Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 44
There are many buzzing sounds in her ears.
Very messy, like arriving at a construction site. Then an engine started. Her body floated up.
Someone kept holding her hand.
She fell into endless sleep, fighting against the fallen consciousness. She tried to open her eyes and lifted her eyelids, but she couldn’t see anything.
After a long time in a muddled manner, her skin suddenly felt.
She fell into the water, and the cold water cut her like a knife.
Opening her eyes suddenly, she found herself sitting in a bathtub full of ice. The body is limp, without a trace of strength. Someone supported her from behind to prevent her from sliding into the water.
She could not speak, her throat seemed to be blocked, she could only gasp loudly.
After a while, the man fished her out of the water, wrapped her in a blanket, carried her onto the bed, and covered her with a thick quilt.
It was Helan Jingting, except for him, no one else would have the smell of deep mountain wood fern.
With that said, she still fell into his hands.
She didn’t say a word in bed. It didn’t take long for her body to heat up rapidly, and her mouth became dry, and her internal organs and six lungs seemed to be baked in the furnace. Helan Jingting measured her ear temperature and sighed at the same time.
“Thirst? Would you like to drink water?” he asked in a low voice.
It was the same suite, and the bedroom was spacious enough to hear the echo.
She opened her heavy eyelids, looked at him blankly, and nodded.
He went to the living room and poured her a glass of water. She drank it and found that she had an ice bag on her head, half the size of a pillow. Helan Jingting sat on the sofa next to the bed, holding her hand. It’s not very hard but it’s dependent. Pippi glanced at him, his face was hidden in the darkness, he couldn’t see his expression, he could only hear Ruoruuowu breathing.
“When is it now?” she asked suddenly.
There is only a slight glimmer in the bedroom. This is the habit of Helan Jingting: I don’t like bright lighting at any time. He showed her her watch, luminous, at 11:20.
“Would you like to eat? You haven’t eaten for a whole day.” He said, his tone was plain.
She was a little hungry, and felt that she shouldn’t bother him, so she said, “I’m not hungry.”
Thick curtains hang down in the bedroom. Occasionally, car lights flashed in from the curtain gap, as if a pen had smeared a stroke on his face. The fleeting light made her feel like alive. She didn’t speak any more, she was hot, lying on the bed and sweating silently.
The sheets soon got wet with sweat, and she turned over and changed to a dry place. He immediately noticed it, took a towel to wipe her sweat, changed her pajamas, and changed the sheets. There is no intimacy in his actions, but he is still cautious. She was carried around by him like a baby.
“It’s really hot in the room,” she said.
“You have a fever, forty degrees.” He took out the electronic ear thermometer, “beep”, and measured her temperature, “If it doesn’t come down in another hour, I have to take you to the hospital.”
“I’m sorry,” she said softly.
His cheeks moved, and he didn’t speak.
“I… didn’t hurt you?” She said timidly, not remembering whether the bottle of dog blood was spilled.
“It hurts,” he said, “It hurts my heart.”
Then they fell apart.
In the long cold field, Pippi fell asleep depressed.
Pippi, a strong body, had a complete fever the next day. When she woke up at dawn, her head was refreshing and her eyes were refreshed, she felt itchy. With a touch of his hand, he was pleasantly surprised to feel a layer of soft stubble. Run to the mirror to take a closer look, it’s really hair! Rolling slightly like an African.
She found Helan Jingting who was sleeping on the sofa in the living room, and she was holding a pillow with frowning brows. She didn’t wake up when she heard the noise. She rolled over and almost fell off the sofa. She walked over gently, moved the coffee table, blocked the sofa, and stood silently looking at him. The tip is soft and full of pity. His eyes turned into spring water, and they melted away little by little. She quietly took a blanket and put it on him. Helan Jingting didn’t sleep a lot at night. At most, he got tired after practicing the exercises and got up after lying down for two hours. But when he arrived in Xi’an, his biological clock took a 360-degree turn, becoming more and more like a “person”. When did Pippi go to bed, when did he go to bed, pestering her to play on the bed, and then fell asleep until dawn, waking up later than her.
They kept a polite distance all morning, and only said the simplest things to each other. For example: “There is free breakfast downstairs, you can eat it.” “Borrow the room card, I lost it.” “No change, lend me ten dollars.” “Where is the mobile charger?”
Pippi said graciously: “I’ll go to the florist to buy you some flowers and some honey by the way.” As soon as he said, his face blushed, thinking of what they had done with these two things. The result was rejected by the priest: “No need.”
It hurts a bit. She shrank her head, thinking sadly.
Of course, she had the heart to kill him yesterday, and this reaction is understandable.
The priest didn’t wince, so she had to go downstairs to eat alone.
Breakfast is a combination of Chinese and Western, as well as Cantonese morning tea. Pippi realized that he had been hungry after not eating all day, so he ate with relish and chatted with the older sister opposite. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to go back, and when he returned to the room, Helan Jingting also ignored it.
Finally, she took the remaining half a cup of coffee and slowly went up to the fifth floor, only to find that there was no one in the room. There is only one sister-in-law who cleans. She was flustered, and hurried to look at the closet in the bedroom. The priest would not divorce his wife in anger, right?
Fortunately, fortunately, both of them have their luggage.
She called him quickly: “Hey, Helan, where are you?”
The phone rang several times before he heard his lukewarm voice: “I am in the lobby on the first floor.”
“Wait, I’ll get down right away.”
Carrying her bag, she rushed out of the room at the first speed, feeling that the elevator was too slow, and walked down the stairs almost in three steps.
Looking for Helan Jingting all over the hall, he found him standing at the door of an office, holding a blind stick in his hand, looking forward blankly, as if in a line.
Hesitantly rubbing against him, not daring to hold his hand rashly, she asked eagerly, “What…what are you selling here? Are you queuing?”
“I am applying for a tour guide.”
“Isn’t there an important business?”
“The business talker was delayed by an emergency, so we will meet tomorrow instead.”
She bit her lip for a long time and said, “Where do you want to go, I will accompany you. Don’t ask a tour guide, it’s a waste of money. Besides, you should have been to Xi’an many times, right? People will have you know More?”
“I don’t want other people’s historical knowledge, I only need one person to lead the way.”
She whispered: “Can I show you the way?”
He shook his head firmly: “No.-My life is in danger with you.”
“Ah…I have already apologized to you…”
His face remained stern, ignored her, and continued to line up.
A service lady received them: “Which line do you want to go to? We have a one-day tour on the east line and a two-day tour on the west line. We are still on the Huashan special line…”
Pippi felt that the service lady was professional enough. Obviously, he saw Helan Jingting holding a blind stick and stuffed a stack of colorful brochures into his hand. Can the east line, the west line, and others distinguish things at this time?
“I only need a tour guide to help me lead the way,” Helan Jingting didn’t mind taking a booklet, “Just stroll around the city.”
The lady hurriedly said: “I’m sorry, the tour guides of our company are all tied to the coach. If you need a separate tour guide, you can try Tianhong Travel Agency on the South Second Ring Road. But their charges may be more expensive. I have Business card, do you want it?”
Just as Helan Jingting was about to open her mouth, Pippi rushed and said, “Don’t don’t. Thank you.”
After that, he pulled him out of the door, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: “Let’s talk, I will take you where I want to go, and I will ensure that the service is thoughtful and hard work.”
After a long time of boredom, he finally said: “I want to see the ancient city wall.”
“No problem! Be careful, there are three steps below.” She grabbed his hand naturally, and he grabbed her naturally.
