Chapter 55: Please don't be surprised
I said goodbye to Bao Lina and walked straight to the first canteen, just now Bao Lina said that Cai Xiaohong also likes me? Crazy, these girls are crazy, Bao Lina loves to talk nonsense, why should I pay attention to her "whimsy".
Walking to the front of the men's dormitory building, I saw the dazzling lights in the Chinese and Western pavilions of Wenxin Book House from a distance, which seemed particularly warm in the quiet autumn night.
In the bookstore, Cai Xiaohong was sorting out the accounts, she was sitting in a chair buried in a pile of books and newspapers, her thin shoulders were draped with long hair, compared to the pile of books and sundries, she was too thin and too small.
I walked up and patted her on the shoulder, which scared her out, and she looked like Sadako when she turned her head, and a little pale face in her long unkempt hair also scared me into a tachycardia.
Cai Xiaohong saw that it was me, so she stroked her heart and said: "You scared me to death, and you didn't say hello, it's so late, you -----"
At this point, she gave me a nervous look and asked, "Did you drink?"
Did I say my wine smells strong? Cai Xiaohong nodded, and then said, I was about to send you today's business money.
I said that you didn't have to send business money every day before, and you handed it over to him when Puguang was on duty, and then asked him to hand it over.
Cai Xiaohong shook her head and said, "No, let me sleep with so much money, where can I sleep, I still give you more peace of mind." ”
I said, "You don't have a lot of money and you can't bite your hands, do you have thieves in your bedroom?"
Cai Xiaohong lowered her head and sighed and said, "There are really thieves, our bedroom was just stolen once two days ago." ”
"What did you steal? Have you ever been stolen?"
A hint of blush appeared on Cai Xiaohong's pale face, and he said that it was nothing.
"What do you mean nothing?"
"It's like, it's stealing some of our clothes." Cai Xiaohong's face turned even redder, and I suddenly understood, presumably it was the boy who secreted too much hormones and was so psychologically perverted that he stole the girl's underwear, so he didn't ask anymore. Then he said, "Xiaohong, your face is getting worse and worse, what's wrong?" If you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on, it makes me a little capitalist who has no conscience. ”
Cai Xiaohong hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's really okay, I'm fine." ”
In fact, I know that Cai Xiaohong has been working hard during the summer vacation and has not returned to her hometown, she has made too much effort and hard work for that poor home, which makes me feel a little sorry for her. After all, it is not easy for a girl to work so hard to support her family at a young age.
I didn't say anything more, I helped her quickly sort out the leftover books and miscellaneous items, and then took the business money, helped her go to the door panel of the kiosk together, and locked the book house. I said to her, "You should rest early, you won't be in the library tomorrow morning, I'll take over your shift." ”
Cai Xiaohong looked at me hesitantly, standing there motionless, and finally she shook her head firmly, saying that she was really fine, and she would come to work tomorrow morning. With that, she turned and left.
I could only shake my head, this girl's stubbornness and persistence were incredible.
When I turned to go back to the dormitory, I suddenly saw Cai Xiaohong slowly bending down little by little, her thin body was gradually losing her balance, her hands pressed against her abdomen, and she was leaning in pain. I immediately rushed forward with a lunge.
"Cai Xiaohong, what's wrong with you?"
I cried out loudly and hugged her slightly trembling body without hesitation, and I could clearly see her face twisted in extreme pain, sweat dripping down her forehead. I've never seen her face turn pale like this, distort like this.
Her tears also flowed, Cai Xiaohong was crying, there was no sound, but she was crying.
"Does it hurt? Xiaohong, what's wrong with you? Why don't you tell me. "I could only ask her as gently as I could.
Cai Xiaohong's tenacity really amazed me, she was still there with tears in her eyes, shaking her head stubbornly and saying, "I, I'm just a little uncomfortable, I'll be fine after a rest." I'm sorry, Zhou Xu, can you help me to the chair in front of me?"
I exclaimed, "You're crazy, you're still like a stubborn donkey, I'll take you to the hospital." ”
"No need, really no need," Cai Xiaohong gritted her teeth and said, "Please, Zhou Xu, help me to the chair in front." ”
I had no choice but to half-support and half-hold her, her body was so light that I could almost lift her to the chair on the side of the road.
Cai Xiaohong sat on the stone chair, leaning weakly on my shoulder, her body was still trembling slightly, her head was lowered, and tears were flowing uncontrollably on her face covered by her hair.
"I'm sorry, Zhou Xu, I'll be fine for a while, I'll borrow your shoulder, please don't be weird." Cai Xiaohong said to me softly in a pleading tone.
"It's okay, don't talk too much, just rely on me." I felt a sour feeling in my heart, remembering what Bao Lina said, I don't pay attention to Bao Lina's nonsense about Xiaohong anymore, whether I like it or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore. Cai Xiaohong is just a weak girl who has lost all protection, and all I can do for her is to borrow one of her shoulders for a while.
"Let's go to the hospital, Xiaohong, I'll accompany you." I put my arm around her skinny shoulders and said.
"Really, no need, I've been to see it a long time ago, it's a stomach ulcer, it's been half a year." Cai Xiaohong said, groping for a bottle of medicine from her small canvas bag, "Look, I don't lie to you." "She showed me her medicine.
"Half a year? In other words, our Wenxin Bookstore has been open for half a year, and you have been dragging your illness to work and selling books? I couldn't help but shout, "Cai Xiaohong, you big fool, why don't you tell me, you have to die yourself!"
"I think I'll be fine if I take the medicine. Besides, I really need this job, and I have to treat my sister. ”
I hugged her, holding the vial of her medicine in my hand, and suddenly felt a tingling in my heart, a pain that I had experienced many times, such as waking up in the middle of the night thinking of my child, remembering that I might never be able to return to the pain I had in 2009.
I can't do anything for Cai Xiaohong, I can only hug her, on the campus in late autumn, on the cold stone chair, hugging her slender body, and letting her head rest on my shoulder. Then, I lowered my head, gently brushed her hair loose on her forehead, and kissed her forehead with my lips, just as I once kissed Li Yun's forehead.
To me, is it a kiss of pity, or a kiss of love?
Cai Xiaohong kept her eyes closed, and when I kissed her forehead, she woke up and said softly: "I'm much better now, thank you Zhou Xu, I'm not in pain anymore, you go back and rest early." ”
Saying that, Cai Xiaohong broke free from my embrace, stood up and took a deep breath, and sighed: "The autumn air is so good. She smiled at me, very hard.
