Chapter 600 Cat Ears
In the thatched hut after the divine power dissipated, the moonlight flowed over Chu Ziyu's pale face like water.
He curled up in Lin Ci'an's arms, his long silver hair spread all over the bed, with blood still stained at the ends.
The backlash from his forced transformation made his entire body burn with heat, and his breathing became so light that it was almost imperceptible.
6872 repaired Chu Ziyu's body to the limit, and at the last moment when the energy was exhausted, he finally managed to maintain the balance of his body and fell asleep.
Need to hibernate to replenish energy.
Lin Ci'an stared at the person in his arms in a daze.
That face perfectly matched the blurry face that had appeared countless times in his dreams, and he suddenly felt a tearing pain in his heart - it was not the backlash of the sword energy, but some deeper, forgotten dull pain.
"Snowball..."
He trembled as he touched the other person's bloody lips, and the temperature from his fingertips was surprisingly hot.
Chu Ziyu unconsciously shrank into his arms while unconscious, and this action made Lin Ci'an's eyes warm.
He carefully laid the person flat on the bed and fetched well water to soak the towel.
“Don’t die…”
He wiped the cold sweat from Chu Ziyu's forehead, his voice choked with sobs, "Please..."
The sound of old man Chen's hurried footsteps could be heard outside the window.
When the old man pushed the door open, Lin Ci'an was using a towel to clean the bloodstains on Chu Ziyu's arm bit by bit.
Those spider-web-like cracks were shocking in the moonlight, as if they would break at the touch.
"This is......"
Old man Chen took a deep breath, then turned around and took out his treasured medicine jar, "Go boil some water! Make sure it's boiling hot!"
Lin Ci'an hurriedly lit the stove, and as soon as the water in the copper kettle began to bubble, it was snatched away by Old Man Chen.
The old man put several herbs into boiling water, and the bitter aroma immediately filled the whole room.
"Help him up."
Old man Chen handed the medicine bowl to Lin Ci'an, "This bowl can save your life."
Chu Ziyu's lips were tightly closed, and the medicine flowed down the corners of his mouth. Lin Ci'an's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he suddenly raised his head, took a sip of the medicine, and leaned over to touch the pale lips.
Bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue. He patiently pried open the other person's teeth and passed the medicine over bit by bit.
When he took the third bite, Chu Ziyu's Adam's apple finally rolled.
"It's alive!" Old man Chen slapped his thigh and shouted, "Keep feeding!"
When the bowl of medicine was finished, Chu Ziyu's breathing became more stable. Lin Ci'an breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized that his back was soaked.
He gently placed the person back on the pillow, his fingertips unconsciously combing the long silver hair.
“Is this a snowball?”
Old man Chen asked suddenly.
"Yes, how did Grandpa know?"
“Things from the mountains, if they live long enough, will always have some spiritual energy.”
The old man said as he pounded the medicine, "When I was young, I was a bodyguard and saw foxes that could repay favors and birds that could predict the future...You, a cat, are just smarter than them."
"Didn't you know him before?"
Lin Ci'an's hand paused.
The moonlight shone on Chu Ziyu's peaceful sleeping face, and the shadows cast by her long eyelashes were like two small fans.
Should he remember this face? Why was his heart beating so fast?
"I......"
He opened his mouth and suddenly had a splitting headache. Countless fragments flashed back in his mind - a figure in white clothes stained with blood, a silver-white light in front of the Demon Locking Tower, someone gently calling him "Junior Brother Lin"...
"If you can't remember, don't force it."
Old Man Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Watch closely. This injury is very strange."
After the old man left, Lin Ci'an stayed by the bedside without moving. He wrung out the cloth and wiped the cold sweat from Chu Ziyu's neck, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a fragile item.
Chu Ziyu lying on the bed seemed to sense something and his brows relaxed in his coma.
Outside the window, the first rays of morning light penetrate the clouds.
When Chu Ziyu woke up, he found himself lying on a simple but clean bed.
The sun shone through the window paper, casting a warm golden hue on the room. He tried to move his fingers, but the bones in his body seemed to be crushed and then hastily put together, causing him to groan in pain.
"you're awake?"
A familiar voice came from the door. Lin Ci'an walked over quickly with a bowl of steaming porridge in his hand. There were obvious dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not slept all night.
Chu Ziyu subconsciously wanted to speak, but suddenly realized that he was now in human form.
He opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain. Anyone would be shocked if the "Snowball" he had lived with day and night for three months suddenly turned into a living person, right?
“Have some porridge first.”
Lin Ci'an seemed not to notice his embarrassment, and carefully helped him up and leaned on his shoulder, "Grandpa Chen said that you can't take anything hard now."
The bowl of warm porridge was handed to my lips, the aroma of rice mixed with the bitterness of herbs.
Chu Ziyu lowered his eyes and took a sip, the heat made his eyes sore.
He raised his eyes secretly and met Lin Ci'an's focused gaze - that look was as gentle as if he was looking at a lost treasure that had been recovered. There was no surprise, no fear, only pure concern.
He drank the porridge obediently and thanked him softly: "Thank you for saving me, young master."
I regretted it as soon as I said it.
It sounded too unfamiliar, and totally unlike something that "Xuetuan", who I spend every day with, would say.
Sure enough, Lin Ci'an's eyes dimmed, but he soon smiled again: "It's my duty. You..." He hesitated for a moment, "Are you still in pain?"
Chu Ziyu shook his head, and his long silver hair fell onto his shoulders as he moved.
Lin Ci'an naturally reached out to put his hand behind his ear, and when his fingertips accidentally brushed the tip of his ear, they both froze at the same time.
(Cat ears are about to pop out!)
Chu Ziyu hurriedly pressed his head, but saw Lin Ci'an tilting his head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
