The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

After a busy day, Ji Fengyan finally had time to rest a little. She lay in bed, too lazy to move. But when she remembered that she had been about to cozy up to little Liu Huo, she diligently climbed out of bed.

But before she could exit the room, someone was already knocking on the door. Ji Fengyan pushed open the room door and saw Liu Huo standing in the moonlight outside her room.

It had been an upsetting day, and noise had surrounded Ji Fengyan all day. But at this moment, when she saw Liu Huo standing outside, it was such a wonderful and quiet sight that her rather impetuous heart calmed down.

“Little Liu Huo, we really think alike. I was just about to look for you.” Ji Fengyan spoke smilingly and without standing on ceremony, she reached out to pinch Liu Huo soft, white cheek.

This touch was truly incomparable!

Liu Huo looked at Ji Fengyan expressionlessly. His eyelashes cast a shadow on his calm eyes, veiling his clear eyes like dusk.

Only Ji Fengyan’s outline was in his eyes.

“Can’t sleep.” Liu Huo spoke suddenly.

Ji Fengyan laughed softly. “What happened? You’ve seemed rather restless for the past few days. Has something happened?”

Liu Huo shook his head.

Ji Fengyan tactfully did not pursue the matter. Ever since they had returned from the capital’s graveyard, something had been amiss with Liu Huo.

When she looked at Liu Huo’s morose appearance, Ji Fengyan could not resist teasing him.

“Since you can’t sleep by yourself, why don’t I sleep with you?” Ji Fengyan’s smile was malicious.

However…

Liu Huo’s body stiffened involuntarily, but he quickly lifted his eyes to look at Ji Fengyan and his thin lips curved slightly.

“All right.”

“…” Now Ji Fengyan was taken aback.

How strange. Ordinarily, the little fellow stiffened and froze if she teased him. But today…

She raised her head almost habitually and felt Liu Huo’s forehead. “No fever either.”

Liu Huo’s lips smiled faintly, his eyes were downcast and his long lashes hid his expression. He asked softly, “Can’t I?”

Ji Fengyan, “…”

She increasingly felt that something was amiss with Liu Huo. But when she saw his forlorn expression, Ji Fengyan was unable to speak another word. She reached out to hold Liu Huo’s hand and strode towards the bed.

Liu Huo was dragged along by Ji Fengyan. His eyes remained on Ji Fengyan’s heels, looking preoccupied.

[I will never see that fellow again. I hate him to death.]

Ji Fengyan’s past words reverberated constantly in Liu Huo’s heart, each time scraping another layer of flesh off his heart.

The pain rendered him speechless.

She… hated him so much…

Liu Huo had been unwittingly dragged to the bed by Ji Fengyan. Before he could recover his wits, his backside was resting on the soft covers.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ji Fengyan, who was standing in front of him.

Thud…

Ji Fengyan’s small hand pushed Liu Huo’s shoulder. The force she exerted was neither too light nor too heavy. Liu Huo fell directly onto the bed.

He stared in shock as Ji Fengyan took off her outer robes and lay next to him. His face reddened uncontrollably.

Ji Fengyan lay on the outer side of the bed and nonchalantly patted Liu Huo’s chest that was rapidly rising and falling.

“Be good and have a good sleep.” When she had spoken, she closed her eyes.

But…

Liu Huo’s eyes were wide open. He really… could not sleep at all.
