After Christmas Eve, it began to snow in Pennsylvania for two days before it stopped.

It was New Year's Day in a blink of an eye, and Bai Shutong had no food reserves at home, so she found a time to go to the supermarket.

When he went home with a paper pocket of vegetables and fruits, Bai Shutong saw a man standing at the door of his house, he was wearing a black tweed coat, leaning against the wall, tall and thin.

Bai Shutong's steps paused, and the sound of "crunching" stepping on the snow disappeared. The man realized something and turned his head to look in her direction.

The two looked at each other, Bai Shutong was stunned, his hand was loosened, the paper bag fell, and the oranges in the bag turned out, rolling, rolling, rolling to Shao Yuanguang's feet.

Shao Yuanguang bent down and picked up the orange at his feet, raised his hand, and wanted to return it to Bai Shutong, but she stayed where she was, motionless, her fingers tightly covering her mouth.

Shao Yuanguang put down his hand, took a step with his right leg, frowned slightly, thought about it and withdrew, and beckoned Bai Shutong: "Come and help me." ”

His coat was very long, and Bai Shutong couldn't see the situation on his left leg knee, but he still went over to support Shao Yuanguang as he said. When he walked to his side, Bai Shutong found that Shao Yuanguang was holding a cane in his left hand, and his expression between his eyebrows was slightly painful.

Bai Shutong didn't know how to react to the sudden visit, she opened her mouth to ask about his injury, but after thinking about it for a while, she still said, "Teacher Shao, let's sit in the room first?" ”

Shao Yuanguang's legs were already numb from the cold, and he looked at Bai Shutong and nodded.

Bai Shutong helped Shao Yuanguang into the house, turned on the heater, and then remembered to rescue the vegetables and fruits at the door.

Bai Shutong picked up the orange and saw Shao Yuanguang's suitcase at the door.

He got off the plane and didn't go to the hotel, but he came to her first. If he had known that he would come, Bai Shutong would definitely not have gone to the supermarket, and would definitely wait for him at home, lest he would be frozen outside.

Bai Shutong put the things in the kitchen, hesitated and didn't get close to him, stood far away, and asked Shao Yuanguang: "Have you just arrived?" I didn't know you were coming......"

Shao Yuanguang glanced at her, didn't say much, looked around the room, glanced at Bai Shutong standing by the wall, and pointed to his luggage: "Pull the box over." ”

Bai Shutong went to drag the suitcase at the door as he said. The box was not light, she dragged it to Shao Yuanguang, and Shao Yuanguang said again: "Open it, there is something for you inside." ”

She never thought that he would come, let alone bring her something. Bai Shutong sniffed, squatted down and opened the box.

The boxes are stuffed to the brim, and they are all full of all kinds of food, mainly spicy. Taking out the things, Shao Yuanguang's own things were pitiful, only a few changes of clothes, and some medicines.

Entering the house, Shao Yuanguang had already taken off his coat, he put the coat on his lap, Bai Shutong couldn't see the condition of his knees, but he also guessed in his heart.

He had a bad leg, so he came from thousands of miles and brought so many things for her......

Bai Shutong raised his hand to wipe his tears, and his heart twitched.

"American spicy is not pure, you should not be used to it." Shao Yuanguang smiled faintly, "I don't know if I bought it right." ”

Bai Shutong bit his lip and nodded, choked up and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing her nodding, Shao Yuanguang was relieved and said, "That's good." So he got up, put on his coat, and took the cane from his side, ready to go.

Bai Shutong looked at his back and asked him, "Teacher Shao, don't go." ”

Shao Yuanguang looked back at her, Bai Shutong blinked, lowered his head and said, "You just got off the plane and haven't eaten yet, right?" Finish your meal and leave. ”

Shao Yuanguang sat on the plane for more than 20 hours, and was physically and mentally exhausted at the moment, seeing that Bai Shutong was staying, he no longer shirked, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Bai Shutong smiled, put his things away, and went to the kitchen to cook.

She didn't have time to make complicated things, so she ordered two bowls of tomato noodle soup and nested two eggs in the noodles.

After the meal was ready, Bai Shutong found that Shao Yuanguang was already asleep sitting on the sofa.

She approached him, and when she heard his calm breath, her heart was hot for no reason, and her nasal cavity was sour.

I haven't seen him for half a year, Shao Yuanguang has lost a lot of weight, and his emaciated cheeks have better side lines, which looks warm under the yellow light.

He leaned back on the couch, his coat still on his lap, and his hand resting on the knee of his left leg.

Bai Shutong couldn't bear to disturb him, sat quietly on his lap, pulled the heater over, and leaned closer to him.

Xu felt the warmth, Shao Yuanguang opened his eyes slightly, and saw Bai Shutong on his legs. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed, looking at him.

Shao Yuanguang took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, and said apologetically: "I'm too tired, I'm asleep." ”

Bai Shutong shook his head, got up and brought the noodles to Shao Yuanguang: "Teacher Shao, let's eat." ”

Shao Yuanguang took the bowl, said "thank you", and ate the noodles with his head bored. After a year, he ate the food cooked for him by Bai Shutong again, even if it was dried noodles, even if he ran half the world, it was satisfying for Shao Yuanguang.

He quickly finished eating, and when he put down the dishes and chopsticks, he saw Bai Shutong sitting on his lap staring at his left knee.

Shao Yuanguang smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Don't worry, it's lame." ”

Bai Shutong nodded, but he didn't necessarily feel at ease as Shao Yuanguang said-

Bai Shutong wanted to send Shao Yuanguang to the hotel, but Shao Yuanguang said that it was too late and insisted on refusing. Bai Shutong had no choice but to give up, and after he left, he dialed Gao Qi's phone.

It was still early in the morning in Jiangcheng, Gao Qi answered the phone and yawned, and said directly: "I don't take out a loan, I don't buy a house, and it's not uncommon for me to win the lottery." ”

Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, laughed dryly, and said, "Doctor Gao, I'm Bai Shutong." ”

Gao Qi was also stunned for a moment, looked at the strange number displayed on the mobile phone screen, and smiled awkwardly: "I thought what about advertising calls...... Gao Qi came back to his senses, "Eh, why did you think of calling me?" ”

Before Bai Shutong could say anything, Gao Qi let out an "oh", which startled her, "I'm x!" Chris isn't really going to the U.S., is he? ”

"Uh......" Bai Shutong didn't know why he reacted so much, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher Shao is now in the United States and is visiting Wèn." ”

Visiting Wèn? Ghost Letter!

Gao Qi did not debunk, laughed and did not speak.

"Doctor Gao, is Mr. Shao's leg injury very serious?" Bai Shutong asked him, "It's been more than a year, why haven't you gotten better?" ”

Gao Qi wanted to tease her, so he asked her, "What if I don't get better?" ”

Bai Shutong was anxious, where was he teasing, and then remembered that Shao Yuanguang said that he couldn't be lame just now, and felt that he was comforting her. Bai Shutong choked up directly when he heard the voice: "Aren't you the best at surgery?" How could it not be better? That...... Will he use crutches in the future? ”

Gao Qi didn't expect Bai Shutong to be so easy to deceive, so he believed it after saying a few words, so he simply teased her to the end: "Hey......" He sighed, "His legs, he can be good if he says it well, and if he doesn't say it well, it won't be good...... Anyway, there are a lot of taboos, and if you are not careful, there will be problems. ”

Bai Shutong listened and asked him: "What are the taboos?" Tell me about it. ”

Gao Qi smiled when he heard this: "You don't live with him for the rest of your life, why do you know so much?" ”

"I'm ......," Bai Shutong said, "I'm ...... these days." Can ......"

Gao Qi snickered, but when he spoke, he was serious: "Don't catch a cold, don't get tired, eat less greasy, eat more vegetables, keep a good mood, massage properly, and most importantly, ......"

Gao Qi paused for a moment, didn't say anything, Bai Shutong asked, Gao Qi smiled: "He just had surgery, it's inconvenient these days, he can't have sex, I can't help it, I have to pay attention to the position." ”

Bai Shutong's face turned red when he heard this, and he stammered when he spoke. Dr. Gao...... You...... What are you talking about...... I...... I hung up ......"

Bai Shutong hung up the phone and looked at the various precautions noted in the notebook, and the shyness had been removed, until he saw the last one, and his heart was not calm again.

She simply closed her notebook and lay on the bed thinking about what she should do-

The next day, Bai Shutong personally made lunch, fried a few light vegetables, packed them in a lunch box, and waited until noon to go to the hotel in the snow.

The hotel where Shao Yuanguang lives is the hotel where the school entertains visiting Wèn scholars, and the location is not far from the school. When I arrived at the hotel, the front desk said that Shao Yuanguang had gone out. Bai Shutong waited anxiously in the hall, and at noon, Shao Yuanguang came back on crutches.

He went into the house with a layer of snow on his shoulders. When Bai Shutong saw it, he hurriedly ran over to support him and asked him, "Where have you been?" ”

Shao Yuanguang couldn't sleep because of jet lag, so he went to visit David in the morning, and chatted with David for a while before coming back.

He looked at Bai Shutong and seemed to be in a hurry, so he asked her, "Do you have something to do with me?" ”

Bai Shutong was thinking about his leg injury, but he didn't care about it, and he was running around in the snow. She was a little upset and pouted, but she couldn't express it too much, so she had to say, "It's nothing...... I made lunch and brought it to you. ”

When she said this, Shao Yuanguang's heart warmed, and he pointed to the elevator: "Let's talk about it when we go up." ”

Helping Shao Yuanguang to the room, Bai Shutong put out his lunch and handed the chopsticks to Shao Yuanguang.

Shao Yuanguang happily took it, took two bites and asked her, "Why did you think of bringing me food?" ”

"The United States eats a lot of meat, and you just had surgery, don't you want to eat more vegetables and eat more lightly?"

Shao Yuanguang glanced at her, smiled, didn't say much, and lowered his head to eat.

When he finished eating, Bai Shutong was still sitting beside him, his eyes staring at his left knee. His left leg was somewhat stiff and his knee was not fully bent.

Bai Shutong thought of what Gao Qi said last night, and felt a little uncomfortable, afraid that Shao Yuanguang would not be able to fully recover, so he asked him in a low voice: "Teacher Shao, can I look at your knees?" ”

Shao Yuanguang felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to refuse her, but Bai Shutong's eyes stared at him, which made him unbearable.

He lifted his trouser legs, exposing his knees. He had a thick tape on his knee and the wound was not visible. But that's it, Bai Shutong still covered his mouth and cried.

Seeing her crying, Shao Yuanguang was a little overwhelmed, he hurriedly pulled out two tissues and handed them to her, comforting her: "This is a minor operation, pay attention after surgery, it will be fine after a while." ”

Bai Shutong shook his head, inexplicably blaming himself in his heart.

"Mr. Shao, during your time in Pennsylvania...... Can I take care of you? ”

Shao Yuanguang frowned: "I didn't come here to let you take care of my ......"

He only came to the United States to see her, which was despicable, and it was not too much to say that he took advantage of the situation. If he wanted to recuperate with peace of mind, he didn't have to suffer more than 20 hours of travel fatigue.

"Teacher Shao, you believe me, I have really made progress in the past six months, I can take care of you, and I won't waste my studies, let alone make a mess for you......" Bai Shutong sniffed and said, "Take care of you, I will feel better...... Moreover, I was alone during the winter vacation...... You should stay with me, okay? ”

Bai Shutong's teary eyes were hazy, Shao Yuanguang looked soft-hearted, hesitated, and nodded in agreement.
