Chapter 192 Dream?
Chapter 192 Dream?
Yuxi called Kai anxiously, but the other party still showed no sign of waking up.
Just as he was about to untie Kai's clothes to cool him down physically, he suddenly stopped.
"He once said... that he has the protection of the magic armor, so nothing serious should happen to him."
Yuxi talked to herself, but she still couldn't help worrying.
"Maybe he's just pretending to sleep now."
Yuxi tried to dispel his anxiety, but a voice deep in his heart told him that he couldn't just let it go.
At this moment, King Zhou's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Yes, you should stay away from him!"
Yuxi hesitated for a moment, and at this moment, Anke's soft crying sound came from next door.
He reluctantly covered Kai with the quilt, turned around and walked out of the cave and came to Anke.
"Why are you crying all the time?" Yuxi asked, frowning.
"Do you dislike me?" An Ke choked, her eyes full of grievance.
Yuxi sighed softly: "I don't dislike you, don't think too much."
"You really don't find me annoying?" Tears glistened in An Ke's eyes, as if she was seeking a little comfort.
Yuxi touched her head and said, "Silly girl, why would I find you annoying? Your tears are about to freeze. Stop crying."
An Ke quickly wiped away her tears and looked at Yu Xi carefully: "So... do I look better now?"
Yuxi smiled slightly: "It looks much better."
An Ke blushed, and she whispered, "Yuxi, I'm so cold, the quilt is freezing, can you sleep with me?"
Yuxi stared into her eyes, trying to find the real answer: "Just because it's cold? No other meaning?"
An Ke's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Really... I'm just cold."
Yuxi didn't hesitate any longer. He lay down beside Anke and gently covered her with the quilt: "Then let's sleep together."
They lay side by side, but Yuxi was thinking of Kai: "I hope you can understand and stop bothering me."
But he didn't notice An Ke's slightly pouting lips and slightly disappointed expression in the dark.
As the night deepened, the breathing of the two people gradually became synchronized, and the atmosphere in the cave gradually returned to calm.
……
Her thoughts gradually came to an end, and when she regained consciousness, Yuxi felt as if she was restrained by an invisible force, unable to move her body or speak.
He tried to open his eyes, and saw a familiar room. There was a small table beside the bed, on which was placed a pot of cactus and a plate of crystal clear grapes.
Yuxi thought to herself, "Is this... the place where I woke up in this world? I remember sleeping in a cave before, am I dreaming?"
Just when Yuxi was feeling confused, someone suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.
Looking closely, it was Kai.
He was holding a wooden bucket in his hand and walked slowly to Yuxi's side.
Yuxi was shocked: "Kai? How could I see him in my dream..."
"You haven't showered in two days. Wipe your body."
Before he could figure out what was going on, Kai started to take off his clothes after he opened his mouth.
Then, Kai picked up a towel and carefully wiped Yuxi's body.
At this moment, Yuxi was like a vegetative person who had lost the ability to move. She could only watch Kai manipulate her body without any power to resist.
Kai wiped it carefully while talking softly to Yuxi.
"Today, Team Hua brought back a little half-blood demon. The child is very naughty and mischievous. It is said that he is Shou Yue's younger brother!"
Kai raised his lips slightly and continued, "As soon as the little guy arrived here, he plucked Su Lie's flowers and gave them to Shou Yue... Shou Yue had no choice but to go to the market to buy a new pot of flowers to make amends to Su Lie. But until now, he hasn't come back... So tonight we can only taste the dishes cooked by the Flower Team."
At this point, Kai couldn't help but chuckle, and gently kissed Yuxi's forehead, adding: "Remember? The first time you tasted the dishes made by Hua Team, you almost vomited."
Yuxi was in a complicated mood, thinking to herself: "What kind of weird dream did I have?"
After wiping, Kai carefully picked up Yuxi and let him lie safely on the bed.
However, every midnight, Kai would be awakened by nightmares and anxiously reach out his hand to check Yuxi's breath.
When he could feel his warm breath, Kai let out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm really afraid that one day you will stop breathing without any warning." Kai muttered to himself, feeling unspeakably worried.
He lit the oil lamp, his eyes fixed on Yuxi, and could no longer fall asleep.
Yuxi opened her eyes wide, staring at the face that was very close to her, and her gaze was involuntarily fixed on the other person's eyes.
"It turns out his eyelashes are so long...his skin is glowing...what a weird guy." Looking at Kai, Yuxi couldn't help but think in her heart.
"Gugugu∽∽"
However, at this moment, Yuxi's stomach made a rumbling sound at an inopportune time.
Kai seemed to notice it and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
After saying that, he slowly stood up, reached out to pick up the grapes on the table, peeled them one by one with skillful movements, and put them into his mouth to chew.
Then Kai approached Yuxi and fed him.
Seeing this, Yuxi felt a strange feeling in her heart, and she felt a little nauseous: "It's a bit disgusting..."
After feeding Grape, Kai turned and left.
Not long after, he returned to the room with a bowl of slightly thick soup in his hand.
Kai smiled and told Yuxi: "This is made with goat milk and rice paste. I added some sugar, it should taste good."
Although Yuxi could not make any response, Kai still enjoyed talking to him.
Kai planned this and said, "I will learn some home cooking from Shouyue in the future."
He made up his mind secretly and looked into the distance with firm eyes, as if he had already seen his future self busy in the kitchen.
"When you wake up, I can cook it for you."
After feeding the baby the rice porridge, Kai gently placed the bowl on the table.
At this time, Yuxi, because she had been maintaining the same posture, her originally tense muscles began to twitch uncontrollably.
"Damn it... am I cramping?"
Yuxi thought to himself, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He tried to move his body, but he was completely unable to move, as if he was restrained by an invisible force.
At this moment, Kai's hand slowly reached out and gently reached into the edge of his clothes.
The warm hand kneaded his back inch by inch, and each pressure was just right, stimulating his muscles and allowing them to gradually relax.
"Huh - a little comfortable..." Yuxi couldn't help but let out a sigh, and her originally tense mood gradually relaxed with Kai's massage.
The feeling was both strange and wonderful, and he couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
Time passed minute by minute, and Kai concentrated on massaging Yuxi's body, feeling the changes in his muscles.
By the time the last stiff muscle was loosened, it was almost dawn.
Yuxi could only lie in bed unable to move every day, spending his time in silence. His world seemed monotonous and silent.
The seasons outside the window are changing rapidly, spring goes and autumn comes, and another cold and hot season comes.
The three winter months were unbearable, with the daytime cold biting into the bones. Jia would sometimes be called out to wipe out the demons, leaving Yuxi alone in bed. After a long period of motionlessness, her body became extremely cold.
"Why hasn't he come back yet..." Yuxi muttered helplessly in her heart.
When Kai finally returned, he was covered in blood, obviously having just experienced a fierce battle.
Yuxi saw him hurriedly take off his armor, wearing only a white inner garment, and then he quickly hugged her, using his body temperature to bring some warmth to the cold quilt.
Only after he had warmed up the bed did Kai wash the blood-stained clothes.
Yuxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "I suddenly feel a little pitiful for him..."
In order to prevent Yuxi from suffering from the cold again, Kai would fill a sheepskin bag with hot water when he left, seal it with a wooden stopper and put it in the quilt, so that Yuxi could keep warm.
However, over time, the corks began to loosen due to excessive use.
One time, when Kai came back, he found the bed full of water stains and Yuxi's feet were slightly red from being burned.
Kai's face was full of pain and he slapped himself angrily.
Yuxi saw that his face was immediately swollen with slap marks, and couldn't help thinking: "You hit yourself so hard... You are such a ruthless person."
Kai felt extremely guilty: "I'm sorry, I won't be so careless next time... forgive me..."
After saying that, he tidied up the wet quilt, picked up Yuxi and returned to the bed, kissing his palm repeatedly to apologize.
Although Yuxi couldn't respond, she was a little shaken in her heart: "Don't kiss me... Well, forget it, just kiss me. You are also a pitiful person..."
Time passed, and it was another day.
Yuxi finally couldn't help but complain: "Why am I still not awake?"
His consciousness was still trapped in chaos, as if bound by an invisible force and unable to break free.
In reality, Kai stared at Yuxi lying on the bed with the same worry, muttering to himself: "Why aren't you awake yet..."
Not only were they confused, at this moment a figure appeared at the door.
Yuxi's blurred vision gradually became clear, and he saw a woman with flaming red hair gently knocking on Kai's door.
Hua Mulan walked into the room, looked at Kai with concern, and asked softly, "Has he not woken up yet?"
Kai nodded silently in response.
Hua Mulan placed the can of goat milk on the table and said gently, "This is the goat milk I brought back from the market. It will supplement his nutrition."
Kai looked at Hua Mulan gratefully and said, "Thank you, Captain Hua."
However, Hua Mulan seemed to have something else to say. After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Kai... let me ask you, if he doesn't wake up... I mean if. Do you want to keep taking care of him like this? Have you ever thought about your future?"
Facing Hua Mulan's question, Kai's eyes were firm and resolute, and he answered decisively: "Then I will take care of him all my life."
His voice was sonorous and powerful, without any hesitation or retreat.
Mulan looked at Kai's determined expression and knew that saying anything more would be useless.
She turned around silently and slowly walked out of the room, leaving Kai alone by Yuxi's side.
Kai sat quietly beside the bed, holding Yuxi's hand tightly, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what the cost, he would make Yuxi wake up.
The days passed one by one, and Kai not only fed Yuxi food every day, but also kissed him countless times.
He would calmly tell Yuxi about the situation at the border, sometimes with newly bought clothes and a childish smile: "You look best in white clothes."
Every year on the Reunion Festival, Kai would carry Yuxi to a small mining area, point to an amber stone and say, "I hope you can bring me here next year and give me this gem."
His wish was always simple, and he repeated the same words every year: "I think its color is very similar to your eyes."
As Yuxi listened to these words, tears rolled down his cheeks unconsciously. His heart was so blocked that he couldn't help crying.
My vision gradually blurred, and my heart was filled with endless gratitude and guilt.
……
After regaining consciousness, Yuxi sat up.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.
The environment he was in was dark and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of earth.
In the dull cave, the soft woman's body was wrapped around him like a spring snake. Yuxi moved her body gently so as not to wake her up, and got up and quietly returned to her own cave.
Returning to the cave, Yuxi discovered that Kai had disappeared.
In the empty cave, there were only a few scattered clothes and some daily necessities, making it look extremely deserted.
He sat on the cold rock, staring at the exit of the cave in a daze, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
Just as he was immersed in his emotions, a pair of warm hands gently hugged him from behind.
An Ke's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of concern: "Yuxi, why are you up so early?"
Yuxi was slightly stunned, then replied softly: "I had a very strange dream."
"What dream?" An Ke asked curiously.
Yuxi was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Maybe, that wasn't a dream."
After saying that, Yuxi slowly untied Anke's hands and stood up.
His eyes were firm and deep, as if he had made some important decision.
"Where are you going?"
An Ke looked at Yuxi's actions in surprise. She seemed to sense something, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her voice unconsciously.
Yuxi did not answer, but looked at An Ke deeply, and then said lightly: "Go find an old friend."
