Chapter 18 The hideous wound

"Check out." Nie Zeyuan walked to the cashier.

While scanning the goods, the cashier pretended to ask, "Hey, are there any injuries on your hands? How did the young man do it? He was so careless."

Seeing that the injury was on his hand, the staff relaxed their vigilance.

Nie Zeyuan lowered his eyes, spoke softly, and asked: "How much is it?"

The cashier's response was a few beats slow, and then he remembered: "Oh, twenty in total."

The boy's eyes were so indifferent that the cashier was stunned for a moment and thought he meant: It's none of your business, so just ignore it.

The cashier was secretly wary, as expected, children these days are not easy to mess with, they have such a bad temper.

But when he looked at him, he was hurt.

The cashier hurriedly made a sales pitch: "Hey young man, your wound is not bandaged properly, we still have band-aids here!"

Ignoring what the cashier said, Nie Zeyuan walked out of the convenience store carrying a plastic bag and walked along the roadside where cars were rushing. As he walked, Nie Zeyuan looked at his phone and opened WeChat, then he saw Jiang Mengzhu's message.

Type a few words from time to time.

Nie Zeyuan:【No.】

-

After waiting for a long time, no word came.

Jiang Mengzhu originally held the phone in great anticipation, but when he saw these two words, he felt as deflated as a balloon had been popped.

Really, too much.

Too much, too much, too much - didn't say it earlier.

The wind blew in from outside the car, and the corners of her eyes drooped. She called out to the driver, and then said, "Stop."

The driver looked at the road: "Little sister, we haven't arrived yet."

Jiang Mengzhu: "I'm not going, uncle. I'll just stay here. I just want to go for a walk and relax."

After stopping the car, the driver said hello, "No matter how bad you feel, remember to pay attention to your safety, little girl. If you don't go home this late at night, be careful of bad guys."

"Okay." He thanked the driver very much. Jiang Mengzhu smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."

The taxi drove away quickly.

Jiang Mengzhu looked behind her and saw a park. She remembered what the driver just said, pay attention to safety, so she didn't go in and walked slowly along the roadside.

As I walked, I came to a traffic light intersection.

Jiang Mengzhu waited for the green light to turn on.

At the zebra crossing and traffic lights, Jiang Mengzhu turned around and realized that he had been walking for a long time. Unknowingly, he had arrived near Nie Zeyuan's community.

She knew where Nie Zeyuan lived. When she went to the office last time, she happened to see the student's home phone number and address information on the desk of the second class teacher.

It's around here.

She still remembered that the name, phone number and address in the last column clearly said No. 533, Hucheng South Street Avenue.

Sure enough, Jiang Mengzhu looked up and saw the residential building in their community opposite.

The big blue sign says: No. 533.

Eh?

If we go there, will we meet?

In the distance, Jiang Mengzhu passed the traffic light at the zebra crossing, and as she was walking, she suddenly saw a figure, and her heart skipped a beat.

-

When he reached a place with seats, Nie Zeyuan held the rice ball in one hand, took it to his mouth and tore it open with his teeth. He took out his cell phone with the other hand, and the phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and frowned, and didn't answer it for a while.

A few seconds passed.

Answered, "Hello?"

"Nie Zeyuan..."

"Um?"

Let me make it clear first that I didn’t follow you here. I just happened to bump into you and followed your back. You looked up... After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Mengzhu still didn’t dare to say this. Even so, she passed it from the beginning.

I found it from the address on the desk of the second class teacher, so it doesn't count as a chance encounter.

There was suddenly no sound over there. Nie Zeyuan looked at the screen of his mobile phone. He was still on the call and said, "What's wrong?"

"Jiang Mengzhu?"

What else happened?

But he didn't ask this question.

The young man's voice was cold, soft, and obviously hoarse because he had been doing the questions all night. Maybe her complaint had an effect, so Nie Zeyuan didn't ask.

Listening to his voice, Jiang Mengzhu suddenly realized at this moment what he was going to ask. He should be asking her what else happened, right?

It seems that he will take what he said to heart.

So she buckled the phone case, took a deep breath and said boldly: "You raise your head?"

Nie Zeyuan turned his head and saw not far away, Jiang Mengzhu, wearing a small white skirt, nervously holding her cell phone, and Tingting standing.

Nie Zeyuan put down his phone and frowned.

Jiang Mengzhu curled her lips and smiled at him.

His face was expressionless as he watched the girl in a white skirt jumping and running towards him.

A few seconds later, Nie Zeyuan pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows indifferently, and asked, "How do you know where I live?"

Jiang Mengzhu still liked to tell the truth. She said, "It was written in your class's address book. I happened to see it that day, so I came here to find it."

"What's wrong? It can't work?"

As she spoke, she looked him up and down, ignoring the repulsion emanating from his body, and Jiang Mengzhu sat directly next to him.

Anyway, she didn't do this once or twice.

It's okay, don't be afraid.

He didn't dare do anything to her.

Besides, Jiang Mengzhu didn't believe that he would really never like her.

Thinking this way, it felt much better to tell the truth. After cheering himself up, Jiang Mengzhu raised his head again, looked at him, and noticed what he had on hand.

Pulling the edge of his plastic bag, Jiang Mengzhu looked inside. Unexpectedly, there was only a bottle of drink and an unsealed rice ball inside.

"That's all you eat?" Jiang Mengzhu opened her mouth wide, a little surprised.

Nie Zeyuan was silent for a moment, glanced at her, and said hum.

No, how can you eat enough with such a small amount? Moreover, fast food is not nutritious. Jiang Mengzhu usually orders a plate for late-night snacks, although he may not finish it.

"Oh no, what's wrong with your hand?!" Nie Zeyuan was stunned. Before Nie Zeyuan could take the bag out of her hand, Jiang Mengzhu frowned and took the initiative to let go of his hand, replaced by her warm little hand.

He grabbed Nie Zeyuan's wrist, opened his palm, and brought his face very close.

"..." Nie Zeyuan's cold hands seemed to be able to feel the warm breath exhaled from her nose.

The tail finger moved.

He said: "It's okay."

"You call this okay?"

Jiang Mengzhu was timid by nature. Seeing such a hideous wound adhering to the tissue made his heart twitch. He didn't know why, but he just felt uncomfortable.

She really didn't understand, "No, why can't you just wrap it up with a tissue when you're injured? You don't handle it properly, you see, it's all stuck together."

Since arriving in Hucheng, few people have cared about him.

Nie Zeyuan lowered his eyes and moved.

Nie Zeyuan wanted to say it was okay, but his words were blocked in his throat.

The girl seemed to be crying? He lowered his eyes to see if he had seen it wrong.

Jiang Mengzhu's eyes turned red.

I don't know whether it's because all the worries are piled up, or because her aunt is coming soon, but Jiang Mengzhu is in a particularly bad mood today.

Jiang Jiang's matter, and Li Mingzhu's matter.

For some reason, Jiang Mengzhu felt even sadder when she saw him in such miserable condition. But when did she become so sentimental and crybaby? It's really strange.

Crying and laughing again.
