Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 52 Our Shadows Embrace Each Other (4k Chapter)

Time passed little by little. The weather was not very good, but the sun tried hard to tear through the obstructing clouds and sprinkled lightly on the balcony, just enough to moisturize Jiang Yun's slightly pale face and gradually help her restore her color.

Xu Zhe'an had seen her like this before, but because she was usually at school, the most he could do was help her get some hot water and calm her down.

It's natural to have a tingling feeling when the person you love sleeps quietly in your arms, but when you think of all the suffering she has endured over the years, you can't help but feel a little sad.

After confirming that Jiang Yun was asleep, he stroked her hair and whispered softly:
"I counted the days one by one, and it took seven whole years before I had the chance to see you again. Memories and dreams were my only way to see you before, so no matter what, I must keep you by my side until the end of my life..."

Xu Zhe'an was speaking sweet words that would make others blush and feel shy.

In his opinion, love should be open and honest. Life is too short. After experiencing the pain of regret once, one should naturally seize the rare opportunity.

For more than two hours, apart from his talking, there was also Jiang Yun's whimpering every once in a while, which made him think that she was about to wake up, but he didn't know that this was a unique characteristic of girls.

The longer he looked, the more fascinated he became. His pounding heart moved him to slowly bend down, and an uncontrolled kiss was successfully completed.

Even though I had promised Jiang Yun earlier that I wouldn't do that, I was betting that she wouldn't notice, and if I caught her I could use the excuse that I couldn't help it.

Just as she was mentally prepared and about to return to her original position, the hand clasped around her waist suddenly twitched, and then her face was held. It was all done by Jiang Yun who had just woken up.

"Did I say I couldn't help but believe it?"

Xu Zhe'an asked in a low voice.

But this time he didn't see any dissatisfaction in Jiang Yun's eyes. Instead, she was looking at him with curiosity.

"Big liar..."

Jiang Yun scolded in a gentle tone.

It was obviously your heartbeat that woke me up.

Xu Zhe'an knew that it was useless to explain. He had already succeeded. He felt that her hand pinching his face was a little cold, so he asked with concern:
"Is your stomach feeling better? Does it still hurt?"

Jiang Yun shook her head slightly.

"pain."

"I'll make you some ginger soup. Can you sit here for a while?"

Xu Zhe'an wanted to get up, but Jiang Yun refused. She moved closer and whispered softly in his ear:

"Don't go, just rub it for me...it's fine."

The weak words fell on deaf ears, and the voice returned to Xu Zhe'an's arm.

Hearing this, he winked and asked:

"Are you sure? You can't call me a hooligan."

"No, you're the best~"

Jiang Yun forced a smile, which touched Xu Zhe'an's heart directly. She looked like a sick beauty and was very lovable.

"I can't do anything about you. How are you going to repay me in the future?"

Xu Zhe'an said this half-jokingly, and Jiang Yun held his hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.

In the past, when she had a stomachache, she would just endure it, but at this moment, she just wanted to be a quiet little girl.

As for the return, I had thought about it a long time ago.

Jiang Yun said nothing, but just laughed secretly.

But the lower abdomen is not a place that can be easily touched by others, so she held Xu Zhe'an's wrists with both hands, feeling a little worried.

He didn't have time to think so much and kept looking for the right strength.

There is only one thing to take care of, no extra fat at all.

After a while, Xu Zhe'an heard the noise of range hoods being turned on upstairs and downstairs. He glanced at Jiang Yun's watch and saw that it was almost time for dinner. He asked:
"Should I make lunch or go out and buy it?"

"I'll do it when my stomach stops hurting. Thank you for your hard work today."

Jiang Yun seemed to be the embodiment of hard work, and Xu Zhe'an couldn't find any words to refute her for a moment.

After a moment's silence, he decided to speak first.

"Sister Yun, do you not trust me? I understand. You're worried that my cooking won't taste good, so you dislike me, right?"

When Jiang Yun heard this, she hurriedly explained:
"That's not what I meant. I'm giving you a reward. You haven't rested since this morning, so I wanted to show my appreciation."

There was panic in his words. He was afraid that Xu Zhe'an would think too much. It was not right or reasonable to let him pay alone.

"I see. If you touch cold water and your stomach hurts again in the afternoon, I won't care about you."

Xu Zhe'an pretended to scare Jiang Yun with an expressionless face, and was very dissatisfied with her idea of ​​not taking care of her body.

"Maybe I won't care tomorrow. Let's see what happens the day after tomorrow."

When he finished speaking, he thought he was cold-blooded and could always make Jiang Yun give up her ideas.

But Jiang Yun only thought that he was not that kind of person. She shook his wrist with both hands and begged:
"How about you help me cut it? I'll just be responsible for cooking. Does heartless brother Xu Zhe'an agree?"

"My hands are sore and I can't move."

Xu Zhe'an shrugged his shoulders slightly and shook his legs twice.

"My legs are a little weak, but it's not like someone is weightless."

"Brother has changed..."

Jiang Yun rolled her head back and forth on Xu Zhe'an's arm, looking at him with a wronged expression.

"Stop, I'm thinking about your health."

Xu Zhe'an had no intention of giving in on this matter. He wouldn't be living with her anymore, so if he didn't slowly recover, how could he expect a happy life?

"Well, let's not talk about this for now. Didn't you hear the compliment I just gave you? Can you say it again?"

Jiang Yun knew that her tricks of acting coquettishly were no longer effective, so she had to adopt a roundabout strategy.

Xu Zhe'an stopped what he was doing and slowly approached Jiang Yun until their foreheads touched.

Thinking she was going to be kissed, Jiang Yun closed her eyes when Xu Zhe'an lowered his head.

He only uttered two words slowly:
"Did not say."

Phew~ it was a false alarm.

It’s okay to be kissed now, but the first kiss will be most meaningful if it is saved for the day of confession.

Seeing that Xu Zhe'an refused, she had no choice but to beg in an even more pitiful tone:
"Just say it, Brother Xu~"

Please praise me. I usually don’t want to hear you say it all the time, but today I really want to be praised for once. I am your little fangirl...

She only dared to speak her mind in her heart, and if she said a word out loud she would have to find a hole to crawl into.

Xu Zhe'an sighed helplessly and really wanted to point at Jiang Yun's forehead and give her a good scolding.

"It's the weather in Jiangcheng at the end of May, and your hands are like ice. How can I praise you? Praise you for being hardworking and virtuous?"

"Well, this is a congenital physical problem. It happens every month... There's nothing I can do about it."

Jiang Yun explained helplessly.

She couldn't figure out what went wrong. In just a short while, Xu Zhe'an seemed like a different person and did not move in the direction she expected at all.

"How pitiful! How could someone be so pitiful?"

Xu Zhe'an suppressed his laughter and rubbed her belly while teasing:
"Your lips aren't even red, so you can tell you're not feeling well. I heard a kiss can quickly increase your temperature, would you like to try it?"

"Um... no."

Jiang Yun retracted her hand and covered her mouth.

"You kissed me back then, so don't push your luck. We're even now."

Xu Zhe'an showed an incredible expression.

"Is it fair?"

"Yeah, you did it when I wasn't aware, but I was doing it openly and honestly."

Jiang Yun answered with great confidence.

"Okay, there's no sincerity in wanting to hear compliments, ah."

As Xu Zhe'an spoke, his body was very upright and he consciously turned his face towards Jiang Yun, his meaning was very clear.

What? He really wants more and more. If I had known, I wouldn’t have kissed him secretly.

Now that the novelty has worn off, what will you do if you don’t want me anymore in the future? You won’t praise me anymore, and I won’t listen to your begging.

After Jiang Yun finished complaining about Xu Zhe'an in her heart, she decisively put her head in his arms.

"You really don't want to listen?" Xu Zhe'an pinched her face and asked.

"I'm not the one saying that. It's not up to me whether I listen or not. I need to get some sleep."

Jiang Yun's angry reply, because of her weakness, sounded no different from acting coquettishly, but it also had a unique charm.

Xu Zhe'an suggested:

"Good afternoon. I'll carry you to bed and let you rest later."

"Do not."

Jiang Yun withdrew her hands from Xu Zhe'an's wrists and clasped his waist tightly.

"Don't even think about it. I'm going to hang on you and tire you to death."

This was the cruelest thing she could think of. She was very unwilling to be teased continuously, mainly because she was the one being manipulated the whole time and had no sense of experience at all.

Xu Zhe'an clicked his tongue and criticized Jiang Yun's behavior.

"Hey, Sister Yun turned out to be a scoundrel too. This won't do. Could it be that you're a female hooligan?"

"You are the gangster."

Jiang Yun gently patted Xu Zhe'an's chest twice to express her dissatisfaction.

"If you tire me out, you'll have to go to and from school alone, and no one will praise your cooking."

As soon as Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, Jiang Yun raised her head again, looked at him resentfully and blamed him:

"Crow's Mouth, can you say something nice?"

"I have a lot of good things to say, so I'll tell you some of them reluctantly."

Xu Zhe'an cleared his throat and became serious. Jiang Yun pricked up her ears with anticipation.

"When I first met you, you were quiet and gentle, like an ordinary layer of white snow. As time went by, I discovered that you are also a person who loves to laugh and play, with rich thoughts and hard work. You have seen darkness but still remain kind, and you are reserved about human nature but treat it sincerely. Keep it up."

Every word was pleasing to her ears. Her first reaction to such praise was shyness, but she also liked to hear it. In her heart, Xu Zhe'an's mouth seemed to have magic.

"I've praised you enough, but I wonder if you've calmed down?"

Seeing that Jiang Yun was still savoring the moment, Xu Zhe'an interrupted her.

"I am white snow, and you are the scorching sun. If you melt me, I will definitely move closer to you."

Jiang Yun pouted and answered shyly.

"Am I hot? Why are your hands still cold, Sister Yun..."

Xu Zhe'an was very confused.

Jiang Yun decisively chose to avoid it and said with a smile:
"Let's not talk about this. Thank you for your compliment. I have to praise my brother too."

"No, the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he has no good intentions."

Xu Zhe'an didn't understand Jiang Yun's purpose and didn't dare to agree rashly.

Wow, did I really make you unhappy today? If I want to praise you, I just want to take the opportunity to say some nice words to you.

I was really wrong this morning. I misheard because I was anxious, but you didn't give me a way out and kept laughing at me.

"Listen."

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, shook Xu Zhe'an's arm, and blurted out all the words she had prepared in her mind.

"You say I'm good, but actually I want to say you're better. Because I'm the rose you raised with your own hands. I'm like you, I have your shadow on my body, your thoughts in my head, and I'm a part of you."

what?
Xu Zhe'an was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't believe that Jiang Yun in his arms could say this.

In the past, she would blush when I praised her twice, but when I said this, she didn't react at all, so I gave her a thumbs up and joked:

"I accept the compliment, rose with thorns."

Jiang Yun rubbed her head against Xu Zhe'an's shoulder, and he felt very confused.

"Sister Yun, if your head itches, you can tell me. Why do you keep hitting me with your head?"

"Stab you."

Jiang Yun couldn't help laughing after she finished speaking.

"You said I was prickly, so I'll prick you to teach you a lesson."

Xu Zhe'an thought that she must be feeling much better now that she could talk and laugh.

"You look like you're recovering well. Does your stomach hurt anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt, hehe~"

Jiang Yun put on a relaxed look, feeling alive again.

"Then I'll put you down and I'll go make you a bowl of noodles, okay?"

This time, Xu Zhe'an really wanted to put Jiang Yun down, as his legs were a little numb.

"Can we eat later? I want to go to the rooftop to bask in the sun."

By noon, the balcony could no longer receive sunlight. Jiang Yun pointed at the sun outside, which was much brighter than at 9 o'clock, her eyes full of longing.

She rolled over and got off the ground, leaning close to Xu Zhe'an's ear shyly.

"Give me a few minutes."

"Okay, I'll get two stools."

"No need to take it, just stand for a moment."

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, she went to the living room, picked up the things Xu Zhe'an bought, and went into the bathroom.

After waiting for her to come out, the two of them took the keys and went to the roof together.

She seemed to be much more energetic, but her walking was not at all worry-free.

When I got to the roof, I felt for the first time that the summer sun was so comfortable, not at all hot.

I don’t know if the heat in my body was sucked away by her. Even though the sun was shining at a temperature of nearly 40 degrees Celsius, I didn’t feel the heat.

"Be careful if you fall."

The girl in front of her was deliberately swaying left and right, bumping into herself from time to time. She found it very interesting and was as happy as a little child.

Jiang Yun didn't take it seriously and had her own plans in mind.

If I fall, won't I be able to rely on you all day?

On second thought, it’s better not to do it. I’m already afraid of the pain.

Xu Zhe'an admired her childishness, mainly because he had been watching her for a long time, and was so engrossed in watching her, that he heard her soft voice.

"Will you play with me for a while?"

Jiang Yun extended her hand and invited.

"Hmm? Pick me up and spin me around?"

This was all Xu Zhe'an could think of. As for other toys that children played with, he didn't know how to make them.

"fool."

Jiang Yun supported him and corrected the angle to face the sun sideways, making the shadow very long.

"Just don't move."

"How can I cooperate with you if I don't move?"

"leave it."

Jiang Yun was looking for a place to sit on her own. She didn't dare to move too much and moved slowly around Xu Zhe'an.

As a result, she hadn't confirmed it yet, and Xu Zhe'an kept looking back, disrupting her plan.

"Don't peek."

"Okay, okay, but you have to tell me what you are doing."

Xu Zhe'an couldn't figure out the reason.

"I'll tell you when it's done."

Jiang Yun was behind Xu Zhe'an, fiddling with her shadow, sometimes standing on tiptoe to kiss him, sometimes squatting to hug his legs. She would not tell anyone what she had done.

Under the sun, the two of them seemed frozen in time, their shadows tightly embracing each other...
