Chapter 41: Not telling you
Bruce slept extremely soundly this night, and was the most comfortable he had slept since the accident.
When he woke up in the morning, Lindsey had already gone to the courtyard to practice boxing. He took his medicine and changed into loose, comfortable clothes and took control of his wheelchair to look for her.
The summer morning in City B was cool and quiet, and the sparrows chattered happily among the trees in the mansion. The corners of his lips rose as he nodded to the logistical servants along the way, constantly increasing the speed of his wheelchair.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the backyard of the mansion and saw Lindsey crouching under a begonia tree from afar, seemingly studying something.
Curiosity rising in his heart, he slowed down and slowly slid over.
“So small, I’m afraid it’s not good to keep it.” Lindsey, oblivious to the fact that someone was approaching, stared tenderly at the little sparrow on the lawn and murmured, “Little thing, where did you fall from?”
The little sparrow could not fly yet, and its body was no bigger than a quail’s egg, trembling and shrinking in the grass, looking terrified.
“I’m not going to eat you.” Lindsey wanted to reach out and grab it, but considering that the sparrow is a species with a big temper, he tilted his head to look up the tree.
The branches of the begonia tree were dry and clean, and there was no bird’s nest anywhere.
Lindsey grew up in the town and accompanied her grandfather to the mountains to collect herbs, so she was familiar with the nests of sparrows.
She just couldn’t bear to leave the tiny one behind, because not only are there many sparrows in this mansion, but there are also a lot of stray cats.
“It’s not a good thing to keep.” Bruce saw that she seemed embarrassed and couldn’t help but open her mouth, “Do you want the gardener to come over and take a look at it?”
Lindsey was startled, turned around to see him, immediately displeased reproach: “came without saying a word, scared me.”
“Seeing you so focused, I didn’t want to disturb.” Bruce calmly lied.
He wouldn’t admit that he was looking at her obsessively and forgot to greet her.
In the early morning sunlight, the man’s face was lightly smiling and his eyes were shining.
Since she found out he could smile, Lindsey had overheard that the curve of his lips was perfect and he seemed to be wearing a smile at all times.
This kind of smile seems to make the sunlight fiercely pluck the gloom from the clouds and shine in all at once, gentle and self-effacing. It always affects one’s mood without even realizing it.
Unfortunately, the chances of him standing up are so low that I wonder if I can live up to his expectations …
Lindsey waved away the untimely thoughts in her head, white as jade hand, pointing to the lawn: “You’re here just in time, watch this little thing for me while I go find out where the nest is.”
“Hmm.” Bruce’s gaze looked tenderly at the side of her face, and the smile on his lips deepened: “I’ll wait for you here.”
The words were obviously very plain, but Lindsey couldn’t hide the smile in her ears.
Bruce took a deep breath, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, looking up at the rare blue sky overhead.
Lindsey does not belong here, she is simply like a clear spring, clear and beautiful, so he can not help but want to treasure it for life.
A lifetime may not be enough, the more I get to know her, the stronger the feelings for her in my heart.
“Bruce, there’s something going on with Tina.” In the midst of contemplation, Cary’s clear, crisp voice suddenly rang in his ears.
Bruce sat up straight, blinked uncomfortably, and sneered, “Burton moved?”
“Tina is locked up, Burton went back home and then got on a plane and left.” Cary’s expression looked very unhappy: “I told people to stay put for now so as not to mess up the plan.”
“What did big sister say.” Bruce looked at him appreciatively, “You did a good job.”
“Miss Charlotte also agreed to stay put, plus Miss Phoebe went to Dinghai.” Cary’s face eased slightly: “Carl came with the news that Miss Charlotte and Madam’s whereabouts were revealed to Tina by her.”
“I know, business matters let Carl listen to big sister, Burton side, we take our time with him, see who can not sit down first.” Bruce saw Lindsey come back with a sad face and felt happy.
Cary noticed the slightest change in his face, said hello to Lindsey, and left in good taste.
“Can’t find this little thing’s mother …” Lindsey frowned and squatted down, pinching a grass root in her hand to gently touch the sparrow: “No matter it it will die.”
“Why don’t we go to the side first and wait to see if the big sparrow will come looking.” Bruce raised his hand and pointed toward the stone table not far away, smiling and proposing, “Just go over there and wait under the shade of the tree, there are cats coming over to see.”
“Okay, are you hungry, I’ll have someone bring breakfast.” Lindsey nodded sullenly, never taking her eyes off the sparrow on the ground.
Her concern made Bruce very flattered, and the smile on his face involuntarily enlarged as he agreed to her proposal.
After eating breakfast and waiting for about half an hour, the big sparrow never appeared, Lindsey had no choice but to take the little sparrow back.
When he entered the living room, Bruce saw that he kept holding the sparrow and could not help but feel amused: “How do you want to raise it, do you want to get a cage for it?”
“You hold it for me, don’t drop it.” Lindsey looked around the living room, suddenly grabbed his hand and carefully put the sparrow into his palm: “Be sure to hold it well.”
Bruce was slightly dazed, the soft touch still seemed to linger on his skin, but his heart was heaving with thoughts.
His eyes chased her back and couldn’t help but remember when he first held her hand. At that time, the kind of tingling touch, like a weed in the bottom of the heart took root.
Now that I look back, I suddenly realize that when she was forced to come to B City, it was the most correct decision he had made in all these years.
When he thought of this, his ink-like starry eyes were once again warm.
“Okay.” In the middle of the walk, Lindsey had already unpacked the tissue box and spread a thick layer of tissue inside, happily running over: “Give it to me.”
“Okay.” Bruce carefully put the sparrow inside and casually asked, “With a place to put it, what’s next?”
Lindsey raised an eyebrow in triumph: “I won’t tell you.”
“…” Bruce was stunned.
After setting up the little sparrow, Lindsey gave him an explanation, turned her head and went back out of the yard.
But soon, she turned back with a disappointed face: “No small bugs found, it seems we have to think of another way.”
Bruce was about to say that there were so many trees in the yard, how could there be no bugs. On second thought, these trees need to be dewormed every year, so it’s normal that they don’t have any.
Lindsey thought about it for a few seconds, then snapped her head and rushed to the kitchen.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Bruce only felt a gust of wind blowing past, where there is still her figure.
He has seen a lot of rules, but this is the first time he has seen Lindsey do something that is not according to the rules.
He shook his head with a smile when his cell phone suddenly rang loudly. He picked it up and looked at the number, and his smile instantly froze on his lips.
