After I divorced from chaos step

My long-awaited new Marvel movie "The Eternals" was released in the winter, but on the eve of the release, a large-scale influenza outbreak broke out in Yokohama, and I was caught by it.

Green Valley Izuku gave me sick leave and asked me to go back to recuperate.The Internet is full of information about the movie, if you are not careful, you will be spoiled, so I have no choice but to stay off the Internet for the time being.At this age, I can't do the thing of insisting on going out to watch movies even when I'm sick.

The hospital was overcrowded. My condition was not too serious, so I just went to a nearby clinic to prescribe some medicine.

I think of the scene of running in the snow and ice of Siberia wearing single clothes and trousers when I was young, as if I had a very unreal dream.

The sound of the violin and the unpredictable aurora flowing on the shore of Lake Baikal will never appear in my dreams now.

"Don't come here, I have a cold, it's not good to infect you. Ranbu-san, be obedient."

I put down my phone, took out a tissue from the heart-stopping tissue box, and wiped my nose.

I didn't tell my parents about the cold to prevent them from rushing over from Kamakura in the first place.Except for the colleagues in the firm, no one else should know.

But failed to hide the chaos.

He booked two tickets to the movie "The Eternals", and when I emailed him to tell him that he couldn't go because he was too busy with work, he immediately guessed that I was sick.

Right.Many cases in the puppet agency are solved by him, so he naturally knows that I will not be too busy.

"Just let me take a look at you in the video?" He tried to be cute on the phone, "Qingxixi, let's make a video call."

"No."

I was lying on the sofa like a dead dog, my nasal voice was so nasal that I wanted to complain.

The house is a mess, it has not been cleaned for two days, all the dirty clothes are piled up in the clothes basket, and the garbage has not been thrown away.I didn't cook for the past two days, I ordered delivery, and I guess the room smelled of beef bowl, but I couldn't smell it at all.

Had Poe himself seen the flat he rented for me spoiled like this, he would have regretted it too.

After hanging up Ranpo, I went to the kitchen to pour some water to drink.The vegetable basket is full of potatoes, taro and sweet potatoes sent by Grandma Hanamaru, and there are also a lot of fresh lettuce and chickpeas she sent last week in the refrigerator.

There is a small bucket next to the vegetable basket, and there is a big black fish in the bucket.I have eaten a lot of sea fish since I was a child, and there are only a handful of opportunities to taste fresh and tender lake fish.Grandma Hanamaru caught several snakeheads in Crescent Moon Lake, and gave me the biggest one.

I fell ill before I could slaughter the black fish.

"Ah-"

I sneezed again, my nose was sore, and physiological tears flowed from my eyes.

I continued to crawl back to the sofa to rest, and when I was drowsy in sleep, the doorbell rang.

I was having a dream of riding an ostrich in the desert when I was awakened by the doorbell and reluctantly opened my eyes.

You don't even need to think about who is outside the door.

I pretended to be asleep to no avail, and the doorbell kept ringing, so I put on a mask and opened the door.

"Qingxixi, I'm here to see you!"

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ranbu holding a big box and grinning.

"I bought you a delicious chocolate cake! It's delicious!"

… Well, chocolate cake is not really a good idea to give to a sick person.

But I saw fine sweat on the tip of his nose, and I knew he must have traveled a lot to buy this cake.

"Thank you Ranpo-san." I was about to take the cake box, but Ranpo didn't give it to me.

"Qingxixi, you are sick now, and you can't eat it yet. No matter how greedy you are, you have to endure it. You Xie Ye asked me to bring you a special medicine. I think you should be able to eat chocolate cake at night."

"Okay, I will pay attention, and please thank Ms. Xie Ye for me."

I don't intend to let Luanbu come in for a sit-down. The first is that I have a cold and I will infect him. The second is that the house is a mess and I really can't show it to others.

"Ranbu-san, if there's nothing wrong, hurry up—"

"Ah, you didn't open the window for ventilation!"

The chaotic steps interrupted my "exit order", and I stepped in with a lift of my heel.

There were no spare slippers at the entrance, so he took off his shoes and stepped on the floor in white socks.

"How can you not open the window to ventilate when you have a cold! This will not work!"

The moment he opened the heavy curtains, slightly dazzling sunlight came in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the dust particles shone golden under the sunlight.

wow.

He opened the glass window.

The wind was blowing in from the outside, and it was a little bit cool, but mixed with the bright sunshine, it immediately made people feel a lot more comfortable.

The air began to flow, and the whole room seemed to wake up, and the feeling of oppression was swept away.

I didn't know until I opened the window. It turns out that the weather is so good today.

"Qingxixi, cough." Luanbu cleared his throat pretending to be serious, and then pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, "I'm here to supervise you to take your medicine."

From the raised corners of his mouth to the raised brows, there was a smile that couldn't be concealed.

I folded my arms and looked at him: "How do you know I didn't take the medicine?"

"Because I saw the medicine box you put in the entrance, you don't like the tablet medicine, it will make you find it difficult to swallow, so you didn't take medicine at all—" Ranbu dug out a medicine from his small bag The small brown medicine bottle poked a straw and held it up in front of me, "It's okay, I brought liquid medicine. Drink it all in one go, I will praise you!"

I took the bottle subconsciously, but didn't drink it right away.To be honest, someone suddenly ran to my house and gave me a bottle of medicine. Even if it was the familiar chaos, I would hesitate.

"This is not bitter."

"Oh."

I don't really care if it's bitter or not, as most medicines are bitter.But it would be better if it could be sweeter.

The sweet and cold liquid entered the mouth, immediately relieving the dryness and discomfort in the mouth.

"tasty?"

There is some kind of cautious hope in the cat's chaotic green eyes, like a child waiting for rewards and candies.

I nodded: "It's delicious."

He immediately beamed, as if he had gotten the best snack in the world.

"It's the cantaloupe flavor you like. I specially asked Xie Ye to mix it for you."

After drinking the medicine, I couldn't chase away customers anymore, so I had to pour some juice for Luanbu.He immediately stopped me: "Qingxixi, you rest, I will do housework for you!"

"Huh?" I think my ears are broken.

Seeing the suspicion on my face, Luanbu pursed his lips unhappily: "You don't believe this detective!"

"Can Ranpo-san do housework?"

"Of course I will, I have a major breakthrough! I have improved! Please call me Edogawa Progress!"

People probably brag when they get excited, even if they walk in disorder, they can't be exempt from vulgarity.

"Mr. Edogawa Progressive, then tell me, where have you improved?" Seeing his expression, I also wanted to tease him.

Luanbu opened his mouth and came: "Sweep the floor, wipe the table, wipe the floor, sort garbage, fold clothes, bathe the ducks in the bathroom, clean the bathtub..."

He played quite a lot, and I praised him very cooperatively: "Wow, Ranbu-sang is very good, and he has made great progress! Thousands of miles a day!"

"Don't rush to praise me. I haven't finished talking yet. When I finish speaking, let's praise together." Luanbu continued with his fingers, "I also learned to water flowers, repair bicycles, repair toilets, change light bulbs, meal--"

At this point, Luanbu clenched his small fists: "Qingxixi, you must not have lunch yet, I'll cook for you!"

"No, this is really unnecessary."

Still cooking?I suspect he can't even make instant noodles.

"you do not believe me?"

His face sank again, and his mouth was pursed high, giving me the urge to hang the lid of the pot on his mouth.

We were in a stalemate for nearly a minute before I let go and said, "Then it's hard work, there are cup noodles in the kitchen, so you can boil water for me, and be careful not to burn yourself."

Anyway, the house is already so dirty, so there is no need to worry about what will happen to him.

Yosano Akiko's medicine probably had a calming effect, and I quickly fell asleep on the sofa again. This time, I slept until dark.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room were closed long ago, and only a small night light was turned on.

The coffee table was cleaned up, the leftover takeaway boxes were put away, and the sundries were also cleaned up into a box.I straightened up and found a hot water bottle in my arms at some point.

warm.

The washing machine on the balcony was running at high speed and had entered the final drying mode.I was just about to feel that Luanbu had really learned to do housework when I suddenly heard crackling sounds from the kitchen.

"Don't move! Obediently let this detective kill you! You will die quickly!"

……No way.

Didn't you let him boil water for instant noodles?Should he not-

I hurried to the kitchen, and was instantly shocked by the scene in front of me.

I saw blood all over the wall.

It's like there's been a really bad homicide.

Luanbu was holding a kitchen knife and chasing and killing the black fish writhing on the ground.

The black fish is ferocious by nature and has great strength. Before slaughtering it, you should knock its head unconscious while it is not paying attention. Even I didn't have the courage to confront it head-on, so Ranbu actually chose to fight it when it was awake.

Well, very aboveboard.

"Don't run!" Luanbu finally caught Heiyu, his clothes were covered in blood, "Qingxixi, I subdued it, a detective is omnipotent!"

Luanbu grabbed the black fish and held it up to show off to me, the fish slapped him in the mouth with its tail.

The smile on his face froze, and his head drooped suddenly.

"How can you plot against me! You are too bad!"

Seeing his angry and frustrated look, I couldn't help laughing.

"Qingxixi, you are laughing at me!" He angrily threw the black fish into the pool.

"No, I didn't laugh at you." I covered the corners of my mouth with my hands, and took another tissue to wipe the water off his face.

He frowned: "but I saw you smiling just now."

"Not really."

His skin is soft and delicate, I wiped the water for him, and kissed him where he was drawn by the fish's tail.

... After the kiss, even I couldn't explain my behavior.

Probably brain pumping.

"What did you do to me just now?" Luanbu opened his eyes and leaned over, "This detective can't reason it out at all, please Miss Qingxi to reproduce the scene."

His limp demeanor suddenly became fierce and serious.

"Don't, don't get too close to me." I took a step back and leaned against the wall behind me, "...I have a cold and it will be contagious to you."

"It doesn't matter." Luanbu propped his hands against the walls on both sides of my cheeks, enclosing me in a narrow area, "Then you can infect me. A detective can't stop searching for the truth just because he has a cold. ah."
