"Oops! Father Lane, are you alright? Let me see. ”

Anna restrained her smile and got up from the table, asking with a hint of concern.

"No, I'm fine."

Nock covered his nose with bloody hands, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the blood slid into his mouth.

The faint smell of blood made him feel very uncomfortable.

But Mrs. Holmes, who came up in front of him, turned his discomfort into panic.

He didn't understand why, and he wanted to push Mrs. Holmes away from him.

But I didn't know why there was a trace of reluctance in my heart, and I didn't move for a while.

Anna couldn't help but rejoice when she found Nock standing there dumbfounded, not resisting her approach.

She reached out and grabbed Nock's hand, and said half-coaxing, half-persuading, "Come, take your hand away, and let me show you the injury." ”

As if out of his body, Nock allowed Anna to take his hand off his nose and hang it at her side.

"Oops, how did you shed so much blood. You're definitely on fire. Young people are angry, but they are prone to nosebleeds. It's okay, it's okay to get on fire more in the future, ma'am, I can help you. ”

"Come, put your head up, and I'll wipe it for you."

Anna pulled out a silk scarf handkerchief from nowhere with her right hand, and lifted Nock's chin with her left hand, making him tilt his head.

She herself stood on tiptoe, leaning on Nock's body, and wiped the blood from her face with the "difficult" Tenock with her right hand.

Nock felt the soft body squeezed into his arms, and the whole person instantly tensed, and his body stiffened all of a sudden, losing control of his body.

But as if Anna didn't notice it, she moved gently, carefully wiping the blood between her mouth and nostrils.

Maybe it was because the method of tilting his head worked, and there was already a hot stream gushing out of Nock's nostrils.

But as Anna wiped her hands, the scent of the handkerchief gradually penetrated into Nock's nostrils.

This made a wisp with a hint of sweat, accompanied by the smell of blood in his nostrils, burrowing into Nock's brain.

"Buzz!"

Nock's mind exploded instantly, and an inexplicable heat welled up from the bottom of his heart.

Nock only felt that his stiff body had regained its senses, as if he had regained control of his body.

And then......

Nock felt the heat in his heart getting worse.

Anna, in particular, was a head shorter than Nock, and was now leaning on Nock's arms to wipe Nock's head.

She breathed and exhaled all the breath that sprayed on Nock's smooth neck.

And because of the constant shaking of his right hand, the waves, which were originally just seen from a distance, actually hit the coastline and crashed into Nock's heart.

The sound of the heartbeat changed from "plop, plop" to "plop, plop".

Even, the body that had just softened, because of the warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, actually hardened again.

Even, it got hot!

"Oops! Why is your face so red! ”

As if she had discovered a new world, Anna couldn't help but exclaim.

He even put his hand over Nock's face.

"It's hot!" Anna exclaimed in a low voice.

"It's so soft!" Nock thought to himself.

A very different reaction appeared in the minds of the two.

The difference is that Anna directly shouted out the idea, while Nock secretly thought in his heart.

Therefore, hearing Anna's call, Nock suddenly became anxious.

He was in a hurry, and suddenly reacted a little big.

"Oops! What is it! ”

Anna was suddenly frightened and fell backwards, and her left hand covered her abdomen in fear.

Nock bent down in panic and turned his back to Anna.

Looking at Nock's reaction and movements, Anna thought back to the hot heat she had just felt, as if she understood something.

The panic on her face faded into a meaningful smile.

"So that's what happened!"

Anna, who understood what had happened, regretted her allergic reaction.

"Young people are good!"

Anna sighed in her heart, but instead of stimulating Nock, she retreated to the table and sat back in her chair.

"Father Lane, your nosebleed just stopped, don't keep your head down, hurry up and sit down and rest."

Seeing Anna retreat, Nock was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

However, when he heard Anna's greeting, he naively thought that the other party had not discovered his embarrassment, so he took a deep breath and tried to ease his state.

Then, with his back to Anna, he moved towards his seat, then quickly turned around, sat down, raised his left leg, put his left leg on his right leg, and clamped it.

"Whew~"

A series of movements were completed in the blink of an eye, and Nock finally breathed a sigh of relief as if he had unloaded a thousand pounds of boulder.

It was as if he had preserved his dignity.

Anna saw Nock's desire to cover up the action, and her heart was already happy.

It seems that her charm is still not small.

It's just that those guys I met before didn't understand the style or didn't know how to appreciate it.

At this moment, the self-confidence lost at home was recovered from Nock.

Anna had a bright and confident smile on her face.

"Father Lane, let's revisit the old story. Please help me, as long as you help me keep Sherlock in and don't let him mess around, I will definitely repay you. No matter what it takes, I'm willing. ”

After saying that, Anna didn't forget to smile at Nock.

Nock, who had only seen Mrs. Holmes' bitter face from the moment he entered the door, suddenly saw this smile, and his heart fluttered.

"Poof!"

The nosebleed, which had already stopped, spurted out again.

Fortunately, this time there was only one left nostril.

"Ahh Fast! Cover it with this! ”

Anna hurriedly handed over the blood-stained handkerchief in her hand, and the flustered Nock didn't think much about it, so he took it and blocked the handkerchief on the left nostril.

"Suck!"

"It smells so good!"

The faint fragrance of his nose made Nock shiver.

Nock hurriedly removed the handkerchief from his nose and handed it to Anna.

"Thank you, Mrs. Holmes, for the handkerchief, I don't think I need it anymore, I'd better give it back to you."

Anna looked at the bloodstained handkerchief, and said with disgust: "Forget it, it's all dirty, just give it to the priest, I don't want it." ”

Nock looked at the handkerchief in his hand in embarrassment, and said in a ghostly voice, "Huh? This, isn't this okay? Or I'll wash it and give it back to you another day. ”

Anna looked at Nock in surprise, she didn't expect the other party to say such a gaffe.

However, she was very happy with Nock's reaction in her heart, but she refused: "No need." If the priest dislikes it, he throws it away. ”

"Bell! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! ”

Ten melodious bells rang in the distance, making Anna's face change slightly, who wanted to say more.

She quickly put away her careful thoughts and looked at Nock seriously.

"Father Lane, I don't know if you can agree to my request."

Nock pinched the blood-stained handkerchief in his hand, lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly, "I'm sorry." ”

In just two words, it represents Nock's attitude of refusal.

But instead of being disappointed, Anna saw in Nock's hesitation the loosening of his attitude.

So, Anna stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt, and while Nock was looking down and didn't pay attention, she quickly walked to Nock's side and squatted down.

Before Nock could react, Anna took Nock's handkerchief arm with both hands and pleaded in a poignant tone, "Father Lane, please, help me, poor surviving man!" I don't have a ford anymore, and Seeger won't let me stay on the estate. If I want to stay, I can only rely on Sherlock to intercede for me.

So, he must not have an accident, or I will be kicked out of the house by Sigur right away. I'm a woman who stays at home, if I'm kicked out of the house, how can I live!

Please, even if you have mercy on me, help me! I'll sell my jewelry and pay you. Or if you have other conditions, I can also agree. As long as you're willing to help me! ”

Anna's desperate pleas again made Nock hesitate.

Nock didn't dare to look at Anna who was squatting on the side, for fear that he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.

He really didn't want to help the Sherlock Holmes.

Especially the Sherlock imp who wants to calculate him.

But......

Nock looked at the bright red handkerchief that shook in his sight, especially dazzling in the dim light.

Nock's gaze gradually drifted, and his mind kept flashing "promise her" and "reject her".

Suddenly, a turbulent picture flashed, and Nock seemed to see the winter earth, a snow-white one.

"Okay, I promise you."

When Nock said this, he was relieved.

Anna, who had been grabbing Nock's arm and shaking it gently, suddenly heard this sentence, and her movements stopped, and her face showed joy.

Anna was ecstatic and asked, "Oh, do you mean really?" Did you really say yes? ”

Nock looked at the woman who was smiling like a flower and nodded silently.

I thought to myself, it seems that this is not bad.

At least, he was reluctant to make the woman in front of him sad.

That's right, he's not for Sherlock Holmes, not for Sherlock.

It's for this helpless woman.

"Ahh Thank you so much! You're so nice! ”

Anna may have been overjoyed, and in her excitement, she hugged Nock.

"Momma!"

Anna kissed Nock on the face.

After doing all this, Anna was suddenly stunned, and seemed to realize what she had done.

She let go of Nock in a panic and explained nervously, "Yes... Right... I'm sorry, I'm so happy! I...... I ......"

After a long time of hesitating "I", Anna couldn't say any more, shyly covered her face with her hands, didn't even take the cloak off, threw down a sentence, and rushed out of the room.

"Oops! I...... I'm back! ”

Nock looked at the figure rushing out, and finally reacted.

He was forcibly kissed?

He was forcibly kissed by Anna Holmes!

Although the kiss was only on the face, the fleeting softness just now made his heart stir!

It turns out that a woman's lips are so delicate and soft?

A thought came to Nock inexplicably: If you can take a bite, I don't know what it tastes like?

"That's not right! Now is not the time to think about such things! ”

Nock came to his senses, grabbed the cloak that had been thrown on the back of his chair with his free right hand, and chased him out the door.
