at last.
The dishes are washed.
Placed crookedly next to the sink...
Su Zao looked at the pile of bowls that were not pleasing to the eye, scratched his head hard, and thought hard about how to arrange them to make them look better.
The rain outside gradually stopped.
The chirping of sparrows came from the branches and through the unclosed windows, noisy to Su Zao's somewhat swollen head from time to time.
Heavy footsteps sounded in the old corridor.
It gradually became clear in Su Zao's ears, and then stopped in front of the gate...
"Su Zao, open the door for me."
Chen Yaxuan forgot to bring her key, so she had to stand at the door and shout.
"Sister, I'm here!"
After running around for a while, Su Zao opened the door and saw Chen Yaxuan who was soaked in the rain.
The latter held thirty yuan that was crumpled in his hand, and walked into this small home, sighing in despair...
"I'm so annoyed by that stingy boss. I ran errands for him for a long time in the rain, but in the end he only gave me thirty yuan."
"Besides, it's a rainy day. I don't know which unscrupulous guy blocked the sewer entrance with garbage. The roads outside are flooded and you can't see anything."
"I accidentally fell to the ground. It hurt me to death. I didn't even tell you that the money was soaked in water..."
"I don't know if it can still be used...it's really annoying! You should not go out today, it's not an auspicious day!"
Chen Yaxuan kept complaining.
After taking off her raincoat and putting it on the shoe cabinet, she got herself a pair of pink slippers, rubbed her wet hair and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
However, when she was about to leave, she looked at Su Zao's hand and froze.
"Su Zao, what's wrong with your hand?"
"Oh, sister, didn't you go out to make money? I thought I had nothing to do at home, so I helped you wash the dishes..."
Su Zao showed his big white teeth, like a child waiting to be praised.
"Washed?" Chen Yaxuan, who was full of doubts, walked towards the kitchen curiously.
When she saw those bowls that were arranged crookedly and even the foam was not clean, she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart for a moment...
As long as there is no problem with IQ.
It was basically a no-brainer to understand that Su Zao had been scalded by hot water...
"Give me your hand."
Chen Yaxuan gritted her teeth and shouted to Su Zao.
She didn't expect this guy to be so disturbing.
"Ah?" Before Su Zao could react, Chen Yaxuan had already pulled his hand away and looked down carefully.
The originally fair and slender palms were not only burned like roasted pig's trotters, but also had some small blisters on them, the kind that could release water with a gentle squeeze.
"How do you feel? Does it hurt?"
Chen Yaxuan asked without raising her head.
"Um."
Su Zao responded softly.
He seemed to know that he had messed up the matter, otherwise his sister would not be like this.
All he wants now is not to be blamed.
Or like when I was a kid, I would be caught and spanked by my mother if I did something wrong...
"I wonder if you dare to mess around again!"
Chen Yaxuan pretended to be angry and hit Su Zao on the head, but she didn't use much force, just to scare the guy.
"Sister, why are you knocking me..."
Su Zao was a little aggrieved.
But he didn't dare to say anything to refute.
Chen Yaxuan did not answer his question, but put on the raincoat she had just taken off and carefully put the thirty yuan soaked in water into her pocket.
He was soaked by the rain.
Putting on a raincoat again would be particularly uncomfortable.
Chen Yaxuan never thought that one day she would have to suffer such a crime, enduring things that she shouldn't have to endure for a man with low intelligence.
"Sister, do you want to...?"
Looking at Chen Yaxuan putting on her raincoat again.
Su Zao couldn't help but look a little panicked.
He subconsciously thought that he had done something wrong, and then Chen Yaxuan became angry and wanted to leave.
"Why are you so stunned? Pack up quickly and let's go to the hospital."
Chen Yaxuan rolled her eyes at Su Zao...
…
…
A trip to the hospital can be a hassle.
That kind of place is not as simple as sitting down at a clinic, prescribing some medicine and giving it an injection.
It only costs a few dollars to register.
It already made Chen Yaxuan feel heartbroken...
This money is real "hard-earned money", the money she earned from running around looking at other people's faces when she was so tired.
Su has never been to the hospital before.
He smelled the pungent smell of medicine in the hospital and sat on the white corridor seat, silently dazed.
Looking curiously at the sick people passing by him...
Occasionally a few young girls walked by.
Her eyes would linger on him for a moment longer.
Maybe being good-looking is a privilege...
However, when Chen Yaxuan came back to register for an account, she saw several girls surrounding Su Zao asking for their contact information, but Su Zao looked at a loss.
I saw Chen Yaxuan coming back.
Only now did Su seem to see his savior...
"Sister, they asked me for my phone number. I don't have one. Why don't I keep yours?"
The other girls who originally thought it was Su Zao's girlfriend who came here felt a little better after hearing Su Zao's words.
With loud voices like little girls, they all called Chen Yaxuan "sister" affectionately.
"Sister, your brother is so handsome. We want to make friends with him."
"Yeah, yeah, he doesn't have a girlfriend, right?"
"Your brother is quite good at joking. He just said that he has never used a mobile phone..."
"..."
Chen Yaxuan had a dark look on her face.
She was just what Su Zao called her sister.
For some reason, she felt very unhappy when faced with these guys trying to thwart Su Zao's ideas.
It's like something that belongs to you has been robbed...
So she sent these people away without any good temper.
"What are you doing! What are you dragging?"
"Yeah, if you don't give it, you won't give it! Who the hell cares!"
"It's like a baby. We were just joking and taking it seriously..."
They didn't say a few nice things out of their mouths, and basically left with curses.
Su Zao, who didn't understand this kind of thing, naturally didn't understand.
He just knew that these people seemed to be talking about Chen Yaxuan...
The handsome brows were furrowed tightly.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about them, let's go sit over there, otherwise you won't even know they're howling in a while."
Chen Yaxuan didn't want to cause trouble.
She didn't forget that she was here to take Su Zao to see her burns.
Rather than having conflicts with other people, what she currently has to deal with is the medical bills that are likely to be expensive for her...
"Yeah." Su Zao was obedient.
Seeing that his sister didn't care, he didn't want to say anything.
He tilted his head, made an obvious look of contempt for those little girls, and followed Chen Yaxuan to the other side.
After taking Su Zao aside.
Chen Yaxuan also warned her and went to the side to take out her mobile phone and search for contacts...
She used to have a lot of fun in school.
The address book is naturally indispensable.
Either the ones marked as "Second Brother", or the series of friends marked as "Rat" or "Fat Man"...
only.
After scrolling down the address book.
She also didn't find a suitable person to whom she could lend money...
A trip to a major hospital usually costs a few hundred yuan.
Who among her friends who only want to go out to play every day could afford such a small amount of money to pick her up?
Instead, during this time outside of school.
She also always receives messages like "Lend me ten yuan to eat fried rice"...
In the end, it seemed that only the "Lin Zhigao" who always annoyed him could help a little.
"Are you looking for him?"
Chen Yaxuan bit her fingers lightly.
To be honest, she didn't want to have much contact with this man at all, but it seemed that she had no other choice but to find him at the moment.
At this time, it was Su Zao's turn to see the doctor.
She didn't have much time to delay.
Hesitate for a moment...
Chen Yaxuan still chose to send him a message.
Chen Yaxuan felt a little better when she comforted herself with the words that Lin Zhigao still had a few hundred dollars left to pay.
"Can you pay me back? I've encountered something these days and I have no money."
Shortly after.
Lin Zhigao replied.
"Okay, but you have to go back to study."
"Whether I study or not has nothing to do with you paying back the money?" Chen Yaxuan felt a little angry. It was natural to pay back debts. How could this have anything to do with other things?
"I'm doing this for your own good, but you don't understand... Anyway, I will pay back the money. As long as you go to study, I will pay it back to you."
Lin Zhigao continued to speak so righteously.
He didn't realize at all that there was something wrong with his three views.
He seems to be on a moral high ground.
In a teaching tone like an adult, he gave Chen Yaxuan a lot of advice...
"By the way, I heard someone say you were with a boy a few days ago."
"Could it be the homeless man I saw before?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but then I thought about it and it seemed possible given your temperament."
"So let me tell you, if so, you must stay away from him and make less friends with this kind of people. You see that you are so young and have become a homeless person. He is definitely thinking of lying to you when he plays with you. .....”
Chen Yaxuan felt that her anger could no longer be suppressed.
if it is possible.
She even wanted to crawl directly along the net and beat Lin Zhigao.
Who is this person?
I owe money and I don’t want to pay it back.
And he pulled out a lot of stuff and taught himself a lesson?
She, Chen Yaxuan, couldn't stand this anger.
Directly block and delete Lin Zhigao...
only.
Thus.
She seems to have really cut off her last avenue...
Su Zao's number was called on the announcer.
Chen Yaxuan, who hadn't borrowed the money yet, had no choice but to accompany Su Zao to take a look.
As expected.
The medicine prescribed for a burn would cost more than 200 yuan in total, which she couldn't afford at all.
At this moment.
Chen Yaxuan also deeply regretted why she spent money so lavishly and uncontrollably in the past. When it came time to use the money, she couldn't get it out...
Still letting Su Zao sit on the chair and wait.
Chen Yaxuan took the prescription form and ran to the side to continue thinking of a solution.
finally.
She was completely shameless.
I sent a loan message to everyone in my contacts, whether I was familiar with him or not.
Perhaps there is one last bit of popularity left.
In the end, those so-called friends scraped together everything from one to two yuan, twenty to thirty yuan to pay for the medicine...
After prescribing the medicine, Chen Yaxuan only had about 70 yuan left.
It started to rain again outside.
Chen Yaxuan, who had no knowledge of pharmacology, was worried that Su Zao's hand injury would be infected by the rain, so she bit the bullet and spent ten yuan to take a taxi back...
She doesn't blame Su Zao.
But the burns caused by washing dishes really tortured her.
Night gradually falls...
Burns are often uncomfortable when sleeping at night.
The lubricant actually had little effect on relieving Su Zao's pain.
He still felt that his hands were burning and he couldn't get a good night's sleep at all.
Chen Yaxuan felt that Su Zao was a little pitiful.
Unprecedented choice to let this guy sleep in his bed...
Anyway, the bed is not exaggeratedly small.
She thought there shouldn't be much of a problem.
However, in the middle of the night, Su Zao, who was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep, tossed and turned in bed, causing a creaking sound from the bed board that really made Chen Yaxuan unable to sleep.
Think about it.
Chen Yaxuan found a glass cup in the refrigerator and asked Su Zao to sleep with it in her arms. The cold thing should reduce some of the burning sensation...
Think about it again.
Chen Yaxuan told Su Zao to hug him well and not to smash it on the ground, otherwise it would easily hurt someone if it was not cleaned up.
But what I didn't expect was.
Because Su Zao was afraid of breaking the cup, he turned around and slept facing Chen Yaxuan, which made Chen Yaxuan even more unable to sleep...
joke.
She is in her youthful age.
How could he fall asleep so easily now that there was a handsome boy staring at him lying next to him?
"Su Zao...can you turn around?"
Chen Yaxuan lay flat on the bed, feeling that this was too awkward.
Although she is a little girl.
But until now, I haven’t even held hands. What’s this thing now?
But Su Zao didn't think anything of it.
After all, he had slept in the same bed with his mother before, and he had never thought about it...nor would he have thought about what Chen Yaxuan was thinking.
"Sister, if I turn around, I'm afraid that I might accidentally fall asleep without holding the cup firmly," Su Zao explained.
"Well, then...okay."
Chen Yaxuan's mind was constantly struggling with thoughts.
In the end, he said nothing.
Bearing Su Zao staring at her...
"..."
"Sister, can you turn around?"
However, she didn't expect that Su Zao actually asked her to turn around and sleep face to face.
"Turn around? Why?"
Chen Yaxuan understood that Su Zao had some intellectual problems, and it was difficult to say anything about the difference between men and women at the moment.
And she felt that the other party might not understand either.
"I feel a little safer with the two of us looking at each other."
"I haven't slept with anyone in a long time..."
Chen Yaxuan didn't understand the last sentence.
But Su Zao's tone did seem extremely pitiful.
That’s the kind of thing that listens to.
I can't help but feel sympathy...
This time Chen Yaxuan hesitated for ten minutes.
Only after hypnotizing herself with "I am a sister" over and over again did she turn around stiffly.
she thought.
This is the first and last time.
Just treat it as a small condition that Su Zaoshou agreed to because he was burned because he was washing the dishes...
And at close range.
The two of them were lying on the bed facing each other.
Chen Yaxuan could even see Su Zao's eyelashes trembling clearly...
The handsome face of the young man was reflected in her field of vision, and the branches and leaves outside the house were rustling in the wind.
She was even more confused.
It was like something was banging on my chest, stimulating the nerves in my brain.
unconsciously.
My face was slowly turning red in the dark night where I could not see clearly...
suddenly.
Su Zao opened his eyes.
He looked seriously into Chen Yaxuan's eyes.
As if thinking about something, his eyes moved up and down.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chen Yaxuan asked.
The hot breath he exhaled gently hit Su Zao's face.
Su Zao smiled lightly.
There was a bit of shyness and embarrassment in the smile.
"Sister, I think you are a bit pretty."
"I can……"
"Kiss you?"
