Chapter 53 Sleeping on the same bed
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the earth.
Shen Jingxuan felt drowsy and cold all over, as if she was in an ice cellar.
"It's so cold..." she murmured.
Xie Lingxiao wanted to push her away, but when he heard her voice, he slowly put down his raised hand.
He sat there stiffly, allowing Shen Jingxuan to hold him, not daring to move.
Xie Lingxiao had never experienced the soft touch of Shen Jingxuan's body, but it made him feel a little greedy and he didn't want to be separated from her at all.
Feeling the heat on his body, Xie Lingxiao felt his blood boiling, and his whole body tensed up, not daring to move.
He had never slept in the same bed with anyone, nor had he been so close to a woman.
At this moment, Xie Lingxiao's dark eyes were fixed on Shen Jingxuan, and his heartbeat kept getting faster and faster, as if it would jump out of his chest if he was not careful.
He couldn't help but press his chest to relieve the discomfort.
But this simple action aroused Shen Jingxuan's dissatisfaction.
Shen Jingxuan tried hard to get into his arms, her face pressed tightly against Xie Lingxiao's abdomen.
This kind of contact made Xie Lingxiao's body tense up, and his face turned red visibly.
Xie Lingxiao sat in a strange posture until midnight. His body had already become numb, but he still didn't dare to move at all.
Shen Jingxuan slept in the same position and moved her body uncomfortably.
However, because of his excessive movement, he knocked Xie Lingxiao directly onto the wooden bed.
He lay stiffly on the bed, his whole body numb and unable to move.
Shen Jingxuan was satisfied only after she found a comfortable position and continued to fall into a deep sleep.
Xie Lingxiao lay there motionless, and without knowing when, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window onto Shen Jingxuan's face. She frowned uncomfortably and slowly opened her eyes.
What I saw was a familiar face, with long eyelashes covering the eyelids and slightly tightened lips.
Stinky man? Shen Jingxuan was startled and suddenly turned away from Xie Lingxiao, but because of the excessive movement, she pulled her wound.
"Hiss." The sudden pain made her gasp.
Xie Lingxiao turned and looked at Shen Jingxuan without saying a word.
In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, but seeing Shen Jingxuan sleeping soundly, he did not get up.
Seeing her grimacing in pain, Xie Lingxiao deliberately mocked her: "You're not very good at killing people, but you can't stand this little pain?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao: "Thank you for saving me."
Seeing him beside her, Shen Jingxuan knew that it was the stinky man who saved her.
She is a modern person, and unlike other women, she does not attach great importance to the distinction between men and women.
When I was training before, I also ate and lived with men, and now I don’t feel anything wrong with it.
Apart from the shock when she woke up, Shen Jingxuan was unusually calm after coming back to her senses.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Seeing her calm appearance, as if she didn't care at all, Xie Lingxiao suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
They were a single man and a single woman sleeping on the same bed, yet Shen Jingxuan was so calm.
"Hehe, it's just a thank you, don't take it seriously." Xie Lingxiao continued to close his eyes.
Shen Jingxuan slowly leaned against the wall: "I can promise you one thing, as long as I can do it."
After thinking for a while, he continued, "My name is Hao Lin."
For a moment, the room became quiet and there was no more talking.
Just when Shen Jingxuan thought she would not get a reply, a voice rang out.
"Thank you Lingxiao."
Haha, Xie Lingxiao complained in his heart, saying that he promised me something, but even his name was fake.
Neither of them continued to speak. One had his eyes closed, while the other looked ahead, wondering what he was thinking.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room: "Sir, are you awake? I'll bring you some food."
Xie Lingxiao turned over and got out of bed, and walked a few steps to the door: "Sorry to bother you, old man."
The old man smiled and said, "No trouble. Is that little brother awake? I wonder if he has enough food."
"That's enough. He's awake. He has a small appetite and can't eat much." Xie Lingxiao took the meal from the old man.
"Fortunately he woke up, but thank you for your hard work. You carried him a long way to find a place to live, and took care of him all night last night. Hurry up and eat something and rest for a while." The old man said this and turned to leave.
Xie Lingxiao looked at the old man and said, "Thank you, old man."
Shen Jingxuan's eyes fell on Xie Lingxiao.
She heard what the old man said, that the stinky man took care of her all night last night.
Seeing that she was staring at him, Xie Lingxiao slightly shifted his gaze, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Eat something." He came to the bedside with porridge and side dishes.
Xie Lingxiao saw Shen Jingxuan moving forward, and the movement pulled the wound. After just a few times, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He quickly put down his things and helped her move out until she sat on the edge. Xie Lingxiao handed her the porridge.
Watching Shen Jingxuan raise her arm with great effort, when she put the spoon to her mouth, there was no trace of rice in it.
Xie Lingxiao couldn't bear to watch it any longer and snatched the spoon from Shen Jingxuan.
He scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Shen Jingxuan's mouth, looking at her quietly, waiting for her to open her mouth.
Shen Jingxuan didn't know what to do, she had never been fed by anyone before.
In the past, even if she was injured and unable to move, she was the one who persevered. No matter how difficult it was, she faced it alone.
Xie Lingxiao glanced at her: "Open your mouth."
Hearing his words, Shen Jingxuan opened her mouth reflexively, and the rice in the spoon went directly into her mouth.
The temperature of the rice was just right, but Shen Jingxuan felt it was burning hot, which went all the way to her stomach, spread to her limbs, and finally to her heart.
Shen Jingxuan felt warm in her heart. They had only met a few times, and each time they ended in bad terms.
Unexpectedly, Xie Lingxiao not only saved her, but also took good care of her.
How blind was she before? She had been with her boyfriend and best friend for so many years, but she had never received their true love.
Seeing that Shen Jingxuan didn't say anything and didn't know what she was thinking, Xie Lingxiao didn't interrupt her and just fed her one spoonful at a time.
Soon the bowl of porridge was finished. Xie Lingxiao stopped what he was doing and went to get another bowl.
When Shen Jingxuan came back to her senses, she saw that he was going to give her food, so she raised her hand to block him: "I'm full, you eat."
Xie Lingxiao glanced at her, then withdrew his hand, put it to his mouth and started eating.
Shen Jingxuan watched Xie Lingxiao eat quietly. His elegant movements and his slow and steady eating were a pleasure to watch.
If she looked closely, she would definitely see Xie Lingxiao's earlobes were red, and the blush had already extended to his neck.
After breakfast, Xie Lingxiao went out for a while. He asked the old man whether there was a pharmacy in the village and the situation nearby.
When he came back, he told Shen Jingxuan that he was going out for a while and then left.
The sky gradually darkened. Seeing that Xie Lingxiao had not returned yet, Shen Jingxuan struggled to get out of bed.
She covered the wound on her stomach with both hands and slowly moved towards the door.
When Shen Jingxuan arrived outside the courtyard gate, it was already completely dark, but Xie Lingxiao still hadn't returned.
The old man couldn't help but frown when he saw her: "Little brother, you should wait inside, it's windy outside."
Shen Jingxuan disagreed: "It's okay, old man, I'll be back soon."
Seeing that she insisted, the old man just told her not to stand there for too long and went back to the house.
Shen Jingxuan stood alone in the yard, but one hour, two hours passed and Xie Lingxiao still didn't show up.
The wind in the yard was blowing, occasionally blowing on my face, causing a slight pain.
Shen Jingxuan's body was already shaky. She stared at the path ahead, and just like when she came, there was no single figure.
Three hours passed, and she looked at the empty road, wondering if she was too trusting.
You shouldn't expect too much from someone you've only met a few times...
