. His eyes were focused on Bai Xianyu beside him, and he felt a little light-hearted.

Although he was not conscious when he got sick, he still remembered what he did and said afterwards.

Fortunately it was not a dream, she was still with him.

Bai Xianyu quickly put on the mask for herself. She was already very good at this matter, and she quickly changed it and asked someone to prepare water.

Xie Xingyun sat for a while, looking at his description at the moment, he seemed to realize that he was disheveled, and frowned slightly.

"Did you have a sudden attack while taking a bath just now?" Bai Xianyu walked in and took a breath, "I thought you left at some point and wanted to find you, but I found you playing with fire inside.

."

She gestured with her hand, "Take the fire folding book, saying that I am cold, and want to burn books to keep me warm..."

Xie Xingyun had a lazy demeanor after being tired. He closed his eyelids lazily and looked at her vivid words. The corners of his mouth slightly curved, "I remember."

"Just remember, don't play with such dangerous things next time. We are in the imperial mausoleum now. If you burn the official documents in the study and the emperor's memorials in the imperial study, it will be a big problem."

Bai Xianyu shuddered when he thought of that scene. There were so many people in the court who wanted Xie Xingyun's head. If he showed the slightest flaw, they would definitely swarm to attack him.

Especially since Xie Xingyun's illness is still so serious, I don't know how he got over it in the past few years.

Xie Xingyun looked at her with a smile, "Are you caring about me?"

Bai Xianyu choked and subconsciously wanted to refute, but he didn't know where to start.

Perhaps the current atmosphere is too harmonious, but coincidentally, Xie Xingyun's sudden illness has actually brought the distance between them closer. People who are too familiar with each other, even if they deliberately keep their distance, will inadvertently reveal some tacit understanding.

And familiar.

"We can be regarded as allies now. Since we are all on the same boat, it is understandable that I care about you." Bai Xianyu said seriously: "After taking the medicine, you shouldn't have recurrences, right?"

"Won't."

"That's good."

Xie Xingyun raised his lips and said with gentle eyes, "Thank you for your hard work."

Bai Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and he lay down with his face on the table, "Then you go take a bath quickly, I'm a little sleepy."

To be precise, I am tired and sleepy, my nerves are highly tense, and I have to always be prepared to deal with emergencies. I have been tense all night, and now I can hardly hold on anymore. I feel a headache just by using my brain a little.

"Okay." Xie Xingyun glanced at her and stood up slowly. Seeing her tired look, a warmth suddenly surged in his heart.

Bai Xianyu felt the man's shadow covering her, and her heart beat slightly faster. Just when she thought he was going to do something, the shadow disappeared.

Xie Xingyun left.

I closed the door before leaving.

Bai Xianyu was a little dazed. The moment he came closer and lowered his head, she actually felt that Xie Xingyun wanted to hug her to rest. When she realized what she was thinking, she gently twisted her arm and said, "...What am I thinking about?"

Woolen cloth."

One day she will figure it out, and so will Xie Xingyun.

Even if he had just said that he would not leave even if she held her sword against him, wasn't he just keeping his distance from her now?

Xie Xingyun will also be very proactive when he likes someone. In the past, if she said she was tired, he would not leave without asking anything.

Now that he has learned restraint, maybe that's a good thing?

Bai Xianyu thought clearly in his mind, but his chest felt a little stuffy for some reason, and the air in the room seemed to become much heavier all of a sudden.

She had never felt that Xie Xingyun's eyes were so understanding.

When he was hallucinating, he looked at her like she was a treasure, and she was the only one in his eyes. When he woke up, he looked at her carelessly, as if everything was just a passing cloud.

He doesn't care anymore.

Bai Xianyu took a breath and interrupted her thoughts. Maybe she was just not used to it. After she finished all this, she found a place with beautiful scenery to live in seclusion and lived happily for a few years. She might even forget Xie Xingyun's name.

.

At night, Bai Xianyu lit some incense to help her sleep. The cost of food and clothing in the imperial mausoleum was not much different from that in the palace. Soon after she lit it, she fell asleep.

After half an hour, the door was gently pushed open.

Bai Xianyu turned over, turned the quilt to his side, and continued sleeping without any sleep.

Xie Xingyun held a box of ointment in his hand and walked softly to her bed. Under the dim yellow light, the girl's eyelashes were long and slender. They trembled from time to time, like a frightened butterfly, but there was no sign of opening her eyes.

He swirled the ointment with his long fingers and pushed it gently on her forehead and temples. The girl seemed to feel comfortable in her dream, and took the initiative to rub it on his hand. Her bright red lips were slightly opened, red.

Like a new-born cherry.
