036

Lin Yan slept peacefully this time, and an unprecedented sense of security surrounded her.

When she woke up, she found herself curled up in a soft embrace. When she looked up, she saw Ye Ran's concerned face close at hand.

"woke up?"

Ye Ran smiled and gently stroked her long hair.

Lin Yan nodded and wanted to get up from his arms, but found that she was a little... reluctant.

"Um...can you let go?"

Lin Yan's face was red with embarrassment and she was a little at a loss.

Ye Ran raised her hands very naturally, and Lin Yan realized that she was the one holding Ye Ran.

"Is it still cold?"

Ye Ran asked softly, distracting her attention.

"It's not cold anymore..."

Lin Yan shook his head hurriedly. Ye Ran's body was like a small stove. It felt warm when he held it, but there was no hint of coldness at all.

But she also knew that in the past few days, there was no way to suppress the cold poison in her body.

The potion Ye Ran prepared for her was useless.

"This is for you."

Ye Ran took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Yan, smiling and saying: "Refining it with true energy."

"What's this?"

Lin Yan took it and saw that it was a jade talisman the size of a thumb, so he followed Ye Ran's instructions and used his true energy to refine it.

"This is……"

Lin Yan didn't dare to look at Ye Ran anymore, and just whispered: "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

What was recorded in this jade talisman was everything about the Zhoutian Star Formation, and it was specially marked that the power of the sun and stars could suppress the cold air.

Lin Yan thought of yesterday, when she used the power of the sun and stars to keep breakfast warm, and couldn't help cursing herself for being a fool.

"It's not too late."

Ye Ran remained calm and gently put his two hands around Lin Yan's waist. It was not as slender and soft as expected, and there was a close-fitting inner armor underneath.

Lin Yan was concentrating on reading the contents on the jade talisman. When she noticed Ye Ran's movements, her body trembled slightly, but she did not resist.

Suddenly, Lin Yan carefully put the jade talisman into his arms, and then whispered: "Ye Xi is here."

Then he struggled a little.

"Come as soon as you come."

Ye Ran yawned and said lazily: "Afraid that if she sees it, she won't be able to be my brother-in-law?"

Lin Yan: "..."

Suddenly, Lin Yan frowned, looked at Ye Ran in surprise, and subconsciously said: "What did you poke me with...Why do you still wear a dagger while sleeping?"

As he spoke, he reached for the 'dagger'.

Ye Ran: "..."

"It's not a dagger, what is this... hmm!"

The next moment, Lin Yan's eyes widened instantly, his expression full of astonishment.

Ye Ran let go of his hands unnaturally, coughed dryly, and said nonchalantly: "Ahem, it's been like this this morning..."

Lin Yan woke up from a dream, slowly, slowly let go, forced herself to calm down, and said in a relaxed tone: "Oh, that's it... I'm like this when I'm not cold."

Ye Ran: "..."

Then, Lin Yan jumped out of bed as if running away and hurriedly put on her coat.

The moment Lin Yan broke away from Ye Ran, the familiar coldness came again.

Suddenly, she remembered the power of the sun that could be used to keep food warm. She tapped her fingertips in the void, and a ray of star power from the sun condensed onto her body.

In an instant, the biting coldness was dispelled.

"……Thanks."

Lin Yan looked at Ye Ran on the bed and whispered.

The power of the sun and star... is indeed not as comfortable as Ye Ran's embrace.

"You're welcome."

Ye Ran got up and got out of bed, reached out and touched Lin Yan's head, and put on his coat.

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief and went to make the two beds ahead of Ye Ran.

Ye Ran smiled and walked out of the room.

"Are you awake?"

In the courtyard, Ye Xi and Yu Chaoge were sitting at the bamboo table, not knowing what they were talking about.

There was a food box on the table, obviously breakfast was prepared for Ye Ran and Lin Yan.

Seeing Ye Ran come out, Ye Xi said hello to him, but her eyes glanced into the room.

"Master Ye Ran!"

Yu Chaoge hurriedly stood up and greeted Ye Ran with a somewhat uneasy expression.

Ye Ran nodded to them, then walked into the kitchen, took out the hot water prepared last night from the array, poured it into Lin Yan's basin and tooth cup, and carried it to the courtyard.

Then he got a basin of cold water from the well and washed himself. Lin Yan finished cleaning the room and came to the courtyard.

"Hot water?"

Lin Yan was startled, his expression a little unnatural.

"Aren't you cold?"

Ye Ran replied casually. After washing, he took a bowl from the kitchen and put it on the bamboo table, saying, "Drink this first."

"oh."

Lin Yan sat at the bamboo table, greeted Ye Xiyu Chaoge, and slowly drank from the bowl.

Ye Xi was startled by the gentleness of Ye Ran's gestures. She felt as if her cousin was a different person.

"Brown sugar water?"

Suddenly, after Ye Xi saw clearly what Lin Yan was drinking, there was an indescribable weirdness in his expression.

"Is this called brown sugar water?"

Lin Yan was startled and raised his head. When she was feeling uncomfortable last night, Ye Ran gave her a bowl of this sugar water and she felt much better.

It turned out to be called brown sugar...the same kind of candy and chestnut cake that Ye Ran gave her before. She had never seen it before.

"Yes, it was made by my aunt, Ye Ran's mother. It can...can..."

Ye Xi couldn't speak any more.

Brown sugar can relieve women’s discomfort during menstruation... But why did Ye Ran give Mr. Lin Yan brown sugar water?

"Lin Xiaoyan has been poisoned by cold."

Ye Ran answered: "Brown sugar is warm in nature and can dispel yin and cold, so it is suitable for her to drink."

Ye Xi: "...Oh."

What the hell is Lin Xiaoyan?

"Poisoned?!"

The next moment, Ye Xi realized what she was doing. She stared and said, "Who is so bold as to poison Mr. Lin Yan?"

Ye Ran also looked at Lin Yan, frowning slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Lin Yan drank the last sip of sugar water with a satisfied look on his face. Hearing this, he muttered in a low voice: "He's not a good person anyway."

"It's just cold poison. With my cousin here, it will be cured!"

Ye Xi thought of Ye Ran's ability again and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yan was slightly startled, then nodded.

Yu Chaoge remained silent while Ye Xi diligently opened the food box and took out the breakfast inside.

Ye Ran raised his eyebrows and saw two bowls of mushroom and lean meat porridge inside.

This porridge was taught to Ye Xi by her mother when she was still alive.

Ye Ran took a bowl of porridge and brought it to Lin Yan, then put his hands on the table, propped up his head, yawned, and said with a half-smile: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
