The Three Kingdoms: The entire Cao Cao camp thought I was weak and frail.

Xun Hao's brows furrowed even more. He moved to the side, trying to create some distance.

Guo Jia, however, followed him even more aggressively, teasing him in an even more intimate tone: "Don't be so disrespectful, Xiao Haozi."

The nickname "Little Haozi" made Xun Hao's eye twitch slightly.

He was about to speak up and tell this boring guy to get away from him.

But just as Guo Jia approached, something happened that caught Xun Hao completely off guard.

The chill that had lingered within him for the past two years, like a leech clinging to his bones, making him constantly feel depleted and cold, was suddenly dispelled by a surge of warmth.

The feeling... was like being shivering in the dead of winter when you were suddenly enveloped by a warm fireplace.

The stiffness in my limbs and bones was instantly relieved, and even the chest that had been aching felt much lighter.

Comfortable……

so comfy.

Xun Hao froze, as if struck by lightning.

He suddenly raised his head, and for the first time, his usually calm eyes flashed with unbelievable shock and light. He stared intently at the frivolous young man in front of him. What was going on?

Why does that feeling of emptiness disappear from my body as soon as he gets close?

Is it...

This person... something about him can replenish the life force I lost by using [Legacy]?

In an instant, Guo Jia's image in his eyes completely changed.

He was no longer a stranger, no longer his brother's friend, and no longer a frivolous prodigal son.

He is medicine!

Guo Jia was taken aback by his sudden reaction.

What's wrong with this child?

One second he was like a little ice cube, indifferent and unresponsive, but suddenly his eyes lit up as if he had found a treasure, staring straight at him as if he wanted to devour him.

That gaze was so focused, so pure, that it made him feel a little embarrassed to continue teasing her.

"Ahem..." Guo Jia felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but he just assumed that the child was shy and curious about him, which made him even more amused.

"What's wrong? Are you captivated by my charm?" He said casually, but his hand unconsciously reached out and ruffled her soft hair.

It feels really good.

Her hair was fine and soft, like the finest silk.

"Wenruo's younger brother is such a pitiful little thing," Guo Jia thought to himself.

This child is indeed very beautiful, but he is too thin and his complexion is not good. He looks like he was raised on medicine. No wonder Xun Yu cherishes him like the plague.

Xun Hao, whose head he was rubbing, was in a state of extreme excitement.

The moment Guo Jia's palm touched his head, the warm current became clearer and more powerful. If just being near it before felt like soaking in a hot spring, now it was like jumping directly into the source of the hot spring!

Warm, comfortable, and a sense of security like never before.

Xun Hao could even feel that his perpetually cold hands and feet were beginning to warm up.

He greedily savored this hard-won warmth, his body even tilting his head slightly involuntarily, wanting to get closer to that warm, large hand.

"Fengxiao, stop fooling around."

Xun Yu's voice rang out just in time, carrying a hint of helpless reproach.

He walked over and pulled Guo Jia away a little.

"Ah-hao is shy around strangers, don't frighten him."

With Guo Jia's departure, the warmth instantly diminished. Although it didn't completely disappear, the feeling of having regained something only to have it slip away again left Xun Hao with a sense of emptiness.

He instinctively raised his hand and grabbed the other person's sleeve.

Those clear eyes seemed to be filled with the message, "Don't go."

Guo Jia's heart softened for no apparent reason.

"Alright, alright, I won't scare him anymore." He raised his hands in surrender and smiled at Xun Yu, "But Wenruo, your younger brother is really interesting. I have a feeling he might like me quite a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu glanced at his younger brother. He saw Xun Hao staring intently at Guo Jia, his focused expression bordering on "admiration."

He chuckled, assuming that it was Guo Jia's unconventional and dashing temperament that attracted his younger brother, who rarely interacted with outsiders.

"Ah Hao, this is Guo Jia, courtesy name Fengxiao, my close friend. You should call him Brother Fengxiao," Xun Yu introduced gently.

Xun Hao's gaze remained fixed on Guo Jia. He pursed his pale lips and called out in a very soft voice, "...Brother Fengxiao."

Guo Jia felt a strong urge to join in, and he smiled and replied, "Hey, good boy, Ahao."

At this moment, Xun Hao had a new goal in mind.

I must stay by this person's side! At all costs!

He used all his self-control to prevent himself from losing control and lunging at her on the spot.

Guo Jia was about to leave after the gathering ended. If they missed today, who knew when they would meet again?

Moreover, the feeling after replenishing the source of life is so wonderful that no one would want to think about those days when the cold seeps into every bone.

The time to test his acting skills had come. Xun Hao frowned slightly, swayed slightly, and leaned most of his body on Guo Jia's shoulder.

A weight settled on his shoulder, and a delicate medicinal fragrance mingled with the clean scent unique to young people wafted towards him.

Guo Jia was taken aback by this sudden "embrace".

He just wanted to tease this seemingly serious little guy, but he didn't expect the other party to react so strongly. Was he feeling unwell?

He subconsciously reached out and touched Xun Hao's shoulder, only to feel his thin frame; even through several layers of clothing, he could feel the bony bones.

"Hey, Ahao, are you alright? Wenruo, Xun Wenruo!" Guo Jia hurriedly called out to his friend who had been called away by someone else.

Xun Yu rushed over, taking three steps at a time. "Ah Hao, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to carry you back to rest?"

Neither being carried in a princess carry nor sitting in his brother's arms like a child was a way Xun Hao could accept.

Being carried away in front of everyone is just too embarrassing!

The brief "recharge" restored some of his strength and brought him back to his senses from that extreme comfort.

He knew that too much of a good thing could be bad.

Today is our first meeting, so we shouldn't overdo it.

So, he leaned on Guo Jia's shoulder and slowly straightened up. "Brother, don't worry. It's just that the sun is too strong, and I felt a little dizzy after sitting for so long, which is why I couldn't stand up straight. Thank you, Brother Fengxiao..."

Guo Jia felt a sense of comfort at being called "elder brother".

"It's alright." He waved his hand, looking nonchalant. "You're frail, so be extra careful in crowded places in the future."
