Chapter 7 Greed for Warmth
The pain in the ankle has turned into a numb, dull ache. Shen Qingzhao really needed something to relieve the pain now.
So she didn't shirk and took it calmly: "Thank you." β
He Sibai handed over the ice water, didn't sit down on the bench, turned around and leaned on the lamppost on the side, and waited patiently.
Shen Qingzhao held ice water in one hand, lifted up the long skirt with the other, and casually accosted him: "What a coincidence, why are you here?" β
The silk dress she was wearing today draped so well that it hung up and fell down every now and then to her ankles.
For convenience, Shen Qingzhao directly tied the skirt in the crook of the leg.
So when He Sibai lowered his head in response, he inadvertently glanced at it, and the first thing that caught his eye was Shen Qingzhao's half-cut calf wearing black silk stockings.
Slender and straight, with smooth lines, it is very beautiful.
He Sibai felt uncomfortable inexplicably. He looked away, trying to keep his voice as cold and indifferent: "By the way, by the way." β
After a pause, he asked again, "Then why are you here?" β
Shen Qingzhao heard this, raised his head and looked at He Sibai, and pretended to smile lightly: "I didn't bring my mobile phone, but I met a bad guy." You're going to kidnap me. β
He Sibai: "The yellow-haired one?" β
Shen Qingzhao was stunned: "How do you know?" β
He Sibai turned his head sideways and glanced at her: "He's been showing off at school for two days"
"What?" Shen Qingzhao was stunned for a moment.
"You gave him WeChat," He Sibai curled his lips as if he were nonchalant, calmly relaying what he had seen and heard in the past few days.
"He also said you were going to invite him to dinner."
ββ¦β¦ Day. Shen Qingzhao didn't know what to say, so he scolded embarrassedly.
I don't know where this yellow hair comes from.
He Sibai said: "It seems that you haven't had time to invite this meal yet." β
Shen Qingzhao hooked his lips, his tone was light, but his eyes were endlessly cold: "If I really invite Huang Mao to dinner, I will have to lie in the green belt of which highway tomorrow." β
As soon as his thoughts and voice turned, Shen Qingzhao frowned: "But then Huang Mao left inexplicably, could it be that one of your teachers saw it?" β
Shen Qingzhao's idea is very simple, she also came from this age, knowing that this group of students rely on their youth to act recklessly, dare to do anything that lacks morality, and they are not afraid of passers-by passing by to witness what happened.
But they are also weak-minded, afraid that the school will punish them, or a phone call to their parents, it will be over.
The young man seemed to be thinking seriously for a long time before he answered very slowly: "I don't know." β
Shen Qingzhao didn't expect to get any accurate news from He Sibai. After all, He Sibai, a well-behaved scholar, will not understand the deeds of those hooligans and scum at a glance.
Naturally, it won't have anything to do with them.
She shrugged her shoulders and sighed rather self-deprecatingly: "Then I can only count myself lucky." β
He Sibai pulled the corners of his mouth inaudibly, and did not respond.
Shen Qingzhao asked He Sibai to borrow a mobile phone. In this moment of helplessness, she was very glad that she could still remember Yu Lan's phone.
But Yu Lan has already left the set and gone on a date with a handsome guy.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Shen Qingzhao contacted Guan Tong, who was still on the set, through Yu Lan, and asked him to send his mobile phone.
Guan Tong said no problem: "I'm already out of the play, I'll go to you after packing up my things." β
Shen Qingzhao reported his location: "Thank you." β
Guan Tong sighed: "What's polite." β
Shen Qingzhao hung up the phone and returned the phone to He Sibai.
The ice water in her hand gradually melted, dripping all over the ground.
Shen Qingzhao's swelling on her ankle was not too serious, she used cold water to ice it for a while, and the numbness and pain were mixed together.
In short, I don't feel the pain anymore because of the numbness.
She slowly stood up and tried to move her ankle a few times.
By the way, taking advantage of the interval between activities, Shen Qingzhao put the bottle on the chair, shook the water in his hand, held on to the back of the chair and prepared to limp up, and throw the water into the trash.
He Sibai glanced at her, his expression was still cold, but his movements were very neat, and he stretched out his hand directly towards her.
The teenager's palms are upward. It's a asking pose.
Shen Qing looked at the young man's outstretched hand and was silent for a moment.
The boy finally couldn't help but speak, and his voice was a little impatient: "Water bottle." β
Shen Qingzhao raised his head and replied, "The wound on your hand is cracked." β
He Sibai didn't care, only lowered his head and glanced at it.
The tone was still understated: "Small injury, it's okay." β
He is a slow person to feel pain, and in general, he allows his wounds to heal themselves.
Shen Qingzhao twisted his eyebrows and stared at the long and narrow wound that ran through his palm from left to right: "How did you get this?" β
He Sibai thought seriously for a few seconds, and responded in a frank tone: "I cut the vegetables, and I got the cut." β
Shen Qingzhao: "......"
This is cutting your hands like watermelon, right?
She was silent for a few seconds, sighed helplessly, lowered her head, took her handbag from the side, unzipped it, and rummaged through it.
After a moment's pause, she pulled out a Band-Aid.
She hooked her hand at He Sibai: "Come here." β
He Sibai stood still, quickly put his hand back in his pocket, and looked at her condescendingly: "No. β
Shen Qingzhao patiently explained: "The wound has cracked and is prone to infection. β
He Sibai was still very resistant.
Shen Qingzhao maintained a band-aid posture, and the two faced each other for a few seconds, and Shen Qingzhao suddenly stood up.
She still had a new injury to her ankle, and she couldn't get her balance when she stood up so suddenly.
So Shen Qingzhao's whole person was crooked, and he was about to fall.
The accident came too suddenly, He Sibai's pupils shrank suddenly, he took a step forward with long legs, subconsciously took a few steps forward, and reached out to catch Shen Qingzhao.
Between the lightning and flint, the two were very close.
Between the eyes, almost breathing.
This is an extremely ambiguous gesture. But Shen Qingzhao still looked at He Sibai without hesitation, and there was cunning in his eyes that could not be hidden. Like a child who has succeeded in his prank.
She lowered her head with a smile, pulled He Sibai's hand, and applied the Band-Aid to it.
The Band-Aid is ironed to perfection and fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.
Shen Qingzhao looked at it with satisfaction for a while, and finally slowly straightened up: "Okay." β
He Sibai didn't move.
still maintained the posture of palms up, looking directly at Shen Qingzhao.
It's just that the emotions in his eyes are bottomless.
Shen Qingzhao didn't notice He Sibai's eyes. Her attention was still focused on Horba's hand.
Lowering his head and re-examining the band-aid, Shen Qingzhao was a little regretful: "It seems to be shorter." The wound at the edges is still leaking outside. β
"It's fine." He Sibai finally lowered his hand.
He secretly rubbed his thumb over the band-aid in the blind corner of Shen Qing's sight, and then bent down to pick up the mineral water bottle on the bench and walked a few steps behind her.
With a "clang", the mineral water bottle was thrown into the trash can with precision.
The heavy bottle of mineral water was thrown out, but there were still water stains on his hands.
Sticky and cool feeling.
Shen Qingzhao's soft voice came from behind him: "Remember not to get water on the wound, and pay attention when chopping vegetables in the future...... It's the first time I've seen someone as stupid as you. β
Talk endlessly.
But Horsbeth didn't hate the feeling.
He Sibai stared at the trash can for a moment, and felt the corners of his mouth slowly hook up in the bleak night.
He saidβ
"Hmm. Got it. β
The sound of car horns pierced the night sky, and also drowned out Hesbai's voice. He and Shen Qingzhao looked up together, only to see a gray BMW parked in front of them.
The driver's window slowly descended, revealing the enthusiastic smiling face of the man in the car: "Sister Shen." I'm coming. β
It's Guan Tong.
Shen Qingzhao waved at him, and pointed to his ankle again: "I have a sprained ankle, you get out of the car and hand it to me." β
"Sprained?" Guan Tong was a little surprised, "Are you okay?" β
"It's fine." Shen Qingzhao shook his head, and his tone was understated, "My heels are a bit high today. β
"Your women's high heels are all murder weapons," Guan Tong pulled the car door and walked down, "Let's go, I'll send you back." β
Shen Qingzhao: "I'm sorry for you." β
Guan Tong snorted and glanced at her angrily: "You are too polite and hypocritical, just remember to let me do more at the card table in the future." β
She and Guan Tong are very familiar with each other, and the two go back and forth, and the atmosphere of conversation is very harmonious.
Shen Qingzhao responded with a smile. She slowly stood up under Guan Tong's support, and turned her head to ask He Sibai, "What did you just say?" β
He Sibai's eyes had cooled again.
"Nothing," he said. β
He couldn't say that he felt a little irritated when he heard others chatting with Shen Qingzhao in such an intimate tone, talking about some people he didn't understand.
This indistinct irritability made it impossible for him to maintain a gentle attitude.
Shen Qingzhao didn't perceive the subtle changes in the young man's mood, she waved her hand casually, raised her head and smiled at He Sibai Yingying: "Thank you today, goodbye." β
He Sibai nodded dispensably, repeated Shen Qingzhao's words, and said goodbye coldly.
Shen Qingzhao smiled and waved his hand, sat in the passenger seat, and rolled up the window by the way.
After Shen Qingzhao got in the car, he chatted with Guan Tong. She didn't know that after Guan Tong's car drove far away, He Sibai was still standing on the side of the road, staring at the direction the car was leaving.
In the deep night, only the street lamp hung a dim light, which shrouded the boy's body, reflecting a black outline.
It was as cold as a fallen monument.
----
At night, there was sparse traffic on the road, and Guan Tong quickly sent Shen Qingzhao home.
The ankle no longer hurts, Shen Qingzhao moved cautiously for a while, and went to the bathroom to wash up with confidence.
When I came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, I turned off the headlights in the room, leaving only a bedside lamp with soft light.
The room was dim, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping her hair, when the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang.
She wiped her hair, wrapped her hair casually, and walked over to answer the phone.
It was Yu Lan who called, her tone was very urgent, and she opened her mouth and called out to her sister:
"I remember you had a pair of LV limited edition men's gloves in your hand. Did you give it away? β
Shen Qingzhao was confused when he heard it: "Men's gloves? β
Yu Lan responded again and again: "Yes." β
Shen Qingzhao felt funny: "How can I have men's gloves here?" β
Yu Lan sighed: "You forgot, I had my birthday last year, and it was a gift you want to give my brother." Then you found out that my brother had an identical pair, so you took back the pair of gloves you were going to give, and now go to the store and buy a belt for my brotherβthe belt my brother still uses......"
Yu Lan described it for a long time, and Shen Qingzhao remembered the gloves she said, and also understood the reason why Yu Lan called.
It turned out that the LV gloves were out of stock worldwide, and now their value has soared, and a friend of Yu Lan also wants to buy a pair for collection.
Shen Qingzhao said: "I forgot about this, I definitely didn't give it away, and I am still at home." β
Yu Lan asked: "To sell or not to sell?" My friend can pay five times the price. β
The price of five times is almost tens of thousands of yuan. Not to mention gloves, they are enough to buy a LV classic handbag.
And what the other party wants to buy is a pair of men's gloves that she can't use in her life.
Shen Qingzhao was about to agree, but for some reason, He Sibai's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
The dark eyes that were cautious like small animals, the pale and slender hands, and the sinuous wounds in the palms......
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her voice changed, and she refused: "No." β
Yu Lan was stunned: "You are teasing me." β
Shen Qingzhao opened the closet door, and while pulling through the pile of clothes, looking for the gift box that was not sent out, he replied casually: "A younger brother I know just injured his hand, and I just gave him gloves to keep warm." β
Yu Lan sighed: "What a big face, let me Sister Shen wave her hand and throw tens of thousands of yuan out for others to use to wrap their wounds." β
Shen Qingzhao rummaged in the closet intently, and did not respond for a while.
Yu Lan's mind opened: "It won't be the younger brother who is with you tonight, right?" β
Shen Qingzhao paused as he pulled his clothes: "How did you see that?" β
"I'm going? Is it really him? Yu Lan seemed to have eaten some earth-shattering melon, and her voice immediately raised eight degrees excitedly, "Okay, Shen Qingzhao, I said that you haven't even had a lace scandal recently, it turns out that you have changed your taste now and like the younger brother of the New Year." β
"I haven't had lace news lately because my big agent is keeping an eye on me, not letting me fall in love at the end of the year, and increasing the turnover of entertainment tabloids." Shen Qingzhao explained helplessly.
"So no, to, much, want."
"It's caring about people again, and it's giving gloves," Yu Lan snorted, "I don't believe it." β
"You're thinking too much." Shen Qing stopped halfway through his words.
Thinking of the softness in the young man's sick black eyes, her eyes warmed up little by little.
"Besides," Shen Qingzhao came back to his senses, his tone playfully frivolous, "He's too well-behaved, not the type I like." I have no interest in him. Not at the moment, and not in the future. β
"Ahh When Yu Lan heard Shen Qingzhao's answer, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Shen Qingzhao has always been casual in his treatment of feelings, if he likes it, he likes it, and if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it.
This attitude is intellectually cruel. But also crisp and clean.
It seems that Shen Qingzhao is really not interested in this younger brother.
Just handy help.
It is estimated that it is also a whim.
Yu Lan ended the topic with interest: "Okay, see you on the set tomorrow, baby, hang up." β
The box finally came out. Shen Qingzhao pinched the box, glanced at it a few times, and saw that the trademark and the handbag were aligned, it should be the gloves, so he put the box aside.
She hummed casually, "Bye." β
