your cigarettes

I can feel their repulsion and unfriendliness towards you, the only thing that makes Jiale feel that this place can bear it is the large sea of ​​flowers and Bai Chenmu, a friend here.

The Bai family sits on the top of the mountain, and from the balcony on the fourth floor, you can see the dark blue coast and the white buildings of the ferry in the distance. The whining of ships passing by is often heard in the quiet late night.

"Chenmu, do you have a telescope?" Jiale knocked on Bai Chenmu's room, and saw a middle-aged woman whom he didn't know was writing and drawing on a whiteboard with a book. , couldn't even speak, and backed out with a stiff body, and his voice came from outside the door after a while: "I'm sorry to bother you."

Jia Le stood outside the door and knocked his head. Country A is different from Country C. The rest days are Sunday and Monday, but his head can't always remember.

Jia Le seldom came to him in the morning, Bai Chenmu smiled unconsciously when he saw him, and signaled to the teacher that today's class is over, and went out to see that Jia Le had not gone far: "Wait a minute, do you want a telescope?" ?”

"Yeah." Jia Le ran back again and asked, "Do you have any?"

"Here I'll get it for you," Bai Chenmu quickly climbed up the ladder and pulled out the binoculars box on the top of the bookshelf, wiped off the dust on it, and looked down, Jia Le was obediently helping herself to press the ladder.

Bai Chenmu gave him the box and said, "This is it, what are you going to use it for?"

Jia Le didn't answer his question, looked around and asked, "Where's the teacher?"

Bai Chenmu said: "I let her go first."

Jia Le asked: "Then you just rest all afternoon? Great, you come with me." He dragged Bai Chenmu up the spiral stairs all the way to the fourth floor.

Bai Chenmu was almost dizzy: "Where are we going?"

"Wait, we'll be there soon." Jia Le covered Bai Chenmu's eyes, and his voice was full of joy: "I told you to open your eyes and then open them again, and you are not allowed to peek."

"Well, I see." Bai Chenmu's voice was thickly nasal, and it was obvious that he was snickering.

The fourth floor was pitch black, and the huge and heavy curtains blocked all the beautiful scenery. Jiale grabbed the curtains with both hands and shouted: "Three-two-"

"one!"

The curtains are drawn.

Bai Chenmu's eyes hurt a little from the sunlight, and he managed to open them for a long time. What appeared in front of his eyes were white clouds as beautiful as rising from the blue sea, and the dark room suddenly became bright and vivid.

"Isn't it pretty?" Jia Le complacently said, "I discovered this by accident."

Bai Chenmu took a step back involuntarily, reached out and grabbed Jia Le's arm, and his fingers sank deeply into the flesh.

What he didn't know was that Bai Chenmu hated the sea very much.

Hate blue.

Hate the smelly and salty air.

When he was very young, he was locked in a room with only one window, and he could only stand on tiptoe for half an hour every day when the delivery person left to look at the outside world from the window.

But there is nothing but sea water.

He was the only one in the boundless world, and Bai Chenmu could even imagine that if he hadn't escaped from the window and fell into the sea at that time, he might still be locked in that smelly room now.

Since then, the sea has been a channel for him to remind him of his painful experience. This sea has witnessed all his ugliness and embarrassment.

Jia Le didn't pay too much attention to the pain in his arm. He was looking at the sea outside with a telescope and said, "It's really strange here. Why did you block the balcony...I saw seagulls."

—Because it would drive him crazy.

Jia Le's pale face was slightly flushed with excitement, and he handed the telescope in his hand to Jia Le: "There are seagulls, take a look."

--Ha ha.

Bai Chenmu lowered his eyes, and said calmly, "You are amazing, what a beautiful scene."

Jia Le feels that the way Bai Chenmu looks at her is a bit strange recently.

I can't tell what's wrong, it's just creepy.

"What are you looking at?" A youthful voice sounded, and Jia Le felt a warm body on his back. He moved uncomfortably and said, "English books, I brought them from country C. came."

Bai Chenmu smiled lowly, his lips brushed the back of Jiale's exposed neck intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Let me teach you."

Jia Le scratched his neck and said, "Have you finished today's class?"

"Hmm." Bai Chenmu sat next to Jia Le, put his hand on Jia Le's thigh, and said, "Why not?"

"This." Jia Le pointed out a phrase to him: "I can't guess what it means."

Bai Chenmu took a look, and suddenly looked at Jia Le with a half-smile: "You are so cute."

Jia Le's face was a little distorted. Being called cute by a friend who is three years younger than you is a bit disgusting, like accidentally eating an apple with worms hidden in it. He put away the book and said, "Forget it, I'll go back Look it up in the dictionary."

"Angry?" Bai Chenmu raised his eyebrows, and stuck his arm directly through Jiale's shoulders to the chair: "Don't go, I won't talk about it in the future, okay?"

Jia Le is not angry, he is just awkward, no one is so close to him, although Jia Le is also very important in his heart, but some actions are still too much, but... Jia Le thought about it, and thought it might be because I don't have any friends so I don't know how to get along with friends, maybe Bai Chenmu's behavior is not wrong.

"Oh." Jia Le nodded: "I won't go, you take out your arm, it's uncomfortable."

"Hehe." Jia Le opened his book, found the page just now, put his finger on it lightly, and said, "Sexualdesire——sexual desire, I'm suddenly a little curious about your book."

Jia Le's face turned red immediately, and he hurriedly closed the book and stuffed it into the schoolbag next to him. He didn't know many words in this book, nor did he understand the content, but he just picked a word that appeared often , I didn't expect it to mean this.

Bai Chenmu saw Jia Le's twitching, and didn't continue to ask any more questions, but said: "Yesterday the housekeeper said that there was an email belonging to you, but you were not found at that time, so you put it in my room."

Jia Le shook his head and said, "It should be a book."

"Next time, just tell me what book you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you." What Bai Chenmu actually wanted was to buy the book and put it directly in his study. Jia Le would go into the study if he wanted to read a book.

"Oh, I see," Jia Le said, "But this should be mailed by the school. I will start school tomorrow in March."

"School starts?" Bai Chenmu repeated the word over and over again.

Jia Le said: "Well, it may take a long time for me to come back, because I have to stay at someone else's house."

At night, the rain poured down.

Bai Chenmu turned on the desk lamp, looked out of the window, and said, "It's still raining so late, the mountain road must be difficult to walk tomorrow."

"Are you going out tomorrow?" Jia Le asked.

Bai Chenmu shook his head: "I told you that I can't go out, but tomorrow the teachers will have some difficulties going up the mountain, so I'll have someone pick them up in advance."

Jia Le said: "I remember when I first came here, there was a road leading directly down the mountain? It doesn't seem to be a problem if it rains or not?"

"No problem, but the teachers have to pick it up in advance." He looked at Jia Le, and suddenly a thunder flashed by the window, half of his face was pale and half of his face was hidden in the darkness, Jia Le was startled, Fortunately, the thunder and lightning disappeared quickly. Bai Chenmu looked at Jiale's face and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of thunder? How timid."

Jia Le didn't tell Bai Chenmu that he frightened him, and moved to the chair.

Bai Chenmu looked at the time, it was around 20:[-] in the evening, and he said, "If you are afraid, just close the curtains."

"It's okay." Jia Le said, he was the only one reading a book in the room, he was afraid that Bai Chenmu would find him troublesome.

Bai Chenmu said: "There is always thunder, and the books are not good. It's better to draw the curtains."

Since the owner of the room insisted, Jia Le got up and went to the window, saying: "It's a bit late, I'd better go back to the room... Huh? Where is she?" Maid walking.

"Who are you talking about?" Bai Chenmu came over, squinted his eyes, and cast his eyes on Jia Le: "There is no one downstairs."

Jia Le thought it was strange that the maid whom he had misunderstood before went downstairs without an umbrella in this weather, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's fine if you don't see it." Bai Chenmu picked up the warm milk on the table, took out a glass bottle from the cabinet, put a sugar in it, and said, "After drinking this glass of milk, go back to sleep." .”

At noon, Jiale inadvertently revealed to him that he was slow to grow and short. He didn't expect the other party to be interested, and specially prepared milk for him.This feeling of being cared for is quite good, Jia Le smiled at him lightly, and said softly, "Thank you."

Bai Chenmu touched the dimple on Jiale's face with his fingers, and said, "You're welcome."

Jia Le returned to the room and had just taken a shower when he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

He yawned, wiped off the water stains on his body, changed into his pajamas and fell asleep under the quilt without even turning off the lamp.

He actually didn't sleep well that night. He always felt that something was pressing on him, his whole body was itchy, and he tossed and turned in a daze for an unknown amount of time before he fell asleep. When he woke up, his bags under his eyes were very big.

He wanted to scratch his head, but his forearm accidentally touched the pink sphere on his chest. He gasped in pain, and quickly took off his clothes. Then abnormal, he looked at another one, still the same.He was a little confused, and used his mobile phone to search the Internet for the reason. Most people said to put some toothpaste on it, and it would be fine after a while.He relieved himself, went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, and put the toothpaste on that spot by the way, it was very cold and uncomfortable.

Jia Le looked at his strange face in the mirror, wondering if he was allergic to something he ate yesterday.

His three meals are taken care of in Bai Chenmu's room. He has a small table, and the two of them sit on the carpet just right. He told the other party about the pain in his chest while eating breakfast. Bai Chenmu is very happy. He asked worriedly: "How serious is it? Do I need to take medicine?"

"It's not serious." Jia Le said, "Just talk about it online for a while."

"I can't believe it online, you go to see a doctor with me." Bai Chenmu was still worried, and said again: "After dinner, take off your clothes and let me see how the swelling is. Do you have any other discomforts?" place?"

Jia Le shook his head: "No, it's just a chest pain." He ate the toast bread in his hand in a few bites, endured the salty and hard sausage mixed with fruit juice and drank it, smacked his lips, and got up to read a book .His childhood and adolescence were lonely, and only books were with him forever.

Bai Chenmu put down his coffee and said, "Don't go to the study, let me see your chest."

"You're not a doctor, what's there to look at..." Jia Le's ears were a little red, Bai Chenmu was fine everywhere, but that face was so beautiful, it often made him feel like the other party was a girl.

"That's better than looking up the reason randomly on the Internet." Bai Chenmu rang the bell and asked people to cancel the breakfast. Looking back, he saw Jia Le sitting beside him awkwardly, and walked over to stroke his hair: "Okay, Don't be so awkward, I'll see if it's some kind of skin disease, don't worry, I've learned this kind of knowledge before, simple treatment is still possible."

Jia Le didn't understand: "Are you going to be a doctor in the future? You also study skin diseases... How scary."

"Learn it if you like it," Bai Chenmu said, "I'm learning a lot of things."

Jia Le recalled that he had accidentally seen the bookshelf of Bai Chen and Twilight's textbooks, and had a quick glance at the bookshelf, which contained various types, such as marine geology, psychology, human body structure, etc. He took off his shirt suspiciously, and said: " Then... just look at what happened to me."

Bai Chenmu was amused by the poop-like things on either side of Jiale's chest: "What are you?"

"Toothpaste." Before Bai Chenmu could say anything, Jia Le blushed. If it was really a skin disease or something, toothpaste would not work.

Bai Chenmu borrowed Jiale's bathroom to ask him to wash off the two lumps of toothpaste on his chest. When Jiale came out, he saw the other party playing with a few bottles of loose medicine with leather gloves.

"Lie here." Bai Chenmu raised his chin slightly, and pointed at the place next to him.

Jia Le believed in the other party more and more, his little heart was beating heavily, watching Jia Le pick up his own small pellets, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva in fear, and asked, "I'm fine, am I okay?"

"It's not a big problem." Bai Chenmu said, "It's not a skin disease, maybe the fabric of your pajamas is too rough, and this place is very fragile, so it's swollen."

"But why have I never had this situation before?" Jia Le asked.

Bai Chenmu flicked his head: "Then how do I know? Who knows how you slept last night, go back and change into pajamas."

"Oh..." Jia Le didn't dare to say anything after Bai Chenmu played him. He thought flatteringly: It seems that it's nothing serious.

Bai Chenmu looked at Jia Le, who was expressionless but clearly felt very happy, cleaned up the small round granules that had softened with medical cotton, applied anti-swelling potion, and said, "Your pajamas are all made of fabric. ?"

Jia Le nodded: "Yes."

Bai Chenmu said: "I won't be able to wear it anymore, I'll give you a silk one, and you can wear that one from now on."

"Then...how embarrassing." Jia Le shook his head, expressing that he didn't want it.

"It's two weeks before the servants at home go shopping, do you want to come to me every morning to apply the potion?" Bai Chenmu squeezed the small ball in his hand hard.

Jia Le shivered in pain, and glanced at Bai Chenmu complainingly, and found that her chest didn't seem to be hurting so much anymore, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared immediately, and she looked at Bai Chenmu with bright eyes.

Bai Chenmu stood up and took out an unpacked pajamas from the closet. Jiale found that it was white, and it seemed a bit like Bai Chenmu's black pajamas...

Bai Chenmu said: "This one is the same as mine. You are a little shorter than me, so it should be just right for you to wear."

Jia Le was not so willing to accept the pajamas, mainly because the pajamas were too revealing, with a belt in the middle, and her thighs were often exposed when walking, which was very slippery.

Jia Le followed Bai Chenmu out of the room, and when he turned around, he saw Mr. Butler standing in front of his room door.

Mr. Butler was not very satisfied with Jia Le's behavior of entering Young Master Bai's room when he had nothing to do. From the first time he saw this young man, he was full of contempt, mean and mean. He felt that this young man was completely unqualified. It's just a doctor's oil bottle.

"Hi, may I ask where you were after nine o'clock last night?" The butler walked up to Jia Le and asked, although his tone was polite, but the arrogance in his words and demeanor still made Jia Le feel at a loss. He took a step back, Can't help but turn his head to look at Bai Chenmu as if asking for help.

Bai Chenmu said: "He was with me, what happened last night?"

The butler's eyes flashed, but he still said something: "A piece of art in the hall is missing."

"Then you ask Jia Le what to do." Bai Chenmu's complete protection made Jia Le take a sneak look at him, and then pursed the corners of his lips.

Bai Chenmu could see all of Jiale's little actions, so he changed the subject and said, "Do you think the things were stolen?"

"It seems that there is only one possibility." The butler replied.

Bai Chenmu nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you to look elsewhere, but Jiale was with me last night, and he's not a person who knows how to steal."

"Yes, I understand." The butler bowed.

Bai Chenmu pulled Jia Le who was still standing there, and said, "Come downstairs with me."

When they were far away, Jia Le said: "You don't seem to be worried at all. Seeing the anxious look of the housekeeper, that thing should be very valuable, right?" His mind began to imagine that in the heavy rain last night, wearing black The famous thief jumped in from the window and took away the unknown artwork while everyone was not paying attention...

Bai Chenmu laughed: "No matter how valuable it is, it's just an object, so what should you do with your heart?"

Jia Le was speechless: "As soon as I heard your words, I knew that you are a rich young master. My family's ancestors have left nothing from the past for several generations."

"Let's not talk about that," Bai Chenmu said, "Just now the teacher called me and said that he might not be able to come, so let me improve my English."

"Your English teaching is terrible..." Jia Le complained.

This day is like many days in the past, the blue sky is cloudless, the sun is very warm on the body, and the dew in the morning light has not had time to evaporate, staying on the leaves to reflect a small world, calm and ordinary.

Jia Le memorized English vocabulary in Bai Chenmu's room, and was subject to spot checks from time to time. The two often laughed and quarreled as soon as they spoke a few words. Jia Le learned English very quickly, but Bai Chenmu The flip book that was often tortured by the slightly esoteric C Mandarin that popped out of Jiale's mouth was laughed at by Jiale.

until--

The arrival of lunch.

fifteen

The White family has a habit of having lunch together.

Because Bai Chenmu's teacher didn't come today to avoid suspicion, so the cook directly cooked a big meal, fresh fruits and fresh seafood, fried fish steaks with fragrant lemons, not to mention caviar, salad and Freshly squeezed juices were available.

Jia Le was hungry all morning, and when he saw the food on the table, his eyes lit up. Bai Chenmu let him sit next to him, smiled and pushed the plate towards him, saying, "Are you hungry? You eat first." Bar."

"No need." Jia Le shook his head. He still knows the rules. On such an occasion, if he eats in advance, it will easily give people a bad impression. He said, "I'll eat together later."

"Then have a glass of juice." Bai Chenmu picked up the glass and took a sip, as if he was afraid that Jiale would not even dare to drink the juice.

The cook is a rich woman. She is unsmiling and often speaks ill of others in private, but the food she cooks is really delicious.

After everyone was seated, she pushed the dining car, opened the lid, and put the milky white soup on the plate spoon by spoon. The carrots and celery used for decoration in the middle were more delicate.

Jia Le put down the cup, saw the cook scooping up the soup for herself, and said softly, "Thank you."

The cook seemed to smile at Jia Le, and suddenly squinted her eyes and turned around with a spoon in the soup pot, and suddenly screamed and fell to the ground: "Ah!!!! What is that?!"

Everyone was frightened by this turn of events. The nearest Jiale was almost splashed by the steaming soup in the dining car. Fortunately, Bai Chenmu reached out his hand in time to block it.

Mr. Butler stood up with a gloomy expression, straightened his neckline, walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The cook didn't answer, and pointed to the soup pot with trembling fingers.

The butler picked up the spoon and turned around like the cook did just now, and suddenly his face changed. Everyone watched his change nervously, but he suddenly closed the soup pot with the lid, and said after a while: "Soup There's a big bug in it, everyone don't drink it." He pushed the cart and put away all the soup dishes, and when he passed by the cook, he gave her a hand and hurried to the kitchen.

Everyone was puzzled and started discussing.

Bai Chenmu raised his hand and pressed down, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and said: "The lunch time is almost over, everyone will continue to work in the afternoon, let's eat first." Even so, Jiale noticed that Bai Chenmu He only ate a few mouthfuls of salad, he looked at Bai Chenmu curiously, Bai Chenmu whispered, "Don't eat too much, I think the housekeeper is very abnormal."

Jia Le put down the fork immediately after listening, and asked with the same decibel: "I think so too."

"Don't you want to eat?" Bai Chenmu asked.

Jiale nodded.

Bai Chenmu pulled away the chair and took Jiale upstairs directly. At the door, Mr. Butler and the cook who should be in the kitchen were standing with fear on their faces.

"Master Bai..." Mr. Butler said.

Bai Chenmu said coldly, "You didn't tell the truth this morning, did you?"

Mr. Housekeeper hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Yes, not only was a work of art lost last night, Anna was also missing. I always thought she stole something, and I have already contacted the police, waiting for her to be arrested."

Bai Chenmu let out a breath, and his expression became much more relaxed: "That's good, you guys go to lunch, or the plates will be taken away in a while."

The cook covered her face and began to cry. Mr. Butler held the soup pot with both hands, and said, "But...you can see this before drawing conclusions." He lifted the soup lid by a corner and quickly closed it.

Bai Chenmu tilted his head: "Is there something in the soup pot? Don't tell me it's the lost artwork, so should I go to the police station to drop the case and pay Anna enough mental damage?" fee?"

"It's not like that," the butler took a deep breath, lifted the lid of the pot, and scooped out a woman's soft...hand with a spoon.

When Jia Le returned to the room, she couldn't help but rushed into the toilet and vomited it out, Bai Chenmu's lips also turned pale.

"Drink a glass of water." Bai Chenmu said.

"I can't swallow anything..." Jia Le vomited acid water, leaning against the pillow very weakly.

Bai Chenmu clasped the water glass with both hands and sipped it. He suddenly asked, "Do you know who Anna is?"

Jiale shook his head.

"Take care of your maid." After Bai Chenmu finished speaking, Jia Le immediately sat up straight: "How, how is that possible?"

"Maybe that's not hers." Bai Chenmu put down the water glass and said, "Mr. Housekeeper has already reported the crime. I think the police will know the truth by doing a DNA test."

"Maybe the hand is fake, it's just an April Fool's joke," Kellogg said.

"I hope so." Bai Chenmu closed his eyes and said, "I trusted you to bring you up here, and I didn't expect it to be like this...but please don't tell anyone else, is that okay? "

Jia Le nodded: "You should believe my English accent, no one else can understand it except you."

Bai Chenmu reached out and hugged Jia Le's waist, and Jia Le moved uncomfortably.

Bai Chenmu said: "I'm very scared now, can't I hug you?"

Jia Le immediately stopped moving. Although he was also very scared now, he felt that Bai Chenmu was more vulnerable.

Bai Chenmu said, "This is the first time I've faced death directly, and it's totally different from what I expected."

"Anna isn't necessarily dead, it's just a hand." Jia Le said optimistically, he didn't believe that hand was real at all.

Bai Chenmu put his face on Jia Le's chest, listening to the sound of the beating heart in his ear, and fixed his eyes on the roof of a white church outside the distant window.

Seventeen

Jia Shen Jing didn't have dinner with everyone at noon today, so he didn't know what happened until the police came to collect evidence at dusk.

He was terrified, found the butler and threatened to resign, and asked the White family to reimburse the round-trip fare and wages.

What Mr. Housekeeper hates the most in his life is that someone resigns immediately when there is a problem in the home where he works. This makes him feel that the other party has no professional ethics. He took out the labor contract that he had drawn up early in the morning, pointed to one of them and said, "Excuse me? Is there anything difficult about the White family?"

Jia Shen Jing shook his head, barely maintained his demeanor and said: "No, I just feel that my choice to come to country A is a little too impulsive."

"Then the idea of ​​resigning is mainly due to you?" The housekeeper pointed to another one and continued to ask.

Jia Shen Jing felt that the other party's rhetorical question was a little weird, but after thinking about it, he felt that the truth seemed to be the case, so he said: "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The butler directly turned to the last page of the contract this time, pointed to it and said, "Then, please take a good look at this article, because your selfish behavior has caused a lot of trouble to the White family, so the White family will not Compensate for any loss you have suffered from coming to country A, and you need to pay us two months' wages."

"Why?!" Jia Shen Jing pointed to the contract and said, "You guys are a violent contract! Before I signed it, you only gave me half an hour to read it, and I didn't have time to read it at all."

"That's your problem," said the butler.

When Jia Le just passed by the door, he overheard the noise of his father and the housekeeper. He eavesdropped curiously for a while, and when he realized that his father was planning to leave Country A, he still couldn't help turning around and running to find Bai Chenmu.

The author has something to say:

Eighteen

Jia Le stood behind the door and dared not go in.

Bai Chenmu opened the door, and when she saw Jia Le, her pupils shrank slightly, and then she raised a smile: "What are you standing there looking at? Come in."

"I," Jia Le was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, Bai Chenmu opened the door, quietly waiting for Jia Le to calm down: "Whenever you talk to me, you get nervous, relax."

Jia Le took a deep breath and said, "I have something to tell you. Just now I accidentally heard that my father wanted to leave here."

"So?" Bai Chenmu tilted her head.

Jia Le became anxious again: "Then I have to leave too! What should I do?"

Bai Chenmu looked at the time, pulled Jia Le into the room, closed the door, and said, "Jia Le, first of all, you don't need to worry, the relationship between me and you cannot be separated by separating the two places, and your father It's impossible to leave the White's house under these circumstances, if you believe me, don't tell everyone about it after you go out, it's very bad for your father."

"What's wrong?" Jiale was confused.

"What a fool," Bai Chenmu looked at Jia Le's face and laughed, "You shouldn't have forgotten what happened at noon today, right? If you were Mr. Housekeeper, someone might have died in the house just a moment ago. What would you think if someone resigned with you for a moment, and you are still waiting for the police to arrive at this time?"

Jiale's eyes widened: "Who are you to say..."

Bai Chenmu put his index finger on his lips: "Shhh—"

Nineteen

Jia Le realizes that he and Bai Chenmu are two different people.

Bai Chenmu was very nervous and scared when he saw that hand, but within half an hour, he took the book and didn't know what to study. On the contrary, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he always felt that the hand was real.

The police finally arrived, and this was the first time Jiale saw the police. After they came in, they asked the reason and immediately closed the place. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, they inspected all the places, and finally took away the soaked pair of clothes in the soup pot. hand.

Works amazingly fast.

"I feel scared now." Jia Le poked her head out of the window, watched the police car slowly leave, and said to Bai Chenmu behind her.

Bai Chenmu turned a page of the book, the sound of paper rubbing was very obvious in the silence, Jia Le was curious about Bai Chenmu's concentration, he flipped through the first page to see the title of the book, the unfamiliar words were probably not in English.

"What kind of book is this?" Jia Le asked.

"Regarding chemistry knowledge, I've been wondering whether I should buy some chemistry equipment and try to practice on my own." Bai Chenmu said very easily.

Jia Le once again believed that he was a real genius, sat next to him for a while, and suddenly said happily: "I have studied chemistry! I will teach you."

"You will?" Bai Chenmu was worried about Jiale's performance.

"Don't underestimate me." Jia Le said confidently.

What they didn't expect was that the hand was not the end, but the beginning.

The night finally came, and it was still everyone who came to the hall to have dinner. Jia Shen Jing participated this time, but his dark circles and stubble made him look less cheerful than before.

When Jia Shenjing saw Jia Le sitting next to Bai Chenmu, he opened his mouth to scold him, but turned around to see Bai Chenmu staring at him with gloomy eyes, and closed his mouth to dare not speak.

Because of the fright she received at noon today, the cook paid special attention when making dinner. Not only did she not ask anyone to come over to help, she even pushed the cart by herself.

Jia Le didn't have a good appetite, and now he could think of that hand whenever he saw the cook's face, and then he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Bai Chenmu asked in a low voice.

"Don't you feel sick?" Jia Le asked.

While the two were whispering, the cook had already put all the dishes on the table, a golden-roasted chicken, delicious and healthy special drinks, boiled corn and vegetable wraps.

The butler knew what had happened, and when he saw the pale face of the cook when he brought the food, he knew how disgusting the other party was enduring, so he couldn't help saying: "Thank you for your love for this job. And be serious." After speaking, his gaze swept across Jia Shen Jing.

Shen Jing buried his head very low.

There is no way for him to return to country C. Credit cards and bank cards are sorted out when he enters White’s house, and these things will only be returned to you when he goes out. It is impossible to sneak away, and he can’t even afford a plane. And now he has a useless person with him...

Jia Shen Jing looked at Jia Le with disgust.

The cook pushed the cart and passed by Jia Shen Jing, Jia Shen Jing moved his nose, and suddenly stood up: "What's on your body? This strong smell is simply unbearable!" He said sharply.

The cook put down the car in a daze, and bent over to check where she smelled.

"That thing, what is it?" Someone tremblingly finished speaking, pointing to the big bright red bow on the cook's big skirt.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and they all shouted, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

The hand that had always been pale was hooking the big bow at this moment, the nails were round but bloodless, and the sticky blood was dripping on the maid's clothes little by little.

The maid immediately fainted.

Jia Le also wanted to escape, but Bai Chenmu held his hand so hard that he couldn't break free, so he simply bent down and squatted under the table, revealing his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Bai Chenmu asked.

"Aren't you afraid? It's a hand, and I'm sure it's real."
