Chapter 3 There is a ghost in the house.

Leaving her on the first floor, Shen Mingxu went upstairs to change clothes and drove out alone. Thinking about his disabled left leg that could hardly walk firmly on the ground, and recalling the several luxury cars in the underground garage, Shao Yunxi realized that he was injured in his left leg and could drive by himself.

While the owner was not at home, Shao Yunxi began to carefully visit this poetic, simple and romantic log-colored house. Before she was halfway there, the deliveryman broke the silence.

Small boxes of water, various brands of pure water stunned her. Could he taste different flavors from different brands? Boxes of water, fruits, and various snacks with beautiful packaging were brought into the house. There were too many.

"Sorry, I can't go in anymore. Please put them in the refrigerator." The deliveryman was more familiar with this house than Yunxi. He pointed in the direction of the kitchen and politely left the villa from the door.

After opening his eyes wide to distinguish for a long time, Yunxi realized that the pair of tall wardrobes next to the kitchen were actually refrigerators. The two refrigerators were embedded in the wooden cabinets. No wonder she didn't see them for a while.

The food boxes were not too big, but Yunxi still spent a long time sorting them out by herself. The refrigerator was also too big. She had a hard time reaching the highest point with her height of 165cm. She couldn't help but think that, besides the basement, the refrigerator was another good place to hide some dirty things.

The night was like a veil covering the earth. Yunxi sorted out the small room that had never been lived in. Just as she was about to walk out, she heard the unique sound of a cane hitting the floor, "clack, clack"... Shen Mingxu, wearing clothes and loosening his tie, walked slowly from the elevator entrance.

Seeing that there were several packaging boxes piled up at the door of Yunxi's room, she happened to stick her head out in a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans. Shen Mingxu asked her, "Is the room dirty? Can we live here?"

"It's not dirty. You can see that someone cleans it regularly." In fact, Yunxi felt that this house was too clean, as if no one lived there.

"That's right. Someone has been cleaning. From now on, you will be the only one who can help me with my clothes and bedroom. No outsiders will be allowed to clean." Standing still, Shen Mingxu's voice was low and a little tired, and he actually told her the specific content of the work again.

"Okay."

"I brought you food." He raised his right hand, and Yunxi saw that the man was holding a box in his hand. She hurried to his side to take it and thanked him.

"Have you eaten?" She couldn't help but care about him, but after she finished speaking, she felt that her question was a bit redundant and bit her lip.

"Yeah."

He turned around and walked away with his cane. His slender left leg had no strength at all, and it was almost dragging on the ground. His steps were much slower than when she saw him being arrogant and unreasonable in the morning.

Leaving Yunxi unpacking the exquisite and delicate lunch box in the kitchen on the first floor, Shen Mingxu insisted on walking into the room step by step. His legs were weak and he sat down on the sofa. He threw the cane in his hand to the floor. He opened his legs slightly and didn't want to move again. He walked too much today. Not only did his scarred leg hurt badly, but his fractured right leg also felt sore and swollen, and he could no longer walk.

His legs had been seriously injured, and he had undergone numerous major and minor surgeries in the past seven years, and had been constantly undergoing physical therapy, medication, and appropriate soothing massages. Now he had to rest more and take care of his fragile bones and muscles, but at this moment, Shen Mingxu wanted to rest for a while to make the pain less acute. He grabbed the armrest of the sofa, picked up his cane, straightened his crooked left leg, supported the sofa with his right hand, supported the cane with his left hand, and barely stood up with the strength of his right leg.

After a quick shower and taking painkillers, Shen Mingxu went to sleep.

The next morning, Yunxi felt that she had gotten up very early. She quietly opened the door and saw that the lights from the restaurant to the hall were brightly lit, which was several times brighter than the morning light outside the window.

Did she get up late? Yunxi subconsciously looked at the time. It was 6:10, not too late. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the room.

She walked out quietly. Her room was next to the kitchen. Suddenly, she saw a tall figure standing by the refrigerator and opening the door. Yunxi couldn't react for a moment. Whoa! It was him!

The owner of the house, Shen Mingxu, was taking water from the refrigerator. He was wearing a white vest and shorts. He was leaning on a black elbow crutch in his right hand and his left elbow crutch was hanging on his arm. He had already taken the water.

That hairstyle, those broad shoulders, and slender legs... It was him. But after seeing Shen Mingxu's exposed calf, Yunxi was so scared that she couldn't help but let out a clear gasp, because compared with the other skin colors of Shen Mingxu, his left calf was like hell.

At first glance, Yunxi thought he was wearing something like a knee pad on his calf, but when she looked closely, unlike the light white skin part, Shen Mingxu's left calf had no muscles, probably because he had lost almost all of his calf due to severe injuries. There was only a leg bone wrapped in layers of scars and spots.

Like the remnant of a limb torn off by a beast, his calf was only left with a leg bone!

The scars left by the patched-up leg covered the slender leg. Regardless of the color or appearance, Shen Mingxu's left calf could not be associated with people of his age. It seemed to exist on his body like a spliced ​​prosthesis, which was really horrifying.

Is this why he needs a cane?

Hearing the sound, Shen Mingxu turned his face with his right leg supported by his elbow crutch as a fulcrum and asked her expressionlessly, "Are you scared?"

She shook her head vigorously.

Grabbing the water with his hands and moving his elbow crutch with both arms, Shen Mingxu walked towards the elevator without looking back. He was wearing a slipper on his left foot, and the slipper rubbed on the floor with his movements. His left leg was slightly curled up, and his toes were dragged by his body, and he could not take a step.

She seemed to be going to make breakfast. In order to avoid embarrassment, Yunxi decided not to stare at his legs and turned her head to the side. In her eyes, she saw a huge black animal moving on the light wooden floor. The thing was pure black, crawling on four claws, and had a long black tail...

"Ghost! Ah!!!" Who can hold back from making a sound? Shao Yunxi was so frightened that her soul left her body. She froze in place and dared not move. She could only scream in despair.

Not wanting to be watched by his parents all day, Shen Mingxu had lived alone when he was still studying. He had many houses in Nandu, but he liked the environment and layout here the most. There had never been a woman living in the house. She had just been here for a day, and the terrified scream scared Shen Mingxu.

Was she scared by her own legs?

Did it take her so long to scream?

Not only did she scream, but Shen Mingxu heard a plop, steadied himself and looked back. Yunxi was actually sitting on the ground. It seemed that she had just fallen.

"Hey? What's wrong with you?" He could do it with a cold face towards her, but Shen Mingxu couldn't do it if he really didn't care. He hurriedly clenched his elbow crutch in his hand and strode towards the person who fell on the ground.

Frightened by the reptile species of the black dragon or the black ghost, Yunxi wanted to run but her legs were completely unable to move, and she fell to the ground with a thump.

Without having time to touch her sore butt, Yunxi saw a man walking quickly towards her on a pair of crutches. He was tall and had long legs, and with the support of a pair of crutches, he took big steps. The weakness of his left leg was magnified, and it was obvious that he was being dragged along, and he couldn't move at all.

Holding the crutch, he tried to look down at her face, and there was more uncertainty in his voice, "Falling? Can you still move? Don't move, I'll call an ambulance."

She was looking at his legs and was about to answer that it was not necessary, but the black ghost actually crawled over. Yunxi's voice immediately became shrill and excited again, "That ghost...ah...ah..."

It turned out to be because of it.

Shen Mingxu's ears hurt from her screaming, and he had no choice but to try to lower his head, loosen his right crutch hanging on his wrist, put his hand on her shoulder, and patted her gently as a way of coaxing, "It's not a ghost, don't be afraid, it's bread."

"Bread?" She looked at him like a madman, and her fear was slightly reduced because of his touch and the black ghost gradually crawling away.

"Yes, his name is Bread, but if you call it, it may not react." With his fingers, he brushed away the fine hair on her face. Shen Mingxu could see that his reptile really scared her, and he deliberately spoke to her gently, trying to comfort her.

"Then, it's not a ghost?" It took Yunxi a few seconds to finally understand that Bread was the name of the ghost. She still couldn't accept that the existence of such a ghost in this family was a deliberate arrangement rather than an accident.

Seeing that her complexion gradually improved a little, but her chest was still obviously heaving because of excitement, Shen Mingxu straightened up with his elbow crutches and continued to explain, "It's a lizard... a lizard."

"Is it your pet? You raised it?" She controlled herself not to blame him. She had complained in her heart a thousand times. She had heard that some people liked to raise reptiles, but she didn't know there were reptiles with such a big head, and she didn't expect Shen Mingxu to have such a hobby.

"Yes, I went to feed the pets this morning, but the door was not closed properly, so it came out. I will pay attention next time. Wait for me to change my clothes, and I will take you to the hospital for a check-up." It was his fault that he scared her. Shen Mingxu knew that not everyone would accept or even like his reptiles. He was too tired yesterday and forgot to tell her.

"I'm fine, no need to go to the hospital." Yunxi just fell on her butt. She knew she was fine and kept shaking her head in response to his worry.

"There are a few small ones in the pet tank. You don't have to clean that room. If you are scared, just don't go in. They won't come out again." Shen Mingxu's slender fingers tightened and tightened around his elbow crutch. He still didn't reach out to help Yunxi. He needed support to stand by himself. Seeing that she was really fine, he didn't force himself to bend down to help her.

Yunxi nodded to show that she understood, even though she was unhappy. She covered her sore butt and slowly stood up. She saw Shen Mingxu on the other side leaning on his elbow crutch, bending his body and swinging his legs to drive the "black ghost" back to the room she thought was the laundry room. Her heart was finally at ease.

"Mr. Shen, I'll make breakfast for you, wait a moment." Feeling relieved, Yunxi hurried to work for the day.

She saw some thin hand-pulled pancakes in the refrigerator, and chopped green onions could be seen on the pancakes. She thought that they could be eaten after cutting them with oil.

Not long after, pancakes, steamed eggs with minced meat, hot milk, boiled corn, and a few steamed pumpkin glutinous rice pancakes were placed on the table.

Shen Mingxu, who had changed into long pants and held only a cane in his hand, came to the table and expressed his opinion before he sat down, "Only milk?" "

Yes, do you like porridge? I'll make some tomorrow morning." She always ate simply, but it seemed that this wealthy Mr. Shen was not like that.

He didn't say anything, sat down and picked up the chopsticks, thought about it and changed the knife and fork, cut a small piece of the rolled hand-pulled pancake to taste it first, and then pushed the plate away and refused to eat it.

The white and slender hands with delicate joints picked up the spoon, Shen Mingxu took a small bite of the steamed egg custard, and stopped eating.

The corn was divided into small pieces. He took the smallest piece, tasted it politely, and put it down again.

With the right corner of his lips raised, Shen Mingxu smiled helplessly at the table, "Please prepare some milk, porridge, coffee, and juice tomorrow. This cake is a frozen food, so try to use as little as possible. If you make it, remember to fry it with olive oil, and pair it with sterilized eggs, lettuce, bacon... I don't know the rest."

The egg custard was not steamed, and the corn was very hard. This was exactly the Shao Yunxi in his memory. She couldn't cook. He picked up his phone and ordered something. After ordering, he said he had ordered takeout and would eat it later.

In terms of cooking, Yunxi had no confidence, so he didn't dare to refute Shen Mingxu. He obediently removed the breakfast he didn't like, tidied the kitchen and waited for the meal to be delivered.

This restaurant was a breakfast restaurant in the community, and the delivery speed was amazingly fast. Yunxi set the breakfast lightly and asked the person sitting on the sofa to carefully look at the ingredients. Seeing him stand up with the help of the sofa armrest, she helped him pull out the dining chair, and the two sat at the table again and ate breakfast in silence.

Seeing that she was speechless and bullied, Shen Mingxu fixed his gaze on the white piano in the distance, then turned his gaze to Yunxi and asked her tentatively, "Yunxi, can you play the piano and dance?"

"No, I haven't learned it yet." She had no chance to learn these in seven years, and she had forgotten the past...
