Chapter 143 Sleeping in the same bed with Larry
“Knock, knock, knock.” There was a knock on the door. Who would come in the middle of the night? Aurelia had just unzipped her down jacket, so she had to zip it up again.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, girl.” The voice was familiar, like the village chief’s wife.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was indeed the village chief’s wife and his handsome son standing outside.
The moment she saw Aurelia, the village chief’s wife smiled happily, “Girl, are you still awake?”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Aurelia nodded, “What’s the matter with you coming here so late?”
The village head Madam turned around and her son picked up something from the ground and handed it to her. “This is my electric heater. My mother asked me to bring it to you.”
“This… how can this be possible?” Aurelia was so moved that she was at a loss for words. She had also observed that there was no electric heater in the village, let alone a solar-powered bathroom heater. Where did this electric heater come from?
The village chief’s wife did not give her a chance to refuse, and directly asked her son to carry the electric heater into the room. She found a socket and plugged it in for her, and waited until the electric heater emitted a hot light before returning.
“Thank you, Auntie and Brother, but this electric heater is given to me, what do you use?” If she guessed correctly, this should be the only electric heater in the village…
The village head’s wife smiled innocently, “We are used to it. You guys are from the big city and can’t stand it. It’s late, go to bed!”
After saying that, he took his son and left.
…
With the electric fan, the room was indeed much warmer. Aurelia sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about it over and over again, but still didn’t understand .
Could it be true, as Briar said, that the village chief’s wife fell in love with her? She wanted her to stay and marry the village chief’s son ? To be honest, the boy was indeed handsome, but she was already married and had Callum… The village chief’s wife probably had worked in vain.
When Aurelia went to find hot water, she stopped the village chief’s wife from falling in love with her.
Because, not only the village head’s wife, but also her… um… landlord, were very welcoming to her. As soon as she asked for hot water, the landlord brought two or three thermoses to her room.
Her foot basin, wash basin, and towels were all new. However, she didn’t care about these new things, because everyone must have new things like her.
When Aurelia finished washing up shiveringly and crawled into bed, she found it was not as cold as she had imagined, but rather warm.
After a closer look, I found out that someone had laid out an electric blanket for her and turned it on in advance…
She finally couldn’t help but take out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Briar and Larry, asking tentatively, “Is your room cold?”
Briar took a long time to reply, “I couldn’t help it, so I slept in the same bed with Larry.”
Without waiting for Aurelia to reply, he sent another voice message, “It’s so damn cold here, and damn Larry asked me to warm his bed. This is intolerable.”
“But for the warmth that comes from having someone to lean on in the second half of the night, I endured it.”
…Aurelia laughed out loud at his amusement.
She also heard Larry yell, “It’s been warm all day, why is the bed still cold? Briar, are you a snake?”
So, they didn’t have electric blankets…
Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, she sent another message to Evelyn, “Are you asleep yet?”
Evelyn sent a voice message, “What are you doing? How can I sleep in such a cold place? I should have brought something to keep warm, even an electric blanket, so that I can’t even get into bed now…”
After all, she was her aunt’s daughter and her cousin. Aurelia was afraid that she would get sick from the cold, so she replied, “Just make do with it for now, or come and sleep with me.”
There was silence for two minutes before he typed a reply, “I’m not sleeping with you! Who knows if you have any weird smells! What the hell is this place? I can’t even find an electric blanket!”
… Okay! Let her freeze!
The next day, the first batch of public welfare materials were distributed in the school in Nancun. Every household received a share. It was just dark when the distribution was completed. The whole day had passed.
Aurelia looked at several fatherless and motherless children, and secretly gave a little money to their grandparents.
The grandmother of one of the children almost knelt down before her, and Aurelia was so scared that she quickly helped her up.
On the third day, before the second batch of charity supplies arrived, a dozen college students took turns teaching the children, telling them stories they had never heard of and singing songs they had never heard of before.
The classroom, which could not be called a classroom, was surrounded by people from the village. Everyone was listening to Aurelia and Briar singing and Larry and Leo telling stories with great interest. They were very happy.
The second batch of supplies was distributed on the morning of the fourth day. This time it was brand new cotton shoes and clothes. Everyone fetched water for the children to wash their feet, and then let the children wash their feet and try on the new shoes.
In the rare afternoon when there was no class, Aurelia slipped to the land behind the school and took a deep breath. I wonder if Cathy and the others received the postcards that the handsome son of the village chief helped to send out.
Just as I found a rock to sit on and took out my cell phone with no signal, a figure appeared in front of me.
She looked up. It was Felix.
Aurelia looked around, she was the only one here, and he was still looking at her, “What do you want from me?”
Felix didn’t say anything, just kept looking at her.
Aurelia was horrified by his gaze, “I’m not a man, don’t look at me like that, I’ll be scared…”
Felix was so angry that he laughed and said with disgust, “As stupid as them!”
“……”So, he came here to cause trouble?
Aurelia put her phone away and stood up from the rock, then she heard Felix say, “Hey, what’s your relationship with Callum?” He overheard someone say that Aurelia was someone Callum had asked to receive special treatment.
Hearing the familiar name, Aurelia looked back at him and threw out a few words, “Kid, take care of yourself.”
Child???
Felix’s forehead was full of black lines. Aurelia should be glad that she is a woman, otherwise he would have beaten her up long ago!
As soon as Aurelia left, Felix sent a message to Elliot, “Brother, Aurelia said something about my child! I want to go back to Evercrest, send someone to pick me up, I don’t want to take that bus!”
There was no signal on my cell phone, and it took a long time for Elliot to receive the message.
Reply to Felix with a few words, “She’s not wrong, stay there.”
Felix, “…”
He was sure that Elliot loved sister Renata, so he went back to ask his father if he and Aurelia were taken away by mistake in the hospital when they were born.
He felt that Aurelia was Elliot’s biological sister, and he was just picked up as a little knight to protect Aurelia.
