Villain Rescue System - Chapter 151

Li Li lay on the bed and pretended to sleep for an hour.

He opened his eyes only after hearing the even breathing of the person next to him.

Just looking at Wen Long sleeping beside him, he wondered how she could sleep.

It was already very hot in his heart, but with the kang, his back became even hotter.

He had just showered at night, but was starting to sweat.

He endured it for more than ten minutes, but he couldn’t take it anymore, and kicked the quilt away with his long legs.

The cold wind outside the window came in through the small gap of the window and blew on him.

Li Li didn’t feel cold, but rather cool.

But he didn’t enjoy the coolness for long.

After a while, he heard rustling noises next to him.

It was Wen Long who woke up.

Li Li hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, not daring to move.

He felt that Wen Long seemed to be approaching him, and his heart started to beat faster by seconds.

What was she going to do?

Wen Long’s arm brushed past him.

The next moment, the quilt that was kicked aside by Li Li safely covered him again.

Then, she lay back and went to sleep.

“…”

Li Li’s whole body was warmed.

The heat in the quilt gathered again, and the heat from the pit of the kang made his mouth dry.

But he couldn’t bear to push the quilt away again, so he had to endure the heat and stay up all night sweating.

 …

The next day, Wen Long woke up very early.

She sat up and was about to get up and go to the kitchen to prepare the meat for the New Year.

When she moved, Li Li also woke up.

Li Li usually woke up an hour earlier than that, but was so hot the previous night that he couldn’t fall asleep in the first half of the night, so he got up later.

Seeing him wake up, Wen Long said with a smile, “Good morning.”

Li Li was stunned for a moment, “Oh… Good morning.”

His voice was very dry and hoarse, not like the nasal voice of just waking up.

Wen Long tilted her head and asked, “Did you catch a cold?”

Li Li quickly cleared his throat, “No.”

But it didn’t help, his voice was the same as before, almost only breath sounds remained.

Wen Long stretched out her hand and touched Li Li’s neck.

He was a little hot.

She checked the temperature of Li Li’s bed again.

It was hotter.

She asked in surprise, “Are you sick?”

Li Li coughed twice, “It may be that the kang was too hot yesterday, it’s okay.”

“I watched you heat it yesterday…” Wen Long frowned.

And she slept comfortably the previous night, without feeling too hot. It was as if the two of them were not sleeping in the same bed.

She suddenly thought of the clothes Li Li usually wore during the day. No matter how cold the weather was, he wore only a sweater and a coat.

And he didn’t look like he was fine at all.

People’s physiques were different. Some people were immune to the cold.

She then said, “Don’t heat the kang tonight, it may be that it was too hot last night.”

Li Li opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Wen Long quickly dismissed it, “Listen to me.”

“…Okay. “

…

There was not much work to be done in the field at that time.

Li Li stayed at home with Wen Long to prepare the New Year’s dinner.

There were only the two of them, and they couldn’t eat too much during the Chinese New Year, so they processed all the meat in one day.

Before Wen Long entered, Li Li specially cleaned the whole house thoroughly, and there was no need to clean it for the new year. So after they finished making the New Year’s meal, for ten or so days of Chinese New Year, they were free.

At times like that in previous years, he would be basically looking for work in the city or Lijia Village.

He lived alone, and the Chinese New Year was not much different from usual, and his salary during that time was even doubled.

But starting from that year, he decided to spend it leisurely at home.

That night, Li Li was supervised by Wen Long not to heat the kang.

Before going to sleep, he asked Wen Long again, “Do you feel cold?”

“If it’s cold, tell me. I’ll burn some corn stalks now, and it will be warm in the middle of the night.”

Wen Long glanced at him,”Go to sleep.”

“… …Oh.”

Li Li turned off the light and got under the quilt.

That day was a little bit colder than usual, and he felt that it was just right to use the quilt.

In the darkness, his gaze unconsciously glanced to the side.

But Wen Long didn’t move at all, and he couldn’t tell whether she was asleep or not for a while.

He still couldn’t sleep well, and he had nothing to do the next day, so he just kept his eyes open.

After a while, he heard the person next to him move slightly.

The moonlight came through the window a little, and he saw that the quilt next to him suddenly swelled up. It was Wen Long who curled up her body.

When people felt cold, they would curl up subconsciously.

Li Li turned over and asked softly, “Is it cold?”

He waited for a while before he heard a muffled sound, “… A bit.”

Wen Long was trembling in the cold. She asked Li Li not to heat the kang that morning, so she was a little embarrassed to speak out.

Li Li frowned, reached into the quilt and touched her hand, only to find it was ice cold.

It was too late to burn corn stalks.

“I’ll cover you with my quilt too.”
