“I’ll take this one.” The moment she saw that swing on the balcony in this room she liked it, finally had a little bit of womanhood.
“OK, as you wish.”
He and his voice were much more relaxed. He turned briskly, as if she had saved his life by agreeing to stay, even the faint coldness of him faded away.
“There’s my pajamas in the wardrobe, make do with one night,” he said as he walked, then the man disappeared outside her door.
Standing quietly in this strange room, everything seemed like a dream. How good it would be if it was a dream, she didn’t want to wake up, just wanted to forget all the unpleasantness in the dream she was weaving.
But those, however, were the necessities of life, and when passed, they could never be shaken off.
The room was quiet, Halle opened the wardrobe, and randomly chose one of his shirts as a pajama.
The new white shirt was a little big on her, but it was just right for pajamas, and it didn’t matter if it was a designer shirt or not, she was using it as pajamas anyway. He was right, he was the one who hit her, and he deserved to be responsible for her.
Taking the shirt, she slowly went to the bathroom, the bathroom in the bedroom. Although she didn’t love vanity from childhood to adulthood, she was used to seizing the bathroom with her classmates every day when she went to college. But at the moment, she really liked the bathroom here. At least, she didn’t have to wait in line to take a bath here.
This was a nice bathroom, with marble floors and big clean mirrors on all sides. When undressing she felt like she was being spied on, in fact, it was she that was spying on herself in the mirror.
The warm water spilled down as soon as she pressed the shiny shower nozzle. She didn’t dare wash her hole body because her leg was injured, she just took a clean towel then dipped it in the water and wiped her body, that was all she could do for she had to be careful until her leg was healed.
There were bath towels and body wash and shampoo on the shelves, the brands she hadn’t even thought of before, but now, she had the luxury of using them too.
After washing, Halle opened the bathroom door wearing Ronan’s white shirt. But outside the door, she found Ronan physically attractive. Leaning against the wall, his short hair still dripping water, from top to bottom only a bath towel tied around his waist, revealing most of his lean and wheat-colored chest without a hint of fat, making her downed her head quickly and dared not look at him.
She stared at the toes, “What … are you going to do?”
Didn’t he say that they sleep separately?
Wasn’t he the one who said wouldn’t touch her until she said yes?
What’s he doing here?
His hand suddenly reached out from behind, like a trick, took out a small alarm clock in the shape of a rabbit , “Get up at seven in the morning, don’t linger in bed.”
He also cared about this. “Hey, aren’t you going to ask for leave for me? I don’t have to go to school or go to FJ Club.”
Why did she have to get up so early? It was 3:00 a. m. and she was sleepy.
“Go to the hospital and come back, then you can sleep.”
When he finished, he put the alarm clock into her hand, “If you are late, I’ll come into and wake you up.”
She stuck out her tongue and would not linger in bed for anything.
As soon as her head hit the pillow, Halle quickly fell asleep. Sleep was such a wonderful thing, the soft spring mattress made her comfortable and happy as a baby.
Early in the morning, she was awakened by the alarm clock and jumped up in a hurry. Because she remembered Ronan’s words, if she didn’t get up, he would rush in. After washing, she found that she had no clothes to change. She had to continue to wear the one she had worn yesterday. She was uncomfortable, but she had no way.
With bare feet, she jumped out of the room in his shirt. In the dining room, Ronan waved his hand, “Come here.”
“Oh.”
She hopped over and breakfast was already set on the table. It might be ordered outside. Fried dough sticks, soybean milk, rice porridge and small dishes, which was plentiful.
She was full after a few casual bites, and she was a little uncomfortable with him around.
Because she slept too late, yawned as she ate.
“Go change.” After eating, he looked up and down at her white shirt and said in a low voice.
“Okay.” what did he look at? Since he hit her, he should be responsible to the end.
When she changed back into the clothes she had worn last night, he frowned a little and led her away without saying anything.
With him, everything went smoothly. He made an appointment with the doctor ahead of time. When she arrived, she had an examination. The X-ray could be taken in less than ten minutes. Her leg injury was not serious. However, she still had to rest, otherwise, the leg injury was really not easy to heal.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Sometimes, it was good to spend money, at least to set her mind at rest.
He drove her back to the apartment and was really determined to keep her in the apartment to nurse her leg injury.
For a week in a row, Ronan went out early and came back late. When he left, she was sleeping. When he came back, she was also sleeping. She took the apartment as a sanatorium. Three meals a day would be delivered on time. When she finished eating, someone would take it away.
The hour maid servant came in on time every day to clean her room, and she did nothing but eat and sleep, then watch TV and read books.
There were all kinds of books in the study at all times and in all over the world. She didn’t want to come out in the world of books. She had never lived such a comfortable life. She felt as if she had a holiday and completely put down all her work. It was a good feeling, but she knew that when her leg was healed, she would return to the right track. She had the answer to his question. He said he would give her a wedding, which must be a wedding with special reasons. He did not love her, also told her not to fall in love with him, a marriage without love would not be happy and would not be blessed, she didn’t want.
She would rather wait in anticipation of happiness than snuff it out of her life too soon, how cruel that would be.
The leg was really healed and she could move freely.
Tonight, she was going to wait for him to come back, as late as she could. After explaining everything, she would leave tomorrow.
He owed her for her leg injury. Now that her leg was all healed, she has nothing to do with him.
It’s been a week, all the bad feelings were packed away and hidden in the bottom of her heart. She would start her life again, the 50, 000yuan, she would earn it back with her own hands.
As long as there was hope, life would be happy and joyful.
Sitting quietly in the living room, she waited for him to return, but the door was always quiet, without any noise. She looking at the wall clock, it was already early in the morning.
Sitting on the sofa and watching the time passing by, she curled up and her heart panicked. Did he come back so late every night?
Suddenly, the phone rang in the room, she jumped up and answered the phone without thinking about it. She thought it was him, “Hello, I’m Halle.”
