Chapter 18: Poached Eggs
The morning light is faint. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chestnut hair hangs down between the white pillows.
The girl curled up in the quilt, breathing shallowly, her shoulders peeking out of the quilt, rising and falling slightly with her breathing.
Against the faint morning light, the shadow fell gently on the head of the bed.
The white hand gently pulled the quilt over her shoulders.
The girl frowned, turned over and kicked the quilt away, this time her head simply didn't sleep on the pillow, she curled up comfortably and her head was directly on the quilt and still slept soundly.
Silver hair hangs down the edge of the bed.
The boy stood at the head of the bed, looking down at the girl's sleeping face, his eyes a little helpless.
Meow -
Brown Sugar jumped to the head of the bed and shook her big fluffy tail slightly.
He didn't seem to notice it.
The girl fell asleep on her side facing him, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.
He looked at her quietly, his silver eyes sparkling like snow in the hazy morning light.
In the shallow morning light, he leaned down and reached out to gently ruffle the chestnut hair from her cheeks.
The hand paused slightly, as if hesitating, and gently stroked her cheek.
There was a pain in my heart.
I thought
I already know you well.
He lowered his head, his silver hair falling down, covering his face and blurring the expression on his face.
Brown Sugar lay on the side of the bed, looked at him curiously, and lazily wagged his tail.
The small wind chimes by the window were dyed with a faint morning light and made a "ding" sound.
When Qianling woke up, the light of the morning light was shining obliquely on the head of the bed, and the quilt was warm and warm, with the smell of sunshine.
She yawned and stretched wide.
I turned my face, but found that the futon next to me was empty.
"Satsuki?" she called softly.
There was silence all around.
Outside the window, cherry blossom petals slowly fall.
Her face turned a little pale, and she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
Is it ...... like last time!
"Satsuki!" she snapped to her feet, rushing towards the door before she had time to put on her shoes.
But he almost bumped into the oncoming little figure.
Silver hair fell to his feet, he held a bowl in his hand, looked up at her, and said in a faint voice: "Put your shoes on." ā
Qianling breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at the apron on his body and widened her eyes:
"You...... What is this doing?"
He gently placed the bowl on the small log table next to the bed.
Qianling curiously leaned over to see that it was a bowl of poached eggs.
"Satsuki, will you make poached eggs?!" she widened her eyes and looked at him without blinking.
Five-year-olds are so powerful now?!
"I've seen you do it before. His voice was faint, and he pushed the bowl in front of her, "Eat." ā
"Give, give it to me?" Qianling looked flattered.
Sit on a chair, pick up a spoon, and gently scoop a spoonful into your mouth.
A sweet heart of sugar flowed between the lips and teeth.
"Delicious!" she widened in surprise, much more delicious than she had cooked.
Xiao Yue sat at the table and watched her eat poached eggs in three or two bites, and the corners of her lips hooked up a slight smile.
It seems that the eggs used for practice in the kitchen trash can are not in vain.
"Satsuki, why did you suddenly think of making poached eggs?" the bright amber eyes looked at him without blinking.
He glanced at her silently and lowered his eyelashes slightly: "It's nothing." ā
It's just that I suddenly want to do something.
All he could do was make a paltry breakfast.
"Thank you, the poached eggs are delicious. ā
Qianling hugged him gently.
My heart is warm.
It's been a long time since anyone has cooked for her, even if it's just a very ordinary bowl of poached eggs.
He froze for a moment, letting her hold him without struggling.
"Xiaoyue is so cute, I can't even bear to part with you. ā
ā...... Separate?" he wondered.
"You're always going to go to school in the future," she sighed slightly, "the better schools are all going to live, and you won't be able to stay at home every day." ā
I'm afraid that I will only be able to see each other once in half a year, and she is a little depressed when she thinks of this.
He looked at her bitter gourd face wrinkled, and suddenly blurted out softly:
"I can stay here forever. ā
Rubbing his silver hair, she looked at him very seriously: "But you always have to go to school, and that's only a matter of time or time." Xiaoyue, you are still young, and there is still a lot of knowledge to learn. ā
He can't be delayed because of her selfishness.
You deserve to go somewhere better.
"In the future, I'll just cook this kind of thing. She smiled softly, picked up the bowl of poached eggs and headed towards the kitchen.
The boy stood motionless.
The silver hair was lifted by the breeze and brushed on the cheeks.
He stood dumbfounded, his eyes glazed over.
He just ...... What was said?
He was really shocked to blurt out something like that.
His eyelashes drooped, and a hint of gloom passed through his eyes.
However, she was right.
That's really just...... Sooner or later, it's just that.
Afternoon.
The sky was slightly overcast, and dark clouds were floating in the sky.
Qianling took out today's morning newspaper from the mailbox outside the door, the air was filled with a moist mist, and the newspaper was slightly wet.
Closing the door, she flipped through the newspaper in her hand at random.
His eyes were suddenly attracted by a picture in the Tianshui area.
Tall figure, fat face grinning with teeth bared as if intimidating someone.
Looking at a few eye-catching big words next to the picture, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Qianling pinched the newspaper in a daze, her face turned a little pale, and she muttered:
"How could it be ......?"
How could he suddenly die?
The person in the picture is none other than the tiger boy.
According to newspaper information, he was found dead in a deep alley in the early hours of this morning.
When he was found, he was lying in a pool of blood, his body was stiff, his neck, wrists, and ankles were severed by sharp blades, and there were multiple wounds on his body, as if he had been bitten by some wild beast.
Hands clenched unconsciously.
The person who had only seen and even spoken yesterday suddenly died today.
This feeling...... It's weird.
Qianling slowly put down the newspaper, her eyes a little dull.
The newspaper was picked up, and Satsuki glanced at the person in the picture, her face expressionless.
He looked up and saw her listlessness, frowning slightly.
ā...... You're not happy?"
She lowered her head slightly: "I hate him very much, Tiger Boy...... Always bullying people everywhere, but ...... It's not going to end up like this. ā
"He's damned. The voice was cold and calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
She looked back in amazement.
His sparkling silver eyes were cold with a hint of cruelty.
"Satsuki," she walked up to him, half-crouched, and gently held his hand, "no one rejoices in death, he may have done something wrong, but sin does not deserve death." ā
"Don't say things like that. She looked at him earnestly.
The cold voice...... It made her feel strange, not like the little moon she was familiar with.
He looked at her and pursed his lips slightly.
The hand gently broke free from her grasp, and he turned and walked towards the windowsill.
Outside the window, the dark and heavy clouds were layered, and the oncoming wind blew the silver hair on his forehead.
His silver eyes were as cold as a winter of snow, and he stood quietly in front of the window, his long hair flying, like a judge of ice and snow.
If sin deserves punishment, then death is the best price.
