MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 27 fear and love

May 9th, six o'clock in the evening.

Russell was half asleep and half awake, feeling 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's the delphinium. She didn't get into the quilt, but lay on her side outside the cup, put her head on the same pillow as Russell, and looked at him with a smile.

When Russell sleeps, it doesn't take up much room.

Whether it was in his own home or in the delphinium's house; whether it was in the school dormitory, or sharing the bed with the delphinium...he would only occupy a small space and sleep curled up in a ball. As if it would be uneasy if it wasn't the case.

At first, delphiniums will feel uneasy and wronged. Because Russell shrank into a corner by himself, it looked so pitiful. It's as if I'm bullying him...

Because of this, Delphinium once suspected... Did he kick Russell a few times after falling asleep, or did he drive him away because he didn't sleep well and would press his body on him?

Delphinium specially installed a surveillance camera to take a look at what it looked like after she fell asleep. The answer is that she didn't move at all, and it was indeed Russell who slowly rubbed past.

He didn't have to stay away from delphiniums, though. It would have been okay if it was on her side...but then it became extremely intimate, like rubbing himself into the delphinium. In short, he must rely on the "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 of the directions in his sleep until he hits something , or when you are about to fall, you will stop.

But every time Delphinium dragged Russell back from the bed, he would slowly squirm back by himself. Over time, the delphinium got used to it—if he didn't hug Russell to sleep, he would slowly shrink to the place farthest from the delphinium by himself.

It's extra bed-saving.

The big bed that originally belonged to Alice was obviously a spacious double bed, but it looked like it could accommodate three people...

In order to save space, this double bed is the kind with one side against the wall. Russell is now at the corner between the bed and the wall, with his back against the wall and facing the room.

Delphinium lay in the middle of the bed, picked up a strand of her hair, and gently brushed Russell's eyelashes, eyebrows and nose tip like a small brush. Like it's not hair, it's makeup brushes, and she's applying makeup to Russell.

"Wake up."

Delphinium leaned close to Russell's ear and whispered.

"Woo..."

Russell shrank his neck and shrank most of his head into the quilt.

"I can't move..."

He said in a low voice under the quilt, "I was sealed by the quilt..."

"It's not winter now, can this quilt still eat cats?"

"Eat cats. Quilts eat cats..."

Russell responded in a daze.

Delphinium raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and took a taste of Russell's state: "Didn't you go to bed at ten o'clock in the morning? You haven't caught up on sleep for eight hours?"

"I watched the news..."

Russell was vague, 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 bed.

"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 the delphinium wasn't angry, he whispered, "I'll go to bed after three o'clock..."

"...Three o'clock?"

"Thirty past three. Forty three... forty-five, almost."

"...In other words, you just slept for over an hour, right?"

Delphinium was full of helplessness: "This is the first time..."

Obviously she came back several times in between,

Seeing Russell quietly huddled under the quilt with his eyes closed, he seemed to be sleeping soundly. So she didn't dare to get close to disturb Russell... After all, with Russell's sensitivity, if she just called his name softly, even if he was really asleep, he would wake up immediately.

Russell didn't sleep well because he was taking care of himself. Delphinium knew this very well, so he 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 too... She 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 the boss of Wolf Sound 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, so there was no need If he is so nervous, just leave it alone and go out to play by himself.

But delphinium is still worried...

It's not an overly idealistic or self-important reason like "I think he needs me".

It's because, when Russell was chatting with Delphinium before, she remembered that Alice died of illness. And after she died, Russell had no relatives on Chongguang Island... He immediately went to Happy Island.

When she realized that there was really only one bed in the "home" of Alice and Russell...she was sensitively aware that this bed had not been lived in for a long time, but was still kept neat and tidy by the boss of Langyin. the same bed that Alice died in.

Delphinium's psionic power is related to "love". She could clearly feel that Russell deeply loved his mother...and Alice who raised him alone. Alice's death did indeed have a great impact on Russell, and even changed Russell's personality in a certain sense.

So, when Russell returns to the old place and lies on this bed again, will he first miss his childhood, or will he first think of Alice's death?

The answer is self-evident.

How can the blurred memory buried deep in the brain compare to the despair of a year ago?

Delphinium is very worried, whether Russell will fall in love with the scene. Sobbing alone on this bed, recalling the loneliness, despair and helplessness of the past...

Others regard him as a senior, a leader, an idol, a hero, a savior...even a demon king who will destroy the world.

But Delphinium just regards him as her mate, her lover.

She sees Russell as a person. A fragile mortal who can be happy or lost, angry or sad.

She came back several times, not to monitor whether Russell slept or not. Instead, he was worried that he would not be able to sleep because of cranky thoughts, or that he would be lying here feeling emotional and losing control of his emotions.

If that was the case, she could be there for Russell just in time when he needed her comfort. Rather than leaving him "alone".

...As a result, she never expected that Russell didn't sleep at all.

With Russell's specialized hearing, and he was leaning against the concrete wall with poor sound insulation, he must have heard everything long ago. As he approached the door, he should have heard his footsteps, and immediately adjusted and relaxed his body, pretending to be asleep.

Russell's acting skills can deceive the world-he can really melt and adjust himself into any posture he needs.

No matter what, Delphinium couldn't see Russell's acting skills. Either way, Russell is asleep... and she's far from having the uncanny wit and insight of Russell's acting level.

She is just mortal.

Delphinium adjusted her emotions—said she adjusted her emotions, but she was not really angry.

I just felt helpless and funny, "Let me say, brother... I'm not your mother, you don't need to pretend to be so obedient 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, let you sleep well."

"...you said you wouldn't call me, but you'll still call me when I wake up."

Russell's voice buried in the quilt was somewhat resentful, "That's actually the same."

At once

As if the teacher had said "no homework", he had already celebrated the "oh-" over, but the teacher quickly gave a bunch of "holiday homework" that was actually similar in nature to homework.

"I'm not doing this for your health, okay... Well, since you only slept so short~www.novelbuddy.com~ It's my fault for disturbing 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 stay still for eight hours. But if you don't drink water for such a long time, your body will have problems...you should get up and eat something first, and then drink some water."

Delphinium sighed softly, reached out and pinched Russell's ear, her orchid-scented mouthwash came over her face, "You sleep at a random time every day...I remember you didn't sleep for seventy-two hours , and then fell asleep for a whole day, right? This made me terrified, I was really worried that something would happen to your body."

"Well. I know, it's your love."

The corners of Russell's eyes were slightly bent, and he murmured softly: "Because it is true 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 that you are conniving. But I dare not squander this tolerance.

"Because I love you too, Flotie."
