Chapter 69: 069 End Times (15)

At this moment, a red-clothed female zombie climbed up outside the window, with long hair hanging down to her waist, and gray-white eyes sticking out and turning upwards.

Perhaps it was because the glass was smooth and there was no supporting point for the time being. Her entire face was pressed against the window, and her face was hideous and terrifying.

Lu Ruanruan turned on the desk lamp, and turned her head to meet the whitened eyes of the female zombie.

【what! 】The system was so frightened that the three souls and six souls were scattered, and the screams were endless.

【Shut up. 】

Lu Ruanruan rubbed his forehead, his brows and eyes were full of disgust.

Zombies are scary for the first time, but I have seen them many times. In Lu Ruanruan's view, there is only the difference between wearing clothes and not wearing clothes.

For example, the little red in front of me, at least wearing some clothes, looks much better than the naked zombies.

She stepped on her slippers, walked slowly to the French window, gave a thumbs up to Xiaohong, who was screaming outside the window, and then ruthlessly closed the curtains.

With the sound of her pulling the curtains, the sound of zombies screaming outside and scratching doors and windows became louder and louder.

The window Lu Ruanruan had someone reinforce it overnight.

The materials used are the best batch in the entire Federation, and their hardness is comparable to that of pure natural diamonds.

Sure enough, Xiaohong rubbed the window back and forth a few times, to no avail, and because the edge of the bed was narrow. He quickly lost his center of gravity and fell freely with a snap.

Then changed to a small green.

This kind of extreme sports, in normal times, Lu Ruanruan is in a good mood, making a cup of coffee and enjoying it slowly while sitting on the bay window.

However, he was really not in the mood at the moment. There were more and more zombies outside, and the doors and windows were closed.

The cramped villa is like an airtight iron box surrounded by zombies, it is raining outside at the same time, the air in the bedroom is humid and hot, and at the same time, it is wrapped in the stench from the zombies.

Lu Ruanruan frowned, opened the bedside table, and took out a pack of cigarettes.

【Host? 】

Lu Ruanruan didn't say a word, took a silver lighter in her hand, opened the cover, and a cluster of flames shot out from her hand.

The bedroom was extremely quiet, and the system thought she was too annoyed to talk, so she was about to continue talking.

Lu Ruan softly replied: [Huh? 】

【Are you... all right. ] The system tentatively asked.

Lu Ruanruan gathered up her pajamas, and mocked: [What can happen]

【I remember, you don't usually smoke. 】

[Memory is good, I don't smoke now. 】

Lu Ruanruan lazily shook the cigarette stick in her hand twice, the cigarette **** was sparkling, burning slowly inch by inch, and she had no intention of holding the cigarette in her mouth from the beginning to the end.

Milky white smoke rings swirl and rise slowly from between the two fingers, and the smell of nicotine soon counteracts the stench in the room.

After being choked by Lu Ruanruan's daily life, the system was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and not angry.

It coughed, half comforting, half probing: 【Are you in a bad mood tonight... Sigh, who hasn't encountered a few scumbags in this life? I have reminded you a long time ago that even if omega is old, you can't believe it all. Forget it, Yan Shi’s kind, it’s just a pile of mouse **** on your life path…]

The tone of the system deliberately paused, and said bitchly: "But... the next time you meet such a beautiful and innocent man, you must keep your eyes open. Being cheated is the first time you meet sad, and the second time you meet him... Injury to the body... The host is usually very shrewd, so he must be blind this time... oh?"

【all. 】Lu Ruanruan lowered his eyelids and interrupted it meaningfully.

The system is hee hee hee, it has been distorted physically and mentally by Lu Ruanruan recently, looking at this opportunity, it can't vent its anger without stepping on it.

However, in the next second, the female alph replied coldly: 【You can eat shit, but you can't talk nonsense. 】

Being scolded for eating shit, the system didn't notice anything, and opened its mouth to continue to taunt.

But seeing that Lu Ruanruan ignored it at all, he just focused on lighting the second cigarette, then the third, and the fourth...

She didn't throw away the cigarette case in her hand until she lit the whole pack of cigarettes.

The system is a little confused.

What is this for?

Trapped by love, smoking to relieve thousands of worries.

its not right. The virtue of the host found that he was being cheated. With her personality, she must retaliate, and the first thing she does is to punish her **** to death.

However at this moment...

Makes people haggard for Yixiao...

The system said that on the surface, it advises you not to be sad.

Inside is, fight.

There are countless cases of suicide for love. ,

The system asked in a suppressed happy mood; [Host, it's the first time I've seen you feel so sad for a male omgea. Alas...just a lovelorn. Don't look like this, it's scary]

Lu Ruanruan patted the non-existent dust on her fingertips, stopped, and repeated: [Lovebroken? 】

【if not? 】

【How do you judge that I'm broken in love? 】

The system didn't even think about it: [There is no need to deny this kind of thing, the conversation between Yan Shi and Shi Jing... If you didn't hear it, how could I listen...]

The sound of the system stopped abruptly, and it reacted belatedly, wishing it could slap itself twice.

Lu Ruanruan opened her eyelids and let out a meaningful oh; [I said, at such a long distance, you can go beyond the world consciousness and check it privately. It turned out that it was not an illegal operation, but shared with my five senses. 】

The system is too nervous to say anything, this time it's not worry, it's scare.

The accompanying system has three chances to share with the host's five senses in each world, and it has always been well hidden. In the previous world, this authority was also used quietly, and it can trip up the host's mission at critical times. .

It's all right now, the vest is completely off.

Caught off guard, the tricks were exposed, and the whole system is not very good. In this world, the host is smarter than before, and more than half of her soul power has recovered, making her speak and act in the same way as before.

It suddenly had a bad premonition, if the host successfully conquered the hero of this world, and made a great contribution to the plane just like the end of the previous world.

Then will she cross the next world and restore her memory directly.

Thinking of this possibility, the system couldn't laugh anymore. The mouth of the throat is like a stick in the throat, and I can't even find an excuse to refute.

Lu Ruanruan shook Erlang's legs for a while, and sneered coldly; "Since you don't speak, it proves that I guessed right. It is true that the five senses share this privilege. In the last world, Xiaojing and I, are you Haven't you experienced it too?"

The system's face turned into a pig's liver color. If it dared to look at this harmonious picture, it would have been harmoniously mosaiced by the world consciousness long ago.

I can't do it yellow, and I feel that my ears are polluted, the system is broken: [You lied to me. 】

Lu Ruanruan has never been very disciplined in doing things.

Especially when she is really not in a good mood right now.

Seeing the system blowing hairs in his mind, he apologized without sincerity: 【Sorry. I just didn't expect that you have already shared all five senses with me, and you must smell the stench of zombies in the air. That being the case, what kind of incomprehensible nicotine will dispel the smell when you light a cigarette, and you can make it into a heroine of a bitter drama...]

The system was choked with tears streaming down its face, took a quick breath, and continued to refute without giving up; [Host, there is no need to deny it, the calmer you appear every time, the more you care. 】

Lu Ruanruan said casually, and she shrugged Shi Shiran.

The shattered light from the top of her head fell on her lazy face, the fox eyes were bent, looking carefully, there was nothing that made Yi Xiao feel haggard.

The system continued to work hard: [I don't believe you didn't see it. When Shi Jing was very afraid of words, your adopted brother's military strength is very powerful... But he doesn't show himself in front of you, he has deep scheming, and his purpose is not pure...]

[Isn't this pretty good? A scheming person has a plan. Once I catch him making a mistake, I can throw him away without any psychological burden. 】

Lu Ruanruan squinted her eyes and smiled openly; [Tongtong, I suggest you, next time you talk to me, wipe it off with a tissue, your head is full of flying. 】

system;【…】

It wants to hit her.

The air was humid and smelly, so Lu Ruanruan simply went back to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yuncheng hydropower was cut off a few days ago, and the water used at home is the water she stored before.

Considering that one day is less than one day, it should be used sparingly, but the trouble Lu Ruanruan is facing now is the susceptibility period.

Sending off the hero's younger brother, she will leave here herself.

After all, this villa area is not safe anymore, she can only avoid unnecessary troubles if she walks alone and can enter the space without any scruples when the susceptible period comes.

While the hair was drying naturally, Lu Ruanruan was not idle, and called up the map to observe the terrain of the world.

The end of the world has just erupted, and the mountainous area is relatively safe, sparsely populated, and the chance of infection is relatively low.

However, after a year, the animals and plants will mutate, and this relative safety will become a dangerous situation.

Lu Ruanruan took a pen to mark on the topographic map, heard a knock on the door, and the tip of the pen drew a deep scratch on the topographic map.

"Sister, are you asleep?"

"Hold on."

Lu Ruanruan smiled calmly, and every night at this hour, my good brother would give me a glass of milk.

For her, it doesn't matter whether the latter has scheming or not.

If he is obedient, do nothing.

Naturally, Lu Ruanruan will ignore the past and send him to the safe zone.

However, it was obvious that Yan Shi persisted in staying by her side, with intentions and plans.

Just like now, at nine o'clock in the evening.

The poor little brother who had a fever and was sick would stay up late every night to boil milk for her, and carefully recalled the time of this incident, which was accurate to the second every night.

Why didn't you notice it before?

Lu Ruanruan smiled from the bottom of his heart, but his face was calm.

She leaned against the door and gathered her champagne-colored pajamas.

The other hand opened the door of the master bedroom.

Three meters away, the man was holding milk, his pale skin looked whiter than the milk.

"Has Shi Shao settled down?"

Shi Jing lowered his eyes, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he hummed with displeasure on the surface.

The light in the blue eyes was dim, and it was almost like being ignored was written in the bottom of the eyes.

Lu Ruanruan took a panoramic view of his expression, and said to himself, I don't know if I'm tired of pretending.

She looked tired for him.

Lu Ruanruan supported the wall with one hand, and asked with an unchanged expression: "You seem to be in a good state of mind tonight, don't you have a fever?"

Shi Jing was slightly stunned, as if he had sensed the meaning of these words, his head drooped a little more, and his face flushed: "It's much better. Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not...won't bother you brazenly tonight."

His crow feather-colored eyelashes trembled uncomfortably, and a tear hung in the corner of his eye, aggrieved and obedient.

Lu Ruanruan took out a piece of paper and handed it to the man, and said lazily: "I heard that most people have a fever. Almost all of them will awaken their abilities. I haven't asked yet, brother, what is your ability?"

Shi Jing raised his eyelashes and looked at her blankly: "What is a supernatural power? Is it a supernatural power?"

Lu Ruanruan opened his eyelids, and glanced at him with the end of his eyes.

The man was wearing off-white home clothes, and the weather was stuffy. There was not a trace of sweat on the smooth forehead.

He seems to especially like to put a pair of frameless gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, the lenses are glowing with silver light, which makes those beautiful eyes like glass beads more gentle.

Seeing her look over, the corners of the man's lips curled up in a flattering smile reflexively.

The orchid and jade tree on her body, the demeanor of the scenery and the moon, faded away like a cloud. Because of this humble smile,. It turned into a bit of the pure and beautiful attachment and calmness of a young man.

advanced.

Lu Ruanruan couldn't help giving the other party a thumbs up in her heart, she gave this acting skill full marks.

"Sister?" Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Shi Jing called again timidly.

It is rare to see Ling Yao distracted by anyone, she has always been lazy, and she is tired of even looking at others. An affectionate gaze like this moment is almost impossible.

Thinking of the occasion when she rarely protected him tonight, Shi Jing's face showed an excitement that he had never noticed.

The long eyelashes lifted up, just hitting into a pair of flower-like pupils.

Shi Jing's heart twitched, and the numbness spread from the tailbone to the heart.

The female alpha took a bath again tonight, and changed into a champagne suspender nightdress. Her long straight neck seemed to glow under the light.

The suspenders are tight around the round shoulders, and the skin lined with red marks is more and more fragile.

The two colors are intertwined, and the colors are bright and magnificent.

Shi Jing's mind wandered, his gaze paused on the two fragile suspenders, and a cluster of obscure sparks shot up in his eyes. .

Taking his look into his eyes, Lu Ruanruan turned sideways unobtrusively, hummed casually, blocked the door but did not invite him to sit in the room as usual.

Shi Jing was slightly stunned, with two tears in his eyes: "Sister, is it convenient for you to go in?"

"It's too late." Lu Ruanruan looked embarrassed; "Shi Yan's younger brother is at my house, after all, you are an omgea, and you came into my room in the middle of the night... Anyway, it is easy for him to misunderstand."

Shi Jing squinted his eyes and lowered his head. The tone was slightly disappointed: "My sister sacrificed too much for the person she likes..."

"It's okay." Lu Ruanruan casually said, glanced at the milk in his hand, and brought the topic back on track: "Brother, can you drink the milk by yourself tonight?"

"It's also because you want to avoid suspicion?" Shi Jing hid half of his face in the shadows, his eyes flicked a little absurdity, he finally noticed something was wrong after talking to this point, Ling Yao looked at him with a little more distance than usual.

After much deliberation, there is only one reason: "time scene."?

Ah!

Shi Jing himself said that he almost laughed out of anger.

He sneered again and again from the bottom of his heart, but maintained a pure grievance on his face. When he saw her look over, his eye sockets quickly filled with a layer of plump moisture.

Lu Ruanruan didn't say a word, and enjoyed the whole process of the other party's face changing.

It has to be said that the man's appearance of not shedding tears easily gave her the urge to make him cry completely.

Lu Ruanruan coughed softly, "Actually, I don't like drinking milk very much, and I just brushed my teeth..."

Before Lu Ruanruan could finish speaking, he heard a sob suddenly, and the refusal came to an abrupt end.

Even if he knew he was faking it, and took him seriously, Lu Ruanruan felt that he couldn't refuse too much, it would be bad to startle the snake.

After all, you need to know the reason why he is so persistent in delivering milk to himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Ruanruan said softly, "Forget it. Put the milk here, and I'll drink it later."

There were teardrops on Shi Jing's eyelashes, and he looked over with aggrieved azure eyes, and said in a crying tone, "Sister, don't you want me? You weren't like this when Brother Shi Jing didn't come. You would do it in front of my face." Finish your milk, then say good night to me gently. Do you think it's a burden for me to stay? I know I..."

He lowered his head in low self-esteem, his bony fingers tightly pinched the milk glass, and tears quietly flowed into his chest along the handsome outline.

The silence speaks.

Tears hang on the blue Adam's apple, full of sexual tension.

Lu Ruanruan finally figured out the reason why he kept compromising again and again. Yan Shi, when this man acted like a stripped lychee, even with his clothes on.

No one can ignore this kind of temptation.

Food **** is also, the premise is that the other party is not a threat to oneself.

She glanced vaguely at the milk glass tightly held in the man's hand behind her, and smiled inexplicably, and followed his words to apologize: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't care about your feelings, it's just a glass of milk, Don't cry, I'll drink it."

While comforting, Lu Ruanruan took the milk in his hand and poured it into his throat.

Shi Jing immediately stopped crying, still seemed unhappy, but obediently took the empty cup, said a few more words to Lu Ruanruan, as usual, said good night to her, and then obediently replied own room.

The master bedroom returned to silence, and Lu Ruanruan took out a detoxification pill from the blood jade space and fed it into his mouth expressionlessly.

Then turn off the lights and sleep as if nothing had happened.

Gun base.

Duan Qian is reporting to Shijing the latest influx of people in the base in recent days and the distribution of the superhuman team.

The base had just experienced a zombie siege during the day, and Boss Shi personally led the team, so the damage was not too great.

But because of the zombie siege, the strength of the firearms base was exposed in advance. In the afternoon, a large number of fleeing urban population poured in.

Duan Qian reported the difficulties encountered after the scene left in a straightforward manner, and reported them one by one.

Ten minutes later, the man has dealt with all remaining issues.

The office fell into a brief silence.

As if he had forgotten that Duan Qian was in the office, he propped his chin and stared blankly at the pen holder on the desk.

"Boss?"

Duan Qian called out tentatively, and followed his gaze. There were a few signature pens stuck in the pen container here and there. The only thing special was that the pen container was an ancient earth antique unearthed a few years ago.

It is made of ebony, carved with wintersweet and Yaoqin, and engraved with a poem "Wintersweet competes to add color frequently, and the scenery of Yaojing is full of poetry."

Duan Qian looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything special about this pen holder.

However, the man leaning on the office chair carefully observed the pen holder. After looking at it for a long time, his handsome eyebrows and eyes showed a little trance.

This was the first time when Duan Qian was reporting to work, and he was distracted by the scene.

He yelled again: "Boss, do you have anything else to order?"

Shi Jing rolled his eyelids, noncommittal: "This pen holder is pretty good."

The topic changed too quickly, even though Duan Qian was usually the best at socializing, he could only nod his head in agreement at this moment.

"Antique ancient sandalwood usually comes from Yuncheng. Could it be someone who gave this thing?" Shi Jing's voice was extremely low, he took out the signature pen, and checked the pen holder back and forth. .

"I remember that a few years ago, there were quite a lot of female A who secretly confessed to me...the pen holder with the name engraved on it vaguely, in case someone secretly..."

Shi Jing's tone paused slightly, he raised his eyes, and looked at Duan Qian with fiery eyes: "Do you have any impression? Could this kind of pen holder be secretly sent in by someone secretly?"

Duan Qian shuddered and quickly denied: "Boss, don't worry about my work, there will never be any items of unknown origin in your office."

The emotion in Shi Jing's eyes faded a little, and he stared at the two words side by side on the pen holder: "Then...this..."

"The pen holder is a gadget that you bought at an auction a few years ago..."

Oh, the disappointment of the times.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Duan Qian could hear a hint of disappointment in the other party's tone.

The atmosphere in the office was a bit dull, Duan Qian coughed lightly, took out a test report from a pile of documents, and handed it to Shi Jing: "Boss, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you, the serum sample you brought back a few days ago , the result of the last pheromone concentration index came out. Here..."

Shi Jing glanced indifferently at first, and his eyes fell on one of the data of pheromone fluctuation value, his pupils suddenly constricted.

"How accurate is the test result of our base?"

Seeing that the scene returned to normal, Duan Qian sorted out his thoughts and added: "Theoretically, the detection accuracy is as high as 100%. This report is compared with the serum data of the test subject you got back last time. The pheromone concentration can be seen with the naked eye. speed increase."

Duan Qian took a careful look at the scene: "If the serum donor can be brought back to the base for a comprehensive blood test, it can provide more valuable data for the pheromone research sequence being established."

Duan Qian's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was completely silent in the end.

A man separated by a desk tapped the table with his slender fingers one after another, and his gaze drifted over.

As if covered with a layer of coldness, Duan Qian's spine was covered with a layer of cold sweat, his heart was beating, and he closed his mouth very wisely.

It took a long time before I heard the man hum a few words from his nose: "It was possible before, but not now."

Duan Qian: ...

Lu Ruanruan lay on the bed and fell asleep. When he was drowsy, there was a sound of opening the door.

She rolled her eyelids and woke up very quickly.

Staring at the slowly pushed door, the corners of his lips curled up in a clear arc.

The speech came in the middle of the night as she expected.

In the dark, the tall and straight man walked very lightly.

The footsteps were getting closer, and he stood by the bed watching her for a while.

In the silent space, Lu Ruanruan could feel the burning gaze on his face, but surprisingly, there was no killing intent.

Lu Ruanruan resisted the urge to open her eyes and tried to maintain a steady breathing.

The sound of **** came from the ear.

A minute later, the thin body on the side was pulled away, and a warm body was stuck to the back.

"Sister?" He called her, his voice was low and hoarse, and in the dark night, his voice was as sweet and greasy as if wrapped in syrup.

Lu Ruanruan was unmoved.

"Yaoyao." The man changed his name this time, and called out again. In the dark night, his lips were pressed against her ear, and he suddenly smiled: "Which Yao is it? Since you don't answer, just pretend it's her." "Winter plums compete to add color to the frequency, and the scenery of Yaojing is full of poetry." Yao, how is it?"

Lu Ruanruan couldn't explain it in a single word, and said to himself, are you tired? Before committing an attack, you can still recite a poem artfully. Could it be that you have a serious illness.

She disliked it so much, but she looked soundly asleep on her face.

On the other end, Shi Jing seemed to feel that talking to himself was boring, so he stretched out an arm, wrapped it around her shoulder, and wrapped her in his arms with ease.

Lu Ruanruan: ...

Tonight, Shi Jing added sleep aid medicine to Lu Ruanruan's milk, and the woman under the moonlight slept deeply, her curled eyelashes resting on her eyelids, casting a deep shadow.

She is extremely good-looking, lazy and glamorous, with delicate features like a jade pestle.

The moonlight sprinkled on the lips, like a little cinnabar in the heart of a beauty.

A trace of amazement flashed across Shi Jing's eyes, and his fingers moved up involuntarily.

Following this movement, the syringe held between **** fell into the navy blue bed sheet with a "snap".

He took a deep breath, stared at her lips intently, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Yaoyao, is your susceptibility period approaching?"

Lu Ruanruan was full of absurdity, and was so shocked by the man's words that he almost revealed his secrets.

Her mood dropped to freezing point: [Why did Yan Shi know that I have a susceptible period? 】

[? ? ? ? ? 】

[Fuck, I don't know, I don't have permission to view non-plot character information. 】

[How did Yan Shi know the term susceptibility period? 】

[No no no. The virus invaded, he... he is... turned out to be a reborn person! Host wait a moment, I will report right away. 】

The system seemed to be more anxious than Lu Ruanruan, and put forward a solution in a panic. Obviously, it was also caught off guard by such an unexpected situation.

Lu Ruanruan held back the emotions in her heart and forced herself to calm down. It took time for the system to report. No matter how shocked she was, this time she had no choice but to wait and see.

At the same time, Shi Jing's slender fingers had already clasped the back of her right hand.

He skillfully lifted up her sleeve, pulled a wine-red ribbon, and tied it above Lu Ruanruan's elbow.

"Sister, does it hurt to draw blood?"

"You sleep so soundly, it must not hurt."

Holding an alcohol swab between his fingers, Shi Jing selected a full blood vessel, and slowly disinfected her.

However, the tone of his speech was genuinely sad, and he choked up and said, "But I hurt, my heart hurts."

Lu Ruanruan's rebellious fingers were frozen in the quilt, and she didn't have the urge to lift it up for a long time. .

The man's cold tears fell on his face, like a basin of water pouring down his head, Lu Ruanruan's three views had been shaken to pieces.

Originally thought that Xiao Tanggui's younger brother Ting Po Tian was just a black lotus flower, but he didn't expect it! After all, she underestimated him. The man is a **** who plays his true colors...

In the darkness, the roars and howls of zombies came and went.

Shi Jing seemed to have not heard, his expression was focused, tears were hanging from the corners of his eyes, Lu Ruan's elbows and heart were tense, he was holding a blood drawer, and the cold needle tip touched her skin.

The big snake hit seven inches, Lu Ruanruan slowly opened his eyes, and clamped the master's wrist with his backhand.

The other hand went around the opponent's back, raised his leg, bent his knees, rolled over and knocked him down, pinning him on the dark blue bed sheet.

"Brother, I'm actually in pain."

Lu Ruanruan dodged the blood-drawing needle in the man's hand, and looked at him with lowered eyelids.

The latter was startled for a moment, his pale skin was frighteningly pale under the moonlight.

It was very quiet in the room.

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, and he suddenly laughed softly: "Then I will be lighter next time..."

Lu Ruanruan didn't say anything, just took the tip of the blood drawing needle, and scratched the man's naked skin in a leisurely manner.

Originally thought that this was considered a threat.

However, in the next second, the man quietly shed tears, licked his dry lips, raised his body, and repeatedly rubbed against her needle point with his luppy back.

He was panting morbidly, and his satin-like back was shaking: "Sister... um... Take it easy."

Lu Ruanruan paused her fingers slightly, and glanced back and forth at the man with a crazy look.

She pressed the tip of the needle to his neck with a dull expression: "It's hard for me to continue chatting with you when you look like this. People talk to ducks... facing a big white goose all the time. Call…"

The big white goose Shi Jing's eyes were still stained with tears, his eyes suddenly sank after hearing these words, his handsome face was not tense, and the tears sank into the sheets without any sense of beauty.

At the same time, the alpha in front of him didn't seem to have eyes, and didn't even look at his blatantly seductive appearance. Shi Jing looked back and forth several times to make sure that she didn't like him.

I can't tell whether it is more lost or just ignited the excitement of conquering desire.

He opened his eyelids, his eyes were weak and scattered, he looked into her eyes rightly, pulled the woman's drooping hair with his slender hands, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you want to talk about?"
