within Temptation

Chapter 236 The Sneezing Behind the Door
In my heart, I suddenly felt a little emotional.This Tang Xiaoru is really speechless.She forgave me easily the last time I offended her.Although my motives were good this time, the degree of offending her was far greater than last time.I didn't expect her to be so magnanimous. Instead of blaming me for it, she thanked me for taking care of her.

The kindest and heartiest person in the world is nothing more than that, right?No wonder I like her so much, and I still miss her so much.How can such a good woman not let men love and be attached to her?

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, I just stared at her blankly, with a little affection in my eyes unconsciously.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoru sneaked a glance at me again, and met my eyes. She seemed shy for a while, and hurriedly pulled up the quilt again, covering her eyes together, and then said coquettishly: "Look at me What are you doing? Just now...haven't seen enough?"

I was shocked, and suddenly came back to my senses.It suddenly occurred to me that although Tang Xiaoru didn't mean to blame me.But my heart is always awkward.If I don't express my apology, it seems unreasonable.

So, I pretended to cough again, and then said: "Mr. Tang, thank you, there is no need. You are both my boss and my friend. Taking care of you is what I should do. But just now... to give You cool down, I decided on my own, without your consent, I...that...that. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it was really an emergency at the time, and I had no other way to deal with it, so I had to..."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Xiaoru suddenly yelled: "Stop talking, I... I know!"

As she spoke, her body slowly slid down and lay on the bed again.The face was still covered with the quilt, and after a while, he said softly: "I didn't blame you for this matter. I know that you are purely trying to save me and have no other intentions. But... anyway , this is always a shameful thing. In the future... don't bring it up again, okay?"

Of course I understood Tang Xiaoru's psychology, so I nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do. I will forget about this matter soon."

"Really? Then...that's good!"

After Tang Xiaoru finished speaking, she huddled under the quilt and remained silent.I lost the topic for a while, so I reached out to pick up the water glass that was set aside, and blew gently with my mouth to speed up the temperature drop of the boiling water.

After about a minute like this, I felt that the boiling water in the quilt should not burn my mouth, so I said: "Mr. Tang, it's almost time, get up and drink some water. After drinking the water, go to sleep, maybe tomorrow Ill be cured."

Tang Xiaoru in the quilt hummed, but after a while, she slowly revealed her head from under the quilt. Then, she supported the bed with both hands, and raised her upper body little by little.

I hurriedly erected a pillow for her so that she could lean more comfortably, then handed the cup to her hand, and said softly: "It's almost time for me to go, tomorrow you have to go to the hospital to hang the bottle, if you need my help , just call me, huh?"

Tang Xiaoru held the water glass with both hands just now, and she was stunned when she heard the words, and said, "You... just left? What if I get burned again in the middle of the night?"

I was also in a daze, thinking that if I didn't leave, would I still be living here tonight?However, Tang Xiaoru's worry was not unreasonable. Just after returning from the hospital, her temperature returned immediately.Although the body temperature has been lowered again now, who knows if there will be another recurrence in the second half of the night?
Just as I was hesitating, my phone rang suddenly in my jacket pocket.I had no choice but to ignore this issue and took out my phone to have a look.

Ah, Felena is calling!Is it this late?It's time for her to go to bed?
Tang Xiaoru was drinking boiled water in small sips. Seeing me take out my mobile phone, she said, "Did your family come to urge you?"

I shook my head and said, "No, it's a friend of mine. You drink slowly first, and I'll go outside to answer the call."

Tang Xiaoru originally had a very casual expression, but when she heard my words, she immediately tightened her expression, looked directly at my face, and said, "Why don't you pick me up here? A woman?"

I smiled, thinking that although Fei Leina and I have nothing to shame, it's better not to meet Tang Xiaoru in front of her.After all, she has some inexplicable relationship with Felena's father, and it would always be embarrassing if Felena talked to me about it on the phone.

So, I nodded and said, "It's a woman, but she's a bit talkative. I'm afraid I'll make you rest, so I'd better go out and pick it up."

With that said, I stood up, walked out of Tang Xiaoru's bedroom quickly, and closed the door of the bedroom.Then, I pressed the call button, put the phone to my ear, smiled and whispered: "Hi, are you going to sleep?"

Immediately, Fei Leina's lazy and pleasant voice came from the phone: "Of course, don't you want to check what time is it?"

Hearing Fei Leina's voice, I felt an indescribable sense of relief in my heart.In front of Tang Xiaoru, I will be nervous and have a mentality of worrying about gains and losses.But facing Fei Leina, I have never had such a psychological burden.

With a casual smile on my face, I said unceremoniously: "Today you have to make a long story short, I still have something to do here."

"Ah? It's so late, what else do you want?"

"Don't worry about it, tell me, what interesting thing happened to you today?"

"Hmph! I don't bother with you! Let me ask you, do you have anything else to do this Saturday night?"

I froze for a moment, and said, "Saturday night? Probably not? What's the matter?"

"Since there is no one, Miss Ben will recruit you. Dress decently then, and I will take you to a party."

As soon as I heard that, I started to frown and said, "Party? What kind of party? Why did you take me there?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly came to my senses and couldn't help but say happily: "Wait a minute, you mean... you can go out at night? Your mother won't lock you up anymore?"

Fei Leina's triumphant and happy laughter came from the phone immediately, and said: "You just heard it? The reaction is really slow! Hahaha, Dai Yong, I am finally truly free! Today my mother finally let go , I agreed to go to a classmate’s birthday party on Saturday night! Do you know what this means? It means that my mother no longer doubts me, and as long as I have a chance, I can come out if I think about it!”

I was also extremely happy, and said with a smile, "Oh, I really want to congratulate you! It's not easy, it's been more than two months, and you've finally been released!"

"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about? What do you mean I was finally released? I'm not in prison! Don't use words to provoke me. Isn't it all your fault that I am like this now?"

I smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it was my fault, it was my fault. But this event is really worth celebrating, how about I treat you to dinner on Saturday night?"

"That won't work. There was a classmate of mine celebrating his birthday that night, and we agreed to have a get-together."

I was a little disappointed and said: "Really? So there is such a party? I thought it was an excuse for you to lie to your mother. Then forget it, you go to the party, and we will celebrate next time when we come out. "

"What next time? It's okay this time too? At worst, let's sneak out early during the party."

I stayed for a while, and then smiled wryly: "Sneak out? Us? I said, you don't really want to take me to your classmate's birthday party, do you?"

"Huh? Is it true? Don't you want to go?"

I……

For a while, I didn't know what to say.Although Fei Leina is now my good friend, it seems...inappropriate to take me to her classmate's birthday party, right?

During this period of silence, I suddenly heard a loud "sneeze" from the other side of the door.It seemed that someone was freezing and sneezed a lot.

Of course, Tang Xiaoru was the only one inside the door, and there would be no other person who sneezed except her.What makes me strange is that the sound of sneezing seems to be coming from behind the door panel.Isn't Tang Xiaoru lying on the bed?When did you run to the door?
