Chapter 499: Drunk

Tom snatched the glass from Alice's hand, he knew how much the woman had to drink, "Don't drink it, I'll have a headache tomorrow." Catching a glimpse of the ring on Alice's hand, an imperceptible tingle crossed her eye.

"I heard you say you have a fiancé, why didn't you see him?" Tom tried not to let Alice hear the tremor of his voice.

Alice rubbed her slightly hot face with her hands, "He has been back to China for a period of business trips, and some of his work needs to be handled in China. It should be a month before I get back. ”

Tom let out a secret sigh of joy. That is, he still has a month to be alone with Alice. He believed that he could regain Alice's heart during this time, and even if he couldn't remind her of that memory, he would have to walk into her heart again. This woman is his, and no one can snatch it, no one can.

Alice leaned against the railing, her head slightly dizzy. In a drowsy state, the smiling eyes of the man opposite gradually cleared up in her pupils, and she didn't know which nerve she had touched. Fragmented images and sounds cluttered up in my mind.

"All my life I have longed to be collected, properly placed, and ......carefully preserved," Alice seemed to suddenly touch a fragment, and subconsciously muttered her mouth, reciting her favorite sentence.

Tom was ecstatic, he knew that Alice had picked up a fragment of a memory, and opened his mouth to receive "save me from being surprised, from suffering, from being displaced, from having no branches to rely on......"

Alice looked up at Tom blankly, and then said, "But the man, I know, I always know..."

"He's coming, all the time." Tom's determined gaze at himself made Alice in a trance, and the chaotic mind was a man looking at a woman with affectionate eyes, and a tone of firm commitment to her.

"We... Have you seen it somewhere? She hesitated, staring into Tom's eyes.

Tom felt his whole heart tremble with excitement, but he knew he couldn't be too anxious to stimulate Alice to remember her old memories, or it might backfire. just smiled thoughtfully, "Go back to sleep, it's not early, you still have such a big homestay to manage tomorrow." ”

Alice looked at the time, and it was indeed late. After straightening up the wrinkled skirt and standing up, he saw that Tom had already taken the bottle and glass and went downstairs, pursed his lips, and followed him downstairs.

Tom put the wine glass in the sink, opened the door of the top cabinet and put the bottle in, and looked back to see Alice open the water and try to wash the wine glass out, "Don't move me to wash it." As he spoke, he stepped forward to snatch the cup from the woman's hand, and unconsciously touched Alice's hand. The blazing heat shook both of them. Alice hurriedly dodged the man's hand, "It's okay, it's okay, that... I'll just wash it," he lowered his head to hide his slightly flushed face, and quickly shook the cup and put it aside.

Tom looked at Alice's blushing face, which she tried to hide, smiled dotingly, and said nothing.

Out of the kitchen, Alice stabilized her flustered tone, "Then I'll go back to the house first, you can go to bed early... Well... Good night" said and hurriedly turned around, but a man's voice seemed to be soaked in warm water behind him, "Good night, good dream"

Back in the room, Alice leaned against the door and couldn't calm down, her heart beating fast. She didn't know why she would talk so deeply to a man she had only known for a few hours, and she couldn't explain why she was so flustered just by a simple touch, like a little girl in her first love. Standing in front of the mirror and looking at her flushed face, Alice chuckled unconsciously. He patted his face and said to himself, "Alice, don't be cranky. You are a person with a fiancé, why are you still disturbed! Go to bed! ”

That night, Alice slept unusually peacefully.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had slept soundly. At one time, she couldn't sleep at all without relying on the effect of sleeping pills, looking out the window in a daze night after night, listening to songs night after night. I don't know how many psychiatrists I saw before I removed sleeping pills from my world. But even when she fell asleep, the dreams were all fragments, and many people were crying and laughing in front of her eyes, as if they were familiar and as if they had never seen them, and as if they were herself. But when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything.

But that night, she lay down in bed and soon fell asleep, dreamless all night.

The next day, the sun warmly poured over the land, waking up the people in the city, and shining through the windows on Alice's sleeping and peaceful face. The alarm clock jingled and jingled a second time before Alice sat up lazily from the bed. Usually, as soon as the alarm clock goes off, she will wake up and never fall asleep again.

Alice stretched her waist and got out of bed, pushed open the window, and looked at the small courtyard that was slowly waking up under the sun, and unconsciously smiled. After folding the quilt and cleaning up the house, I washed up, put on my favorite dress, and went downstairs.

She first moved all the flowers and plants that she had moved into the house last night into the yard to let them receive the sun. While picking up the watering can and watering it, she said to herself to the flowers and plants, "You have to grow up quickly..." I don't know why, she suddenly felt that the sun was extra warm today, and every detail was worth her attention to.

After watering the flowers, Alice took out the tools from the house and prepared to clean up, but suddenly found that everything in the small courtyard was exceptionally tidy, and even the garbage that she forgot to collect yesterday had been thrown away. "It's strange, could it be that I sleepwalked and cleaned it up yesterday?" Alice thought to herself, remembering when she had done these things, could it...

Before she could think about it, she heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen, and Alice's eyes widened, and the vigilance she had cultivated over the years made her extra alert. She tiptoed to the kitchen door, only to see Tom busy in the kitchen with his apron on.

Alice looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, and was speechless for a moment of surprise, until Tom turned around and saw the woman looking at her in a daze, and smiled, "Woke up?" ”

Alice nodded dumbly, walked into the kitchen, saw Tom turn around and put two fried eggs on the plate, bit his lip, and said, "Outside hygiene... Did you do it? Tom was busy lowering his head to make the omelette look better on the plate, and without looking back, he said, "Yes, I saw you were sleeping, so I did it for you." ”

Alice looked at Tom seriously and said, "But I didn't get up late, I used to get up at six o'clock." Tom looked up, smiled and stroked Alice's hair, "It's not that you're up late, it's that I want to see you early, and I get up too early." Alice blushed slightly and turned out of the kitchen.
