Angel on earth

The three clasped their hands, prayed before the meal, and couldn't wait to enjoy the extravagant dinner for everyone.The atmosphere during the dinner was not awkward, the two took good care of Christine, and she also tried her best to find topics in the gap between eating meat, half sincerely and half acting, showing her happiness to the two well-meaning people.

The doctor overestimated the girl's appetite, and she burped twice before finishing the meal on the plate.As a result, Mikhail didn't know what kind of childish tantrum, and finally cut half of an apple pie for her, happily announced that the remaining two halves were his own, and was slapped on the head by Aaron.

Christine thanked her, picked up the apple pie, took a bite, and cried as she ate.

"Dr. Edwards...!"

There was a ferocious determination on the girl's face, and Aaron responded, but she didn't continue.The girl gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and ate the rich flavored apple pie with spices and syrup together with tears and snot.

After a long silence, Christine raised his head, the fierce expression still hadn't disappeared:

"I, I don't know how to say, how to thank you, if you need... You miss it all the time, don't you? Just pretend I'm Christine and I sell you myself. Please, please help Save Victor! I can read, I can do a lot of work, Victor could have left, I... from now on he will not be my brother, doctor, I know it's mean to say that because I It can’t be sold at such a high price in the city, but, but are you willing to buy me?!”

Aaron froze as he lifted the last half of the sunflower.

"Please don't say that!" Mikhail stood up, almost screaming, "Please, please don't say such... such cruel words! As I said, we don't want your return, Please……!"

"It's okay, Misha. I know... I know she didn't mean any harm. She just has no other way to pay the price." Aaron touched the back of his hand and told him to sit down, then turned to look at Christine, trying to be gentle He smiled gently, "It's okay, maybe I did misunderstand you, even... maybe I did think so. But no, Christine, no. You have a very good brother, better than me. You will be sad, He'll be sad too."

"You need...you need enough." Christine looked up at him, her teeth chattering in fear of Mikhail's reaction, "So what if people like us are sad? It's no big deal. If you wish me not to think so, I can cheer up... Really, give me a moment, I can..."

"I said don't say that!" Mikhail was almost snarling at her, and Aaron grabbed his arm before he accidentally knocked over the teapot: "Misha, Misha, help me to make the medicine. Eat Drop your snacks and get some sleep."

Christine tried hard to open her eyes wide, but after moving a little, a few tears still fell down.Mikhail felt that she was frightened and cried by him, and his momentum quickly dropped. He sniffled and asked softly:

"Why do you have to do this, Christine? Didn't I say that we don't want anything in return. Sharing what we have with you is a matter of course."

Christine wiped her eyes, lowered her head and muttered, "Because, because it's so delicious! I got it for nothing...I'm sorry! I..."

"It doesn't matter." Aaron reached out his hand to signal, and after obtaining consent, he carried her off the chair and patted the top of her head, "You didn't sleep last night, did you? You won't grow taller."

Mikhail stood up silently and cleared the table, Aaron took Christine to wash her face and mouth, bent over and asked her if she would mind sleeping in the living room at night, the fireplace in their house was built in the center of the house, any of the four rooms would be fine Enjoy the warmth.Christine nodded repeatedly and said nothing but "um".Even if the doctor suggested that she go with him to feed Victor with potion and broth, she just opened her mouth wide and closed it again.

Christine fell asleep in a chair in the ward while she waited for the doctor to dilute the medicine.The space in the ward is very small, and many tools are on the high shelf leading to the roof; it is also very dark. When it was built, it was just such a room, and practicality was not considered at all. A kid like Christine would be terrified if Victor, who smelled of blood and potion, stayed in this small dark room all night.

The doctor carried the girl back to the living room, where Mikhail had already set up a cot with chairs.No extra quilt, but it should be soft enough for Christine, and the back of the chair on one side will keep her from falling.

As soon as Aaron put Christine down, Mikhail hugged him from behind, rubbed his chin against his neck, and squeezed his soft white hair into the gap between his glasses and his cheek.Aaron raised his hand and scratched his hair, and said softly, "Go and boil some hot water, Misha. We won't take medicine soup today, let's soak it."

"I'm not afraid of suffering."

"But that's terrible." Aaron muttered, "I don't know. Good Misha, because of Joyce, we built the bath and haven't used it yet. To be honest, you and I I've been to the bottom of the mine, I don't know how long this kind of life can last... Before it's too late, let's try the hot water, herbs and essential oils that have been made these two days. Do you like chamomile?"

"Ah."

"Sweet orange, geranium, lavender? Or clary sage?"

"Sage. The water is ready."

"Haha, good Misha."

The doctor laughed, turned in his arms, patted his back reassuringly, and tiptoed to remove the bandages from his eyes.Unprepared, Mikhail sniffed in his somewhat messy hair, and was suddenly picked up by him.

"Aaron!"

"Let me try." Aaron touched his lips and stepped into the bathroom, "You are allowed to enjoy your apple pie while taking a bath today."

Mikhail opened his eyes at once.Said to be in his early twenties, Mikhail, who has kept the precepts in the church for 16 years, has not yet shaken off that kind of vindictive willfulness, and is especially interested in this kind of harmless irregular behavior.However, the doctor didn't mention it, and he didn't consider this combination.

Obediently, the boy was carried by the doctor who was much shorter than himself to the side of the bath, took off his clothes, took a shower of cold water, and got into the bath.This pool was dug by him during the winter with the "Prayer of Chastity". The stones on the four walls and the bottom of the pool were pulled from the mining area; Kilograms of fresh nuts as payment, please drill them out.The bath was completed not long ago, Mikhail has cleaned it several times, and today is the first time to use it.

Due to space and material constraints, the pool is not much larger than their bathtub, and it is enough for two people to squeeze together.Mikhail can maintain the water temperature, and Aaron often spends a lot of time in Yaranburg because of this.But today, he was not in a good mood. When he finished his meal just now, there was even thunder in the sky.Aaron stroked his back with a cold hand, but he lay on the edge of the bath and ate the apple pie that came along just now, as if it was so delicious.

After he chewed the apple pie viciously and rinsed his mouth, Aaron rinsed his hair with warm water and said helplessly, "Misha, what are you angry about? Shouldn't I be more sad? "

Suddenly Mikhail turned and grabbed his wrist, startling him.Next, those golden vertical pupils seemed to be watching his expression, and the young man's slender and broad palm slowly moved up his wrist, paused at the elbow, and came to his shoulder.

Aaron closed his eyes nervously.If he had a real heart, it must have betrayed him by now.

After a long time, Mikhail lowered his head and muttered, "You are so skinny, Aaron. Drink some of my blood, okay?"

Aaron felt relieved, and pushed him back: "Didn't you say that you are only 19 years old, and you still have a long time to spend? Wait a little longer, Misha. I don't want to drink blood anymore."

"The difference between vampires and humans does not lie in this. You are Aaron, and you are more like the creation of your father than anyone else in the world." Mikhail said, "What's more, my blood...you can be it Not human blood. Like fresh flower petals...I hope you are healthy."

"I'm already healthy, Misha. At least I don't have nightmares or headaches." Aaron said in a convincing tone and walked out of the bath, rinsed off the liquid medicine on his body with warm water, and wiped it off casually. Wiped my hair, wrapped it in a bathrobe, and said to the young man who leaned over and asked him to help wash, "When Micah took me out of Lieyang City, I was only 25 kilograms, and it was even lower in the Garden of Nations, because I begged him Drain my blood... Misha."

Mikhail froze on the spot with a coquettish expression; the skeleton he fled from Yaranburg in his arms might have weighed more than that.

Aaron patted his cheek and said wearily and calmly: "You see, I am much better than that time anyway. It can't be worse than that. Besides, haven't I been getting better? Are you Make me better, Misha, only you can."

He stood on tiptoe, dried Mikhail's body, and put on his nightgown. Before that, he couldn't help touching those flexible muscles.Mikhail picked him up horizontally, and in the midst of his reminder "I haven't taken off my glasses", he headed back to the bedroom dully.The wet white hair misted in the middle, becoming warm and fluffy like his whole body.Soft and harmless.

The boy sat on the bed and warmed up the quilt before putting down the vampire.But just after coming out of the bathroom full of steam, Aaron still shivered, hurriedly squeezed over to stick to Mikhail, but pressed the other's head down, and hugged his chest to continue the unfinished massage .

In this position, Mikhail would bend his knees, wrap his arms and legs together in his arms, like hugging an old bear whose cotton inside had shriveled and hardened, and the cold and hard sutures stuck to him forehead—that's Aaron's chin.Aaron can only rub his head and touch his back, but he can cover Aaron's chest and back, hips and thighs.If Aaron was cold, he would rub his foot against his calf.
