Late at night.

The boy was lying on the bed with his injured back facing up, sleeping very restlessly.

Gu Peijiu sat on the side holding his hand and looked peaceful.

The moon was like water, and the candlelight was twilight, and the tourmaline said in a low voice, "Miss, you go to bed, I'll just look over here."

Gu Peijiu looked at the young man's frowning eyebrows, and closed his eyes for a long while, with a faint voice, "It's okay, you go and rest."

Tourmaline's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, "...Miss? You..."

Gu Peijiu looked at her sideways, the candlelight reflected in her dark eyes, quiet but not to be refused.

The tourmaline suffocated slightly, and finally lowered his head, and Nuno replied, "Yes."

The night is getting deeper.

The young man's hands were a little cold, and Gu Peijiu lowered his eyes, holding his hand and placing it under the quilt.

She doesn't quite understand why she cares about this child so much.

Is it because there are too many doubts?

It seems not.

I just feel... as if he should be his own.

Gu Peijiu's heart jumped, holding his hand tightly. Closing her eyes, she threw this strange idea aside.

... Maybe it's because I haven't slept well these few nights, that's why I have such weird thoughts.

Gu Peijiu smiled self-deprecatingly, then opened her eyes and looked at the boy on the bed. After a while, she took out a pill from her arms with her empty hand and slowly put it into the boy's mouth.

The boy frowned and looked uncomfortable, but he obediently swallowed the medicine.

As long as she holds his hand like this, he will be behaved no matter what she does to him.

Being well-behaved makes people feel soft, and being well-behaved is nothing like the romantic boy who is full of nonsense.

He seemed to instinctively trust the person called "Peas", no matter what that person might do to him.

After Gu Peijiu watched the teenager take the medicine, her brows stretched slowly, as if she was far away from the nightmare, and her hand was slightly loosened.

She paused and wanted to gently pull her hand out, but she only moved a little, and the slightly loose hand clenched instantly, tightly, and didn't want to loosen it at all.

"...Don't go."

He whispered lightly and hoarsely, softly as if afraid to scare someone, "Don't."

Gu Peijiu did not move any more.

Feeling that the hand didn't mean to leave anymore, the boy felt relieved.

Seeing the boy's brows stretched and sleeping peacefully, Gu Peijiu said in a low voice, "You sleep so peacefully."

Recently, she was playing Danfeng's game, and her affairs were complicated, and her eyes closed was a nightmare. She hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Xia Wuyin naturally couldn't answer her.

The night cicada screamed, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and Gu Peijiu was held by the young man, hiding the tiredness of his eyes, and slowly closing his eyes.

She too... Take a break.

No dream for a night.

Stable till dawn.

The medicine pill worked, the pain of the wound was reduced, and the system that had fallen into a semi-failure due to the impact of the spiritual energy also began to gradually wake up as Xia Ge's body recovered.

The next day.

Gu Peijiu opened her eyes, and the tears of the candle on the table were dead. Looking at the morning light outside the window, she was a little lost.

Actually... didn't wake up.

There are no nightmares.

It's steady, as if she just closed her eyes, and then opened her eyes and it was dawn.

The early morning light in the east passed through the green curtain, very soft. The boy was fed by her a soothing pill that can relieve the pain, and he seemed to sleep very peacefully.

The morning chicken crowed, and the tourmaline's voice rang, "Miss? Are you getting up? Can I come in?"

Gu Peijiu paused, and whispered, "Come in."

The tourmaline lifted the curtain and came in. The warm yellow morning light was accompanied by the mist floating in the mountains. She was surprised to see her undressed lady beside the boy's bed, "Miss, you... this..."

She was distressed and angry, "Let the tourmaline take care of it, you have to deal with Danfeng things today, you will break down like this!"

Gu Peijiu shook his head and said quietly, "Not tired."

She was telling the truth.

This is her best sleep these days.

She turned her eyes slightly, looking at the hand held tightly by the young man, for a long while, she found an explanation.

Once people are dependent on others, they will unknowingly make themselves stronger.

Become the one who is worthy of being depended on by others.

And now.

——She was convinced by this child, holding hands like this.

Whether she is the person in the other's heart or not, she is trusted.

And she Gu Peijiu, never disappointed anyone's trust.

So instead of overcoming the nightmare like this.

Gu Peijiu was thinking about it here, but Xia Wuyin still held Gu Peijiu's hand without loosening it, seeing the tourmaline a bit angry.

"Does this kid pretend to be sleeping at your advantage?" Tourmaline wrinkled his nose. "Did you rest like this last night? How could this be?"

Gu Peijiu just said, "He is still young."

"It's not young, I heard he is thirteen years old." Tourmaline said, "Miss, you are only three years older than him."

"It's okay." Gu Peijiu asked, "How's the game going? Is there any file sent over there?"

"some."

Gu Peijiu said, "Clean up and bring the files over. I'll go through it today."

"Yes, miss."

Tourmaline took the lingering candle off the table, and simply tidied the room, "Miss...Do you want tourmaline to clean up today?"

Gu Peijiu glanced at her hand for a long while, "No, let's get some hot water and get the file."

"Yes."

After the tourmaline put hot water and the towel and left, Gu Peijiu wrung out the towel and moistened the boy's dry lips with water. He wiped the boy's face carefully, thought about it, and fed him a bigudan.

The young man held her hand, his slender eyelashes trembling, and obediently swallowed the pill. No matter what she did to him, he didn't resist, he was obediently like a big cat.

"I've always been so obedient..." Gu Peijiu fed him a little water, paused, and said to himself, "You won't get hurt, right."

Naturally, the teenager will not reply.

"Never mind."

When the tourmaline came in with a pile of files, Gu Peijiu over there was already reviewing the files. She put her hands on the table and wiped off her sweat. She was sitting next to the bed and was washing up and was reviewing the files with one hand. The girl said, "Miss, this is sent over today to be dealt with."

The Sanfeng disciple recruitment competition came to an end, but the subsequent detailed selection is the sole responsibility of the major disciples of each peak.

Gu Peijiu finished the final volume with one hand, and his voice was faint, "Well, let's put it there."

【drop--】

【Completed 100/100】

[Host spirit adjustment completed]

After Gu Peijiu finished speaking, she suddenly felt a slight looseness in her hand. She was startled slightly, and looked at the young man sleeping peacefully on the bed.

The tightly clasped fingers slowly loosened, his eyebrows and eyes are delicate, although his face is still pale, his expression is peaceful.

What she fed him yesterday was the profound level tranquilizing pill she had cultivated by herself before, which had the effect of relieving pain. In fact, according to common sense, he should let go after feeding the pill.

But when she twitched, he clenched again.

He regarded her as the person called "Peas", held her hand, trusted her, and panicked and worried about her leaving.

It's faith, and it's also a nightmare.

Now... the nightmare should be gone.

Also good.

With a light twitch, she easily took her hand out of the ten fingers that were stained with a little coolness. The slender and white fingers were exposed in the air, slightly cold.

...Like, something is missing.

Gu Peijiu's eyelashes moved slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She was so mad, she slowly put her hand down, and when the tourmaline was not paying attention, she quietly held the slightly cold hand in the teenager's quilt.

The touch is like cool jade, smooth and soft, but there is no temperature.

——It's too cold.

she thinks.

The body and spiritual power turned slightly, and the palm of his hand felt warm.

It's okay to help warm up.

Tourmaline came over and glanced at the hand of her own lady who was "pulled" into the bed by the young man, feeling uneasy, "Miss, why are you accustomed to him like this."

Gu Peijiu changed the dossier with one hand, his face was calm, "It's okay."

What more tourmaline had to say, he heard Gu Peijiu's instructions, "Go and show me the file with the results of yesterday's game."

The tourmaline didn't say much, and took the dossier and put it on the small table where Gu Peijiu was temporarily approving the dossier. The green curtain was opened, and the sun inside the room was warm. Tourmaline looked at the slight curvature of Gu Peijiu's lips, and suddenly felt inexplicable. In fact, my lady seemed to be in a good mood.

Gu Peijiu opened the file with one hand and saw the first page.

She paused slightly.

For a while, she lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and continued to turn back, page by page, for a long time, and finally closed, she was about to put it aside.

Tourmaline hesitated, "Miss, this...you haven't approved..."

Gu Peijiu looked up at her, her dark eyes were faint, "I know."

Then he asked, "How about Jianfeng and Beast Peak?"

"It's all pretty good... There is a genius boy from the Chang family at Jianfeng. He is very powerful. He is the first in all items in the preliminary round." Tourmaline thought for a while. "The Ye Ze you sent to Jianfeng has also settled down. Well, when the class starts, you can go to Jianfeng's disciples to practice swordsmanship."

"There is also the Beast Peak...Senior Brother Baili..." Tourmaline paused, and quietly glanced at the very peaceful young man sleeping on the bed, and said tactfully, "He seems to be very interested in this Junior Brother Xia. I asked him about his physical condition and hoped to come and visit him after waking up."

Gu Peijiu faintly refused, "Dignified Yifeng big disciple, how can you visit a disciple who has just entered the inner door? I'm not proper, so I refused."

The disciple who just entered the inner door?

Tourmaline glanced at the dossier subconsciously, and then tentatively asked, "After Junior Brother Xia is healed, should he let him go..."

"Don't go."

The sun was warm and soft on the delicate and white cheeks of the girl in the red and white maple coat, reflecting her dark and cold pupils.

"My Danfeng disciple, don't visit outsiders."
