Chapter 106 - Made him sonless (1/2)

“I’m in trouble.” After the call is connected, I say to her directly.

At the other end of the phone, Yumi is speaking in a strange tone. She’s saying quickly: “I’m not convenient now. I’ll call you later.”

After that, she just hangs the phone up.

I feel a little strange. Because her voice sounds irritable and her mood feels impatient, far from her usual calm tone. I even hear a little panic from her voice.

I frown and drive all the way home without thinking about it. When I take Dorra upstairs and enter the door, I’m freezing.

Didi and Nanny are sitting face to face on the sofa and both of them look embarrassing. Watching me come in and there’s a young girl following with me. They are freezing too.

“You… You come back?” Didi seems to be in a little panic. She’s immediately standing up and looking at me, then looking at Nanny again, “This one… This Miss Fang is looking for you.”

There’s tension in her tone, and some doubts. I can’t explain too much, just nod to her. Then I bring Dorra up, point at her and say, “Didi. This is my friend’s daughter. She’ll stay with us for some time, you help her get in and tidy up her things first. Well, Dorra, you go with her.”

Then I look at Nanny and ask: “Why are you here?”

Her expression is somewhat awkward, and she’s standing up too. She seems so nervous that she doesn’t even know where to put her hands: “I… You said you were not feeling well. I just come after work and want to see whether you are all right.”

Her tone of voice is a little grieving, looking at my eyes, obviously with gentleness.

I feel a little headache and sigh: “I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong… Thank you… Thank you for coming to see me.”

She seems to want to smile, but just pulls a corner of her mouth and can’t smile at all.

I sigh. I know my tone was a little too hard just now. Maybe she’s feeling a little aggrieved. But now I’m really in a bad mood. What happened tonight is so sudden that I’m really not feeling good.

Didi is standing aside. This girl is kind, but not silly. She seems to see that the atmosphere is somewhat delicate. But she doesn’t say anything, just gives me a deep look, sighing lightly. Then she comes over and takes Dorra’s hand, says gently: “Come with me.”

Dorra hesitats and is looking at me for help. I nod, and she obediently let Didi takes her hand and enters the room.

Nanny is looking at me and finds I’m with a gloomy face. Grievances grow stronger in her eyes. She’s coming slowly and whispering: “I… I didn’t mean to rush you. I was just worried about you. Didn’t you say you were uncomfortable during the day? I…”

I look into her eyes and whisper: “OK, I know, I know… I don’t blame you.”

She’s still not reassured: “Are you really OK? I don’t think you look very well.” She seems to want to reach out and touch my face, but just stretching out half of her hand, she puts it down again.

I shake my head and say: “Sorry, I have something on my mind. I’m not in a good mood right now! But, it’s no big deal.” I try to soften my voice a little, “Let’s talk about it tomorrow, okay?”

“Have you met any trouble?” She says, “Is there anything I can help?”

I think it over very carefully: “Not for the time being…” Looking into her eyes, I feel soft in my heart, “Well, if I need help, I will definitely look for you, I promise, okay?”

Nanny is not a fool after all, and she knows that everyone is embarrassed now – especially here is in my home.

She shows a reluctant smile on her face, then says with sighing: “Okay, I’m leaving.”

I send her out. Didi doesn’t come out of the bedroom until I come back and close the door.

“She has left?” Her expression is still soft, with no complaint at all.

I’m a little embarrassed: “Yes… I’m sorry.”

She’s smiling indifferently: “Why do you say sorry?”

I am speechless.

Yes, why should I say I’m sorry?

Of course, I know why I say “I’m sorry”. But can I say the real reason?

DIdi is really an understanding girl. I even think she seems too surprisingly kind!

She comes to me with smile, reaches out and helps me take off my coat. Then she frowns: “How did you get blood on the coat?”

I look at it, and sure enough, it was stained with some blood: “Other people’s, tonight encountered some troubles, and I fought with some others.”

She gives me a grumbling look and whispering: “Brother Little 5… Can you stop being so impulsive in the future? You’ve always been impatient… But do you know I’m really worried about it. Please, for my sake! OK?”

I’m speechless at the moment. I can’t help holding her in my arms and kissing her on her hair: “OK, I’ll remember.”

I look at her and ask: “Where’s Amy? Why didn’t I see her?”

She’s smiles helplessly: “Amy, she said to go out for a walk. Both of you are too emotional… I don’t know where she went.”

I think it won’t be a serious matter, just look at the room and say: “This girl…”

Didi is laughing suddenly, looking into my eyes and holding me. Her eyes are as gentle as water, whispering: “Brother Little 5, actually, I am a very simple girl. I never ask you what you are doing outside. I don’t know so much, and I don’t know what you’re busy doing. You… There are many things you don’t really need to explain to me.” The girl blinks and says in a sincere voice, “That Miss Fang came to see you tonight. Actually, I know in my heart that I don’t want pretend to be silly on purpose. I just don’t want to ask.”

I feel a little choke with sobs and unable to speak at the moment. After a while, I’m just whispering: “I… Actually, I…”

“You needn’t say that.” She shakes her head, sighing and hugging me tighter: “There are some things I really don’t want to think about. Miss Fang, can’t I see her mind? She’s prettier than me, better than me, and richer than me, surely smarter than I am. I’m just a silly girl. I don’t know anything except to help you do housework at home.”

I don’t know why. Suddenly, my mind is confused and I blurt out: “Don’t you worry about me…”

“I worry.” She still looks very weak, “I do worry about it. But what’s the use of my worries? Should I blame you or question you? Would it be useful to have a big fight with you?”

Her eyes are suddenly turning red, burying her head in my arms and murmuring in a low voice: “Brother Little 5, if you really want to leave me in the future. Can you promise me one thing? You have to be the first peol to tell me, face to face, and then I promise I won’t entangle you.”

I don’t know what it feels like. I’m just feeling a sense of guilty is surging up in my heart, which makes me want to slap myself: “Don’t think too much! It won’t happen.”

She’s wiping the corners of her eyes in my arms quietly, raising her head, and reappearing a bright smile on her face: “Okay. I go to get some medicine for that little girl. She seems about to have a cold and her hair is wet. Was it raining? It shouldn’t be raining today…”

She comes out of my arms. I just find Dorra don’t know when to open the door half quietly, reveals half her head and looks at me in the room with a slight wink in her eyes. Seeing that I have found her, she’s immediately retracting.

I sigh. Sitting on the sofa, I tidy up my mood. After a while, I pick my mobile phone up and dial Yumi’s number again.
