Chapter 676 - Fantasy (3)

It wasn't colorful. Standing here, it was like in the long corridor of the hospital. Everywhere was cold, white, and glaring.

It had been a long time since someone cleaned here last time. Here was full of dust. Collin accidentally rubbed the dust and frowned slightly. He entered the bathroom to wash his hands. A voice came from outside the door. It was probably the tenant. He said hoarsely, "Wait a minute."

The person replied, "Okay."

Collin did not hear her voice clearly. The sound of footsteps and water made his brain a little chaotic instead of clear. After washing his hands, he looked at the mirror. He pulled down the mask, revealing a morbid paleness. He touched his forehead and there was still a fever.

Well, it had been a long time since he was sick last time, and once he was sick, the symptoms were severe.

After coming out, there was a person sitting on the sofa with her hair loose. But the sofa was a little high, only the back of her head could be seen. Collin closed the door and took out a set of contracts from the entranceway.

As he walked, he said, "Have you seen the house? If you think it's satisfying, please sign it. You may know the price. Take a look at the house first..." Before he finished saying, he walked to the sofa. Just as he was about to throw the contract on the coffee table, his eye met hers on the sofa.

She didn't wear black-rimmed glasses. She wore a long black dress. Her face was plain with dark pupils. She looked at him in surprise. Obviously, she recognized him although he was wearing a mask.

Collin paused and asked, "You...?"

Roxy stood up and said, "Sorry, I didn't know this was your house."

"So, you don't want to rent?" Collin looked at her and asked.

Roxy said nothing, but the answer had been shown on her face. she thought so.

"Where will you stay these days?" Collin asked.

"You have looked for me?" Roxy asked.

Collin choked for a moment and threw the contract on the coffee table. He said to her, "I'll lower the price, rent it."

Roxy had indeed seen a lot of houses, but she liked the two study rooms here. That was why she wanted to rent this house. However, she never expected that the world was too small.

This house belonged to him.

"How long will you rent it?" Collin found a pen and handed it to her. "Sign it."

Roxy thought for a moment and did not reach for the pen. "Sorry."

"Why?" Collin sat down on the sofa. Because of fever, he wasn't comfortable and was a little impatient. However, his brain was used to controlling his emotions. At this moment, he deliberately did not control. The expression on his face was very unpleasant.

"No why," Roxy said.

"Alright." Collin took back the pen and the contract. He said, "Take care, bye."

Roxy left.

When the door was closed, Collin leaned on the sofa, pinched his eyebrows, and took a breath. His breath was very hot, and he was very uncomfortable. He did not want to move anymore.

After a while, footsteps suddenly sounded. Collin opened his eyes and saw Roxy walking here from the entranceway. She lowered her eyes and he could not see her expression.

When she arrived before Collin, she reached out her hand to touch his forehead.

"You are sick."

Collin did not let her away and just looked her eyes like that.

His face was now in her eyes which were usually dull. There was something faintly flickering inside. Collin did not see them clearly. He only saw her slowly lowering her head to touch his.

"Collin, what are you doing?" Through the mask, her breath fell into his nose, but Collin did not move.

He wanted to know why she didn't rent here. He wanted to know ... He had given her a clear answer. He wanted to continue with her. Why did she refuse? Why did she come back after refusing? She even cared if he was sick.

"Don't worry about being found. The security guards won't let them in." This was the only reason Collin could think of.

Roxy had already stood up. "No, I just ... don't want to be close to you."

"What?" Collin was stunned.

"Beautiful dreams are easy to break. Things are only beautiful when they are not obtained. Once obtained, they are just trash." Roxy's eyes returned to usual hollowness. She was looking at him but she was actually not looking at anything. "I hope this moment can last forever."

"Did you ask me if that's what I want?" Collin grabbed her arms. His skin was so hot. "What am I to you?"

Roxy smiled softly. She rarely smiled like this. There was nothing special on her face, but when she smiled, her entire face became a bit more beautiful.

"Dr. Mueller, you will regret this," She replied.

Collin stopped holding her and asked hoarsely, "Do you want to rent it? If you don't, leave now."

Roxy stood for a while. She picked up a pen and sat on the sofa to write her name down.

After signing the contract, Roxy put the deposit and rent on the coffee table. Then, she sat on the sofa without moving. Collin threw the key at her and did not get the deposit and rent. He turned and left immediately.

After he left, Roxy touched her forehead. The moment they touched each other just now, the temperature seemed to pass along her forehead to her whole body, making her also burn with heat.

She covered her face with fingers and no one could see whether her eyes were empty or hiding other emotions at the moment.
