Chapter 122： , Between life and death

Maria took out one of the two bottles at random. Just as he was about to open it, the idiot next to him suddenly said--

"Is this bottle of medicine newly prepared today?"

Maria froze for a moment, looked at the bottle in her hand, then at the idiot, and said, "This gentleman, what do you want to say?"

The idiot's voice was still dull, and he slowly said, "If you guessed it correctly... I saw with my own eyes today that you sent a sixteen-year-old maid to dispense medicine. I watched her make it. The medicine bottle at that time... Blue. Not the green it is now."

Maria looked at the bottle in her hand, smiled, and said, "This...isn't it? My sister might think the bottle is not good-looking, so I changed it. It's a coincidence that she actually changed it. The same color bottle. I was a little surprised when I got it just now."

The idiot nodded and said nothing. After all, it doesn't make much difference what color the medicine bottle is. Since the little maid brought it all, it probably doesn't matter...

Thinking of this, the idiot stopped saying much. Maria opened the lid and poured the medicine bottle. Pour out two pills from it. But at this moment, the idiot suddenly saw the expiration date on the bottom of the medicine bottle, and the date of preparation on it... is today?

"Miss Maria, isn't this bottle of medicine matched today? Shouldn't it start with the previous medicine?"

Maria raised her head and glanced at the idiot. She suddenly felt that this man was very rude. It doesn't matter if you run to the lady's boudoir for no reason, you still yell at yourself like a male host?

Anan seemed to see Maria's slight dissatisfaction, and said quickly: "It's okay, Xiaobai, the shelf life of this medicine is very long, there is actually no difference between taking it first and then taking it."

Maria was initially dissatisfied with the idiot, but in fact, she did know that she had taken the wrong new medicine. Although she wasn't convinced, no one could even think of taking care of Anan, so she finally put the two pills back into the medicine bottle and said, "No, Miss An. It is indeed the order to take the medicine. I made a mistake. Please wait a moment, I will get your medicine right now."

After putting back the green bottle in her hand, Maria finally reached out to another medicine bottle. The idiot looked at this movement of Maria, and for some reason, suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart. The maid who devoted himself to taking care of An poured out the pills, but at this moment, there was a sudden dripping sound from the front of her apron.

"Ah, the water should boil."

Maria put down the two pills, took a pocket watch from the pocket of her apron, and pressed the timer. Afterwards, she bowed to An, turned around, and was about to walk towards the door. But when she walked to the door and looked back and saw that the idiot was still sitting by the bed, she could not help but cough deliberately.

"Sir, besides fetching water, I also want to bring some pastries. But since there are so many things, can I ask you a favor?"

The idiot turned his head and stared at the maid. Logically speaking, it is the maid’s job to take cakes, and she should never pull the guests out. However, Anan could see it, she smiled and whispered to the idiot——

"Sorry, Xiaobai. Maria probably thought that if she leaves, there will be only you, me, and Lilo in the room. Since Lilo is a child and may not be very sensible, so Avoid our two single men and women in the same room, just want to push you away from me. I hope you can understand."

Idiot forgiveness, since Anan said so, of course he stood up and walked to the door. Maria saw that the idiot left obediently, she smiled and took him to the kitchen to get water and pastries.

The room became quiet. No one was speaking, and he could not help but close his eyes and rest for a while. Seeing An, Liluo closed her eyes and ate something by herself, feeling bored. She looked left and right, and her interest suddenly shifted to the two pills on the bedside table.

Lilo, who was only eleven years old, was very curious about these two pills. She glanced at Die, and then looked at the half-open door. After seeing that no one was paying attention, she picked up the two pills and put them in her hands to look at.

The pill is round, put it in front of the nose and smell it... well, it smells so good~~~

In fact, in order to reduce the psychological pressure of the users when taking these heart disease drugs, some herbs are added to them. The smell of these good smells in Liluo's nose made her happy and excited.

It smells so good, don’t know what it tastes like?

Lilo held the pill, put it in front of her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and licked it gently...

Hmm...no taste?

Licking again... Still tasteless? Is it just smelling, not tasty at all? A touch of feeling.

Lilo frowned and began to let go of her guts completely, licking the two pills with her tongue.

"Li Luo? What are you doing?"

Suddenly Dim on the bed opened his eyes and asked Liluo's movements. But Liluo was shocked, and the two pills in her hand fell to the ground immediately, clinging to dust. Liluo panicked, turned around and forced a smile: "It's all right, sister, you can sleep for a while, it's all right"

"Oh...hehe." He smiled and said, "That's my medicine. Children who are not sick can't take it randomly, you know?"

Lilo stuck out her tongue and smiled. After that, Anan closed his eyes again and kept his mind. Lilo picked up the two dusty pills from the ground and frowned.

Pedal-pedal-pedal-

At this moment, the sound of footsteps from outside the hidden door can’t be wrong, it’s the sound of Maria and the idiot coming back

Lilo was surprised, looking at the two pills in her hand at a loss, but soon she thought of the cabinet Maria opened just now. She rushed to the cabinet, pulled it apart, before taking a closer look, took out one of the two bottles of medicine, quickly poured out the pills, and placed them on the bedside table. After that, she stuffed the dusty pills in her hands into her pockets, pretending to be nonchalant, and continued to eat the snacks she had brought, composing herself.

The door opened.

The idiot and Maria walked in with tea and pastries. The two of them put things on the table, the idiot continued to sit on the chair, while Maria was holding tea, reaching for the medicine on the bedside table, and walking towards the dark.

"Miss, it's time to take medicine."

She smirked and was lifted up by Maria. She took the medicine in Maria's hand and was about to put it in her mouth...

"Cough...cough...cough..."

A coughing stopped her movements. Maria hurriedly stepped forward and patted her dark back, letting her take a breath. After a while, the dark coughing stopped, and she leaned weakly on the pillow, her face pale.

"Miss, take medicine."

Maria picked up the medicine held in Duan's hand and was about to stuff Duan's mouth. And sad... now I open my mouth, waiting for the pill to enter my mouth...

"Hold on."

When the pill almost touched the gloomy lips, the idiot, this uninvited and unscrupulous man in Maria's eyes, once again stopped her in the tone of a hostess. Actions.

"Sir, what else do you have to order."

Maria is a little annoyed, but because he is a guest of Eun, it is not easy to blast people directly. But the tone was already a little less polite.

The idiot ignored him. He just looked at Duan's pale face and said, "You, should let her drink first. Otherwise, the medicine will be hard to swallow."

Maria shrugged and snorted. However, she couldn't deny that the idiot was wrong, so she put down the pills, picked up the tea cup filled with boiling water from the side, and handed it to Duan's mouth. Anan seemed to want to drink water too, so he lowered his head and sucked in the water in the teacup...

"Woo...so hot..."

But, with only a slight touch, He couldn't help but withdraw his head. Seeing this, Maria quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped her gloomy lips.

"I'm sorry, sorry miss, I was careless, I haven't tried the temperature first"

Under Maria’s apology, An Yan shook his head and smiled: "Maria, I know... my guest makes you a little absent-minded. But I still hope you can believe that he is really not a bad person. ... Give him more trust... OK...?"

Maria turned her head and glanced at the cold-looking idiot over there, she finally sighed helplessly, and took back the handkerchief: "Cough...Miss... Since you said that, then I, as your maid, also There is nothing to say. Mr. Idiot, I am sorry for my impolite behavior just now. Let you see me making a fool of myself."

She stood up and bowed at the idiot. The idiot didn't nod or shook his head, but just looked at her. After a while, his eyes turned to An's body.

"Miss, since it's too hot, let's wait for the tea to cool down for a while before taking the medicine."

Dark nodded.

So Maria put the pills and tea aside. Serving and lying down. The idiot looked at the steaming tea and pills, pondering.

In the following time, the idiot will be a guest here. The refreshments that Maria brought became Lilo's favorite food. This energetic little girl chewed on the cake while narrating in detail what Xiao Bian did. When she was so excited, she couldn't help but laughed hahaha. And Maria was stunned, surprised that a little girl of the same age as Lilo would have so many scheming. Repeatedly sighed, "Who is that girl educated? It sounds terrible... when she grows up, she is probably the type who cannibalize people without spitting out bones..."

Anan and Liluo saw Maria express this sigh, and they also had a tacit understanding of not breaking the relationship between idiots and bread, allowing Maria to comment on the daily behavior of bread freely. After Lilo took out the sketched photos taken with the bread during the day and showed Maria, Maria was even more surprised.

Because, looking at the photos, the maid would never imagine that this weak, quiet, beautiful and docile little girl in the photos could have such "virulent" blood in her bones? She looks like a quiet and virtuous princess in the photo. It was like a little girl who was led away by Lilo at will. It was not like a female liar who would blackmail more than 10,000 Sura girls from the Goodsay family.

"Li Luo."

Looking at the tender bread in the photo, the idiot suddenly asked——

"Before taking the photo, did you say that you want to show the photo to others?"

Liluo was taken aback for a moment and said, "Of course. I said I would bring it back to my family."

"……………………Oh."

That's why that girl is so "photogenic"...

Talking, drinking, and eating.

Unconsciously, it was late.

In a few short chats, Maria seemed to have finally reduced her hostility towards idiots. Moreover, she can more or less see the relationship between the dim and the idiot. Whenever an idiot speaks, An will look at him intently.

The happiness of the young lady is the happiness of the maid. The happiness of the young lady is the happiness of the maid.

Since childhood, Maria has taken care of An for more than ten years. The two are not so much masters and servants as sisters. Maria looked at this beloved sister. Tonight, the smile on her face was more than the sum of the previous week. Although she didn't know the details of the idiot very much, as long as this man could make An's few remaining lives bloom more smiles, that seemed to be enough.

When—when—when—

The bell on the wall rang. Looking up, it turned out that it was eleven o'clock.

Lilo jumped up abruptly when she heard the bell. She wiped her mouth, put the peanuts in her hand on the bedside table, and hurriedly started putting on her coat. She had already passed the time to go home. Although her parents knew that she was mostly at Sister An if she didn't go home so late, it was too late now.

"I... I want to go home. Sister An. Goodbye. Sister Maria. Goodbye. And, Loaf, how are you going out? Do you want me to call a carriage to send you?

The idiot nodded, if that's the case, it would be best to prevent him from sneaking all the way.

Maria saw that the water was cold, and she wanted to lie down first. But Liluo was already yelling over there. As a maid, she still had to take care of the little lady who was rushing home.

"Mr. Idiot, I'll give it to the little lady. Please let my lady take the medicine if it is convenient for you, thank you."

After that, Maria ran out with Lilo and called the carriage.

In the room, only idiots and gloom were left.

The comfortable light shone from the guiding lamp, making his dark face paler.

The lively room began to quiet down, and the gloomy expression slowly became calmer. She lay on the bed and let out a long breath. The idiot picked up the two pills on the bedside table, picked up the cold water, and sat on the side of the bed, looking at her.

"…………………………"

The idiot handed the water glass to An, opened his eyes, looked at the water glass, and took a sip. However, when the idiot handed the medicine to her mouth, she did not open her mouth, but looked at the two pills quietly.

"From beginning to end... you didn't tell me why did you come to me today..."

A faint voice came from this sickly body. Very light and very soft. There is no longer the boldness of the past, and the joy of worry-free.

After the idiot was silent for a while, he retracted his hand holding the pill and continued to sit next to her.

"Now... you are leaving soon. Even before you leave... you refused to tell me why did you come to see me suddenly?"

In the jet black pupils, the sick body on the bed was reflected.

Her chest was bent together, but the heart in this chest cavity was already so fragile.

"Did you know? I once heard people in my family...saying that I am a glass heart. As long as I touch it casually, my heart...will break."

Having said that, I closed my eyes and the smile on his face slowly evacuated...

"But, when I wrote to tell Xingli about this, guess...how did she reply to me?"

"...... what did she say."

"She said...Although my heart is a glass heart, because it is glass, it will be transparent and clean, reflecting the most beautiful colorful light in the sun... She also said that in her opinion, I am not glass. Heart, but... the crystal heart..."

After the idiot was silent for a while, he slowly said: "Xing Li, sometimes, she can always detect something faster than me."

"However, sometimes you will perceive many things faster than her... don't you?"

He smiled sadly. This smile made her face blush.

"Xiaobai...you came to me...because...my life span is not long anymore...is it?"

The idiot lowered his head and closed his eyes. What Krause said lingered in his mind.

Eh... it's likely to die tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. In other words, her illness... has already faced a very cruel situation... right?

"Take medicine. Take medicine and you will get better."

The idiot stretched out his hand again and spread it out, revealing the pill inside.

But looking at these two pills, he turned his head with tears in his eyes.

"I don't want to eat... my heart... it won't last much time... in my opinion... these medicines are not used to cure my body... but... more like poison..."

"They are forcing me to hold this body day after day... hold this heart... and then feel the pain the heart brings me... I... don't want to eat..."

The idiot stood up suddenly, he held the pill and said, "You won't die, sad. I... won't let you die."

Looking back sadly, he glanced at the idiot, and said, "How can you make me immortal? You are not a doctor. Even Principal Campa can only say some comforting words to me now... what else can you do?"

"………………………………”

"You can't feel this kind of fear... this feeling that seems to die tomorrow... My heart is like a time bomb... No one can relieve it, no one"

"………………………………”

"Xiao Bai... I'm sorry... but I really have enough. You go back... the medicine, I will take it... even if it is poison... I... will take it..."

The gloomy expression dimmed completely, she closed her eyes and breathed out slowly. The tears from the corners of the eyes slowly overflowed because of unwillingness and also because of the endless regrets. The tears that fell...

"You... will live."

The idiot's voice sounded again. An couldn't help but feel funny, opened his eyes again, intending to continue to say something. But at the moment she opened her eyes, she witnessed such a scene--

Idiot, raised his head and took a sip of water. Afterwards, he put the two pills directly into his mouth and swallowed without hesitation.

"What...what are you doing?" Anyan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly panicked, "How can you take medicine indiscriminately? That's medicine for patients with heart disease. You...how can you take it casually? What if you have any side effects? How to do?"

The idiot looked dim and faced her panic. He let him say so, his face as usual. When she was out of breath and couldn't speak anymore, he bent down again, took out the two medicine bottles from the drawer, and looked at the preparation date underneath. Later, he poured out two more pills from the bottle with an earlier date and came to An's side.

"I just want to tell you that as long as you take medicine with peace of mind, and take care of it with peace of mind, you can definitely heal."

"You will not die, and these medicines are not poisons. If they are, I will be poisoned to death with you. So, absolutely don’t have any thoughts of giving up. You have given up 99,998 times, At least promise me this time, never give up. Absolutely... live."

Looking blankly at the idiot in front of her, she suddenly grinned, and the tears in the corner of her eyes seemed to fade away.

"You...really an idiot. Of course those are medicines, how could they be poisons? You idiot...little idiot..." After a while, he exhaled and said in a confident voice. "However, I promise you. Although I don't understand what you are talking about, I will definitely live my life and show it to you. Not only will I live, but I will live to be eighty, ninety, one hundred years old. . Then, on the warm bed, surrounded by children and grandchildren, slowly close your eyes. Believe it or not?"

"………………………………letter."

He smiled.

The idiot raised her body, drank her saliva, and fed her the medicine in his hand. After confirming that she had swallowed the pill in her mouth, the idiot left the bed. He picked up the two bottles of medicine and looked at the similar bottles. After thinking about it, he took out the empty red pill bottle from the upper drawer, poured all the pills in the bottle with today’s date, and then tore off the preparation date paper and pasted it on On the red bottle. In this way, there should be no mistake.

After taking the medicine, Duan slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Maria returned after sending Lilo away, and after seeing An taking the medicine, she also led the idiot away. After thanking him, he called the carriage and gave the idiot a pass that could only go out but not in, let him get in the carriage and leave.

The moonlight is the waning moon.

The idiot listened to the gurgling wheels in his ears, opened the curtains of the carriage, and looked at the sky outside.

The first day of July 21... is almost over.

I just don't know, how many choices did I make today? How many of them... are correct.

How many... is wrong? V
