On the way home, Wendy forgot to withdraw her hand and always held Charlie's arm.
When they returned home, her grandma, who had woken up, was waiting for them with a smile. She blushed and pulled out her hand.
After they sat down and started to eat, some neighbors came to their house, saying that they wanted to borrow something. In fact, their eyes fixed on Charlie since they entered the room. They asked him, "Sir, are you Wendy's boyfriend?"
Wendy looked at him nervously and touched his leg with her feet under the table.
"Yes." Charlie nodded.
When the neighbors left, some of them didn't give up investigating and looked back several times.
In the whole afternoon after that, people kept coming to their house, with the excuse of borrowing or returning things. They looked around the house. Wendy felt that the threshold outside the yard was about to break because so many people stepped on it.
Grandma was very happy, because everyone was holding her hand with an envious look.
Wendy closed to Charlie and thanked him in a low voice. Then he bent over and said something in her ear. She nodded with a red face.
In the evening, the door of the old lady's room was quietly opened.
Then a figure came out quickly and slipped into the opposite room.
After closing the door, Wendy put her slippers beside the bed, lifted the quilt and crawled into it.
As soon as she touched the pillow, Charlie stretched out his arm to hold her and asked with impatience, "I've been waiting for quite a long time."
"Grandma just fell asleep..."
Wendy explained in a plain tone. She was almost naked in the blink of an eye.
Charlie raised the quilt with his back and held himself above her on his hands, "Don't waste time!"
Wendy closed her eyes obediently. In the darkness, she became more sensitive. His burning breathing made her itchy, and she was addicted to it.
Just like last night, there were the creaking sounds of the bedframe all over the night.
When Charlie unpacked the second condom, they heard some noises from the living room. Both of them under the quilt were stiff and held their breath.
It was grandma who was walking, but soon, the footsteps gradually disappeared.
The next morning, just like the day before, they have noodles for breakfast, but the atmosphere was a little awkward.
No one said a word. Only the sound of chopsticks colliding with bowls remained.
Wendy was embarrassed and lowered her head all the time. She didn't even dare to look at grandma. Although the old lady had seen her collarbones full of hickeys in the hospital, Wendy still felt awkward in this situation...
Finishing eating, grandma put down the bowl in her hand.
"Wendy." She seemed to clear her throat before saying.
"Ah!" Wendy shivered.
Grandma paused for a while and continued unnaturally, "I'm old and need to sleep early. Can you sleep on the narrow bed with Charlie tonight?"
"Oh..." Wendy answered in a quiet low voice.
She looked at Charlie and noticed that his handsome face seemed to be a little red.
Life in the countryside was very slow, but the holidays came to an end at last.
Since Charlie would go back with them, they didn't have to travel by bus or train. In the end, they decided to return to Ice city in the afternoon.
In the morning, Wendy packed up their luggage in advance, suddenly, someone's phone rang. She touched her pocket and found it was not hers. The screen of the phone on the table lit up.
She went over and took a look. It was Charlie's.
There was only one word on the screen. Wendy didn't dare to touch it.
"Nothing, I have a fever. It's not a big deal..."
Before Felix could finish his words, his phone was taken away. Then it was Ewan's voice, "Wendy, don't believe Felix. He is not good. He's going to have a pneumonia! I just sent out the doctor!"
"Really? So serious?" Wendy frowned with worries.
"Yes! I have some family issues today, so I'm worried about leaving Felix alone at home! If it's convenient for you, can you come over to take care of him?" Ewan asked.
Wendy hesitated for a moment and replied, "Okay, send me the address."
After hanging up, a message came in.
Wendy said goodbye to grandma and left by taxi in a hurry. She arrived at an apartment building and then signed in at the guardhouse. When she came out of the elevator, Ewan had been waiting for her at the door.
After changing to slippers, Wendy followed him and asked, "How is Felix?"
"He fell asleep again after talking to you! The doctor gave him an antipyretic injection, saying that he will be fine if the fever is gone at midnight." Ewan pushed the bedroom door open.
Wendy looked over and found Felix was sleeping on the bed, and his face was red because of fever.
Ewan pointed to the medicine bottle next to him and reminded her, "Remember to give Felix medicine when he wakes up. One white and two yellow pills."
"I got it!" Wendy nodded.
"Then, I have to go!"
"All right."
After sending Ewan out, Wendy went back to the bedroom.
Felix was lying on the bed, and his temples were a little wet because of high temperature. His face looked weak but serious as well. Only she knew how much warmth his smile could bring to her.
Wendy walked to him and bent over to tuck him in the quilts. Her hands had been caught when she was about to retract them.
