Before I knew it, it was close to seven o'clock, and the sky was getting darker. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Caroline sat on the sofa in the living room, absentmindedly picked up the remote control and changed to a TV station, faintly hearing the music coming from the resort banquet hall, and couldn't help but look at the door again.

Eric said to go and prepare food for her, but now more than an hour has passed, although he knows that Eric will definitely not lie to himself, the girl still has some gains and losses, and even wonders if something happened temporarily, otherwise Eric should not have been away for so long.

Mayer walked over from the kitchen with a pot of freshly boiled water, happened to notice Caroline's eyes, and smiled: "Carly, why don't I call and ask?"

Caroline hurriedly shook her head: "No, I, I'm not hungry." ”

Mayer poured a glass of boiling water for Caroline and herself, put ice cubes in it, handed Caroline a glass, and said, "Maybe the boss is personally cooking food for you, that's why it takes so long." ”

Caroline took a small sip of the glass and said, "Mary, the party over there should have started, or you should go over first." ”

"I'm not in a hurry," Mayer shook his head and sat down on the couch, "If the boss comes back and finds me leaving you here alone, then I'm going to suffer." ”

Caroline said, "Definitely not, Eric is so good to us. ”

Thinking of everything since joining the company, Mayer also agrees with Caroline's words. Eric is really nice to everyone around her, and even if she occasionally makes small mistakes, Eric just laughs them off. Mayer felt that, apart from being a little distracted, this man was simply impeccable. Even, deep down, Mayer still has some small resentments that even she herself is not willing to admit: this guy likes to flirt with women so much, but he ignores himself.

Still, I think of that night at the villa on Garden Street in Kensington, London. Perhaps, it is not a blind eye, but she herself failed to seize the opportunity, and every time she thinks of the situation at that time, Mayer regrets why she didn't take the initiative at that time.

The two women chatted casually, and after a while, the sound of a car finally sounded outside the door.

Eric cautiously walked in with a plastic box lined with layers of cotton cloth and a white ceramic casserole on top.

As soon as Eric walked into the living room, Caroline and Mayer immediately smelled the rich aroma of meat, mixed with a faint hint of sweet corn.

After greeting the two girls, Eric walked to the coffee table next to the sofa, gently padded cotton cloth and brought out the casserole in the box and placed it on the coffee table, and ordered, "Mary, can you go to the kitchen and get some utensils?"

Mayer hadn't eaten yet, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the rich fragrance around him, nodded and got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Eric lifted the lid, the fragrance in the living room was even stronger, and said to Caroline, who looked curious: "Corn rib soup, the chef in the resort can't make it, so I asked people to go outside to find a chef to come over, and when I cooked it for the first time, the other party actually put cream, completely covering up the aroma of the ribs and the corn itself, so I asked him to remake it." Actually, I can do it myself, but I'm not very good at getting rid of the smell, and if I don't get it right, it will taste even worse. Now, you've got a foot injury, it's good to drink more bone broth during this time, and I'll find a chef to make it for you every day when you go back to Los Angeles. ”

Caroline listened to Eric's babbling, and her heart gave birth to a little sweetness, and when she heard it, she hurriedly said, "No, Eric, besides, if you eat too many of these things, you will get fat." ”

Eric smiled: "Don't worry, no, I specifically asked, pork rib soup is very nutritious, but it is actually very low in calories." ”

Mayer quickly came back from the kitchen with two sets of cutlery, and Caroline saw these and said, "Eric, there is a lot of soup, and Mary can eat it together." ”

"I don't want it," Mayer shook his head and excused himself, "I'll just go there and eat." ”

"Mary, stay along," Eric picked up a small bowl to help Caroline hold the soup, and when Caroline said this, he said, "It's enough for the three of us to eat, and you can go get another pair of cutlery." ”

Mayer hesitated, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the food, and ran to the kitchen again.

Eric helped Caroline serve the soup, carefully picked a few ribs, and tested the temperature on the outside of the small bowl with his palm against it, but it was not too hot, and then handed it to the girl and said, "Taste it." ”

Caroline carefully held the bowl in her hand, picked up a piece of ribs with a spoon and brought it to her mouth and took a very ladylike bite, the meat of the ribs was tender and crispy, although she didn't put too many condiments, but the taste was just right: "Eric, it's delicious." ”

Eric smiled, "Eat more, then." ”

"Well, Eric, you eat too. ”

Eric nodded and filled himself a bowl, and Mayer soon returned to eat together.

Although he knew that he had been a light bulb once, after drinking the last bowl of pork rib soup, Mayer was satisfied that he still deserved this light bulb very well.

After the three of them finished a pot of pork rib soup, Mayer diligently put away the utensils and left immediately with great interest.

Eric and Caroline were left in the room, and carefully helped Caroline check the splint on her foot, Eric knew that the scent in the room would take a while to dissipate, and when she was full of food and drink, the attraction of these scents would not be so great, so he said, "Otherwise, I'll take you out for a walk." ”

Caroline nodded, as long as she could be with Eric, she could do anything.

Eric got up, picked the girl up in the wheelchair, and pushed her out of the room.

Because of the size of the resort due to its vast and sparsely populated area, Eric pushed Caroline to the concrete roadway outside, blowing the cool breeze of the night. Although the sound of music in the banquet hall not far away was more obvious, Eric had no intention of joining in the fun.

The two stopped at a nearby clump of columnar cacti, which is common in Arizona, and Eric said, "By the way, I've already arranged for us to go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and I'll let Mary take care of you for the next month." ”

"Eric, the doctor said that he only needed to rest for half a month, but in fact, I don't feel so painful in my feet now. ”

"It's not okay, if you don't pay attention to such a thing as an ankle sprain, it's easy to leave sequelae, so you must be sure that you will recover 100%. Eric was resolute, and then smiled: "Don't worry, you are injured at work, you don't have to work, and your salary will be paid." ”

Caroline felt Eric's tone, so she didn't say anything more, and instead said, "Eric, in the afternoon, those reporters, will it be troublesome?"

Eric said in a relaxed tone, "Of course not, but disappointment is certain. However, we are not obligated to give them big news. ”

After walking around the resort, Eric pushed Caroline back to her accommodation, the smell of pork rib soup in the room had dissipated, and when he looked at the time, it was past eight o'clock, and Eric carried Caroline to the sofa again, and said, "Otherwise, let's rest early today, and we'll go back tomorrow morning." ”

Caroline nodded, but her eyes wandered a little, drifting to her right foot, which was holding the splint in place, and her little head hung slightly without saying anything.

Eric also realized something, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Caroline was still wearing daytime clothes, a khaki women's jacket on top, close-fitting jeans underneath, a splint fixed to her right foot, and a pink sock on her left foot, wrapped around her small and delicate feet.

Wearing these things, you definitely can't go to rest.

Realizing what was happening, Eric got up and said, "Now, wait a minute, I'll go and call Mary." ”

As he spoke, he was just about to get up, but he felt that the placket of his lichen was pulled by Caroline, and the girl's voice sounded in his ears, with a little longing and reluctance: "Eric, you, will you stay with me for a while?" ”

Eric had to sit down again: "Alright, why don't we watch TV for a while." ”

Caroline's voice became quieter, "I'm sleepy, Eric, you carry me to the bedroom." ”

Eric hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Caroline's eyes looking at her with a look of hope, he nodded, reached out and carefully picked up the girl, and said, "Where do you live?"

The apartment was shared by Caroline and Mayer, who pointed to one of the doors: "Which one is on the left?" ”

Eric walked over with the lithe girl in his arms, pushed open the door, and put Caroline on the bed in the light of the living room before walking over to turn on the light. He closed the bedroom door, walked over to the bed, pulled up the quilt for Caroline, and pulled a chair over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Caroline quietly let Eric do all this, and when he sat down next to her, she carefully turned her body sideways, her head resting on the pillow, her eyes shining at Eric, and her tone was a little shallow and coquettish: "Eric, I'm not sleepy again." ”

"Then lie down," Eric said with a smile as he reached out to help Caroline straighten up her loose blonde hair, "Do you want to listen to a bedtime story?" ”

"Well," Caroline replied, but with a little memory, "when I was a child, my mother would tell me bedtime stories, but because I always memorized the stories in the books I read, I couldn't help but argue with my mother when I heard that they were different from the books, and then my mother stopped telling me." ”

"Oh, then I don't dare to tell you, I can't remember the story in the book. ”

"You can tell a story I haven't heard of. ”

"Let me think about it," Eric said with a smile in thought, and after a moment, "once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain, and there was an old monk and a little monk in the temple, and the old monk said to the little monk, once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple in the mountain. ”

At this point, Eric stopped, and Caroline's eyes blinked, and the corners of her mouth were crooked, but she looked like she wanted Eric to continue.

Eric was stared at by Caroline for a moment, and had to spread his hands and laugh: "Well, there is no inspiration today, and I can't find a good story." ”

"Would you like to sing to me?"

"Well," Eric thought for a moment, remembering a song he had recently thought of as a Gravity interlude, and nodded, "yes." ”

After saying that, after a moment of contemplation, Eric slowly spoke, singing Elton John's "Rocket-Man".

*She-packed-my-bags-last-night-pre-flight

*Zero-hour-nine-a.m.

*And-I'm-gonna-be-high-as-a-kite-by-then

*I-miss-the-earth-so-much，I-miss-my-wife

*……

*……

Eric has always loved the sense of drift in Elton John's song.

The original version of Gravity didn't have this episode, but this time Eric decided to use it as a song played by Matt Kowalski as they rushed to the space station after Ryan and Matt's first escape.

Of course, in order to fit the environment in the movie, the song will definitely need to be properly rearranged at that time.

Caroline listened quietly to Eric's singing, and said softly, "Eric, I see that you are very similar to Kowalski." ”

Eric shook his head and said, "I can't be as carefree as him." ”

Caroline suddenly took these little insistences and said, "No, you are. ”

"Maybe it's because I already have a lot of things. Just like beautiful people always say that appearance is not the most important thing, rich people always say that money is not the most important thing. If they had nothing, they wouldn't be able to say such things. ”

"No, it's not," said Caroline, shaking her head again, "I always felt that you were different from everyone else in the world." ”

"Well, it seems that you still found out," Eric lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Actually, my hometown is in the Alpha Galaxy of the Centaur constellation, do you know that the Tunguska explosion was ninety years ago, and it was at that time that my spaceship crashed to Earth." ”

Caroline grabbed the quilt with her little hands, her delicate little face was a little delicate, and she blinked her bright eyes and said, "And then?"

Eric put away his expression and said in a serious tone: "Earthling, you already know too much. ”

"Hehe," Caroline chuckled, paused, and added, "Eric, it's uncomfortable." ”

Eric wondered, "What?"

Caroline's face began to show a little ruddy, but she was bold and said, "It's not comfortable to sleep in clothes." ”

Eric reached out and scratched Caroline's little nose and said, "You're all hurt, and you still have to think about bad things, it seems that you have learned badly." ”

"I learned from you. ”

"I'm going to charge tuition. ”

Caroline's face was ruddy, perhaps because the quilt had emboldened her, and she continued: "I have no money, only, only myself. ”

"Okay," Eric smiled helplessly, stood up and walked to the closet in the room, and said, "Take off your shirt yourself, I'll help you get a pajama, don't move your pants, bear with me all night, let the nurse come over tomorrow and remove the splint for the time being, and you can wear your skirt for the next month." ”

Eric said, opening the closet, rummaging through Caroline's neat hangers, finding a light pink silk nightdress, walking back to the bed, handing the girl who had already thrown the coat and knitted blouse out of the bed, and said, "Now, put it on first." ”

Caroline shyly took the nightdress handed over by Eric, and changed it in the quilt for a while, and after a while, it was estimated that it was dressed, so she returned to the small appearance of lying on her side just now, and saw Eric continue to sit next to her, and slowly poked out a small foot with pink cotton socks from the quilt, and rubbed it on Eric: "And socks." ”

Eric grabbed Caroline's calf, helped her take off her socks, and gently scratched the girl's soles and said, "Okay, don't make any more trouble, be careful of the splint on your leg." ”

Because of Eric's movements, Caroline moved her body with a smile, and somehow she was already lying on the bed, her whole little face buried in the pillow, and after a while, the retracted calf poked out again, and her crystal jade toes moved, as if attracting Eric's attention, and at the same time, the girl's faint but unusually clear voice sounded again: "Eric, jeans are very uncomfortable to wear, you can, you can cut them." ”

All right.

Eric suddenly realized that this girl was planning to become a sperm tonight.
