Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer returned to the main courtyard, but was dragged back by Li Chenbi that very night.

Unlike the shock of the servants in the side courtyard, the servants in the main courtyard were already used to it and were not surprised at all. They even went to make preparations very quickly.

We need to boil water; boiling water is the most important thing.

Li Chenbi put his arm around Fan Liuer and walked upstairs. Fan Liuer was still a little dazed at this moment.

It wasn't that I was stunned by returning to the main courtyard, but rather by Li Chenbi's behavior just now.

After the two finished eating the last sweet potato from the stove hole, Li Chenbi asked someone to bring water.

Tell her to wash her hands and face.

Fan Liuer thought she was to wash herself, but Li Chenbi put his hand in first, tested the water temperature quite naturally, and then beckoned to her.

"Put your hand in."

Fan Liuer obediently put her hand in the water, and the temperature she touched was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.

However, this temperature should be considered too hot for Li Chenbi.

But his expression seemed fine, and he didn't seem uncomfortable at all. Didn't he feel hot?

Just as she was thinking this, her hand tightened, and several of her fingertips were gripped. Li Chenbi held her fingers with both hands and carefully rubbed the black ash off them.

He washed very carefully, so carefully that he would frown and scrub hard a few times when he encountered areas that weren't clean enough.

He only remembered after he finished rubbing, and then opened his eyes to look at Fan Liuer again, lightening the pressure on his hands.

"Does it hurt?"

To be honest, it hurts a little.

But Fan Liuer didn't dare to be too honest now, so she could only shake her head and say, "It doesn't hurt."

One reason was that she didn't dare to be honest, and another was that she was somewhat dazed.

Li Chenbi actually condescended to wash her hands?

Although he usually indulged her a little and would take the initiative to do things for her, those things were limited to the bedroom.

He didn't do any of those things after getting out of bed.

Washing her hands wasn't enough, so Li Chenbi asked for a basin of clean water, wet a cloth, and carefully washed her face.

She insisted on doing it herself, but Li Chenbi complained that she didn't wash it properly.

Fan Liuer was in a daze as Li Chenbi helped her wash her hands and face, then covered her from head to toe with his outer robe and led her away from the side courtyard.

She didn't say a word the whole way, still in a daze.

Li Chenbi didn't say anything either.

He didn't speak until he reached his room door, but he said it to Li Qiuping, "Make sure the downstairs is tidied up. I'll stay downstairs tonight."

Li Qiuping immediately went to do it, while Li Chenbi stood still, pulling Fan Liuer completely into his arms and asking, "Are you cold?"

Fan Liuer shook her head; she wasn't cold.

Although it's autumn now, she was wearing many layers and was being held by Li Chenbi, who was very warm, so she didn't feel cold at all.

I have some doubts.

Why live downstairs?

Even if Li Chenbi came home late in the past, he would always take her upstairs. Why is she going to sleep downstairs tonight?

"The ice detector in my room hasn't been removed yet."

Autumn has arrived, and unlike the sweltering heat of summer, most people are already using thicker quilts to keep warm.

For him, it will be some time before the ice-cold mirror is removed.

But for Fan Liuer, it was no different from how ordinary people spent the winter; she was already bundled up just as thickly as everyone else.

If I were to enter his room now, my body definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

Fan Liuer naturally understood the meaning behind his words, and felt increasingly strange.

This strange feeling was something she couldn't quite understand herself; it left her with a bittersweet feeling, as well as a flutter in her heart.

Suddenly feeling flustered, she turned her face away, unable to meet Li Chenbi's gaze any longer.

It felt like I'd been caught stealing; my heart was pounding.

Li Chenbi was unaware of her unusual behavior and was still assigning tasks to the servants beside him.

"Make sure the bed is thick, the blankets are thick, and hot water is always available."

Once everything was arranged, Li Chenbi led Fan Liuer downstairs.

After entering the room, he dismissed the servants.

Fan Liuer suddenly panicked and was at a loss for what to do, standing in front of the bed.

There was no ice in the room, and even with the door closed, the temperature was still a bit hot for Li Chenbi.

He started to take off his outer garment.

Fan Liuer swallowed hard, then stammered, "This...we're starting right away?"

She remembered that Li Chenbi used to like to kiss first, and then take off his clothes while kissing.

She was a little embarrassed when he took off his clothes right away.

Li Chenbi stopped undressing, turned his head to look at her, and asked with a puzzled look in his eyes, "When do you start?"

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow, realizing what was going on, and his eyes filled with mockery, "Otherwise what?"

Fan Liuer felt even more uncomfortable under his gaze. She looked away and stared at the bed curtains beside her. "Hmm...no...no kissing?"

Li Chenbi walked up to her, tilted his head to look at her, and asked, "You really want to kiss me?"

Fan Liuer blushed slightly at his question and stepped back, "I didn't."

Li Chenbi pressed closer again, "You don't have anything?"

Fan Liuer couldn't retreat any further; the bed was right behind her.

Reaching out, she pressed her hand against Li Chenbi's chest, feeling his burning body temperature.

Very comfortable.

It felt really comfortable. The moment she touched it, Fan Liuer felt her hand enveloped in warmth, the coldness on her hand was forced away, and the warmth seemed to penetrate into her bones.

It made her reluctant to let go, and she even wanted to feel more, wanting to cling to him completely.

Is it because the temperature is too low now?

Why did she feel that Li Chenbi was hotter than before?

It's also more attractive to her.

Li Chenbi watched as the clarity in her eyes gradually faded, and watched her become fascinated by her own body temperature, and he couldn't help but find it amusing.

He said, "Just wait and see, one day she'll come begging to me."

It's only autumn, and she's already like this. If winter comes, she probably won't be able to live without him.

At the same time, she was also a little angry, angry that after spending so much time together, all she was attracted to was this body.

If she lost this body, she probably wouldn't even glance at him.

Doesn't this prove that he has no attraction for her at all?

This is a truly frustrating reality.

Li Chenbi was furious. Why did she look down on him?

If she can't even find someone like him attractive, then what kind of person is she looking for?

The thought made Li Chenbi feel even worse.

"You don't want to kiss me, or you don't want to kiss me at all?"

"Fan Liuer, if you don't like me, then who do you like?"

When she asked this question, her aura changed, becoming extremely oppressive, forcing Fan Liuer to back away and fall heavily onto the bed.

He instinctively leaned back to avoid Li Chenbi's body pressing down on him.

"I...I don't like anyone."

Li Chenbi knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, leaned down and pressed down, trapping Fan Liuer between his arms.

His face hovered above her, staring at her aggressively, "Since you don't like anyone else, why don't you like me?"

Fan Liuer knew that Li Chenbi could be unreasonable at times, but she didn't expect him to be this unreasonable.

"Does not having someone you like mean you have to like me?"

"right."
