nebula story

……

Wind and rain always come and go quickly.

The sudden rain last night had stopped in the early morning, and the air in the suburbs seemed more fresh and pleasant.The light fragrance of roses seemed stronger than usual, and the white villa surrounded by plants penetrated through the mottled log-colored fence into the doors and windows that were closed due to last night's wind and rain.

In the dining room on the first floor, the smell of breakfast could already be heard faintly. A kind-faced elderly woman wore a gray hair bun and replaced the agate-colored glass bottle in the center of the dining table with a bouquet of roses that had just been picked.

There was a soft sound of wooden stairs behind her, and she smiled and looked at Mrs. Lin who was stepping down: "Madam, are you awake?"

"Yes, Mom." Mrs. Lin changed into a light gray cotton dress. The fatigue from the night seemed to have disappeared, and her picturesque face regained its radiance.

"I came back late yesterday. I saw that you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up again. There is a little guest at home. Do you have an extra breakfast?"

"Of course there is. I don't usually do it just right. I have to be on guard against someone who suddenly has a big appetite." The old woman smiled, "What kind of little guest? Could it be the little nephew of the husband's family in Hans City?"

"Ah, no more." Mrs. Lin hesitated for a moment, then smiled vaguely, "A child from a friend's family had trouble with his family, anyway, he left after staying for a while."

Sitting at the big empty dining table, she slowly ate freshly baked toast and fried eggs by herself.

A hot breakfast was brought out from the kitchen, and the old lady asked, "Ma'am, the child lives in the guest room? Do you want me to wake him up?"

"Oh, no." Mrs. Lin shook her head, feeling that there was still no way to hide it from the people in the room. "Actually, he has a little injury. Let him sleep for a while."

"What? Are you injured?" Mother cried out in surprise, "You're so young and elementary school people fight!"

After thinking about it, Fu ran to the kitchen again and started tossing around like an enemy.

After a long while, a large tray was finally brought out from the kitchen, which was full of steaming nutritious food, and she proudly placed it on the dining table.

"Young people must have a lot of food, and they need to make up for injuries. Ma'am, do you think this is enough?"

"Enough is enough." Mrs. Lin stood up with a smile, and picked up the breakfast tray herself, "I'll go up and have a look, Mom, you can bring some hot water up later, he still needs to take medicine."

……

There is a mixed scent in the nose, the sweetness of food and the fragrance of flowers.However, there was some dull pain in his body, and Chesu woke up slowly in the chaos.

The first thing that catches the eye is a slender figure on the opposite low cabinet, with slender hands and slender black hair, who is putting down a tray full of food on the low cabinet.

The scene before coma quickly flashed through his mind, and Chesu suddenly understood something.

Not in the familiar empire, not dear sister Aisha.

Quietly looking around, he remembered everything about last night.The houses around him were decorated elegantly and neatly, the surrounding atmosphere was peaceful and peaceful, and he did not feel any dangerous atmosphere at all. He breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he feel the strangeness in his body.

——The elastic tape tightly wrapped around the body fixes the sternal ribs, which is the standard treatment method for rib fractures.

"Sister..." He hesitated for a while, and finally spoke in a low voice, and slowly sat up with his body propped up.

"Oh, this kid, you have such a sweet mouth!" An old lady pushed the door in, holding a beautiful water bottle, half complaining and half funny.

Hearing his voice, the slender girl turned around and looked at Chesu on the bed with a smile.

Seeing the woman's face clearly, Chesu finally blushed slightly.

The light was dim last night, and he couldn't see her face clearly. Looking closely at her in the daylight now, although her figure was slim and elegant, she could vaguely tell that she was about 40 or [-] years old.

Seeing his embarrassment, Mrs. Lin walked forward with a smile, brought the still warm plate of meals on the low cabinet and put it in front of him: "My daughter is 22 years old this year, you will not be older than her, right? "

"Well, I... I am this year, but I will be nineteen soon." Chesu blushed even more, and panicked: the woman in front of her is really young and good-looking, how can she look like she is in her 40s? Woolen cloth?

"Sure enough, she is a few years younger than Miss." The old woman put down the water bottle and poured out a glass of water. "Do you take this medicine before meals or after meals?"

"Before meals, the doctor said it's best to take this kind of pain reliever four times a day, once in the morning, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to take it for a while."

With a cry of "Oh", the old woman brought water and put it in front of Chesu. She squinted her presbyopic eyes and looked at Chesu's upper body, which was only wrapped in a wide bandage. Only then did she realize that he was covered with scars. I was stunned, and I was really shocked.

Watching her expression carefully, Chesu quietly hid the half-handcuffed hand under the quilt, feeling uneasy.

As if not seeing his small movements, Mrs. Lin smiled and said to the old mother who watched her grow up: "Mum, I remember that you collected everything in the kitchen, Lao Pan and the others got up late, and I will wait for you later." What can I eat?"

"Oh, that's right! I forgot about this problem!" The old woman patted her head, "I have to make some more food for them."

Hearing her footsteps going down the stairs, Mrs. Lin gently handed over the pills and asked kindly: "Is your chest still hurting badly? The doctor said that two of your ribs were broken. There are old wounds, so recovery will be a little bit slower."

Hurriedly taking the medicine in her hand, Chesu nodded: "Well... I know. There is an old wound there."

It first originated from being beaten by His Highness Lance's subordinates as spies, and later was aggravated by His Highness Fern's whip. Although it has not been broken, it always hurts from time to time.

"Do you often fight? Boys at this age, don't be too impulsive." Mrs. Lin said with a smile. This child would blush even when he said a word, and he didn't look like he liked to be aggressive.

"Well, there was no fight." Chesu whispered, lowering his head awkwardly, "I accidentally... bumped into it."

"Oh", Mrs. Lin took the dinner plate: "Come on, let's eat something. Even if you don't have an appetite, you should eat more. Boys are still growing at this age."

Pointing to the direction where the old mother left at the door, she smiled brightly: "If you eat all of them, the old mother will be very happy."

Involuntarily, she used a very doting tone towards this young man who was younger than her daughter, and her eyes were extremely gentle.

Taking her plate blankly, Chesu looked up at her: "Thank you...thank you."

With a sore nose, he was surprised to find that his eye sockets were a little wet.Quickly lowering his head, he ate the food on the plate sullenly. The concern and pity in the woman's eyes were so obvious, it was a completely strange experience.

Whether it is the taciturn father or the inexpressible His Royal Highness Fern, they rarely treat him with this attitude.Between people, sometimes it is so easy to be separated by mountains and rivers.But sometimes, it is so easy to feel each other's kindness and tenderness.

Silently watching him finish the whole plate of breakfast, Mrs. Lin couldn't help asking: "Do you want more? Shall I add some more?"

"No, no, that's enough." Chesu's face, which had just recovered from normal, turned red to the ears, too bad, did he look very uneducated, and there was not even a little bit left!

Shyly dodging Madam Lin's hand reaching out to pick up the plate, he hurriedly wanted to get out of bed: "I'm here to deliver the plate, you..."

Unable to explain and gently pressed him, Mrs. Lin's face was serious: "For the first few days, you'd better stay in bed, this is the doctor's order."

After thinking about it, she finally said softly, "Do you need me to do anything else for you? For example, notify your parents? They must be very anxious. You haven't returned all night."

"Ah..." Chesu was tongue-tied and raised his head in a daze.

"Or, make a phone call first?" Mrs. Lin tentatively said, "Believe me, I'm a mother, if my daughter doesn't come home overnight, and I know she's injured but I'm not by her side, I will be very sad Distressed. Your parents will be the same. "

Chesu bit his lips, and after a long while he finally said in a low voice: "I don't have a mother... I have been away from home for almost a year, and my father is already used to me not being around him."

Daddy must have thought he was dead.Was he always thinking of himself when he was working alone at Hall Manor?

His Royal Highness Fern may give him enough pension, but Dad will still be so sad that he will go crazy, right?

... His throat and nose were suddenly blocked by something at the same time. He closed his mouth tightly in embarrassment, not daring to let the hoarse nasal voice betray him.

Slightly startled, Mrs. Lin was momentarily speechless.

"So, do you have any friends? Need a call?"

"No, no." Chesu didn't dare to raise his head.

"Ah... isn't there any?" Mrs. Lin's voice was hesitant.

Chesu was stunned for a moment.Nan Zhuo is it?

Slowly raising his head, he looked at Mrs. Lin in front of him, and suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Yes, I have several good friends. I have to leave now. If I go to them immediately, they will take care of me .”

Struggling to get out of bed, he bowed deeply and earnestly to Mrs. Lin: "Thank you for what happened last night...thank you. I will remember your kindness."

I won't say anything about coming to the door to thank you in the future, that is a hypocritical and unfulfilled lie.he thought sadly.

"Don't bend over indiscriminately, doesn't your chest hurt?!" Mrs. Lin hurriedly stood up and helped him up anxiously, "Don't go in such a hurry, you can stay here and have a good rest, call your friends Just come and see you."

"No, no, there is really no need." Chesu smiled reluctantly, "I will cause you inconvenience if I stay here."

Relentless, he no longer concealed the shackles on his wrists, and intentionally made a soft ding-dong sound.

Yes, he shouldn't be greedy for the warmth and safety here, his identity will bring huge troubles and even disasters to everyone who approaches him.

Bowing slightly to Mrs. Lin again, he stabilized his steps and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute." Madam Lin called out suddenly behind him, "Tell me, where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you."

"..." He stopped in a daze, and Chesu was tongue-tied.

"I, I'm going to a friend's house."

"Where is it exactly? Address and house number?" Mrs. Lin turned to him, her eyes looking deep.

"It's just near the street where you met me yesterday. The door, the number... I don't remember, but I'll find it when I get there." Chesu blushed quickly, lowering her head and not daring to lift her eyes.Lying was such a bad taste that his heart was beating wildly.

"Okay, you stay for me, do you hear me?" Mrs. Lin said gently, her dark eyes were shining, reflecting Chesu's embarrassment, "I won't inquire about your situation anymore, and I won't go to Find out what you don't want people to know. Even if you just ran away from the police station, that's none of my business."

In her mind, she vaguely recalled the despair-like eyes of the young man last night, and the cold handcuffs that had always been dazzling, and she had some bad guesses vaguely in her heart.

Maybe he really made a big mistake, or maybe he really didn't dare to face some things... This young man who was covered in injuries must have encountered a temporary desperate situation.

A child without a mother, even far away from his father, has been struggling to survive in this world at a young age, even if he really made some difficult mistakes in life, she is not willing to push him out just like last night Force him to face life with despair and fear.

Standing firmly in front of Chesu, she said word by word, "Don't go anywhere until your injury is healed. If you leave, I will be very sad."
