When Gloria opened her eyes, she was confronted with the dark eyes of Kenny.
With pursed lips and narrowed eyes, she suddenly supported herself all at once and sat up from the bed.
"Bang!"
Kenny was originally leaning over to look at Gloria, and Gloria hit his forehead when she got up.
Gloria silently touched her forehead, a little pain, but it quickly eased off.
Kenny reached out his hand and covered his forehead, staring at Gloria with a calm face.
Gloria slowly slid off the bed and said with a calm look, "Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you."
Although she's also in a bit of pain, Kenny looked like he was in more pain.
Accidentally?
Kenny surely wouldn't believe that it was just an accident.
Because of the bad conditions, they didn't take off their clothes when sleeping, and Gloria just put on her coat and went downstairs.
The old uncle was already up, and was making a fire in the kitchen.
Gloria said, "Uncle, morning."
The uncle raised his head from among the smoke and fire and squinted at Gloria, "Up so early, don't you sleep a little more? "
"I have had enough sleep already, and since you, as the host, have gotten up, so how could we, as guests, still sleep in bed? " Gloria pulled her sleeve up, "Is it to cook breakfast? Let me help you, what needs to be done?"
Uncle shook his head, "No need. I can do it myself."
She looked like a princess that had been protected so well in her family, so she ought not to be able to burn the wood.
"Then it's fine for you to burn the fire and I'll help you cook." Gloria smoothed the hair on the side of her ear and said with a smile.
When Uncle saw that she had been determined, he just sat at the stove and stoked the fire, telling her what to cook.
In the countryside, what was available was what to be eaten.
Uncle told Gloria to fry three eggs and then pour water to boil the noodles.
Before the water boiled, Uncle stood up and took his raincoat to go outside.
Gloria asked him, "What are you going to do?"
"There are vegetables in the front field, I'm going to pick some and cook them ." Uncle said, about to go outside.
Gloria took a look outside, the rain was so heavy, the ground outside the door was muddy, seeming to make people fall down easily.
Gloria frowned slightly, pulling the uncle, "Let me go, it is too dangerous for you to go out now."
"What are you going to do? Do you mean that as a young girl, your going out now is safe? I'll go by myself!" Uncle had a stubborn temper and said so firmly and seriously, making Gloria afraid to insist.
At this time, Kenny came down from upstairs.
Seeing him, Gloria suddenly pointed at him and said to the uncle, "Why don't you let him go? He is a young man, energetic and strong. "
Kenny saw that she pointed to him, slightly raised eyebrows and walked over, "To do what? "
"Uncle said he's going to pick some vegetables from the front field and come back to cook the noodles, the water in the pot will be boiling soon, so you should hurry up." Gloria pushed him outside.
Kenny calmly looked at her, took the raincoat from the uncle, put it on and walked out.
Gloria saw him striding through the rain curtain, and slightly smiled.
She found that Kenny was but never ambiguous in his actions.
Although there was a difference from the past, Kenny was still Kenny.
"Haha." The uncle on the side suddenly laughed, shaking his head and continuing to sit back at the stove to burn the fire.
Gloria asked him, "Uncle, what are you laughing at?"
The uncle just smiled and didn't say anything.
Kenny quickly had finished picking vegetables and came back.
There was a water tank under the eaves of the back door of the kitchen, Gloria took the vegetables over to wash and put them into the pot.
Breakfast was egg noodles.
After eating the breakfast, the uncle sat in the rocking chair by the front door, hugging the cat and fell asleep.
The two of them, Gloria and Kenny, stood under the eaves outside the gate.
"The rain doesn't look like it's going to stop soon." Gloria looked outside at the rain with a worried face.
Kenny also had a very serious expression, "There aren't many homes around here either, the highway is washed out, so there's no other way but to wait for someone to come to the rescue. "
"How do you know there aren't any homes around here?" Gloria asked him curiously.
Kenny raised his eyes slightly, "I went out last night and couldn't see a single light."
It turns out that he went out last night to make sure if there were any other people nearby.
Gloria pursed her lips and outwardly asked him, "Can we really only wait for them to come to us? No other way? "
Kenny turned his head to look at her with little expression on his face, "I told you long ago that it would be best if you didn't come. "
"It's true that it was my own fault for not checking the terrain here before I came, but was your thought really right?"
The expression on Gloria's face faded.
Kenny was indifferent to her words and looked back at her with a disheveled look, "Are you sure you want to discuss this topic with your savior at a time like this, in this tone?"
If it wasn't for Kenny rescuing her, she might still be standing on the side of the road right now, and might not even be able to come back.
Gloria saw that he was impatient, so she didn't continue this topic.
The two of them stood under the eaves for a while, and just as Kenny was about to turn around and go in, Gloria, as if she had figured something out, suddenly reached out and pulled him, "Kenny!"
Kenny looked the same, but his tone had become somewhat impatient, "What else?"
"Were you not letting me come to visit because I'm going to be gone for so long and you feel..." Gloria looked at his face, and paused for a while before saying softly, "You feel that you don't want me to leave? "
The expression of Kenny changed slightly, and his eyes also became a little deeper.
After a few seconds of staring at each other, Kenny raised his eyebrows, "You're quite good at imagining yourself as the favourite of one of the opposite sex."
Gloria unrelentingly asked, "Then why do you think that is? Is it just because you think I can only be around you for no other reason than that exclusive desire in your heart?"
Kenny seemed to be impatient to talk to her, shrugged off her hand and went into the house. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Gloria raised her head, looked at the falling rain and sighed.
Kenny was a tough talker, even if he had an eccentric temper and refused to admit it, the fact that he came to her rescue in the first place meant that he also cared about her.
Kenny's feelings for her now might not be as strong as before, but they were getting deeper and deeper.
That's a good sign.
And what's more important now is that they're getting out of here.
If it rains for more than ten days over here, she and Kenny were going to be stuck here all this time?
Although she's happy to have some alone time with Kenny, the time and place were not suitable.
Tina was still waiting for them at home, not to mention Kenny, who also had to take care of his company's business, and even though he had already arranged the company's affairs before he came out, something would inevitably go wrong, and they didn't even have a cell phone signal here....
Being completely disconnected for more than ten days is no a little thing.
As she entered the house, she heard Kenny talking to the old man.
"Is there another way to get to the county?"
