Extra 12: Low to Dust (Dean)
"Dean?" She called me again.
I finally came to my senses and put down the hand covering the top of her hair, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Arwen will come to me at noon and have a few words." β
"What are you talking about?"
I opened my mouth, hesitated for a second and said, "It's nothing, it's just a long time no see, just talk casually." β
It's not that I don't want to tell her, but I'm a little worried that she won't be able to accept it, and she is the backbone of Awen's fan support group, and if she accidentally reveals the news, it will have a great impact on Awen.
Xuanxuan's eyebrows twisted again, took a step back, and looked at me fixedly for two seconds, and then turned around and ran out of the kitchen with her schoolbag on her back.
I didn't expect her to react so aggressively, so I was stunned for two seconds before chasing out.
"Xuanxuanβ" I called her, and ran out of the kitchen door, catching up with her as she ran around the corner at the end of the hallway.
I reached out and grabbed the strap of her school bag, but she couldn't run, so she pulled the shoulder strap of her school bag and pulled it off, then lowered her head and ignored me.
"What's wrong with you?" I looked down at her.
"......" She still bowed her head and did not speak, her right foot stood on tiptoe slightly, and the tips of her small leather shoes were sharpened on the ground.
Angry and funny, I took two steps forward, then let go of her bag and pushed her towards the kitchen, "Angry? β
She was reluctant to be pushed away by me, and she mumbled.
I laughed, and she glanced back at me, "You are perfunctory to me, you never do that." β
I jumped at the moment because her eyes were red.
I hurriedly comforted her, and then when she asked me what Awen had said when she came to me, I hesitated to tell her.
I was ready for her to cry loudly, after all, I just perfunctory about Arwen, and she was so angry and cried.
What I think is very simple, sooner or later I will know, instead of letting her think cranky, it is better to tell her now, and when she finishes crying, I will enlighten her well.
What I didn't expect was that she didn't cry, but after being surprised for a while, I asked, does Noshi know about this?
My lips moved, "I didn't ask Arwen." β
Actually, I wanted to ask at the time, but I felt that it didn't seem to make much sense to ask, whether Noshi knew it or not, his character would still do it.
And I'm not suitable, and I'm not qualified to ask......
Xuanxuan looked at me steadily, took out a tissue from her bag, wiped her nose, and said in a low voice, "I still want to eat almonds." β
"No problem." I replied to her, then hunched over and looked at her, "Are you alright?" β
She shook her head, lifted her eyes to look at me, and said to me with a slight puff in her cheeks, "I'm a little sad and want to eat the sundae." β
"No problem, no problem!" I nodded hurriedly, "I'll make you a dessert dinner today, what do you think?" β
"Okay!" The corners of her lips finally curled slightly, and then she said, "I'll go out and do my homework with my classmates first." β
"Okay."
I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, so I prepared the sundae and brought it out to them.
Then I found out that she and her classmates were really doing their homework as if there was nothing to do, and I couldn't help but feel that I was also worried.
Maybe just as Awen said, Xuanxuan is still young and is easily brainwashed, and she regards following the trend as liking, but in fact, it is good to pass that stage.
After dinner, I took them to school, and everything was as usual, but at about eleven o'clock in the evening, I received a phone call, and Xuanxuan called.
She said that Noshi drank a lot of alcohol and smashed things, and she didn't know what to do.
I was shocked, drinking, smashing things?
However, after two seconds of shock, my mind flashed to Ah Wen's proposal to Jiayi, and my heartbeat unconsciously missed a beat.
I told Xuanxuan not to be afraid, to be optimistic about her sister, and I will go over right now.
By the time I arrived at the villa, everything had calmed down, the floor was littered with broken ornaments, and Noshi was cowering barefoot in the corner of the sofa, his hair scattered and pillowed on Xuanxuan's lap.
Her eyes were closed, her cheeks were crimson, her lips were intermittently whimpering and murmuring, and I was fixed at the door of the living room, like entering an ice cave.
I've never seen her so vulnerable, so many years, and never ......
I always thought that she understood, and I always thought that she was so rational that she would eventually be able to accept it, but I didn't expect it......
Dean ......," Xuanxuan looked at me.
I clenched my fingertips tightly, breathing deeply as I walked over the debris of the place, and as I approached, I saw thin wounds on her piercing feet and ...... on her white hands
"Your sister knows?" I bowed my head and asked Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan's lips trembled, her eyes immediately turned red, and she squeezed out only half-loudly, "I, I thought my sister knew ......"
"......" I rolled my tight throat and my heart crumbled.
"I didn't mean to...... I thought ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, Noxi's hand hanging on the side of the sofa suddenly raised and waved it wildly, and said in a muffled voice, "Why...... Why ......?"
My heart, which had been crumpled together, felt like someone had been beaten again, and my uncomfortable breathing was stuck in my throat, and I subconsciously clenched my fingertips tightly to resist.
Dean ...... I ......"
I didn't finish telling Xuanxuan, I bowed my waist, passed my hand through Nuoxi's waist and neck, and picked her up, "I'll carry her back to the room first, help me take down the medicine box, your sister's wound needs to be treated." β
I just took two steps with Nuo Xi in my arms, and suddenly thought that I didn't know her room yet, so I stopped and turned my head to look at Xuanxuan, who was still sitting on the sofa, "Where is your sister's room?" β
ββ¦β¦ Turn left on the second floor to the first room. She said.
I nodded my head and turned around and walked briskly down the spiral staircase, her unconscious murmur like a spike in my heart all the way.
What could she be better than? What can't compare?
I don't know, and I can't answer......
When I got to the second room, I found that the door was open, and there was a mess inside, and there was a very weak mobile phone with a wine bottle turned on the floor......
I took a deep breath, carried her to the bed, gently lowered her, and then cleaned up some of the clutter left on the bed and moved her inside.
I was just about to check the wound on her foot, when suddenly the sleeve was tugged, "You...... Where are you going? β
I quickly turned my head to look at her, but I saw that her red and swollen eyes were half-closed, and her gaze was not in focus.
"I'm hurt."
"Where are you going?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm not going anywhere. β
She paused, closed her eyes, turned her head to the side, and lifted her hands to pull her hair.
I hurriedly took her hand to stop her, and her low whimper rang out again, "I'm no match for her...... You say...... I can't compare to her......"
I held my breath, took a deep breath, rolled my throat to soothe her, and sadly found that I couldn't even breathe a word.
After a while, she rolled over and lay half-on her stomach, the whimpering sound faded and the air became silent.
There was only a second of silence, and as if all my strength had been drained, I turned and sat down on the edge of the bed, looking sideways at her.
I raised my hand and gently brushed the hair that was blocking her face, revealing a blushing side face, her lips still slightly open, and her eyelashes trembling all the time.
It was the first time I was so close to her, so unscrupulous to look at her, but there was no paranoia and dream ape, only indescribable distress.
My gaze slid over her hand, and there were two thin scratches on the back of it, and the bloodshot was particularly striking on her delicate white hand.
My heart tingled again, and after letting go of her hand, I got up and moved to the end of the bed, grabbed her ankles and lifted them.
At this glance, not only did I wrinkle my eyebrows, but when I was downstairs just now, because of the light, I only saw fine blood stains, and when I raised my feet to look, I saw a subtle reflection, which was glass......
Why hasn't Xuanxuan come yet?!
I gently lowered her feet and turned around to find Xuanxuan, but when I turned around, I saw Xuanxuan in pajamas standing at the door, and she was followed by the maid.
"Where's the medicine kit?" I asked.
Xuanxuan paused for a second and turned her head, "Give it to me." β
I saw the maid hand her the medicine box, and I didn't wait for her to enter, but I walked up quickly, took the medicine box she had just taken, walked back to the end of the bed, put the medicine box down and opened it.
The contents of the medicine box are still complete, and there are medical clips, so I put down my heart and put the tools I want to use on the open lid so that I can take them later.
After I helped Nuo Xi treat the wound, I put the things I took out back into the medicine box just like that, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when I turned my head, I found that Xuanxuan was still standing at the door, just looking at me.
"Xuanxuan ......"
I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but before I could finish her sentence, she said, "Do you blame me?" β
I frowned, "What are you talking about?" β
"Brother Wen, I told my sister." She said, without any expression on her little face.
I frowned even more, "I don't blame you. β
"Really?" Her voice was soft and soft, and it was normal, but I couldn't tell in my heart that something was wrong.
I put the iodine in my hand back in the medicine box, stood up and walked to the door, looking down at her, "Tell me, what's wrong with you?" β
She looked up at me, paused for two seconds and shook her head, then lowered her eyes, "Nothing." β
ββ¦β¦ Xuanxuan, I don't blame you, just like you think, your sister knows, and she will know about this sooner or later. β
"......" She still kept her eyes down and didn't know what she was thinking.
My mind flashed over her calm face just now, and the gentle and gentle tone of voice, and inexplicable restlessness welled up.
I raised my hand and clasped her shoulder, "Xuanxuan, look at me." β
"......" she paused, slowly raising her eyes.
I stared into her eyes, and repeated what I had just said very seriously, her delicate eyebrows moved slightly, and then her lips deflated, her eyes turned red, and a tear fell.
"Why are you crying?" I was about to raise my hand to help her wipe away her tears, but she suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around my waist and buried her face in my chest.
ββ¦β¦ Xuanxuan? β
"I'm so sad, I thought you wouldn't pay attention to me......"
ββ¦β¦ What stupid things are you talking about. I closed my eyes, sighed softly and patted her thin back.
"Woo...... I really didn't mean to......"
"I know, I know."
"I really, really thought my sister already knew."
"Well, didn't I just say that? Even if you don't say it, she'll still know. β
"Why is this happening...... Why? Why did it suddenly become like this...... Wasn't it always good before? Everyone's ......."
"......" I rolled my sour throat and tilted my head because I noticed that my eye sockets were tingling, and I was worried that tears would fall from my eye sockets as well, "It's okay, it's going to pass...... It's going to be fine......"
