Sinai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Ying, you don’t need to co over." She made a call to Ying Zijin, "rry Christmas Eve."
Today is the festival, and Ying Zijin was tied up with experints, so Fu Yunshen specially ca over from Hua Country.
Things she could handle herself, she didn’t want to bother them any further.
Sinai propped her chin on her hand, looking at the man already deep in sleep, she sighed softly, then went to the bathroom to change a new wet towel.
Then she’d just have to work a bit harder and diligently take care of this old shaless man.

The next day, noon.
The sunlight was warm, scattered into the bedroom.
Norton slowly opened his eyes.
He lay still for a while longer before he sat up.
Norton shook his head, got dressed, and went downstairs.
He glanced around the villa.
The villa was very quiet, no one else was there besides him.
Norton walked into the kitchen, catching a glimpse of a note stuck on the fridge.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked over.
It was in familiar handwriting.
[There is porridge in the fridge, rember to heat it up before eating, no drinking beer.]
A gun was drawn in the bottom right corner.
It was as if she would shoot him if he didn’t comply.
Norton’s eyelashes lowered, and his mood quickly steadied.
He tore the small note off: "Tsk, quite a lot of rules."
Even though he said that, he still opened the fridge, took out the porridge, and heated it up.
On the surface, there seed to be no problem with this bowl of porridge.
But when he observed the kitchen, he noticed signs of an explosion.
Norton took a sip. His expression paused montarily.
Not bad, at least drinkable, not poisonous, she’s improved.
He finished the porridge and leaned against the chair.
As soon as his mind relaxed, all of yesterday’s mories flooded back in an instant.
He rembered her struggling to move him to the bed and also rembered her feeding him dicine.
He rembered holding her and pressing her beneath him.
He had kissed her unconsciously, although not on the lips.
The sensation seed to linger.
For the first ti, Norton’s heart thumped heavily, his body instantly tensing.
He knew he wasn’t suffering from an ordinary fever.
But rather so after-effects left from being used as a test subject in the past.
In this lifeti, he had learned alchemy from the first Alchemist in the Alchemy world, Dermont, since he was three years old.
Dermont would test potions on him.
Starting from the initial few tis, to later on, becoming rampant.
Because Dermont discovered his self-healing ability was very strong.
Over the years, the alchemy poison within him accumulated more and more.
His hair was originally black, but under Dermont’s experints, it turned silver-white, devoid of any life.
His eyes were originally brown, but they turned dark green due to the past poison.
So, on Christmas Eve every year, he would exhibit so degree of symptoms.
It could be a fever or it might be nausea and vomiting.
These were symptoms that couldn’t be erased even after regaining the strength and mories of a Sage.
He had told her to go out and play with friends and told her he wasn’t there, to prevent her from seeing it.
He indeed didn’t expect her to co back and take care of him all night.
He had also taken liberties with her.
No one had ever taken care of him like this before, he had always been alone.
Norton lowered his gaze, turning on his phone.
His phone wallpaper was a six-year-old girl sitting expressionlessly on a carousel, looking indifferent.
This was taken the last ti he brought her to the amusent park.
It was the first and also the last ti.
Unlike Ying Zijin and Xize, he indeed had no interest in modern high technology.
He bought this phone when he went to buy it with Sinai.
Afraid she would get lost, he specially bought two phones with linked systems.
Later, perhaps she forgot about it, and didn’t know that the app reminding her was sent to her phone by him through the system.
He hadn’t told anyone that this ti he returned from the Alchemy world to kill his teacher Dermont, and indeed suffered serious injuries.
Causing his strength to temporarily weaken as well.
Originally, he planned to return to Norton University to recuperate, and ca to G Country just to deliver alchemical materials to Ying Zijin, and to check on Sinai, whom he had taken care of for half a year.
Later, he changed his mind and chose to stay in G Country, returning to Norton University next year for the start of the sester.
He really couldn’t bear to part with Sinai, a few more months of seeing her would be good.
In his long life, besides Sinai, there was no second person who lived with him for that long.
When she was little, she was adorably cute, and after recovering physically, she remained beautiful as always.
She deserved to be loved by many people.
One more of him was not too much, one less of him was not too little.
