A man in white shirt knelt in front of the celestial position, with one hand on a plank full of sharp steel needles beside his thigh. There was a large pool of dark colored liquid on the floor, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. He held a few incense sticks with his other hand, and they were so black that their backs were straight.
At the sound behind him, he turned around. His dark brown eyes stared at him with a creepy smile. A gust of wind blew in through the door, making the hair covering the man's face blow.
The name he was, as if frozen in the throat, horrified. Polly looked at the man in front of her, her heart beating so fast that she could hardly say anything.
They just stared at each other without saying anything. The atmosphere of tension filled the air. It took a long time before he spoke again. "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Can't you see who I am?" The man's voice sounded casual, "Miss Han, you have a poor memory. You can't recognize me so quickly."
Polly took a few breaths and asked incredulously, "are you really Simon Shen?"
"Are you not nearsighted? Well, I'll come up to you and let you see it clearly! "
The man stood up as he spoke. Seeing his hand pressed on the steel needle just now, Polly burst into blood, and his face turned pale due to excessive loss of blood, which was no different from a ghost that just came out from the underworld.
"Stay there!" "I know you are Simon. You don't need to come here." said Polly, waving her hands at him in a hurry She stepped back as she spoke.
"Am I so terrible?" asked Simon gloomily But he did stand still.
"Simon, you'd better bandage the wound first." Polly could not see his bleeding face. The blood drop on the ground became more and more dense.
"This one?" Simon raised his hand and glanced at her indifferently, "it's not a big deal!"
Although he said that he didn't take much effort, he lost his balance and was about to fall down. Polly was a little scared. She didn't want to face Simon alone, so she quickly took out her phone and called Avril.
I've called you for several times, but you still get no reply. All of the messages are from the other end of the line. It was late at night. Who had Avril called for such a long time?
She was so anxious that the pendant on her phone also dangled to her. Suddenly, her eyes fell on the crystal illusion square that rubbed against the back of her hand.
She bought her cell phone pendant in the same jewelry store with Avril. She was a crystal illusion ball and the square was Avril's. She remembered that this cell phone was actually Avril's. no wonder she couldn't get through so many times.
She changed to call Avril because Avril's phone was in her hand. Then she guessed that Avril might have her phone.
The phone rang for about five or six seconds and someone answered it.
"Hey, are you Polly? I have your phone! " Before she could say anything, Avril said in advance, "Polly? Where are you now? Did he do anything to you? "
"Avril, I'll tell you one more time. Where are you now? Is it convenient for you to come here? I am in worship outside the room at the first floor of the Chu clan. Here is Simon. He looks terrible. It seems that he is going to faint. "
Hardly had her words faded away, Polly heard a "bang" sound of something heavy falling to the ground nearby. She was shocked and glanced out of the corner of her eyes that Simon fell to the ground.
"Avril, come here as soon as possible. Now, Simon really passed out!"
Five minutes later, Avril arrived. She had just gotten out of bed, wearing a pair of pajamas and a pair of slippers. Her hair was in a mess and she was tied with a rubber band.
Polly was squatting in front of Simon. She reached out her hand to feel his breath while pushing him anxiously. "Wake up, Simon! Wake up!"
"Dear Polly, how is he?" Unlike Polly, Avril was very calm. "Don't be afraid. He won't die."
"Avril, aren't you afraid?" With the presence of another person to be brave, Polly wasn't as scared as before, but she hadn't recovered from that fear completely. She had never experienced a man who fell to the ground in front of her.
She squatted down to check the wound on his hand and said lightly, "I was afraid of him before. Now thinking about it, it's ridiculous."
"You mean, he did this before?" she asked in disbelief What kind of person was this? Not caring about her own health.
"Yes." "Okay," said Avril. Then she told Polly, "turn out the flashlight and let me disinfect and wrap his wound."
She looked at the man who was as pale as the wall with a disgusted face. Then she pulled his hand away and put the hand of the nurse aside into it. She said, "take good care of Mr. Shen."
The nurse was surprised at first, but soon she calmed down and peeked at Simon's handsome face with shyness.
As soon as they walked out of the room, Polly asked in confusion, "how can you be sure that little nurse is willing to do that?"
"It has been a long time since that nurse coveted Simon. Sometimes, she even wishfully winked at him in front of me. I just did it to make them happy. "
"If Simon had an affair with that nurse, would he punish himself just like what he did tonight?" This man was just the kind of person who was abused. He knew very well that if he wanted to act wildly, he had to apologize. But he still had to act wildly.
Avril snorted, "that's none of my business!"
She turned around and walked away decisively. But she didn't know that when she walked out of the room and the door was closed, John gripped the nurse's wrist and shouted, "Avril, don't go..."
The nurse blushed and coaxed him for a long time in the name of Avril before falling asleep.
Polly went to Avril's room, and they changed back their phones. She took out a can of milk from the fridge and stuffed it into Polly's hand. "I sweated in the middle of the night. You are almost thirsty to death."
Polly tore off the straw and put it into the milk box. She asked, "Avril, what happened between you and Simon? Are you willing to tell me? "
Avril sat down beside her and said, "it's all in the past! In fact, I have nothing to do with him. I sell wine and he always chose the most expensive one. That's how we got to know each other. At that time, I was young and I had never been in love. I thought I could move someone by being sincere enough. But later, I found that I was wrong. I have always been dreaming of his tenderness, but unfortunately the most wonderful love will always be imprinted in his heart. We, the women with him, are all daydreaming, just like contemptible scoundrels. "
She took a big gulp of milk.
Deep inside, Polly felt a surge of sadness. She grabbed Avril's hand and consoled her, "don't think about those unhappy things anymore. When we leave here, we can live the simple but happy life as before again. Avril, I promise you, I will be with you no matter what happens. "
"Yes. Dear Polly, I promise you, I will be with you no matter what happens. "
