Chapter 011: Wounded on the Street
"Why are you here?" said Jubeni, undisguised in surprise.
"Can you believe that it was a magical encounter?" Chen Xiaoxi looked at Zhu Beini with sparkling eyes.
"I have to believe it!"
"I don't believe it. Chen Xiaoxi continued.
"What did you say?"
"I'm convinced, too. Chen Xiaoxi smiled quietly.
"But how can it be so coincidental? Such a big Wuxi, impartial, happened to be in the same place? So long, not sooner or later, just at the same time?" turned a corner and escaped from the sight of her colleagues in the branch, and Zhu Beini relaxed. When I thought of meeting by chance in a different place, I couldn't help but sigh.
"yes. How could such a thing happen!" Chen Xiaoxi said.
"Huh?" Zhu Beini felt that she had misheard something.
"I said that this kind of miraculous thing actually happened. Chen Xiaoxi said without changing his face.
Zhu Beini quietly touched her ears.
"What are you doing in Wuxi?" asked Chen Xiaoxi.
"I'll comeβ" Chen Xiaoxi touched the back of his head. Why did you come here? I forgot to think about this question in a hurry. I just remember pinching my fingers at the time, I didn't see him for a week, I can't see him this week, and I still can't see him in the next two weeks...... Gather less and leave more, inexplicably panicked. I vaguely remember the name of Zhu Beini's company, and when I logged in to the company's official website, I saw the address of the Wuxi branch at a glance. I didn't even think about it, and here it is.
"Blind date?" Seeing that Chen Xiaoxi wanted to speak and stopped, and was a little shy, Zhu Beini suddenly realized! There was both joy in her tone that she guessed, and joy for Chen Xiaoxi's girlfriend.
Chen Xiaoxi bit his lip and closed his eyes: "Yes." β
"Have you already seen it?" Zhu Beini became excited, and the gossip was full of thoughts.
"Hmm. β
"Is it your favorite type?"
"Yes. No. Well, that's complicated. Chen Xiaoxi was a little incoherent. He looked at her, hesitating, weighing.
"Oh. I understand. She dragged out an "oh" with a smug look on her face.
"You understand?" Chen Xiaoxi was so happy that he couldn't help but be excited!
"You think it's not bad, but you don't dare to assert it, I hope to have more contact in the future and then make a conclusion. Isn't it?" Zhu Beini's smile bloomed, like a blooming flower.
"How can you be so smart? Chen Xiaoxi snorted and gritted his teeth.
Hearing Chen Xiaoxi say this, Zhu Beini clapped her palms happily.
"That's right. Are you going back to Shanghai?" Zhu Beini asked Chen Xiaoxi.
"You're not going back today?" Chen Xiaoxi was obviously a little surprised.
"yes. I'm going to inspect for two days. If it's fast, I'll be back tomorrow night, and if I don't want to be in a hurry, I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Anyway, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, so you don't have to go to work. Zhu Beini said.
Chen Xiaoxi was a little stunned for a while, thinking that they would go back to Shanghai together after the "chance meeting", but they didn't expect something else to happen.
"What time is your train?" and have dinner together if you can. Zhu Beini unexpectedly saw Chen Xiaoxi in a different place, and she was obviously very happy.
"Just in time. Because I haven't bought a train ticket for the return trip. Chen Xiaoxi thought about it for a while and thought about it. Since the opening is messy, let's let it continue to be messy. At worst, it is to maintain the status quo. After making up my mind in this way, I really reacted much faster.
"Shall we go eat local food?" said that when it came to eating special dishes, Zhu Beini's eyes lit up. The two of them walked towards the crowded place. The closer to dusk, the more people got up. Occasionally, someone squeezed from behind, squeezing Zhu Beini towards Chen Xiaoxi, or passing past Chen Xiaoxi. At first, Zhu Beini was still vigilantly looking behind or to the side, pushing around for a long time, and she didn't pay much attention.
It wasn't until after being hit once, there was a subtle pulling feeling, and she was stunned for a few seconds, that Zhu Beini reacted: "Bag! My bag was stolen!"
As soon as she shouted, someone suddenly ran up in front of her.
Chen Xiaoxi didn't say a word, he raised his legs and went to chase. Someone in the slow flow of people suddenly ran up, causing a commotion. The thief who ran in front encountered greater resistance, and a bold boy who saw the unevenness of the road came forward to intercept him, and Chen Xiaoxi quickly caught the thief who ran away. But the man was bare, with two hands.
Zhu Beini panted and followed. She wasn't sure if the person in front of her had stolen her bag.
"What did you run away from without stealing?" Zhu Beini pointed at him and stamped her foot.
"I saw someone stealing it, and I'm afraid you're a bad person. Of course I had to escape. The man looked innocent and spoke conclusively.
Seeing that Zhu Beini's face was a little loose, the person was about to leave, but was grabbed by Chen Xiaoxi: "Wait for me to call the police." β
"Big brother, why did you call the police! I didn't steal it!" the man hugged Chen Xiaoxi's hand holding the phone.
"Didn't you see someone stealing it? We don't have much money in our bags, and it's annoying to lose our documents. Of course, if you can help us find it, don't do anything else, otherwise you can only call the police. Chen Xiaoxi did not back down at all, and looked directly at the man.
"Okay. I saw the thief throw the bag in the garbage heap over there. β
"You lead the way!"
Several idlers who were watching the excitement also went along. Sure enough, at the garbage recycling station full of debris, I saw Zhu Beini's small bag, mixed in the garbage. Zhu Beini was about to pick it up, but was pulled by Chen Xiaoxi. He took a quick step himself and took her bag out of the garbage. Seeing that the bag was found, it was full of garbage, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
Chen Xiaoxi had just taken back the bag, and when he turned around, he saw that the person just now was about to slip away, taking three steps and making two steps, and grabbed the person who wanted to escape. The man turned around and looked fierce: "Is there an end?"
"Please wait for me to confirm if I have lost anything. β
"Idle nonsense!Who has time to wait for you!" The man shook Chen Xiaoxi's hand vigorously. couldn't shake it off, and suddenly a faint light flashed, and before Zhu Beini could see it clearly, she heard Chen Xiaoxi scream briefly. Chen Xiaoxi let go of his hand, and the man viciously dropped a sentence: "I'm unlucky today!" and quickly disappeared in the flow of people.
Zhu Beini looked back at Chen Xiaoxi again, and saw Chen Xiaoxi holding his arm with one hand, his arm was red, and his fingers were full of blood.
"You're bleeding!" Zhu Beini cried out, as if she was the one who was hurting, and she was the one who hurt.
"It doesn't matter. Chen Xiaoxi tried to reassure her. He reached out to confirm that it was only a skin wound. Unexpectedly, Zhu Beini's face became more and more pale, her breathing was short, her feet were weak, and her whole person staggered and was about to fall. Ignoring the wound on his arm, Chen Xiaoxi hugged her. With a single force, more blood flowed out of the wound, staining the white dress worn by Zhu Beini red. At first glance, it is even more terrifying.
There were enthusiastic people in the crowd who couldn't stand it, this one was a handkerchief, that one was a band-aid, and there was a girl who skillfully rinsed Chen Xiaoxi's arm with pure water. Fortunately, it was only a long cutaneous wound. Chen Xiaoxi hugged Zhu Beini, who put her head on her shoulder, and frequently said thank you to the person who helped him clean his wounds.
"It's a scratch from a blade, and there is no rust contamination on visual inspection, but you can't be careless, you need to find a doctor or disinfect it yourself with disinfectant. The bleeding stopped, but the arm could not be used for 24 hours to prevent the wound from tearing and cracking again. The girl took the band-aids handed to her by passers-by and carefully pasted them side by side. Whispered while sticking to it.
"Thank you. Chen Xiaoxi said.
The girl looked at him brightly: "Your girlfriend was already fainting with blood, and you still showed her her bloody hands!
It turned out that Zhu Beini was fainting blood. Chen Xiaoxi smiled relaxedly: "Girl Bingxue is smart. How do you know everything?"
"I'm a nurse. β
"Lucky will! Lucky will! Nurse Angel. β
Zhu Beini woke up slowly, and before she could look up, she first saw a red patch on her clothes, and then fainted again.
"Are you going to just stand and hold her?" the nurse girl tilted her head to look at Chen Xiaoxi.
"Wait a little longer, the blood will not be visible when it is dark. β
The nurse girl held her mobile phone in her hand, stood beside Chen Xiaoxi for a while, and said, "Then you just wait." Good bye. β
"Goodbye. Chen Xiaoxi nodded apologetically. The girl kept her phone and kept it, not hoping that he would ask her for her contact information, and he didn't know. It's just that if you have a penchant, why bother with extraneous branches. His silence, the other party must understand, that's why "goodbye" is said so neatly.
Chen Xiaoxi didn't know how long he had been standing, and his hand on the watch kept hugging Zhu Beini hard, a little numb. There was a crowd of people around me, and I don't know how many faces I had walked by. Chen Xiaoxi stood there patiently and with perseverance, supporting Zhu Beini, whose legs were weak. Slightly, Chen Xiaoxi felt Zhu Beini's head moving.
"Are you awake? Close your eyes. Don't look. Chen Xiaoxi whispered to Zhu Beini on her shoulder.
"Huh?"
"You're bleeding. Close your eyes. β
"What's wrong with your wound?" Zhu Beini suddenly remembered Chen Xiaoxi's wound and asked nervously.
"The bleeding has stopped. The wound doesn't matter. Can you stand?"
Zhu Beini's face turned red, only to realize that she was all leaning on Chen Xiaoxi's arms. Fortunately, I closed my eyes in advance, otherwise it would be so embarrassing to look at each other at this time. She hurriedly pushed, took a step back, and stood one step away.
"Alright. Don't move. It's full of people. You wait for me, help you. Chen Xiaoxi's words were intermittent. I stood too hard for too long, and when I changed my position, I found that my arms and legs were already numb. Moved slightly, it hurt like a pinprick in a pin. The arms, in particular, almost lost sensation. Chen Xiaoxi endured the numbness and carefully moved his legs, feet, and arms.
"Can I open my eyes?"
"If you're not afraid of fainting, you just keep it open. Chen Xiaoxi's words effectively stopped Zhu Beini.
"What are you doing? aren't you trying to help me go?"
"Tie your shoes. β
"Is it tied? Why is it so long?"
"Wait a little longer. β
Zhu Beini covered her eyes with both hands, opened a trace of her fingers, and looked out cautiously. It didn't matter at first glance, Chen Xiaoxi was staring at himself with a smile.
"You're a liar! You don't have your shoes tied at all. β
"Just fastened. Let's go. Chen Xiaoxi laughed out loud. "Don't look up, just look ahead. You can open your eyes. β
Zhu Beini put down her hand and opened her eyes, and the sky was already a few degrees darker. I didn't eat the salivating specialty, and after such an accident, Zhu Beini didn't know if her weakness was because she didn't eat or because she had encountered bad luck.
"Now we need to go buy clean clothes first, so that some squeamish lady doesn't faint once and for all. Chen Xiaoxi said with a smile, as if his mood was not affected at all.
"Where's the rice?" Zhu Beini still remembered the local specialties.
"Buy it and go to dinner. β
There are no special clothing stores in this kind of commercial area, they are all youth mass brands. Zhu Beini reluctantly picked a skirt, but Chen Xiaoxi didn't have to worry about it, even if she chose the number, she chose the clothes, simple jeans and a white T-shirt.
It's a little embarrassing to buy good clothes. The clothing store has been being renovated recently, and the fitting room is not working.
"To McDonald's?"
"No, I can't. In case you faint again, it is inconvenient for me to go to the women's bathroom. β
"What should I do then?" Zhu Beini held her head high and looked at Chen Xiaoxi.
"I have a solution. It's just that when the time comes, you don't say anything. β
"What's the solution?"
"Just follow me. β
