Suddenly there was the sound of heavy footsteps stepping on the stone road at the door, getting closer and closer.

Huo Li stood vigilantly in front of the two of them, looking towards the door.

Jiang Cheng limped and stood still while holding on to the door frame. Seeing the situation inside, he let out a mocking smile.

"Why, didn't I just get muddy all over, as if I didn't know me?"

The all-too-familiar voice brought Xuan Li back to his senses.

She stared blankly at the figure by the door, "...Jiang Cheng?"

His clothes are obviously dirty, but his usual laziness has not disappeared at all. "Xuan Xiaoli, I managed to climb out of the collapsed mountain to find you, but I didn't come to greet you, because I dislike my brother for being dirty?"

Xuan Li stared at him for a long time before moving her feet to go over.

Qiu Xin grabbed her wrist and handed her an umbrella.

She approached him under an umbrella, and hesitantly raised her hand to touch his face. It was cold, but the touch was very real.

Jiang Cheng looked at her with eyes half down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xuan Xiaoli, I'm so cold."

Xuanli didn't care how dirty he was, just helped him and walked inside.

"You go take a bath first, I'll make ginger soup for you."

The couple watched them go in.

Huo Lishen breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, he's fine. If something happens to the Jiang family's only son on the way to our town, Xiaoli may not be able to come back in the future."

Qiu Xin turned around and walked to the room, "I'll get him a change of your old clothes."

Jiang Cheng sat on Xuanli's bed after taking a shower, wearing the clothes Huo Lishen wore when he was still thin many years ago.It's a dark blue polo shirt with khaki cropped pants.

He was obviously dressed in work-style clothes, but he wore a different kind of style on him.

In particular, he deliberately opened a button, the collarbone was faintly visible, and the capitals were provocative.

Xuan Li restrained her eyes from looking at other parts of his body, bent down and applied medicine to his knee.

There were many scratches on his body, and the palms were the most severely scratched.

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hands casually, watching her carefully apply the medicine.

He suddenly laughed, and Xuanli looked up at him suspiciously.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Does it look like the last time you broke your hand?"

She remembered how Jiang Cheng treated her wounds in the same way when she fell at the gate of the police station.

"It's not like." Xuan Li deliberately increased his strength, but he didn't have the slightest intention to cry out in pain, "You are injured more seriously than me."

"It's lucky to be alive," Jiang Cheng glanced at the pouring rain outside the window, "But my car probably won't be able to drive for a while."

She pressed his face, "Don't move, your face is also scratched."

As soon as Jiang Cheng raised his eyes, he bumped into Xuan Li's eyes that reflected his figure cleanly, and his heart beat inexplicably stagnant.

She rolled her eyes, looked closely at him, and paused with her hands.

His eyes were especially sentimental peach blossom eyes, shining with clear and shallow water light, which made her feel a little confused.

Jiang Cheng smelled the sweet gardenia fragrance from her body, lingering around his nose together with the lavender fragrance in the room.His throat was a little itchy, and the restlessness that had been suppressed for a long time surged up.

"Xiao Li, I'll bring you the ginger soup you stewed..."

Qiu Xin pushed open the door and was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.

Xuanli stood up immediately, a layer of pink appeared on her cheeks, and she coughed twice to cover up.

"...Thank you, Aunt Qiu."

Qiu Xin gave them a complicated look, put the ginger soup on the table and backed out without closing the door.

Jiang Cheng watched her go out with dark eyes, "Didn't your adoptive parents even knock when they entered your room?"

Xuan Li half lowered her eyes, and in a low voice, handed him the ginger soup. "It's okay, I'm used to it, I shouldn't have secrets in front of them."

"Bringing you back to Kyoto is really the right choice."

He drank it in one gulp without changing his face, and his body warmed up.

This time she did not refute as she did when she first returned to Kyoto, and took the empty bowl without saying a word.

"I can't go back today, let Uncle Cheng come over tomorrow."

Jiang Cheng bent his lips with a half-smile, "Where does Xuan Xiaoli decide to let me live?"

"It's still raining outside, so it's inconvenient to take you to a hotel." Xuan Li pursed her lips, "You should stay in my room?"

His expression was light, "You still want to live in your adoptive parents' room?"

"Ah."

"Although it's summer now, it's easy for them to catch cold when they lay on the floor in this weather."

She looked at him inexplicably, "So what's wrong?"

"I sleep on the floor, you sleep on the bed, in this room."

"What?" Xuan Li froze, and her ears burned after she realized it, "But... But Aunt Qiu and Uncle Huo won't agree."

"This is your room, I'm your brother, and we have the authority." Jiang Cheng flicked her forehead punitively, "You just listen to what they say?"

Xuan Li's eyelids trembled slightly, biting her lip, thinking about his words.

"...Then I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

He let out a hoarse laugh from his throat, "How can there be any reason to let children sleep on the sofa? What are you afraid of? I won't eat you. How can the living room be as safe as a room with a brother?"

She finally compromised, but still lied to Huo Lishen and his wife that Jiang Cheng slept on the sofa in the living room.

At night, Xuanli made the floor for Jiang Cheng, and when he lay down on the bed, the thought of him being beside him made him unable to fall asleep.

"Jiang Cheng, are you asleep?"

Staring at the ceiling in the darkness, she asked him aloud.

"No."

Jiang Cheng didn't want to cover him with a blanket, but Xuanli said it was cold on the ground, so he took a thin blanket and covered him.

The thin blanket was still smeared with the scent of gardenias from her body, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep after tossing and turning.

"Would you like to tell me about your college life?" Xuan Li was afraid that he would find out what was going on in his mind, so he added, "I just happened to experience it in advance."

"Nothing special. I joined the student union in my freshman year, joined the basketball association and the photography association. In my spare time, I play games and read some extracurricular books."

Xuan Li had expectations for her future college life, the corners of her mouth raised, "It sounds very fulfilling."

"You can also join associations you are interested in in the future." Jiang Cheng felt a little sleepy, and his voice was a little lazy, "Does Xuan Xiaoli like anything?"

She replied subconsciously: "Yes."

But then he realized that the "something" he liked was right next to him, and answered the question as if he had a guilty conscience: "Let's make music."

He asked with great interest: "Music? Is it a musical instrument or singing and dancing?"

Xuan Li asked back: "Then what are you good at?"

"Barely there is, piano."

She thought about it, "Then I want to learn this too."

Jiang Cheng laughed, "Learning the piano is very tiring. I was forced to learn it when I was a child. It's good for you to jump into the pit."

That's why I want to understand how you feel.

Thinking of this, Xuan Li felt tired, but fell into a deep sleep.
