23. Warm back
In the afternoon, the sun hid in the thick clouds, and with the whistling north wind, the temperature dropped sharply, and by the evening, it was drizzling.
The winter rain was bone-chilling, Zhao Xiaozhao didn't bring an umbrella, and tested the temperature with the back of his hand, which made her shiver, well, it's really cold.
Zhao Xiaozhao has a problem, that is, the blood circulation in the extremities of the body is not smooth, that is to say, in winter, her hands and feet are often cold and not easy to warm up, remember that she has been born since she was ten years old, and she will have chilblains in winter, cracking and suppuration when it is cold, the pain is unbearable, and when it is hot, it is itchy and unbearable, and she can't wait to chop her hands.
Seeing that the school was gradually becoming deserted, Zhao Xiaozhao was ruthless, and trotted like a cold rain with his hood.
Wu Yu had just taken the homework to Ye Mengchen's office, and he happened to see Zhao Xiaozhao running into the drizzle from the window, he couldn't help cursing and quickly ran downstairs.
"Zhao Xiaozhao!" Wu Yu quickly caught up with Zhao Xiaozhao.
Zhao Xiaozhao turned around when he heard the voice, but his body was still moving forward because of inertia, and he accidentally stepped on a stone, and his body fell forward.
"Poof!"
With the heavy voice, Zhao Xiaozhao was ready to become a soup chicken, but he didn't expect to fall into a soft embrace.
She opened her eyes, which had been closed in fear.
I saw Wu Yu's stiff and cold face covered with mud, brown muddy water splashing indiscriminately on his clothes and hair, he looked at his thin arms, one hand tightly wrapped around her waist, and the other hand protected the back of her head.
She looked at the dangerous glint in his faint eyes, a little cowardly because she was sorry.
"Well, you're okay."
Listening to the heavy voice just now, it must be very painful, Zhao Xiaozhao asked humbly.
Wu Yu's voice was full of coldness, and his stiff face was full of anger: "Will you take good care of yourself?" ”
Zhao Xiaozhao got up from Wu Yu, stretched out his hand that was red from the cold, grabbed Wu Yu's hand, and helped him up, Zhao Xiaozhao was not angry because of Wu Yu's questioning, she had just affected Wu Yu because of her carelessness, looking at Wu Yu's appearance, she was also difficult to get angry because of Wu Yu's tone.
She exclaimed, "I'm sorry. ”
Wu Yu's hand held Zhao Xiaozhao's small hand that was as cold as an iron bar, frowned and asked, "Why don't you wear gloves, why are you so cold?" ”
"My hands are like this in the winter, they can't get hot, and it's useless to wear gloves." Zhao Xiaozhao hurriedly wanted to pull his hand out of Wu Yu's palm, but was held by Wu Yu.
Her hands have always been like this?
Wu Yu's heart throbbed.
At that time, she used such a pair of hands to wash and cook for them every day, and several times she secretly applied ointment in the study, but he never stepped forward to ask.
At that time, he was reluctant to let her go, but he wanted to give her freedom.
He didn't bother to ask about her, and kept his distance from her life, because they were not united by love, but only by a helpless accident.
However, he is really a bastard, just because he cares, he can't let go of his poor self-esteem, so he ignores her "goodness" to his daily trickles?
He said he loved her?
I've been together for most of my life, but I don't know her preferences, her pains, what kind of love for her?
Wu Yu was very angry, why did he get into a dead end in his last life, and only knew how to avoid it, thinking that it would be good to give her a "home" and give her son a nominal father?
Zhao Xiaozhao looked at Wu Yu's increasingly stiff and cold face, and was worried in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Wu Yu, I'm fine, you're dirty, why don't you go to my house and take a hot bath." ”
Wu Yu looked at Zhao Xiaozhao's apprehension, and sighed in his heart: It was precisely because they were all adults at that time that it was difficult to cross that solid wall, and now they are just children, they can be willful, they can be unreasonable, and they can easily resolve all grievances and hatreds with a "I'm sorry".
"Zhao Xiaozhao, I'm sorry, I scared you." Wu Yu adjusted his facial muscles to ease his expression, he took off his soaked coat, tied it around his waist, then turned around, half-squatted down and said, "I'll carry you back, hurry up." ”
"Well, it's okay, I can go by myself." Zhao Xiaozhao was very moved when he watched Wu Yu's careful movements, he took off his clothes, because he was afraid that she would be wet by his wet clothes.
"Come on, aren't you going to the Bai family for dinner? At this time, if you can't get a taxi, I'll carry you faster. Quick, don't make me say it a third time. Wu Yu handed the umbrella that had fallen to the ground to Zhao Xiaozhao.
Indeed, she hesitated, but instead let the two of them stay longer in the rain.
So she took the umbrella and lay on Wu Yu's clean sweater.
Wu Yu ran very fast, carrying Zhao Xiaozhao on his back, as if he was carrying a feather on his back, effortlessly.
Zhao Xiaozhao was attached to Wu Yu's back, and the heat from his back warmed Zhao Xiaozhao's cold palm, and she couldn't help but put her face on his back.
Hmm, it's warm.
Zhao Xiaozhao worked hard to hold up the umbrella to block the rain that fell on Wu Yu's head.
In the drizzle, an umbrella is like isolating a world. And in this world, away from the cold of winter and the hustle and bustle of the city, only the warm hearts of the two people who think about each other are left.
Zhao Xiaozhao's shop was not far from the school, and Wu Yu's footsteps were fast, so he arrived home quickly.
Wu Yu asked Zhao Xiaozhao to change into a set of clean clothes first, and he first boiled hot water and ginger soup, and then wiped it casually with the towel handed over by Zhao Xiaozhao.
After the hot water was boiled, Wu Yu first let Zhao Xiaozhao take a bath, and he went to the store next to him to buy a change of clothes. After Zhao Xiaozhao finished taking a bath, he let Zhao Xiaozhao drink the ginger soup again, and then went in to wash up satisfied.
"Wu Yu, you put the dirty clothes there, I'll wash them and dry them, and then bring them to you." Zhao Xiaozhao always wanted to do something for Wu Yu because of Wu Yu's care for her, so she was at ease.
Wu Yu quickly took a combat bath, changed into clean clothes, walked out of the door, and said selfishly: "Remember to use hot water." ”
Zhao Xiaozhao saw that Wu Yu did not refuse, and she was very happy in her heart, she smiled and said, "Thank you today, I will invite you to dinner next time." ”
Wu Yu nodded and said, "I'll send you to the Bai family." ”
Zhao Xiaozhao was too lazy to say "no" to Wu Yu, she nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”
The sentence "listen to you" made Wu Yu's heart feel very comfortable, and he raised his hand happily and patted Zhao Xiaozhao's head, saying, "Really good." ”
Zhao Xiaozhao didn't care about Wu Yu either, closed the door, and just wanted to open the umbrella, but was taken down by Wu Yu.
"Hey, give me back my umbrella." Zhao Xiaozhao turned around and saw Wu Yu fold the umbrella she had collected indiscriminately and help her put it in her backpack.
"Why can't a girl even fold an umbrella?" Wu Yu deliberately diverted the topic, looking at Zhao Xiaozhao's face slowly turning red, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he pulled Zhao Xiaozhao over and imprisoned her under his umbrella.
"In order for you not to be ashamed to go to the Bai family, I will reluctantly share it with you, so that you don't have to fold your umbrella messily after you get to the Bai family, which is embarrassing."
Zhao Xiaozhao was a little annoyed and angry: "I want you to eat radishes and worry about it, Wu Yu, why are you so hateful!" ”
Wu Yu glanced at the top of Zhao Xiaozhao's head and said, "No way, who made you an artist signed by me, I want to ensure that your personal image is good." ”
Zhao Xiaozhaomo.
For the sake of pocket money, she endured.
When the two arrived at Bai's house, it was Bai Minglan who opened the door for them.
As the door opened, a warm current in the room hit the faces of the two, Zhao Xiaozhao blinked his eyes that were a little blurred because of the warmth, and when his eyes became clear, he saw Bai Minglan, who was wearing beige casual clothes, standing barefoot in front of her.
The young man seems to have grown a lot taller, and his bright smile makes Zhao Xiaozhao feel like the warm winter sun, refreshing.
"Xiao Zhao, ...... you come" Bai Minglan's smile was unpleasant because he saw Wu Yu behind Zhao Xiaozhao frozen on his face, "Why are you here?" ”
Wu Yu pulled the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his lips that seemed to be smiling were a little gloomy under the light in front of Bai Minglan's house, and he said word by word: "Oh? I'm here to collect debts. ”
"What do you say?" Bai Minglan didn't know why, and looked a little dissatisfied.
Zhao Xiaozhao knew that Wu Yu had a strange temper, and occasionally he would commit snake spirit disease, so she pulled Wu Yu's sleeve and reminded him to pay attention to the wording, after all, people invited him with good intentions, and she didn't come to complain.
Wu Yu thought of Zhao Xiaozhao, so he didn't say much to Bai Minglan, he turned his head and said to Zhao Xiaozhao: "You go in, I'll go to the neighborhood to have a meal, and I'll send you back later." ”
Zhao Xiaozhao just wanted to say no, but when he saw Wu Yu's unquestioning gaze, he felt helpless, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I won't eat too fast, you take your time." ”
Bai Minglan watched the interaction between the two, and a trace of unhappiness rose in her heart.
"Xiao Zhao, you come in." Bai Minglan watched Zhao Xiaozhao walk into the house, and then closed the door with force, until he couldn't see Wu Yu's annoying face, and his mood was better.
"Xiao Zhao, you're here." Fan Wenqing heard the movement, put down the vegetable shovel, wiped his hands on his apron, and hurriedly walked out to greet him, "Ah yo, I haven't seen you in the past few days, our Xiao Zhao is getting more and more beautiful, come on, Auntie won the first place in the unit competition a few days ago, all because our Xiao Zhao sang well." Our Xiao Zhao will give Auntie a long face. ”
Fan Wenqing said as he hugged Zhao Xiaozhao, put on his red lips and kissed Zhao Xiaozhao on the face: "Xiaozhao, why are you so light, this Wang Weiping didn't take good care of you, Aunt Hui must scold him well, look at our Xiao Zhao." Auntie, I burned rock sugar pig's feet and wrapped crystal dumplings, Xiao Zhao and the others will have to eat them with an open stomach. ”
Zhao Xiaozhao was a little stunned by Fan Wenqing's enthusiasm, and she was led to the dining table by Bai Minglan in a daze.
"Xiao Zhao, you sit here, my brother will sit next to you, okay?" With a shallow smile, Bai Minglan gently asked for Zhao Xiaozhao's opinion.
Zhao Xiaozhao glanced at Bai Minglan, the little boy's delicate and fair skin, gentle smile, and delicate face are very different from Wu Yu, Wu Yu's skin is darker, and his appearance is just mediocre, and his personality is even more unpredictable, and it is difficult to distinguish between joy and anger.
Zhao Xiaozhao's heart changed unconsciously, even she didn't know it, and now that she saw Bai Minglan again, in addition to simply admiring his face, her little heart didn't speed up, and she still had the leisure to analyze the difference between him and Wu Yu.
