While Russell was half asleep and half awake, he felt something light and fluffy, itching on his face.
When he opened his eyes sleepily, he saw a pair of fluffy white dog ears moving.
That was none other than Delphinium. She did not get under the quilt, but lay on her side outside the cup, putting her head on the same pillow as Russell, and looked at him with a smile.
When Russell sleeps, he doesn't take up much space.
Whether it was at his own home or at Delphinium's house; whether he was in the school dormitory or sharing the same bed with Delphinium... he would only occupy a small space and curl up in a ball to sleep.
.As if if this were not the case, I would feel uneasy.
At the beginning, Delphinium would still feel uneasy and aggrieved. Because the way Russell cowered in the corner alone, he looked so pitiful. It was as if he was bullying him...
Because of this, Delphinium once suspected... did he kick Russell a few times after falling asleep, or was he not sleeping well and would press his body on him to drive him away?
Delphinium specially installed a surveillance camera to take a look at what she looked like after she fell asleep. The answer was that she didn't move at all, and it was indeed Russell who slowly moved over.
But he doesn't necessarily have to stay away from Delphinium. It's okay if he leans on her side... But it becomes extremely intimate, as if he wants to rub himself into Delphinium's body. In short, he
It means that he must lean on "one side" to relax, and it is impossible to fall asleep in the "middle". If he sleeps in the middle, he will slowly squirm in one direction in his sleep until he hits something, or
He only stopped when he was almost falling.
But every time Delphinium dragged Russell back from the bed, he would slowly squirm back on his own. Over time, Delphinium got used to it - if he didn't sleep with Russell in his arms, he would slowly shrink to the bed by himself.
The place farthest from the delphinium.
It’s very bed-saving.
This big bed, which originally belonged to Alice, is obviously a spacious double bed, but it looks like it can accommodate three people...
In order to save space, this double bed has one side against the wall. Russell is now at the angle between the bed and the wall, with his back against the wall and facing the room.
Delphinium was lying in the middle of the bed, pinching a strand of her own hair, and gently brushing Russell's eyelashes, eyebrows and nose tip like a small brush. It was like this was not hair, but a makeup brush, and she was applying it
Russell wears the same makeup.
"Wake up."
Delphinium came close to Russell's ear and whispered.
"Ugh..."
Russell shrank his neck and put most of his head under the quilt.
"I can't move..."
He said angrily under the quilt, "I am sealed by the quilt..."
"It's not winter now, can this quilt still eat cats?"
"Eat the cat. The quilt eats the cat..."
Russell responded vaguely.
When Delphinium heard this, she raised her eyebrows and got a taste of Russell's state: "Didn't you go to bed at ten in the morning? You haven't gotten enough sleep in eight hours?"
"I watched the news for a while..."
Russell's words were unclear, and his throat made a purring sound like a cat.
But Delphinium understood what he meant.
The implication is that the time you go to bed does not mean the time you go to sleep.
"Didn't I tell you to sleep first...how long have you been playing?"
Delphinium was a little helpless.
Russell quietly opened his eyes and looked at the delphinium.
After confirming that Delphinium was not angry, he whispered: "I must have gone to bed after three o'clock..."
"...Three o'clock?"
"Three-thirty. Three-forty...forty-five, almost."
"...That is to say, you just slept for more than an hour, right?"
Delphinium's face was full of helplessness: "How many times has this happened..."
Obviously she came back several times, but
Seeing Russell quietly huddled under the quilt with his eyes closed, he looked like he was sleeping soundly. So she didn't dare to come close to disturb Russell... After all, with Russell's sensitivity, if she just called his name gently,
, even if he is really sleeping, he will wake up immediately.
Russell didn't sleep well because he was taking care of himself. Delphinium knew this very well, so she didn't bother Russell, and didn't even dare to stay here for lunch. She was worried that the aroma of lunch would wake Russell up...
...I specially closed the door quietly and went to the bar on the first floor to eat.
She came back several times to confirm whether Russell was awake or not - although Boss Langyin told her many times that she could go out for a walk and he could help keep an eye on Russell; he also said that Russell was already an adult.
Don't be so nervous about him, just leave it alone and go out to play.
But Delphinium is still worried...
It's not an overly idealistic or self-respecting reason like "I think he needs me".
But because, when Russell and Delphinium were chatting, she remembered that Alice died of illness. And after her death, Russell had no relatives on Sogo Island... and he immediately went to Happiness.
island.
When she realized that there was really only one bed in Alice and Russell's "home"... she was sensitively aware that no one had lived in this bed for a long time, but it was still kept neatly by the boss Langyin.
The bed was the same bed where Alice died.
Delphinium's psychic ability is related to "love". She can clearly feel that Russell deeply loves his mother...and loves Alice who raised him alone. Alice's death did have a profound impact on Russell.
It caused a great impact and even changed Russell's personality in a certain sense.
So, when Russell returns to his old place and lies on this bed again, will he first miss his childhood, or will he think of Alice's death first?
The answer is self-evident.
How can the blurred memories buried deep in the brain compare to the despair of a year ago?
Delphinium was very worried whether Russell would fall in love with the scene. She was sobbing alone on this bed, recalling the loneliness, despair and helplessness of the past...
Others regard him as their predecessor, leader, idol, hero, savior... and even the devil who destroys the world.
But Delphinium only regarded him as her partner and lover.
She regards Russell as a human being. A fragile mortal who can be happy and frustrated, angry and sad.
She came back several times, not to supervise whether Russell had slept or not. She was worried that he would have random thoughts and couldn't sleep, or that he would lose control of his emotions while lying here.
If that were the case, she would be able to appear by Russell's side in time when he needed her comfort. Instead of leaving him "alone".
...As a result, she never expected that Russell didn't sleep at all.
With Russell's specialized hearing and the fact that he was leaning against the cement wall with poor sound insulation, he must have heard everything. As he approached the door, he should have heard his own footsteps.
Then immediately adjust, relax your body, and pretend that you have fallen asleep.
Russell's acting skills can deceive the world - he can really melt himself and adjust himself to any posture he needs.
Delphinium could not tell Russell's acting skills no matter what. No matter how she looked at it, Russell was already asleep...and she was far from having the same level of wisdom and insight as Russell's acting skills.
She is just a human being.
Delphinium adjusted her emotions—she said she was adjusting her emotions, but she was not actually that angry.
I just felt helpless and funny, "Let me tell you, brother... I'm not your mother, you don't need to pretend to be so good in front of me.
"Didn't I say it before? If you stay up all night again, just send me a message. I won't call you and let you sleep well."
"...You said you won't call me, but you will still call me when I wake up."
Russell's voice buried under the quilt was a bit resentful, "That's actually about the same."
At once
Just as the teacher had said "no homework", he had already celebrated with "Oh——", but the teacher quickly gave him a bunch of "holiday homework" that were actually similar in nature to homework.
"Isn't this for your health? Well, since you only slept for such a short time, it's my fault to disturb you."
Delphinium sighed, "But since it's already reached this point, you might as well get up first.
"It's really difficult for you to be motionless for eight hours. But if you don't drink water for such a long time, your body will have problems... You'd better get up and eat some food first, and then drink some water."
Delphinium sighed softly, reached over and pinched Russell's ears. The smell of her orchid-scented mouthwash hit her face, "You sleep at random times every day... I remember you didn't sleep for seventy-two hours."
You slept, and then slept like crazy all day, right? This made me terrified. I was really worried that something would happen to your body."
"Yeah. I know, this is your love."
The corners of Russell's eyes were slightly curved, and he murmured softly: "Because it is real love, it is so heavy that I will be cautious. That 'fear' is not based on fear, it is also a kind of love."
"You are very tolerant to me, you can even say you are indulgent. But I dare not squander this tolerance.
