Charles seemed not to have heard the meaning of the words and sat back naturally. "Miss Elizabeth, what's the matter?"
"You said you needed gel. I saw you were in such a hurry, so I brought it here." Elizabeth took out a small box from the back.
"Thank you, how much is it in total?"
Elizabeth pushed the box into Charles' arms with both hands. "Why are you being so polite? It's not worth giving it to you."
After saying that, Elizabeth walked into the house and looked around the somewhat dark room. "Dear, don't you usually find someone to accompany you? It's so lonely to be alone."
Without waiting for Charles to answer, Elizabeth closed the door behind her, walked to the bed and sat down.
Seeing her action, Charles' heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the pairs of eyes under the bed. He coughed lightly and walked to the table to put down the things in his hand.
"You'd better tell me the price. I don't like owing others."
Elizabeth's lips curled up, her face flushed, and the desire in her eyes was about to burst out. "In that case, give you to me."
"W-what?"
Without waiting for Charles to speak, Elizabeth raised the short wooden stick in her hand and pointed it at the oil lamp on the table. The oil lamp exploded directly, and darkness completely enveloped the entire room.
The next second, Charles smelled a fragrant breeze coming over, and a soft body came up to him.
"Relax, dear, you have to learn to relax. The sea is depressing enough."
Charles' breathing became a little rapid, and before he could finish a word, something soft pressed against his lips in the darkness.
Although he couldn't understand the situation, if Charles didn't react, he would be cowardly. A ball of evil fire rose in Charles' heart, and he responded quickly.
The suffocating softness finally left, and the sound of rapid breathing came to my ears.
Just when Charles was about to collapse, a rat squeaking sound came from under the bed. The sound was like a basin of cold water poured on him, chilling him to the bone.
If it were anything else, it would be fine, but there are a lot of light bulbs in the room.
Charles raised his left hand, and the transparent tentacles quickly wrapped around Elizabeth and pushed her out.
"Miss Elizabeth, I'm sorry, I'm a little inconvenient today."
Her face looked a little ugly in the dark. Being rejected so decisively made her doubt her own charm.
She said in a somewhat cold voice: "Charles, are you going a bit too far? I'm not inconvenienced at all, but you are?"
Charles took a deep breath and opened the door, letting the light from the corridor in. "Sorry, it's really not convenient for me today."
"I help you so much every time in the association, but you don't know how to repay me. You are so heartless." Elizabeth straightened her messy clothes and walked towards the corridor with a calm expression.
The giant beauty left her last words after she left, "You don't like men like the Governor, do you?"
Charles showed a bitter smile on his face. He was afraid that the friend he had made with great difficulty would become a stranger again, even though this friend had some impure motives.
But Lily is still in the room. Although she is a mouse, she is still an 11-year-old girl in essence.
In the dark room, Charles found a candle and lit it. After thinking for a while, he said, "Lily, actually, I just-"
The voice came from under the bed. "I know what you are doing. My father is a doctor and he taught me this. Mr. Charles, am I getting in your way?"
"Forehead… "
The next morning, Lily, who was curled up on the pillow, opened her eyes and was about to say good morning to Mr. Charles, but she saw that there was no one in the bed.
"Tiaotiao, is Mr. Charles in the bathroom?"
A brown mouse slipped out through the crack in the door and then quickly came back, squeaking twice at Lily on the pillow.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said to the mice under the bed, "Shall we go out and play?"
Hearing the enthusiastic response from below, a smile appeared on Lily's furry face and she jumped off the bed.
Ignoring the screams that aroused them, Lily led the mice and ran wildly on the streets of the inner island.
The woman in a dress covering her mouth and screaming, the barking wild dogs, the old lady waving a broom, the driver who brakes suddenly, everything seems big and full of novelty from the mouse's perspective.
However, seeing more and more hostile looks around, Lily quickly led the rats to the alley nearby.
There were not as many people in the remote alleys as on the main streets, so Lily led the mice for a leisurely stroll.
"Wow, look at that bread, it's so big, I can sleep in it! Don't go in there! That's someone else's bread!"
"Even meat is not allowed. You will cause trouble for Mr. Charles!"
Just as Lily was wandering aimlessly down the street, she suddenly saw a familiar face in the distance. It was a big man working in the turbine cabin.
Lily was about to rush over to say hello, but she saw James, who was always covered in grease, now wearing a tight suit and holding a very expensive bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He looked very nervous, and the back of his suit was wet with sweat.
"Let's go, we'll follow him secretly and see what he's going to do."
James turned left and right in the alley and finally came to a bakery.
When a pretty woman in a skirt came out, James took out a small box from his arms and knelt on one knee, and the customers in the store applauded.
"Wow! A proposal!" Lily shouted excitedly.
When she saw the woman nod in agreement with tears in her eyes and hugged James, Lily smiled sweetly. "That's great."
Lily continued walking forward as she watched them walk into the store. Just then, her stomach made a rumbling sound.
"Since Mr. Charles said that I am his crew member, he should also pay me a salary. That way, I can buy food for everyone."
The mice around squeaked in agreement.
Looking around, she noticed a big clock tower in the distance. Lily said to the mouse next to her: "Everyone, this place is not far from my home. Let's go over to see mom, and then go home to ask Mr. Charles for food."
After saying that, Lily led the mice to run wildly. This time she learned her lesson and walked only in remote corners, so she didn't scare anyone else.
Lily brought the mice to the front of the villa again. The mice skillfully stacked up and sent the white mouse to a window.
Lily leaned against the glass and looked at the family eating. "Dad, why did you get off work so early today?..."
Looking at them talking and laughing in the house, Lily's eyes began to moisten.
She stood at the window and watched until lunch was over. Only when she saw her mother coming out to take out the trash did Lily quickly hide.
Watching her mother return to the house with reluctance, Lily jumped into the trash can and found the thrown away food scraps.
She picked up a fish bone and licked the fish meat on it. The brown mice swarmed over and cleaned up the food residue in an instant.
At this moment, Lily heard the cheers of a little girl outside. "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for the birthday presents! I love you!!"
The white mouse stood in the garbage, tremblingly raised the fishbone in her hand to the mice around her. Tears slid down her face.
"See, I was right, my mother's sweet fish soup is really delicious."
