It was raining lightly outside, and the window sill was wet with raindrops, and the tentacles felt cool.

The wind outside the window finally slipped in unscrupulously, rampaging contentedly in the villa, roaring towards the houses in the depths.

The biting cold wind made even the strong Hareton shiver.

He subconsciously leaned against the fireplace. The firelight warmed his body and made him drowsy.

But this was only temporary, and soon, the cold wind came again with dampness, and the fire couldn't help but dim, struggling hard in the gloomy environment.

Hareton woke up suddenly. He heard a cough, which was suppressed and urgent.

He hasn't gone upstairs yet?This was his first thought.

In the dark night, he froze for a while.

Zhao Linhan gently closed the old door, then casually looked towards the roof.If someone looks at him at this time, you will find an ice blue shadow in his eyes.

This shadow walked further and further away, wrapped in a trace of coolness, and slowly walked towards the deepest part of the castle.

"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Zhao Linhan turned his head abruptly, and was about to speak when he was wrapped around his head by a thin blanket.He pulled himself out helplessly, and looked at the person who didn't know when he came over: "Can you be gentle?"

Hareton pursed his lips and stood not far away in embarrassment.

"Think about things below." Zhao Linhan answered his previous question and returned the quilt to him at the same time. "I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed earlier."

"Sleep with your head covered, no matter what noise you hear at night, don't open your eyes, and don't be curious."

"what are you saying?"

Zhao Linhan stopped walking up the stairs. He stood at the top of the stairs and turned his head. The night wind blew past his thin body, making his complexion deathly pale.

"Have you heard such rumors?"

"In the nearby wasteland, there are some homeless souls wandering. They will appear in the dead of night, and I hope you can bring them home."

"You'll hold their hands, cold, like frozen hands..."

His voice was already weak, but after deliberately speaking in a breathy voice, it was almost inaudible.Hareton couldn't help taking a step back, and then he heard a burst of laughter.

The laughter is mixed with the joy of a successful prank.

Hareton: "..."

He walked away angrily, determined not to meddle in his own business again!

In the early morning, there is fog lingering on the wilderness, and it is still raining lightly outside. The raindrops wash away the floating dust, and the air is completely new.

Zhao Linhan got up later than usual. When he went downstairs, he glanced at the living room. This morning was cooler than usual, and only Qi La was busy going up and down in the living room.

"Mr. Heathcliff seems to have been up all night." Zira held back her words, and couldn't help pouring out as soon as she saw him. "When I got up in the morning, I saw him coming in from the outside, the soles of his shoes were wet, his body was shivering with cold, but he looked very happy."

This is what Qi La thought about all morning but didn't understand.

And after such a toss, he didn't intend to take a rest, changed his clothes and went out again, which is really confusing.

"Maybe it's because I made money." Zhao Linhan made it up and changed the subject.

After breakfast, Zhao Linhan shrank to the fireplace, quietly waiting for his guests to arrive.This meeting is an opportunity. Heathcliff and Zira are not here, and even Hareton is working outside.All he had to do was avoid Joseph if he wanted to talk.

So, after waiting for his guests, he took them upstairs.

Cathy is a lively and lovely little girl, as charming as an elf.Her housekeeper, Nellie, is a kind-looking middle-aged woman, although she is deliberately sullen and looks a little uncomfortable.

It is very rude to entertain guests in the bedroom, but Zhao Linhan has no choice.

"Miss Linton, may I ask you not to come again?"

"What?!" Cathy looked surprised, with a hint of hurt in her expression, unable to understand why he said that.

"I was so worried about you that I left my sick father and came here to see you—"

"I know." Zhao Linhan interrupted her, "I am very grateful for your concern. But telling you not to come over is exactly how I care about you."

"Your housekeeper is well aware that Heathcliff does not like you. He invites you so warmly out of pure interest in your family's fortune."

"If you continue to entangle with me, the whole Thrushcross Grange will be given away."

"I..." Cathy's eyes were dimmed. She was originally a little girl who thought about things very simply, but these days she was always exposed to things that were so complicated that she couldn't imagine.

Her father had said something similar, and Nellie had warned her, but she still doubted it.She didn't want to think of people so badly, but Lin Dun's own words finally made her realize the reality.

"I see." She said listlessly, she understood all this, but it was difficult to accept.

"What about the letter?!" She seemed very concerned about this matter, her big eyes filled with tears, forcing Zhao Linhan not to look at her.

"Letter..." He glanced at her quickly, then turned his head again, and his gaze, which had nowhere to rest, was fixed on Nellie.

"Written at Heathcliff's suggestion."

Needless to say, Cathy understood everything.She couldn't hide her disappointment and lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes flew into the dew like butterfly wings, catching a little bit of water.

She threw herself into Nelly's arms and cried for a while. Zhao Linhan rubbed his nose helplessly as he stared at Nelly.

"I'm going to make some hot tea for you."

As he spoke, he went downstairs, wandered to the kitchen, and didn't bother Joseph, who looked at him disliked. He made two cups of tea and prepared some sweets by himself, and then slowly walked upstairs with a plate. go.

Although the movement was very slow, he was still dragged down by this unsatisfactory body, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

As time passed, his body was getting closer and closer to the dead as described by the skills.Heavy limbs and labored breathing reminded him that his time was numbered.

I don't know if it is the same feeling when there is too much blood loss?Zhao Linhan was attentive when he left.

"Be careful!" Zhao Linhan was awakened by the exclamation, and when he came back to his senses, Nelly rushed over, took the things in his hand, and gave him a disgusted look.

After all, there are not many people who can almost hurt themselves by walking slowly.

It may also be because he just hurt Catherine.

Zhao Linhan looked up and saw Catherine who had put on her hood, moved her hands, and simply pulled them back.

Catherine: "..."

Nellie: "..."

"Sorry, please play for a while longer," he said, and glanced downstairs.

"It's too early, and he'll be suspicious."

Who he is, everyone knows.

Catherine couldn't help asking: "Is he nice to you?"

"I think it's not bad." Zhao Linhan said, "At least I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

"But, you look so pale."

This is a fact.

Zhao Linhan laughed softly, looking extremely calm in front of such things.

"I'm dying." He was as calm as if he had seen that day. "The doctors said it was hard for me to live."

"What?!" Catherine covered her mouth in surprise, "How come? You are younger than me!"

"But my body is worse than yours." Zhao Linhan said very honestly, without any shyness. "Sister, it's rare that I'm in good spirits today, play with me."

Cathy's eyes were reddened by his words, she had been disappointed not long ago, but now she was aroused by the soft emotion in her heart, seeing how anxious she was, she might wish to divide her health Give him a little.

Kind people are always like this, caring about others more than themselves.

Zhao Linhan erased this thought while chatting with her.

After an unknown amount of time, dogs suddenly barked at the door, bringing a lively atmosphere to the quiet castle.

"Did that person come back?" Cathy wrinkled her nose, looking a little unhappy.

"Yes." Zhao Linhan nodded, he stood up from the sofa, and subconsciously wanted to go to the window.But then it occurred to him that by the time he reached the window at his normal pace, he would have been in the house long ago.

This is the tragedy of Turtle Speed.

"Catherine, let's go back too." Nelly couldn't help but said.Although she was very satisfied with getting along today, she had to remind them that they had already spent a lot of time here.

"Don't forget, your father is still sick and is waiting for you to take care of him!"

Cathy was a little reluctant at first, but Nellie moved out of Mr. Linton and finally calmed her down.

Several people walked towards the door. During this period, Zhao Linhan took the time to tell Cathy some precautions that he forgot to mention before.

"Remember to be careful when you go out, don't leave alone."

"Also, help me deal with him. The best situation is that you care about me, but uncle doesn't allow you to see me."

"..."

Catherine agreed immediately, but before she left, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Linhan's gloomy face, "Can I take him back to take care of him?"

Nellie: "..."

My lady, you can really think so.

A few words can dispel her unrealistic thoughts, and Cathy finally resigned to her fate.She put the hood back on, and told her cousin to be sure to rest.

His face was full of concern, and his words were full of worry.

Hareton in the kitchen felt uncomfortable for some reason.

He remembered what Linton had said before: When his cousin came, he was going to sit here and read poems to her?

So they just sat in his position and discussed their poems and songs?

But seeing that Joseph was also in the kitchen, he hesitated.

"Have they been in the kitchen before?"

Joseph didn't even think about it: "Come here, you were very rude when you talked to me."

Joseph thought he was asking if they had passed the kitchen.But in fact, what he asked was whether they had come to play in the kitchen.

Misunderstandings thus arise.Hareton gasped.
