Chapter 371 The wool comes from the sheep
I originally wanted to play a trick on Xiao Yihuo. Thinking about his reluctant yet deliberately forbearing expression, it would definitely be very interesting.
But he didn't expect Xiao Yihuo to be so calm and indifferent, and seemed satisfied and happy about this little thing, which made Lin Lezhi feel helpless and at a loss as to what to do.
He took his eyes off Xiao Yihuo for a moment, scratched one cheek, and tried to ease the embarrassment. "...That's right, hot water bottles made from pig bladders are tough and don't break easily. They're convenient and warm to hold, and they're affordable, so many people do it."
Those who play tricks on others are always prone to feeling guilty.
Lin Lezhi took the hot pack from Xiao Yihuo's hand, quickly took out another thing from his sleeve and placed it in Xiao Yihuo's palm.
"I'm not teasing you anymore. Here, this is for you."
The moment Lin Lezhi took away the hot pack, Xiao Yihuo's eyes showed a moment of panic and daze, as if a beloved thing that he had worked hard to obtain was taken away.
But the object that replaced it in his palm calmed his expression again.
The object in his hand was heavy, wrapped in a layer of fine cloth, which warmed his cold hands and also melted the anxiety in his eyes.
Lin Lezhi placed the heating pad under Xiao Yihuo's quilt and said, "You can just put these heating pads inside the quilt and use them on a daily basis. The one in your hand is made of copper. Pour hot water into it and use a piece of cloth to keep it warmer and keep it warm longer. You can use it both outside and indoors."
I don’t know if it was the temperature in the quilt that gave Xiao Yihuo’s pale face some color, and his spirits improved a lot.
He tightened his grip on the thermos slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and jokingly said, "You're quite generous to buy it with other people's money and give it to others."
"..."
It could be seen that Xiao Yihuo felt much more comfortable and returned to his previous aggressive and sharp-tongued nature. With one sentence, he left Lin Lezhi speechless.
but……
The words are venomous but the logic is sound.
This thing was indeed not bought with Lin Lezhi's money.
Can……
Then again.
How could he have any money on him?
After what happened before, Lin Lezhi had no money left. In the future, Guan Ziheng would probably feel more at ease to keep the money on himself.
If I go back to ask Guan Ziheng for the money, he will definitely ask me what the money is for and then give me a severe scolding.
It would be better to ask Xiao Yihuo directly.
Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep.
"Don't put it down, bring it here!"
Lin Lezhi felt somewhat embarrassed and reached out to grab the thermos in Xiao Yihuo's hand, but Xiao Yihuo seemed to have seen through Lin Lezhi's intention. He took his hand away and hid it at his side, smiling and saying firmly, "I bought it with my money, so it's mine."
Lin Lezhi's stubbornness came up, and naturally he was not willing to be outdone. He continued to reach for the thermos beside Xiao Yihuo, and said confidently: "But you also said that your money is mine and I can use it as I please!"
result.
It would have been fine if he hadn't spent much money on Xiao Yihuo, but he had agreed to treat him to a meal and ended up losing twenty taels of silver. He hadn't settled the bill with Xiao Yihuo yet, but now he had clearly calculated what was yours and what was mine.
Xiao Yihuo was very reasonable, and with a smile in his eyes he said, "What I say always counts."
"When did it count?"
"I paid for all your food and drink in Zhouqing Town, and I also paid for the resettlement of the refugees. All in all, it must have been over twenty taels."
Xiao Yihuo knew what Lin Lezhi was angry about and deliberately poked at Lin Lezhi's sore spot.
Then he pretended to think for a while, then remembered, "Oh, yes, and the silver I gave to the beggar that day was also two or three taels."
"You were the one who insisted on doing this. I didn't ask you to do it. And why should I be charged the money you gave to the beggar yourself?"
"What I learned from you should naturally be counted on you."
"...?!"
"Didn't you borrow money from me to buy food for the beggars in the abandoned house? If that's the case, you also spent that money on food. I can just give them money and let them buy what they need. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"
"You...! Give me back my things!"
"Mine, I won't give it back."
Just as the two were arguing, the door was pushed open with a creaky sound.
Qingchuan and Liu Yunhe, who came back from outside carrying a heavy pile of medicinal herbs, saw the two people wrestling on the bed in a very strange posture.
It was only when they heard the door open that Lin Lezhi and Xiao Yihuo looked towards the door.
For a moment, all four of them were stunned.
Liu Yunhe thought he was seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked towards the bed again. After making sure that he was not mistaken, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
After taking another look at the clothes and cloth on the table, he said in a tone that seemed to be still in disbelief: "I just saw someone sneaking around on the street, and I thought it was you. I didn't expect it to be you."
Lin Lezhi usually doesn't look serious, and Liu Yunhe has seen this a lot, so he doesn't find it strange.
the strange thing is.
The prince actually joined in Lin Lezhi's mischief. He tried hard to hold back his surprise and curiosity, but couldn't stop asking, "But...but...how did you end up like this?"
These words.
Lin Lezhi also wanted to ask.
The original intention of getting so many hot water bottles was to warm Xiao Yihuo's body, but it was also a bit of a bad intention, making him feel very uncomfortable in bed.
This became a stumbling block for Lin Lezhi. He wanted to get the thermos, but he had to be careful not to break the hot water bottle in the quilt.
The thermos was hidden by Xiao Yihuo, and he didn't dare to put his weight on the bed, so he could only support himself on the side of the bed.
After going back and forth for a while, the posture became a little strange.
He was so close to Xiao Yihuo that he felt like he was about to force himself into bed with him.
Not to die.
He was also caught by Qingchuan and Liu Yunhe.
Only then did Lin Lezhi come to his senses. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he looked as if the sky had fallen. Then a heat rushed to his forehead, his ears turned red, and his cheeks were also slightly flushed.
It's not just Lin Lezhi.
Xiao Yihuo seemed a little embarrassed after being caught in such a scene. He tilted his head to the inside of the bed, his expression seemed to be forbearing, and his ears were slightly red.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
"Nothing... nothing." Lin Lezhi said with an awkward smile, then turned to Xiao Yihuo with a stiff head. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he gritted his teeth and whispered with a hint of accusation, "Don't you have excellent hearing?!"
Listen to it.
Xiao Yihuo turned his face further to the side, then, with an uncomfortable look, he coughed a few times and said weakly: "Just now... cough! Cough! I was distracted by playing with you and didn't... pay attention to the outside, cough... cough..."
……
Xiao Yihuo, who was speaking confidently just now, is now silent and is putting all the blame on himself, claiming he is innocent.
Seeing this, Qingchuan didn't feel strange or surprised. Instead, his eyes showed a hint of understanding. He smiled naturally and happily and said, "Lezhi and Ah Xu really get along very well."
