Theolod had gradually recovered from his initial stunnedness, and he looked at the person in front of him. In terms of momentum, Nattle at this time is indeed a bit aggressive and oppressive, but with that sense of oppression is the tension that he tries to hide, hidden by him in those gray-blue eyes.

Rao is like this, Theolod can also feel the seriousness of the other party, he is not joking.

The watery kiss just now left a tingling sensation on his lips that he had never experienced before, and the warm touch had not dissipated even now. Theolod pondered the cause of the tingling sensation, and he knew that his heart had skipped a beat at that moment, but he wasn't sure if it was good or bad.

So he pondered for a while before calming his mood with a cautious answer: "Before...... You're not kidding? ”

"......" may have been the unresponsive attitude of Theolod at the moment that made him panic, and Natel couldn't answer for a while, but he also knew that he must not back down at this critical moment, so he stepped forward again, and used the pressure of Guò to hide his inner panic.

Nattel's action made Theolod have to take a step back, but there is no way back behind him, there is a soft "bang", his butt hits the table, his arm accidentally touches the large bowl of flour, he instinctively looks back to see if the bowl of flour has been spilled by himself, fortunately, the bowl shook for a moment, sprinkled a little powder, and was safe and stable.

In the next second, Theolod saw a slender and powerful hand appear beside him, and felt an object close to the side of his face. He turned his head again, and found that Natel was so close to him at the moment, so close that he could even feel the heat on the other's body, so close that he thought that if Natel lowered his head slightly, he would be able to touch his lips again.

In an oppressive position, Natel was trapping Theolod between his strong arms. In terms of stature and height, Nattel is indeed much taller than Theorod.

"Now, you still think I'm joking?" Natel deliberately lowered his voice and moved closer, forcing Theolod to lean back and raise his hand slightly between the two of them to avoid letting the warm air blow into his ears.

In fact, this scene is also a bit like being pounced on by a large dog similar to Doberman and licking his face desperately, and he has to try to lean back to avoid the rough tongue and saliva.

The air between the two was almost squeezed clean by Nattel, and Theorod suddenly found it a little difficult to breathe. To be honest, he has been alone for so long, it is impossible to say that he is not a little moved, at least he will definitely have some "physical movement" physically. Of course, this is not about what kind of physiological reaction he has now, but about ...... Everyone understands that physiological needs, needs and reactions are not the same thing, although many times there is a response because of needs.

So, he thought about it for a moment and said, "...... Well, I can give you what you want, but after that, can you give up? ”

“…… Abandon? ”

"You know what I'm referring to, Nat, you want a real kiss, okay, I can give it to you, or even the next series of follow-ups." Theorod looked at Natel calmly, his tone was a little slow, and this calmness made Nattel's face gradually sink, but Theorod continued as if he hadn't noticed this, as if he was talking about some business.

"Of course, I don't think I can treat my friend as my lover, so I can continue to do nothing after this qiē happens, and keep our BFF (Best Friend Forever) relationship. If you can too, we can ...... tonight."

"Bang-"

Theorod's last words were stopped by Nattel's fist, which slammed into the corner of his mouth, and in a defenseless manner, he knocked down the bowl of flour and other things along the way.

"You're such a, you know? You're a bastard! Natel clenched his fists, unable to bear it, and glared at Theorod angrily, giving him a middle finger.

Theolod propped himself on the table with one hand and touched the corner of his beaten mouth, he saw a little blood on his finger, no wonder it hurt so much. However, he had seen Nattel punch out people's teeth before, which showed that this guy was still a little sane when he shot just now.

"I'm sorry......" Theolod licked the corners of his mouth, looking at the mess of the ground, his voice was a little low, but when he looked up at the angry Natel again, his apologetic voice once again had the same scumbag smell as before, "But I have to make it clear...... It's great for you... I'm fine, and I'm telling the truth, and if you figure it out, you can start at any time. ”

"You ......" Natel was so stimulated by Theolod that he almost punched it again, but this time he endured it, he waved his fist, and finally put it down fiercely, and said with a grin, "Okay, Theorod Lecht, you are very good, I discovered your concept of love for the first time, and thank you for letting me see this clearly, let me see the person I like clearly!" But I'm sorry, I'm sorry we don't get along, so if you want to, you should think that the previous ones were all my delusions. ”

Natel said, knocking Theolod off the shoulder, leaving Maggie's house and slamming the door open.

Theolod stood there, looking at the flour on the ground, and finally chuckled and sighed, crouched down to pick up the utensils that had fallen on the ground, and swept up the broken bowl and flour with a broom, and put them in separate garbage bags, he didn't want them to hurt Maggie's hands.

"Theo, what's wrong with this kitchen? What about Nattel? When did he leave? The kid didn't say hello to me before he left, and it seemed that the older he grew up, the less he took me as an old woman. Maggie, who had been sitting on the balcony knitting sweaters, walked into the kitchen and looked at the flour-stained floors and tables, as well as Theorod, who was cleaning, and said a little strangely.

Maggie is old, her ears are a little difficult, and sometimes she has to turn up the volume to hear clearly.

"I accidentally spilled the flour, and Nat was in a hurry so he left suddenly."

"What?"

"I said I accidentally spilled the flour, and Nath was in a hurry so he left suddenly."

"What do you say? I still haven't heard clearly......" Maggie frowned at Theolod, she finally noticed the wound at the corner of his mouth, and immediately walked up to him, and said with concern, "Theo, what's wrong with your mouth?" It was fine before, but why did it suddenly break the hole? Let's take a good look. ”

Seeing Maggie carefully touching his wound for fear of hurting him, Theolod's heart softened, and suddenly he felt that the whole person was panicked, he quickly grabbed Maggie's old hand, worried that she had seen something flawed, raised his voice, and gave her a big smile: "It's okay, grandma, I just accidentally bumped it, this little injury, it will be fine in a few days." ”

Maggie heard it clearly this time: "Knocked? You kid, how old are you, why are you still as careless as you were when you were a child, when you were a child, you fell everywhere, and when you grew up, you also fell everywhere? You are a big star now, how can you knock on such a handsome face of my grandson? And the last time you did, the wound on your arm...... My poor child, you have suffered so much......"

“…… Actually, it's nothing ......" Theolod found that in front of Maggie, it was difficult for him to continue to disguise many things, at this moment, the smile on his face was a little reluctant, and in order to make his tone normal, he had to lower his voice again.

Maggie looked at him lovingly, apparently she didn't hear that sentence clearly, and the picture of her hitting him with a broom seemed to be yesterday, and before she knew it, she had become an old man with a staggering step and a furrow face.

Theorod was silent, and suddenly hugged Maggie tightly.

"Sorry, grandma, sorry......"

"How can you be sorry or not sorry with your family? Did you do something sorry for grandma? Maggie, who was suddenly hugged by her grandson, was slightly stunned, and patted Theolod on the back with a smile.

"I'm sorry I couldn't take care of you......"

"What are you talking about, Theo? If it weren't for you, I would still be living in a dilapidated house in North Las Vegas, but look at the present? You are much more productive than your father, and grandma is proud of you! ”

"Sorry......"

"Alright, alright, it's okay, stop apologizing, my child."

"No, I'm really sorry, really, I'm not, I'm just ......" Theolod put his head on Maggie's shoulder, he paused suddenly, seemed to choke, and took a long breath, I don't know if it was Maggie or the others, muttering, "I'm sorry......"

Maggie, on the other hand, gently patted him on the back, as Theolod had cried every time she threw herself into her arms as a child.

In any case, Theolod seems to have really succeeded in dispelling all thoughts of Natel about him, at least for the next few days, including on Natel's birthday on November 30.

Natle's mother, Helen, invited Theolod and Maggie to her house, and Maggie was of course happy and glad to go. However, Theolod reluctantly told Maggie that he had some work to deal with that day and couldn't take time out to accompany Maggie. But he also told Maggie that he believed that with the relationship between the two of them, Natle would not mind, and that he would find a chauffeur to take Maggie there.

The driver was no one but Herman.

“…… So, you asked me to send your grandmother and give this to Pope and pretend it was a gift from me? What is it? Herman looked at Theolod lying on his couch with a pinball, handed him the glass of water and medicine, and gave him a noncommittal look at a wrapped gift box on the table.

"Who Framed Roger Rabbit." Theolod sat up and took the medicine.

“……？” Herman expressed his confusion with his eyes.

"A DVD of a movie, a comedy, you don't care about the specifics."

"And what about my other gift to Mr. Pope?" Herman pointed to another wrapped gift, which by shape was supposed to be a book, a gift he had prepared, his own.

"Who rules that a person can't give two or more gifts to another person on his birthday?"

“…… Well, you're the boss, you have the final say. Herman withdrew his glass, "Wait until I get back to continue our session, now you can rest for a while." There are some records over there that are suitable for you, and I have also collected some movie DVDs, not much, and if you want to sleep in, blanket in the old location, make this your home, Mr. Lechter. ”

Theorod waved his hand wearily to show that he understood.

Herman, of course, saw that Theorod and Natl were in a bad mood, and that they might have quarreled - and it is inconceivable that a good-natured person like Theorod would quarrel - so that Natl did not want to see him at the moment, so Theorod had to come up with this way to get him to take his gift and lie that it was his own.

Helplessly, he remembered that on the first day of Theorod's return, he had spoken to Natel, who was his patient's assistant and friend, and asked him to pay attention to Theorod's affair, apparently the grumpy guy didn't remember it at all.

But when Herman saw Nattell, he had a different idea.

After all, this guy doesn't look like someone who doesn't want to see Theorod.

Herman witnessed him go from disappointment and disgust at seeing him, to his surprise at having two gifts delivered to him, to his stunned when he opened the "other" gift he had given him, to the stunned moment he saw the name of the DVD, then from stunned to ecstatic giggling, and finally to bitterness and helplessness.

Well, Herman was pretty sure that something must have happened to the two of them, maybe they misunderstood each other or something, or they were hiding from each other or something.

Herman, who has come from the past, said that he actually quite understood.
