Chapter 37 The Bloody Beauty in the Bathtub【14】
There was silence at the door.
The sound of drops of water dripping on the floor became the loudest sound in the house.
Is the sound insulation here so good?
Connie looked at the door and the wall, and she was thinking wildly on purpose, but this was her instinct, so she kept letting herself be in such wild thoughts.
And the truth is, embarrassing.
Long, deep embarrassment.
... Damn, who is not embarrassed to be invited into the bedroom by a young man in his early twenties in a bathrobe with his chest exposed! ?
"Come in." Sherlock who opened the door only said this, then turned and entered the door.
I'm still a naive wife... Connie froze her neck and didn't dare to look around while complaining to herself.
The room is still underfloor heating, and the blanket behind it is softer than in the living room.
The feet of □□ appeared in front of her eyes: "What's the matter?"
"..." Haha, suddenly I don't want to say anything, what should I do if I just want to escape!
"Forehead……"
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." He turned around, and the water droplets on his wet hair had already stained his entire shoulders and were absorbed by the soft white bathrobe. However, the heater was turned on in the room, and Connie even felt There are two lumps of plateau red on the small face.
Connie looked up, seeing the determination and seriousness in his eyes, she paused and opened her mouth.
"Sherlock, are you...are you in a bad mood today?" Abnormality is a demon.
It was strange enough that he stayed at home every day during this period, and today he turned off the air-conditioner from time to time, and he ate her cake just now... Obviously, he is more clean freak than anyone else.
Rather than worrying about whether she is meddling in her own business, she is more worried about the dangerous factors behind this abnormality. You know, the weaker the animal, the stronger the instinct and premonition to predict danger. She was acting as a spectator... As a result, today's development made her suddenly realize that the great god put down his air... It seemed to have something to do with her?
As for whether it started before, or if she did something outrageous today... She couldn't imagine how she should bear the fact that she had offended the God so early but still ignored her self for so many days. ——#Absolutely is the unbearable weight of life#
Besides, her nerves should not be so rough, right?
"Oh, you noticed." He didn't refute, just smiled, and showed a sweet smile without smiling, and his face became paralyzed in seconds.
Her whole body froze, and the slight shyness in her heart suddenly turned into panic.
"...Why?" The teacher taught us that if we don't understand, we should not be ashamed to ask.
"You don't know?" He stared at Connie suddenly, holding the towel in his hand, letting the water erode.
The panic in my heart suddenly seemed to be pressed on the empty button.
"Well, I don't know." She asked sincerely, looking at him without any evasion.
As if waking up from a dream.Or just fell asleep?
He was silent for a long time, the towel fell on the floor, and he was speechless for a while.
"The dessert is good, give me another one if you can." He said suddenly.
Hey?
Connie was stunned for a moment... So the master has taken a fancy to her craftsmanship?
Don't you like sweet things?
"What?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, I'll get it right away." She quickly ran downstairs, took a box out of the refrigerator, and sent it to the room.
At that time, he was already sitting quietly in front of the computer, reading a book.
"dessert……"
"Just put it here." He nodded and said, without looking at Connie, everything was as usual.
Connie hummed, put the box next to the computer desk, and watched Sherlock exit the room with a calm profile.
Is it okay to ask about this matter?
She stood outside the closed door for a long time, distracted and in a daze, alternately annoyed and depressed, and the changing expressions on her face suddenly poured into the monitor in the corner.
After a while, as if she remembered something, she thumped her head and turned to go downstairs.
Sherlock in the room kept looking at the box of cakes, and the waves in his eyes could almost set off a tsunami, but the monitor installed in his room did not capture this scene, but stayed quietly in the trash can.
After a while, everything returned to calm.
Outside and inside the door, upstairs and downstairs, all fell into a long period of peace, only the laughter of a few people in the outer room.
The second day, Christmas.
Connie greeted Alex with a smile.
"Thank you! You woke up so early!" Alex who woke up on the bed pleasantly took the cocoa handed over by Connie and drank it contentedly.
"Fortunately, I went to bed early yesterday..." Connie said nonsense with her eyes open - she almost didn't sleep all night yesterday, but woke up after half an hour of sleep at five or six o'clock.
Fortunately, she has a good foundation, no dark circles under her eyes, but she is a little tired mentally, otherwise she would not dare to leave the room today.
Taking another sip of hot cocoa, she sighed softly and brought the breakfast she had prepared earlier to the table.
Everyone had a good night, but when Sherlock came downstairs, Connie was a little embarrassed... although he didn't know why he was embarrassed?
The box in Sherlock's hand was placed on the table, and Connie thought he had eaten it, so she opened the lid.Only a spoonful was scooped out of it.
He only took one bite?
Connie looked at him in surprise.
"It's too sweet." He saw her thoughts at a glance and explained.
(ˉ﹃ˉ) Then why did she send it up last night.
"It's just that I can't understand your obsession with this kind of food. In my opinion, it's just a combination of saccharin and carbohydrates." He said impersonally.
Connie froze for a moment, staring at him for the longest time.
"What?" He straightened his collar, took off his scarf and began to eat bacon.
"It's nothing..." I couldn't tell whether it was a sigh of relief or another vent was blocked. After a long time, Connie looked away.
Everything seems to be back to normal.
...No, was there ever an unusual time?
"Yeah. Coffee." She smiled, and turned back into that bright and cheerful child again, her sensitive little emotions were put into the treasure box in her heart. She took out her daily state and brought the freshly brewed coffee to her. Sherlock turned and went back to the kitchen.
"Huh..." She frowned, always feeling that something was different, she wanted to treat everyone and everything with her usual relaxed and optimistic world view, but the heaviness in her heart was like a stone in a shoe, always hurting her .
clap clap.
She patted her face lightly, opened the window and took a gulp of cold air.
Take a breath of cold wind to be calm and calm. There is no big Beijing smog to breathe, but you can still take a few breaths with the London winter wind...
It wasn't until the cold wind stiffened Connie's face that she felt a little clearer in her heart, and she closed the door contentedly despite the cold feeling that her whole body was trembling.
Everyone is already having breakfast.
"Oh, good craftsmanship, although I don't like British breakfast very much..." Richard said that he didn't like British breakfast very politely, and at this moment he said that he didn't like British breakfast while stuffing meat into his mouth. The waist was twisted several times by Beckett.
"Aw~" The ecstasy voice came from this man in his early forties, which made goosebumps appear on everyone's skin.
"Dad!" Alex called his father helplessly, feeling a headache for his informal appearance, but he didn't apologize to Connie like he did last night.
Connie looked at the happy family of three, then at Henry and Hudson who were feeding each other, and finally turned her head to look at Sherlock who was eating quietly and occasionally answering Richard's questions. Warmth slowly emerged in her heart. Come.
"I'm so happy, let's unwrap the presents after breakfast!" Connie called out excitedly, and joy welled up in her eyes.
"Yes!" Alex's eyes brightened instantly.
"(⊙o⊙) Oh! Gift!!!"
Connie said: The reaction is exaggerated...
After 10 minutes, everyone gathered around the Christmas tree.
Connie and Alex sat on the floor heating, looked at each other and smiled, and took the gift for each other first.
"Wow, what a cute hat!" Connie swore, when Alex opened the box, Richard's eyes could definitely be called walking light bulbs.
Connie put the hat on for Alex, and tidied up her head carefully, and the pink and tender little princess appeared immediately.
Connie: (ˉ﹃ˉ) drooling
Richard: (ˉ﹃ˉ) drool
Beckett: ...
One big, one small, two idiot faces are really enough.
"Thank you, I like it very much!" Alex was obviously very fond of this hat, and took a picture of it with his mobile phone.
Connie took out her own one in the same manner and put it on her head.
"Wow, sister?" Alex shook his phone, and Connie nodded crazily while holding her phone knowingly.
So, the two started to take crazy selfies with the gift Christmas tree and each other...
Richard bit his hand and looked sad: I also want to take a selfie with Alex... (ˉ﹃ˉ) drool
Beckett patted him helplessly, this brat.
As a result, someone threw himself into his arms, pretended to be sad, but secretly rubbed his chest, and was dealt with by the police detective with a fist.
While the famous novelist clutched his cheek and wailed, the other adults had exchanged presents.
Unlike Connie who prepares for everyone, they all prepare only one gift, put it under the Christmas tree, and then choose at random.
However, this way, everyone has two gifts.
When Richard got the couple's scarf, he laughed like a flower. Although Beckett disliked his expression, he still liked Connie's scarf, and Connie made a lot of small moves in the details. Putting De's scarf together, you can immediately see that it is a couple's scarf, but as long as two people don't wear it together...
Later, in the past two days, the scarf often abused the single dogs of NYPD. Of course, this is another story...
All in all, the couple's gift was quite satisfying, especially after knowing that it was woven by her, their appreciation for Connie increased to a new level...
Of course, what made Connie happiest was Alex's adoring gaze.
