Chapter 600: Recuperation
Chapter 600: Recuperation
Obviously——
It was just the first time they met, but Zhou Zhi felt that the other person looked extremely familiar.
His heart tightened.
Now I can't help but want to call out to the other person.
Then, just as he moved the corners of his lips, a gust of wind blew towards him, and Zhou Zhi subconsciously closed his eyes.
Wait until you open your eyes again.
The translucent figure standing under the shade of the tree has disappeared, and the surroundings are empty, as if the other person had never appeared.
All of a sudden.
Zhou Zhi touched the peace locket hanging on his chest. After his light gray eyes lowered, he felt a rare sense of loss in his heart.
And the other side.
Lu Chihuan watched Zhou Zhi successfully reunite with his adjutant and others, and then with the help of the world consciousness, he left the current timeline. Before leaving, he took a last look at Zhou Zhi.
next moment.
He was caught in the turbulence of time again.
When he returned to the bedroom in the original timeline, Lu Chihuan saw that Lu Ye and Ms. Zhou were still guarding his body with nervous and solemn expressions, and they had no intention of dealing with other things.
During the whole time, they basically just stared at each other without even saying a few words.
"It's been two days."
Finally, it was Ms. Zhou who spoke worriedly. She looked at Lu Chihuan, who was sleeping on the sofa like a baby. Her fingers holding the teacup trembled a few times. "Huanhuan still has no other reaction. Could it be..."
"will not."
Lu Ye simply interrupted Ms. Zhou's guess. His fingertips stroked the cigarette in his pocket, his eyes a little absent-minded.
"I believe him."
Ms. Zhou pinched her brows and spoke with difficulty after a moment, "It's not that I don't trust him, I'm just worried that he would sacrifice his life in vain to save Zhou Zhi. This is a scene I don't want to see no matter what..."
When I first agreed.
She was already overwhelmed by the good news brought by Lu Chihuan.
In addition.
Lu Chihuan solemnly promised her that he would bring Zhou Zhi back, so she didn't even think about it carefully and she couldn't wait to agree to Lu Chihuan's proposal.
nowadays.
As time passed, she couldn't help but start to worry about Lu Chihuan's safety.
original.
Lu Chihuan didn't have to put himself in danger, but he still did it for Zhou Zhi. Therefore, if anything unexpected happened to him in the process of saving Zhou Zhi, it would be something that others would not want to see.
"Mrs. Zhou."
"You don't have to feel guilty or blame yourself. Huanhuan definitely didn't make this decision based on his own courage. He must have carefully considered the possible dangers that might arise in the future."
Lu Ye pulled the blanket that had fallen off Lu Chihuan's body upwards a few times. His profile looked very gentle while he was doing this.
"Since he chooses to do it..."
"That means he is very confident about this matter, and he has to do it. Because of this, even if you wanted to stop him before, you probably couldn't stop him."
I saw two people talking about me.
Lu Chihuan tilted his head and listened curiously, only to find that the speed of time flow on both sides seemed to be different. In Zhou Zhi's previous timeline, he stayed there for about five or six days.
But here.
Only two days had passed.
Seeing this, he quickly returned to his body, and then planned to see if Zhou Zhi's body had returned to normal.
I saw——
The fluorite jade on his wrist once again emitted a warm and soft halo that was invisible to others. For a moment, Lu Chihuan felt as if he was wrapped in warm water, feeling cozy and comfortable.
He was almost unwilling to open his eyes.
But thinking of what he had not yet finished, he opened his eyes with some difficulty and squeezed out a word from his throat.
"elder brother."
Perhaps because he had been floating in soul form for several days, Lu Chihuan was not used to the heaviness of his body. Now he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on him, and his limbs were a little uncoordinated.
The voice is also a little dry.
It took most of his strength to squeeze out this word, so now he could only stare at the firefly on his wrist with his dark eyes, hoping that the world consciousness could give him an answer.
"Cough cough."
The world consciousness replied dryly in his mind, "This is the sequelae of the soul being extracted, but it's not serious. You will be back to normal in a day or two."
Only then did Lu Chihuan feel relieved.
When Lu Ye heard Lu Chihuan's voice as thin as a gossamer, he strode hurriedly to him and helped him sit up from the sofa.
He frowned.
He seemed to be worried about Lu Chihuan's health, but his eyes were filled with deep relief and relaxation, as if he was finally relieved after Lu Chihuan returned safely.
At this moment.
Lu Ye touched Lu Chihuan's forehead with the back of his hand, and then hurriedly poured a glass of water. When the water temperature was suitable for drinking, he put it to Lu Chihuan's lips and said, "Drink some water first."
"Moisten your throat."
Lu Chihuan took a few sips.
Lu Ye had never taken care of other people before, so he seemed to be extra careful and cautious now. His eyes were focused, as if he was worried about choking Lu Chihuan.
The warm water flowed down his throat, and Lu Chihuan felt a little more comfortable.
He rubbed his cheek against the sofa pillow tiredly, then said weakly, "I have solved Brother Zhou's problem. He should wake up soon."
In Zhou Zhi's previous timeline, he hardly ate.
I never slept.
So after returning to his body, the overwhelming sleepiness was like waves, almost drowning him.
So he forced himself to stay awake and said, "I'm very sleepy," and then fell asleep again.
"I guess I'm too tired."
Ms. Zhou touched Lu Chihuan's cheek lovingly, her eyes flashing with pity and tenderness, "It's because we adults are useless that he is so tired."
After saying this.
She simply called in the royal family's exclusive therapist to give Zhou Zhi and Lu Chihuan a comprehensive physical examination.
The examination results were normal.
Lu Chihuan only suffered from some muscle soreness and lack of sleep, while Zhou Zhi's originally pale face gradually became rosy, and it seemed that he was recovering and getting better.
See this.
Ms. Zhou did not disturb them and continued to rest. "Let's go out first."
"Let them sleep a little longer."
Lu Ye was obviously a little hesitant.
However, he realized that he could not help much here while Huanhuan was in a coma, so he might as well deal with the accumulated official business first.
finally……
He still followed Ms. Zhou and left.
Ms. Zhou left guards and servants guarding outside the door. As long as Lu Chihuan woke up and pulled the bracelet hanging by the bed, the servants guarding outside would enter the room.
Then he followed Lu Chihuan's instructions and got him what he needed.
Soon the room became quiet.
Worried that Lu Chihuan would not sleep comfortably on the sofa, Mrs. Zhou had arranged for Lu Ye to carry him to the bed.
Lu Ye did as he was told with a sour face.
It's just that he deliberately placed Lu Chihuan a little further away from Zhou Zhi, and even separated them with a quilt to prevent the other party from taking advantage of his brother.
Lu Chihuan didn't notice.
Even in his sleep, he still subconsciously curled up his body.
She looks very cute when she sleeps.
It was just because he was used to lying in the same bed with Zhou Zhi, so he turned over a few times without realizing it, and in a daze he pushed open the quilt between him and Zhou Zhi.
next moment.
He was like an insecure little animal, and he nestled softly into Zhou Zhi's arms again. Their chests were pressed against each other's backs, and they slept in each other's arms in an intimate posture.
Zhou Zhi's body became hot again, and he felt like a furnace.
Warm.
Lu Chihuan is afraid of both heat and cold.
As a result, he woke up due to the heat in the second half of the night. He struggled a few times with sleepy eyes, but a large hand with distinct joints held him tightly around his waist, preventing him from escaping.
Suddenly.
Lu Chihuan hummed and stared over, his dark almond-shaped eyes sparkling with light.
It makes people feel soft-hearted just by looking at it.
The moment he looked up, he met Zhou Zhi's eyes. Zhou Zhi's light grey eyes were like a quiet lake, staring quietly at Lu Chihuan's sleeping face, as if they had been separated for a long time.
"Brother Zhou."
Lu Chihuan looked delighted.
He propped himself up and began to randomly grope Zhou Zhi's body. When he spoke, his voice was still nasal, "When did you wake up?"
"Why don't you just wake me up? Are you feeling unwell somewhere else?"
Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed Lu Chihuan against his chest, while his chin rubbed against his head for a few times. After a moment, he answered one by one, "I just woke up not long ago."
"You look very tired and I don't want to disturb you."
"No discomfort."
His voice was cold and a little hoarse, but he was very serious when answering the questions.
only.
Zhou Zhi told a lie.
In fact, he had not just woken up, but had been awake for about two hours. Looking at Huanhuan nestling in his arms so soft and docile, he didn't want to let go.
I didn't want to look away.
So two hours passed before they knew it, and even after Huanhuan woke up, Zhou Zhi still felt a little regretful.
Lu Chihuan was forced to lie on Zhou Zhi's body, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He reached out his hand and scratched his burning earlobe, lowered his eyes and didn't look Zhou Zhi in the eye. He asked dryly, "Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water..."
Zhou Zhi's Adam's apple rolled.
His eyes fell on the small black mole on the tip of Lu Chihuan's nose. He couldn't resist the urge to kiss it. He closed his eyes tightly and responded in a low voice after a moment.
"it is good."
He loosened his arms.
Lu Chihuan immediately sat up straight on the bed. He grabbed Zhou Zhi's bony hand with his backhand to use for leverage. After Zhou Zhi sat up, he stuffed a pillow behind his waist.
"for you."
He got out of bed and poured a glass of honey water for Zhou Zhi.
I don’t know if it was because I got enough rest, but the aftereffects of the previous soul separation have almost disappeared.
even.
The whole person feels somewhat refreshed.
After Lu Chihuan sat back on the bed, he took out a few nutritional supplements from the storage ring, opened one and put it in his mouth, and stuffed the rest into Zhou Zhi's empty palm.
He said vaguely, "Brother Zhou, if you are hungry, eat this first."
"You haven't eaten for about two days. Liquid nutrients are easier for you to digest and can also replenish your energy..."
Although the nutritional supplements don't taste very good.
But he was a little hungry.
So he still puffed up his cheeks and drank the whole bottle of nutrient solution in his hand.
"correct."
Lu Chihuan briefly explained the whole story of how Zhou Zhi fainted and how he rescued him, and then added, "...I asked a senior who has lived for a long time."
"According to it, the timeline of all creatures in this world can only be invaded once, so Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry about this happening again in the future. They can no longer hurt you."
Zhou Zhi finished drinking the honey water in his hand.
He drank the nutrient supplement in his hand slowly again, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
After he listened quietly to Lu Chihuan finish his words, his fingers unconsciously touched his chest, as if through this action, he could still feel the warm touch left by the peace locket.
Now he bowed his head.
He pressed his forehead against Lu Chihuan's, his light grey eyes dark and calm.
"Huanhuan."
"Thank you for protecting me."
previously.
He always remembered that this peace locket had protected him many times, but when he tried to recall the specific circumstances, he could not remember clearly.
After this coma, Zhou Zhi's slightly vague memory became as clear as polished glass.
It turned out that Huanhuan disguised herself as the spirit in the peace locket and helped him.
The bond between them——
It started a long time ago.
However, that was the timeline that had been changed. In order to prevent him from pursuing and exploring the identity of the so-called predecessor in the peace locket, it seemed that there was a force in the dark that locked his related memories.
Until this time.
Memory is the key that opens it.
After hearing what Zhou Zhi said, Lu Chihuan recalled the scene where he coaxed Zhou Zhi to call him senior. He couldn't help feeling guilty for a moment, so he subconsciously stepped back.
The voice was stuttering.
"No, it's nothing."
"After all, you have helped me a lot since we came to the main planet, and you are my best friend no matter which world we are in, so I definitely can't just watch you get into trouble because of this..."
For the price I paid.
Lu Chihuan didn't say a word.
When Zhou Zhi heard Lu Chihuan talk about his best friend, he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
He stretched out his hands and hugged Lu Chihuan's waist, resting his chin on the other's slightly thin shoulders. After a moment, he fell down while holding him, and his voice sounded a little tired.
"Sleep with me a little longer."
Lu Chihuan was unable to dodge.
Looking at the black head buried in his shoulder, he finally softened his heart. His slender white fingers threaded through Zhou Zhi's black hair and stroked it a few times in a soothing manner.
"Row."
"I'll be with you."
After that, they rested in the room for several days. Under the instructions of Ms. Zhou, the chef of the palace made tonics and stews for them in almost every possible way.
therefore.
During the time that Lu Chihuan was recuperating, his skin became white and rosy, and his complexion was much better than before.
Zhou Zhi's body also returned to normal.
He had originally planned to recuperate for a while longer, but the empire still needed him to take charge of the overall situation, and the military had a mountain of paperwork that needed to be dealt with, so he quickly left the palace.
then.
Lu Chihuan was the only one left in the room again.
Lu Chihuan was bored and flipped through the messages on the star network on his communicator. His eyes glanced at the date on the calendar.
Then I realized——
It seemed that I had stayed in the empire for too long.
He pursed his lips.
Start packing your belongings.
