Chapter 289: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (2)
"I can make up for it during the day, but if you and I are both sleepy, won't it arouse suspicion?" Changsun Yan held down Guan Cen who wanted to stand up and explained to him carefully, "You go to sleep first. If I really can't stand it anymore, I'll call you to replace me."
Guan Cen pursed his lips and thought for a moment, but he couldn't resist Chang Sun Yan, so he could only nod and say, "Then if you are sleepy, you must wake me up."
"Of course." Chang Sun Yan nodded, stood up and straightened his cloak, "Go to sleep."
Guan Cen then took off his outer robe and closed his eyes with a worried look on his face.
Seeing Guan Cen fall asleep, Chang Sun Yan extinguished a few candles on the table and sat by the table for a while, until he heard Guan Cen's breathing gradually calmed down, then he got up and walked towards the inner room.
In the inner room lit by dim candlelight, Lin Xi was wrapped up completely with only her head exposed. She still had her eyes closed and looked unconscious. But perhaps because her wounds were treated in time and she had a low fever, her complexion was much better than before, pale as snow, and even had a hint of blush.
After a while, perhaps because the medicine on the wound began to take effect, or perhaps because the charcoal fire in the room was burning too much, her breathing gradually became heavy, and a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her exposed forehead.
"Why is it so hot?" Lin Xi felt in her sleep as if she was in a stuffy room without a trace of cool breeze in the scorching summer. Not only was her whole body covered with a layer of sticky hot sweat, but even breathing was a little difficult because of the stuffiness.
When people get hot, they become extremely irritable. Lin Xi felt that her whole body was wet as if she was soaked in warm water, and she subconsciously wanted to stretch her hands and feet to get rid of this feeling.
But perhaps because she was in a dream, even though she felt that she had exerted a lot of strength, her hands and feet seemed to be restrained by something, and they were soft and weak and unable to move.
After struggling for a long time with this feeling as if she was being possessed by a ghost, Lin Xi felt that instead of feeling cooler, she felt even hotter. A nameless fire suddenly rose in her heart. She bit the tip of her tongue hard, and at the moment when the pain made her conscious, she exerted force with her hands and feet at the same time and kicked away the objects that were bound on her body.
"Ah!" The moment the coolness came, a short cry of surprise rang out at the same time. Lin Xi shuddered and suddenly opened his eyes.
Looking at the green curtain that was hazy under the dim light above her head, Lin Xi blinked and for a moment she didn't know where she was.
"My husband, what's wrong?" Guan Cen, who was sleeping uneasily in the outer room, suddenly heard her husband's scream. She immediately turned over and sat up. Without even having time to put on her outer robe, she prepared to walk towards the inner room.
"Nothing!" Zhang Sunyan, whose face was as red as a persimmon after frost, heard the observation and said anxiously, "It was just that there was a sudden thunder just now, and I was startled. You can continue to sleep."
Guan Cen paused as he was about to put on his shoes and breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some worry: "Then I will come to accompany you, my lord. The rain has stopped but there is still thunder."
"No need, go to sleep and take my place when you wake up!" Chang Sun Yan tried his best to make his voice sound calm and majestic, but the scene he had just glimpsed seemed to have taken root in his mind, flashing before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
Why is this person not wearing any clothes?
Although due to the obstruction of the screen and the concealment of the quilt piled around her waist, he took a quick glance and did not see anything outrageous that would make him want to die to atone for his crime.
But the man's smooth, straight and slender white legs made him look 100% sure. Just one look made his blood boil and his heart beat like a drum. He no longer cared about his noble manners and remained calm. He turned around in a panic.
"Okay, I'll go to sleep now." Hearing the tough attitude in Changsun Yan's tone, Guan Cen had no choice but to lie down again.
In the inner room, Lin Xi had completely woken up when Guan Cen asked. Feeling the soft touch beneath her body and a light feeling she had never experienced before, she subconsciously looked down, and her eyes widened in an instant.
Why is she not wearing any clothes?
Looking at her naked body, she quickly pulled the quilt that had just been kicked aside in her sleep and wrapped herself up again. Then she looked at the corner of the plain cloak that was swaying slightly behind the screen with a guilty conscience.
"Run, Runshi." After a while, when Lin Xi felt that the person outside was breathing gradually stabilized, he cleared his throat and called out to him somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yeah." Chang Sun Yan responded in a low voice from behind the screen, "You, put on your clothes first."
"I, I don't see my clothes." Lin Xi also wanted to put on some, but she just glanced around the room and didn't see any of her clothes at all.
Chang Sun Yan then remembered Lin Xi's black clothes that were stained with blood, and he immediately felt less annoyed about her reckless behavior. He blushed and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Then cover yourself with the quilt. I'll come in and find you a set of mine to change into."
"I've covered it up. Not a bit of it will be exposed. You, ahem, come in." Lin Xi said with a blushing face.
Changsun Yan hesitated for a moment, then moved around the screen, turned his back to Lin Xi and entered the inner room, not daring to look at the bed for even a moment.
Lin Xi looked at the man who had always been tall and slender, but now looked like a quail, with his back to her, moving timidly towards the closet, just like a cat slave who had done something wrong and was walking around his master. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and her pair of always sharp phoenix eyes were filled with a faint smile.
Changsun Yan walked towards the closet. When he passed by the dressing table, he glanced inadvertently into the mercury mirror and happened to meet Lin Xi's gaze who was looking at him in the mirror. Feeling the tender smile in her eyes, his cheeks couldn't help but get hot and he quickly avoided her gaze like a guilty thief.
Changsun Yan took out a set of pajamas that he had not put on yet from the closet and placed it on the table not far from the bed. He lowered his head and said, "Call me after you put it on." After that, he hurriedly hid behind the screen.
Lin Xi nodded lightly, and waited until everyone left before she stood up and walked to the table, changing into the snow-white robe on the table. The movement inevitably touched the wound on her arm.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't even frown even if she got a few more wounds like this. But tonight, as she looked at the figure reflected on the screen, she was like a child who could not tolerate pain.
When getting dressed, not only did he move very slowly, but he also let out a suppressed gasp or two from time to time, as if he was in extreme pain but was afraid of affecting others so he endured it.

Hey, thank you for your encouragement and messages. I can feel your love. Give me a heart.
Some babies noticed that the cover had been changed. In fact, the cover and the title had been changed before, but the system was afraid that the babies who had followed it before would not be able to find it, so the system still showed the original cover and title "Quickly Travel: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Soon" to the babies who had been following it before.
What is shown to the babies who come later is the new book title and new cover "White Moonlight Male Second He Ran Away with His Cousin Again". However, the content of the book is the same. Which one do you like better?
