"Are you okay now?"

Xia Li lived in Baker's house for nearly four days, and had to drink medicine every morning, noon and night, Xia Li did not hate it, and every time after drinking the medicine, Baker would bring sweet and sour prunes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your feet lately, are you okay?"

"I expected to have a seizure on this day of the month, and after drinking the bowl of green medicine last time, I didn't have any pain today. ”

"Then I'm relieved. ”

The bowl of medicine was made for Xia Li's bloodline, and she first came up with this potion because of Emily's connection, but then she didn't even use it on Emily once.

Baker finally made this magic potion and officially used it on Xia Li, and for this medicine to be effective, Baker is honestly not too worried. Before that, as an experiment, Baker had used this medicine once for himself and others, and it had the effect of strengthening the physique of ordinary people. The only time it was used on others, the object of use was an acquaintance in the Temple of the Four Directions, and like Xia Li, they were all mixed races of human race and foreign race.

The results of that experiment are still guaranteed, and Baker is somewhat confident.

"I'll prepare one for you every month. It's just that Baker looked at his hands, the process of making it was a bit troublesome, and the last step had to be done using magic.

Baker had to make a trip to the temple once a month, and he couldn't make Dennis leave his job and come to the Deep Grid Harbor every time.

“……”

"What's the matter, Mr. Baker?" Charlie was very sensitive to the tone of her voice, and Baker's strange appearance was only a little silent before it was noticed, attracting Charlie's inquiry.

"It's nothing, rest well, I'll let Neil bring it dinner." ”

"Neil, is that the boy we met in the first place?"

"yes, I think you'll get along just fine. ”

"He's scared of me...... I hadn't seen him once in a few days, and I couldn't just go out of the room. ”

"It's okay, when you can go out, I'll let him take you out. Don't worry so much, have a good rest now, Neil is a good boy, he doesn't discriminate or anything, just a little idle and runs out all day. ”

"Neil's kid has never had friends of the opposite sex, anyway, don't think too much about it. ”

Baker covered her with the quilt, turned and walked out gently.

“……”

After Baker left, Xia Li whispered alone, "Mr. Baker is a good person, those are all to comfort me, in the past few days, my father has not come to see me once, is it really that busy......?"

Baker walked downstairs with the empty bowl and saw Neil in the dining room downstairs, Baker couldn't help but glance at the time of the clock, and after putting the empty bowl into the kitchen and coming out, he still saw Neil sitting in a chair without moving.

"It's so rare, Neil, it's a little too much, don't you plan to go out and play with friends?"

“…… Travis that idiot, why am I looking for him?!" Neal replied with his chin propped up.

"Quarrel?" Baker walked over, pulled out a stool and sat down next to Neil, "What the hell has happened in the past two days, Travis gets angry at the mention of it, is it really a quarrel?"

“……”

"Help me do things that afternoon, don't waste time idle. ”

"Don't do it, I'm not in a good mood!"

"How about I add two more copper coins?"

“…… I'll think about it......"

"You little!" Baker patted Neil on the head and straightened his legs to his feet, deciding not to waste too much time on Neil.

"Help me with work in the afternoons and go out to dinner together in the evenings. ”

"Uncle, are we going to the mountains in the afternoon?"

"I'll prepare some tools now, you go upstairs and say hello to Xia Li for me, and ask her what she wants. ”

"I see, I'll go talk to her for myself. Neil jumped down from the stool and chair, and hurried upstairs with a stagger, his footsteps on the wooden floor making a dull stomping sound, and Xia Li, who was resting in the room, opened her eyes and focused her attention on the doorway.

"Is it Mr. Baker...... doesn't seem to look like ......"

Neil pushed open the door and walked in quickly, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, the young man subconsciously covered his nose, he suddenly realized that he should be quieter, the rushing footsteps stopped urgently, and moved forward slowly, step by step closer to the resting patient.

“…… Are you?"

"Ah, I'm so noisy, I'm really sorry. ”

"It's okay, I remember your name is Neil, and I'll introduce you again, my name is Charlie. ”

"I know, you're here to treat you, I'm sorry, I was so surprised when I first saw you, I probably said something very rude. In fact, until now, Neil has recalled it a little more carefully, and found that he can't recall whether he had any rude words when he first met Xia Li.

"It's okay, I don't care. On the contrary, I would like someone to talk to me more, Mr. Baker is my father's benefactor and my benefactor, I am just a patient and can't bother him too much, in fact, I really want someone to talk to me. ”

"Hmm......" Neil nodded understandingly, "It's boring when you're alone, and I agree with that." ”

"Neil, can you talk to me more?"

"Yes, you can talk to me if you want to say anything. ”

"Thank you. Xia Li showed a bright smile, her face was originally very pale, because this smile turned as ruddy as an apple, and the next second, her anger seemed to be choked, and she kept coughing.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"No, it doesn't matter...... I'm so excited......"

Xia Li coughed, and after a while, the cough gradually stopped, and her face returned to her original pale. Xia Li looked at Neil and said in an apologetic voice, "Sorry, I was so excited just now. ”

"It's okay. Neil touched the back of his head, and couldn't help but feel a little exaggerated that someone could be so excited by a word. However, Neil also understood Baker's several confessions, and Baker cared very much about Xia Li's body.

"By the way, Neil, you haven't called me by name since then. Neil, can you just call me by my name? I want someone to call me by my name, and I'll call you Neil, so you can call me Xia Li directly, don't look outside. ”

“…… I didn't see it!"

"Charlie. ”

“…… Xia, Xia Li ......" Neil's tone was a little unnatural, Xia Li could hear it, but she was very happy, Xia Li heard Neil yelling, "I'm sorry, I call someone's name for no reason." ”

"Would you be embarrassed?" Charlie didn't quite understand, "Neil, I don't know...... I just think that when a person starts by calling each other by name, it means that they have already regarded the other person as a friend. I want friends, Neil you're not much worse than me, you can be my friend, right?"

"Friends?"

"yes, there's nothing embarrassing about calling a friend by name, right?"

“…… Hmm!" Neil hugged his hands, always feeling as if he was being led by Xia Li's nose, thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with this, "Forget it, if you think it's a friend, it's a friend!"

"Thank you, Neil. Xia Li smiled happily, her clear blue eyes seemed to be able to drip water at any time, very crystal beautiful, Neil looked at Xia Li's beautiful eyes, and suddenly became at a loss, "Hey, don't really cry!"

“…… Hehe, I'm so happy, you can't help it. ”

"I can't help but don't cry, I didn't bully you!" That's why he said that he didn't want to be friends with girls, and it felt really weird.

"Because I haven't had a friend, Neil, you're the first friend I've ever known. ”

"You don't have any friends?"

"Because I've been sick and can't go out, I've been unable to have friends. ”

"Don't worry, Xia Li, you will have friends, if you have a friend of mine today, you will definitely have other friends tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Neil patted his chest, "I promise, it's only a matter of time, and besides, if you want, Uncle will be your friend." ”

"Uncle, do you mean Mr. Baker?" Xia Li laughed, and suddenly felt a little puzzled when she smiled, "Mr. Baker is not your father, is he?"

"My uncle and I are in an adoptive relationship. ”

"I see, Mr. Baker is a very good man. My father was very busy and didn't have time to take care of me, so he asked Mr. Baker to take care of me and see a doctor for me, and Mr. Baker was also very attentive and good at taking care of me. ”

"It's good that Neil has Mr. Baker, and even if it's an adoptive father, I want an adoptive father like Mr. Baker. ”

"No...... No, it's different, Charlie. Uncle is just my adoptive father, you have your father, your real family. ”

"Isn't Mr. Baker your real family if you're not related by blood?"

"It's different! I want real relatives, I want my father and my mother!" Neil kept shaking his head, denying Xia Li's statement, and he bluntly said what he wanted, what he really thought.

“…… I have a father and a mother, but my father is too busy to see me often, and I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I hope they can spend more time with me and spend more time with me, I envy you for having an adoptive father like Mr. Baker, because, Mr. Baker is always by your side......" Xia Li was stunned and slowly spoke her true thoughts.

“……”

"Sorry for talking about some not-so-pleasant topics. ”

"Nothing. ”

Xia Li smiled, "By the way, Neil, I just remembered, you actually want to tell me something when you came in, otherwise you wouldn't have taken the initiative to come in and find me." ”

"Ahh

"Huh?"

"In the afternoon, I will go to the mountains with my uncle to collect some medicine, and in the afternoon you will continue to rest here. Uncle asked me to ask you, do you like flowers, what color do you like?"

"Flowers?"

"Yes, there are a lot of herbs growing on the mountain, but there are also a lot of beautiful flowers. ”

"I like ...... Blue flowers, Neil, can you help me pick some back?" Charlie looked at Neil expectantly, expecting Neil to agree.

"I don't know if there are blue flowers, but I remember that the most growing ones were red and yellow flowers. But don't worry, I'll find a lot of blue flowers, and I'll pick them all and give them to you!"

"Thank you, Neil. ”
