Chapter 168: A Stormy Night (2)
On the top of the mountain in the dark night, it is still stormy. Lightning and thunder, this small hill of less than two hundred meters, as if too close to the blue sky, God was furious, and he was so angry that he wanted to make its peak retreat. On the top of a dark hill, only the lights flickered from behind a glass door and shone lonely.
Xu Xuanyue was helped into the house by Ke Yuhan and sat down on the sofa in the rest area. Ke Yuhan wrapped her in a brown-gray blanket, and Xu Xuanyue found that he was wearing the clothes of a waiter in the restaurant, with a bow around his neck, and his fair cheeks seemed to be a little handsome.
"You—Why, here?" Xu Xuanyue asked, her voice trembling uncontrollably, and her whole body swayed.
Ke Yuhan got out of the shock, saw Xu Xuanyue's lips were white and her face was bloodless, and reached out to her forehead, Xu Xuanyue felt a chill in her head, and moved forward comfortably.
"It's so hot, you have a fever!" Ke Yuhan immediately stood up nervously: "You sit and don't move, wait for me." With that, he rushed to the door behind the kitchen.
Xu Xuanyue felt a little dizzy in her head, she didn't expect the temperature on the top of the mountain to be so cold at night, the inside of the house was much warmer than the outside, there was actually a fireplace in front of her, the flame was swaying on the black and red firewood, and her eyes were a little sour when she got used to the darkness. The interior of the café is warm and brownish-red, and it is a forest-themed café, but unlike ordinary cafes, there are books on the tabletops, and even the walls of the left and right areas are hollowed out bookshelves. For a while, it was confusing whether to drink coffee in the library or read a book in a café.
The pendulum clock behind Xu Xuanyue rang on the hour, she was stunned, and looked back, the hour hand was showing nine o'clock in the evening, so it turned out that she had slept alive for about 3 hours!
Ke Yuhan came out from behind the door with a set of clothes in his hand: "This is my clothes, you make do with them first, go to the back to take a hot shower, and I'll go to the bedroom to see if there is a thermometer and fever reducers or something." ”
"How are you—Why are you ......?"
"Oops, don't ask." Ke Yuhan's domineering voice carried concern for himself: "You obediently go take a shower, and then come out, if you have the strength, I will answer all kinds of questions in your head, okay?" ”
Xu Xuanyue closed her eyes and nodded, in fact, she didn't burn much confused, she was just cold and had no strength, and walked a few steps inside, Xu Xuanyue basically leaned on Ke Yuhan and paced, Ke Yuhan felt that Xu Xuanyue's soft shoulders were also cold, and instructed to adjust the water temperature to the right degree.
"Twist it to the left, it's hot water." Ke Yuhan helped Xu Xuanyue into the bathroom, and then thought of something, asked Xu Xuanyue to wait, and then rushed to the utility room to rummage, and there was a sound of Ding Lingdang inside, as if it had been turned upside down, and after a while, Ke Yuhan walked out with a smile with a non-slip mat.
After Ke Yuhan arranged and walked out, Xu Xuanyue was stunned in place for half a minute holding her clothes, and her head was empty.
After making all the preparations such as hot water, thermometer, fever reducer, cup, pillow, etc., Ke Yuhan was so tired that he sank into the sofa, looked up at the starry sky-themed ceiling, stunned, and listened to the sound of water coming from inside.
"This ....." Ke Yuhan smiled bitterly: "Can you meet it too?" ”
He got up, looked at the dark corners of the room, and thought about Xu Xuanyue's lack of strength, and went to turn on the light. There are a total of 37 lights in the store, and he only uses 7 to illuminate all the corners of the house.
Back on the couch, he added a few more sticks of wood to the fireplace.
My heart is still not very steady, as if there is a ball of candlelight swaying in my heart, burning my chest hot and itchy. Ke Yuhan hadn't seen Xu Xuanyue for nearly two months, and when he saw her again, he couldn't understand where this busy strength came from after a busy day.
He looked back at the hallway that led to the back door, and seemed to feel a little dark.
What if she comes out and hits the corner of the table? Thinking of this, Ke Yuhan jumped up again and lit up the 4 lights in the corridor, so the passage lit up. But he paced back on the foot of the table.
What if the lights are too bright and Xu Xuanyue faints when she comes out? She's having a fever!
Ke Yuhan felt a little hot, twisted the two buttons of his shirt, tried to turn off the two lights, shook his head and turned on another one, and finally moved a bench to sit down in the corridor, planning to support Xu Xuanyue when she came out.
Ants in one's pants? Be on hot coals? Upset? The time counted the seconds and turned, the minute hand turned twenty times, and Ke Yuhan also listened to the sound of water in the house for twenty minutes, and the anxiety in his heart was superimposed layer by layer.
Does it take so long to take a shower? Could it be that you have already fainted inside! Ke Yuhan was a little flustered, he got up and opened the back door, walked in and knocked on the bathroom door: "Xu Xuanyue, have you washed it?" ”
"Not yet!" There was a voice from inside, and it didn't sound like it was powerless.
"Oh, good." Ke Yuhan retreated again, still sitting in the corridor.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his mind, which worked, and his heartbeat quickly changed from surging to rhythmic. Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, it seemed to become more and more violent, and Ke Yuhan even wished it would last longer.
The English words that have been put aside for two days are easy to forget, not to mention Ke Yuhan's ability to make friends, he doesn't even know what he wants to talk to Xu Xuanyue about when she comes out. It's another thing to entertain customers in a café, you can't bend down and smile and beckon her to sit down and want something to drink, right?
He once imagined that after returning to school, Xu Xuanyue's barrage of questions and reproaches, he prepared a whole set of rhetoric. For example, if you have carefully prepared for battle, but before you can hide in the trenches, the enemy will come to you and show their teeth and claws.
In the midst of his thoughts, the door to the hallway was opened.
A wet hair seemed to be still dripping, Xu Xuanyue was wiping it with a towel, Ke Yuhan's skeleton was still much bigger than her, the plaid shirt collapsed loosely on her, the sleeves were rolled up halfway, and she also wore the gray pants she gave. Her cheeks were flushed, pink and concentrated on her cheekbones, as delicate as a washed peach.
Ke Yuhan seemed to have a fish bone stuck in his throat, and facing Xu Xuanyue, who was staring at him blankly, he couldn't speak.
"You...... Wash ...... well Finish? ”
"Obviously." Xu Xuanyue replied indifferently.
"Oh." After answering, Ke Yuhan lowered his head, and when he wanted to raise his head again and say something, Xu Xuanyue rushed over with an arrow step, pressed Ke Yuhan's shoulder on the table at the bar, and stared at him with straight eyes, and his eyes seemed to be shining with tears.
"Silly melon, you'd better tell me! Why are you here! Why don't you call me back! Why didn't you say a word to me before you left! Why did it suddenly appear in front of me again! After saying these words, Xu Xuanyue's eyes were already red, and she choked up with a slight sob.
Ke Yuhan was nervous like a dumb person, and after thinking for a long time, he finally bent down and smiled and said a word.
"Sit down first, what do you want to drink?"
It looked like entertaining a guest, and Xu Xuanyue was so amused that she burst into laughter.
"Coffee, stinky melon, put sugar on me!"
