"Wanqiu, what are you doing?" Suddenly, Chu Yigui's voice came from outside the door, "You've been washing for a long time, do you need help?" ”

Wan Qiu looked at the gauze that was being washed in his hand, because this matter had wasted some time.

Chu Yigui's voice was very close, and he should be standing at the door.

He hadn't dressed yet, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed his clothes, forgetting to answer Chu Yigui's words first.

Chu Yigui seemed to be worried about him, and directly pushed open the door of the bathroom.

Ning Qiaozhen didn't like Wanqiu to lock the door, and Wanqiu didn't develop the habit of locking the door.

Suddenly, Wan Qiu stood in the water and met Chu Yigui's eyes.

The air was a little silent, and the dry clothes that Wan Qiu used to cover up were little by little wet with the water falling from the shower.

was seen.

The wounds on his body were seen.

Wan Qiu was visibly flustered.

Chu Yigui looked at Wan Qiu for a while before lowering his eyes: "I'm sorry." ”

Chu Yigui closed the door, but there was no guilt in his expression.

He opened the door on purpose.

As a friend who didn't know that Wan Qiu had injuries, he didn't have enough reasons to treat Wan Qiu, and he needed a condition to see the injuries 'accidentally'.

Even if he was mentally prepared and really watched it without reservation, Chu Yigui was shocked.

Chu Yigui stroked his forehead with his palm, and Wan Qiu's figure was still in his field of vision.

Standing in the water, the current of water on Wan Qiu's body could not hide the hideous and terrifying scars that were densely covered on Wan Qiu's skin.

Wanqiu is very thin, and his shoulders are so thin that the joints are slightly protruding, like a walking skeleton, strongly supporting the fragile skin.

That kind of body can even be said to be weird, but it is not ugly, and it has excellent curvature, which is enough to prove that it is an excellent body.

It's just that this excellence has not been cherished.

Chu Yigui witnessed with his own eyes how cruel the bad luck that befell Wan Qiu.

Wanqiu stayed in the bathroom for a long time, and put on his pajamas again, with long sleeves and long pants.

The fact that traces that could not be seen were seen again, and that made Wan Qiu at a loss.

"On such a hot day, wearing such a thick one?" Chu Yigui saw Wan Qiu come out and asked.

"Yes." Wan Qiu looked away.

"Don't you want to be seen by me?" Chu Yigui directly made it clear.

Wan Qiu nodded, but shook his head again.

Not only because she didn't want to be seen, but also because Ning Qiaozhen didn't want to.

"Did you show me these traces specifically? I didn't care about you when you accused your dad of beating you? You're scheming to show me here? Do you think I'm a better bully than your dad? ”

Ning Qiaozhen's anger when she was in a bad mood made Wanqiu never expose her wounds to the air that could be seen even at home.

The clothes he wore were given to him by other people's children who were younger, and they were repurposed as his pajamas.

"I bought some medicine." Chu Yigui's hand stroked the plastic bag on the side, making a rustling sound, "I want to give you medicine, is it okay?" ”

Wan Qiu was stunned, a little dazed.

"You're a little badly injured, if you don't want me to see it, I can take you to the doctor." Chu Yigui's tone was very casual, not tough, and even mild.

But the more Chu Yigui mentioned his injury so blandly, the more he was reminding Wan Qiu that he had been discovered.

- If you let others know that I beat you, you won't go to school in the future.

- Dare to make trouble for me, you don't even want to come out of the door.

"I'm not hurt." Wan Qiu grabbed the corner of his clothes and pulled downward, trying to deceive himself.

Chu Yigui stared at Wan Qiu, as if he saw a young hedgehog that had erected soft spikes all over his body, trying to defend but to no avail.

Chu Yigui's expression softened, and he asked, "Wanqiu, do you know that there will definitely be one or many little secrets between friends?" ”

"Huh?" Suddenly changed the topic, Wan Qiu looked at Chu Yigui again, to observe Chu Yigui's expression.

Chu Yigui was smiling, this smile may not be happy, but it is very calm, like a soft breeze caressing the hedgehog's side, telling it that you are safe.

"Let's just take this as a little secret between us."

Secret?

This secretive, somewhat taboo word, touched Wanqiu.

"No one who shouldn't know knows, it's a secret." Chu Yigui's tone was slow, word by word, giving Wanqiu enough time to accept it.

Chu Yigui pointed his finger at Wan Qiu, stretched out his little thumb, and bent it slightly: "Okay?" ”

Chapter 19

The slender little fingers hooked Chu Yigui's hand, and the two teenagers of the same age, one big and one small, hooked together, but there was a unique and stark contrast.

And this time, Wan Qiu's fingers hooking Chu Yigui were warm.

Wan Qiu didn't notice at all that Chu Yigui had some small skills about himself in speech.

Unreservedly, he completely believed his friend's words.

Wan Qiu took off his clothes, and his skinny body was more clearly exposed to Chu Yigui's gaze this time.

On that emaciated body, it was as if every wound that had ever existed could be seen deep into the bone, and these scars were so vivid in the age when it was easy to recover during the growth period.

Wan Qiu's body has a lot of bruises, of varying degrees, and it can be seen that they were not left at the same time.

The sound of the medicine box being opened sounded, and Chu Yigui began to help him with the medicine.

I don't know what kind of medicine it is, it was cold at first, but after Chu Yigui rubbed the medicinal oil open, there was a warm feeling at the wound, and the fragrance of the medicine gradually covered the two of them.

"How did you get it here?" Chu Yigui's hand was on the worst bruise on Wan Qiu's abdomen and asked.

However, Wan Qiu didn't answer, he didn't know if he could answer.

"I'll keep it a secret, and nothing will happen that harms you." Chu Yigui seemed to be careless, just chatting, and didn't particularly care.

"It was my dad who kicked it, and when I was cleaning up the room at night, I kicked down the beer bottle and woke my dad up." Wan Qiu seemed to trust in the matter of sharing secrets, and had some secret enthusiasm, and after getting Chu Yigui's assurance, he no longer had any guilt in his heart.

Chu Yigui's hand tapped Wanqiu's legs, and there were bruises that were obviously caused by the same time period: "What about here?" ”

"This is where Dad kicked that day, too."

Chu Yigui nodded, and put his finger on Wan Qiu's shoulder, there were obvious traces of a serious injury, and there were also shoddy sutures on it, as well as a hideous wound: "What about here?" ”

"When my grandmother went crazy, she pushed me into the chicken coop, and there was a wire tip next to it, which was cut, and the village doctor helped sew it." Wan Qiu said.

"Is it badly hurt?" In terms of magnitude, the chaotic scene of the time can almost be expected.

Wan Qiu nodded obediently: "Well, I have been having a fever all this time, lying in bed and unable to move, and grandma has been giving me medicine." ”

"What about here?" Chu Yigui asked Wan Qiu about the very strange marks on his thighs, which looked like tooth marks, irregular oval, although the recovery could leave a mark that was different from the surrounding skin.

"I was bitten by a dog, my father stole the dog and wanted to eat dog meat, the dog rope broke, my father ran away, and I didn't run away."

Chu Yigui's hand paused, no longer raised his head, pretending to treat the wound seriously, and pointed to Wan Qiu's waist again: "What about here?" ”

"I don't remember." Wan Qiu blinked blankly, as if he didn't expect that there were still injuries here.

Wan Qiu's body had all kinds of scars that had been left behind, each of which had not been well treated, and behind each wound was something that was carried.

"You have more scars on your back than on your front." Chu Yigui said slowly.

Wan Qiu thought about it for a while: "When I was beaten, I kept hitting my stomach and chest, and it would hurt even more, so I curled up." ”

Chu Yigui's expression was complicated: "Is it experience?" ”

Wan Qiu tilted his head, he just did it instinctively.

Chu Yigui medicated all the bruises, re-bandaged a new bandage on Wanqiu's wrist, picked up the mobile phone, his eyes stayed in the bright light of the mobile phone, and asked Wanqiu, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt." Wan Qiu was talking about the bruises on his abdomen and legs, and then he said again, "It doesn't hurt too much." ”

Chu Yigui's tone was very calm, and he said, "Do you hate your grandmother, parents?" ”

This should be a resounding answer.

What Chu Yigui wanted to hear was also a positive answer.

Chu Yigui slowly raised his eyes from his mobile phone, and a dark color was brewing in his eyes.

However, in Wan Qiu's bright and clear eyes, no negative colors could be found.

Wan Qiu stared and observed Chu Yigui.

Wan Qiu didn't obey Chu Yigui's intentions, and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"They treat you like this, don't you hate them?" Chu Yigui asked again.

This time, Wan Qiu didn't even answer.

Not a refusal to answer.

From Wan Qiu's expression, Chu Yigui saw that he was at a loss.

If Wanqiu doesn't understand, he can't answer.

Chu Yigui's expression was stunned, and he lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions, so that Wan Qiu, who wanted to take a closer look, couldn't understand.

"Are you afraid?" Chu Yigui asked,

However, this time Wan Qiu thought about it: "Sometimes. ”

"Don't you hate it?"

This time, Chu Yigui still didn't get Wan Qiu's answer, as if for Wan Qiu, 'hate' was a term that had nothing to do with him.

"Would you be willing to leave them if you were given a chance?"
