The brightness between the eyebrows, the smile at the corner of the mouth, the brightness on the face... disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She slowly lowered her eyes.
The hand holding the peanut candy bag tightened a bit.
The girl changed back to the look Xiao Xiao saw when she came over just now.
Depressed and gloomy.
...
"Huanhuan."
Xiao Xiao's voice was low and soft, "I thought..."
"The reason you called me...is that you want to find someone to talk to."
"Isn't it?"
"Or...I misunderstood?"
The girl pursed her lips.
He shook his head slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Big brother did not misunderstand.
She really wanted to find someone to talk to.
But......
She couldn't speak.
That kind of myself...
Make her feel terrible.
...
Girls subconsciously want to hide that kind of self.
Don't want anyone to know.
Don't want to be...disliked.
...
"Because of Dong Le?"
Xiao Xiao asked with some understanding.
...
The girl suddenly raised her head.
His wide eyes were full of surprise.
How does the elder brother know?
"Have you forgotten what you told me last time?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The girl suddenly realized.
Yes.
She has told her elder brother some things between her and her sister.
It's not surprising that the elder brother guessed the reason.
...
"What happened this time?"
Xiao Xiao is very direct.
The procrastination made the girl more immersed in her own world.
...
"Big brother......"
The girl pursed her lips.
"Before, I, Lele, went shopping with my classmates."
"Because of my abnormal mood during this period, I deliberately stayed away from Lele."
"result......"
The girl took a deep breath.
"I... stayed away from Lele... and others stayed away from me."
"They were chatting and laughing in front."
"I followed alone."
The girl squeezed the hand hanging by her side, "We obviously went shopping together..."
"In the end I was the only one left behind."
"I just found......"
"Those people are Lele's friends."
"......not mine."
The girl's mouth curved into a slightly self-deprecating arc.
There was a hint of choking in his voice.
"While crossing the road, I was hit by the tire of a scooter."
"None of them noticed."
"Let's talk and laugh in front."
"Myself......"
She didn't know what to do either.
He just glanced at the man riding the electric scooter, then turned back and followed the people in front of him.
...
"Are you okay?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the girl's feet.
The girl wore a long gauze skirt that almost reached her ankles.
It is a matcha green that is very suitable for summer.
...
The girl's eyes warmed up.
She blinked hurriedly.
My vision is still a little blurry.
She tried to keep her eyes open, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
However, something still flowed from the corner of his eye.
She was embarrassed and panicked.
He reached out and covered his eyes.
So embarrassing.
The girl wanted to cry more and more.
...
"Does it hurt?"
Xiao Xiao's gentle voice came.
The girl was stunned for a while.
He was careful and secretly looked at Xiao Xiao like a timid rabbit.
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows showed a touch of concern.
There was nothing unusual about his expression.
The girl's rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down.
She wiped her face randomly a few times.
Wipe the tear stains off your face.
Then, she nodded.
"I......"
The hoarse voice startled the girl, and she hurriedly coughed a few times.
"Cough cough~ cough cough~"
"I...cough...I found out later..."
"The place where my calf was hit was completely black."
"It should be stains on the tires."
"It hurts a little when you press it."
"The skin is not broken, but..."
"It's green."
"very ugly."
The girl looked down at her feet.
"I don't want to be seen."
"I don't want them to know either."
"I... don't want to make myself look so unlucky."
"Fortunately, the skirt I wore today is longer."
"I pulled my skirt down a little."
"It can block that dirty mark."
...
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao took another look at the girl's long skirt.
No wonder he didn't notice the girl's wounds.
only......
"Is it really okay?"
"Is it convenient for me to take a look?"
"never mind."
After all, the girl was wearing a skirt, so it was inconvenient for him to see, "I'll take you to the doctor-"
"Need not!"
The girl waved her hands hastily.
"It's really okay."
"It doesn't affect walking either."
"There's no pain."
"It only hurts a little bit when I press it up."
"It will be fine after a while when the black spots subside."
Seeing that Xiao Xiao remained silent, the girl lifted her skirt slightly.
My feet worked hard to twist my calves forward.
"look."
"fine."
...
Xiao Xiao frowned slightly.
It quickly stretched again.
"There is a pharmacy nearby."
"wait for me a while."
Before the girl could say anything, Xiao Xiao had already moved away quickly.
The girl slowly closed her open mouth.
...
Xiao Xiao came back soon.
The girl couldn't help but think that the pharmacy was really close.
...
Xiao Xiao helped the girl simply remove the bruise on her calf.
That is to say, spray a spray that activates blood circulation and removes blood stasis.
Then he handed the bag from the pharmacy to the girl and said, "Remember to take the medicine yourself when you go home."
"Um."
Ever since Xiao Xiao treated her wounds, the girl has been exceptionally quiet and well-behaved.
"I see."
"...Thank you, big brother."
The girl hesitated for a while before saying thank you.
But his eyes were drooping and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Xiao.
...
"You helped me a lot..."
The girl suddenly felt a little emotional.
"Big brother, you..."
The girl almost said the next words in her mouth.
Extremely light.
Xiao Xiao heard it clearly.
He smiled.
"Maybe I really am your patron saint."
"ah?"
The girl's pale cheeks suddenly turned red as Xiao Xiao actually heard what she said.
She was a little at a loss.
So...Zhong Er's words were actually heard by someone, or was he the person involved?!
...
"Of course, I'm not as powerful as a real patron saint."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were slightly curved, "But it can still have some effect."
"Yes or no?"
Xiao Xiao blinked at the girl.
The girl couldn't help but curl up her lips.
"Brother, you have played many, many roles."
The girl looked serious, with a faint smile on her face.
"Really...really thank you."
...
The girl looked up at the dense canopy of trees above.
She is now sitting on an armchair outside a big tree.
The sunlight and the green leaves of the branches swayed slightly.
She raised her hand and put it on her forehead.
Eyes narrowed.
But there was no intention of avoiding it.
Instead, she let the sun fall on her eyelids.
...
She was very sad that she was injured and no one noticed.
At that time, she actually had the idea of leaving.
Anyway, no one really cares whether she stays or not.
...
However, she still hesitated.
What reason could you give for leaving her halfway like this?
...
When she saw the boy, she was vaguely glad that she stayed.
Even though the answer she overheard made her feel sad, but...
