It was 6 o’clock in the morning.After Christina woke up, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror for a long time, being absent-minded.
She tied up her long curly hair, turned her body sideways, and stretched her neck so that she could see some clear marks on her skin in the mirror.
She gently stroked them and felt nothing.These marks were like hickeys.Her frown even deepened.
Suddenly, a sense of vigilance rose in her heart.
She immediately turned around and ran out of the small living room.She carefully observed the rooms in the small apartment.She locked the doors and windows last night so she was the only one in the apartment.She didn’t feel unwell but she was a little dizzy.She turned to look at a bottle of antidepressants on the coffee table.
Any such psychoactive medicine would have side effects, such as hallucinations, temporary memory loss, brain dullness, and even an effect on the rhythm of the heart caused by overdoses.
Christina was not sure how the “marks” on her neck and earlobe were caused.
Maybe it was because of the medicine, or maybe she had pressed something on her neck before she went to bed and didn’t remember it.
The doors and windows were closed for the whole night, and the heating was on all the time in winter.
Especially in this small apartment, it seemed a little stuffy when the air was not circulated.
Standing in the middle of the living room, she was a little dazed and looked around the terribly quiet space again.
Even her breathing became difficult, and the oppressive feeling in her heart was very irritating.
It was easy to daydream and desire to get rid of the predicament in the closed space.
She turned the door and rushed out.
The temperature difference between inside and outside made her shiver all over.The cold winter also made her feel much soberer as well as security in an instant.
But soon, Christina found that she had stepped on something.She looked down and was surprised for two minutes.
It was a bright red rose.She ran out barefoot.
Her skin had always been very fair.
When she stepped on the red flowers, the red color was rather obvious.
She bent down to pick it up with mixed feelings.
The thorns on the rose were carefully removed.
“Who put it here?”
Who would put a rose in front of her apartment? Ascene flashed through her mind at once.
Last night at the East Mall, a little girl was selling flowers to her.Such flowers were the same as this rose.
Christina had a gloomy expression.
She held the rose tightly until a petal fell gently.She took a deep breath, turned around, and entered the room.
After changing her clothes, she went out again.
At 9am, Christina received Crystal’s call.
Crystal asked her on the phone if she wanted C City’s specialties.
“I’m in C City now.Why did you go to the hospital at Christmas? Are you sick?”
She heard the medicine-taking broadcast on the hospital radio.
“I wandered around the square for a while last night, then I caught a cold and had a fever”
“Is the fever serious?”
“Don’t worry.It is not serious.”
Christina’s tone was so calm that Crystal stopped getting worried.
“I’m in line to pay the bill.It’s almost my turn.I’ll talk to you when I’m free”
So the call ended.
Crystal thought for a moment.
Christina’s tone was normal.Thinking of her stubborn character, would Christina go to the hospital with a common cold?
“What happened?”
Crystal was startled when a figure suddenly approached her.She looked up at the man in front of her and was dumbfounded for half a second.
“Why, why are you in my room?”
Chandler looked at her frightened expression and shrugged indifferently.
“Exactly.Do you think I slept on the road last night?”
“You slept with me last night?!”
Crystal was even more frightened.She raised his voice and her tone became a little shrill.
“Chandler, you pervert, you came to my room for no reason..”
