Chapter 22: Like a dying cat
After Sha Zhen inadvertently soiled Diao Han's clothes in the gazebo that day, she said that if someone bullies her in the future, she can have him to support her.
But such a naΓ―ve and ridiculous thing can still happen to junior high school students, no matter how you think about it, Sha Zhen doesn't take this sentence seriously at all.
She went to and from school on time as usual, but the most obvious thing was that the people around her did not talk behind her back as before, and even some classmates took the initiative to greet her, which made Sha Zhen feel a little unaccustomed, but vaguely, she could also feel that this was Diao Han's deterrent effect.
This bastard thing is still the starting point, at least the level of peace of mind learning has increased.
From that day on, Diao Han always waited for her near the special training class, and had dinner with her at noon, Sha Zhen refused many times, but in the end it was a result, and he spent noon time with him.
Slowly, Sha Zhen gradually got used to such days, after all, Diao Han didn't do anything excessive, just accompanied him for a lunch break. He said that if the diet keeps up, he will no longer have a big and numb face, and Sha Zhen also understands this truth, but because of family conditions, the diet has not been able to keep up.
She found that Diao Han is actually not so difficult to get along with, as long as she obediently follows him, there will be no trouble, and Diao Han also found that protecting this ugly girl is actually not so annoying, her skin is gradually getting better, and she is slowly recovering, more like the ragdoll cat.
From hating him to changing her impression of him, Sha Zhen felt that this was a very magical process, no classmates were talking about her behind her back, and no one was saying bad things about her mother at school.
Since the family is backward, my mother has become very busy, and the time to go home is getting less and less, and the children of relatives are also slowly not in touch with themselves under the admonition of their parents, and this kind of life has lasted for nearly three years, Shazhen has almost become accustomed to such days, and she doesn't even feel lonely, because she has to study and take care of her family.
In the busy study and housework, Diao Han's domineering intrusion can be regarded as making Sha Zhen always have someone by her side to accompany her, at least in the eyes of outsiders, she is not lonely.
Sha Zhen doesn't like to owe others, so she used the lunch break to tell Diao Han about the content of the test questions, and she found that Diao Han was really smart, but he spent more time playing. Although after a few days, Sha Zhen still occasionally heard someone talking about something behind her, but it was just that some girls who had a crush on Diao Han were not satisfied, and they didn't dare to make big moves.
"You... Why do you want to do this?" Sha Zhen looked at Diao Han curiously, not understanding why she took such care of herself these days.
Diao Han leaned against a tree next to the stone table, squinted his eyes, looked at the leaves on the tree that were lazily drooping by the sun, and said,
"It's okay to be idle...", then turned his head and looked at Sha Zhen who continued to read and study on the stone table, he found that these days, Sha Zhen's skin has gradually returned to normal, even like the kind of white and transparent skin as advertised...
It's not as scary as it used to be anyway.
He found that in addition to protecting her, watching her skin condition get better a little bit better than before, it was like raising a pot of dying flowers, taking care of it every day, being kind to it, and then the flowers would come back to life, and then they would thrive and bloom with unexpected beauty.
He couldn't explain this kind of emotion himself.
"You give me good homework, and I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you during your time at school. β
Sha Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Diao Han under the tree, he crossed his arms behind his head, enjoying the lunch break comfortably, his smile seemed to be designed by God, no wonder there were so many girls in the school who liked him, and no wonder those girls were talking about themselves in private.
Are they jealous of themselves?
Oh my God, what are you thinking?
Thinking of this, Sha Zhen felt that this was incredible, she touched the next cheek with her hand, and then quickly used the iced tea bottle on the side to cool it.
Whether or not he is sure which girls are jealous of him, Sha Zhen does think that Diao Han is good-looking, really good-looking, and sometimes he also feels that he is happy to be with him. Although Sha Zhen herself is unwilling to admit this small emotion, the shyness from the bottom of her heart cannot be ignored.
Hearing Diao Han say this, Sha Zhen's face turned slightly red.
β¦
Usually at noon, they study at the stone table and eat together, if it rains, Diao Han will go to Sha Zhen's special training class, anyway, it's lunch break, and no one will say anything. And the boy who was at the same table with Sha Zhen, when he saw Diao Han coming to study at noon, he could only go to the side silently, not to mention Sha Zhen's table in the special training class, even the students in the school didn't dare to say a word, after all, people are just for learning, pure learning.
At noon that day, Diao Han went directly to the special training class without waiting for Sha Zhen, but saw Sha Zhen lying motionless on the desk like a dying cat.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Wake up. Diao Han wondered, obviously Sha Zhen seemed to be in a much better state these days than before. He looked around, the classmates in the class had gone out for a lunch break, who was still holding it here, Diao Han found that Sha Zhen's face was in a cold sweat, and his eyes were closed, although he didn't understand medical treatment, but he also knew some basic common sense, if he could do this, he must be not lightly ill.
When the school doctor came, he suggested that the person be taken to the hospital...
When Shazhen woke up, she was greeted by the white walls and ceiling, the faint smell of disinfectant water between her nose, and the warm potted plants on the windowsill.
This place, so strange, what kind of place is this?
Sha Zhen moved her hand and found that what was fixed on the back of her hand was an infusion needle, and when she looked up along the infusion tube, there was an oversized infusion bag hanging on the shelf, and the liquid in it had been partially injected.
"You're awake. The gentle and anxious voice warmed Shazhen's heart, and she couldn't remember how long ago she heard such a beautiful voice.
Feeling her hand being held, Shazhen felt a sense of satisfaction that she was protected.
"Mom, why are you here, what's wrong with me?"
Sha's mother held her daughter's uninfused hand with both hands, her eyes were red, and her voice was hoarse after crying.
"You have acute appendicitis, and your school doctor contacted me..."Sha's mother said, tears fell again, and she put her face on her daughter's hand, choking,
"It's all to blame for my mother's bad and didn't take good care of you. β
"Mom... Don't cry..."Sha Zhen couldn't see that her mother was sad, so she used her other hand to help her wipe her tears, but she was held down by Sha's mother.
"Don't move, you have to get some rest. β
The mother and daughter chatted for a few words, and Sha Zhen suddenly remembered a question,
"Mom, who sent me here?"
"The school doctor told me that it was a child named Diao Han who found you unwell..."
