Overturned Tower

Even though I just slept for twelve hours...

But as Russell breathed the smell of delphinium, felt her warmth, and rested quietly on her shoulder instead of the pillow, he gradually felt sleepy again.

Stomach has become a little hungry. But he still didn't want to move, just closed his eyes and used the chip to contact the takeaway.

At this point, there was no need to give the delphinium an injection of water—and to be honest, he didn't really want to see the delphinium lying on the bed with a medicine bottle and a pale face.

It always reminded him of something bad. It was as if a bright and colorful person had turned pale in an instant.

Of course, if it is really necessary, Russell can also help her with the needle... He is still very skilled in this. From dispensing medicine to needle insertion to needle withdrawal, the whole process is very skilled. After all, he had already called Alice many times.

During these three days, Delphinium's condition gradually stabilized...

First of all, the color of sweat and tears is no longer that dangerous azure blue, and then the body temperature is no longer so high, and then I don't sweat much. The expression on his face also became calm, no longer as painful as it was at first.

Therefore, Russell had a vague feeling that Delphinium was about to wake up. He didn't want to leave her unless necessary.

Russell always has a subtle feeling...I always feel that if the first person she sees when she wakes up is not herself, it seems that something is missing in her heart.

Suddenly, Russell's ears trembled slightly.

He keenly heard that the delphinium's breathing rhythm suddenly changed slightly.

He raised his head with a quick swipe, and the emerald green boy's eyes were focused on the delphinium.

He soon saw that the corners of Delphinium's mouth could not help but rise slightly.

Delphinium opened her eyes, looked at Russell quietly with a smile on her face.

"you're awake!"

Russell sat up straight from the bed and said excitedly, "I knew you would be fine!"

So what if I have something to do?

Delphinium had such a thought in mind.

But as smart as she is, she didn't say it directly, making Russell feel sad and painful for a tragedy that didn't exist.

"I am back…"

She said softly, her voice soft and hoarse: "Thanks to you, I can come back..."

"Wait a minute, drink some water first!"

Russell came to his senses at this moment, jumped out of bed quickly, poured a cup of warm water for Delphinium, helped her to sit up slowly and drank it.

While being supported to sit up, Delphinium couldn't help laughing: "I'm not that fragile...just a little dizzy."

She drank the cup of hot water in one gulp, then looked at Russell pitifully: "I'm so hungry..."

"I ordered takeaway, you can eat first..."

Russell said subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, you still have to eat something easy to digest."

"I want to eat meat."

Delphinium's tone was as cute as a spoiled child: "I want to eat barbecue..."

But Russell became stricter: "No! Although I don't understand these things, I feel that this must not work...Let me order another stomach-nourishing porridge for you."

"Then I want to drink the porridge you made."

"...But I'm not very good at it."

"It's okay. Will it be okay if there is no porridge?" Delphinium looked at Russell eagerly, "and I can teach you."

It is different from the calm, stable, rational and indifferent temperament that Delphinium always maintains.

Delphinium woke up again after battling with demons... as if she had become enlightened, there was a subtle softness in her words.

But Russell vaguely sensed a fragile emotion.

So without a word he hugged the delphinium.

Delphinium was just quietly hugged by Russell, and said softly: "I can actually feel it... When I was betting with 'Lethal Amount of Love', what happened outside.

"I also know what you said. What you did."

"...Then, will you blame me?"

Russell whispered, "I could have asked Paradise Bird to help."

"I'll blame you if you find her...and if that's the case, I may not be able to wake up."

Delphinium sighed helplessly, and the feeling of fragility and tenderness on her body gradually dissipated: "It's really not easy... taming the demons in my heart or something. You and Mr. Bad Day are much better than me..."

"I think you'll be fine."

Russell let go of the delphinium, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Because kindness from the heart is itself a kind of power. A kind of power gushing from the depths of the heart."

If it was Delphinium in the past, he would have repeatedly argued that he has no so-called "kindness"... he is just a sinner who has killed someone and stained his hands with the blood of his relatives.

But today's delphinium just looked at Russell, and suddenly gave a flutter, revealing a smile as bright as a blooming flower.

She hugged Russell—she had been in a coma for three days, but her arms were still so strong.

"Thank you...Russell."

Delphinium thanked again sincerely: "I can wake up thanks to you.

"Without your... [love], I might sink to death in that ocean."

Just saying the word "love" would make her cheeks blush.

And Russell was too shy to answer this question.

He probably also guessed what happened to the delphinium...it should be an investigation from the devil.

In the end, "Lethal Amount of Love" recognized Delphinium and was willing to entrust her with her power.

"...But I think, maybe I can't live without you now."

Delphinium let go of Russell, stared at him fixedly, and sighed softly: "Then, how can I keep you?"

Russell couldn't help laughing: "Your words remind me of a poem."

Immediately afterwards, he shook his head seriously: "I won't leave."

"Have you ever read poetry..."

Delphinium felt a little surprised.

Russell was a little dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? Of course I have read it. The scope of my reading is very wide and complex."

"Then...can I have a moment?"

The delphinium's ice-blue clear childlike eyes stared at Russell, and said softly, like a puppy, with moist desire: "The poem you said."

"...Is that a love poem?"

"I'm going to listen to that."

She pursed her dry lips and said seriously.

The second tail behind the delphinium slowly drew out, slowly going up along Russell's tailbone. But the cold metal made Russell feel a warm burning pain, like red-hot copper.

"I give you all the insight my books can hold, all the manliness and humor my life can hold..."

Russell whispered softly and recited melodiously: "I give you the loyalty of a man who has never had faith.

"I give you the core of myself that I have managed to preserve...

"Don't make sentences with words, don't trade with dreams,

"The core untouched by time, joy and adversity."

It was a poem by Borges that Russell had heard in his previous life.

He could think of it immediately, precisely because he felt a strange empathy from it.

He stared into the eyes of the delphinium~www.readwn.com~ felt the burning heat on his back, and recited softly, as if he was reciting his own heart:

"I give you the memory of seeing a yellow rose at sunset, before you were born.

"I give you your interpretations, your theories, and true and strange news about you.

"I give you my solitude, my darkness, the hunger of my heart;

"—I want to bribe you with impermanence, with danger, with failure."

"... Finished reading?"

"It's over."

Russell confirmed.

Immediately afterwards, the "Strelitzia" wrapped around the back of his neck slowly climbed up the back of his head like a snake's tail.

Immediately, Strelitzia gently touched forward.

Delphinium pressed Russell's head down and kissed it lightly on the lips.
