8. Warm and cold (3)
Shao Yuanguang came out of the bedroom with a small medicine box in his hand.
He squatted down beside Bai Shutong, took her hand, flipped his palm upward, and carefully examined the abrasions on her wrists.
Shao Yuanguang's sudden movements and the touch of the skin between the two made Bai Shutong's crying stop abruptly, and she looked at Shao Yuanguang in front of her in a daze, feeling the warmth of her fingertips seeping into her fingertips.
His breath was cold, but his palms were wide and warm. He gently held her fingertips, and the temperature of his skin was transmitted to Bai Shutong's heart little by little along the skin.
Bai Shutong suddenly realized that this was the first time she had observed Shao Yuanguang from this angle. He half-knelt in front of her, looking at her wrist with a lowered brow. His eyelashes were long and dense, and his hair was still a little damp and hung softly down on his forehead. Shao Yuanguang at this angle has no edge, no longer harsh, and exudes a gentleness and harmlessness from head to toe.
Bai Shutong gradually held his breath, and the rapid crying just now had been replaced by a gentle breath, as if only this kind of peace would not abruptly disturb the silence at this time.
Shao Yuanguang finished observing Bai Shutong's bruises, looked up at her, and asked her, "Don't cry?" โ
Bai Shutong came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream, and remembered that she was still crying when Shao Yuanguang held her hand. Bai Shutong was a little embarrassed, snorted twice in a pretentious manner, and wiped away his tears in a fake manner.
Shao Yuanguang looked at it and chuckled, took out an alcohol swab from the medicine box, and carefully rubbed it on Bai Shutong's wound.
The wound was still fresh, and it inevitably stinged when it touched the alcohol. Bai Shutong was caught off guard and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand.
Shao Yuanguang had already taken precautions, and as soon as she twitched, he used some strength to gently tug it, but instead held Bai Shutong's hand tighter.
"Bear with me." He said.
These two words with a sense of command were far more effective than comfort, Bai Shutong obediently said "um", then stopped moving, and let Shao Yuanguang fiddle.
The wound was detoxified, and Shao Yuanguang looked for a band-aid in the medicine box again. He lowered his head and turned over, seemingly casually, and said to Bai Shutong: "I don't know what happened to you tonight, if it's hard to face, don't think about it for the time being." โ
His enlightenment is not the same as the chicken soup in other people's mouths, and it is difficult to face it, so he will not face it for the time being, which seems to be an escape to put it bluntly.
Shao Yuanguang seemed to see Bai Shutong's puzzlement, and explained while tearing the packaging of the band-aid: "People must first learn to protect themselves, and escape is one." As he spoke, he paused.
He's always been good at escaping such things, and it's not in vain to pass on his experience here.
Shao Yuanguang shook his head after thinking about it, and then changed his words: "Of course, if you have the courage to face it, it will be better." As he spoke, he put a band-aid on Bai Shutong.
The slight frustration in his expression was well concealed by his words and actions, and Bai Shutong thought about his own affairs and did not notice it. She weighed it in her heart and decided not to think about it for the time being as Shao Yuanguang said.
Bai Shutong's mood seemed to calm down a little, Shao Yuanguang put away his things, and when he closed the medicine box, his eyes flicked, and he saw something lying in the corner of the medicine box.
It was not big, square in shape, and the simple packaging was printed with the words "Friendship Sponsorship of Jiangcheng University Student Union".
Shao Yuanguang's hand froze, and after a slight pause, he closed the medicine box tightly-
A condom brought Shao Yuanguang's thoughts back to the night of Valentine's Day, but it only took a moment for him to come back to his senses.
On Valentine's Day, he wouldn't have paid attention to Bai Shutong's prank, but because of the generosity of Dean Zheng Guozhong, he caught the culprit of the prank.
Shao Yuanguang glanced at Bai Shutong beside him, put the medicine box, got up and said, "If you don't want to go home, stay here." He said, pointing to the back room, "You sleep in the bedroom, and the door can be locked." โ
Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, and slowly reacted to Shao Yuanguang's words.
She smiled a little awkwardly, "Teacher Shao, I believe in you. โ
"It's better to lock it up." Shao Yuanguang smiled faintly, the cunning in his eyes flashed, and it was difficult to detect, "I may not be able to break in." โ
A glass of milk, a few words, and a band-aid, the distance between the two was inexplicably pulled in. Bai Shutong had long lost his original timidity at this time, and knew that Shao Yuanguang was joking, so he also laughed it off.
Tonight, if it weren't for Shao Yuanguang, she wouldn't know how to get through.
"Thank you." Bai Shutong said.
Shao Yuanguang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and took it all. He watched Bai Shutong enter the bedroom, then sat back on the sofa and picked up the journal on the coffee table again.
The page he had seen earlier had been folded, and the title of the article was now glaring - "Conquerherorprotecther?" (Conquer her or protect her?) ๏ผ-
In the morning, Bai Shutong was awakened by the dazzling morning light, and after waking up, the refreshing smell of light mint entered the nose.
Bai Shutong stuffed his head in the pillow, took a big breath, and his face turned red. Last night, she went into the house and fell asleep, not realizing that the room was full of Shao Yuanguang's breath.
She got up and sniffed herself, the penetration of this breath was extremely strong, including her now, she had been contaminated by Shao Yuanguang's taste.
After a night, the clothes I changed yesterday are dry. Bai Shutong changed his clothes and went home to clean up, and after thinking about it, he went to the office.
Although Shao Yuanguang left her a message in the morning and granted her a day of vacation, in the face of the empty house, Bai Shutong was inevitably upset, and it was easier to find something to do and forget what happened last night-
Bai Shutong arrived at the office, and it happened that Yu Yue was in the house to guide Shao Yuanguang to deal with the reimbursement matters.
Seeing Bai Shutong push the door in, Yu Yue couldn't help complaining: "Why did you come?" Is it appropriate to let Mr. Shao, a big professor, post โกโก here! โ
Bai Shutong glanced at the messy bills on Shao Yuanguang's desktop, hesitated, and before the word "I" could be spoken, Shao Yuanguang spoke first: "I asked her to go out to do errands." โ
Errands? Yu Yue glanced at Bai Shutong suspiciously.
Bai Shutong felt Yu Yue's questioning gaze, so he hurriedly avoided his eyes.
Nothing about last night's incident can make Yu Yue see the flaws, if Yu Yue discovers the slightest clue, most of them will be known to the whole hospital.
Bai Shutong has a ghost in his heart, and he inevitably wants to cover up his deeds. Yu Yue was not stupid, so she naturally saw the clues, and asked the bottom of the question: "What's wrong with your eyes?" So swollen? Have you ever cried? โ
Bai Shutong hesitated twice, and subconsciously glanced at Shao Yuanguang with his residual vision.
Shao Yuanguang lowered his head and sorted out his โกโก, as if he had no time to take care of Bai Shutong's situation.
Bai Shutong's scalp was numb when he was questioned by Yu Yue, and when he didn't know how to deal with it, Shao Yuanguang interjected: "You have the time to chat, don't you want to help me sort out โกโก?" โ
Although these words were reproaching Bai Shutong for her laziness, she couldn't help but be relieved when she heard it, and she felt that tidying up โกโก was also a beautiful thing to do.
Yu Yue listened to Shao Yuanguang's words, and her face was a little bad. She was bored, shrugged her shoulders and prepared to leave, and as soon as she walked to the door, Cao Feng came in.
Cao Feng recklessly pushed the door and entered, not looking to see if there was anyone else, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Tongtong, it's time to eat!" When he entered the door and looked at it, he smiled and added, "Teacher Shao, Teacher Yu, are you also there?" โ
Shao Yuanguang looked up at Cao Feng, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and before he could speak, Yu Yue seemed to be touched by the excitement, looking at Cao Feng's eyes shining, and laughing vigorously: "Yo, it's called so affectionate?" โ
Cao Feng scratched his head and smirked: "It's called used to it." โ
"I know that the two of you have a good relationship, but in front of outsiders, it's better to be more restrained." Yu Yue looked at Cao Feng, then at Bai Shutong, and added jokingly, "In the courtyard, after all, you are a legitimate teacher-student relationship." โ
The implication is that when they leave the academy, they are an improper teacher-student relationship?
Bai Shutong felt that this tasted wrong, and was anxious to open her mouth to defend herself, but Cao Feng was too busy to respond, and blocked her defense.
The first attempt failed, and Bai Shutong's first reaction was to turn his head to see Shao Yuanguang's expression.
Shao Yuanguang had already handed over all the bills in hand to Bai Shutong, his expression was indifferent at this time, and he turned a deaf ear to what he had just said, just packing up his things with his head down, and he couldn't see the slightest wave.
Bai Shutong glanced at it hurriedly, and he couldn't help but feel lost, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt ridiculous. For this matter that has almost nothing to do with Shao Yuanguang, should there be any waves in his heart?
Bai Shutong sighed sullenly in his heart, but Yu Yue's side was even more energetic. She glanced at the lunch bag Cao Feng was carrying, smiled, and asked him, "Brought the food?" โ
Cao Feng smirked, scratched his head, and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Compared with Shao Yuanguang's eviction order, Cao Feng's is much more tactful and subtle. Yu Yue smiled and glanced at Shao Yuanguang as if he had fulfilled him: "Teacher Shao, let's not block them here." Shall I invite you to dinner at noon? โ
Yu Yue's words invisibly pulled her and Shao Yuanguang into a camp, and staying here was to prevent them from living in a two-person world, so it was better to go out to have lunch together.
This is a clever statement, a casual invitation, which seems casual but natural. On weekdays, Bai Shutong must applaud Yu Yue's wit. But at this time, she had no time to appreciate it, and she just wanted to clarify her relationship with Cao Feng.
As soon as she found an opportunity to explain, before she could finish a "no", Shao Yuanguang interrupted her.
"Nope." He rejected Yu Yue, but he was not prepared to stay in the office. He picked up Wen Jiร n on the table, looked at Cao Feng, and then at Bai Shutong, and said indifferently, "I still have something." With that, he hooked up his coat and walked out of the office first, leaving only an indifferent back.
