novelxo Chapter 29 This Is a Secret
Johny's hand was soon red and swollen, and she looked at Johny subconsciously, but he didn't respond.
At that moment, Ceres suddenly felt a little guilty. Even if he was pretending, it was a bit too much to burn him with hot water!
She immediately brought cold water and began to wash the wound. There was a small piece on the back of his hand with a few bubbles.
After rinsing with cold water, she applied scalded ointment again.
She looked at Johny's calm face, and he did not seem to respond.
Was she really overthinking? How could a normal person be so calm when he was suddenly scalded by hot water? Even if he did not scream out, he would grin, right? Ceres was absent-minded all day because she had been thinking about the matter.
Even when baking cookies in the afternoon, the cookies were made too hot. Looking at the burnt cookies, Ceres carefully put them into the box.
At night, she waited for the masked man on the balcony.
The masked man arrived as promised, and Ceres handed the biscuit to the masked man. "Sorry, today's biscuit was a little burnt, so it will be hard. You just have a try."
The masked man took the cookie and looked at it. "You rarely make such a mistake. Is there something on your mind?"
Ceres subconsciously looked at the hand of the masked man, and he actually wore gloves.
She was a little numb. Why did he wear gloves? Was it to hide something?
"Are you listening to me?" The masked man asked.
"Huh? I'm listening." Ceres scratched his head and then smashed the masked man's chest. "I didn't expect us to get along for a long time. You know me very well. I am a little upset these past few days. I am a little upset when I think that I cannot go to Britain."
"What's yours is yours after all, and you cannot ask for anything if it is not for you."
Ceres skimmed her lips. "Yes, so I have been studying fate recently. I have been studying the palms lines for two days. Do you want me to take a lot at yours?"
Ceres immediately grabbed the masked man's hand, but he quickly pulled out his hand like being burnt. "I do not believe in this."
"Why are you wearing gloves? It's not cold yet." Ceres stared at his hand with gloves.
"My hand was injured."
Injured?
Ceres began to be more suspicious. She just burned Johny's hand today, and the masked man's hand was injured and he put on gloves. Was that too coincidental? "How did you get hurt? Let me see, is it serious?"
"It is not serious." The masked man still dodged.
Ceres pretended to be angry. "Oh, why are you so stingy? Let me see what I can do. Besides, for our relationship, it is not a big deal to see your hands."
The masked man seemed to be afraid that Ceres would look at his hand. "I have to go and patrol." Then he turned and was ready to leave.
"Stop!" Ceres was completely anxious. "What are you hiding? I am telling you, you must show me your hand today, or we will break up!"
Ceres requested, she must act like that, she must see his hand that day, and she must get an answer that day! This matter had been bothering her for many days.
"I will count one to ten. If you do not show it to me, I will really break up with you!"
The masked man turned around. "It is a secret."‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
