Lord Grimth Returns - It seems like an old friend is coming

There was no response, and at a glance, there was only an empty dining room, a cold kitchen, and even the water glasses on the dining table seemed to have not moved. Everything was exactly the same as when I left home.Startled, did I misunderstand, Suman actually didn't come back?

Bypassing the Suzhou embroidered peony screen of golden nanmu, one can see at a glance that the TV in the living room is turned on, but the sound has been turned down so low that it is almost impossible to hear it if you don’t pay attention.And on the large light beige sofa set facing the TV, there was a white and slender figure wearing a lake blue silk nightgown, curled up like a child in a deep sleep.

Suman? !Shocked, I hurried forward, dropped the key, squatted down and shouted softly: "Suman, Suman, wake up."

She was always as if she had never heard of it.The shoulder straps of the nightgown slipped off, and the long black hair curled around her thin shoulders, catching my sight.She fell asleep on the pillow, with her thin arms wrapped around her chest, and her already snow-white complexion looked even thinner and paler.Perhaps because of her sleeping position, the skirt had already been pulled up to her waist, exposing the entire length of her snow-white and slender legs, which were blown straight by the chilly air-conditioning wind.My heart tightened, and I touched her feet, almost immediately feeling the coldness in my hands.Then gently brushed away the bangs on her forehead, and wiped them with the back of her hand, as expected, she was slightly burning!

God, she has a fever!I jumped up and turned off the air conditioner first. Seeing that she was still sleeping deeply, her breathing became hotter and stickier. I was so anxious that I went to the medicine box immediately. "Suman, wake up, don't sleep, get up and take some medicine." I didn't dare to shake her too hard for fear that she would feel uncomfortable, so I had to gently rub her face. "Don't sleep, get up and take medicine, you are sick...Suman..."

I was so anxious that I was about to cry, Suman finally had a reaction.She moved her body and blinked several times due to the heavy eyelids due to the fever before finally opening her eyes.Seeing me squatting like a red-eyed rabbit in front of her, holding a pill and half a glass of water in my hand, she was probably taken aback, and asked in a low voice after a few seconds: "You are back."

Her voice was hoarse and astringent. After she finished speaking, she covered her lips and coughed softly, pulled up her clothes and sat up slowly.

I didn't even bother to ask her when she would come back. "Have you had dinner yet?" He belatedly recalled that western medicine should be taken after meals, but when he recalled that Suman slept so deeply, he didn't look like someone who had eaten dinner.Can't help but panic, what should I do, cook porridge for her now, can she wait?Let her have some pizza first?But how could she have the heart to let her eat that kind of junk food!

Sure enough, she shook her head and suddenly gave me a deep look.But just when I thought she was going to say something, she closed her eyes and shrank back into the sofa, her face pale and dignified, without saying a word.

Knowing that she is silently resisting the pain, I no longer hesitate. "I'm going to make some porridge for you. You should rest first, and you'll be fine soon."

After washing the rice, there is no time to soak it today, so just mix it with shredded pork and preserved eggs and cook it in the pot.When she went out to see her, she had already taken the remote control of the TV and pressed it absently. After only a few presses, she selected a channel, then silently shrank her legs in front of her, and stared blankly with her knees hugged.

Probably just want to listen to some human voices casually.As soon as I thought of this, I felt as if I had been stabbed to the softest place in my heart.Damn me, if I had known she would be back today—I wouldn’t have the heart to leave her alone at home without even knowing that I was sick...

I went to the bathroom and took a towel and made it half wet, wrapped it with small ice cubes from the refrigerator, walked to her and squatted down.She just sat there quietly, quite an arm's length away from me.The dark hair was parted like brocade, and the familiar fragrance of flowers and body fragrance floated in the air.The loose nightdress exposed the entire delicate and ivory-white shoulders and neck, and the beautiful and delicate collarbone stretched towards the sides like butterfly wings.It's so strange, it's obviously a sick person, but the natural temptation that seems to be born with it has not been reduced at all, but because of the tired and slumped posture, it adds a bit of moving situation, like a poisonous poison heart and soul.

I stared blankly for at least ten seconds before realizing my purpose. "Don't look at it, just lie down and cover this."

I waited quietly for a few seconds, and seeing that she ignored me, I had no choice but to put down the ice pack, hug her back with one hand, and put one hand under her groin, and moved slightly—how could a sick person have the strength to resist? , the next second, he was already knocked down with a little puff.

Before she got angry, I immediately put the ice pack on her forehead and pressed it lightly. "Don't move around, lie here obediently, and you can eat in half an hour."

She closed her eyes and did not speak, as if she had given up all her strength to resist, and was about to use such a cold attitude to deal with my concern and tension.At this moment, if I can no longer see that she is angry with me, maybe I can really hang up the southeast branch by myself.The hand that wanted to grab her was pulled away calmly, and the thin skin flushed almost immediately when it was pulled out. My heart softened, and I coaxed in a low voice: "I don't Well, I shouldn't be back so late, but I swear I really didn't know you would come home today, if I knew you were coming back, I would definitely stay at home and wait for you, I wouldn't go anywhere .”

Su Man's straight eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes upon hearing this.Her jade-like pupils seemed to have been soaked in the condensation and sorrow of a whole winter. Instead of answering my words, she asked, "Where's your cell phone?"

Startled, I immediately took out my phone and handed it to her. "out of battery."

She moved her neck, and I immediately knew how to put an extra pillow on the back of her head.She didn't talk to me too much, she directly pressed the power button of my phone with her long and slender fingers, and just a second later, the crisp and familiar startup music rang immediately.

"Hey, how come?"

I watched in astonishment as she threw the phone directly in front of me. "See for yourself."

Picking up the phone, my heart skipped a beat almost immediately.My mobile phone, which was supposed to be out of battery before automatically shutting down, actually showed half a battery, one unread message, and two missed calls.One by one, the message was sent by Miao Sa, but the phone number was Su Man and Miao Sa.

Looking at the time when Suman called, it turned out to be [-]:[-] am.I was dumbfounded. "I didn't hear the phone ringing." The phone wasn't on silent either, what's going on?

"I sent you a text message before I left." Suman frowned and looked at me, "You should have received it around eleven o'clock at night. It doesn't matter if you didn't see the message, but when I arrived, I called you It was hung up artificially. If you dial again, it will turn off the phone. Do you have anything to explain about this?"

She said these words in a hoarse voice, which made me anxious and distressed. "I didn't—God, why do you think so, how could I hang up on your phone?" I pressed the phone back and forth and thought over and over again, this is unscientific!Also, I don't have the message that Suman said in my phone at all. Could it be that my phone is broken so I didn't receive it at all?It's hard to describe the doubts and incomprehensions secretly growing in my heart. After thinking about it, I can only come up with this one possibility—dumbness.I remember that before lunch, around [-]:[-], I went to the bathroom, and the phone was lying on the desk in the dumb room, and she was the only person who might have touched my phone.

I thought about it, and subconsciously said it out of my mouth. "It's possible that Yaya touched my phone, but she has no reason to hang up on me? Could it be that she accidentally hung up while playing?"

"Heh." Suman didn't answer, but hooked the corners of his mouth lightly.

"Suman..." I, who obviously did nothing wrong, feel guilty for no reason when she smiles like that.

"Have you been at Ji's house these two days?" I was in a state of confusion when Suman suddenly asked again.

"I went there last night." I murmured, suddenly startled. "how do you know……"

Suman coughed a few more times before saying quietly, "Obviously, when I came back, Manman was already looking for water everywhere."

"..." At this point, I am already a sinner through the ages.Even if it wasn't intentional, it directly led to not being able to pick up Suman and not being able to take good care of Manman.I rubbed my eyes and said in a low voice: "Mute is ill. Ji Yuzhen called me to see her. She had a fever because she wanted to show me the osmanthus tree. I have no reason to refuse."

"Whether there is no reason to refuse or whether there is no reason to refuse."

I froze. "Suman..."

"Sigui, you make me feel that it's unnecessary for me to catch the plane back in the heavy rain." Suman smiled faintly, his cheeks turned inward as he spoke, and he no longer looked at me.

"No, no, it's not like this, Suman, don't say that..." I couldn't help crying again, "I really don't know what happened to the phone call, but trust me, I definitely didn't mean it How could I do that if I didn’t pick you up? Seeing you sick, I’d rather be the one lying here now, you know?”

"Not every time you cry, you will be forgiven." Her voice was extremely soft, and her voice was a little hoarse due to the heat.After finishing speaking, before I could react, I threw off the ice bag and sat up, reached for the cold medicine I put on the coffee table, and swallowed it with the warm water in the cup.

"Suman—"

I couldn't stop her, so I had to watch her take the medicine, her thin body regained her composure and stood up.

"You see, I can take care of myself." She said lightly, "Do whatever you want, don't worry about me."

"Suman—"

My words were drowned in the sound of her obviously frail footsteps.As soon as she finished speaking, she was already walking towards the door of the bedroom, and a few seconds later—bang!

The door is closed.
