Chapter 862 Extra Chapter 28: A Light Kiss, A Fluttering Heart, Pursuing Her

The series of actions caught Sinai completely off guard.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was already trapped in Norton's arms.

His icy aura enveloped her, yet his body was burning hot from a fever.

Sinai's body was incredibly stiff, gradually straightening up.

Her usually calm mind started sounding the alarm.

After two beeps, the circuit breaker tripped completely.

My brain has crashed and can no longer think.

The stalemate lasted for a full five minutes before Sinai gradually came to her senses.

She was still being pressed down like that.

Norton's eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed; he showed no signs of waking up.

Sinai tentatively pushed his chest with all her might, but she couldn't push him away even a little bit.

The man's body was hard, like iron, and as immovable as a mountain.

Even last year, when she hadn't fully recovered, she hadn't been this intimate with him.

He treated her very well, and there was physical contact, but he was very careful with his words, just the kind of care an elder would show to a younger person.

I would carry her or lift her up while walking, and I would also use her as a cushion.

This was also the first time she had seen his face up close.

The genes of the world's cities are extremely complex, and there has never been any concept of a race.

If we follow the rule of the seven continents and four oceans, although she and Lu Yuan are siblings, Lu Yuan has a pure Eastern appearance.

She has blue eyes and a very rare hair color.

Sinai also admitted that she prefers Western looks.

As it happens, Norton perfectly captured all her aesthetic preferences.

His short, silver hair was wet and clung to his face.

His muscle definition is incredibly sexy.

It had a strange, eerie quality to it.

As if tired, Norton lowered his head, wanting to lean on her shoulder.

But without warning, his lips brushed against her cheek and then grazed her eyelashes.

Two light kisses.

Sinai could clearly feel the soft, cold touch spreading out little by little.

Her heart went completely out of balance at that moment and started pounding wildly.

"Thump thump thump".

It almost jumped out of my chest.

Only two words remained in Sinai's mind.

That's it.

She was seduced.

no!

If this continues, she might lose control first.

Sinai hesitated, wondering whether he should use a weapon.

Norton suddenly opened his eyes.

Those dark green eyes shimmered with a faint light, like a starry sky or a vortex.

Mysterious, profound, captivating, and elusive.

It easily captured Sinai's entire attention, making it impossible for her to look away.

Sinai's breath hitched suddenly, and her heart felt like it was being pulled out of its socket for a moment.

Norton looked at her, his eyes narrowing as if he were eyeing his prey.

It was as if they wanted to strip her naked.

Sinai pressed her body against the bed in nervousness: "You..."

A few seconds later, he lowered his eyes, his aggressive gaze vanished, and he lowered his head.

He did nothing, he just held her like that.

He rested his chin gently on her shoulder as if holding a doll, and patted her head with his other hand.

She could clearly feel his hair brushing against her skin, leaving a shiver.

"You..." Sinai struggled, gritting her teeth, "Let go!"

Norton remained still.

"Let go of me, I'll find you some more medicine. Do you know you're sick?"

Norton lazily raised his head and gave her a light, indifferent glance.

He then rolled over and lay on his side, but held her even tighter.

Clearly, he was still not fully conscious and had no idea what he was doing.

Sinai: "..."

Who is this person?!

She fumbled for a button on her wristband.

I called over a small robot and asked it to fetch a doll from the storage room.

The little robot ran away, chattering away.

Sinai pushed for a long time, but finally had to accept her fate.

Then the little robot came running back, chattering away, holding a Winnie the Pooh bear in both hands, hopping and skipping.

Sinai laboriously reached out a hand, took the doll from the little robot's hand, and then slowly stuffed it into Norton's arms.

The man noticed that the texture of the object in his arms had changed, and his brows furrowed even more.

But because he still had a fever, he eventually lost the strength to move and drifted off to sleep.

Sinai finally broke free, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and breathed a little heavily.

She lay sprawled on the floor for a while before changing the wet towel and putting it on Norton.

This time, Sinai was on guard and sat about two meters away from the bed.

An hour later, Norton's temperature began to drop, and his face was no longer as red.

Sinai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Ying, you don't need to come over." She called Ying Zijing. "Merry Christmas Eve."

Today is a holiday, and Ying Zijing couldn't find the time because of her experiments, so Fu Yunshen came all the way from China.

She didn't want to bother them any further with things she could handle herself.

Sinai rested her chin on her hand, looked at the man who was already fast asleep, sighed softly, and then went to the bathroom to get a new wet towel.

Then she'll have to work hard and take care of this shameless old man without complaint.

**

The next day, at noon.

The warm sunlight streamed into the bedroom.

Norton slowly opened his eyes.

He lay quietly for a while before sitting up.

Norton shook his head, got dressed, and went downstairs.

He glanced at the villa.

The villa was quiet; there was no one else there except him.

Norton walked into the kitchen and caught a glimpse of a note stuck on the refrigerator.

His gaze sharpened slightly as he looked over.

It's familiar handwriting.

There's porridge in the fridge, remember to heat it up before eating. No beer allowed.

There was also a gun drawn in the bottom right corner.

It was as if she was going to shoot him if he didn't do as she was told.

Norton lowered his eyelashes, his mood quickly returning to normal.

He tore off the little note: "Tsk, they're meddling quite a bit."

Even so, he still opened the refrigerator, took out the porridge, and heated it up.

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with this bowl of porridge.

But when he looked into the kitchen, he noticed signs of an explosion.

Norton took a sip. His expression paused for a moment.

Good, at least it's still drinkable and won't kill you. You've made progress.

He finished his porridge and leaned back in his chair.

Once you empty your mind, all the memories of yesterday come flooding back in an instant.

He remembered her struggling to lift him to bed and feeding him his medicine.

She also recalled him holding her and pinning her down.

He kissed her unconsciously, though not on the lips.

The tactile sensation seems to still be there.

For the first time, Norton's heart skipped a beat, and his body tensed instantly.

He knew he didn't have a normal fever.

Rather, they are some aftereffects left over from being used as experimental subjects in the past.

In this life, he began learning alchemy from the first alchemist in the world, Madonna, at the age of three.

Demund will test the drug on him.

From the first few times to the later frenzy.

Because Madonna discovered that he had a strong self-healing ability.

Over time, the alchemical toxins in his body increased.

His hair, originally black, gradually turned silver-white under Drummond's experiment, losing all its vitality.

His eyes were originally brown, but they turned dark green because of the poison he had been exposed to.

Therefore, every Christmas Eve, he would experience symptoms of varying degrees.

It could be a fever, or it could be nausea and dry heaving.

This is a symptom that cannot be erased even after the sage's power and memories have been restored.

He told her to go out and play with her friends, and told her he wasn't there, just to prevent her from seeing him.

He really didn't expect her to come back and take care of him all night.

He also took liberties with her.

No one had ever taken care of him like this before; he had always been alone.

Norton lowered his eyes and turned on his phone.

His phone's screen saver is a picture of a six-year-old girl sitting expressionlessly on a carousel, with a cold look on her face.

This photo was taken when he took her to the amusement park last time.

It was my first time going there, and it will also be my last.

Unlike Ying Zijin and Xize, he was indeed indifferent to modern high technology.

He bought this phone with Sinai at the time.

Because he was afraid she would get lost, he bought two phones with the same system.

She may have forgotten about it later, and didn't know that the app that reminded her was the one he transferred to her phone through the system.

He didn't tell anyone that he had indeed been seriously injured when he returned from the world of alchemy in order to kill his teacher, Damon.

This caused his power to be temporarily weakened.

He originally planned to return to Norton University to recuperate. He came to G country only to deliver alchemical materials to Ying Zijin and to see Sinai, whom he had been taking care of for half a year.

He later changed his mind and chose to stay in G country, returning to Norton University next year.

He really couldn't bear to part with Sinai; he wanted to see her for a few more months.

Throughout his long life, no one but Sinai lived with him for as long.

The little girl was adorable when she was young, and she remains as beautiful as ever after recovering.

She deserves to be loved by many people.

One more or one less makes no difference.

But at that moment, Norton suddenly realized that he seemed to have different feelings for her.

What happened last night is still vivid in my mind; I can't forget it even if I want to.

Norton shook his head and walked to the refrigerator again.

He ignored Sinai's advice, opened a bottle of beer, and quickly finished it.

He wasn't allergic to alcohol; it was a side effect of being a test subject.

Alchemists are always mad, and Madon is no exception.

During the drug trials, Demon would feed him large amounts of liquor.

His nerves were also damaged as a result.

After leaving D'Amund, Norton never touched alcohol again. Occasionally, he would open a bottle and only take a sip or two to remind himself of the past he could not forget.

This was the first time he had drunk it in a long time.

But after one bottle, the alcohol didn't numb his brain; instead, his thoughts became clearer.

That feeling, sprouting from the earth, gradually spread from my heart and eventually took over every cell.

Norton threw the beer bottle away.

With a loud bang, the bottle rolled to the ground and shattered into pieces.

He stood silently by the window, gazing at the distant mountains.

The remaining shards of glass cut his palm, and drops of blood oozed out.

He did not use any of the sage's powers to protect himself.

He seemed oblivious to the pain, letting the blood flow freely.

It took Norton a very, very long time to stand up.

He was definitely not thinking clearly.

The phone rang at that moment.

Norton glanced at it.

[Little Kid]: I have something to tell you, you bastard. I've passed Mr. Chuan's test, and he's agreed to my marriage with Yueyue. So next year, when Yueyue turns twenty, I'll be getting married.

[Little brat]: I'm telling you in advance (bragging a little)

Norton remained calm and slowly typed a sentence.

[You're overthinking it. Maybe I'll get married before you. Shall we bet?]

[Little Kid]: ?

Norton didn't reply, looking rather listless.

Since he was already out of it, he didn't mind continuing to be out of it.

However, putting it into practice might be quite difficult.

This time, he could also clearly feel Sinai's estrangement from him.

Norton lowered her gaze and began to wonder if he had done something too much that made her distance herself from him.

[Little brat]: You bastard, explain yourself! Hey! You have someone you like? Who? How old?!

[Little Kid]: Are you also an older man dating a younger woman? Wait a minute, besides a six-year-old girl, are there any other men around you? The eldest doesn't count, she's not a woman at all when she gets ruthless.

Before Xize could send his third message, a red exclamation mark popped up, reminding him that his message had been deleted.

Nishizawa: "..."

Depend on!

He really is a piece of trash.

He's going to kill him!

**

What happened on Christmas Eve kept Sinai away from the villa for five consecutive days.

She also deliberately avoided anything or any word related to Norton.

Even when Charlotte was about to talk about Norton University, she quickly changed the subject.

On December 29th, she was still immersed in her work.

It wasn't until Alfonso came to find her in person that Sinai remembered that she had made plans with him to go to the newly opened technology exhibition in G country.

This science and technology exhibition was jointly organized by several international scientific organizations, and many science enthusiasts came from other countries.

But for Sinai, the technology exhibition wasn't anything special.

She does need time to recover.

She took off her lab coat and nodded slightly: "Let's go."

Alfonso was clearly delighted to be able to meet Sinai a second time.

He talked non-stop the whole way.

Sinai, however, was distracted throughout.

Recalling that harrowing night, her face still felt hot.

Old shameless scoundrel.

You old beast!

Not only did they bully her, they also took advantage of her.

As a result, not a single apology was offered during those five days.

She really had no idea what he was thinking.

After the two left the technology exhibition, Alfonso once again invited Sinai to dinner.

Sinai ordered a glass of red wine.

She took a sip and gradually calmed down.

After ordering, the two fell into a state of relative silence.

Alfonso really liked Sinai, but he also experienced considerable frustration.

Because he discovered that no matter what he talked about, Sinai could always respond and even say new things that he couldn't understand.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, these two dates made Alfonso realize that Sinai's knowledge far surpassed his own.

Alfonso suddenly spoke up: "Miss Sinai, is that your cousin?"

Sinai was taken aback: "What?"

She looked in the direction Alfonso pointed, her eyelashes fluttering.

He wore a black overcoat today, in a cool, retro style.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.

She has a figure comparable to that of an international supermodel.

Some of the girls around had already started to let out small screams.

The man's gaze swept over her indifferently, lingering on her for three seconds before he strode over with his long legs.

Sinai's fingers were a little stiff.

She had been deliberately avoiding him for the past five days, so how could they possibly run into each other here by such a coincidence?

If she had known she would run into Norton, she definitely wouldn't have come here to eat.

Sinai's face grew hotter and hotter.

Her only consolation was that she never blushed, and no one could tell anything was wrong.

“Hello, Mr. Lengel,” Alfonso greeted him. “We just ordered, shall we join you?”

This was just a polite formality.

Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't bother them.

Norton glanced at him, but didn't correct his incorrect address, and smiled: "Sure."

After saying that, he sat down quite openly, and even sat next to Sinai.

Alfonso's expression froze; he clearly hadn't expected Norton to play by his own rules.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

These are Sinai's family members, and we'll be spending time with them in the future, so this is a good opportunity to make them more visible and gain their favor.

"What would Mr. Lengel like to eat?" Alfonso called over a waiter again. "It's on me."

"Whatever." Norton didn't look at Alfonso again, but just looked at Sinai and clicked his tongue.

She was indeed distancing herself from him; she didn't even want to look at him.

Sinai lowered his head, but he could feel a gaze fixed on him.

Scorching hot, burning hot, with aggression and aggression.

She became increasingly nervous.

Could it be that he has actually figured something out?

Sinai was certain that she hadn't given herself away.

"I wonder where Mr. Lengel is from?" Alfonso broke the silence, asking with a smile. "May I ask what it's like where you're from, what your customs are?"

Sinai didn't say much; he asked her three questions before she replied with just a few words.

We can only get information from her cousin.

Norton leaned back in his chair, glanced at Sinai who was engrossed in her food, and suddenly spoke, his tone lazy and casual: "Well, where I'm from, according to the law, cousins ​​can get married."

The air suddenly became quiet.
