"I, I..."

Rhodes was surprised to find himself speechless.

"What's wrong? You gave me the key." Mira chuckled and walked towards the door, wanting to tease Rhode about his dazed look.

But she immediately realized the problem.

This is the scene at Rhodes's house, where he is dressed like this, and just blurted out those words...

Mira's face turned a little red. She had obviously walked up to him and looked up at him slightly, but she couldn't say the next words.

But her demeanor and movements, and the way she looked into Rhode's eyes, were a bit fatal to him.

Rhodes' eyes began to become determined, and his heart beat faster and harder.

He looked directly into the eyes of the girl in front of him, and at this moment he could no longer hold back the words he had been holding back for a long time:

"Mira, I..."

Four slender and warm fingers pressed against his lips, stopping Rhodes from continuing.

"Don't say it!" Mira's eyes became a little panicked, and she began to avoid Rhodes' gaze, her heart beating unsatisfactorily.

She was a little scared.

Although these days, a lot of tacit understanding has been formed between the two, and many things have been tacitly understood.

She knew that such a day would come sooner or later, but she was still a little scared when it happened.

Mira didn't know what she would do after Rhodes said it.

She was afraid that she would reject him for reasons other than feelings. She didn't know what would happen after that, but that... would be unfair to both of them.

"At least, at least for now, don't say anything, okay?" Mira looked into his eyes again, her eyes full of pleading.

Such a look made Rhodes unable to refuse.

After calming down, he also felt that his thoughts just now were a little impulsive.

But he wants to hold her now.

Sometimes a person's body is one step ahead of his or her mind and has already taken action before thinking calmly.

So he hugged it.

Mira's body seemed to stiffen, and the hand covering Rhode's lips dropped, but she did not push him away.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

Time became extremely slow, and the room was so quiet that one could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

It might also be your own.

Mira slowly raised her hands and stretched them behind Rhodes, then gently pushed him away before hugging him.

"I...I should go back."

Mira now lost the courage to look directly at him, lowered her head slightly and walked quickly to the door.

Rhodes was also a little panicked now. He found that he was too irrational today, and his brain that usually worked well was a little unable to move.

Was it too rude? Was she angry with me? Did I go too far?

Should I keep her? Should I explain? How about joking to lighten the mood?

Random thoughts came in one after another, and it was impossible to sort out the chaotic thoughts.

It wasn't until Mira walked to the door that she paused and said in a voice so small that it was difficult to distinguish: "See you tomorrow."

The complicated thoughts were swept away, and Rhodes replied: "See you tomorrow."

He said the same thing twice today to two people. The last time he said it was politeness, this time he said it with expectation.

Completely different mood.

Mira carried her apron and walked downstairs slowly, and met Worm who was going upstairs. She walked down the stairs quickly as if she hadn't seen him.

The chubby Worm originally wanted to nuzzle her and act coquettishly, but failed to catch up with her.

Worm looked at Rhodes a little confused. Did he have a quarrel with his master?

Will there be one less person to feed it in the future?

No.

Rhodes let Worm enter the room, watched Mira's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, and suddenly noticed that her coat was still hanging on the hanger at the door.

Mira was in a hurry, and she didn't remember that she was still wearing a headscarf and an apron until she left the door.

The winter night was a little cold, but she only felt her cheeks burning.

It was impossible to go back to get clothes. Even if I walked slowly, I was worried that he would catch up with me.

We can't let him give it away today.

Mira took a few steps in a hurry and suddenly caught a glimpse of a big crab. Just as she was about to run away, she realized that the person sitting on the crab's back was not a person, but a hairy dumpling with her neatly stacked on its back.

clothes.

Worm, who was responsible for delivering clothes, lay on the back of a river crab. The unscrupulous owner hired child labor.

He even said that if he took off his clothes, he would have nothing to eat tomorrow.

Worm feels aggrieved and doesn't dare to move now.

Mira was struck by Worm's pitiful look, reached out and took off her coat and put it on, then rubbed Worm's head: "Okay, I received it, you can go back."

Worm and He Crab remained silent and followed Mira silently forward.

Mira was walking around, and River Crab was also carrying Worm around.

Although no one spoke, she seemed to hear what someone was saying, and said helplessly: "I know, I know."

Mira stepped on the river crab's back.

Worm silently changed his position, revealing the cushion underneath.

Mira reached out and touched it, it was warm.

This person is really...

She sat on it with a flat mouth, waiting for Worm to come over and hold it in her arms.

What winter, what cold wind.

It's obviously very warm.

Worm is very happy. There will be food to eat tomorrow, maybe a double portion: "Hululu~"

When she arrived at the door of her house, Mira remembered that someone must be able to see the scene here.

"Humph!" She patted Worm on the head, turned around and entered the house, closing the door together with He Crab and Worm.

Worm felt that I was wronged, so why did you hit me?

Rod had done nothing since she left, sitting on the bed having fun.

He lay down and turned over, the smile on his face couldn't stop, and he was so happy that he curled up together.

I hugged Mira today.

Not out of accident or anything, but an active hug.

The joy I felt when I made one million yesterday was far less than what I feel now.

No, you can't get carried away.

Let’s analyze the situation rationally, today’s situation is so rational!

I have hugged Mira today, and the touch of her petite and soft body is still there, and the feeling of slender and warm fingers on her lips is still there.

I don’t want to be rational anymore, hahaha!

As long as he recalled what happened just now, Rhodes would be so happy that he would writhe around on the bed like a bug.

He was happy for a while, and when Worm came back on the river crab, he decided to wash up and calm down.

Hey hey hey.

Has the master finally gone crazy? Worm’s chubby body is squatting on the ground. Will the crazy master convert all the money into delicious food for me to eat?

After washing, Rhodes stopped sitting and giggling.

He hid in bed and giggled.

Let's analyze it calmly. First of all, she is definitely not angry.

Then, thinking about it carefully, Mira seemed to have put her side face on his chest just now.

Although she covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking, she obviously knew what he wanted to say.

This is both not said and said, as if said.

What will happen when we meet tomorrow? Rhodes fell asleep with full anticipation.

It seems like I can't sleep a little bit.

"Hululu~" The short-legged Worm was jumping around in the bedroom. I haven't gone to bed yet, I haven't gone to bed yet!

"I almost forgot about you." Rhodes picked up Worm and felt the weight, "Are you gaining weight again?"

Worm looked at him innocently. Wherever he had gained weight, at most he had grown a little.

"The quilt can hardly cover you." Rhodes tucked Worm into the quilt in disgust, and then hugged him. This was a great achievement.
