"No! If I close my eyes, you'll...eh?"
Wiping her tears on Talina's clothes, Rosemary shook her head, looking as if she didn't care what you said.
But when she heard Talina's next words, she raised her head in surprise.
The area around her eyes was wet with tears, soaked red, and a few strands of white hair were also stuck with tears, sticking to Rosemary's forehead and profile, looking extremely funny.
"Come on, I'll stay here with you for the whole afternoon, just this once!"
Reaching out and using her sleeve to wipe away the tears from the corners of Rosemary's eyes, and combing her messy hair, Talina led her to the bed.
Pushing Rosemary back onto the bed, Talina covered her with the quilt, then leaned against the head of the bed with her right arm around Rosemary.
Looking down at Rosemary, who was staring at her blankly, Talina pinched her soft cheek with her hand: "What's wrong? Aren't you sleepy anymore?"
"Sleepy..."
A slight pain in her cheek brought Rosemary back to reality.
"Then go to sleep."
"Oh."
Rosemary agreed obediently and crawled into the quilt, pulling it to cover most of herself, leaving only half of her face exposed.
After taking out her cell phone and sending a message to Chen and Muirseth, Talina also took off her shoes, pulled open Rosemary's quilt, and lay down in it.
The bed provided by Rhodes Island was neither too big nor too small. It was just right for one person, with enough room to turn over. But if there were two people, it would be a bit crowded. Therefore, Talina had to move inside.
The two bodies inevitably touched each other.
Rosemary stayed there in a daze. Talina put her hand on Rosemary's face and said with a smile: "Then I will take a rest~"
After saying that, Tarina closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Rosemary belatedly rushed into Talina's arms, pushed away Talina's arms, and hugged Talina.
"Really...still a child?"
Awakened by the movement in front of her, Talina opened her eyes and looked at Rosemary who was rubbing against her arms. She tapped her forehead with her finger as a warning.
After being knocked, Rosemary became more obedient. She found a comfortable position in Talina's arms and stopped moving, taking a nap obediently.
Smelling the fragrance that was within reach, Rosemary closed her eyes in satisfaction.
Everything seemed to have returned to the moment when we first met, so quiet, so...
Familiar with.
After being "tortured", Talina looked at Rosemary in her arms, reached out and gently combed her hair, trying to tidy it up as much as possible without waking her up.
Listening to Rosemary's even breathing, Talina couldn't help but yawn.
"...Is it still contagious?"
Covering her mouth with her hands, Tarina also huddled under the covers.
I'm just sitting here in a daze anyway, so I might as well find a place to rest.
Thinking of this, Talina also closed her eyes.
Outside the half-open window, bright sunshine poured into the house, and the white curtains were blown by the breeze, swaying gently.
Click~
Just as Tarina was about to fall asleep, the locked door was suddenly pushed open, waking Tarina up.
Protecting Rosemary with her hands, Talina looked up and saw a brown-haired Carters standing in the doorway, looking at her with embarrassment.
Facing Amiya's embarrassment, Talina behaved calmly.
Raising her right hand, Talina raised her index finger to her lips.
"Shh~"
.........
"Will you be back later today?"
Looking at the message on his phone, Chen felt a little disappointed for some reason.
It seems I won't be able to eat hot meals when I go back today...
Putting the phone back in his pocket, Chen tidied the table and put everything on it back in place.
Since Talina won't be able to cook because she's coming back late today, she'll just work hard and go back on the next early shift to show off her skills and demonstrate her abilities!
Anyway, we have yesterday’s leftovers as a backup, so no matter how bad it is, it won’t be too bad.
After cleaning the office, Chen took his things and locked the door.
"Then I'll go first. Thank you for your hard work today."
After saying hello to Xingxiong who was busy downstairs, Chen took down his helmet and the key to his electric scooter from the wall and walked out the door.
Chen's figure attracted those who were working overtime. For a moment, the originally quiet hall was suddenly filled with continuous whispers.
Hearing the noise like flies buzzing around his ears, Xingxiong, who was working hard, suddenly raised his head and glanced around with a sharp gaze.
Just one glance and the discussion stopped.
Unlike Chen, Xingxiong had actually climbed up from the bottom. Everyone present was either her former partner or her superior, so they naturally understood the temperament and abilities of this big ghost.
The sound of discussion disappeared, and Xingxiong lowered his head again, busying himself with the work in his hands.
Outside the door, Chen couldn't help laughing as he heard the noise disappearing inside.
Sure enough, after working with her for so many years, Xingxiong's efficiency has not decreased at all.
After putting on his helmet, Chen Kua got on his electric scooter and drove out the door.
After leaving the Guard Bureau and turning left, Chen found his target and tightened the handle completely.
Behind her, two officers from the Guard Bureau who were on duty at the door looked at Chen's departing back and couldn't help but glance at each other in confusion.
"Is that Mr. Chen's house over there?"
"No way? It seems... to be a vegetable market?"
Volume 5: Chapter 44: Chen: Please
Carrying a bag of vegetables back home, Chen fumbled in his trouser pocket, found the key and inserted it into the lock.
With a slight clockwise twist, there was a click and the locked door opened a little.
Kicking the door open, Chen walked in sideways and hung his helmet and keys on the wall.
Inside the house, Muirseth sat on the sofa, cross-legged, watching TV, and said without turning his head: "Welcome back."
"Ah."
After hearing Muirseth's greeting, Chen was a little surprised, but still nodded in response to Muirseth.
Strange...
Don't you usually take the initiative to say hello?
Why is it the other way around today?
Looking at Muirseth's back, Chen was a little confused.
The three of them have been living together for some time, but this strange director of the ecology department still seems like a stranger, deliberately keeping a distance from them, and only has a slightly better relationship with Talina.
Why did you take the initiative to say hello today?
"Well...Talina said she would be back later today, so..."
Although Muirseth's previous attitude was not enthusiastic, Chen still took the initiative to communicate with this strange man based on the principle that less is more.
"Yeah, she sent me a message too."
Nodding, Muirseth looked back and said, "I just saw that there's still some food in the refrigerator. It should be enough for the two of us. I'll heat it up later. Let's just make do with it today."
After saying that, Muirseth prepared to get up and go to the kitchen.
As her landlord, she didn't want to offend Chen. Plus, she had secretly eaten some delicious food last night, and she was in a good mood at the moment. It was just a matter of heating up the food, which was a piece of cake for her!
"Um...wait a moment."
Before Muirses could take a few steps, Chen called her. Muirses turned around in confusion and saw Chen carrying vegetables.
"Do you...want to do it yourself?"
Muirseth's eyes swept over the bag in Chen's hand, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
If it was just about heating up the food, she would have no problem, but if it was about making it from scratch... she wouldn't be able to help much.
When she was at Rhine Life, she only ate in the cafeteria. If she really wanted to cook by herself, it would probably take her three hours to finish a dish.
"It's okay, let me do it. I learned some of it when I was studying abroad in Victoria. One of my classmates taught me."
Waving his hand and walking around Muirseth, Chen went straight into the kitchen. After throwing all the vegetables he bought into the sink, Chen began to get ready to show off his skills.
Muirseth stood outside the door, looking at Chen who was "familiar with the place", and couldn't help but feel itchy.
Talina has taken care of her for so long, this is a rare opportunity, and she wants to let Talina enjoy it!
"let me help you!"
.........
"Thank you both for traveling so far at night."
After getting out of the car, Talina waved goodbye to Amiya and Uncle ACE in the car.
"This is what we should do. Miss Talina, you've worked hard today. Please go back and get some rest. I'll keep an eye on Rosemary."
Poking her head out of the car, Amiya said goodbye to Talina warmly.
Although ACE, who was sitting in the driver's seat, did not speak, he raised his right hand and waved it gently.
After smiling at the two of them, Talina turned and left.
"Is it already half past seven? Chen should be off work, right? I wonder if he's eaten yet."
Looking at the time, Talina looked at the house in the distance with a dim light: "Are you back yet? It seems like you're working hard for your dinner."
Talina had good eyesight in the light and saw the two busy figures in the kitchen at a glance.
It was rare to see the two of them like this, and Talina immediately became interested and quickened her pace.
Soon, Talina came out of the house, pushed open the gate, and walked into the yard. Here, she could vaguely hear the voices of Muirseth and Chen.
"Um...is there something wrong?"
"It's okay, that's how it's done. That's how my classmates taught me."
"But it's on fire! Is it really okay?!"
"It should be... okay, right? I remember Fiona seemed to do this back then."
"Hey, hey, hey! It's going to explode! It's going to explode!"
boom! ! !
Muirseth screamed, and suddenly a loud noise was heard in the kitchen, startling Talina who was still trying to decipher the conversation between the two.
After the sound, there was a series of ping-pong and clang sounds, as if something with wings was smashing around in the room.
Then, a dark shadow broke through the kitchen window and fell into the yard outside the house, less than two meters away from Talina.
After looking at the messy kitchen and the pressure cooker still emitting smoke on the ground, Talina slowly walked up.
When she opened the lid, a subtle smell rushed into Talina's nostrils, like fish that had been fermenting in the sewer for several days.
"What are these two people...doing?"
After breaking off a green branch, Talina fiddled around in the pressure cooker, not worrying at all about the two people in the house.
One of them is a senior inspector of the Guard Bureau, and the other is the director of Rhine Life. Both of them are not ordinary people. If they could be hurt by blowing up a kitchen, they would have been fired long ago.
After rummaging for a while, Talina pulled out a large pile of black things, including a fish that had died with its eyes open and its belly still open.
"Ahaha, guessed right..."
Raising an eyebrow, Tarina looked inside the house.
She was very curious about how these two people did it. If she remembered correctly, they cooked extra food yesterday, right?
